The commencement of tho proceed,
ings complained ol, aro fully set forth
in the following report of tho secre
tary concerning tho Iola meeting aud
as published in the Register of June
luthisuu, town:
ItAILHOAI) MEETNG.
iola Kansas. Thursday. June 101SG9: At a
large aud cuthusiastic gathering of citizens of
lout, lieiu in tne court House, iiou. jonn v
Scott was dieted President and H. W. Talcott,
Secretary. After statiug that the object for
which tne meeting w us caned was to listen to
the proposition of Mr. Joy concerning the build
ing of tho Leavenworth, Lawrence, and Galves
ton railroad, and to take a voice of the people
thereon, the President introduced the Hon, I S.
Kalloch the Superintendent of the road.
Mr Kalloch addressed the meeting for a
short time, during which he read a letter ad
dressed to him by James F Joy, In which Mr
Joy informs the people along tho line ot the
railroad that he will take the management of
and will build tho road through the county of
Allen, mil to the south line of the State of Kan
sas on or before the 1st day ot January, a D.
1S."1 ; provided, the counties will relinquish the
capital stock derived iroui the issue of the
bonds already voted to him.
HoiuS. a. Riggs also addressed the meeting in
a few short aud terse sentences.
Whereupon the following resolutions were
submitted by the Secretary and unanimously
adopted , to-w it.
Jictoliai, Thattte havo listened with pleas

Commissioners ol Allen county at their meeting
tomorrow, to convey to them the sense oi this
meeting, and to urge upon them the acceptance
ol the proposition of Mr. Joy.
On motion the mcetiug adjourned.
J. W. fccott, President
II. . Talcott. Secretary.
That ''large aud enthusiastic gath
ering" filled tho Court Houso to over
flowing, and thero was not a republi
can, democrat, equal suffragist, green
backer, prohibitionist, nor an A. P.
A. or A. R. U. man, nor a Coxeyite.
nor a laborer, millionaire, Pullmau
airo, nor an American, Irishman,
Dutchman, Chinamau, Nigger, white
man, or loot in that assemblage.
There was no ono there except an en
thusiastic, happy, unanimous lot of
people who had become joyous because
of the good news. And they wero
thero without regard to politics or
race, color or previous condition; aud
they wero thero to do their utmost to
prevail upon tho board of Commissi
ouers to transfer the stock.
' It was no child's play tho action
of that meeting. Long and weary
months yea, years the people of Al
len county had hoped for the early
completion of that railroad. Prom the
southern boundaries of Hungry Hol
low on tho north to theNeosho county
line south, and from theNeosho to the
Marmaton, going west to oast, thore
was deep anxiety. All looked upon
the completion of that railroad as an
event devoutly to bo wished for.
Tho Ions: delay aud many disappoint
ments attending its construction, and
the fears that its projectors and man
agers were not equal to the occasion,
made the people sick at heart, and be
came a source of great discourage
ment. The promises of speedy work,
and certain completion oi tno road,
were only recognized aa hope defer
red. But when the proposition came
under consideration, it was like a rev
elation, and no wonder the people
embraced it. it was as it tne oun
had lost sight of Allen county, and
after long search, had found it again,
and todopeuaucefor seeming neglect,
had concluded to make reparation by
adding fresh lustre to his shining
face.
Tho Register of June ICth., its
first issuo after the board had made
its order, contained the folio wiugconi-
meuts:
GLAD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY.
This town was visited last Thursday by Hon.
I S Kalloch, Supt of the L. L and G R. R
Albert and Buckingham turgis of Chicago, and
HouJohnw bcoti. directors oi tne road, and
bv Hon Sam A. Rings, of Lawrence. Their
missiou was a happy one (at least the people of
Allen county so regard it) but the result n bicb
is to follow is sUIl more happy
Mr. Kalloch came with authority from Mr. J.
