THE RAILWAY SITUATION.

The Kansas railroads are placed be-
tween two fires just now, either one of
which the roads would no doubt have
the public belive Is sufficient to consume
them. There is a universal and pressing
demand for lower rates of charges from
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the state
board Of assessors has raised the assess
ment against the property of the roads
nearly IS per cent. This will give the
roads excuse for two big kicks. They
will cite the first demand as a reason
why the raise made by the board should
not be enforced and will make it as their
plea for relief. And on the other hand
they viii set up the raise in the assess
ment for taxes as an excuse for not COM
plying with the popular demand for low
er rates. Meantime good many people
will hold to the notion that the two
propositions will work together harmo-
niously, and satisfactorily to the roads
if they accept both; that Is to say, with
lower rates the earnings of the roads
would be so greatly increased as not TO
make the raise in the tax assessment a
burden.

THE COMING CAMPAIGN.

Hrronite: The "well-posted- polite
IAN of The MITCHELL REPUBLICAN
overdoes the thing on some points. The
one that claims Public Examiner
Myers as convert to Pettigrew is par
ticularly grim, considering the rela-
tions which have existed between the
two for some thirteen years. If Gov
ernor Sheldon has ever had any aspira-
tions for Senator Pettigrew's place we
doubt if he has ever whispered it to
even the most intimate of his friends.
There is no truer Republican than Gov
ernor Sheldon, and he is evidently
heart and soul in favor Of a Republican
legislature, strong enough to make
senator just to its liking, regardless of
any merely personal ambitions. That
is good ground for all Republicans to
stand upon. If fSenator Pettigrew has any
approach to greatness, he will be salts
fed with that, whatever his ambitions
may be, and do all he possibly can to
bring out that result.
