THE A., r. g. s. r. RAILWAYS co NJ
PANX.

Although we have said nothing
about the meeting of the stockholders
of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
railroad, more than the announce
ment of the fact, yet it is the most i'm
portant one ever held by that body.
These stockholders have been coming
to Topeka every year in the months
of April and May for many, many
years to carry out the programme
agreed upon at the Office in Boston.
1t is, we believe, an open secret, that
all matters agreed upon before COM
ing to Topeka, and it is not often that
the plans, there fixed up are changed.
We well remember, when, few men
would come on and hold meetings in
the parlors of the Fifth Avenue hotel.
We used to think and say that the
meetings there held were important,
but how slight that importance was as
compared with the meeting yesterday
is evident to all.
From the items of news published
from time to time during the past few
months it has become known that this
great company has determined to have
an independent line not only to the
Pacific coast, but TO the Gulf OF Mex
leo. 1t has secured the control Of the
Colorado and Santa Fe road, which is
now in operation from Galveston and
Fort Worth, and without knowing
ANYTHING about il we are safe in say
ing that the stockholders yesterday
perfected the plan to build from the
southern boundary OF the state
through the Indian territory TO Fort
Worth, there TO meet its other roads.
Our readers know what is on the
trestle board, as to binding extensions
in this state in the near future, and 1t
is unnecessary TO repeat the
statements here. We do not know,
but hope that it was decided yester-
day to build from Topeka to Council
Grove. a large amount of money has
been expended on the road, truck
bridges, etc and We hear that 1t is for
sale cheap. That rogd, if built and
extended to meet the Mcpherson
branch at some favorable point, would
make a great saving in distance and
probably become the main line. But
we did not start out to give advice, or
to elaborate on the wonderful energy
that has been displayed by our eastern
friends in building up this great sys-
tenn. 1t is enough to say that the
people of Topeka have always looked
upon it as their pet, does now and will
continue to do so as long as it shows
the friendly disposition towards us
that it always has.-CommOnwealth.

which divide the switches on the key board,
inas,nuch as the plug, or key" is COM
paratively unimportant part of the niachin-
cry. Printers designate an unskilled type
setter shoemaker or blacksmith. The
derivation of the former appellation is from
tine fact that cornpo>itor who makes err
rors is obliged to corret them after the
type is set up by taking out the misplaced
letters and 'peggingT the proper ones into
their places. Taiiors also use the word
shoemaker to distinguish poor hand, Us
an unskillei workman taxes his stitches too
TOO far apart, and is therefore better
adapted to sew leather, where he can punch
the holes with an awl before putting his
needle through
The appellation blacksmith" is applied to
a printer whose fingers are clumsy, and a
jeweler also terms an unskillei worker at
his trade BLACKSMITH for the same reason
\ term of oppro5rium which was used by
old New York printers TO designate an I'M
skilled compositor, was the word "boarder. ,
from the fact that poor hand was gener
ally a drinking man and spent his time
loafing or boarding in liquor saloons All
striking trades workers in common use the
generic word -scab@ TO designate workmep
who take the place Of strikers The deriva-
tion is obviously from the fact that the scab
is a morbid growth, and lives only at the
expense Of the weil-being Of the rest of the
body. Shakespeare uses the word scsb as
term OF opprobium, and Webster defines
scab mean, dirty, paltry fellow, which
may have suggested the original application
of the word TO its present Use.
The printers and te.eyraphers, two OF the
most intelligent class Of workmen, are the
only tradssmen who have invented names TO

professions Thus. compositors call scab

THE HUTCHINSON BAzoo.
The Fools and Railway Magnates OF
Wichita.

1t is not at all strange that the rail-
road msgnstes of our sister city knew
nothing of the fact that the Wichita 4
Colorado road viii be extended here.
In fact when our delegation, which
was in New York nearly a week con-
sulting JAY Gould and secured an i'm
mediate completion of that road 10
this city, never once heard the afore-
said magnates mentioned-Hutchin
son News.
All of which is very, very strangely
not TO say startling. Perhaps, after
all, there is no such road running out
from Wichita as the Eagle Line. If
tbere is not. what is Hutchinson fish
ing FOR? II there is such a line, and if i!
was constructed in pursuance of 8
contract with company known as
the Wichita aud Colorado railway
company is ii likely that the
company is unknown or that it would
not have 10 be consulted as to its
line? In other words, arc we fools:
Admitting that we are, how many
railroads has Hutchinson ever built,
and what are they and who al G the
magnates that built tleIa:
Our map, while it is not the latest
edition, shows only cue line of rail-
road as ever having been constructed
to Hutchinson, and that one only by
the way of Hutchinson, and if our
memory plays us not false the mag
mates OF that city did not build that
one.
Some people are addicted TO the fash
ion of hurrahing before they get out
of the woods but il amt a proceeding
to be commended.
The only question that has ever
been discussed By the company, or by
the men in New York, is the question
as to whether Hutchinson should have
the main line, plug, or neither, and
that question isn't settled yet, "our
committee" and Jay Gould TO the con-
trarv Notwithstanding.
While it is hardly possible that Mr..
Gould and his management don't
know the men who have projected
and built the Wichita and Colorado
railroad il may just be possible that
the men who hold the deciding voice
in that line, don't know the Hutchin-
son delegation, and, what's more,
possibly don't want to know them.
We could tell the man who went of
half-cocked above, great deal more,
but we guess this will suffice, adding
only that probably the Beacon did not
know nor was it essential that it
should know the inside affairs of the
Eagle Line.