F. Joy, the great railroadist, to say to our peo
ple that he would build the Leavenworth, Law
rence and Galvestou Railroad through Allen Co.
and to the south Hue of the S tato by the first of
January, 1871, provided the counties which
voted bonds would assign and relinquish the
s'ock to him. Large and enthusiastic meetings
w ere held at this place, and at Humboldt, and
were addressed by Messrs Kalloch, Itiggs. and
others At Iola the following resolutions were
passed unanimously, to wit:
Here follows a copy of the resolu
tions as set forth above. Then the
Register's editorial resumes as fol
lows: At Humboldt similar resolutions were passed
with but one dissenting voice. The board of
county commissioners met Friday afternoon to
consider the proposition, at which meeting the
resolutions, as passed above, were p escuted.
and after remarks by various gentlemen of the
county, and due deliberation, the board adopt
ed the following resolutions, to wit:
Here follows a copy of the resoluti
ons referred to, and in the same
words as yours of 20th inst. has them
quoted.J
With a prefatory remark only, tho
register copied the contract as made
in accordance with the spirit of the
resolutions aud then concluded as
follows:
Wc have thus given the entire action of our
officials in regard to the matter, and hpc that
when all the circumstance are taken iuto con
sideration, their doings will be heartily approv
ed by et ery citizen in the county None who
wUli tii i-pp nnrrnuutv imnroved. and its broad
acres cot ered with civilized and intelligent men
and women, can complain, but will be happy
in realizing tho fact that our commissioners
havo the conrage to assume the responsibility
and good sense to do what acorns to them best
in aid of this important enterprise. By their
action the road is secured beyond a doubt an
item which will make them long remembered
as those who know their duty, and were not
afraid to do it.
And, Mr. Editor, tho foregoing ar
ticle voicod tho sentiment of nearly,
every citizen in the county. It doe3 not
sound of politics. It does not show
enthusiasm because of a republican
victory or a democratic defeat or in
tho defeat of any person or party. If
those proceedings had been of a polit
ical character, and were taken as a
republican measure, do you suppose
the iiegister would have allowed
such a victory to escape mention?
Those who are acquainted with one of
its then editors (and thero aroyot
many iu Allen comity who are) kuow
full well that a full pago rooster to
crow his delight would have repre
sented in his mind only a small half
grown broiler, as to the crow he want
ed. No, it was not politics. The men
elected at tho Iola meeting to confer
with the Commissioners demonstrates
that. One at least, Mr.H. D. Parsons
was, and always had been leading,
lifelong democrat. Col. Twiss soon
afterwards becai o ono. As to the
others, except one, (and he always
took his straight), they wore republi
cans In principle; but, as to local can
didates or measures, they woro just
on speaking terms with Politics, and
not very iamiliarly acquainted with
him. Had it been a political pow
wow, such mon as Parsons and Twiss
good men aud citizens though they
wero would not havo peen selected
to do republican work, especially by
such an old,timo, dyed-in-the-wool
republican as Dr. Scott.
Again, I unhesitatingly say that, of
tho men who took part in the Populist
convention that mado that ridiculous
charge and who wero residents of
Allen county at tho tims of tho action
under consideration, thero is not one
in twenty who at the time made any
objection to tho action ot tho board;
and further, that it auy ono of tho 20
did object it was on tho ground that
it was a help to the cities of Iola and
Humboldt at the expense of tho
country; aud further, that not oue
single one of tho members of that cou
veution over suggested tho idea that
any political party had to do with it,
except it was years attorwarus.
But, again, if tho action of that
board of countj' commissioners was so
wrong, aud II tho lepublican party
was tho causo of tho outrage, will
sonio populist inform or explaiu to me
why tho voters of tho county at the
January special election following, by
a majority of over 0o0, direct tho issue
of au additional 2o,0U0 bonds, m aid
of that railroad? If ho will he will
tell mo that tho people of the county
irrespective of party, favored it, that
it seemed necessary for the good of
tho couuty that this additional aid be
given; aud that Deer Creek township,
the strongest aud surest republicau
township in tho county, and ono of
the townships to bo most beueiitted
by tho road, was about the only town
ship in the couuty to give a legal ma
jority against tho additional issuo.
