BLIND BUSINESS MEN.

The great and unparalleled prosperity
which hss attended Kansas City the pas,
few years has evidently blinded her business
men TO the fact that the most dangerous
point in her history has been reached
There is danger that they will take IL as a
matter of course that the splendid destiny OF
the CITY will fulfil itself. But as Il matter OF
fact great deal of hard work must yet be
done to disarm the opposition 10 Kansas
CITY and put in its place a feeling Of friend
illness which viii make her an object OF
pride and even generous solicitude on
the part of the people Of the entire territory
south and southwest. 1t Is as much a truism
that continual watchiulness and sagacious
cndeaver are the price Of commercial great
ness as that eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty-k. c. Times.
"Friendliness" has little TO do with shap-
ing commerce or building railways. Bust
ness. selfish business interests, are the "open
sesame" that counts when YOU want TO sell
a steer or buy yard Of new calico. The
unparalleled success of Kansas City during
the past few years may have blinded her
business men but it has made them swfully
rich. But that there is any danger in the
point now reached by Kansas City is princi-
pally wind With Omaha. ST. Joe, Atchi-
son and Leayenworth she viii remain
good trade center, but she cannot have the
whole earth.

A DROWNING MANS STRAW.

The Wichita EAGLE still screams at Kan
.as City but the metropolis of the Sny Hills
goes calmly ahead working up her Paola
branch as though such a town a. Wichita
WAS entirely Winfield Telegram.
Which only shows the dense ignorance
of the writer. The Daily EAGLE within its
brief existence, in fact within few months,
has not only aroused every city in the state
and all their papers-:o the necessity OF
independent lines Of railway, 70 the end that
Kansas business shall be done on Kansas
soil, but has frightened Kansas City as she
was never frightened before. OF course the
the Kansas City papers 90 not say more
than they can help saying, and of course
they endeavor to blind their readers to the
fact that Wichita Is the city whose present
and coming importance they fear, but no
one save a dullsrd can fail TO understand
the situation or to understand that the
EAGLE has created such an upheaval among
the railroads and people of the state on the
railroad question rs never was seen before.
Kansas City's cslmncss, if she pretends to
such a thing, is a forced one and her Paola
link straw to drowning man, but a
straw, which if caught, will help Wichita
more than IL will Kansas CITY,

TIRED.

Senator Eugene F. Ware writes q commu-
nication to the Fort Scott Monitor setting
forth the fact that the people of the state,
without regard to party, are tired of the eter-
nal discussion that has for years been kept
up over the prohibition question. The sem
ator is willing that the work, or rather signs
of the work in that interest in the past. shall
stand, but he says the people won't stand
any further irritation. The senator concludes
in these words:
therefore may not your readers and the
readers of other Republican papers in the
state, with propriety ask that the question of
prohibition be dropped and subscribers be
furnished with news of live commercial in
terest.
l hope you will not consider this letter as
written in unfriendiiness to the Monitor. 1t
| is not; it is general protest, and it may as
| well be said now rs at any other time that if
there are three words of prohibition injected
into the next Republican state platform that
the next governor of Kansas will be Dem
ocrat, for the people are tired"

WHAT THE EAGLE" PROPOSED
TO DO.

Kansas CITY Is really facing critical point
in her history. There is very apparent
danger shat any prolonged inactivity on the
part of Kansas City regarding this Paola
extension Will lose TO her the bulk of the
southern Kansas trade, which righttully be-
longs to her Shall Kansas City halt in her
glorious march of progress, or shall she con-
tinue grandly on to the fulfillment of a des-
tiny which has been pointed out by the
hand of nature? This question must be
answered bv her business men. What say
you, gentlemen. Shall the Paola extension
b. built?-k. c. Times.
1t is very true, as the Times SAYS, "Kan-
sas City is really facing critical point in
her history" but it win be found Just as
cheap to face It as to turn her back upon it,
and much wiser. Over one hundred and
thirty-five thousand people-more people
than there are in all the conglomerated
town at the kaw's mouth-naye
poured into southwest Kansas this
year, people who know nothing Of
nor care for Kansas City, and who have
nothing in common with Kansas City, ex-
cept as they may happen to live on line Of
road which reaches that point. To relieve
these latter peoples Of the necessity of going
two and three hundred miles, on local rates
TO a Missouri town TO buy their supplies and
market their vast and numerous products, il
was proposed by the EAGLE last spring that
we construct new and independent lines o.
railways and build up on our own soil com
,nerciai TOWNS and crreat markets II Kan
sas city can 20 on with cher glorious marcl

not expect to go on in that way at our ex
pense. The "fulillment of her destiny

THE GOULD SYSTEM.

The magnificent railroad facilities Of Kan
sas CITY need strengthening in a very vita
point. The Gould system of roads OF south
ern Kansas must be brought into direct
communication with Kansas City, and this
object ran be easily accomplished by the
building Of the Paols extension, about
which 80 much has already been said by
the Times. The business men of this city
should awake TO the great evil which
threatens them before il is too late 70
handie.-k. c. Times
Does the Times fer a moment expect thst
even with the Paola extension built-a
train-losd Of wheat, starting from Wichita,
on the Missouri Pacific, for Chicago. Toledo
or ST, Louis, would be run up 10 Kansas
CITY over the Pao!a link and there dumped
into pool, so long as Gould can run that
train over his own lines 10 either of the
points named. with the full profits of long
haul and in spite of any ruling that could
be fairly made by pooling commissioner
Isn't the Times, in lis anxiety, catching at
strswss Gould loves Kansas City just as he
loves sll towns and just in proportion TO
what he can make out of them. He IS for
the towns and countries that promise the
most to his system.

