LET'S GO TO WORK.

Even Il town as old and as well
established as Lexington can afford to
exercise a little push and energy to
maintain its supremacy, and advance
to better conditions.
There are important rumors afiOat
concerning new railroad projects and
in these Lexington is deeply Interested.
Lexington has four railroads, nomi-
nally, but practically she has but two,
and one of these, because of the train
schedule, doing her precious little
good.
The Santa Fe people maintain n
ticket and freight Office here, but the
road being separated from town by
the river, does not get neal its share
of the business, and cannot confer the
benefits it would were ITS connection
unbrOken. The Wabash, with its
station four miles away, is of less
service than the Santa Fe.
1t was runOred last week that the
old Missouri Midland road had been
purchased by Il new company and
would be built 20 Kansas City during
the year. If this road should be con
structed by an independent company,
however, it is hardly possible that it
would come to Lexington. 1t would
more likely, after crossing the Mis-
souri, river at Arrow Rock, defect to
the southwark, and taking advantage
of the topography of the country, try
and reach the divide between the
waters of Black river and Black Jack,
in Saline and Lafayette, and the Sni
and Big Creek in Jackson. This would
take It to COncordia or Aullville, and
enable it to deyelope that splendid
country in South Lafayette and North
johnson.
But should this road fall into the
hands of the Santa Fe people, then
the most feasible thing would be Il
bridge mt Lexington and the building
of the road eastward from here, with
another river crossing AT Arrow Rock.
The Santa Fe is talking of n road
to st. Louis. By beginning here it
would I've about forty-two miles of
railroad building, besides getting
profitable connection with its st. Joe
spur.
If this were done the Wabash people
would eventually spur to Lexington,
securing bridge rights from the Santa
Fe. This would give Lexington m
INSTRUCTED and unbroken connection
by main lines with Kansas City,
Chicago and st. Louis. 1t would give
the coal fields of the river districts of
Lafayette county..a never-failing market
for their coal.
Why not, citizens of Lexington, put
your heads together and see if you
cannot help to bring about some such
development? 1t will take brain and
money to do it, but you have both.

THE DEATH OF MR.. WINsOR.

In the death of Mr.. Edward Winsor
the business interests of Lexington are
stricken. The loss that falls so heavily
upon wife and children, is borne not
alone by them-the entire community
feels the weighted hand of aifiiction
rs il bears down so bitterly upon the
hearts of all.
If within the sacred walls of home
there are weeping and mourning of
hearts bereaved and loves ties broken,
without, there is Il sorrow that is deep
and sincere.
Mr.. Winsor was q man of no ordi-
nary ability. He was n MAJ of bust
ness, of energy and untiring industry.
In all enterprises directed to the up
building of his town he was in the
lead, ard ever willing to do his share
of labor to advance the interests of the
community in which he lived.
He was progressive and active, in
dustriOus and enterprIsing. He was
liberal with his means, and would suffer
~self-sacrifice i'm order that cherished
enterprises might become a success.
No matter what the enterprise was,
whether the building of IL church or es-
tabliching of n school; whether project
ing u railroad or matchmaking II
street; erecting Il public building or
inauguratIng II new business, Edward
Winsor could always be depended upon
to do the work allotted to him, and he
dId it not with the spirit of selfish,
grasping parsimOny, but because he
saw in it II means of public blessing.
As II citizen he was public spirited,
generous and unsellish.
As business man, he was fair, honest,
energetic and faithful, attentive to his
duties, and s%crupuloms in meeting his
obligations.
As Il churchman, he was liberal and
consistent, II conscientious and devoted
christian.
As II husband and father, we are in
formed, he was all love and care,
devoted in his tenderness, unbounded
in his love, and his home was like Gods
eternal sunshine.

MAKING A FOOL OF HIMSELF.

The other day Joe Pulitzer, of the
New York World, ran down to Wash
ington City carrying his big English
secretary along with him. As soon as
he got well settled in his Washington
quarters, he sent his big Englishman
down to see Senator Hill, i%nstructing
him to say to the senator that he,
Pulitzer, the great Austro-Nlissouri
ssJoe," considered the 22nd of Februa-
ny too early to hold the New York
state conventions, and the senator must
not do it.
This Senator Hill has a smile. When
he desires TO give %pertinence Il snub
he turns this smile upon it with II forty
volt power, and that is what he did to
Pultizer's pug dog English secretary.
Joe of course got red hot. His Aus
TRAN blood boiled as if it was kettled
up on a red hot stove, and he ut once
telegraphed his paper in New York 10

1t is understood now that Col. ii. NJ.
Bledsoe will not he in the senatorial
race. Several personal friends of the
colonel have received letters from him,
stating that he was not II candidate,
although many of his friends We're
pressing him for the position.
But while these are urging him for
the state senatorship, Others think he
ought to look higher, and he already
has the endorsement of a portion of his
county press for gubernatorial h"norS.
Nor is this move confined to CasS conn-
ty. All oven the state newspapers are
mentioning him very favorably for the
governorship, and there is o doubt but

''stiiling the voice of the people, and
''defrauding the voters of representa-
ton.
But such is not the case. On the
contrary, for more than three wears
Grover Cleveland has been the most
prominent and most talked of man III
the nation AS the probable candidate
OF the democracy for president in
1892. His name is II household word
throughout the nation. As between
Hill and Cleveland public sentiment
in New York is crystallizcd. The voter
in New York who is in favor of Cleve-
land is as well prepared to express
ms sentiments now rs he would be
in May. lie will have ample oppor-
tunity to do so now. There is no
reason to believe that Cleveland will
be stronger in May than now. There
is no reason to believe that Hill will
be weaker in Ma than now.
These are facts and cannot be
gainsaid.
In view of these facts the "proiests''
that have been uttered by a few self
constituted curators of the democratic
party in New York and echoed by not
a few newspapers (some democratic,
some mugwump and all, with.scarcely
an exception, anti lIilD are not likely
to be regarded, ave with feelings of

are the object of so much apparent

COULDN'T FOOL A WOODEN MAN.

EOoh 'OODASN 90
Within the realm of politics nothing
has been seen in recent years more
ludIcrous that the cutlery raised in
certain quarters Over the action of the
New York demot ratio central COM
mittee fixing February 22d, as the
time for selecting delegates from that
state to the democratic national con-
ventIon.
Aglance at the situation will show that
this is true. Two New York democrats,
and but two, are prominent As candi-
dates, Cleveland and Hill. 1t is in
the highest degree probable, indeed
almost certain, that these are the only
New York men whose m will be
seriously mentioned in the Chicago
convention in connection with the
presidency. We may rest assured that
the New York delegation will support
a citizen of that state. L. follows
therefore, that upon the question of
candidates, the democratic state con
v%ention of New York, which is tn meet
in Albany on the 22d inst, will simply
decide between Cleveland and Hill AS
far as the vote of New York in the
Chicago convention is concerned.
Now, if Mr.. Cleveland were u new
ma before the democracy, if he were
not well known to the masses, if the
people were but just beginning To
mention his name IN CONGESTION with
the Office he is so well qualified to
fill, there might be some reason for
the.talk about "taking snap Judgment"

Gentlemen who come into Lafayette
