and then begins turning hand-springs
across the prairie and over barbcd wire

A professor from an eastern college

A Frencil FlnMer Farm

There is on the maritime foothills. in

about seventeen acres, belonging to Nine.

the level of the Mediterranean, and per.
haps twenty miles from the coast. The
caIcareous soil was naturally thin and
poor, and the olive trees which had
occupied the ground for century
or more previous to 1891, yielded
but scmty and unsatisfactory re-
turns, and the land was regard.
cd as practically worthless. In 1891 the
propriehess caused the ground o be
cleared and prepared for flower culture.

the larger stones removed. In the
autumn Of 1881, As, 900 tufts Of violets.

were planted. The following spring the

THE NEED FOB COMPETITION
One Way to secure IL.

EDITOR INTELLIaENcER:-In your
last issue, in an editorial, you say the
friends of the railroad claim that its
charges are the same for freight OH
as is paid by the coal company,
and Won doubtless think this is true.
But this is not true, and if the friends"
of the road claim any such thing, it
shows that INT of two things is true,
either that they know nothing about it,
or that they are SO friendly that they
cannot tell what they do know. The
railroad has motif a long time charged
the coal company the same it charges
others, and if the railroad commission
ers feel enough interest to investigate
the matter, the writer can put them
on the track ofthe evidence to estab-
lish that fact. The writer has no inter-
est, directly or indirectly, in the coal
business, except such as is common to
every citizen OF the town, and who sees
in the conduct of the railroad and the
Gould syndicate. a settled purpose to
cripple the coal interest by the creation
of a great monopoly, and TO squeeze
out every other person engaged in ii .
business. Some fine morning the peo-
pie of this community will awake to
find themselves owned by Jay Gould.
The coal interest of the railroad, if
comuelled to do its duty as a common
carrier, will prove a blessing 10 the
| community and a source of wealth to
| the town but if the coal is to oe work
ed as a monopoly, just when, how, aud
in such quantities as the selfish ends of
Jay Gould demand, 1t will become a
| curse to Lexington.
What we want is competition, which
will bring work for ten miners where
we now have one. But this is just
what the Gould interests ar5 determin-
ed we shall not have. Even Our mer-
| chants are now taxed 5 per cen by
the monopoly on all of its own orders.
But the people of this town need not
be dependent on the Mo. Pacific. So
many things are being talked about
that the writer feels reluctant to make
any suggestions which he feels are
practical and within III reach. We
may get the c., B. s. g., and we may
not, But there is q rOad-bed from
here to Odessa, which we are told $780,
600 Or $40, 900 will put in order for the
ties. Why can not some Of our men
of means, with those of Odessa organize
q company, say of $50, 900 capital, with
a charter to build a road from here to
Odessap Then If the people of Lexing-
ton and Odessa would extend the same
aid they did to the Waters project Gin
which there eve was anything.l we
could soon have a road equipped and
running to Odessa. The G. & A.
would be glad to make a satisfactory
arrangement to haul the coal cars from,
Odessa to Kansas City and an immense
coal business would spring up at once.
The local travel would also be some
thing. Then we could 60 to the c., Z
b q people, and say Gas an induce

\ Lexington & Gulf belongs to the per.
sons through whose land it passes, and
: they would give the same to the new
project. $.

DISORIMIN
From the +. G. Tlmes.l

The railroad authorities who inform
ed Senator Cullom's committee that
there was free competition everywhere
and that the roads found it best always
to deal fairly and Justly with shippers.
either told what they knew to be not
true or they had not studied rates in
the southwest. Can they explain why
it costs 80 per cent more to haul freight
a mile in a southwesterly direction
from Chicago than In a nOrthwesterly
direction? That is one little arithmeti-
cal problem.
The Lexington lntelligencer of las
Saturday propounds another. The
Missouri Pacific railroad owns coal
| mines there. Recently the road advan-
ced rates to outside shippers to Kan
sas City and Atchison and at the same
time made a great reduction in the
price of coal at points of consumption.
The Intelligencer interprets this-action
to mean that the Missouri Pacific
means to control the coal lands along
its line by freezing out other owners.
Though the road charges the same rates
for transporting its own coal, the In
telligencer says that when money is ia
ken out of one pocket and put into an
other pocket Of the same pantaloOns,
the owner is not losing anything. Ac-
cording to this Interpretation, the Mis-
souri, Pacific is using its power as g
common carrier to advance its interests
as a coal mine owner and to subjugate
competitors, thus breaking the common
law relating to carriers and becoming
an enemy to public business.
