Plan OF Kansas City Merchants TO Make the
Railroads Lower Their Rates.

Railroads Lower Their Rates.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 2.-If the plans Of
Kansas City merchants who are not satisfied
with the rates charged by the railroads
do not go awry steamboating on the Mis-
souri,, long regarded az q lost occupation.
will be resumed.
The Missouri has a reputation for being
a steamboat graveyard. IN n bend of the
river not far below this city eight steamer
went down in two years in the palmy days
before the railroad.
The river channel is always shifting, and
this leaves sand bers and snags to catch
even the most skilful Of pilots. "A mar NAV

back on the return the main stream may be

when the insurance companies refused to
Issue risks upon any Of the boats. Inas-
much as the boats cost all the way from
$4,000 to SIS 900, no one has been found to
engage In steamboating on the Missouri
in uninsured vessels, altough under the old
freight and passenger schedules it required
only about four round trips to get back he
first cost Of the boat.
There is still a big feet Of boats going out
OF st. Louis every week, Kansas City
some of these steamboat men to run between
Kansas City ap5 st. Louis, but they won't
do it. They advise the jobbers to buy a boat
and operate 1t.
Their objections are no longer founded
on the condition Of the river, but upon
commercial conditions. They could not
exact an arbitrary rate from customers
as in The days before the railroad, and as fast
as one customer was secured for a steam.
boat the railroads would lure him away
witt lower rates.
Several years g Kansas City jobbers
got uneasy about the railroad rate sItua-
ton and started three boats IN competition.
The railroads reduced rates as long as the
stockholders kept the boats going, but
when they tired Of a losing investment and
sold out rates began again to creep up
ward.
The new plan is to build but one boat
and use that as a club not only to make
the railroads reduce rates, but also to keep
them down. As long as rates were salts
factory the boat would remain tied up
When they went upward the boat would be
put into service.
Just now the men behind the project are
lose. Under the three boat plan it was
often found that stockholders insisted
upon loading them up with their own low
rate freight and lettire high rate freight
that belonged to others lie upon the wharf.
Engineers have been at work and have
reported that the Missouri Is not so dan
gerous at IT once was. Navigation has
improved, boatmen know more and are
less reckless, and the engineers have found
in many instances. There Is ssven feet 81
water all the way from Kansas City to st.
Louis, and @ 500 ton boat that would draw
twenty-six tnchee Of water when empty
and no more than six feet when loaded
would Oil the bin.

AN ART MIssIoNARY's DIsCouRAoEMENTs.
Fortunately for the real estate pa per's
prediction referred to. Prof. Hamlin is as
vigorous in action as in speechand not easily
defeated. Although a trine discouraged
over the obtuseness OF the general public
to the aesthetic needs Of New York, he has
not the smallest intention Of modifying his
plans on that account.
THE eyes of the public must be opened,
the public taste must be educated to a point
where it will I've eager to cooperate in any
plan to beautify the city, declare Prof.
Hamlin, which is ooura geous indeed, when
offset with q previous statement Of his

this committee in behalf OF specific decora-

or Indifference 80 complete as to be utter

had conceived possible 4these constitute
the untoward conditions which nave OPP

hope is slowly but surely coming into view
on the municipal horizon. In reoounting

The fact that the mind of is easily distracted

POEM.

Tell me not in mournful numbers,
Printers lives are only dreams
Statements only help the
slumbers
Of delinquents, so it seems.
Debts are long, and Time is fleet
ing,
Appetite is bold and strong.
Wife and children still are eating,
But we cannot say how long.
Trust no moreno, not another
Trusting is a game of chance,
Even though it be brother,
Have him pay it in advance.
Lives Of printers all doth show us
Just what ours will be one day,
If delinquents who now owe us
Fail to come up with the pay.
Let US then be up and doing,
Let there be no game of chance
Have each reader when renewing
Pay his dollar in advance =
Exchange.

CARD OF THANKS.

The editor of this paper would
be the last man on earth to
knowingly say a word to hurt
the feelings Of any Of its SUBJ
seribers or citizens, especially at
a time when the dark winged
messenger of death has brought
sorrow to the home, but from the
best of motives we desire to :call
the attention of our readers to
the custom of publishing cards
OF thanks. ;" 1t is a custom that
has outgrown its purpose, if it
ever had one. When sickness
and death comes to your home it
is only natural that your friends
and neighbors should do what
they could to assist you. They
would be heathens if they did
not. They know from the ex-
preston of your face that you
are thankful and deeply appre-
ciate all they do, and it is not
necessary to rush into print and
tell the world that your neigh
bors were kind when you were
in trouble. The reading public
are becoming tired Of the old
stereotyped card of thanks.
You can express to your friends,
by a look or word your thankful
ness in a more impressive man.
ner than you can in a column of
cold type.
