It defines railroad to include ferries and prohibits unjust charges and discriminatory practices, with detailed provisions on rates, distance pricing, and regulatory powers. The article also cases Kansas state finances under governors St John Glick and Martin, comparing expenditures and receipts, urging readers to consider Republican governance costs.

A Hole to be Bored through the Earth
A peculiar bill in the lower house would fund an army engineers board to bore through the earth’s crust to probe its interior. A $100,000 appropriation would buy land four miles square for operations with the war department to report progress to Congress and seek ongoing funding through 1889. The measure aims to satisfy both scientists and the public curiosity about what lies beneath our world.
