Indications Of Lively Time. En
Railway building This sca>On.
From the Kansas City Star.
From the reports that come in from the
Southwest. railway building has taken a
sudden start in New Mexico. The proba-
bility of the extension of the Santa Fe
Southern to Albuquerque by way of Ceril-
los and San Pedro has stirred up the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe and that company
has already commenced work Oh branch
from its main line at Cerillos out to the
coal fields and San Pedro. Engineers were
yesterday put to work on the proposed ex-
tension of the Carthage branch of that sys-
tenn to White Oaks and another corps Of
surveyors have been sent to SOcOrrO to run
line for the extension of the Magdalena
branch toward the Beach range. Encour-
aging reports are also received in regard to
the early commencement of work on the
line from Albuquerque to the Northwest,
and everything now indicates that very
lively times are at hand in railway circles
and that the present year will witness more
building than has been done for ten years

THE MORAL OF THE MILL.

We are pupils i'm the school of nature
where every object is a lesson. This les.
son must be learned. 1t is the task Of our
lives. We may not now or ever know how
to apply it in the great, unknown future,
but we find ourselves in the present, each
of us having five senses and each of these
demanding exercise. Sternly ignoring
what we call our sovereign will. they en,-
ploy themselves in receiving and transport
ing sensations from the material world
around to the mental world within. Let
US yield to this instinct without a question
but that its ultimate use will be found in
the economy of the Infinite.
These lessons are all d0uble-as our
lives. One part of each life has for its
purpose the maintenance of the same
identical animal nature of the very first
man that ever was, while the other part
feeds that of which evolution will yet
make god. This is called our moral ma
tnre. Everything that touches us, through
our senses. throws into our mental diges-
ton something to be assimilated for the
life-blood Of this divine quality.
The great moral of the mill is Industry.
Its ceaseless, almost nOiseless hum is a re.
fex of the emusic of the Spheres" where
eternal space is full of eternal work. For
ever and forever the labor Of constructive
nature is continued. From everlasting
unto everlasting the busy hand of divine
OmnipOtence repairs the ravages of time
amid the suns and planets of illimitable
space. The busy beneficence Of nature is
always quiet. When she destroys it is
done with the crash Of thunderbOlt or
the shock of an earthquake.
Beneficence is the likeness of the mill to
Mother Nature. Other work shops forge
the heavy tools whereby want is aided in
earning the slaves pittance at compulsory
toll. Others build the engines of death
for the fiery field of war; but the mill
transmutes the golden grain into the near
est approach to the ''staff of life"
Its kind and beneficent industry inspires
the whole neighbOrhOOd. and thrift and
comfort replace destitutiOn AMI disease.
1t gives ont a sense of security against the
wolf that haunted the door of the home
in the days past, and prompts us to exer-
else all the arts that hold sway while BROOD
ing Peace plucks the snowy plnmes from
her loving breast to warm the nest of
Plenty.

HYPOCRISY DEFINED.

The Times Ensign last week de
voted two column editorial to inflict-
ing upon the editor Of this paper the
title of ''Pecksniff." The good Bro.
Cline has evidently wearied of apply
ing the term "cadaver," and now re-
rorts to this new and appalling in
Fiction. Since he occupied two weeks
in celebrating upon and preparing
the article, the opprobrious epithet
was undoubtedly adopted in spirit
bf relentlessness. We. therefore,
bare our neck to this new yoke of
humiliation, and peacefully submit to
the inevitable.
In this connection We are charged
with being hypocritical. This paper
is not sufficiently disinterested to pass
upon the truth or falsity of such an
accusation. We do not feel that in
ward assurance of perfection that in
fates the immaculate personality of
our esteemed contemporary. On the
contrary, we are fully cognizant of
our many faults, among which may
appear that most contemplate moral
deformity, hypocrisy.
If we make long unctious prayers
in public places of worship and then
GO out among hotels and grocery
houses asking credit with the inten
ton of indefinitely postponing pay
ment, or requiring the creditor to
accept inferior Job work in liquida-
ton; if we enter secret societies obi
gated by vows rever to reveal the Sc

it to the world on the pretext that
another brother has violated his obi

Irrigation for western kansas.

