2 glxe WLxcMte aiXtj gagle: Wzthusam Ptonxing, gjowsmljcr 17, 1886. M. 31. MU It DOCK. Kdlior. WEDNESDAY MORNING. NOV. 17 18Si. PETTICOATED OR WINGED ANGELS, WHICH ? The 7ny Mrs. 31. E. Lease did up our biblical correspondent and ancient scholar Wis 2. caution to all bipeds in whom brains rather than heart predominate. But what bothers us is how our fair-browed and warmhearted correspondent manages to produce iueh replies without employing some brains. We intimated to our Pauline patron that while- his quotations were evi dently very sound, his communication would elicit some warm replies. We guess the one will prove sullicient. We only know of one individual in this neck o' woods whose ex,,eriene and brains would warrant his entering the lists ag.iinst those lwings whose hearts rather than their brains compel the worshfp of eveiy true man. but modesty forbids the mention of his name. Besides he thinks there is an easier and more direct road to heaven than through purgatory. Moreover, when it comes to a battle of hearts and brains with the Bible as the only ammunition and no fence in sight to straddle, we would rather take the side of the hearts, which not only includes our fair correspondent and the Ilypatia club, but Susan B Anthony and all the angels, whether in petticoats or with wings. It i the brains which promises to pro tc-t the timorous, quivering angel when the uureole of orange blossoms are placed upon her smooth brow, but after awhile w'n n the husband gets torn up by care and trvul I.1 comes to Meal away he peace of the " brains how is il then? The heart h'1 promhed to j.rotect becomes his protec tor. She sees the sunshine through the clouds. She smooths out his corrugated brain receptacle and stays "his flagging irils. She puis iwv life in his bosom, turns his irizzard into a heart and inspire him with new hope, fctiength and zeal to ivre-;h with life and its responsibilities. Womnn may -b" the weaker vessel, but fclu' in it her breaks up nor goes to piices as sonn as man, and Paul would never-havc I diced as he did had his augel been one of p tticiats iather than one of imaginary wings. OH, YES! It is pretty well settled that the railro.ui magnate- have decided that Kansas CiU is to control the trade of the Wichita ter ritory Poor old Si Louis has had her ,h at it long enough The scales of jus lice imbue this way 'vl we shall get our dur K.ms.is City Time.-. Yes, the Missomi Pacific, the San "Fian clsco, and Rock Island are all going out of t'i"ir way to cat ry their traftic to Ivansas Ci'y and dump into the Missouri river p )1. About next June, if not sooner, b th Kansas CitjT and St. Louis will open t'lrir eyes to a realization of what Mr. (J mld's late visit to Wichita meant. It wouldn't hurl those burgs any to keep th ir eyes on the I). M. & A. .system, also the Lagle line extension. Those scales of justice have inclined about long enough and tiny arc evening up. CASH CITY CASHIER. Cash City, Clark county, comes to the front with a newspaper called the Gs'-ahiur. Echange. , Cash City is named for Mr. Cash Hen derson, of Wichita. If the new city and its paper are animated by a tittle of the life and spirit 'of Mr. Henderson, C:uh City will make a town which will be heard of in the fuluie. They say it is located in a splendid country, rich, fertile and beauti ful, and we guess that Cash City is one of the coining impoitant towns of Kansas. Lufe Merrill, formerly of the Cheyenne Transporter, and a very bright newspaper man. is the editor and propiictot of the Cashier, who will do his pait it keeping Oa-.li Oily and Clark county before I lie world. "THE WICHITA COUNTRY." Fro.n tin' KIDorado Republican. The St Louis Kcpublican, with a blunt candor that does il gmu credit, admits that the issue i "whether St. Louis or Kansas City and Chicago shall contiol the vast trade of the Wichita count. y." The issue is a thing of the past. The quuatiojj has resolved itelf into a fart, and the fact turn, the scale in favor of Kansas City. Kansas Cit' Times. ol by any means. The isue is not yet made cvept in a disttltory way. The Times eems to forget llmt withm a few months the "Wichita country' will have lour trunk lines of railway. Two from Chicago; "the Santa Fc and the Hook Island Two from St. Luiis; the Gould line ami the St. L'uis and San Francisco. The last named road is not owned b the Santa Fe and will not be; nor can Mr. Gould hope to get it. The logic of the situation is that not only will these lines m:.ke the "Wichita coun try'" a common point, but that the other trunk lines will l' compelled to follow to get business. Mr Gould wants business for his road; Mr. Winslow of the Frisco, wants busiuess for his. I there any reason to lelieve that -these two lines will adopt the two rate tariff suggested by Kansas City? No, Mr. Goult has already been giving the 'W ichita country" a Missouri-river rate, and w hat i the result? Fourteen of Mr Jay Gould s trnins come into and gout of El Dorado daily in place of the fotxrof a fo months ago. The trade center of the great southwest must and will come to the "Wichita c nmtry" as must come all .the other Mis-s-un river lines. speaking of the admission of Dakota, the St. Louis Globe Democrat very truly says. "Unless the honest, fair-minded and patriotic voters of the nation choose a re publican majority in November next, the cniutry in 1S?0 will be treated to the hu miliating speetacle of 1,000.000 intelligent, progressive people, in a single political di vision of the country, as completely de prived of all voice in the making of the la vs by which they are governed as if they were confined in a prison or dead. Anent the h ing telegram that originated in Cincinnati relative to Mr. Carlisle's in tcntioiiDf moving to Kansas the Atlanta Constitution says: "But then, you know, th? truth and Cincinnati telegrams go through the