THE HOPPERS
ARE NOT CERTAIN THEY WILL
BE IN THE X. \. r.
Little Has Been Done There To-
wards Preparing for the
Season.

II has been claimed that Hopkins
Vile. after all, might not be mem
Der of the X. /. T. league. The
Hopkinsville New Era virtually adj
mits It, in the following:
"While all this is being done and
Hopkinsville has deposited her guar
antee of 5000 Il is not yet a settled
fact that this city will be repre-
scented by a team. for as yet no sub
scriptlon has been taken and with
out generous help from the citizens
the team will not have sufficient
backing to carry It through the sea-
son. Subscription lists will probably
be started within a few days and as
the baseball spirit seems to be
deeper this year than either of the
two preceding seasons It is not
thought that there will be any trou-
BILE on this score"
Not much has been done in Hop
kinsvlle towards preparing for the
season. but Neighbors, OF Ripley,
Tenn. and Welterwood, OF Newport,
Ind, have been signed and CORES
pondenee is on with several other
players. Taeks PARROT, formerly OF

is thought. however, that both towns
will come in before that time.
The matter of schedule was also
talked of and the schedule of last
year seeming to be the most popular
will be recommended for this year.
Each city will be asked to submit a
schedule to the committee and the
successful town will be given a prize
of $25 for the schedule arranged
and accepted.
The matter of taking in new towns
in event Hopkinsville and Hender-
son do not come in is easily settled
as Bowling Green, Jackson, Tenn,
and Owensboro are clamoring to get
in and may jump at the chance.

The verdict of not guilty in the
case of Judge Swayne. of the United
States court of the northern district
of Florida. whose trial for impeach-
ment has just been concluded, will
cause the public to lose more faith
in free government. Swayne was
one of those bullies, clothed with ju-
dicial ermine, who, because of his
position, oyerrode all proprieties;
subjected men, of whom he was not
an equal, to unjust and ignoble inn
prisonment. and exercised authority
which is not comprehended as be
longing even to those sitting in the
judiciary of this country. His high
handed and overbearing methods
equalled those of Lord George Jeff-
ries. and an indignant people, both
north and south, who respect and
would safeguard their individual
rights, had hoped that the senate
would forget its partisanship and
mete out to him condemnation and
conviction. That he should be for
ever disbarred from sitting as a
judge is unquestionable, and how.
in the face of the testimony. he Sc
cured verdict of acquittal is beyond
human knowledge.

ALL-RAIL ROUTE

Men prefer to travel in this day
and generation by rail. 1t is the best
means of transportation and few pre-
fer to travel long distances by wagon
or stage when they can secure the
comforts of railroad transportation.
Grand Junction has an all-raiI
route into the Uintah Indian reserva-
ton, the lands of which will be
thrown open for settlement Septem-
of entry are wagon trails, and hence
are not attractive to those who would
make the trip to the lands.
There is everything in favor of
this city being made the place a
which settlers may make their fill
ings on those lands. The most di-
rect and easiest route to the lands
begins at Grand Junction. You can
board the cars in this city, ride to
Mack, % miles, change cars and ride
a distance of 81 miles to Dragon,
and you are then on the borders of
the reservation. A ride of 80 miles
over good road brings you to Fort
Duchesne, the heart of the reserva-
tion.
In the article published yesterday,
showing the relative distances to the
lands on the reservation, it was
shown what obstacles confronted
those who would go to Duehesne via
Price or Heber, Utah. These routes
are not half so inviting as is the
route which provides for only a short
ride by wagon to reach the heart of
that great region.
The very earnest efforts of every
citizen of Grand Junction should be
through this city. 1t is the most
practicable and the best Quitting
point. Other places in Utah are work
ing hard to secure the location of
the land office. but why should the
secretary of the interior entail the
hardship upon intending settlers of
making them travel hard journey,
when. by making this city the point
of entry. they can have an almost all
rail route to the Ell Dorado?
1t is said that the Uintah railroad
will be extended this summer, in
time for the opening this fall, direct
ly to Fort Duchesne. In that case
settlers can go directly to Fort Du-
chesne and eliminate travel by wagon
entirely.
The matter is a most important
one. and one which will not permit
of any delay whatever. We must
fight if we would obtain any bene-
fits from the opening of this great
territory of virgin lands. Nothing
is ever gained by waiting. Nor is
it true that much comes to those who
depend on natural conditions, even
though they offer great advantages.
The race is to the swiftest and those
who see the opportunity and grasp
1t. What to do; how to do 1t, must
be evolved by others. The function
of the press is to arouse and awaken
the interest, to canvass fully the con
ditions and present them in the best
possible manner to the public. This
has been done. so far as The Senti-
mel is able. 1t would like to see a
concerted movement upon the part
of the citizens generally to start the
tide of travel in this direction and
reap the many benefits which must
come from this city being made the
great Quitting point for all that
country.
