TOR AND ERMS OF SUPSCRIPTION: Wednesday, v : one vear, postage par 1534. 30-5 WEDNESDAY, APRIL BUTLER MISSOURI THE FOSTER ROAD- The consolidation of the Empona and the Walnut railroad interest ler the name of the St. Louis, Kan sas City & Western, with Gov. Fos- ter as President, means that Butler 40,000. can proceed to raise the $ But when the money is raised we have no positive assurance as y et that the road will come this way. There :s a large interest in the new com- pany wanting to run the line between Butler and Rich Hill direct to the Hudson coal fields ana thence east. Whether that influence will prove the stronger in spite of Butler’s bus- iness. her money and the grade which is almost complete from Wal- nut, is a problem that the public may be a long time finding out. It appears that every move Foster has made since he came Bates county two ago been to establish confidence in conduct and in the enterprise he rep- It may seem a little strange fail- last such Gov. into weeks has his reseats. that so soon after such a signal ure as the Walnut business was year, trom which resulted x widespread dissatisfaction, should be such a radical change of public sentiment in favor of a new scheme, very much the same as_ the old and builded upon its ruins. But such, nevertheless, is the case and the citizens of Butler, believing that they see in the proposition an honest there purpose, are almost to a man in sup- port of it. Just let this sentiment prevail, proceed to raise the money and But- ter will no doubt get the road. But we don’t want any branch. Give us the main line or nothing A RUFFLED TEMPER. Our pleasent criticism of the ARe- publican last week tor its egregious misuse of terms and display of ignor- ance in refering to the Toss rw boy. ruffled the temper of our cou temporary to an unnece y degree. Had we supposed the amaceur jour- nalist would have flew mto a spasm of indignation and slit his nen trom one end to *totherover so in- offensive language gratuitously ten- dered as information, we would have generously withheld our comments. We were caretul to be respect ul in what we said, and even less cri.ic- al than the circumstances admit.cd, out of a friendly sympathy tor the ed- tor whose observation and knowl- edge of the world does’nt extend be- yond the college wall or the bounda- vies ot his native county. When you construe or words mean *‘envious’’ “‘rancoring with jealousy’’ you are at variance with Webster and prac- tical common sense as greatly 7s when you call desperado a cow-boy. And above all things did we not atm to cast reflection upon any w- ter on the Repudlecan. We had no <ause todo so. Men are often mis- to **eynical,’” and understood in the performance of a!

It is clearly the province: of the State to regulate such matters, | and while we would labor with Dr. Talmage to rectify the evil we insist | | on not go‘ag beyond State lines to | do it.

At- ter the proposition is fairly before the people, they may take different view of the matter. The papers at the county seat do their utmost to con- ceal the opposition manifested but it sthere all the same and will require rather caretul manipulation to keep it irom breaking out in a_ dangerous form. ’’—Adrian Advertiser. The opposition retered made to the first so-called proposi. tion submitted by Col. Lemert— which was no proposition at all. Since Gov. Foster appeared and re- vised the proposal our people ere pretty near unanimous in its favor, and will subscribe readily to all the requirements. Since the consoidation of the Fos- ter and Emporia inierests there is no longer any question as to the pro- priety of the people of the county ac- cepting the terms in good faith and proceed at once to raise the money and secure the mght of way. to was “The traveling agent of J.
