THE New York Star in comment
ing on the effort in certain quarters
to besmirch the fair names OF Messrs.
Garland and Lamar on account of
their ownership of Pan Electric Tel
ephonc stock, thus fairly and effect
ually reveals the animus of the
whole matter:
"The whole affair is the most scan
dalous occurrence of the time. Two
public men, of high and command
ing reputation, who have performed
their duties with care and delicacy,
are assailed with slanderous imputa
tons unsupported by even shadow
Of fact.
This shameful deed is done In the
interest of corporations who are
maintaining right TO property
which, there is reason to suspect,
has been obtained by gross fraud
upon the government
Tie reason for this suspicion, rap
idly "ripenlng into belief" grows
out of the violent and even criminal
methods which the Bell Telephone
Company is pursuing. Its attempts
to defame Mr.. Garland and to cast
suspicion upon Mr.. Lamar must be
inspired by fear of the results Of the
suit. If the company had the de
tense OF conscious innocence, it would
meet the emergency with confidence
and calmness. Az abortive litiga-
ton, unsupported by the truth, is
not calamity so dreadful as to &C
count for the panic that has seized
upon the Bell Telephone Company
and its ally, the Western Union.
We cay to those who control the
affairs OF these companies that they
are walking in path full! Of danger.
They are creating public opinion
agains. them which will make their
defeat most probable event, and
which viii be sure TO excite suspic-
ions so grave and so general as mean
while to seriously impair the value
Of their properties.
In no way could the lack Of influ
ence OF certain newspapers have
been so clearly shown as by their
failure to produce upon the public
mind the impression they sought for
in this instance.
1t is remarkable TO note the uni
versal incredulity as to the charges
| against Messrs. Garland and Lamar.
We do not believe that, out of GER.
tam newspaper offices and outside OF
these corporations, one responsible
citizen of New York can be found
who is wiling to say publicly that
he sustains these accusations. They
have been received here with SUR
prise, with disbelief and contempt"

speech with such ponderous logic as
to crush all the sophistry which the
ingenuity Of alcohol can invent:

In this issue will be found an ar.
ticle taken from the Gazette in re-
gard TO the extension Of the L. r. d
Fl S. X. r. through the Indian Ter
ritory. AS we have always main
tanned and always expect to, we
repeat that out of mere sentiment
this Chinese wall on our western
border ought not to be allowed to
stand. 1t has intercepted western
Arkansas prosperity long enough.
Break 1t down by any and every
means (fair) and let The great state
Of Arkansas have the consequent de
velopment from such an event. We
urge upon our representatives. in
congress to use their utmost endeav-
Dors to get this right OF way through
tho territory at once.

AT last the issue has been joined
beteen the President and the senate.
The senate demands the reasons oil

kind Of fight with the President,
or that they can intimidate the dem.
ocratic occupant of the White House,
they viii find their mistake when il
Is too late to retreat.

II New Railroad Through The
Indian Territory.
From Arkansas Gazette q February 4
among The bills which have been
introduced il congress during the
present session II ono BIZ Senator
Berry in tho Senate and by Repre-
sentative Breckenridge Ia the house,
to grant To the Kansas and Arkan
sas Valley Railway right of way
through the Indian Territory. This
company Ii an Arkansas corporation,
recently organized by parties largely
interested In the Arkansas and Mis-
sissippi Valley routes for the pur-
pose Of building line Of railway
from Van Buren, where 1t will CON
meet With the Little Rock and Fort
Smith Railroad, to Arkansas City,
near the southern boundary line 81
Kansas, distance OF about 245
miles, with branch line about rs
miles long running up the fertile
valley Of the Verdigris river TO the
southern boundary line OF Kansas a
CctIeyville--thus tapping the mos,
productive sections OF that wonder
| fully fertile state at two most impor.
tant points, bringing the Arkansas
and Mississippi valley system Of
railways in direct connection and BY
the shortest route with the Kansas
system, and in fact with the various
systems of the far western and Pa
clfic states and territories.
1t is well nigh impossible to form
| any Just estimate of the immense
benefits which must inevitably flow
not only to the people Of this state
but to almost the entire south, from
the completion of this projected line
| of railroad. At the present time
nearly all the product Of the south
| ern counties Of Kansas, universally
conceded to be among the most fer
tile In that state, is fret carried eth.
er to Kansas City or st. Louis before
Lii is distributed throughout the
south, or reach sea port. But with
this line Of railroad established tie
shortest and most direct outlet is at
once opened not merely for the do
nestle consumption OF the south
through such distributing ccntcrs az
Little Rock, Pine Bluff, Vicksburg,
jackson, Birmingham, Atlanta and
an almost indefinite number Of other
important inland cities. but for for
eign consumption through the gull
ports OF New Orleans, Mobile and
Pen sacola, as well as those Of the
South Atlantic states. A new and
easily accessible market will thus be
opened for the lumber OF Arkansas
and the south, while sugars, molass-
es, salt and all heavy groceries, as
we'll as dry goods, can more easily,
quickly and cheaply be transported
from New York via steamers to New
Orleans and thence to their several
points OF distribution in Mississippi,
Arkansas, the Indian Territory, Kan
sas, Colorado and New Mexico.
The bill now before congress gives
the railroad company the option to
build either through Fort Smith Oh
on the bank Of the river directly op.

To the q. A. II. veterans.

The large number of Grand Army Of
the Republic members that were in Los
Angeles a few days before the grand
meeting, were quite disappointed to
find out that ali the Anheuser- Busch
beer in this city had been drank up.
The weather was very warm at that
time, and az the demand was greater
than the supply, all of this favorite beer
became honest, much to the dssatisfac-
ton Of the Grand Army men, who were
disappointed at not finding any of this
favorite beverage in any of the first
class saloons. Anticipating another raid
by the visiting Grand Army men to-
morrow, Messrs. Bauer & Gollmer, the
sole agents of the beer at So North
Spring street, have laid in an unusually
large amount of beer, and have also
seen that all the first-class saloons are
we'll supplied. The enormous consump-
ton of this beer all over the world
proves that it is the peoples choice.
