POOROLD MISSOURI.

Missouri boasts of two cities, one OF
which depends on Illinois and the other
upon Kansas for support-one upon her
eastern border looking to the east, the other
upon her western border looking to the
west, for sustenance. and both ignoring the
state which owns, taxes and governs them.
The wctsern octopus has been holding a
state fair for Kansas the past week and it
has been great success, financially speak
lug, for the pockets of the Missourians; the
other has been holding an exposition of
the products of Illinois with equally salts
factory results to the Missouri pocket. All
this is very funny but il is true.

DID YOU EVER THINK OF 1T?
One OF the Secrets of Wichita's Growth an,
Why Her Destiny is Fixed.

Why Her Destiny is Fixed.
Wichita is a morning and evening city
There is no city Of importance in the
United States that is not morning and
evening city. Across this continent, from
east to west and from north to south. daily
go flying trains. Each particular train
goes from sun to sun. either starting in the
morning and stopping in the evenig or start
ing in the evening and stopping in the
morning. These trains meet other trains
which do the same thing. so they meet and
so they part-vibrating back and forth
night and day, from city to city, all over
this great broad land of ours No place
passed by these vibrating trains during the
middle of the day or the middle of the
night can ever become cities, that is
commercial centers. proper Did you ever
think of this? You may leave any great
commercial city in the United States any
day in the year for any other great com
mercial city, remote or neal. and YOU will
be compelled to start either in the morning
or in the evening but you will just as surely
arrive at your destination in the
morning or in the evening. Ii you leave
New York or Boston for any grea, western
city you will arrive at your destination in
the morning or in the evening. whether it
be for San Francisco for Chicago. for ST.
Louis. Cincinnati, Louisville. New Orleans
or for Pitssburg, or for Kansas City,
Omaha or Minneapolis. Even between
Boston and New York there is q days

ODIOUS COMPARISONS.
How Wichita has Swept Ahead OF the Windy
Wonder.

Wonder.
In sizing up the growth or magnitude,
or in giving publicity to some newlyhcquir-
ed excellence, it has become the fashion of
the papers of number of towns in the
west to conclude such blows with the OBJ
servation that mo town or city except Kan
sas City can equal this showingH This
gratuitous advertising has always been &C
cepted in a matter of fact spirit by the peo-
pie of Phil Armor's town and with no
other apparent effect than that of adding
wind to wind -bag-a little more stretch
ing and preceptible swelling.
So fan: AS Wichita is concerned we will be
compelled hereafter to hunt up some other
standard of comparison than that afforded
by our windy neighbor at the mouth of the
Kaw. A careful survey of the permanent
or better class of residences which have
been erected in Kansas City this year and
of those of the same class which have been
built in Wichita for the same period, we
are prepared to assert that more money has
been expended in 1886 in the erection of
fine residences in Wichita than there has
been expended in Kansas City in the samt
direction The truth is Wichita has built a
greater number of costly residences this
year than has Kansas City, and fewer cheap
ones. We are almost as well prepared to
say that leaving out of the count the new
big stone block now in course of construc-
ton at Kansas City, Wichita has also ex-
pended more money in the erection of bus
mess houses this season than has Kansas
City With the exception noted this is
true as to both the relative number and
cost of the business houses erected in the
twO cities.
There is no longer any use for Kansas
City or for anybody else to attempt to dis
guise the fact that Kansas after all as
state is bound to have great commercial
city within her borders, city compared to
which Kansas City and the metropolis of
today will sink into insignificance. 4 city
not only the result Of location, but the
proud exponent of the superiority of the
modern channels OF traffic over those of the
more tardy past.

