RAILROAD POOLS,

One Of the principal reasons for the
railroad agitation is the enormous
freight rates. These rates are brought
about and maintained by pooling sys-
tenn between the railroads entering this
territory, and denOmlnated the "South-
western Railroad Pool" II this pool
can be broken into by bringing rail-
roads into the state around instead of
through Kansas City, then the people of
Kansas should be willing to extend aid
to the enterprises. To show how the
pool works, and the feeling Kansas
City business man entertains on the sub
ject, read the following interview pub
lished In the Kansas City Star:
Instead of booming real estate and
boasting about i:s clearings," said bus.

ATcHIsoN, Jan. 11-Judge David
Martin this morning denied a supple
mentary motion for new trial in the
Baldwin murder case, aud sentenced
VIM. J. Baldwin othe extreme penalty
of the law. Baldwin, when asked If he
had anything to cay why judgment
should not be passed upon him, said
that he was innocent of the
murder and that his innocence
would some day come out. He
SAID there is SOMEBODY on the face of the
earth who could and who would some
day declare his innocence and reveal the
Identity of the murderer. He denounced
the Justice administered in Atchison
county, and thanked God that there is 8
supreme court for him TO go to. He
declared that he had offered rewards and
taken other steps to discover the real
murderer, but had been hIndered in q
conscientious duty to lay bare the cir
cumstances of the crime.

1t will be remembered that the Re.
publican success in the Ohio electioA
hinged upon the result of Hamilton
county, the county in which Cincinnati
is Situated, aud where the members OF
the legislature are voted as a whole,
and not in districts or wards. The con-
test was so close that If Hamilton county
went Democratic, the legislature could
elect Democrat to the United States
senate. If 1t weut Republican, then the
Republicans would have victory.
After the election, the returns showed
that the Democrats had bare majority
OF few hundreds, claimed by the Re
publicans 70 have been secured by fraud.
The Democrats made counter charges
OF fraud, and the settlement of the mat
ter went to the supreme court of the
state OF Ohio. The court after a proper
inquiry. ordered the returns made out
and certificates issued to the Democratic
candidates.
II was taken for granted that this set
lied the matter, but the contest was car
RED to the legislature. which is the
judge Of the qualifications of Its own
members. and the committee on PRIV
leges and election reported q resolution
uuseatlrG the Democrats from Hamilton
county. The resolution was adopted
under the previous question, and the
seats were then declared vacant. The
Republican candidates then came for
ward and we're sworn In.
As the election of q United States
senator probably occurred to-day, John
Sherman, according TO the program.
would be elected.
There Is an old saying: "Act IN haste
