$a Our Railroad Interest.
ueqesire to see our citi2ens make ev
ery possible exertion to secure the early
completion of theElwoodand Marysvillo
Railroad through this County ; for, with
an our natural advantage over other
points and other routes, it 13 not to be ex
pected that we can defeat the capital and
enterprise of our rivals without an effort.
The people of St. Joheph are aware of
the fact that tho future -greatness of that
city depends upon the success of this en-,
terprise i of establishing this route as tho
main trunk of the Great Pacific Railroad;'
and the citizens of northern Kansas must
not forget, that their interests . are, in a
great measure, identical with the interests,
ot &t. Joseph. And here let us say to
our neighbors of that city, that while wc
can assure you that tho people of north
ern Kansas are alwa3Ts ready to do their
pan, j'ouhad better get rid of your ne
groes and secessionists, and then there
will be nothing in the way of the Pacific
Railroad taking its natural course, and
nothing to prevent the speedy prosecu
tion of the work. Yankees are the only
men in the world who can build rajlroads
but St. Joseph is not a very inviting placo
for that kind of people now. Those se
cessionist and negroes have been a greater
obstacle to the Pacific Railroad than tho
Rocky Mountains, for thej have kept
away enterprise. Could the population of
St. Joseph to-day, be exchanged for one
third its number of live yankecs, with the
assistance of our people, the cars would
be running through Troy in sixty days.
This road is necessary to develope the
agricultural and mechanical resources of
the country; it will enrich our farmers
and mechanics, and enable them to estab
lish and support those educational institu
tions, of which we are so much, in need in
the west, the importance of which wo
shall take frequent occasion to remind
our rea'ders in the future. Troy Patriot.
Newspaper Writing.
Everybody thinks it is an easy matter
to write for a newspaper. And yet. few
have excelled in the sort of1 composition re
quired for a daily or weekly prcs3. Even
clever magazinists have failed here, and
none have made worse work with ''editori
als" than able historians and elegant
essayists except fine orators and brilliant
debaters. The London Examiner has
handled this topic with ability in the fol-.
lowing paragraph. "Newspaper, compo
sition is a distinct and difficult art. Its
principle must be somewhat carefully stud
ied by those who would succeed in it.
The disregard of those principles is the
cause of the prosiness which characterizes
so much of our newspaper literature.
The newspaper is not a thing to be studied
scarcely one to bo rfead. It is to be
glanced over. The articles, .then, must be
so written as to artractand holdjattention.
Processes of thought and reaiSpfrig are to

should be short. Every word should leap

effect. uAllthatis not necessary to that,
