and Nebraska should reach the con-
sumner through Chicago, New York or
Baltimore. 1t is not necessary that the
export cotton of Texas should go to st.
Louis or Atlanta. There is no necessity
for sending the iron product of Ala
bama eastward, when the state has it's
own port of Mobile.
Realizing the future importance of
the gulf ports from a business stand
point the arrangements of the north
and south roads are turning their at
tention to the establishment of steam
ship lines to connect with Mexican,
Central American and West Indian
ports.
st. Louis merchants and railroad men
have united in scheme for the estab-
lishment of a line of steamers to Vera
Cruz and other points on the Mexican
coast. More recently the Kansas City.
Pittsburg & Gulf railroad has inaugiI-
rated a movement for the establishment
of line of steamers to ply between it's
southern terminus and the ports of
Central America and the West Indies.
The time is rapidly approaching when
the producer and the consumer at eth
er end of the line will not be compelled
to submit to the delay and expense of
having what he buys or sells sent all
around Robin Hoods barn.
The South and West will easily be
ready for the Nicaragua canal by the
time it is completed and before unless
more rapid progress is made on it than
has yet been shown.

DISCOVER NEW STARS.
Prof Elias Colbert Talks of the
Yerkes Telescope.

Chicago, Sept. 4.-Much interest was
aroused in scientific circles yesterday
by the report that Prof. Barnard, with
the aid of the new Yerkes lens at Lake
Geneva, had discovered several new
stars.
81 am much pleased to learn that
Prof. Barnard has succeeded in going
deeper into the skies than others have, -
said Prof. Elias Colbert last evening.
THE Yerl1es lens is undoubtedly the
finest in the world, and we may all ex-
pect to hear of some wonderful discov-
cries before long. AS to the specific
discovery credited to Prof. Barnard, 1
am of the opinion that it is of no SEN
Sational value to the scientific world
while I am not belittling Prof. Bar
nard's work, I merely wish to have it
understood that the discovery of a few
companion stars can be of no great
benefit to science, while perhaps they
speak volumes for the instrument with
which they are discovered. The Yerkes
instrument is a splendid affair, and 1
expect some great results from it, I
expected that it would pierce further
into the mysteries of the skies than
any yet produced, and am impa tient1y
awaiting the news Of some important
discovery

NEW ROUTES OF COMMERCE.

The notion which has apparently ex-
listed for a long time that it is neces-
sary for the freight traffic to follow
certain lines established by custom,
seems finally to be in the way of dis
solution. Instead of the bulk of the
nations foreign commerce being crowd
ed through one port as has been the
case for so long, freight traffic is seek
Gng more direct lines of travel.
New York has been losing heavily to-
Baltimore and Philadelphia in export
business. More recently New Orleans
and Galveston have become competitors
of the cities of the eastern seaboard.
Projectors of railroads are beginning
to see and appreciate the tendency of
business to seek more direct routes of
communication and more attention has
been given lately to the building of
north and south lines.

Jerry Mahoney Engaged to Spar With

New York. Sept. 4-Bob Fitzsimmons

Delaware county, as his sparring part

Mahoney is Sc feet tall and weighs 100
pounds. When Joe Goddard arrives in

his lot will not be merry one for a

meet him keep their word
Peter Maher will in all probability be
one of the first to tackle Goddard for

years ago, and this defeat still rankles
in the breast of the IriShman. Billy

REPUBLICAN REPUBLICANS.

The Lawrence Journal says: 1t is
reported from Topeka that Leland
Republican headquarters will be OPEN
ed there soon, to remain open until next
year 1t is to be sincerely hoped that
there will be no Leland Republicans
or Tom Anderson Republicans, or any
other kind of Republicans save and ex-
cept Republican Republicans. 1t is the
inevitable fate of political parties that
are in the ascendancy to have bosses -
petty, puerile fellows who spring up for
a day to undo the work of the honest
patriotic members of the party, and
Kansas is peculiarly adapted to the
culture and progress of such bosses
Kansas has a normal, actual RepubIi-
can majority of from fifty to seventy
FIVE thousand. It should be practically
unanimous in its support of Republican
principles. The reason the voters do
not cast their ballots that way is be-
cause the party has for years been DOM
mated by a lot of petty bosses who
make nominations, county and state,
long in advance of the conventions. 1t
is not the Kansas disposition to be sub
ject to dictation. There is nothing that
so grinds the ordinary worker as to
have a boss call him off and tell him
what he shall do. The results of the
recent state elecIlOhS IN Kansas nave
shown that the voter is not to be die
tated to by any boss, great or small.
If the bosses have not learned of the
danger, then they are not wise. There
IS only one possible hope for the opposf-
ton in Kansas this year or next, and
that is that the bosses will again I'M
dertake to dictate nominations, and a,
revolt will follow. If the bosses will al
low the rank and file of the Republican
party to make the nominations, the
rank and file will take care of the cleo
lions. If the bosses insist upon dictat-
ing the nominations, it is probable that
the bosses will also have to do the vot-

Resolved, That the Republican party
of Colorado unqualifiedly indorseS the
determination of the national Republi-
can party to restore the value of silver
bullion and secure permanent bimeta1-
Hsm by appointing monetary COM
mission to secure an international
agreement. That in appointing Senator
WOlcOtt at the head of said commits
sion and backing the efforts of said
power of the administration, President
Mckinley is entitled to the unanimous
support of all citizens of Colorado who
desire the restoration of silver.
1--WE earnestly commend the efforts of
Senator Wolcott in his active prosecu-
tiOn of the only rational attempt that
has hitherto been made to secure en-
during bimetallism, and we denounce
as Infamous the calumny that has been
heaped upon him by the Democratic
and Populist press.
Resolved, That we cordially welcome
to our ranks those Republicans who
temporarily stepped outside the party
to vote for the free and unlimited coin
age of silver, but who now believe that
only through the Republican party can
bimetalliSm be established and main
tained.''

system that builds up an official class,

consequence of the firing of several vol

blockade of the island, which is now
considered useless.
