IN Jne massachusetts senate Thursday, Mr..
Cogswell of Essex opposed the House bill in addi-
tion to ian act to authorize the Eastern Railroad
Company to issue preferred stock in exchange for
cerIlncales OF Indebtedness" He said that II this
is to give Legislative sanction to the legality OF
the lease between the Eastern and the Boston and
Maine Railroads it ought to be defeated Ten wears
ago, instead OF honestly going into insolvency the
Eastern Road succeeded, through the medium of
legislation, in saddling the burden of its fifteen
million dollars debt on the people of Essex county,
and making them pay the extra cost of fares. AL
ready lease that has passed between the Eastern
and the Boston ana Maine Railroad and the pre-
sent lease is liable to be overturned by the Supreme
Court of New Hampshire
Mr.. Thomas of Norfolk said that there had been
no charge OF extortion in tariff on the Eastern
Railroad, and that the Railroad Commissioners
could regulate 1T. The Eastern Railroad manage
ment, SINCE the adjustment few years ago. had
peen tne means OF saving the property to the stock
nolders and raising the value of stock. The bill
ooes not increase the fixed charges it does not hurt
the oonqholders, and it does improve the value OF
the stock.
Mr.. Frye of Essex said that since 1876 the stock
holders of the Eastern Railroad were Obliged to let
all the earnings go toward sthe cancelling of the
bonded indebtedness Now that the road is manag
ed by the Boston and AIaine and there is prospect
of improved earning, it is proposed by this bill to
allow the holders OF preferred stock to receive
dividends
I6 is stated that as soon as the ground opens the
work OF extending the Boston 81 Maine double track
from Exeter to Dover will be done, also the CON
struction of new arch and bridge at Salmon Falls.
1t is also rumored that the entire double track will
be completed the present year.

AT the First Baptist church in the morning,
Rev DR.. Small preached a stirring sermon on
Christian fidelity. His text was from Ex 80,
&c, "Who is on the Lords side?" In the eve
ming the pastor delivered the third in the Sc
ries Of lectures on the character Of Daniel and
his three friends. The special subject was
Daniels Courage, or the test OF true great
ness" The text was from Dan 3: 18:-"Be it
known unto thee, o Kingi that we will not
serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image
which thou hast set up" 1t was an eminently
timely and practical exposition of the charac.
ter and need OF that courage that dares to stand
for God and the right under all circumstances
and at all hazards.

Hon. VIM. Ross sold his herd of
thirty-one thOrOughbreds - Devon
to-day at auction. Prices ranging
very satisfactory. His celebrated
seven-year-Old bull-Ninnescah Valley
sold to I. j. Macredie. for SlO5. He
has no superior in the state. A very
fine COW sold TO Hon. X. Huckle for
$3.50. The entire herd was sold to the
best farmers in this vicinity. We are
glad to see our farmers thus taking
STEPS that will soon make very valua-
BILE improvements in their stock. Sedg-
wick county in few years will be as
celebrated for her improved stock of
cattle, as she now is for wonderful
corn crops and improved stock of
hogs. This valley has never been
blessed with better crops, particularly
corn and oats, than it now is. Business
in town is beginning TO improve, and
many of our farmers are building new
residences and otherwise improving
their farms. Some Wichita parties
are preparing 10 build mill, which is
an Improvement in the right direction.
Our new $1,000 school house will be
commenced very soon, and with these
improvements and a city government
which will he completed soon. Clear
water will be entitled to an enviable
position among the new cities of this
truly rich and thriving vail ev The
farmers of the east are coming here
and buying our farms and making
homes where they can enjoy health,
without which the luxuries of any
country amount 10 nothing. We say
to those who are seeking homes in the
west that Sedgwick county and the
rich valley of the Minnesota affords
more real advantages tor home than
any other place in Kansas. ALrHA.

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.

The friend and we have no doubt he
is both friend and Republican who
wrote up the Wichita postofiice fight
for the ST. LOUIS Globe-Democrat
makes one mistake that we feel like
calling his attention to. IL we had
ever been known TO support Repub-
lican for office Tor pay of any charac-
ter. @ promise of pay, If, upon the
contrary we had not always nnselfish-
then there might be some excuse for
the assertion that ingalls, and Plumb
were holding Murdoch in his position
because of a support in turn from the
EAGLE. The holding of the postoffi ce
has never cut any figure or had any
weight in our support OF any man or
set of men, not so much as feathers
weight. We are for the best party
and for The best men that is for Re-
publican principles and for the men
who believe politically as we do. If
there are two more capable men TO be
found in Kansas TO represent this state
in the United States senate than
Plumb and ingalls,, we have simply
failed to find them, and the postoffi &C
cuts no figure in the estimate. In
short, we were personal and politi-
cal friend of ingalls, before one thought
of the senate or the other of the post
Office, and we worked for Plumb for
the United States scnatorship before
there was any Wichita or dream of a
Wichita postofiice
