WHAT KANsAs WANTs.
New Union Depot Project From Kan
sas City, Kan, Standpoint.


sas City, Kan, Standpoint.
Kansas CITY. April sO.-The various
railroads entering Kansas City have
been furnished with plans for a union
passenger station in the west bottoms.
The plans were drawn under an order
from the Mercantile club of Kansas
City. Kas., and the West Side asso-
citation of Kansas City, Mo. The
plans are an elaboration OF the IDEA
advanced by the Burlington railroad
officials for Il depot on the west
bluffs, the depot and yards adjoining
the bluff and extending from Seventh
street to a point little south OF the
present Twelfth street viaduct with
the track level % feet above the pres
ent track level at the Union dpot.
Copies of the plan have been fur
nished to each one of the railroads
entering Kansas City. 1t is believed
that the Burlington railroad has given
its sanction to the plan and that at
the next meeting of the depot direct
ors the Burlington officials will urge
it's adoption. The persons who have
prepared the plans say that each rail-
road can reach this new station With
out material change in the present
right of way; that the station and all
of its approaches are above flood
tide. The proposed arrangement has
Fl miles of track and s 0 trains can be
operated in the station at one time.
It does not disturb present track con
ditions, leaving the present tracks
available for freight purposes. 1here
are no grade crossings.
The proposed station faces on West
Terrace park and opens into King S
Highway, a proposed roadway along
the bluff extending for mile parallel
to the station building and its APP
proaches. This new highway will
provide ample facilities, it is said, for
street cars and traffic of all sorts.
Aside from the track arrangement the
plan does not differ materially along
Stru ctural lines from the other depot
plans which have been published. 1t
is proposed to vacate Union avenue.

No More PAY For soldIsrs.

From the Detroit Free Press.
Brigadier- General Frederick Funs-
tons recommendation that there should
be a substantial increase in the pay Of
the enlisted men OF the army will un-
doubtedly appeal to those In the SER
vice, but IL viii fail to strike a respon-
sive chord in the public mind. General
Funston declares that an Increase over
present rates Of pay of SO per cent. for
non-commlssioned officers and 30 per
cent. for privates would bring into the
army a vastly superior body Of men
who would remain I'm the service, and
adds that Il Is doubtful II II would
prove more expensive than the present
plan, when so much time and money
are wasted An trying to make soldiers
out Of the inferior class OF men who
constitute at least half OF the rank and
file of the army today"
That the increase recommended
would result I'm attracting e. greater
number of men TO the service is certain.
The pay of non-commissioned officers
and privates Is not conducive to af-
iluence, although higher than Is paid
by other nations. However. until there
has been more general complaint Of in
ability to get a sufficient number Of de-
sirable recruits the necessity OF hold
ing out greater inducements Is not
clear There Is no need OF a large ar
my under existing conditions. Should
such a contingency arise there would
be no difficulty In recruiting any num-
Der OF men I'm a remarkably brief per-
iod OF time, as has been demonstrated
In the past. As to the inferior" class
Of men whom General Funston charges
constitute at least half the rank and
file OF the army there is room for an
honest difference OF opinion. American
troops have always given an account
OF themselves that was anything but
enjoyable to those with whom they
came in contact. and the credita BILE
manner in which they have acquitted
themselves whenever called upon serves
IN the minds of those in private life at
least to belle the charges Of inferiorlty.

MR.. CLEVELAND SPEAKS.

VATHEN Mr.. Cleveland rose TO speak
w in Carnegie Hail. NY, last night
in Carnegie Hall. New York last night
the audience rose at him and cheered
TIN the old man was embarrassed. This
demonstration was natural, for Mr..
Cleveland has lived dlgnined and
blameless life since retiring from the
presidency, and time has softened the
asperitles that We're engendered during
the term Of his public career.
But during his speech Mr.. Cleveland
failed TO contribute anything Of value
to the stock Of campaign arguments.
His presence ON the stump as an advo-
cate of Parker and Davis may have
some slight effect. But his whole argu-
ment consists in negauon. made up
of criticism Of Republican policies and
Of things that have been done and
ended, and which now belong TO his
tory. There is not a new thought and
not a single reason that ne advances
for Democratic success. save that ne
thinks that Republicans have become
overbearing. supercilious and self
satisfied. This can be.answered in one
sentence. The Democrats. too. are
satisfied with what they have done
and with what they are doing, for it il
that which makes them Democrats.
We gather from the remarks Of the
old man. routed out Of HIS retirement
and trotted before the public. that his
sentimental attachment 10 the Demo
cratic party which so slgnally honore'
him on two occasions. Is the real mo-
tive behind his support Of Parker an'

and his efforts viii be harmless.
