OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

VICTORIA, B. c., March 23.-There is a
bill before the legislature for an incorpora-
ton of the West Transcontinental
railroad, which is nothing less than an
other transcontinental line; or rather, the
first and most important link in the second
through Canadian railway. The incor-
porators are local capitalists, but it is very
generally understood that Dunsmuir. the
coal king, is silent partner, and that
the Grand Trunk line, which, with con-
Meeting lines, is now in Manitoba. is also
In the background. The franchise asked
for is TO build a railroad from the
eastern boundary of the province by
way OF Tate Jaunce Cache, Cariboo, Chill
cotln and Butte inlet, across Seymour
Narrows and thence TO the northers ter
minus Of the Esquimalt 4 Navaimo rail-
way, from the eastern boundary to Win
nipeg. The line is TO be chartered bv the
dominion government and Will be bnilt
over the proposed route, which was orig
inally selected for the Canadian Pacific
although further TO the north than the
line finally adopted 1t is generally ad-
mitted TO be the least expensive and best
in many ways. The capital of the com
pany is fixed at S50,000,00 with power TO
increase. The project is one of vast i'm
portanee TO Victoria and its consumma-
ton is claimed to be only question of
years.

Fattening SInYcs to Klll.

Fattcning slaves in parlS and feeding
them up like animals destined for the
table, and then leading them to shaInbles
where they are slaughtered like oxen,
cut into pieces and shared bit by bit
among hungry cannibals- is tho
practice which is permitted, according to
NJ. FOndesc, Il French explorer, in some
of the French, Belgian, Portuguese and
even British territories in Ubanghi NJ.
Fondcsc was sent out three years ago by
the French Government TO discover the
sources of the Niariguillon, and having
returned after the successful accomplish
mcnt Of his task, he hastcns to tell his
conntrymen all about tho terrible things
which he has seen in his travels.
The "lattcning parks" or paddocks
arc, he says, to be seen in each village,
and contain men and women who have
been taken in war. The poor wretchcs
take their doom philosophically, and
some OF them to whom NJ. Fondcsc offered
freedom actually refused it. They eat,
drink, dance and sing until the head
"Fctishman" comes round, accompanied
by an orchestra of tom-tom and tn-kcttle
players, selects sufficiently fat specimen,
carries him or her TO the market place OF
the village, and splits his or her head with
hatchet or scythc-likc knife. The eyes
and tongue OF the victim are given to the
"boss" fetish and the rest of the body
is divided among the anthropophagi.-

clearings will above the million dollar

hundred thousand dollars daily. Last
week shows still another increase of
fourteen and six-tenths per cent

mean time some of the cities of Kansas,
whose papers are pluming them on the
supposition that they are as great as
Wichita, and in some sense rival it, are
INVITED to give to the world their gross
bank clearings, the only standard by
which the business of any city can be
approximately measured and its relative
importance determined.

rivers to flow made them to flow this
way. The Kansas idea reinforced this
wonderful plan of the Almighty by
building railroads to bring the great
Arkansas and Neosho valleys across the
hills to this point rather than endure the
results of the horrid topography which
floats those regions through the point
less and meaningless state of Arkansaw.
Small centers may be common, but
great centers are few. The Almighty
and the Kansas idea is a combination
that cannot be beat. and this may be
why an Arkansas valley banker, specu-
lator and politician of fame, and a To-
peka lawyer of prominence, each told US
within few weeks. that the man lives
today who will see Kansas City, Kan,
extending ten miles up the Kaw valley.
This is what the Gazette shall scream
for, and hence we are cranks with a
common purpose, except that the Gazette
has abandoned the old chestnut Of scat
teration-that in an agricultural country
more people can live in the towns than
live on the farm. II Kansas IS To have
a great metropolis it must he at the
Kaw's mouth. With the tenderest and
most distinguished Difference we say
that Wichita can never fill the bill.
She is SO located that four-fifths OF
the state cannot reach her. and they
wouldn't if they could, because she Is
not in the right direction. Kansas is an
empire, but She will never be able. and
1t is contrary TO the rules TO maintain a
metropolis every twenty miles. Enough
money and years OF effort have been
wasted IN Kansas 10 thoroughly prove
the idea q chestnut.
We are a Kansas crank from away
back, and we think it very happy idea
that all who enter the chosen laad must
DO so through the most astonishing in
land city Of the continent. But this can
not be unless the whole state blooms.
and the ''old crank assures the new
crank at Wichita that the chief end Of
life down here is 10 pull for Kansas,
whose metropolis must be brought on
this side Of the state hne-and its name
Is Kansas CITY, Kansas.

General Wanamaker, fortunately, has
the cinch on the telegraph companies in
the matter of fixing the rate of charges
for service performed by them for the
government. He not only has the power
to fix the rate, but also the authority to
enforce his order. The companies must
accept whatever he offers whether it will
afford profit or entail loss. To exer-
else this perogative arbitrarily so as to
divest the service so performed of any
profit would seem to be hardship, but
when we come to think of the privileges
accorded them by the government, it is
but a reasonable quid pro quo.

General Palmer, of Illinois, suggests a
reform in the nomination of senators Of
the United States. 1t is this: That
political parties shall nominate their
candidates for the senate and so before
the people with their platforms and can
didates." Whatever may be said in OPP
position to the suggested plan-and it
cannot be claimed that it would have a
different result, politically, than the
present one, for the party that could
elect senator by direct vote could elect
a majority of the legislative assembly
which in turn would elect one of its own
faith as sanator-it would stop the scan
dals that have gotten 10 be unavoid-
able incidents in connection with sena-
torial contests before state legislatures.
Ii is lamentable fact that election of
United States senators under the present
mode is more frequently contingent
upon the size of the applicants bank ac-
count than his mental and moral worth.
The demand for some sort of change
either in the manner of electing senators
or in the abolition of the senate alto
gether-is growing IN every direction.
