Washington still Complaining.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 25.-Con-
tinued expressions of disapproval and dis
appointment at the selection of New York
as the burial-place of Gen. Grant are heard
from all officials of every grade and citizens
generally in Washington. Said one of the
most prominent officials in the new admin
istration to-day: 1.-The burial of Gen.
Grant at New York, with the ceremonies
preceding it, will make it more of state
than national affair. His body is to lie in
state in Albany and New York city. 1t
ought to be placed in state in New York,
Philadelphia and Washington and then be
buried here beside the soldiers who fought
with him. Under the present arrangement
the army can do nothing more than it would
DO should it be called upon to assist in the
burial of any other prominent general. F"
| Citizens express sentiments similar 10 that
above indicated. They admit, however,
that if it We're the wish of Gen. Grant,
or if the family had decided preference
! that the burial take place in
| New York, further controversy is pre-
| cluded. The proposed selection of Central
park as the place of burial rather than
some other public reservation in New York
City is also specially criticised here, and the
suggestion is made that the center of Union
square, for instance would be a more fit
ting place for the interment of the dead
hero's remains and the erection of noble
monument to commemorate the nation
gratitude. A general order in the name OF
Gen. Sheridan has to-day been issued tC
Gen. Hancock directing him TO take charge
of the military ceremonies connected witt
| the funeral. An order giving instructions
as TO details will be issued early next week

To the Editor of the Eagle.
Yon NAV be surprised to receive a
communication from this secluded
spot, but the EAGLE in its flight
reaches us cvS-y week, and we are
pleased TO see the stand taken by il in
regard to competing lines of railroads.
Nothing would please the people OF
this section as much as direct railroad
surrounded by as good an agricultural
country rs Kansas can boast of. AL
most any amount in bonds would be
voted by our people which would sc,
cure TO us railroad connection with
Wichita. and which would open q
route for us TO St. Louis, and TO the
far east without paying toll To Kansas
City.
Can't the editor of the EAGLE give
us boost in this matter? II viii

boast of the first wheat producing
ing county in the state, but it takes
all the sand out of our farmers craws
to have TO haul their wheat and oats
eighteen TO twenty-five miles at such
low prices. We are like the Texan:
We want the railroad, and we want il
mighty bad. IL. &.

FOR ALL SOUTHWEST KANSAS

From the tone of three or four of
the papers of the fifty live journals
printed in southwest Kansas, one
might suppose that their editors had
concluded that the EAGLE, in its effort
to arouse local pride and energy, saw
only a future for Wichita. Such
conclusion is not only a narrow one
but is not warranted by anything this
paper has said.
With thoroughly developed indie
pendent railway system there is not n
county seat in the southwest that may
not reasonably aspire 10 become a
place of from ten TO fifteen thousand
people with hundreds offine towns be-
side. And that there would be a city
of real Importance somewhere within
from two to three hundred miles
southwest of Kansas City. While we
shall work TO make Wichita that city
tho EAGLE is, and always has been, a
southwest institution, always for the
great valley and all the towns, cities and
counties contiguous to it. The papers
mentioned, whether through envy or
short-sightedness of their editors, that
are making such 4 fight will wake up
inside of ten years and wonder why
they should have taken such posi-.
ton. If Wichita should make city
Of five hundred thousand it would
steal nobody's county seat nor any
towns county trade. IL would simply
have the effect of bringing great mar
ket two or three hundred miles nearer
the fiourishing towns and fortunate
producers of the great valley.

NEW RAILROADS IN KANSAS.

The Kansas City Journals Topeka
correspondent day before yesterday
writes: wv. Il. Strong, president of
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa de
Railway company, has been in this city
since tuesday on business that means
much for Kansas. His stay among Us
has been quiet, but few outside the
higher railroad circles knowing be was
here. There have been Important
conferences, and enough has come 20
light to indicate AN era of railroad
building that has not been witnessed
for years. 1t is known that the
Gould system has been making over
lures to the people Of several counties
in what is known rs the Santa Fee ter
tory. The present movements are
aimed to protect this country, and to
do so there will be a laying of steel
rails, with or without bonds being
sold, that will add many hundred miles
to the system Among the roads con-
templatcd is the branch running from
Independence southwest, passing
through Montgomery TO Chautauqua,
and thence west along the
south tier. There will also be
a cutoff from the Southern
Kansas, TO intercept the Missouri rr-
cific from Leroy. This road will most
| likely be a continuation of the Bur-
lington branch, passing through Yates
Center and Fredonia to Independence,
thus making a direct river connection.
Another lite has been definitely de-
termined, the extension of the King
man branch through Pratt and Ed
wards Oh this projected line. The en-
ginecrs will begin work in less than
ten days. Also west from KiOwa
along the southern border, which last
line will ultimately reach Trinidad,
but will at present go only to the west
line of the state.
The Santa Fe has obtained control
of the Topeka, Salina and Western,
which has been hanging fire SO long
| under Patterson's control. with only
seventeen miles built. That gentle.
man has sold out all his interest and
the Santa Fe being the hitherto un,
known purchasers, will push it :or,
ward 10 completion, connecting
Council Grove with Topeka and ex-
tending on from the present end to
Salina and possibly further. This is
considered an important line. BY fal
the most important road con
templated and which will bC

suits, is the line decided upon. starting

to build and occupy the territory men

COLD FACTS.

The commercial relation of Kansas
City to southern Kansas is one OF the
matters in which we ought To con-
slider the coolest and stubbornest facts.
The fancy that Kansas City is the
trade center and distributing point
for the state of Kansas must not be
allowed 10 close our eyes TO the two
facts that the rapidly growing coun-
ties of southern Kansas are not trad
ing in Kansas City largely.-kansas
City Times. l
True enough. The rapidly growing
southwest counties are trading largely
in Wichita.--EAGLE.
True enough. And if the EAGLE
will cast its eagle eye this way and
observe the situation. it will see that
Wichita will gain still more advantage

HUTCHINSON AND KINGMAN

KINGMAN, Sept. IL, 1885.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
A trip to Hutchison overland this
week is sufficient 10 call forth a few
remarks. Not only the first I'M
preston of the town, but talk with
some of her business men upon the
all-important topics of the west at the
present time-railroads. The Santa
Fee proposes TO build a branch south
west of Hutchinson through Stafford
county to Kinsley, aud they ask not
only the city but the county TO vote
bonds for that purpose. The average
business man is struck with the idea
that the Santa Fe has already had the
cream OF Reno county by way of land
prants-section after section-and
now to be asked TO help build branch
TO the same monopoly and tap their
very best trade on the southwest is too
much. No, they say Hutchinson does
not want any such branches. Were 1T
an opposition road things would be
different. The town of Hutchinson
would then receive some benefit by
the competition of the competing
roads at that point. They are free TO
acknowledge that Kingman has taken
a large norton of their trade, and the
binding Of this branch would drive
another nail in their coffin by building
another town on the southwest of
them.
The war that is going on in Stafford
county between the Santa Fe and the
d.. x A. is waxing warm as the
two elections approach. 1t is the be-
lief of those who have looked the stu
alton over earthly, and are well post
ed in Stafford. that the D., Nj. j. A.
will come of as victorious as it did in
Chautauqua county last month.
To return TO the town of Hutcein-
son it must be said the little city I'M
presses stranger very favorably.
