1t is ignificant that some of the

voting TO be done, and that silver is

ABOUT THAT EASTERN CONNECTION

President Rouse, of the Missouri.
Kansas and Texas road, in writing to
Il gentleman in this city regarding the
recent movement here looking to
connection with his road, said that for
years his company had had their eye
upon Wichita and the Arkansas valley.
and that two years ago the matter had
been placed before him 10y some gentle
man from Wichita, but that before any
definite arrangements could be made
the panic came, and never since have
railroad companies seen their way
clear To make any very extensive out
lays. 1t has further developed that
the point at which the Missouri. Kan
saS and Texas road crosses the Ar
kansas river in the territory could be
made the hasing line. Is the river Is
navigable to that point OF course
The protesterS to the plan Of building
this connection went of half-cocked
and were ignorant of many things
that they might have known had they
used little bit of sense. And rs they
assumed II pay All the taxes they
had right IL make mistakes when
they footed the bills. But it is dawn
Ing upon some Of the people of Wichita
that the plan of laying prone upon their
backs and waiting for the Lord 20 MI

that the delay has been expensive and
has kept back the interests OF the city

THE FACTS OF THE CASE.

The Ell Dorado Republican thinks
that most of the railroad agitation
comes from political demagogues, and
thinks that if the railway companies
whenever one of these SO-called states
men is demanding railroad legislation,
would give to the public his inside pol
itical history, his comings and goings
and -doingS in former years, there
would be a great subsistence in this
SenseleSS howl by these reformers.
TO this the AtchisOn Champion adds:
1.-The exact truth is that most dangerous
middle man is the pesteriferous politi-
clan who poses as the friend of the peo-
pie and is hardly warm In his legislative
seat before he has opened negotiations
with the lobby to sell his vote for con-
sideration. If such creatures We're not
elected as legislators there would be no
lobby. The agents of the corporations
know exactly the price of such fellows
and they are purchsead mighty cheap
as rule.
kansas railroads are having all they
can 90 to keep out of the bankrupt courts
and assault upon their credit or cutting
off their legitimate earnings is a blow at
Kansas prosperity Railways are pub
lie necessity. Political demagogueS are
a public evil. The law should regulate
railway traffic but it must not destroy
