The Kansas City Telephone Com
pany Preparing Surveys.

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. p.
The Missouri and Kansas Telephone
Company has force of men engaged
in a survey of the downtown part of
the city, the object of which is to en-
able the company to perfect arrange
ments for putting its downtown wires
under ground. The survey consists
of establi, hing a record of the gas and
water mains, and all manner of street
Improvements. 1t is expected that
this preliminary survey will take two
or three weeks, and when it is finished
the company will ask the council TO
grant it a franchise for putting Its
downtown wires under ground. As
far as possible, the company de-
sires to lay IFS conduits in alleys, as
the expense of tearing them up and
replacing them is much less than the
expense of tearing up and relaying
street paving.
The company has not yet deter.
mined upon the location for its new
Office, and w. w. Smith, the general
manager of the company, said: awe
are trying to select a location with
reference to the future growth of our
business, aud it is desirable to have
the exchange as centrally located as
possible"
As soon as the location of the ex-
change is decided upon, the steps to.
ward sinking the wires will be actively
pushed.

FOSTER CHOSEN.
The President dominates Him
For Secretary of the
Treasury.
A Former Governor of Ohio and
at One Time Congress
man.

Washington, Feb. 21.-The Presi-
dent to-day nominated Ex-Governor
Charles Foster of Ohio to succeed the
late William Window as the Secretary
of the Treasury.
In the last years of General Grants
administration, and from that time up
to 1880, Charles Foster of Ohio was
prominent as any Republican in the
house or in politics, excepting possibly
Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Conkling. Foster
jumped into sudden rotoriety by an
independent and courageous course
which he took in reference to the south
ern question. He won the esteem of
high minded citizens everywhere, and
yet by sbrewd political management
lost no popularity with the active
politicians. His popularity in Ohio
became enormous and it carried him
into the governments chair after two
of the most exciting campaigns ever
held in the state. Many persons
thought that Foster was coming man
of the republican party, but after he
retired from the governorship for a
long period his name was scarcely
mentioned. He afterward, however,
attracted attention by re-eptering
political life as candidate for congress.
In Mr.. Fosters case this comparative
obscurity was apparent rather than
real, and was voluntary rather than
forced. Fer, altogether an excellent
politician and a man of statesmanlike
impuls=s, be also possessed business
capacity which commanded the res
pect of the ablest business men.
1t happened that just as he was re-
firing from the gnvernorship of Ohio
the discovery of the enormous reser-
vOirs of natural gas which exist under
The soil Of that state was made, and
Governor Foster was one of the first
to see the great financial possibilities
which lay In the development of this
wealth. He gave himself up tor
several years to organizing and
developing the business. 1t was
an absolutely new business /;
there We're no pre- cede nts
and therefore those interested had
to feel their way. Governor Foster
was so absorbed in it that he slipped
away from public notice until after
the successful development. when it
was found that he had created a bus
wealth. 1ihathe consented to enter
political lie again indicated his be-
lief that his work in the gas fields was
practically accomplished. He made
no secret of his ambition to become
some day a senator from Ohio.
The anti-free coinage people are
satisfied as Fo ter's views on that sub
iect are well known and the free
coinage members, while not endorsing
Fosters sentiments on the subject of
silver, are glad that an Eastern man
was not chosen.
Ex-Governor Foster is, it is said
thoroughly in accord with the Presi-
dents 6nancisl policy and conser-
vative man, whose opinions are all
favorable to a sound, stable currency.
The Republicans generally express
themselves as well satisfied the Presi-
dents selection,

inauguration can be made worthy OF
: the importance Of the fifth state in
the union.
Sedalia does not ask anything un-
reasonable.
She is prepared to stand by every
offer she has made from a financial
standpoint, and she offers a location
for the capitol building, which cannot
be equalled in the state.
Centrally situated, and with rail
way facilities which makes her easy of
access, she is the one place for the
capital which the state presents and
upon which the majority of the people
look with favor.
The thirty-sixth general assembly
now has an opportunity to distinguish
itself and to 60 on record as having
been instrumental in giving Missouri
capital which will be in accordance
with her rank and prestige, and it is
to be hoped that the members will
weigh well the matter and provide for
an amendment to the constitution
which will submit the question direct
ly to the people, and permit them to
say whether or not future Legislatures
will be asked to 60 on putting money
in repairs, more especially since it is
we'll known that new capitol must
eventually be built, and that the
money to build it must fall heavily
upon the state funds. With the help
which Sedalia offers, the new building
could be built at a much less expense
to the state treasury, and hence the
thirty-sixth general assembly, which
prides itself particularly on Its Geo.
nomical views, should weigh the re-
moval very carefully and with the alb
clifton of anything that would pertain
to mere sentiment, decide in favor of
submitting the question as asked for.
1t viii MOI do for Sedslia to allow
this matter of the capital removal to
be baked by any lack of interest Oh
their part, Jefferson City with every
thing at stake will move every force
within its domain to keep the capitol
in lis present location and Sedalia
should send hundred men and two
hundred women to the capital to pre-
vent any miscarriage of a scheme
which cannot fall to rebound to the
credit of the state. Establishments
in the shape of fairly pretty women
haa hr'UlI itys best arguments in the
past. Sedalia should see to it that
real advantages, extremely pretty
women and natural f)Hers of the
rare:t hue are not wanting to plead
Sedalia's cause.

