Name and Character.

Chicago, Nov. 22.-By changing its
name and declaring new principles to-
day the American Railway League has
become full fiedged political organi-
cation. Hereafter it will be known as
the Railway Employees and Telegraph
ers Political League of America. It's
proclaimed object is to deal entirely in
state and national politics, chiefly on
legislative lines. Behind this, however,
is the desire and the determination to
secure recognition, elective and ap-
pointive, for railroad men. This is
shown in the fact that a movement is
on foot to secure the appointment by
President Mckinley of a railroad man
in the Interstate commerce commits
sion. Two hundred delegates were
present from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kentucky, Kansas, Missouri, Pennsyl-
vania, New York and West Virginia.
The reason given for taking a new
name was to divest the organization of
every similarity to the defunct Ameri-
can Railway union.

That River Road.

The road running between the city
aud the river bridge, which has under.
gone considerable repair work during
the pas, two or three weeks, is ut pres.
ent in a very passable condition, es.
pecially as far north of the river bridge
as the money appropriated by the
coanty board would reach, which is
nearly half way to the railroad track.
The mode of fixing the road by digging
= ditch along the east side through
which the water can pass to the river
may be all right In wet weather but
with one week of hot weather and
heavy wind the ditch will be filed full
OF sand, placing the road in as bad con.
dition AS ever and nothing to show for
the money thus expended. The north
half OF the road, which is still ungra d.
ed, is still in a very bad condition, and
with another heavy rain the same con.
dition Of affairs would exist as existed
about the first of July. The quick.
sand which the bed Of the road is COM.
posed OF, needs but n small amount Of
rain with the present soaked condition
OF the country, to make it a veritable
mire hole through which it is impossi-
ole Tor n team to pass. Another thing
IN connection with this road which
should be stopped is allowing all the
refuse water from the round house to
run on the public highway and make
a mud hole the year round. The
water from this place Is allowed to run
over the road and form a mud hole on
the east side which has never known to
be dry, and no attempt has ever been
made to drain it of and at times the
stencil arising thereirom is enough to
make a person sick to ride along the
road. The railroad company should
be compelled either to quit running
this refuse water onto this highway or
be compelled to dig a ditch which
would Il it on toward the river.
Enough money has already been ex.
pended on this one mile of road to al
most have paved it, and it is today in
about as bad a condition as it ever was
in its history and nothing to show for
the money expended. Great oaks from
little acorns may grow, but a good
road between the railroad track and
the liver will never be the result Of a
small appropriation each year and as
soon as the road is fixed so it cannot
wash or blow away just so soon will
the continual drain on the county for
an appropriation cease. The business
men OF this city should see that this
road is fixed and if no other way by
subscriptions among themselves, for as
the road is at present considerable
trade goes to Kansas which would
otherwise come to this city.
