OUR BEAUTIFUL SISTER.

OF course that i,.'sfling town down
in the southwest ID the banks OF the
Kansas Nile, is no such place as To
peka, though a gem in the states dia-
dem. IL has not the advantages we
have and is not destined to be the
great typical town of this great state.
That belongs to the capital city, the
best and always to be the greatest and
loveliest of her sister cities. This leads
us to observe that the hest ccmpli-
mentthat is paid the Wichita EAGLE
is clothed by some envious Dewspa-
pers in the tone of an insinuatiOn
They say that the paper puffs Wichita
too much. We suppose the EAGLE
likes that sort of talk. We would, and
after a while we hope those same fel-
lows when they get to reading the
State Journal will turn up those iden-
tical noses, and say that this paper
says too many good things about To-
peka.-Daily Journal.
Those fellows who say that the
EAGLE saws too much for Wichita
simply air the fact that they are moi
posted in Wichita's doings. We have
vet to find man, woman or child
who don't believe that Wichita is al
that the EAGLE represents her to be
The sojourner of a week, even, vii
never fail of being constrained to say
that Wichita, as a fact, surpasses al
the EAGLES pictures. Of course. i
pleases, yea amuses, the average bust
ness man of this Thebes of Americ al
Nile, 10 know of other aspiring towns
of the state comparing their business
to that of Wichita. But smile end
it and the circumstance is forgotten
Topeka is, socially, a delightful littl'
city of which, as the capital of III
great commonwealth, we are proud
and so are all our people, but when j
comes down to business-well the re
ports of our Clearing House tells tn
tale in words and figures which can b
found in no dictionary and in no rea
estate dealers circular. AS the Journa
says, Topeka is a lovely sister, but sh
is only sister after all, lovely in tn,
ewes OF the robust Wichita, because
she is a sister and weak.
We have but one other thought nov
in connection with the EAGLES puff
ing Wichita, and that we will embodl
in the language of the lamented BosI
Tweed, TO our critics, "What are you
going TO do about it!'

RAILROADING IN THE INDIAN
TERRITORY.


Special Dlspstch 10 the Globe Democrat.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 4.-The
rush of railroad corporations with
bills for right of way through In
dian country has prompted Represen-
tative Allen, of Massachusetts,, to
draft q general measure to meet the
situation. This measure is called a
bill to authorize the construction and
operation of railroads through the
Indian Territory. 1t provides that
twenty-five or more persons who are
citizens of the United States, may
form q railroad corporation. Their
articles of corporation must set forth
the termini of the proposed road and
the reservations through which it ID
to run. The capital stock must be
not less than $4,000 per mile, if the
track is of the standard guage, 4 feet
8 IL inches, and not less than $4,000
per mile If the narrow guage of three
feet is chosen
The directors, of whom there must
be at least nine, shall prepare map OF
the proposed route showing the gen.
eral profile of the country, the bridges
and other features of the project. All
of this information must be laid before
the principal chiefs of the tribes or ma
tions whose lands are to be traversed,
and also before three commissioners,
who shall be the secretary of the in
terror, the commissioner of railroads
and the commissioner of Indian affairs
The commissioners shall have due no.
t;ce af the hearing upOn the aDDlica-
ton for this route. If the application
is approved the commissioners will
sign q certificate to the company con.
irming the route to the company
Sufficient money 10 insure payment
for property condemned and FOL
other damages must be raised before
any construction work is done. Besides
compensation for property taken the
company is required to pay bonus O
$50 for each mile of road built in thu
territory, and q tribute of SIS pei
annum for each mile of road built ant
operated. This money is to be pait
to the secretary of the interior, and II
be apportioned to the tribes according
to the location of the road. The com
pany is not allowed to charge NOR
than three cents a mile for passengers

must bind themselves that they vii

or extinguishing the present tenure o
