would be built l would apply for a position
on it but l wouldn't like to apply and
then not have the road 20 through" Per-
hsps a written guarantee from the company
that the road will be built would satisfy
this important young man. But, upon
second thought, perhaps it would be well
for him to wait until the road is built and
in operation, and see if it can get along
without his services.

the servant of the political lords OF the
east, and has to submit to their dictum.
This is SO oppressive there will be polit-
ical rebellion as in the days of slavery,
and as the interests of the west and
south are Identical, being producers.
when the south lays aside her prejudices
over the dead issues of the past. she will
unite with the west, and they unitedly
win break down the crushing monopo-
lies of the east.
A very important step tending In
this direction and one OF the most
advantageous to the people west OF
the Mississippi river. is the opening
OF deep water harbor at Galveston,
Tex, with all the advantages in rates as
that Of New York The distance to New
York Is so great that we cannot compete
with more eastern states in the shipment
of our vast products TO European mar
kets. This new opening brings us sea-
port within convenient distance, and
turns the tide of our products from the
far off east to the near southwest. Chi
cago will be about the center or these
important points. This to Kansas, with
her large yields of grain, beef and pork,
will be of incalculable advantage; and
with her rich soil, mild and healthful
climate and other advantages, will give
her boom that will be permanent Al
ready arrangements are being consum-
mated for the erection of mammoth
grain elevators here for the shipment Of
grain to Galveston which, with the large
packing houses and stock yards already
in operation, will make Wichita the
greatest shipping point in the state.

Walking Versus Cycling.

Some think that cycling is a substitute
for the use of ones legs in the way most
natural 1t is certainly faster method of
getting over the ground; in other respects
1t is vastly inferior TO the old original form
OF exercise. Even the accomplished cyclist
cannot help letting his thoughts center
upon his machine, and the various hazards
to which he and it are exposed. Is the hill
in front too steep to ride up? Is the hill
below steep enough to permit Of an aban-
donment of the treadles and a surrender to
that voluptuous pleasure of brisk motion
through space which has something more
than humanity agreeable about it2 VIII
those children there get out Of the way in
time, or is he-the rider--to have the burden
of boyslaughter upon his soul5 And so on
In truth the cyclist is not half the man
that the pedestrian is at the time of their
respective exercise The pedestrian can
whistle and swing his stick, and look to
the right and left Of him, peep with sweet
deiiberation into the cottage by the way,
wherein he sees smooth cheek and glad
blue eye, which to the cyclist, urged on by
his fate, are mere flash of possibilities
and the next moment nothing at all The
cyclist sees too much and too little he
may nave lar general knowledge OF the
country he has sped through; but Of the
details he can recount little. II is no such
immense achievement To watch the scurry-
ing OF the yellowbammer from one point Of
the hedge TO another five yards further,
then another five yards on, until at length,
As If it were out Of patience with the harm
Iessness OF the advancing biped, IL whistles
of obliquely toward turnip field.
Still the man afoot may take an interest
in birds; or if he be lover Of plants he
may sec a score OF kinds amid the under
growth of the hedge at q single protracted
look; aye, and without any fuss stoop down
and examine them. The cyclist, on the
other hand, has a confused vision OF
greenery and plowed fields or ripening
grain. It is as II he had eaten his dinner
IN one uncomeiy heap, soup, joint. the wing
of a fowl and tart or two all being jun
oled horribly together. - All the Year

THE STORAGE SYSTEM,

An exhibition of the storage battery
system of propelling street cars, was
given on Friday, in st. Joe, Mo-, which
seems to have been decidedly successful
Judging from the published accounts.
The car used was found to be capable of
running at any desired speed up to fif-
teen miles an hour. This is getting very
close TO rapid transit on clear roads. The
chief objection to the storage system
has been its excessive cost over the wire
system. but it is claimed that this is re-
moved in the system tested in St Joe:
that it is fully as economical in every way
as the cheapest overhead wire system
now in use. There seems to be little
doubt that the storage system will super
sede the others, ere long. and it is be-
heved by many that it will be applied to
the standard railways of the country at
no distant day.

which was credited in the EAGLES COM
ment TO ''some poetical genius" The
eradication was caused bv the appear

surprise WAS at 1.-The omission OF proper
credit" The EAGLE Graves pardon from
Its bright and enterprising contemporary
for the omission of its name. The poetic
excerpt was taken from the co lumns of
the Courier, but not being aware that
It's editor was the happy possessor of the
divine affiatus, and the production ap-
pearing In immediate connection with
the Sun poem, with nothing special TO
indicate that il was original with the
Courier. the writer hereof used it, taking
care 10 give the writer thereof his appre-
citation of the effort.
