SALIVA.

For twenty-five years the JOURNAL
has endeavored TO hold up to the
world the many advantages Salins
enjoys, and il IL with pleasure that
the present management gives to its
readers this week, Is faithful an &C.
count Of her industries and progress,
ss other pressing duties would allow.
As Q town Sslina has increased
steadily every year. Never has she
refrigerated, and now in the begin
ming OF the year 1898, she finds her
self with $500 happy, industrious
and conteuted people within her
borders, who believe more firmly
than ever, that Salinas future is
bright. With three colleges spend
ing annually over 100000 with her
business men, q labor pay roll per
annum OF sI25, 600 coming from her
railroads, an annual wholesale bust
ness Of over 5000. 900, a pay roll i'm

produces from that iuexhaustibl-
mine Of rich, black loan soil oveI
s. UD0. 600 worth OF the necessities Of
life, with q territory right. at her door
2l5 miles long by 30 miles wide,
exactly the size of the entire State
Of Ohio, aud with four competing
lines OF railroads aud two branches
bringing u into direct cOmmunica
ton with this vast territory, she has
a right to rejoice and look forward
with hope to the future She has
enough already to make her great,
Vet the tide has begun to come in,
and with IL comes almost every day
some new industry ar enterprise that
sid- to her growth. IL in the year
lsgs SaIina secures the establishment
here "f industries that are now look
ing this way. and that she has every
reason To believe will come, her
growth in the next twelve month,
will be by far the greatest in her
history. Real estate can now be had

prices il attained during boom days,

CURED st fair prices. where q few
wears sgo money would hardly buy.
Men who are interested in Salina
have learned that the way to build a
town is 60 put prices on real estate
that will secure buyers, and il was a
glorious day for SaliDa when she
reached that point. We have the
very best town in one OF the very
best counties of the very best pOr-
ton Of the best state in the union,
and propose 10 tell our friends about
il. 81 they may avoid the rush. The
Columbian year ought to be mar.
velous one for the entire west, and
Sallna. with the rest of the state,
will get her share. The JOURNAL
wishes each aud every citizen of Sa-
lins and Saline county a happy and
prosperous new year, and promises

MIR e.. u. kIRTLAND, editor Of
the Salina JOURNAL, called at the
Gazette Office Thursday afternoon.
He was full of Sslina, railroad
freight rates, and the wonderful
prospects OF his town. Mr.. Kirkland
has been engaged in the Job printing
aud blank book business for several
years, aud has had much 10 do
himself Ia developing the idea that
Salina as a distributing point 10 wor-
thy the attention of the world. a
year or 80 ago he added the SALINA
JOURNAL to his plant. and II demon
strating that he can push a newspa-
per with the same Interest aud abili-
~ he has n general manufacturing
business. lie thinks the legislature
will rip the railroads up the back on
rates this winter. One wholesale
house Ia Saliua sold n million dol
lars worth 81 good last year, aud n
variety az manufacturing plants ex-
ist Ia the tuSn.-EdHsds city, as

Having an hour Mt our disposal
while Ia Kansas City Thursday, Gu
rio-ity to see Just how the old politi.
cal war-horse Of the Fifth district
was situstrd, we took a ear for Kan.
sss city, Ks, to call on George Mar
tin, and see the wonderful town he
tells about every evening In the DIAL.

plunged. along dingy streets, In the
shadow Of packing houses, mills,
and three ball shsnties, until we be.
gan To- pity the genial George for ST.
lectlng such u miserabl. place. hut
sOou the ear began an upgrade. and
mineral water instead OF beer was
advertised along the route, the
streets grew wider, vacant lots were
scattered along between three and
four story brick blocks, and then we
recognized Kansas, even In the un.
certain evening light. In new
building built for the Gazette, We
found Martin hard Mt work, but
with time enough Ia talk h few min.
utes Of Kansas aud her prospects.
The Gazette IL well equipped for the
work Il IL expected TO do. aud u the
future growth Of the two elite. ut
the mouth Of the Ksw IL not largely
on the Kansas side, u will not be the

out lst-footed for our side OF the
question In the near future.

OUR good friends down on the
Missouri are Just finding out some
thing; they have been q long while
about il, but IL has dawped upon
them st last. They have discovered
that while that they have wrought
aud slept, and grown aud prospered
that the great state OF Kansas has
been following their example. They
either did not know II or else failed
to coucede IL up to two or three weeks
ago, but now they are 50 anxious to
.erve aud please the central western
part Of the state that they cit up
nights To invent schemes aud make
concessions to that part OF the state
lying outside the Missouri bottoms.
We are glad OF this, not particular
= for our own sakes, but principally
on their account. When Il comes to
n case Of necessity the central and
western part OF the state can take
care Of themselves, without regard

border. We would much rather
have their assistance aud co-opera-
ton, but failing in this there L. still
strength enough left Tor all needs.
There is no man, woman or child
here or elsewhere that would take
away aught that belongs to the three
cities on the eastern border. Nay,
IL they suffered adversely II would
Ue n personal grief To Us. The utter
ior cities OF this state aspire to CON-
m-rcial Importance, aud In order To
attain the object of their ambition
they want To see Atchison and
LeavenworIh make better towns.
they want Kansas Guy TO become
a rock OF commercial strength and
endurance upon which all OF US can
depend IN the time OF need. they
want Kansas city To he To them what
Chicago Is to st Louis Kansas City
and Denyer-the mother as IL were.
The good mother is not partial. Kan
sas CITY has attained already all IL
can hope to have as n commercial
jubbiug city. IL must get new
dress; the present one having been
all bursted out at the seams by It's
growth. IL is passing strange that
the men who have made Kansas City
what IL il cannot see that they have
before them higher and greater
career. Must we literally drive them
to their new destiny? There il room
for all The day is dawuinC when
the metropolis Of the Kaw aud Mis-
souri,, will point with pride to an
even half dozen Of cities located like
buIwarks around n citidel, but we
are only sorry that IL cannot be said
by this great town, that IL had any
hand in building up these outposts
of its trade

below the report Ia full OF the com

Club Of this city To prepare u state.

