COWBINATIONs.

Quite an earnest and important rail-
road war has recently been going on be-
tween two of the most gigantic corpor-
ations in the country the Erie vs. the
Pennsylvania Central. Their object has
been To get control Of the direct lines
and monopolize the through trade and
travel between New York and ST. Louis
and eventually TO connect with the Pa
ciiic Road For time the Erie was
master of the situation. but the Gems
trail turned the tables and has now the
most direct route, r6' Philadelphia
PittsbIrg. Columbus and Indianapolis
while the Erie controls the Atlantic x
Great Western and the Ohio y Missis~
sippi. Recently the Erie obtained a
lease from the Directors OF the Colum-
bus. Chicago and Indiana Central. but
the stockholders rejected it. The cons
test is now for the possession ot the
Pittsburg Ft. Wayne and Chicago. The
Central owns stock in the Eastern Di
vision of the L. p r. r., and as the Erie
has combinations with Northern roads
giving IL precedence with the Oiuaha
and San Francisco route, il is probable
the influence of the Pennsylvania Cen
trail will be thrown for the su0sid! zing
of the Eastern Division and the Cel.tral
Pacific TO connect with il, while the
Erie, interested in the L. p. route and
the maintenance of comparative mrn-
opoly, may be expected to join this III
direct war against the Northern Pacific.
We give these facts TO show a porto n
of the pressure that will be brought
against the Northern Pacific, irrespec =
tive of the muddled newspaper 4" econo :

STEAM FIRE ENGINES.

In view of the desirable and probable
Helena. we give the following statistics
concerning their use in New York. The
number of steamers in use is "a, of about
80 horse power, or 1S5 man power each.
This is equivalent to working force of
6,290 men men. The actual number
of men employed to run them and
twelve hook and ladder companies is
about $50. saving of $40 men, and in
comparably more efficient. The Scieh-
tifc American says the first portable
steam FIRE engine was built by Captain
Ericsson in London IN 1S29-30. He
built another in New York in 1854
but it was not brought into regular ser

that il burst the hose, which was rather
a merit than fault. Mr.. Miles Green>

established the steam engine. as part

recognized as one of the imperative me-
cessities in all large towns and cities.

wAsHINGTON,s BIRTHDAX.

On this 22d day of February, 1882
was born George Washington, "first in
war. first in peace and first in the hears
of his countrymen." Trusted in youth
by those whose liberties and lives were
in the balance; crowned with highest
honors, when those to whom his noble
virtues had endeared him in camp and
field and home, achieved the young
Freedom that is robust to-day; revered
when he laid off the robes of office and
and retired to his quiet home; mourned
by nation when he died as few of
earth have been, his memory lives
among the glories of earth, hallowed by
each passing year, and our grateful at
fection is quickened to sacred homage as
the gift of his giving is polished to iair-
er beauties by the attrition of events. !.
With us the worlds worthy join to bless
the name of Washington, and invoke
Peace to his ashes. No need OF pagean>
try and pomp. the blazing fires or thun-
dering guns. When the heart gives
praise. though its songs be mute on the
air as Tara's voiceless harp, its caden-
ces sweep up to the Eternal, and are
heard when the pulsing martial throbs
are lost. Such let our offering be to
him, who at Monmouth and Valley
Forge and Yorktown; in the halls OF
Congress, at the head of armies or the
State, pioneering into the wilderness,
following the peaceful pursuits of hus-
bandry. or giving priceless legacy %
wisdom to a nation of freemen in his
Farewell Address, was ever prudent as
brave, modest az wise, generous. honest
and manlike.

WILLIAMS, BILL.

We publish in another column bill
before Congress, which, if il became a
law. would make a considerable reyolu>
ton among judicial officers in the Ter
ritories. 1t contains many points on
which men take issue-from the ques-
ton OF an elective or appointive judici-
airy. to the Capitalization of power-and
is not likely to meet with favor from the
dominant party in any of the Terrific
ries. 1t seems To US to be open to the
same objection as Ashley's bill, invest
ing the Executives with too large and
unrestricted powers. While the appoints
ments of the President of the United
States are nearly all subject to the
approva. or rejection of the Senate, we
have here two bills applying TO the Ter
ritories, in which the authority of the
Governors is extended to a controlling
influence upon all elections, and an abb
solute appointive power over all The sub
ordinate Courts. While il is evident
there is a vital necessity for some meas
ure that will prevent the outrageous
frauds perpetrated by nop-citizens and
repeaters at every Territorial election
and while il is fully as evident that an
elective judiciary is pernicious, we cam
not still see in either of these measures,
although containing much that is good,
q desirable remedy for the evils. And for
these reasons Ashleys bill gives the
Executive q primary aud powerful di-
recting influence upon all elections.
Williams bill gives him absolute power
over the subordinate Courts. II the
Executives were in all instances honest,
infiexible, sagacious, thoroughly conver-
SAINT with the Territories they govern,
and good judges OF character, a portion
of our objections would not have force
but, unfortunately, these are the excep>
tional instances Every incoming adj
ministration brings after il a drift OF
politicians who must be taken care of
The Governorships OF the Territories

entiously and wisely they might act, a
prejudice would be created against their
acts, under this system. detrimental to
the best interests of the Territory at
large, whilst. Ii they should be dishon-
est, the condition of affairs would be

power is an evil ever TO be guarded
against in Republican Government.

' rhe quarrels, intrigues, schemes,
mutual chickering's and slanders of these
harpies (radicals) are the best evidence
in the world that the people of the ter
ritories should of right elect their own
Governor, their own Judges and their
own minor officers.
Nothing pleases him (Potomac) or
us better than to see them like pack
of wolves, snarl. snap and gnaw at each
other over the bones.

population and wealth will warrant us
