The RECENT FLooD-On last Thurs,
day night (2Oth instantly about sixty
feet of the large new dam, which has
been recently pushed to completion by
our enterprising felow.citizens Syler q
Mann, was swept entirely away by the
food, resulting in damage to them Of
not one cent less than $1,000. The
dam was located about q quarter of a
mile below the old Nelly Faris Mill, on
Boiling Fork. In view OF the fact that
these gentlemen contemplated the cree
ton of tirst-c lsss grist and -four mills
with saw mill attached; and consid-
cring the benefit which would accrue to
the citizens by the erection OF said
mills, so convenient and only distant
from town a mile aud n half; and con-
sidering the consequent delay OF their
erection, the loss must necessarily be
considered rs a double loss. While
each and all will join us in expressing
feelings of kindest sympathy for the
two gentlemen whose loss is grcater as
individuals, we should encourage them
by act and deed to continue their
worthy enterprise which will result as
benefit to SO many when completed.
We understand that repairing can not
and will not be done to the dam before
next June.

OUR JArL.-It will he seen in another
column that q reward is offered for the
capture of three prisoners, who. on the
night Of the 10th inst, made safe their
escape out of our old dilapidated jail
We have heretofore urged the high
Importance of repairing said Jail, but
as yet nothing is done. From what We
can gather, the fault is not on the part
OF the County Court, for we under
stand that the order has been made
by the Court to have the same repaired
There seems to be no mechanic willing
to undertake its repair, because of the
prevailing impression that the county
is not good for its contracts, or that
The person undertaking the work would
have to wait so Lag Tor the pay that
the practicable result would be nearly
the equivalent Of mo pay" This is
mistaken idea. The county IS rs

any "Other man." BY reference to
The official report Of our financial
agent, twill be seen that the county
only owes S647 %, which is indeed a
'riile compared. with the Indebtedness
which, since the war, has been prompt
" met and liquidated. 1t would be
sale in saying that the county is now
IN good condition, and will be in a
shorttime able to meet promptly al of
Its Indebtedness. Let some mechanic
who h,s the interest Of his county at
heart, undertake to repair our Jail.

The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-07-27

result of over-crowded civilization; it was
built by capital as a venture, not only TO
secure dividends, but to increase the value of
property in old settlements. With us, rail
roads have been built chiefly as q means of
enabling the pioneer to reach the markets of
the country with his produce. l
For many years the tide Of emigration was
confined to the channels of water communi-
cation. The basin of the great lakes, and
the beds of navigable rivers, were first occu-
pied by the settlers, but these very soon be-
came filed, and then the living stream was
forced back into the interior in order to reach
the choice lands. In due time came the de-
mand for railroads to accommodate this latter
class, and for many years the resources of
the country were severely taxed to meet it.
Meanwhile, the East was engaged in a similar
work of local development. While the West
was struggling to.build railroads to take its
grain to market, the East was building them
RS a means of developing its mines, its manu-
features, and its internal traffic. Having
first built short lines between important
points, they were converted, by means of
consolidation. into great lines under one
management, with vast combinations Of bust
ness interests.
This process has gone on for years, and
with the most startling results. The ''oon-
solidating process is one peculiar to this
country, and if pursued for q few years
longer it will create some of the most gigantic
monopolies ever known in the world. In
illustration of our meaning, it may be stated
hat the Pennsylvania Central Railroad
owns or controls by lease over POO miles of
track, with a property of $160, 900, 900; the
New York Central practically controls over
5000 miles of track, with a property of $780,
600, 200, while the Erie Railway, the Chicago
and Rock Island, and several other lines, are
continually making new combinations, for
the purpose of securing the rapidly develop
ing business of the great West, and of the
Pacific slope.
With this process of accretion constantly
going on, the result must be the speedy
creation of a ] power which cannot be without
influence beyond its legitimate sphere of ope-
ration. The records of legislation at Albany,
Harrisburg, and Madison, during the last
twenty years, contain some of the largest
railroad jobs ever witnessed ameng civilized
peoples, and most of them were accomplished
by unfair means. Within the last ten years
at least three hundred millions of acres of
our public domain have also been given away
by Congress to railroad spectators, and new
schemes are presented at every session.
What the country has to fear is that, ulti-
mately, the railroad interest will, through
consolidation, become so strong that it will
be beyond legislative control. Already the
various companies do pretty much as they
like. How will it be a quarter of a century
hence?
