Don't Shove the young Men Aside.

Senator Railey in the DEBORAH Republican
When am on this theme, permit me
to remark that there are other interests 10
be considered besides this one of the 'old
soldier" deserving as the latter may be
of prime Importance. A generation has
almost grown mp since the war closed.
The boys who we're in piDafOres when 1t
began are now on the stage OF action
as men; and they, too, are earning re-
cngnition. The older men ought to re-
alize this and not wait to be showed aside.
The political battles of the immediate
present. and certainly OF the future, mnst
be tonight by them. If they come to the
front and take the burden upOn them
selves it will not be possible to deny them
fair show 10 the hOuOrS al | EN- Ilu
ments flowing from victory. The error
Of age often is a failure TO realize that
the "boys" have become men and are en-
titled to all the privileges attaching to
manhood. If the elders do this with wis
dom and prudence there will be harmony,
and age itself will be heartily honored
and revered instead of being jOstled into
ObscuFity. Let rs remember the "yOung
Republicans" as we'll as ''the old soldiers.

Mirage on the Plains.

oI JOSepn OaZelt6
"Did yOu ever see mirage?" said the
bullwhacker. when 1 was chief clerk
OF six Maj rrs, Russell & Waddell oxen,
enrOute for Utah, the wagon loaded down
with government bacon, [ witnessed a re
markable example of this phenomenon.
We were crawling slowly along near the
junction of the North and South Platte,
when there appeared in the sky another
train in advance of MS. There were a
dozen wagons. drawn by cattle. Every
detail was comp lete, even to the whip in
the hands of the bullwhackers, but every
thing was inverted The oxen we're on
their hacks, the drivers on their heads
and the wagons on their bows. Sudden
" there seemed to be great connection,
and all the wagons buried to the spot,
where they halted. Then the mirage van
ished. The next day we overlook the
traio that had occasioned it. The wa
CONS were still in the position in which
we saw them. The occupants were en-
gagged in carrying ont the body of a wO-
man for burial. At the moment of the
mirage the day before showed the COM
motion in the train she had fallen from
the wagon in which she was riding and
been run over, meeting instant death.
As soon as the sad news passed along the
line the other wagons hurried mp and
halted. Just as they did 80 the mirage
vanished"

The Popular Line
.UNATIC.

To the east is the Burlington Route
(Hannibal & st. Joseph r. RI. The ser
vice by this line has been constantly i'm
proved until it has reached degree of
excellence surpassed by none; and equal
ed by few. The Burliugton's eli" is
probably the most popular train running
between the Missouri river aud Chicago
being solid through vestibule train of
Pullman sleepers and free chair cars
Leaving Kansas City, AtchisOn and St
Joseph after supper, the passenger ar
rives in Chicago at 9:15 in the morning.
Having taken breakfast on one of the
Burlington's world renowned dining cars
he is ready for the days business or in
ample time to make all eastern connec-
tions.
For the convenience of passengers from
Kansas City the Ell" takes dining car
out of Kansas City on which eaSt-bound
passengers are served with a supper
which is equaled by few hotels.
The BnrlingtOn's st. Louis line though
comparatively new, is becoming better
known and growing in popular favor
every day until it bids fair in the near
future to he the favorite line between the
Missouri river and st. Louis. This train
SOiiSlStiES VI llli bttSl tCliClS, CllulI CdTS
and coaches leaves Kansas City, Atchison
and st. Joseph after supper and puts the
passenger in st. Louis for breakfast, and
ample time to make all connections.
You are also requested to bear in mind
that the Burlington KANSAS City st. JO-
seph & Council Bluffs r. r is the only
liue running through Pullman buffet
sleeper between Kansas City and st .Jo-
seph and ST. Paul and Minneapolis. This
is the short line between Kansas CITY,
St. Joseph and Omaha. Through daily
trains with sleepers and chair cars.
In whatever direction you travel be
sure your tickets read over the Burling-
ton route, thereby insuring yourself the
greatest amount of comfort, with the
least expense of money or time.

Study it Out for Yourself.

Henry W. Grady, late editor of the
Atlanta Constitution, recently gave utter
ence to the following before one of the
southern colleges:
The fact that a man ten years from
poverty has an income of $20,0O0,0U0-
and his two associates nearly as much
aud the control and arbitrary pricing of
an article of universal Use, fails strangely
on the cars of those who hear it as they
sit empty-handed while their children cry
for bread. The tendency deepens the
dangers suggested by the status. What
is to be the eud Of swift pilIng up of
wealth? When the agents of dozen
men, who have captured and control an
article of prime necessity meet the repre-
sentative of million farmers from whom
they have forced S3,0OU,0OO the year be-
before, with no more moral right than is
behind the highwayman who halts the
traveller at his pistol point, and Insulting
ly gives them the measures of his
years rapacity and tells them men who
live by the sweat of their brows and stand
befure God aud nature that they must
submit to The iDfamy because they
are helpless. the first fruits of this system
are gathered and have turned to ashes on
their lips. When A dozen men get to-
gether In the morning and fix the price of
a dmzen articles of comm ~ use with n
standard but their arbitrary will, and no
limit but their greed and daring and
they notify the sovereign people OF this
free republic how much in the mercy of
their masters they shall pay for the nee
essaries OF life, then the point of intole.-
able shame has been reached
Economists have held that wheat,
grown everywhere cannot be ccrnered by
capital. And yet one man in Chicago
tied the wheat crop in his handkerchief
and held it until sewing woman in nv
city, working for ninety cents per week,
had to paw him twenty cents tax on the
sack of -four she bore home in her fam
ished hands Three men held the cotton
crop until the English spindles were stop
ed and the lights went ont in many Eng
fish homes. Last simmer one man cor
nered pork until he had Jewell a tax of 80
cents per barrel on every consumer and
pocketed profit of millions. The Gar
of Russia would not have dared to do
these things and vet they are no secrets
in this free government il ours.
