CORRECT, GENERAL.


We beg to remind cur friend Marsh Muir
dock. of the Wichita EAGLE, that the young
giant of Southeastern Kansas is keeping side
by side with the young giant OF the South
west. Each has an appropriation for pub
lie building from congress, and each rs to
commence at once the construction OF a new
railroad To the northw' st-a line from Nich-
ila through Western Kansas into Southern
Colorado. and road from Fort Scott 10
Northern Kansas and into Dakota. The one
will tap the coal fields of the Centennial
state and the other the wheat fields of the
richest of the northwestern territories. The
building of both roads is severe dose for
Kansas City.-Fort Scott Monitor.
We need no reminder of Fort SCOTS pros
pcrity, nor of her grit and get up and git,
therefore heartily endorse as sound the pro-
positions as laid down by the good General
Rice As for the condition of Kansas City
she is badly collapsed in the region of the
belt and the people Of Kansas are TO be con-
graduated that she he.ds this way.

The lime FOB WORK.

The citizens of Atchison ought to organ
ize q committee 10 look sfteI the railroad
interests OF The CITY. This is an era of rail-
road building. More lines are being pro-
iected in Kansas than during any period for
ten years pact. Many of these lines will be
buI Even some that seem most visionary
and unnatural have secured substantial aid
from, and are bling built by, practical rail-
road builders
The Southwestern project ought TO be
pushed. 1t is a practicable scheme. II will
enlist the enthusiasm and cooperation of u
rich and prosperous section OF our State
The road would pay. IL is one Of the
schemes of railway building in Kansas that
has legitimate basis. The line. properly
located, would traverse a section destitute of
adequate railroad fsciities-s region that is
rich in crops, in stock, in business. And
the Champion is confident that If We had
five or SIX men who would give this er.ter-
prise their attention, and push il with zeal
and energy, il could be made triumphant
success.
What we need in Atchison more than any
thing else, jus; now, is the active, energetic
work of bali n dozen or more men IN rail-
wav enterprises. The time is opportune.
The stake is worth striving for. n few men
men who have some time TO do such work,
and the energy and disposition to do it
could accomplish wonders. Let our citi-
zens 90 to work. Let those who are inter-
ested in the growth and prosperity of Atch
ison put their wits and energies at work, and
start railroad honm.-Champion.

A DAY IN WICHITA.

Last Sunday. in company with our genial.
whole-souled fellow townsman, Mr.. j. h.
Hnun. We boarded the o'clock train tor
Wichita. Arriving at our destination q few
minutes past Q O'Clock, we proceeded at
once TO take in the sights and view the won
derful growth II the future metropolis OF
the great southwest. We visited the city
waterwJrks and the new court house, at
which We gazed for sc me time with wonder
aud admiration. They are both institutions
of which a city of much lsrge pretensions
might well feel proud.
In our meanderings through the city We
could not help noticing the many stately
business blocks and handsome residences
under way, some of which were fast nearing
completion, and presented a grand and I'M
posing spectacle. They will stand through
the ages to come as living monuments TO
the credit of the enterprise and push OF the
inhabitants of that fiourishing young city.
Well may Kansas City feel jealous Of her
new rival, for with the numerous lines of
railroad already built and the completion of
those now under way and in contemplation,
Wichita is bound TO become the leading
commercial metropolis and trade center of
the southwest
During our stay in the city we had the
pleasure of making the acquaintance Of Mr..
y. 5. Woods, chief engineer of the St.
Louis, Fort Scott & Wichita railroad, whom
we found TO De very sociable and agreea-
bic gentleman. In this connection we can
not refrain from speaking good word for
the ST. Louis, Fort Scott & Wichita rail-
road. We are more than ever impressed
with the idea of its importance as the lead
ing route TO St. Louis and all points east,
and we are pleased to know
the travelling public are begin
ming TO recognize it as such. Its first-class
equipments, polite officials and accommo-
dating agents and train men are the impor-
tant factors which combine to make the
road SO popular. For quick time, comfort
and courteous treatment take the popular
and reliable "Sunflower route
At Z o'clock in the evening our train roll
ed up TO the depot and We took passage in
bran splinter new coach for Freeport, the
future metropolis of Harper county, which,
not quite so large as Wichita, is
destined TO become city of no little i'm
portauce-Freeport Leader.

The Peabody Gazette is out in supple
ment this week devoted entirely to the 0ma-
la, Abeline & Wichita railway. 1t is d
splendid showing in favor Of the speedy
construction of the rood. The most foolish
opposition in Marion county is made up Of
the assertion that the ROAD Is Santa Fe pro-
ject. Such 4 sentiment is not worthy of a
denial. There is aud can be no sense TO
such an assertion, and no intelligent person
can entertain any such apprehension. The
demand for such line came entirely Of the
desire for an Independent trunk line to Chi
cago. What Wichita could want with an
other branch Of the Santa Fe passes our
comprehension, and no more does Marion
or Peabody.

THE STRYcHNrNE HEROINE.

Like sweet morsel Emporia people con-
tinue, week in and month out, 10 roll the
strychnine creole under theiI tongues, not
withstsndinS that woman's departure for
the land OF inIrigues and passion. The
willy Minnie not only got sway with Walk
up. but the jury, and it now looks rs if she
had captured the entire town. There was
never a palmer case, but the Alterations.
GOODNESS and intrigues Of a woman put up
and maintained the character Of an innocent
sixteen year Oh child, swsmped the mos,
wonderful and complete chain of circum-
stantial evidence and compelled TO pass as
truth the thinnes: and most improbable con-
coctioRs ever allowed TO muster rs evidence.
\ mans life which had been rs an open
book for years all went for naught as
against the talk Of person confessedly
without character or notion OF honor. If
the Emporia papers would but be made TO
understand the disgust OF leyel-headed peo-
pie who have watched the proceedings-the
nasqueradings o! the defense in that case
IRON The beginning ana without blas, they
would surely let up. There was not a
movement, word or action OF the woman,
or her mother, from the time Of Walkup's
first proposal until he was dead, cut up and
buried, and bis medicine giver cleared, that
was not IN and Of themselves suspicious.
The marriage itself was travesty, and the
revelations Of the dying man pitiful. II the
defendant herself or her mother were what
they claimed, or if they bad substantial
friend in the world who believed them TO be
good, pure women, why wasn't that news
paper, the Mascot, called upon for retrac-
ton or for Jamages: Until the papers and
people of Emporia can excuse, or give some
reason, other than that of dollars and cents,
why the six jurymen who believed her
guilty consented TO her acquittal, they had
as well give us q rest

For. Scott Monitor: In the vain hope
of defeating the building of the Dakota road
from this city TO Topeka and one to the
northwest, Kansas City merchants have
raised fund of $500 TO survey road
from there TO Dakota. They will find that
il takes more money than this TO build II
railroad, and their scheme will not work.
Fort Scott will get her road and Kansas City
will not get hers. Kansas City never did
build railroad. and judging from the WAY
her merchants failed 10 raise $4,000 for he
Faola road, she never will.
