be sure, it will; but il will no. be one

every two years 10 amend and make
tho present constitution more bung-

The Westmoreland Recorder, in its
issue of the 14th inst, discusses the
question of constitutional conven-
ton, and urges The present legislature
to make such provisions. 1t says:
Ii seems almost like sacrilege. upon
the eve of quarter century celebra-
ton of Kansas regime under the old
constitution, to open up the question
of a new constitution. But the old
one which has SO nobly served its pur-
pose for the past twenty-five years is
inadequate for a state of 1.000, 900 peo-
pie. If new one is not framed, the
discussion and dissertion brought on
by constantly amending the old one,
will cause greater disruption of
parties and sectional strife, than it

ton and have the matter settled. A
great part of the opposition TO a new
constitution comes from parties and
individuals who are afraid that some
of their pet provisions will be left out
or put in as the case may be. A more
liberal view should be taken of the
matter and the present legislature
instructed to call 4 convention at

RAILROAD RUMOR.

The Chicago Times, of Saturday,
published rumor which had reached
Chicago concerning the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe which is as fol-
lows.
II the news received here is at all
reliable the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe secured another most important
conc ssion on the Pacific coast. The
impression has been aboard for some
time that the Santa Fe and Southern
Pacific were adjusted settlement of
their interests III order to obtain peace
and tariff maintenance and those who
anticipated war consequent on the
Santa FEES invasion of South California
will be disappointed. 1t is reported
on good authority that last week an
agreement had been signed by the ex-
ecuiive officials of the Southern Pa
cific road and President w. b. Strong,
of the Santa Fe, whereby the Atchison
gets joint control of the Southern Pa
cific from Cotton to San Francisco.
The Santa Fe is to pay thlrty-five per
cent of the cost of maintenance and re-
ceive Ike share of the earnings of
the road, while the Southern Pacific

pay like share towards operating ey-
penses. There are some details upon
which the legal advisors of both COM

agreement as outlined If fully

THE CHICAGO g. ROCK ISLAND.
President Gable and M. A. Low at
AtChiSon.

Two weeks ago the EAGLE pub
lished charter taken out by the Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad
company, taken out for railroad
from Larken, Atchison county, to
Wichita, together with other matter
from the Atchison Champion and To-
peka Capital, which articles claimed 10
cover TIE Diet sIls of the proposed ex-
tension. The matter seems to be
taking shape under the immediate
supervision of the president of that
road. The Champion of Tuesday con-
tains the following.
President Il. Il. Cable and General
Attorney NJ. A. Low, of the Rock
Island, were in the city a couple of
hours yesterday afternoon, in con-
sultation with II. a. Parker, the chief
engineer of the company; City En-
gineer Giddings; and DIR. w. w.
Cochrane, j. 2. Pomeroy, William +.
Dolan and John II. Price, of the Atch-
ison and Southwestern directory.
about the proposed Kansas extension.
The survey recently made by Mr.. Gid
dings through the city was submitted
and approved, after which there was
a general discussion of the probable
cost Of getting into and through
town.
The survey starts from the bridge
and runs south of the Santa Fe track,
taking off one end of the old Mis-
souri, Pacific freight depot At Fourth
street the line defects a little to the
south and enters what is known as
''block "a" Striking Utah avenue, il
runs along the north line of that thor
oughfare to White Clay creek, where
it veers little to the south again and
hugs the south bank of the creek until
Park street is reached, which is fol-
lowed TO the city limits. Of course
this will necessitate the condemnation
of some valuable property, and the
railroad officials are interested in
knowing what price the owners pro-
pose to ask for it.If the hog plan is
adopted. the enterprise, as far as
Atchison is concerned will be ADAM
doned. If fair and reasonable figures
are asked, the road may be regarded
as sure thing.
