TIE SANTA FE'S PURCHASE.

The Santa Fe has obtained control
of the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe and
will, in connection with this road,
build a new line that will give it an
independent outlet to Galveston, be-
tween which point and New York it
can make use of the Mallory line of
steamers. This would enable the San
Ia Fe to compete with them for all the
trunk lines and compete with them for
all The traffic of Kansas. Colorado,
Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Cali
fornia, and old Mexico points. The
Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe road as at
present built and operated, runs from
Galveston to Fort Worth, from SOM
ersvii!e to Conroes, from Cleburne 10
Dallas, from Temple to Coleman and
from Alvin TO Houston with several
other less important lines making in
all mileage now built of abou: 800
miles The projected lines arc, among
others, from Fort Worth through the
Indian Territory TO Arkansas City,
the survey for which has just been
completed. If this link is put in inn
mediately, as the company say, or,
whenever put in, Wichita will have a
new and direct line TO Galveston, as
will this whole valley, the inevitable
result of which will be that large
proportion of our products will go
south, some of them 10 New York by
way of Galveston.

THE MULVANE EXTENSION.

Work is progressing rapidly on the

Clearwater, thence due west through
the northern portion of Barber county
and will undoubtedly tap Sun City.

re, and has the backing 10 push il
through.-Topeka Capital.
The Capital is probably nearly cor
rect. 1t has not been clear that this
road would run to kingman only for
the purpose of paralleling road in
which the Santa Fe already owns a
half interest. The road will run on
west then through Comanche. Clark,
Mead aud other counties as an extern
sion of the line indicated few weeks
since by the EAGLE, in all probability.
When completed, trains will be opera
ted to Wichifs over it and TO Kansas

road is built more to beat the Frisco

damage the ID. NJ. & A scheme.

Atchison is all right only ii is ico
far up in the corner. Emporia is the
place. Its location is more central as
to population than Topeka, thus more
convenient to the west aud southw est

There is just as much sense and fair
ness in insisting on holding national
conventions at Washington rs Kansas
conventions at Topeka. Wichita j.
more deserving than Topeka for these
reasons and others, but Emporia is the
best place of the three. Another
thug the newspapers at either Empo-
ria or Wichita will give fair and
complete report of the convention
proceedings. The Topeka papers
have not done this for many years.
The republican organs of that city are
so prejudiced that they can't or won't
do it, and the so-called democratic
