euggestions connected with the subject
l. There are several companies in the State
which. in addition to large mining privileges,
have the control OF the routes of transportation,
BY which alone the products of ths mines Of
individuals In their respective districts, can
reach market. These companies thus epioy
substantial n0uopolies. BY means of which i6ey

Swapping Horses.

The following is transmitted by telegraph
as the conclusion of Lincoln's formal speech
accepting the nomination for the Presi-
dency: +.r
II have not permitted myself gentlemen,
to conclude that am the hest man In the
country; but l am reminded, in this con-
nection, of story of an old Dutch farmer,
who remarked to a companion that 1T was
not best to swap horses when crossing a
stream" ~
This is the man who is styled by his office
holders 1.-THE second Washington" just
think of ''the fathar of his country" enter
tanning his guests on an occasion like this
with IA story" and comparing himself to
an "old Dutch farmers" horse!
People sometimes are dragged into a
stream by stupid and vicious horse, and
save themselves from drowning only by
cutting clear of him. The manner in which
Lincoln has floundered about since he en-
tered the stream, would indicate that he
had better be ''swapped Off the first op-
| portunity.
During the last month we have lost upon
an average over thousand soldiers per
day ''story" which the occupant Of the
Presidential chair seems never to be ''re-
minded of" or to appreciate.