| 1OH " C1teHn AomS0Ss
Special Correspondence of the Capital.
WASHINGTON, d. c., February 1.-The
Kansas delegation is making strong effort
to secure favorable action on the PROPOSE
ton to make an appropriation to carry on
the irrigation investigation in Kansas and
other western states. The amount asked
is reasonable, aud it is believed that Con-
gress is inclined to do something in this
direction.
Senator Perkins said to-day: slam sure
this irrigation question is one that deeply
concerns the western part of Kansas. We
contend that We are entitled to assistance in
this direction. Congress has been appro-
priating millions of dollars every year to
the improvement of rivers anc harbors; a
large share Of this money benefits individ-
uals only. Kansas and other western states
ought to have an appropriation at least
large enough to give irrigation proper
trial, and l propose to do what can in that
direction"
The work DINE so far by the general gov
eminent in the matter Of irrigation inyes-
LEGATIONS, through the department of agri-
culture, has consisted almost wholly of the
collation. of facts developed by the expert
ences OF the people of the arid and semi
arid regions east Of the Rocky mountains.
This portion Of the arid region embraces
portions of the two DakOtas, Montana, Wv
Omiug, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, New
Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. Owing o.
the smallness of the appropriations, little
could be done in the way of practical ex-
pertinent or demonstration. A little has
been done in this line, however, in South
Dakota, where couple of stations were
established to teach the farmers the meth
DDS to be followed in applying water to
their fields. The value Of these trifling
demonstrations has been very great. and so
striking as whole that Col. E. S. Nettle-
ton. who has these stations in hand, esti-
mates that each 100000 thus expended
has added half million dollars to the ac-
tllal value Of real estate in South Dakota
and encouraged hundreds Of people to hold
on to their lands who would otherwise have
abandoned them. despairing of ever max
ing agriculture IA success there. The great
er part of the work. however, has consist
cd of the collection Of facts relating to the
existence, extent, availability and value of
the supplies of water for use in irrigation
in Kansas and the region mentioned.
Judge George w. Gregory. Of Garden
City. who has charge of the investigation
of the sllbterranean water resources of the
mid.plain, embracing western Kansas, Ne
braska and klahOMa and eastern Colorado,
is spending Il part of the winter in WASH
ington in the interest of irrigation legisla-
ton. He says the Investigations already
made undoubtedly warrant the government
in making further appropriations in that
direction, and any judiciot,s expenditure
will, he believes, pay largely.

The speeches were well received, es-

for our acknowledgements.
Pratt county was settled in the main by
people from Mcpherson county, "Fsrmer"

Of the day.

The Peoples party rally at Pratt, Au-

large crowd, estimated all the way from
1000 TO 5000, was present, and they were
not all women and children, either. A

TO the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.
Despite the hot weather and the short
notice, our Peoples party picnic held in
Wilcox's grove, on August 16 last, was
in every respect a success. The object
was to get acquainted with each other,
and raise money for the campaign fund.
By half past 10 a. m. the chairman called
the people by ringing common dinner
bell. The blessing was invoked by Rev.
Burdette, then music by the band, then
an address by F. G. Brooks, formerly Of
Seventh Kansas volunteer cavalry, and
until recently a republican wheel-horse,
with the harness-mRrks yet on him. He
evinced the ardor of one of the "old
guard" Then came an address by Mrs.
Seaman, of Aurora, Kas. She told in
plain yet eloquent language Of the hard
ships endured by the farmers wives.
Next came F. A. Thompson, who showed
that in Ireland they have practically had
one feature of the Sub-treasury for more
than three years. Then came Joseph
Henky, editor of Farmers Voice, at Clyde.
He raked the "plutes" fore and aft. Then
music, and unhitched one hour for din
ner; and, Mr.. Editor, folks don't starve at
a Peoples party picnic-not this year.
Promptly at / o'clock the chairman rang
his bell, and after music by the band, A.
r. May, Peoples candidate for Judge Of
the Twelfth judicial district, was intro
duced, and In q speech Of nearly one
hours length showed the people he was
a lsvel-headed, conservative man. Then
came A. G. Pattee, probate judge Of
Saline county. He is what might be
called q RATHER. He dealt the "plutes

came ]. NJ. Hsgaman, editor Of the Blade.
He had a new subject, the tariff, and he
treated 1t uniquely. He admitted all
Mckinley claims for protection, then
turned around and skinned him most
numerically. Then Mrs. Woodman
was introduced. She plainly showed
how and why the women are
so much interested in this great

men first asked for reform at certain
places June II last. The compsny's
officers refused to listen to anything.
They have the idea that they can drive
the men and frighten them into submis-
sion, but they are mistaken. Switchmen
can not be driven. There is no question
of the justice of their demands. These

