Wednesday evening last J: F;
Barnard, Gen'l Superintendent and
George Olds, Gen'l Freight Agent of
the K. C, St. Joseph & C. B. Rail
road, visited our city regarding the
proposed branch of that road from
Phelps to Brownville. These gentle
men conferred with many of our bus
iness men respecting the matter, and
departed next day with a very good
impression toward our city, people
and the contemplated enterprise.
They came as all railroad men come,
Hsklng for aid. Said they expected
Brownville to dosome thing, but bad
no particular amount to demand as a
condition. Mr. Bernard said "Now,
talk this over among yourselves and
when you have decided what helpyou
can give us, let me know.' We think
the largest sum of money they can get
hs aid is not their object so much as
the friendship of our people and some
evidence that an expenditure of about
twenty thousand dollars tofetoh their
road to our city would be duly appre
ciated. Therefore in furtherance of the en
terprise, a meeting of our citizens was
held in the court room last Friday
evening. At the hour of meeting the
court room was filled with all classes
of citizens merchants, mechanics,
professionals, and laborers, all deeply
interested in the matter in hand. J.
H. Broady, Esq., was called to the
chair and stated the object of the
meeting, following with some very
pertinent remarks favorable to the
project. John Ij. Carson, then being
called, made a statement of the results,
so far, of the visit of himself and Mr.
Broady to the representative men of
the K. C, St. Joseph & C. B. R. R.,
and of the Q. M. & P. road. The gist
of Mr. Carson's remarks was that the
two companies received the Brown
ville representatives cordlally-and en
tertained their suggestions with favor
and that full and satisfactory arrange
ments had been made, through the
agency of Messrs. Carson and Broady
for the occupancy and use of the Q.
M. & P. franchise, right of way and
road bed from Brownville to Phelps,
by the K. C. company, until such
time as the former company should
want it for their own use; that all
things were lovely and regular up to
this time, and all that was wanted for
a consummation of the enterprize,
and our oity to make sure of securing
the road, was for our citiaens- to put
their riameB to a subscription paper
which would be presented, with such
sums as thoy felt able and willing to
give. Mr. Carson spoke warmly in
favor of the project, which was receiv
ed with applause by the meeting.
Mr. Carson was followed by brief,
pertinent speeches from Judge Stull
Bausfield, Bailey, .Furnas, Nickell,
Lett, Dr. McPherson, Jas. Stevenson
and it was a general speaking meet
ing, the case being presented in every
possible favorable phase and color.
We would like to give a synopsis of
all the remarks had we time and space
to spare. Mr. George Harmon, of the
Transfer Company, made a good
speech. Being called out toward the
last, he said he thought there had
been about enough talk, "Now let us
to business let us show our faith by
our works ; I'll Tgive two hundred
dollars, just to get this business start
ed ; (a storm of applause) I have been
giving and giving, but now I will
give again, as I see something we are
to get in return," &c, &c. George
brought down the house. Mr. Baus
field, also of the Transfer Co., arose
and said, "I will give two hundred."
(More applause.) The paper was then
presented, sums varying from two
hundred dollars down to one dollar
weresubscrlbed. In addition to bank
ers, merchants, real estate owners,
and so on, mechanics and laborers,
anxious for the road, subscribed some
thing; and many enterprizing far
mers, such asF. E. Johnson, A. Dodd,
F. E. Allen, J. Q. A. Smith, R. S.
Hannaford, John Bath, Thos. Bath,
Smith Thompson, J. W. Brush. H.
O. Minnick, Lawrence, Church
Howe, Judge Church, Chris. Tucker,
and others, realizing that this road
will benefit the farmer more than any
other class of citizens, arc subscribing
liberally.
The scheme let It be understood is
not bond voting, but subscriptions
to be paid up and done with as soon
as freight and passenger cars are
regularly passing over the road.
We desire to say to such business
men of Brownville, and farmers-, who
have not subscribed to the enterprise,
that they should do so at once, as It
will be only by a liberal and united
effort that we will get the road. The
welfare of the people, especially the
producers, largely depend on compete
tion in freight carryiug when freight
is low farmers get the benefit of it in
what they buy and In what they
sell, and when it rises they have to
pay for it and this is a cheap projeot
which if perfected will permantly
benefit all.
