BUILDING RAILROADS.

There is scarcely no end to the filing
of charters for new railroads of late.
While we do not expect that all Of
them will be built this year, at least.
vet we think we see signs that show
that the state is to be honey-combcd
as it were with railroads. The price
of steel rails is but $50 per ton, and
the difference between that and the
price but a few years ago Is shown
when we state that 800 per ton was
paid for the iron rails which were first
laid on what is now the Kansas
City branch of the a. T.&. ). i. X. X.
Less than oue-third is now paid for
steel rails than was paid then for iron
ones, which could hardly be given
away now. The labor and everything
connected with railroad building Is
low as compared with a few years ago.
This fact coupled with the fact that
the necessity of Kansas for more rail-
roads is conceded, and that money is
abundant and cheap, satisfies Us that
there will be many, many miles OF
railroad built in this state during the
next year. Why J. Gould could afford
TO build few hundred miles OF rail-
road, so rs to start boom IN
stocks. ont of which he
would make more than the
cost of the railroads. He has been
trying TO get that boom started by
other means and failed, and has now
turned his attention 10 railroad build
ing for that as one of the objects To-
pcka must get some OF these roads or
lag behind in the race. Tha! Thu l. Al
fact. il seems TO us must he conceded
by every one who desires 10 see our
cit, prosper. IL Is not necessary 10
use arguments with the fools who pro-
fess TO Ice afraid that if we build up Il
large city it will iDidre the laboring
Commonwealth.

She has had an eventful history, and il |
can be said of her, as of the hundred
and forty and four thousand" that
she has come up to her present status |
through "great tribulations." From |
the time she was organized as terri |
tory, in 1854, up almost to the time of
her admission as a state, in 1861, she
was a battle ground, wherein was
fought the great preliminary battle be-
tween the free and the slave states
All through the war that succeeded
this contest she was rent and torn by
the jayhawkers of both armies. And
since the war she has had her full share
of misfortunes in the shape of drouths
and grasshoppers. But, nevertheless,
despite all these tribulations, she has
| astonished the world by her eXtraor-

wealth.
Kansas is the geographical center of
the United States, as yOn will see by

corn crop of the United States, and

In corn and hogs she is coming rapidly
to the front, and in wheat. cattle anC
sheep she is high up in the column
AS yet she has but fourteen inhab

has about a million and a quarter a