By tolling theso things, he will toll
facts and ho can substantiate his
statements by examining tho records
of Allen Couuty.
But I havo prolonged this lettor be-
3'ouu my intention or expectation. I
havo not written it as a defense of tho
republican party of Allen Couuty, for
it needs nouo as to false charges.
This is written, however, as a feeble
vindication of tho acts of tho people
of that couuty who, without regard
to politics, religion, or social stand
ing, unitedly did a deed which has
caused tho county to bo brought from
a buffalo wallow to a garden; from the
abode of a few toiling and plodding
pioneers, housed in shanties and huts
to the dwelling placo of thousands of
healthy, hearty, well to do farmers,
merchants aud manufacturers; and
from an occasional log-sided, slab
seated and mud chinked hovel of a
placo to miriads of olegant, neatly
furnished, and comfortably arranged
school houses and churches where
people aro educated in tho arts,
sciences aud religion.
Yours respectfully,
W. H. Talcott.
OUR SUFFRAGE DEBATE.
Miss Siiott'it Article Suggests Some Inter-
e.tln;; Remarks by Mrs.
Noble 1'rcntls.
Kansas City, Aug. 24, 1894.
I havo just finished reading Miss
Elorenco Snow's auti-suffrago article
published in tho Register. I am
somowhat surprised at Miss Snow's
position, and yet, why should I be?
Sho is of poetic mind, and undoubted
ly looks upon suffrage from an aerial
position way up aud beyond the
structure ot common practical every
day life, Siie quotes this and that
poet iu their idealization of women,
but our dearly beloved and honored
Longfellow from whom she quotes
also, said "Woman's suffrage is un
doubtedly comiug, and I for one ex
pect a great deal of good to result
irom it."
Whittier declared that for forty
years it had been his conviction that
justice and fair dealing and the Demo
cratic principles of our government
demanded equal rights and privileged
of citizenship irrespective of sex.
True, it is very sweet and pleasant
dreaming of the ideal woman, but un
fortunately we (that is a vast major
ity of us) live in an extremely practi
cal age, where woman is compelled to
take upon herself new duties and ob
ligations. She is now, not only the
sympathetic, related woman ol poetry
but also the broad minded Christian
woman with tho great principles of
right and justice engralted in her
being, with the wonderful power of
knowledge that has como to her
through the co-education of our great
universities, through (ho marvellous
opportunities of this 19th century.
This woman is the true woman. She
is the model mother. Sho it is, who
seeing the duty of tho hour, seeks full
citizenship. She beiug the daughter
of a patriot must teach her children
patriotism, in fact ail that the woid
citizen means.
To carry on this God given work of
rearing children into noble womau
hood and manhood, she feels the
necessity of a weapon of defouce, of
protection, that has not heretofore
beeu hers, the ballot.
Place that in her hands and the
wise mother at once knows that she
is no longer compelled to sit moauing
in her home, because a dearly beloved
boy is" tempted to death by the demon
of the gambling den or saloon; that
her daughter cau bo shielded from
contact with evil, that this ballot en
ables her to do more and better
Christian work. By the uso of the
simple bit of paper sho knows that
tho broader charity may bo accom
plished.
AU this tho conscientious, intelli
gent woman of our tiuio knows, and
yet how strauge that some womeu,
exceptions it is true, object to tho I

deserve it. I do not assert that all
women object to tho ballot. I know
that all men do not uso it; but that is
no reason why all men should be dis
franchised. I know thero are thousands of
women in Kansas, who earnestly
nlead for this act of justico at the
hands of the men of Kansas, and I
firmly believe that tho ood men of
Kansas, irrespective of party will
vote for tho amendment. Uy doinr
so, they will show to tho world that
they havo confidence, that they honor,
that they love the women who in all
the trials of Kansas, stood bravely by
their loyal husbands and helped mak
our beloved State tho pride of her
people. Caroline E. Piientis