Senator Lamar, of Mississippi, re
cently in the Senate reaffirmed the
old Democratic doctrine of the right
of a State to 6ecede. This, everybody
understands, is the cherished doc
trine of the Southern Democracy,
but many may not have been so cer
tain that Democrats North would ao-
quiesce in or accept such utterances
as a Democratic article of faith. But
the faot that not a single Democratic
Senator raised his voice against the
promulgation of the rebellious doc
trine, and instead thereof gave the
Southern traitor support in debate, is
evidence that Thurman North and
Lamar South, leading the party of
the sections they respectively repre
sent, stand upon the same disloyal,
disunion platform, made by Calhoun,
and reasserted by Jeff. Davis, in the
Senate, twenty yearB ago. Again, we
have been trying to find in Democrat
ic newspapers condemnation of such
teachings in the U. S. Senate as that
a State has the right to secede at will,
hut not a word can be found to that
effect. It is left solely and wholly to
the Republican Senators and Repub
lican newspapers, and the masses of
the Republican party, as in tbe days
of the inauguration of the rebellion,
to denounce and combat treason and
treasonable utterances. The time has
again come for all loyal people, of ev
ery party, to unite to administer a fit
ting rebuke to such promulgators of
treason as Thurman and Lamar, and
their followers. The remedy now is
with the ballot and a firm adminis
tration of the laws, but if these are
not made available at once the time is
not far off when resort again to bul
lets will be a necessity. Every move
of the Southern Detnocrac$ which is
the soul and motive power of the
Democratic party North and South,
warrants this conclusion.
G. W. Gray a sort of a one-horse
snide job printer, holding forth at
Omaha, is Hooding the country with
circulars offering to do job printing
very cheap. The truth is he sends
samples of paper which he never du
plicates, and practices every and all
Impositions on his patrons that is
known to the trade. Any merchant
or business man who would patron
ize such an institution should starve
to death, and we are glad to say that
very few do take any stock In any
thing of the kind. Courier.
When a printer pretends to furnish
printed stationery at less than what
the stock will cost him it can be de
pended on that somebody will he beat
en by It. Such a man oan always be
set. down ns a cheat and a swindler.
Wiblur JRecord.
Correct, brother. And this reminds
us of the funniest newspaper man In
the State. When he first started out
for business he would approach mer
chants and tell them he would adver
tise aLhalf usual rates, thatthey might
localize all they wanted free of charge,
and that it was all the same price
whether their ads. were big or little.
In fact he preferred to "spread out"
tbeads. because they "filled up" more.
Some weeks ago he inserted a big ad.
for a business house at Syracuse, and
spread it out terribly, without even
consulting the proprietor. WJiattbia
snide meant by such work "no fellow
has yet been able to find out," but re
cently he announced his determina
tion to "ensmall" as his style "had
n't payed." The dampbool probably
knows when he is hungry or "dry,"
and that is about all.
The great international walking
match at Gilmore's Garden, N. Y.,
ended on Saturday night, last, Rowell
the Englishman, walking away with
the first prize. He made 500 miles
within six days. O'Leary, the Amer
ican champion, got sick and aban
doned the contest when about half
finished. Enuis and Harriman,
Americans, remained, the former
making 475 miles and the latter 450.
The total receipts, as gate money, dur
ing the contest was $51,000, each of
the contestants getting their share.
O'Leary gets $1,000 which was set
apart at the beginning for any one
who might fail to remain through ac
cident or sickness. Total number of
miles made by each man, each day of
the match, was as follows :
Rowell first day, 110 miles; fseo
ond, 87; third, 86; fourth, 77; fifth,
68; sixth, 72; total, 500.
Ennis first day. 95; second, 78;
third, 78; fourth, 85; fifth, 69; sixth,
70; total, 475.
Harriman first day, 100; second,
86; third, 84; fourth, 55; fifth, 65;
sixth, 60; total, 450.
Ennis made hiB four hundred and
seventy fifth mile in 6 minutes and 5
seconds, the quickest mile made by
any one during the contest. Ennis
is a tough, gritty fellow, and left the
contest apparently fresh and in good
condition. It is said be has already
challenged Rowell to a contest for the
ehampionship of the world. If those
two enter the arena in good condition
it will be the olosest race ever walked.
The Columbus, Neb., Journal
thinks tbe capitol oppropriation bill
is unconstitutional, and we are not so
sure but that the point is well taken.
It is this: The bill proposed In the
house provided for a levy of of a
mill, whioh limited the amount to be
raised to $100,000. The bill was
amended In the senate limiting the
amount to $75,000 and appropriating
the amount from a fund already on
hand, thus abolishing the levy item
of the bill, and in effeot making it a
new bill appropriating money for that
purpose. The constitution is very
plain upon this subjeot and reads:
'Any bill may originate In either
house of the legislature, except bills
appropriating money, which shall
originate only in the house of repre
sentatives and all bills passed by one
house may be amended by the other.1
The bill as first introduced In the
house provided- for for the erection of
a wing to a capitol. building, by the
levy of a tax, and had none of the
features of an appropriation. In tbe
senate, under the cover of amend
ment, the nature of the hill was en
tirely changed, and instead of ma
king provisions whereby a sum of
money might be levied and collected
for a certain pupose, it was so alter
ed as to make it an appropriation
bill.

We'll bet a hat that that assertion

Saunders never made any such trade.
They are both men of honor and dig
nity, and would not think of stoop
ing to the attitude of trading politi
cians. Senator Saunders in support
ing the President's New York ap
pointments, acted independent of the
President or other influence, did his
duty, and did just what he ought to
