THERE ARE NoJoINTs THERE, Oh NO?

The Kansas City Gazette is one of the
papers that is continually calling for a
better enforcement Of the Murray law at
Wichita. To every suggestion made by
the EAGLE that Kansas City, Kansas,
has two joints to Wichita's one, the re-
frain ever comes, "enforce the law at
Wichita" Now the Gazette has a
'Kicker's column" in which lrepresen-
tative citizens are permitted to point out
known abuses. From this kicker's col
umn we clip the following, which
proves all that the EAGLE has ascribed.
The kicker thus advises Kansas City,
Kansas, authorities:
Now that the election is over and no
votes to be made or lost by either party.
would it not be well to close up the
joints. Close them tight; not pull them
once month or semi-occasionally, as
has been the case heretofore, but pull
them every day; pull them so often that
they can't give security for costs and
will have to go to Jail. 1t would be a
good idea for every officer having any,
thing to do with the enforcement of this
law to take their official oaths and paste
them in their hats.

The report that the Gulf extension of
the Rock Island would stop indefinitely
at Fort Reno is incorrect. The extern
sion is now more than 100 miles south Of
Fort Reno, and lacks about 100 miles of
connection with the Southern Pacific.
This distance of 1870 miles is being COW
cred as fast as large force OF men can
lay the rails and ties. The fact that
President Cable wished it understood
that no further extension would be made
beyond Fort Reno, is a corroborauve
circumstance showing something beyond
the mere wish to get to the gulf. Should
the Rock Island form an alliance with
the Southern Pacific, it will make line
TO San Francisco longer By about 800
miles than the short line from Chicago.
For passengers in hurry the line would
offer few inducements, but IN freight the
line could compete on almost even terms.
For southern California. Mexico and
Texas points the line would IN many
cases be the shortest route.-hansas

AN OUTLET TO THE GULF.
From the Salt Lake News.

From the Salt Lake News.
An agreement between the Union Pa
cific and the Denver & Fort Worth, has
been signed, and Utah and the other
western states and territories now nave
an outlet to the Gulf of Mexico. From
Lincoln, Nebraska, west it is nearer to
Galveston than 1T is to Chicago, and
when Chicago is reached you are still q
thousand miles from seaporc. The dis
lance from Galveston to the foreign
ports where our products find market,
is about the same as from New York.
The interstate law drives the Union
Pacific to the gulf, but it will eventually
rebound in a great benefit to all this
western country. The interstate law is
a modification of Senator Reagan's orig
inal prorata bill, that he labored with so
many years. This bill was one prohibit
ing railroad from carrying freight for
longer distance at lower rate than it
carried it for shorter distance; in effect
it abolished special rates of auy kind as
any keen analytical mind will perceive
by reflection, though this effect was al
ways denied by Reagan and the other
application of the main principle of the
"Doane law" proved that no special
rate could exist, and the clause had to
be struck out to save the jobbing trade.
The interstate laws provide that a
greater sum shall not be charged for a
shorter than for a longer distance when
the origin erIdestination as the freight is
the same and it is carried under the
same circumstances. This prevents I'M
1 I,,% -
the roads that have to compete with
water routes and Canadian lines that it
virtually compels traffic to seek for long
distance hauls the shortest practicable
route.
The business west of the Missouri must
therefore eventually be done with the
foreign markets by way of the Gulf of
Mexico on occount of the great shorten
ing OF the route TO the seaboard. The
Union Pacific, being isolated, having no
lines of its own to the lakes or to the sea.
is naturally the first to feel the need of
gulf connection and to make the initial
move. Other western roads will, how
ever follow suit, and ihe result will be
The building OF great port on the gulf,
either at Galveston or at the point on the
coast where the government shall ex-
cavate . deep water harbor.
There is little doubt that Reagan and
his colleagues from Texas had in mind
the forcing of the whole west to the gulf
when the advocated their pro rata bill in
congress. In the shape they put the
measure il would have been great
detriment to the northwest. The bill
that did pass will probably do no perma-
nenr injury to any section after the law
is well established and its machinery
working smoothly. In any event it will
eventually help the south and west By
putting them in near communication
with foreign markets.

THE THREE AMERICAS.

81 have not met single man of this
country during our trip, who protested
ideas contrary to enlarged means of
trade between u.s." So General Peroza,
delegate from Venezuela to the three
Americas congress, summed up his inn
preston of their tour of inspection.
No wonder that all of the delegates
cipal features of American genius. perse-
verance and prosperity exhibited in such
quick succession before their eyes. Their
most optomistic dreams have been more
than realized-they have taken their vast
object-lesson seriously to heart and now
stand ready to meet our government
more than halfway in the adoption of a
broad and liberal policy toward future
trade relations.
The first move in this direction must
undoubtedly be the establishment of far
better means of communication than
have previously existed. England's plan
of generous subsidies to steamship lines
must be adopted.
Under the enthusiasm of the hospital
tiles which have been so lavishlv show
cred upon them and their birds-eye view
of the most wonderful nation in history,
the South Americans express their faith
in the early completion of the grand
international railway that will be ''the
greatest of all railway projects and bind
the three Americas together as with
hooks OF STEEL" But in sober reflection,
this must wait the march of time
General Peroza is right in saying, 81
consider our excursion throughout an
important half of the United States as
preliminary session of the International
congress-" But some of our contempt
raries are wrong in assuming that the
practical success of the gathering is al
ready assured. Old traditions, the con-
servatism of timid men of all parties, re-
main as obstacles. When details come
to be discussed. scores of little vexatious
hindrances will crop out, as the result of
this long and wanton neglect.
Our trade with our South American
friends can be increased an hundred fold.
No one knows this better than our trans
Atlantic neighbors. But success is con-
ditional on bold liberal change of pol
icy. The best augury for the adoption of
that policy is the fact that the Republi-
can party-the party of progress, patriot
ism and financial skill-is again in
control of our national congress.