CAPITAL RE dOVAL.

The question of the removal of the
capital from Jefferson City has again
been presented and a concurrent res
olution to that effect has heen intro
duced in the thirty-sixth General AS
sembly, with such powerful arguments
in its favor, that it will be impossible
to urge anything which willmaterialIy
altar the justice of Sedalis's claim.
Year after year. the assemDly's have
been importuned by the people of tie
S ate to submit the question to the
people and the present one should
weigh the matter well before deciding
against her.
The present capitol building has
long been a reproach to the great
state of Missouri and no amount OF
money could make it anything else.
When the thirty-fifth assembly was
asked to move in the matter, it was
not Sedalia which was heard alone,
but with few exceptions the entire
press of the state voiced the people,
and urged that no mere of their hard
earned money should be appropriated
toward repairing and adding to q
building, which by no stretch Of the

city to Parsons, has brought out &
strong and just protest from the mos
prominent merchants OF st. Louis
and they have presented the matter
just as it stands without any gauzy
arguments whatsoever. These mer
chants realize that Sedalia is the nat
ural and proper location for the Offices
that they mean loss of thousands
of dollars to the railway company
should they be removed from this
point and they urge a reconsidera
ton of the matter, which should not
be disregarded, and indeed which the
railroad company cannot afford to dis
regard. The railroad was not built
for the few, but for the many, and the
money was given with the express
view Of helping Missouri to better her
commercial interests. 1t is said that
the officials claim that they want the
headquarters to be more convenient
to the machine shops; but this has no
foundation and SO far no argument
which would bear the least investiga
ton has been advanced which would
warrant the officials in their policy of
favoring Kansas to the detriment of
Missouri.
The st. Louis merchants have been
the largest patrons of the road and
the company cannot afford to ignore
them and pursued policy which means
the less of thousands and tens of thou
sands of dollars annually. Missouri
generally, has a right to protest in the
manner. Her people have given over
million dollars to build the road and
they have claims upon it which are
just and right.
Throughout the state since the
question of the removal Of the offic:s
has been agitsted, there has been an
underlying feeling that mistake was
being made and since the st. Louis
merchants among the best and most
prominent in the city, too-have now
ably come to tn, front AID given sub
stantial reasons why they shoall re
main 10 this city, it is quite possible
that the matter will not prove the

ton that the headquarters of the NJ

com panies would not be exemplified
in this case, but that Sedalia's claims
would present themselves in such
fashion that they would be
given some weight. That this
claim has been fully understood by
St. Louis merchants and others who
have kept track of the matter is now
fully established and Sedalia's friends
are coming to the front in manner
which cannot be longer ignored. As
the S.. Louis merchants have so ably
urged, it is not alone Sedalia that is
interested, but the entire State of
Missouri and the railway company
will do vel to listen to her and calcu-
late carefully whether it can afford to
lose a patron, which in the psst
has put thousands and tens of th0us-
ands dollars into its Golfers, for the
sake of a pretended idea of a more
convenient location and a compliance
with the demands OF tie few over the
rights of the many.

Shelbina Democrat.
1t has been strongly intimated by
certain parties that the proposition to
print the laws was selfish job gotten
up by certain newspaper men who ex-
pected to reapa rich reward therefrom.
In answer to that let this fact be re-
membered. ]. West Goodwin, of the
Sedalia BAzoo is the man who hiss
been the most earnest advocate of this
measure. He publishes en- independ-
ent democratic daily and weekly paper
and has large office, and from the
latter his profits are mainly derived.
AS his paper is not an organ, he has
not in the past received any of the
State printing and he does not now
and cannot reasonably expect any of
il in the future. However much the
state may pay out for printing the
laws, he cannot expect to receive one
dollar; so that his efforts, and he is the
principal worker in this cause, is mot
prompted by by the hope of getting
his hand into the treasury. He daft
ed the bill now before the legislature,
and had he been actuated by such
motives as certain uncharitsble peo-
pie impute to him and all who favor
this measure, he would have followed
the Minnesota or Wisconsin law which
requires the publication of the laws
every paper in the state, rather than
the New York law as he has. This
much is due in justice to Mr.. Goodwin.
