A Survey for SpringfieId's Trolley Rail-
road.

Springfield people are thoroughly in ear
nest on the project of building an electric
road from their town to Charestown, n.
H., and preliminary survey of the route
is now being made. 1t is proposed to build
the road of standard steam guage that
freight may be taken from the Boston 81
Maine road at Charlestown in the cars in
which it was originally loaded and hauled
to Springfield. People from Rutland are
also interested and will assist il it is decided
to build the road. The heaviest expense
would be the erection of bridge across
the Connecticut. Boston capitalists have
agreed to build and equip the road if the
owners of the franchise will present that to
them, but it seems to be the opinion that a
local control of the road is to be preferred

Fruit in Cole County.

The meeting Of the HORTICULTURAL
society that took place in this city
some weeks ago, and the subsequent
publication in this paper, OF a num-
Der of able articles that had been
prepared and read before the society
il carefully read by our readers should
have satisfied them that Cole county
is especially well adapted for fruit.
The profitable culture Of the apple,
pear and peach orchards were thor
oughly discussed, and the evidence
was sufficient to satisfy almost every
ono that, at least in apple orchards
large fortunes could be realized.
Cole county has the soil and climate
especially adapted for the Bon Davis
apple, and IL a half dozen large
orchards were planted, this world
would prove to be n Of the best
apple counties in the state. 1t is
we'll known that apple buyers
buy the fruit on the tree,
and pick it and ship il
themselves. The farmer who raises
fruit has no trouble whatever in find
ing a market. It would be a grea'

The Farmers.

The farmers throughout the west
feel in some way that the world is
out of joint. The corruption in
legislation is conceded on all hands,
and the poverty Of the farmer and
his decreased Importance in the
world is also apparent to a casual OBJ
server. That this is so is perplexing
not only to the farmer, but to others
who realize that with the downfall of
the tiller of the soil the very foun-
dation of the government is endan.
gered.
We believe that one Of the greatest
sources Of trouble with the agricul.
tural classes is the indiscriminate
purchase by them Of all new pat.
ented farm machinery. This ma.
chinery is sold to them on time
payments, and before they are able
to pay for it the machinery is worn
out and they have worn themselves
out in trying to pay for it. In adj
dition to this, the farmer does no,
take such good care Of his farm ma.
chinery as is conducive to its W
usefulness. When the reaper has
performed its work, he usually finds
shelter for it under u friendly tree,
where it remains until the next har.
vest. Thus exposing it to the rain
and sunshine and all kinds of weather
shortens its life fully n e-third. II
the farmer would buy less expensive
new patented machinery and house
it better, n Of the misfortunes tina
he has to grapple with would disap
pear New machinery seems to b.
the craze of the country. Their,
seems to be a craze for labor saving
machinery, and it has invaded ever,
business as well as the farm, The
single taxer advocates that all pat,
ented articles should belong to tn,
go aernment, and there may be NOR,
sound doctrine in this than the poo
pie generally believe. But if tn,
farmer will commence by shutting
off the machinery vender, and TAX,
good care Of that which he has, h,
will find that his burden will not b,
near so heavy.

The Fellow Servant Law.

For many years past a corrupt
railroad lobby has been stationed at
Jefferson City for the purpose of de-
feating the passage of a affair and
honest fellow servant law. The rail-
road companies are bled by these
lobbyists, who use the railroad passes
and the money Of the railroads os-
tensihly for the purpose Of defeating
the fellow servant law, when in fact
they are into every corrupt job that
finds itself knocking at the legislati,e
doors. The fellow servant law has
been demanded by the railroad en-
ployees in this state for twenty
years. That a just fellow servant
bill could he adopted that would be
fair to the corporations aud also fair
to the laborer is conceded on all
hands, but the railroad lobby
is opposed to adopting a fair
fellow servant bill because it
would leave them out of m
ployment. 1t is the carcass they
pick every two years, and without it
they should be at a great loss to know
what to do. 1t has even been as
serted that tools of these lobbyists
introduce these fellow servant bills
bienally in sordcr to enable tht
railroad lobby to fleece the railroads
themselves. After securing its intro
duction, of course, they notify the
men at headquarters that
money is necessary in order to
defeat it. How much goes into the
pockets Of the lobbyists and how
much into the pockets of the mem.
bers and senator's is hard to tell, but
it can safely be asserted that the
lobby usually comes out much better
than the members themselves.
The house passed a fellow servant
bill and sent it to the senate where it
was buried. The senate passed one
and sent it to the house where it also
found an untimely grave. Thus the
record between the people and the
corporations is made up.

CAPITAL REMOVAL.
Jefferson City May Get the Support
of the South Central Counties.

That the state capital removal pro-
position is coming before the people
for their decision is now a settled fact.
Also that Sedalia is going to make a
hard fight for it and have strong sup.
port from many counties cannot be
denied. If Jefferson City sleeps on
its rights it will certainly lose the
capital, but if it stirs itself and takes
advantage Of circumstances and its
situation, it can still hold its vantage
ground. To do this thought it mus,
una every part or this state possible
to it by some strong tie. And the
first thing for it to do is to extend the
railroad leading south on through the
counties of South Missouri and We
would guarantee it the support of
Laclede, Wright and Douglass coun-
ties if they are tappod by this south
ern railroad. And their support
would have great weight with other
southern counties, and decide without
doubt, in connection with the north
ern counties the fate Of the measure.
jefferson City should think well over
this proposition.--Manslield Mail.