THE CITY OF KANSAS.
rom the Anthony Daily Herald

From the Anthony Daily Herald.
The Wichita EAGLE is fair exponent of
the principle that paper well sustained at
home repays all costs by the value of the
work done for home interests. No factor in
the growth and prosperity of Wichita has
been more potent than the able editorials of
the EAGLE in behalf of the local interests OF
the city. Through the efforts of her people
directed and aided by Murdocks forcible
leaders and sage counsel, Wichita is destined
to become the City OF Kansas, and the gate
through which the trade of the Great South
west must flow. The Herald aims to become
of like value TO Anthony, and if properly
sustained by the people, of which there is no
doubt, will be able to do as much, in pro-
portion, for Anthony, as the EAGLE has &C.
complished, and will yet accomplish, for the
Queen OF the Arkansas Valley.

KANSAS CITY EXPOSITION.

The Kansas City exposition closed Satur-
day and we hear only harsh criticism from
Kansas visitors. The exposition, it seems
WAS not Kansas City affair, but show
sustained by Kansas people. at point in
in the state of Missouri, somewhere south
east of the mouth of the Kaw river. Kan
sss City, no doubt, put up quite lively for
the show. but we opine her people would
have made just as much had it heen held
q. Wyandotte or Shawneetown. No one be-
lieves that Kansas City got up the show from
disinterested motives entirely, therefore its
location in the vicinity of Westport and Lit
tie Santa Fe is not SO easily understood by
the knnsa. people who went down.

AT THE EXPENSE OF KANSAS.

The finger Of fate during the lat five
years has pointed to Kansas City as the
future great metropolis, the one and only
great city between ST. Louis and San Fran
cisco, the city that in fifteen years shall have
a million of inhabitants and surpass St.
Louis in population as she does already in
dash. pluck and commercial clan. But this
picture is still largely ideal. Kansas City
hasn't got there vet. To be sure Topeka,
Leavenworth, Lawrence and all the cities
combined in Kansas cannot prevent Kansas
City from becoming a great city. She is
that already. But they can prevent with
the power of this great state OF Kansas,
Kansas CITY from realizing her glorious
ideal OF commercial supremacy. She Is
now in a critical condition, and has arrived
at period fatally portentous. This loss of
30 per cent of the business of one-third of
the stste, naturally tributary to her, Is not
a pleasant picture to look upon. The
movements now on the railroad chess board
TO further Isolate her and cut off her trade
in Kansas and pour the swelling volume of
the business of this great grain and stock
state into other channels bodies no good for
Kansas City.-Lawrence Gazette.
The singer Of fate is myth Fate no
longer controls the commerce nor traffic of
the world. The only reason the "nine-
tenths" of southwest Kansas trade, alluded
10, does not go TO Kansas City now as form
erly Is because it is not 10 the interest of
our people tina: it should. We have new
connections and more satisfactory CONNER
cial relations True, in a former period,
Leaveuworth, Lawrence and Atchison were
d5wned in fight with Kansas City fol
supremacy, but those towns we're dependant
upon the same sources and elements which
Kansas City handled to a better advantage
therefore Kansas City won in that particular
contest. But AS the EAGLE has reiterated
over and over again, the present contest is
not only new one, but on new field
The cities that viii make the present fight
occupy the new base of supplies which Kan
sas CITY is reaching for. There is no objec-
ton TO Kansas City remaining Kansas City
and occupying fully her own field, but there
is an objection to her becoming Chicago
at the expense Of Kansas.

rHg pAoLA ExrENsIoM.

No doubt in the history Of al large COM
mercial centers appears period when their
growing greatness reached q point which
excited the envy and envited the attacks Of
smaller but ambitious cities. Kansas CITY
has reached such point in her history, as
is evidenced by the fight which is being
made upon her by many of the towns and
cities OF kansas.-K- c. Times.
There is no fight being made upon Kan
sas City by "many of the towns and cities
of Kansas" The towns and cities of Kan
sas, after careful aurvey of the EAGLES
proposition that it would be grand thing
to do the business of Kansas on Kansas soil
have concluded that the suggestion was q
wise one, that Kansas has nothing to gain in
building up Missouri town, SO have gone
to work for the upbuilding of Kansas towns
Some of the newspapers have been slow te
catch on, but the people have not. The
| fight is not against Kansas City but for our.
/ selves

THE FUTURE TRADE CENTER.

Wichita is still "whooping it up" on the
railroad question. All we ask is good
straight road from here to the future trade
center of Kansas TO be satisfied and that is
coming in the Wichita and Western extern
sion. The EAGLE screams to some advan-
tage, and we out here are willing to back it
in the fght.-Greensburg Rustler.
So say they all. The Rustler as well as
the people of Greensburg can rest assured
that while Wichita can't boast the capital of
Chicago yet her business men are ''up to
snuff" and are bound TO have railroad con-
nections with every town south of the Ar
kansas river. Brains are better than capt.
tai, for brains make capital and the machin-
cry is being put in motion to force the build
in,r Of many roads

The Anthony Daily Herald makes its ap
pearsnce on our table as a seven column
folio morning paper. The first number is
very bright and newsy and talks like paper
that had come TO stay. The newspaper en-
terprise of the southwest is a marvel, and so
great a number of journals could and would
not be sustained by a like number of people
anywhere else in the world. We hope for
the Herald happiness and abundant shekels.