On the 18th the Nlckle Plate men
Joined the strikers, and the Brotherhood
Of Firemen threatened to quit work. The
Albany battalion of state troops, consist"
ing OF 495 men, and several other regi-
ments were brought to the scene of the
trouble, and at one time a bayonet
charge was made on q crowd of 1000
people who were on the side of the strik-
ers. Only one man was killed. Gov.
Flower ordered the mobilization of 5000
state troops, and 300 Plnkerton men were
sent to Sayre that day.
Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers, was called to
Buffalo by telegraph Friday, owing to
the possibility of the engineers being in
volved In the switchmen'S strike. One
Of the prominent officials Of the brother
hood said: "While we want to see every
thing fair and square between the men
and the company, there is now very
good feeling between the four orders

tralnmen-and they naturally help each

sarily by striking, but In other ways.

Latest reports indicate no significant
changes in the situation at Buffalo.
Grand Master Sargent, of the Firemen's
Brotherhood, Is on the ground, but up to
Monday had given no assurance that his
order would Join the strike.
Mr.. Powderly was interviewed at

Rederate soldiers were kindly remem-
bered.
Whether or not the blue and gray
have mingled, let's read on page 497,
Vol. II, General Grant says: II was &C
companied by my staff and other officers,
some of whom seemed to have great
desire TO 60 inside the confederate lines.
They finally asked for permission OF Lee
to do 80 for the purpose Of seeing some
of their old army friends, aud permission
was granted. They went over, had a
pleasant time with their old friends and
brought some Of them back with them
when they returned. When Lee and l
separated he went back to his lines and l
returned to the house of Mr.. McLRin.
Here the officers of both armies came in
great numbers and seemed to enjoy the
meeting as much as though they had
been friends separated for a long time
while fighting battles under the same
flag." Was this fraternal feeling one OF
temporary moment, or did It continue to
exist and give demonstrations OF It's per-
manencyV In an interview q few days
before his death with the ex-confederate
General Buckner, Grant said: ~ have
witnessed since my sickness just what l
wished to sec ever since the war-har-
mony and good feeling between the sec
tions." General Buckner, who had sur
rendered to Grant at F. Donelson, shortly
sfteFward said, In reference to the inter
view with Grant: "Those are noble senti-
ments Of genuine patriotism, and show
that. General Grant has only the good of
his country at heart in the last moments
Of his patriotic life"
That the sentiment expressed In this
interview may be exemplifed, l turn to
page 553, Vol. II Of his "Memoirs," where
the following is found In the conclusion
OF his history: ~ feel that we are on the
eve Of q new era, when there Is to be
harmony between the federal and con-
federate. I cannot stay to be living
witness to the correctness Of this
prophecy; but l feel it within me that it
ls to be 90. The universally kind feeling
expressed for me at time when it was
supposed that each day would prove my
last, seemed TO me the beginning Of the
answer, Let US have peace"
That the confederate soldier fully re-
clprocated these sentiments among the
last writings Of General Grant one has
only to scan the llst Of names Of the six
distinguished persons who acted as pail
bearers at the last sad rites performed In
memory Of the world'S> great general to
find among them the names of the ex-
confederate generals, Buokner and Joe
Johnston, followed by the old Virginia
troops clad in the gray of many battles.
With charity for all and bearing malice
to none, let every patriot think well on
the objects and purposes Of the ambi-
tlous partisan political ofice-Seeker, no
matter whether in blue OK gray, who
dares cross the threshold Of an old SOL
dIers' reunion to stir up sectional strife
for partisan ends. Consider well the
welfare and happiness of all, and, IL ne
ceaslty demands 1t, "Put out the lights"
that goad on his ambition.
