Labor is so scarce in Colorado that
railroad construction is impeded. The
Denver and Rio Grande railroad is the
greatest sufferer, rs work on three
branches and a great tunnel is almost
at standstill. From 5000 to 5000
men could be profitably employed.

If we must have more steam rail-
roads, and this is admittedly true, in
what direction shall we turn for our
best outlet? Two directions seem
pointedly to call our attention north
west and southeast-northwest to the
granite, iron and coal mines and
southeast to the gulf. Both outlets
are absolutely essential to our rapid
and best growth as commercial and
manufacturing city. The sooner we
reach out in both directions, Ger
tainly the better.

CONGRESSIONAL MANNERS.

Comparing the present congress
with the congress before the war 1t
appears like dive alongside an ele-
CANT parlor. Language has of late
been used on the floor of congress
and its committees that would disgust
the jewellers in the slums OF New York
or Philadelphia.
Take the case OF Cannon OF Illinois.
While the galleries were filled with
refined ladies, wives of his brother
congressman, he used language which
would have caused him to be kicked
out any self-respecting private resi-
dence. The billingsgate of this old
toughened hide was as insulting to
the house and the people of the United
States themselves as to the ladies in
the gallery.
Again, the language used to Mr..
Cooper of Indiana, good Democrat,
by Flick OF Iowa, a good Republican,
would have disgraced common de-
cency anywhere.
These may be called small incidents,
soon to be forgotten, but they show
the decadence of honor and morals as
we'll as of oratory and intellect in our
congress, which has becomea cesspool
Of very much that is mercenary and
aDominable in the United States. Web
ster, Clay, Calhoun, Hayne and Ben
ton in their day would have scorned
and loathed such fellows, celebrated
for nothing but their billingsgate, who
have recently disgraced the house,
themselves and the country.

KANSAS RAILROADS.

Mcpherson Republican: Railroad
companies are coming to their senses.
Instead of building two tracks between
here and Hutchinson and thus having
to pay interest on two investments
which must eventually come out of the
people, the Rock Island and Union Pa
c1fc have made an amicabls arrange
ment and use the same track.
An Atchison dispatch: The Missouri
Pacific is handling corn through Atchi-
son by the train load. - A number of
extra crews have been employed for
three weeks to meet the demand, and
every available car has been pressed in
into service. On the Central Branch
division the company is $50 cars short
and will be 500 short Saturday night.
A like condition exists on the Nebraska
division. Here in Atchison all the
elevators are full. Dealers say it is
the most remarkable rush ever known.

CAPITAL NOTES.

The largest stone placed in the CAPT
toll building -proba6ly the largest ever
put in any building in the state, it is the
base of one of the pillars of the main
arch, and weighs 10000 pounds. The
four horse power electric motor was not
powerful enough to raise the stone. and
it had to be put up by hand power, re-
curing fifteen men to draw it up by
windlass power.
A good vein of coal about fourteen
inches thick on the G. J. Rosen farm,
about one and one-half miles west OF
the sugar mills, is now in operation.
The operator and lessee of the mine is
A. 3. Hulett, who has been pros
pecting in that locality for about year.
Some of the coal has been used by
several Rock Island engineers, all OF
whom pronounce it first class.
A large number of dentists from vari-
GUS parts of the state gathered to
attend the Nineteenth Annual meeting
of the Kansas State Dental association.
After a meeting of the executive COM
mittee, the association convened for a
business session. Several new members
were elected, and the president o. the
association, DR.. II. w. Parsons, of Wa
mego, read his address. DR.. Schriver,
of Red Oak, Ia, DR.. W. n. Morrison, OF
st. Louis, and DR.. Southworth, of Sac
ramento, Cal, were elected honorary
members.
Kansas City Star: Nathan Har-
vey, Of Topeka, has in his possession his
wedding suit, which was made at Rich
mond, Ind, in 1881, in shop in which

KANSAS CHURCHES.

Ellsworth Herald: The new Presby-
terrain parsonage is about completed
and will soon be occupied. The prob
able cost of parsonage about $1,000.
Mcpherson Republican: A Sabbath
School has deem organized at the Swe-
dish Mission church on East Euclid
street, with Rev. J. F. Hill as superin-
tendent and Father Shaw as assistant.
There were five classes organized and
teachers will be appointed next Sab
bath. This is not a sectarian school
but is organized for the poor children
who do not attend elsewhere. The
school opens with fattering prospects
and the two veterans that have it in
charge will make it success.
Beloit correspondence: 1t is rumor-
ed there is trouble in the Beloit Metho-
dist church. A few OF the members, it
is claimed, are against their pastor,
Rev. J. l.. King, because he is little
more active in trying to enforce the
rules of his church. There are few
members, however, who think he ought
to be little more lenlent; that is, not
be so severe on those who would enjoy a
social dance, attend circus, or theatre,
or play pastime game of cards. For
this, it is said, they are trying to bounce
him. Elder King is faithful, popular
pastor, learned scholar, and the ma
jority of his congregation want to see
him retained. He is doing excellent
and hard work in Beloit.
