THE KANSAS CITY TIMES.
From the Odessa Democrat

The Kansas City Times, by the course
II pursued in the late congressional COLI
test, has furnished a striking example
of treachery that will be remembered
for many years in this state. Not one
democratic paper in the state has de-
tended its course. On the contrary all
of them, without exception, have con-
demned the Times.
The nearest thing to a defense of the
Times we find in the St. Joseph Ca
zette OF Nov. 16, but it winds up with
. condemnation. We quote u few par
agraphs of the Gazette's article:
1.-THE Times is too good a newspaper
to suffer seriously in the estimation Of
the general public on account of its re-
cratic congressional nominee, while
renegade democrats assisted the re.
publican candidate to cave in his UNI
bilical regions"
BY the above the Gazette attempts to
excuse the Times for what individuals
here and there did. In the above reas
oning the Gazette commits the serious
error of placing a paper that had tens
of thousands of readers on a par with
z the isolated voter who had no means of
reaching the public. 1t won't do. 1t
will not begin to do.
Further on the Gazette says? s.The
newspaper business is no longer con-
trollable by politicians" 1.-The daily
paper is sold On it's merits as are other
articles of necessity" Precisely! But
what merit has a newspaper that nc
reliance can be placed on? Says the
Gazette:

MRS. OLEVELAND's -INDEFINABLE
CHARM.
From the Boston Post.

Decidedly, the presidents wife made
a most agreeable impression in Cam-
bridge. Or course every one expected
to see a pretty woman, but most people
were taken by storm by what is hard
10 de~scribe-the indefinable charm OF
sweet Inconsistencies and the grateful
simplicity of her bearing. Little kind
~ ways denote "a heart at leisure
from ITSELF aud it was pleasant to see
at Mrs. Eliot's reception the evident
sympathy of some of the most attrac-
tive of the young married women for
their fair guest of a day. AS they
were grouped about her in instructive
good fellowship, Emmerson's ''best at
tire of beauty" come to ones mind. Tht
unanimous verdict of young and ole
| seems to be that Mrs. Cleveland is q
very charming wOmau.

OUR COAL FIELDS.
rFrom the St. Joseph Gazette.

jill Nv Sts OSTNfN
Instead of making a double track OF
the Missouri Pacific railroad Jay Gould
will build another line of road up the
south bank of the Missouri river to
Kansas City via of Marion, Sandy
| Hook, Boonville. Arrow Rock and
Lexington. This line a be built
cheaply. The grade will be the same as
tue Missouri river, and all of the
through freight east and west will be
shipped over this lire. This line will
| also run along n of the best coal
regions in the state.-JeffersOn City
State Times.
In q recent combination entered into
by the railroad contemporaries to ar
bitrarily advance the price of coal, the
people of Missouri have at this time
before their eyes a solemn admonition
10 protect the coal fields of the state
against absorption by the railroad COM
panies. While no railroad legally
engage in coal mining, it is well known
that in all parts of the country the coal
mine is rapidly becoming practically an
integral part of the railroad. Owned
by inside corporations, and managed
by the owners of railroads, the coal
mines, while chartered as distinctcorpor-
ations, are really a part of the railroad
corporations. They are Incorporated
separately, not because they are inde-
pendent, but because it would be un-
lawful to place the ownership of mines
in the railroads. But they have in fact
10 individual existence. Their indie
pendence is a fiction.
How far legislation can stay further
mischief in this direction we are not
prepared to say. OF n thing. how
ever, there can be no doubt, the rates
of transportation of coal can be made
the especial subject of attention. Let
our law-makers lose no time in clip
ping the wings of coal mon
opolIsts in Missouri. When Jay Gould
talks about building a railroad through
our coal-ields, instead of the event
furnishing a hope Of a better and
cheaper fuel supply, it is calculated to
send a chill of apprehension down the
back of every citizen of the state.
