Surveyors Still on tho iioute-Tho Penn.
sylvania Lines Reached.
The Wayncsburg Democrat says: "It
is quite evident that the surveyors
have been at work on the proposed line
between Elm Grove, in West Virginia,
and the Pennsylvania line. This much
has been proven by statements in vari-
Gus Wheeling papers made at different
times, and from the assertions OF Wheel
ing men and others who have seen the
men at work and conversed with them.
Many newspaper readers are misled by
accepting mere rumors and opinions as
established facts. The facts, as far
as thoy are known, are that 4 COM
pany has been formed, a survey is being
made with the intention and cxpecta-
ton OF building road. The route may
be defined in the minds Of its projectors,
but they have not given to the public
this bit OF important news. 1t may be,
in spite Of all assertions to the contrary,
that part Of the route at least is still
in doubt. From the best information
that can be obtained the surveyors now
at work have about reached the Penn
sylvania line. They will soon be at
work in this state. They seem to be
making very careful survey which
indicate that SO far rs the portion they
are now on is concerned they might
adopt it as the route to be used"

Jedideah Prouty, the noted keeper OF

there in 1878, and Gold Jed Prouty" in
the forthcoming play, are one and the

He is now to be held up by Richard
Golden, his dramatic Bosworth, as a

pectcd to give place to the approaching

REPREHENsIRLr.

There is too much mob law in this
country. Men are too ready, as it is
to take the law into their own hands in
certain cases. How reprehensibIe
therefore, for a reputable public journal
to endeavor to incite people to lynch
law by appeals to passion and preju-
dice, and that too right under the
shadow of the Supreme bench and in
full view of the chief site of govern
ment of a great State, as the State
Ledger has been doing. Gov. Stone
and Sheriff Harding have proved them
selves equal to the demands made up
on them in maintaining the majesty of
the law in one notable instance, when
appeals to passion and prejudice were
industriously invoked to subvert the
regular course of justice, and the LEAD
Err hopes and believes they will be
equal to any emergency which may
arise in the case about which the State
Ledger is now so much exercised.

AFFIRMED.

The Supreme Court last Monday
handed down the following decisions
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1892-03-04
Points.

TOPEKA, Kan, March 3-About twenty
five editors of the Peoples party papers
held meeting here today and issued a
call for meeting of the executive com
mittee Of the Peoples party central com
mittee tomorrow. The Peoples party will
pursue different plan from either of the
old parties and will hold only one conven-
tion to nominate its candidate for con-
gressman -at-large delegates to the nation
al convention and its state ticket. ;. w.
Chase, chairman of the Peoples party
executive committee, is in the city for the
purpose of comforting with the reform
editors. He stated that he was in favor of
holding the Peoples party convention just
before the Republican convention and
getting before the voters of the state. The
Peoples party politicians do not think it
necessary TO wait for the Omaha conven-
ton, as the Kansas party will stand on the
platform adopted at St. Louis. The most
remarkable feature of the campaign is the
impression which prevails among num-
Der of the Peoples party politicians that
Harrison Kelly, the ex-congressman, who
was defeated two years ago by John O..
Otis, will defeat Otis this year for the
Peoples party nomination.
A bitter fight developed over the ques-
tion of fusion with the Democrats. The
committee on resolutions divided on the
question. The majority reported against
fusion. W. II. Brown of kingman and
Warren Foster of Hutchinson presented a
minority report, strongly urging fusion.
After long and acrimonious debate both
reports were laid on the table