This report was submitted to the

and approved. Please read Il care.
fully aud let u know what you think
OF It. Our Interests are yours, you
say, and II they are, what are you
going To do with this question.
SAIISA. Dec. 9th. 1882.
Your committee appointed for that
purpose beg leave TO report the follow
ing:
Probably the most important question
that will be brought before the state leg
islature. which will soon convene, ~
what is known as the railroad question
The people of the state realize that they
are not fairly treated 10y the railroad
companies and that they are being over
charged Tor the service rendered and
that these oyercharges and discrimina-
tons against them by the railroad com.
panies have become an oneruus burden.
All parties, therefore, in the last pOliti-
cal canvass embodied in their platforms
plank especially devoted To this ques-
ton, demanding that the legislators
elect give this question attention and
enact such legislation as would relieve
the citizens Of the state from,this burden
IL IL now necessary, in order that the
Legislators may act intelligently, that the
people take up this question and indicate
10 their respective members elect what
Legislation they desire and from what
grievances they wish relief.
Ii is conceded fact that the people
Of the state Of Kansas pay Ia their rail
road companies from three Ia tive times
times as much for the same service as is
paid 10 these same railroad companies
by the citizens OF other states. These
excessive rates apply Ia all classes NJ
shipments both On the products Of the
states which are shipped out, such as
grain, live stock, etc, and ON all commo
dities which are shipped into the state.
To illustrate these overcharges attention
is called To tho following comparative
statement made by the State Board Of
Railroad Commissioners in a case recent
ly brought before them by the interior
iobbers Of Kansas ON the item Of sugar
alone:

A BRILLIANT WEDDING,
Greenville winthrop and Miss Mary
Trevor the Contracting Parties.

Special to the Leaf Chronicle.
NEW YORK, June 2.-One of the
most brilliant of the many recent
fashionable weddings was that of Mise
Mary Talmage Trevor, daughter of
the late John b. Trevor, and Green
vile Winthrop, son of Robert VIM
throp, of the extensive banking firm
of this city. The bride is one Of the
wealthiest young women in the
United States. The ceremony was
solemnized at high noon in ST. Johns
church at Yonkers-O On- Hudson, and
was witnessed by a large company,
four hundred New Workers having
arrived on a special train from that
city. Subsequently there was re.
ception at GIenview, the country
home of the brides parents.

MALONEY is DYING.
Trial Called, but He is Unable to
Appear.
Indicted for the Murder of Thomas j.
Holland in Louisville Nearly Elev-
en- Years Ago.

Special to the Leaf af-Chioniclel
LOUISVILLE, June 2.-It is the opin-
ion of physicians, as it has been for
two years, that John j. Maloney will
not survive until his case is again
called for trial in the Circuit Court.
Maloney is charged with willful muir
der, and the circumstances surround
ing the affair are peculiar.
The crime for which he stands in
dicted occurred eleven years ago. On
the evening of July4 1881, he stabbed
Thomas j. Holland. The wound
proved fatal and the murderer fled.
He remained in hiding until March
"a, 1890, when, broken in health, he
returned. He was apparently in the
last stage of consumption, and sur
rendered to the police, stating that he
desired to be tried for the crime he
had committed.
Since he surrendered, his case has
been called time and again in the
Circuit Court, but each time was
continued on account of the, prison
er's weak physical condition. The
case was called again yesterday, but
an affidavit from .sDr. G. w. Kelly
stated that Maloney was in no con-
dition to stand a trial, and that de-
spite the efforts to get him in con-
dition to appear in court, he had
grown worse, and is now undoubted-
ly in the last stage of consumption.
The facts being made known to
Judge Jackson he again continued
tine case, this time until Nov. IA.

CONFLICTING REPORTS.
The Damage by the Recent Floods Not
So Heavy as Reported.
special to the Leaf-chirOnicle. 81

Special to the Leaf-Chronicie.
ST. LOUIS. June2 Many conflict.
ing reports have gone out here as to
the damage done by the floods, esti-
mates as high as eleven million
dollars having been given. Now that
the water is receding, 1t is evident
that SO far as the city Of st. Louis is
concerned, the loss will be nominsl.
The expense that will have to be in
Cured by the municipal government
is so trifling that the City Comptrol-
Ter has not deemed it necessary 10
make any allowance for it in his esti-
mates, and acting on his recon-
mendation the municipal assembly
has reduced the tax rate from so to
40 cents.
There is much rejoicing in the city
over this unexpected action, which
is more surprising as the city is
erecting new waterworks, and a
new city hall, costing altogether
