Light is Breaking Through.

The action of the Commercial Press in
making so considerable a reduction in
press charges followed by the notice of
Messrs Lehman, Stern & Co.. that they
will make a reduction of Is cents per
bale in factorage charges, are events Of
vast Importance to the cotton commerce
of New Orleans.
The forward movement has begun.
The city breathes anew with hope and
expectation. Other branches Of the cot
ton industry must hasten to share in the
honor as they will in the profit of re-
tanning the trade which was so rapidly
slipping away. 1t is not wise to depend
on the various cotton interests moving
independently and separately in making
the necessary reductions. There are
some human beings who will always
hang back. 1t would be best as has
been proposed, to have committees from
the various orders appointed at once to
discuss and advise on the situation and
to make recommendation to what figures
the charges should be lowered. The COM
mittee would of course have no power
to enforce its decision, but public opinion
and competition would enforce it.
Some men who share in the profits
freely admit that such charges as Is
cents drayage when Is cents is paid and
80 cents penalty not COMPRISING are
robbery-that was the word used. They
excuse their participation by saying 1t
would cause trouble were they not to
follow the custom; and besides they own
to what is called a natural desire to
make money. The profit on drayage is
the extortiOn most bitterly complained
by foreign buyers in New Orleans. Pay
ing a high price for a thing may be
borne, but it is against human nature to
be beaten out Of ten cents and to take
it quietly.
That very considerable reduction can
be made is shown by the figures given
by the owners of the Commercial Press.
While this reduction of 40 cents a bale
will amount to $4,000 on the 100000
bales that press expects to handle they
state that there is fair profit left, with
labor at union rates. If such a large
sum can be saved to shippers on the re-
ceipts Of one press alone the amount
would be enormous if all the presses and
all the cotton interests were to make q
similar reduction Of charges. 1t is said
that q difference Of one-sixteenth Of q
cent in its favor will influence cotton
to any port. Let the charges be reduced
sufficiently and let the world know it
and our wharves and warehouses will
once more be crowded with the f1eecy

A QUEER NOMINATION.

The Democrats nominated
Adams FOR Governor and made an
exceedingly bad choice, but not
one that is absolutely absurd, for
with bis dense ignorance and by
pecracy he unites a certain cunning
which enables him to deceive a
great many people and he has an
actual fighting strength, but, their
man Bell, for Lieutenant Governor
however they had no one else
who would accept it. 1t is funny
though, and probably annoying to
the gentlemen who, for lack OF ma
terial, were obliged to nominate
him.-Walker Lake Bulletin.

a ROBUST AMERICAN.

If there is enc thing that every
lover Of his country ought to ernest.
IL admire 10 this age of servility to
English customs. European manu-
facture and old world scenery, it is
a true American who admirers his
own country above every other
patch of ground on earth.
Joaquin Miller who has recently
taker editorial charge of the Col
den Era has made a great i'm
provement in the periodical. dis
Great Steel Belt of the States
tells Of the circle of railway con-
nection now being completed
around the United States 80 that
one can leave New York, travel
up to the Canadian line from thence
TO Washington Territory, down tn e
Pacific Coast to Southern Califor-
mia, then to New Orleans and up
the Atlantic Seaboard to New
York. Over this magnificent route
he urges that the observing travel
ers can learn more Of the world
than by taking the sterotyped tour
of Europe.
He writes in a most robust and
verile vein of the superiority OF the
American Continent and its vast
belongings, over the rest Of the
earth. and proves it in a most con
elusive manner,
All of US could take good lesson
in Americanism from Miller, but
we don't do it. Every man who
makes his pile Of money in Amer
ica hustles himself and family over
to Europe to travel and scatter his
cash to the leeches who suck their
sustenance from the idiot spend
thrifts that American soil produces
so abundantly. The men who find
greater enjoyment in the smoky
confines Of London, than Yellow
stone Park or the Great Canyon OF
the Colorado or Yosemite, is not an
American in the full sense Of the
word and never will be.
There is nothing that we wear
eat or drink that cannot be pGr-
chased here, yet we usually pay
cut millions Of dollars for the ben,
eft of France and England for ar
tic:es which can be made right at
our doors. We continually parade
10 the world that we consider Amer
lea a failure and are being continu-
ally laughed at for SO doing.
We hope that Joaquin Miller
will continue to preach his doctrine

WICHITA RAILROADS.
Her transportation Facilities ana the
Future Railway Center of Kansas


Future Railway Center of Kansas
Wichita is the railroad town Of Kansas.
This is true Of the city now, and ii will bg
more markedly true in the near future.
Her railway facilities for reaching the mar
kets Of the east. by closely competitive
trunk lines, are not approached by any
other city west of the Missouri river, III
this state; while the projections Of these
lines, and of branches from and beyond,
into the territory whose trade is tributary
10 this market, are more numerous than
are enjoyed by any other town or city
in the state.
The city is already reached by all three
of the great trunk lines which are contend
ing for the traffic woSt of the Missouri river,
viz. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe,
the ST. Louis and San Francisco and the
Missouri Pacific systems. BY train or by
carload lots. the iobberS and whole
sslers of this city already practically. secure
the same rates for incoming freights ac-
corded to the competitive or Missouri river
pooling points. OF course, being the only
city in the state enjoying the competition
of these three great trunk lineS-for these
three systems come together at no other
point in this state.-the facilities for ship
ping livestock and grain to the eastern
markets are equally favorable, Each of
these systems reaches out with branches
from this point into the territory directly
tributary to it; the Santa Fe with lines to
two different points on the line of the In
dian Territory: the ST. Louis and San
Harvey county. and the Missouri Pacific
with two lines-one reaching to Anthony
to the southwest and the other reaching TO
Haven and Hutchinson to the northwest.
In addition to the above feeders which
radiate from this point, is the Wichita
and Western. built and oper-
ated jointly by the Santa Fe
and the 81 Louis and San Francisco
which line now reaches to kingman, fifty
miles directly west. and is now being rapidly
pushed to and through Pratt county The
Anthony branch is now under contract to
be extended to kiowa on the border of the
Territory, and the Hutchinson branch. or
what is known rs the Eagle Line. is to be
extended to connection with the Salins

BOOMS AND TAPE WORMS.

forty seven taoeworrns from her citizens.
And yet these same people have been try