FLOWERS.
When man was driven from Eden's bowers
Which blooming lay bsdecked with flowers
Beneath the smile OF God;
With weeping eyes and grief Of mind,
Those far sweet scenes he loft behind
And gloomy paths he trod.
Night soon came on, in grief he wept:
AT last from wearinesS hs slept,
And ere the morning broke,
Fair minister from EdenS skies
Transplanted flowers from Paradise
To cheer him when he woke.
In joy, or grief, or scenes Of death,
They greet US with their fragrant breath,
Their beauty charms our eyes;
They never inappropriate seem,
Heavens faireSG gift our hearts still deem
These sweet eXlIes from Paradise,
And when our loved ones fall asleep,
No more to sigh, no more to weep,
Before we lay them low:
With loving hands their couch we strew,
With fragrant flowers, white of hue -
The summers drifted snow.
And DER the portals of the tomb
All gemmed with dew fair flowers bloom
To mark mans last repOSe;
And through the ''GateS that stand ajar"
The sweet perfume is waited far
OF Sharon's blooming Rose.

In the case Of Clarence Venner, a Santa
Fe stockholder, versus the Santa Fe rail
way, the company recently scored a great
legal victory. The point at issue was Ven
ners endeavor to restrain that company
from exchanging its stock for the stock of
the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe railway.
The demurrer was filed on two grounds-a
lack of indefeasiblc parties and want of
equity. This second point involved the
real merit of the controversy. The case was
argued before Judge Brewer, and decis-
ion rendered for the defendant.

A BIG LET.

The Ell Dorado Republican announces
that the Santa Fe has let the contract for
constructing two hundred miles of road
from New kiowa southwest through the
Indian territory in the direction of Albu-
auerque, New Mexico. The grade does
not exceed thirty feet to the mile at any
point, and that the Mulvanc extension will
be used i'm connection with the new pro-
lection. That suits Wichita.

IDEAL JOURNALISM.

Henry Watterson's letter.
The ideal journalism must be independ-
ent of the political managers and the party
workers. TO be so independent he must
keep out of their company. He must be
independent of the advertisers To be 80
independent he must give them medium
of communication which they cannot dis
pense with. He must be Independent Of
money pressure. To be so independent he
must mind his own business exclusively, a
process which rarely fails to secure pecu-
mary independence, the root of every kind
of independence. Ten years of honest ef-
fort in these directions will establish him,
who makes it, in public credit, and that
alone is anV mans fortune

A Disputed Point.

There was lull in business at the
Custom House yesterday Several
local scientists we're engaged in a dis
cussion of the Solar System, Heat as a
source of Motion, the Darwinian The
DRY, and "sich." At length one scien-
fist in mentioning the name Calico
pronounced it with the accent on the
penult. A shout of derision stopped
him. "My dear friend" said phil
osopher of great weight "that word is
pronounced Calico" 81 hear what
you say, my illustrated contemporary"
retorted the first speaker. "But l beg
to inform you that Calico, native of
Calico, is pronounced Gal-e-le-o."
Everybody was appealed to to settle the
dispute, except Webster, who decides
in favor of the first speaker except as to
nativity. The discussion waxed warmer
and warmer. Planets, empires, king
doms, municipalities, meteors, suns, satel-
lites passed in kaleidoscope succession
before the mental view. Finally one
enthusiast burst out ooh, what is
man ?" MAN." said the. heavy weight
philosopher calmly and with the conf
dence of man who knows thoroughly
what be is talking about,-'Man is
gradually evolved from microscopic
spherule of unorganized protoplasm.

precipitate adjournment of all the sur
vivors.

Editor Daily Honolulu Press.
DEAR SIR. Suggestions being the
order of the day it may not be amiss
to suggest, that some labor-loving
book worm prepare an index of the
contents of works pertaining to Hawaii
1t is a remarkable commission in nearly
all such works issued, from Jarvis his
tory down to Duttons Hawaiian Vol
canoes, that table of contents is even
a rare accompaniment. 1t would prob
ably be hard to find an equal number
of works bearing on any one subject
so uniformly deficient on this point. 1t
is to be hoped that future writer's on
Hawaiian subjects and publishers will
see to this great aid to the value Of
their works,