world by different routes." WHr WICHl'A WILL WIN! CJaiins of St- Louis, Chicago Kansas City. and What City Shall Control the "Vast Trade or the Agricultural Kmpirc Known as the Wichita Country. From the Kansas City Times. The St. Louis Republican, with a blunt audor that does it great credit, admits that tlio i-sue is "whether St. Louis or Kansas City and Chicago shall control the vast trade of the Wichita country." "The vast trade of the Wichita coun try!" Whether St. Louis or Kansas City and Chicago shall control! Xo elabora tion of the great significance of that brief paragraph is necessary. It contains a vol ume. It embraces all that the Egle ever claimed of the inevitable. It admits "the issue" which involves largely the destinies of the three greatest cities of the west, and that Issue is "the control of the vast trade of the Wichita countrv." Wichita.her possi- hilities, her present overshadowing and .ever growing importance as the central, as the controling factor of a domain which composes the most magnificent agricul tural empire known to this continent, is ig nored, farther than the fact that such em pire has been unalterably linked with our city's name, and so closely that in making mention of the name "Wichita" is em ployed as 'covering the entire field, which field is deemed of such paramount impor tance to the present and future of the cities named. "The Wichita country!" The great Ar kansas Valley! Southwestern Kan sas! Twenty-five or thirty great and rapidly developing counties with r.lie.uly a teeming population, a hundred growing towns and cities with hundreds of miies of railway already con sliucltd and thousands of miles more un der contract or provided for, and the ctty of Wichita as the great central distributing point, the natural central matket, with her seven lines of railway and three more trunk lines under contract, with all their branches and fcedus, and all leading to the city of Wichita. Over and thiough this vast agricultural domain, the like of which can be found in no other state or country, so wide, so rich and so prosper ous Will soon go hundreds of trains com posed of thousands of cars, ladencd with products, vibrating daily, to and from Wichita, to and from the bundled glowing towns and cities of this valley, all linked by bars of steel to the one metropolis and entrepot, Wichita. And to this domain, larger than some of the states and of which there can be found hardly a foot of waste or uncultivated land, will soon be added the new Indian terri tory upon the south, of equal or greater extent and of almost equal richness, which will be known al-o as "the Wichita coun tiy," and which will be tributary to this city as certainly as northern Illinois was tributary to Chicago, as ceitainly as the Mississippi valley was tributary to St. Louis or the central Missouri valley to Kansas City, or the Minnesota wheat fields to Miuueiipolis. The St. Louis, the Chicago and the Kansas City papers can go on with the harmless discussion as to which of these three cities shall control "the vast trade of the Wichita ciuntry," but in the meantime the farsceing jobbers of the-e very cities, grasping the logic of the situation, profit ing by the experiences aad observations of the past histories ot Chicago, Kansas City and .Minneapolis, aie taking long time leases on business rooms and erecting busi ness palaces in Wichita, and are transfer ring their interests to this base of present anil future supplies. These will settle the question at issue, and not in favor of either of the cities named, but in favor of Wichita, which will as surely as the sun shall rise this morning "control the vast trade of the Wichita country. " St. Louis reaches Wichita now by two trunk lines, .the Missouri Pacific hnd the San Francisco, bcth of which stretch from St. Louis to Wichita direct and independent of the Missouri river pool. Kansas City reaches Wichita by two com petilive lines, the Santa Fe and a bnnch of the Missouri Pacific. Chicago, by June next, v. ill reach Wichita independent of the .Missouri River pool by the Chicago, Bock Island & Pacific, bat these indep endent trunk line connections will add to Wichita's importance as a center rather than to in the smallest degree tend to give either of the cities named any control of Wichita ami her trade. Moreover, these cities seem in their discussion of this sub ject to lose sight of the fact that Wichita within a few months will have a direct connection with Gould's Texas-Pacific system, and by a link which Mr. Gould will construct, himself. ""And that is not all. The trade of the south will be competed to this point, farther, within a year by the completion,, of the Santa Fe's Indian Territory connection with Texas, as also by the construction of the Arkansas valley route from Little Rock, the right of way for which road was granted by the present congress. Wjth the completion of these lines and the Rock Island into north ern Texas, and in connection with our in dependent railways to SL Louis and Chi cago, the construction of Mr. Gould's branches from Wichita to the west and "",'';7,,C' rt,ut iae -'-'i auaj the Rock Island to the north, are going to .1 . .t r.i. .i. ii!ii...i enable the jobbers of Wichita to reach and control not oniy tne products ol but the supplies also for a country heretofore en tirely dominated by Kansas City, St. Joseph and Chicago. Agftin then, aad in conclusion, there is no more certain things in human affairs than that Wichita herself will "control the vast trade of the Wichita country." , . , . , . Tom Moonlight made his canvass for governor, and now he is carrying out the r&t of Hie program, and that is to demand of the Democratic administration an office which pays $S per day. Moonlight never ccjx'eted to le elected governor. His sole incentive was prestige for the demand t f an office.

