sion of congress ii is probable the
larger railroad systems entering the
rapidly growing southwest will exert
their influence TO have the territories
included in the union.
It is a matter Of vital interest to
the roads and ii Is said that the Of,
ficials Of the Rock Island, Santa Fe,
Missouri, Kansas & Texas, and other
large systems entering the territories
directly or connecting with the cen.
tiers of traffic there will cooperate
with the people to bring about recog-
milton. After the question of state
hood was taken up for consideration
at the last session of congress those
who favored the move p~rofessed to
feel certain that the next session
would act favorably on it.
That the railroads are taking a
lively interest in the matter is evi-
dencei by the fact that President
Henry G. Rouse of the Missouri, Kan
sas & Texas, has included in his an
nnal statement to the directors an
extended reference to the statehood
question. President Rouse is Of the
opinion that both territories will be
admitted when the matter is again
taken up, and he assures the directors
that such action would mean increased
prosperity to the road. In like man.
ner competing lines would be bene,
flied.
President Rouse points out that
thousands Of people from all parts of
the country would make their homes
IN Oklahoma or Indian territory just
as soon as the state governments
were organized on a substantial basis
and by such a movement to the south
west the railroads would be greatly
benefited. The h~omeseekers' rates
granted ny the roads this season have
been taken advantage OF eagerly, fully
5000 people being carried out Of Chi
cago and st. Louis when the rates
were put into effect a few days ago.
Many Of these made the trip to look
over the ground. In the event or the
territories being admitted to state
hood the railroad oficials are con-
WINGED that the movement to the
southwest would be of exceptional
proportions.
In anticipation OF favorable action.
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas road
has been building extensions and ac-
quiring additional right or way into
the most productive portions Of the
territories. Much Of this work had
to be done because Of the fact that
lines owned by independent interests
which had formerly granted inter-
change and other privileges decided
to operate on their own behalf. The
officials Of these lines, 1t is said, were
actuated by a desire to make the most
Of the looked for increase in business
and the Missouri, Kansas G. Texas
entered upon extensive construction
work in order to meet competition
when the busy season arrived. Pres
ident Rouse the directors
that the money expended in this work
will be amply repaid when the terri
tories are admitted to the Union and
thousands Of homeseekers invade the
southwest.

Perhaps the most remarkable fes-

dent in the postoffice department is the
careful explicitncss Of the letter in

Mr.. Tyner OF what his wife had done.
Why every detail OF the goverDment's s
case should thus be explained to him
for whose benefit. presumably, the
papers were removed from the safe is
beyond ordinary comprehension. par
ticularly as Mr.. Tyner must have been
even better informed about the whole
question than Secretary Payne him
self, who knew nothing except what
he was told by those amazingly

Much Wonder.

Politics makes strange bed fellows,
and when one observes the patting Oh
the back that Grover Cleveland is get
ting now from those who were bitter
in their denunciations it is hut natur-
al to look about for. the connecting
wire.
The Enquirer is vociferously blow
ing its horn for the ex-president. Is
it sincere? Our contemporary has
political reputation that causes the
public to look upon it with suspicion
even when it honestly is barking up
the right tree. Its present change of
heart may be the work of repentant
soul. Its effervescence of exultation
over the gentleman extricating him
self from his innocuous desuetude and
looming portentously on the political
horizon may be the picturesque inn
pressions Of All old fashioned night
mare and fade away ere its victim is
conscious of its own utterances.
1t sees in Mr.. Cleveland great
capacity for leadership and it has its
hat on straight when making that as
sertion II thinks. too, that his
speech on the negro question at the
Booker Washington meeting which
was sort of "alf and air. neither
helping the negro nor hurting the
white man, WAS effective when in fact
1t was = very skillfui dodge, a compro.
mise attitude to which neither side
could object and yet which neither
side would accept AZ satisfactory
solution ON the problem.
With the Antipathy Of the Bryan
followers to Cleveland, with the in
Vulnerable other prominent democrats
in his party fighting him, with the
feeling against third term, with
the hostility to Wall street affiliations
and lastly with his old age affecting
his candidacy unfavorably, Mr. Cleve-
land would not by any means be a
strong candidate against the present
incumbent. Dayton News.

SONG: WHEN FRIENDS ARE
FALSE.

CAe06s
with Music. arranged for the Guitar;
By Linda w. Slaughter.)
When friends are false. how sad is
life,
Though fair the seasons be.
No song nor mirth "a now allure.
Since love has gone from thee.
How dark and chill the earth. alas.
No sunshine sheds a ray
To light the path through lonely
depths
Or glad thee on the way.
When friends are false. no words can
cheer
The heavy heart bowed low,
Dull sorrow brOods; e
The mind is filed with woe.
Life loses all; earth holds no more.
Though full the Golfers be
For love and friends are all Of life
That earth can hold for thee.
When friends are false. the spirit
thinks
Beneath the weight of care;
Till now, none know the load of
grief
The stricken soul can bear.
One hope remains. fer though the
world
Is dark and full Of pain.
Should friends untrue. with love re-
turn
Twill all be bright again.
