The Ninescah river is a half mile
from Main street, and affords fine wa
ter power which will soon be improv-
ed.
The railroad terminus is at King
man. forty miles distant, directly cast
from Pratt city. All goods lumber
and coal. have to be hauled from there,
which gives employment to hundreds
of freighters. We however expect in
the near future TO be fifteen miles
nearer q railroad depot.
We understand here in Pratt, that
the Santa Fe company intends build
ing a railroad from Hutchison TO
Kingsly. through the counties of
Stafford aud Edwards via ST. John in
Stafford county, which is only twenty
five miles directly north from Pratt.

expect TO have all our merchandise

We are in hopes that w. w. will
pull out Of kingman and come this
way before long. 1t would do US all
good ia this section OF country, aud
we are certain that Wichita wholesale
merchants would be greatly benefited
by it. We believe with You, that
Wichita at no distant day, will be a
large manufacturing and wholesale
city, and all il needs is men of means
and push, extend her lines of railroads
west, and the thing is done.
Southwestern Kansas is being
settled mp very fast with good class
of citizens mostly from Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri and Iowa. a per-
son is hardly ever out of sight of an
emigrant wagon coming west.
And now, Mr.. Editor, 10 wind up, l
will say that Pratt county and Pratt
city, is the spot of all spots in South
western Kansas. There never could
be more beautiful location for town
than this, and many will make it one
of the most lovely places in the west,
and as the recent vote of the county
has given US the county seat, and the
railroad reaches us, we shall, Mr.. Edi-

TREATY-MAKING AND LAW-MAKING.

TO INC EUFIUF OF nc IFFOUHt
SIR Your article Of this date on Treaties
and the Revenue proceeds upon the theory that in all
questions relating to raising revenue the Congress is SUI
premc and the tymakng power, viz. the President
aud Senate. cannot exercise that power in any case
wherein the question OF revenue mar be involved.
The political struggles Of the past the close OF the
late Civil War, have very largely turned upon this very
question OF the subordinaton OF the Executive 10 the
legislative power of the Government II the Constitu-
ton imposes restrictions upon the treaty making power
Is It equally true that there restrictions upon the
legislative power Can the latter claim be superior
to tho former Mut not tho power of tho legislative
branch be exercised with due regard those Of the
otheri Take the matter Of war Congress shall have
power to declare war;" the President " shall have
power by and with tho advice and consent Of the Sen
ate, to make treaties. provided twothrds Of the
Senators present sonour Under this power treaty OF
