BUILDING RAILROADS.

There is scarcely no end to the fling
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-combed
as il 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
hen we state that 500 per ton was
paid for the iron rails which were first
laid on what is now the Kansas
City branch of the A. TN. 5. +. *. IL.
Less than onc-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 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 as to start boom III
stocks, out 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 to railroad build.
ing for that as one of the objects To-
peks must get some of these roads OF
lag behind in the race. That this IS q
fact, it seems TO us must be conceded
by every one who desires to see our
city prosper. 1t is not necessary to
use arguments with the fools who pro-
fess 10 be afraid that if We build up O
large city it will injure the laborine
man. Commonwealth.

THE STORY OF KANSAS.

Hon. A. W. Campbell, in letter IL
his paper, the Wheeling, West Nir
GINA, lntelligencer, says:
The story of Kansas is a pretty ia
miliar one TO most newspaper readers
She has had an eventful history, and il
can be said of her, as of the hundred
and forty aud four thousand" that
she has come up to her present status
through "great tribulatioDs. From
the time she was organized rs a terri
tory, in 1854, up almost to the time OF
her admission as 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 jsyhawkers 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-
binary growth in population and
wealth.
Kansas is the geographical center of
the United States, as you will see by q
map of the Union, and ii is therefore
meet that she should be great COM
monwealth--a state that all Ameri-
cans can be proud of. In point of area
and in point of production, and in
point Of railroads, schools and wide

she produces about one-eighth of the
corn crop of the United States, and
about one-tenth of the wheat crop,
aud pretty much the same proportion
as respects oats, hay and live stock.
In corn and hogs she is coming rapidly
TO the front, and III wheat, cattle and
sheep she is high up in the column
As yet she has but fourteen inhab-
itants 10 the square mile, and yet she
has about million and a quarter Of
people. What will her populstiOn be
and what will her development be
when. as in Massachusetts,, she had
275 people to the square mile. The as
sessed value Of her wealth, all told, in
1860, was only about $25, 900, 900. To.
day the true value is about $500, Co.,
600. Despite all of the hindrances OF
her early history and the drawbacks
of later date, this wealth has nearly
ali been created out of her soil by the
pioneer class of poor and hardy i'm
migrants. There must be a great
deal in soil and also great deal il
a people that can show such a record
