privilege of caressing them; and
ready to impeach mayor or coun-
Gilman who dares to even insinuate
that the X. G. is not sovereign Of
all it surveys in our domain.
Should it want the markethouse as
a depository for the few working
tools it uses hereabouts, it has but
to ask it, and we doubt not that til
tie would be passed to it instanter.
Should it take a whimsical notion
that the First Methodist church
would make a suitable blacksmith
shop, it would but have to mention
the fact and an appropriation suit
would be brought at once to recover
it. And only a positive law for
bidding such would deter our pco-
pie from delivering it to the rail-
road. THE PROGRESS confidently
looks forward to the time when our
district Judge, district attorney,
sheriff, clerk, assessor, police jury
and city council, with engineer
thrown in, will all be X. G. men,
and our people will then weep be-
cause there is no.other office of vail
ue that Trey could give to this
great railroad company.
| Yes, friends, give the great and
mighty K.C. credit for some sense.
1t is not reasonable to suppose that
it would give any consideration to
a request Of; our people, when
Shreveport now belongs to it, by
loving donation, and her people
are it's willing slaves.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Correspon dence.

Washington, June 2Sth, 1897.
A stranger at the Capital would
know without being told that the
tariff debate is drawing to a close
in the Senate. The Senators
show it by their general good ma
ture. OF course there a re Sena-
tors to whom the bill, which will
be passed this week, is anything
but pleasing, but it is doubtful
whether there is a single Senator
who does not rejoice to know that
the end is near at hand. Unless
there shall be much greater delay
than is expected in reaching an
agreement as to the Senate amend
ments in conference, the tariff bill
will be law before July 10Th,
and Congress can adjourn by that
date, as it is generally under
stood that no other legislation is
to be attempted at this session.
Senator Harris resolution, de-
claring that the government should
at once redeem the Union Pacific
Railroad from prior liens and
then take steps to foreclose its
mortgage, with an amendment Of
fered by Senator Morgan, request
ing the President to suspend pro-
ceedings to carry into effect the
agreement alleged to have been
made to sell the interests of the
U. S., in the U. P. r. R., and in
the sinking fund, until further &C.
ton of Congress is had in refer
ence thereto, has been favorably
reported to the Senate. Senator
Harris, of Kans., wrote the repor
on the resolution, and he present
ed figures to show that if the pro
posed reorganization is allowed
to go through, the government
will lose quite heavily. The re
port makes what is very near t.
a direct charge against the last ad
ministration Of trying to aid tn
reorganization scheme, and o
Withholding information on the sub

superior monarchs are similarly
petitioned by the same class Of cit
liens several times multiplied in

pressing an opinion loses it's force
so much as to descend to the con-
dition of a trifle only. But then
this Kansas City road should not
be muchly b!amed-from cold
blooded business point of view
and all railroad corporations, Of
nearly all, are as cold-blooded al
train-wreckers. They care nothing
for a people, community or town
