' Another Co-operative Colony. The Co-operative Brotherhood, which is by all odds the strongest co-operative organization in the United States, is pre paring to locate a co-operative colony in southeastern Kansas. A splendid location has been selected in one of the most fertile vaileys in the vest, on a beautiful stream which affords an extensive and never-failing watet If our government owned the railroads we could go from ban f rancisco to uos- tonforflO. Look at the prooi: Uncle Sam pays the railroads not quite 1275 to transport a loaded postal car from Boston to San Francisco. A pas- wmrer car will carry fifty passengers, which at $10 each, would be f 500, or a jlean profit of f 225 a car. and this, too, after paying 5 ger cent on watered stock, which is fully 100 per cent on the sost of the roads. To show how our railroads have wat- red their stock, look at the New York Dentral & Hudson River railroad, which, when the Vanderbilts obtained control n 18G9. was capitalized at f 40,000,000. power which is already in operation and They at once watered it up to $1)0,000,- L. ! -t. 1 l.

In addition to a good public school, the colonists will have the benefit of a good academy which is already built aud will be open for students next fall. The colony townsite will be one mile from the railroad station on a level plat eau overlooking the river valley and about 150 feet above the river. Several thousand dollars in money and good property has been listed by the brotherhood to start with, and every thing is being placed on a solid business basis.

It would be extremely unsafe for him to venture into the disturbed country without an armed escort and the Porte seemed disinclined to furn ish such an escort even though re quested to do so by Mr. Terrell, speaking for the president It is probable that the United States min ister will persist in his efforts to in duce the Porte to accede to this re quest, and if it should be finally re fused, Mr. Jewett will still under take the-inquiry with which he is charged and the Turkish government will be held responsible for his safety, for the state department can not con cede the riffht of a foreign nation to prevent its officers from collecting in formation for its own use and guid ance.

The Burlington Route is a notable ex ception to the general run of western railroads. During a period when railroad build ing in this country has been almost at a standstill, it has been steadily pushing forward its northwest extension and now takes much pleasure in announcing ita completion to Billings, Mont.,;838 miles from Lincoln. At Billings connection is made with the Northern Pacific Railroad and, under a traffic agreement with that company, business of all classed is exchanged there, or, more properly speaking, rooted through that point to and from every station on or reached via the Northera Pacific and Burlington Systems. This New Short Line for that is ex actly what it is reduces the distance be tween Lincoln, Kansas City, St. Louis aud the territory south and southeast of those cities, on the one band, and Mon tana, Northern Idaho and Puget Sound points, on the other, all the way from 50 to 473 miles. It thus becomes an im portant factor in bringing the vast scope of country served by the Northern Pncific into closer relationship with tne Missouri and Mississippi Valleys. Just to illustrate things: The new Short Line saves 294 miles between Lincoln, Omaha and Helena, 224 miles between Lincoln, Omaha and Butte, 371 miles between Lincoln, umana ana Spokane, 54 miles between Lincoln, umana anc , Tacoma, 49 miles between Lincoln, umana ana Seattle. The New Line has been constructed la a most substantial manner. Excellently ballasted, laid with the heaviest steel upon more than the usual nnmberof ties, it equals the best and oldest portions ot the Burlington System. People whose opinion is wortn navrag, pronounce it superior to any new track ever bnilt in the western states. The train-service will consist of Pull man l'aiace Bleeping tars, reaming Chair Cars (seats free), and Standard Burlington Route Day Coaches, Omaha and Lincoln to Billings daily. As a Scenic Route the New Lane takes high rank. The rich farms 01 eastern and central Nebraska; the more sparsely settled country that lies between Ravenna and the boundary line separating Nebraska and Sonth Dakota; the canons, peaks and swelling meadow-lands of the Black Hills, the wonderful -Devil's Tower" the irrigated districts of northern Wyoming; Custer Battlefield; the picturesque wind ings of the Little Big Horn; the glorious valleys of the great Crow Indian Reser vation all these are seen Irom the car window.