White Peyton 150 Q50 104,353 7,031 THE ROCK ISLAND. Mr. A. CJ. Dow, who is engaged upon the grading for the Rock Island, stated yesterday in conversation with a Capital reporter," that the iron for the new railroad bridge was expected here this week, and that" upon its ai rival, the superstructure would ha placed in position. lie said that he expected the bridge would be completed by December 15, aud that trains would be tunning into Topeka by the 1st of. January anyhow. The engine is expected to ar rive at the same time as the bridge iron aud will be used in transporting material. A pile bridge is now being built across the little creek west of Tyler street, on First avenue, aud a bridge "is also being built across Mission creek, fourteen miles west of town. - Tomorrow Samuel Dolman, who has charge of the grading in this county, will send a force of men west fourteen miles to look over the grade betw en town and Mis sion creek, and fix it up, preparatory to laying the track. The bridge gang will be sent out on Mis sion creek tomorrow to haul the piles and other timbers necessary for the bridge. Capital. 3D. A. Story7l)fXo. 230 North Tenth street, Philadelphia, says that he has in his possession 200 or 300 pages of manuscript written bv his father, which he intends to publish in order to establish the claim of Henry Clarke Rodgers that he was a nat ural son of Gen. George Washington. Mr. Story states that the manuscript will never be given to the public. Rogers lived in Philadelphia aud died in 18C5. His pho tograph shows that he bore a marked re semblance to General Washington. He had an abundance of money, and main tained that he was born and educated in England and had an income from the Washington estate. Builiugamc Chronicle: Here is a straw: Of the twenty-two third party, so-called prohibition votes, cast at the recent elec tion in P.utlinganie, all but one were for Mr. South wood. Democrat, for constable. There were four Republican candidates for constable, aud only one of them captured one solitary vote from the prohibition party. But then, of course, it was ex pected that the Democratic auxiliary would vote with the party to which it be longed. A colored man in New York hopital had bis bowels taken out and washed. A patient in London had his diseased lung tissues burned out. When the surgeons learn how to extract and disinfect a bad heart, they will piovc benefactors indeed to the lest of the race," says the Philudel phia News. Four counties, Atchison, Graham, Rus sell and Trego, remembered Branscombc, Prohibition candidate for governor, with one vote each. John L. Sullivun, having joined the Pro hibitionists, is now joined by his wife. They have agreed to live amicably in the future. There are two counties in Speaker Car lisle's district that never had a railroad or a telegaauh station. When a daughter of David Swing, tiie independent preacher of Chicago, was married the other day to Mr. Starr, of Col m?ir, la., the" vowed to "serve, honor and love" each other, there was a prayer aud nuptial blessing. The ring was put on the bride's finger at the wedding tea in her father's houe, having first been charged with a wish by everyone at the table. Prof. Swing, who-e w ife, a singularly Insiutiful and lovely woman, died several years ago, wept to excess it is said, because he is now left quite alone. Commonwealth. During the campaign for mayor in New York, it was said that Henry George lacked the business qualifications so essen tial to the chief magistrate of a city like New York. But when Henry George was asked by a newspaper reporter the" other day to give his views on the land question, he said: "I am perfectly willing to do so, but it would Iw equivalent to writing an article and I want pay for it.
