The Railroads. Taxes.

The Southern Pacific company paid
its taxes yesterday. They amounted
to $52, 900, and the money arrived
from San Francisco on the afternoon
train. The States share of the sum,
amounting to $4,000, was sent to
Carson last evening on No. 4.-Silver
State.

The Salt Lake and Nevada Road.

Ano salt Lake and Nevada Road.
Dan De guile, in his weekly letter
to last Sundays Salt Lake Tribune,
has the following to say about the pro-
posed competing road, which strikes
us as being just about how the matter
stands:
Now comes from San Francisco a
report that work is to commence at
once on the road from that place to
Salt Lake City, through Nevada, with
mention of the route to be followed as
far as Reno. What truth there may
be in this statement it is hard to say
There are in San Francisco so many
diligent and capable liars that one can
believe no story from them in regard
to any matter in which money or any
large interest is at stake. At the same
time that the dispatch was sent out,
saying that the work of construction
was to begin at once, the Report, in
an article in regard to Mr.. Mackay's
telegraph enterprises in the East, says
cit is to hoped that some day when
Mr.. Mackay has these enterprises
sufficiently advanced he will give his
attention to the building of Compel
ing road to the coast. "
The people of San Francisco would
like to see Mackay or some other man
of millions build "a competing road,
but will themselves do nothing to-
ward pushing through such an enter
prise. That is why their city is now
about in condition to be "fenced in. !"
The business men will do nothing to
free themselves from the clutches of
the Southern Pacific so long as the
high freights come out of the masses
the consumers. Rather than venture
dollar they will go on raking in
every cent that can be got out of the
consumer, quite satisfied with the small
business they are doing SO long as they
are on the safe side. They have not
sufficient enterprise to pitch in with
their money and all their energies and
and build up prosperous community
and through increase of business make
tens of thousands where they are now
making hundreds. In their narrow
way they hang on to every cent they
can get hold of, content with the dimes
they can get out of poor community
when by risking some of their accumu-
lated wealth and doing some good,
energetic work they might have sur
rounding them rich community from
which they could more readily gather
dollars than they now can squeeze
dimes.
When the business men and men of
capital in town set to work at milk
ing the people of the place instead of
striving to make it prosperous, and
giving all in the community constant
paying employment, that town will
soon be ready to be fenced in. Salt
Lake City is not the place for business
men that she would be were her labor
ing masses more fully employed.
The masses have not money with
which to build needed railroads, but
they are all able to pitch in and work,
and the road would bring them the
employment they require, when they
would at once become valuable Gus
toners to business houses-w would
spend dollars where they now do not
spend dimes. If a business man ex-
poets to build up a big town he must
do all in his power to make that town
prosperous, otherwise what he gains
will only be what the necessities of an
impoverished people oblige them to
give up.

Republican Convention.

Up to the hour of going to press there
ia not much definite news from the
Minneapolis convention. On TUESDAY
the temporary Craftsmanship was gwen
to Fasset, Blaine man, out on
Wednesday Bill Mckinley, Harrison
man, was made permanent chairman.
The inside pages of the DEMOCRAT con-
tains Blaine's letter of withdrawal
from the cabinet, also Harrison's reply
and some reports of the situation as
between the two men.
The convention adjourned TUESDAY
evening to 1920 Wednesday. 1t is
thought no definite action will De taken
until Thursday, the 9th.
The Blaine Harrison fight viii prove
a bitter one, and will only help to
make the election of a democratic
president more certain.

adjourned to IL a. m. Thursday. AL

Morg. is "Not in It."

II the following from the Great Bend
correspondence to the Hutchinson News
is to be taken as authority Morg. has
developed just sufficientforesight to see
that he is not in it for secretary of state:
''Hon. Morgan Caraway has with
drawn from the race for secretary Of
state as he has been prevented from
making canvass on account OF his
business. He had strong endorsements
from all parts of the state and would
have made strong candidate before
the people had he received the nomlna-
tion,"
First time we know that his business
kept him at home.

Our belief, as stated some weeks ago,
that there would be no chance for the
democratic and peoples parties of Kan
sas to work together this fall for the
defeat of the common enemy, is more
strongly founded than ever since the
action of the peoples party convention
in the first congressional district, where
a rampant, ex-republican. middle-of-
the.road man was nominated instead
of Col. WA. Harris, a man whom
the democrats would have support
ed. The die is cast and it now
remains for the democrats to
place straight democratic NOMINEES
in the field for every Office and make the
same relentless fight for the right
that has characterized Kansas democ.
racy for so many years against great
odds. The lesson of 1891 was not
taken home by the masses of the third
party movement. 1t needs another
lesson.

DAVID OvERMYER the silver
tounged orator of Shawnee county
would be the proper man for the demo-
Gratis of Kansas to place in nomination
for congressman-at-large. He would
make it exceedingly interesting for
''gold-bug Geo. T. Anthony. Mr..
Overmyer is "a sympathy with the
majority of the people of Kansas on all
questions appertaining to the welfare
of the common people which can not be
said of Anthony. He is the friend of
Wall Street monopolists and railroad
corporations. His gold-bug speech at
Denver should have prevented him
from getting the nomination, but no,
the republican party has no eye for the
interest of agriculturalists of Kansas,
and as long as kept in power will sup
port the demands of the money shark
of the east. Will the people sustain
the nomination? We guess not-Sineca

The cheyenne Flats.

The Blade desires to call the atten-
tion of our county fathers to the future
possibilities Of those flats, known as the
Cheyenne Bottoms" That part of
Barton county territory needs some
attention from the stand point of SIM
pie good business judgement. There
are sixty square miles of land embraced
in that tract that might be made the
garden spot of this banner county of
Barton. 1t would not cost much outlay
and that would be more than compen-
stated by the increase of taxes that
would be collected, where now nothing
practically is received.
There are plenty of laws on our stat
ute books that authorize the drain age of
such lands as these at the public
expense, and there is little doubt but
that the public would be greatly assisted
by private land owners and by persons
who hold mortgages who would stand
part of the expense. a cut could be
made through a narrow pass on the
southeast rim of the bottoms through
which the water would flow and to
this cut main ditch should be run
with Lateral branches connecting at
various points. thus the whole land
would become arabic and fit for the
abode of other bipeds besides geese
and ducks.
We will have something more to say
on this subject hereafter. -Hoisington
