Two New Railroads,

Two New Railroads.
The Pittsburg, Fort Smith & Sonth-
ern Railroad company has fled a
charter.
The company is formed for the pur-
pose Of constructing and operating a
standard gauge line of railroad and tele-
graph lines from Pittsburg, in Crawford
county, through the counties of Craw-
ford and Cherokee, thence on the most
practical route to Fort Smith, Ark. The
corporation has a capital of $4,000, 900.
Its principal Offices are to be at Pitts
burg, and the directors are James 81.
Pickering, Finis E. Marshall and Fred
Wild, of Kansas City, Mo-; Chas B.
Riley, Thomas j. White and Charles w.
Trickett, of Kansas City, Kan.
The other road, to be known as the
Kansas City, Pittsburg & Western Rail-
road company, will build line from
point on the state line on the east side
of Crawford county, and forming a con-
nection with the Kansas City, Nevada
& Fort Smith Railroad company's track,
as the same shall be hereafter located,
and running thence through the coun-
ties of Crawford, Cherokee, Labette,
Montgomery, Chautauqua and Cowley
to the southwest corner of Cowley
co unity. The estimated length of this
railroad is $50 miles. Its principal
Office will be at Pittsburp. It will also
have capital stock of $6,0O0,O0O. Its
directors will be E. L. Martin, Richard
Gentry, A. E. Stllwell, J. Med. Trim

KANSAS RA1LnoADa

The various railroads in tho state pay
$770,649 in school taxes.
There are at present ninety two en-
gines running on the eastern division Of
the Santa Fe, and thirty-four in shops
for repairs, and fourteen awaiting re-
pairs.
Speaking of the Santa Fe railroads
prospects, the financial letter of CordIey
& Co., of Boston contained this: "Kan-
sas, on which the Atchison system in
reality is based, seems to have really
entered on one of it's cycles of good
years, commencing with last year. So
far this year the state has nearly COM
pleted the harvest Of approximately TO-
600, 900 bushels of good quality (No. 2
Chicago grade) wheat, exceeding last
years banner record by some 100000
bushels. This is, if our recollection
serves us right, the largest crop Of wheat
ever raised in any state. The corn crop
in Kansas, while some seven to ten days
late (but rapidly gaining), is in prime
condition at the moment, with no reason
to specially fear any accidents that will
set it back, or reduce the expected yield
of from 10O,0O0,O00 to 100000, 900
bushels, though of course the grain is
never absolutely safe until cut. The
heavy traffic in sight, together with the
officially announced successful reorgan-
ization Of the company's finances, ought
to advance the market price of the COM
pany's stock quite materially"

Our Citizen Sailors,

To-day tho Naval Battalion OF the New

end Bay. to begin their second annual sea-
son OF drill and practical exercises ahoat.
They have been proceeded in this inter

over to Norfolk. where 1t found quarters on
the receiving ship Franklin. and had the
benefit OF the presence. instruction. and

From T-uth

There Is no escape from the logic OF 1t all.
The historical shrieks OF papers and politi-
clans wandering to tho labor vote amount to
nothing. The Noise Is mighty, and tho lying
vast. but through it all ono great fact lodges
In every mans mind. 1t cannot be displaced.
1t is rs cogent with Pinkorton Waterman as
It Is with dynamite throwing mill hand.
A mans property is his own. lie has the
right to enter or leave It, or to take within It's
confines whomsvcr he chooses No agency but
the law has tho right to invade his domain A
qualiflcation'of this right means the destruc-
ton OF tho foundation OF society itsyif.
The Carnegie people bought and held their
property legally. II WAS their own They had
as clear a right to enter or leave il as mill
hand had to enter or leave his own house.
Their right to taEo private watchwcn 10 their
property was as clear as tho right OF a mill
hand to take private Waterman into his own
house. Whom thoy triod to land upon their
own grounds tho mill hands tore down the
barriers. entered and destroyed some Of tho
property OF the owners. and killed the people
who attempted to take possession OF their own.
This is the truth OF IL. aud this is what every
man will feel and know throughout all the
vaporings on this question.

bined naval reserve and the battaiions OF

This new organization Is clear addition
to tho country's naval strength. laken
together with tho plan for adding an
auxiliary fleet OF fast ocean liners, 1t Is
specially useful. For while contracts with
the owners may secure tho chartering or
purchase OF merchant vessels, ana pro-
vide also for their construction or nltera-
ton so as to carry batteries. no stipulation
can be made in advance for cnlisting their
crews. Even II these crews could be trans
ferred from peace TO war service. they would
have no training in tho uso OF heavy guns.
What the naval reserve does is to furnish a
considerable force OF trained gunners for
usc ut once, in m emergency. either on tho
regular war ships or on vessels like the
Inman liners that may be called into service.
II was n happy suggestion to organize
the State National Guards. The whole
problem OF discipline government. and re-
sponsible authority was then at once set
tied on n familiar basis. and certainty took
tho place OF doubt For years tho project
