The New York Ueraid is after tho
railway and other monopolics again,
We copy an extract from one Of its re-
cent articlcs-as follows:
We lately called the attention of the
United States Senate to the fact that Ger.
tain chartered corporations were and
are buying up the anthracite coal lands
of Pennsylvania and stealthily acquir-
Ing n monopoly Of the coal traffic. There
is no subject more l'raught with danger
to the public welfare than the steady
increase Of railroad monopies. We dc
not now mean the great combinations
the heretofore separate railroads oven
the great routes Of travel. IN respect
to these we wait for further develop.
mcnts. We mean the absorption OF
lines Of business into what were in.
tended only AS lines Of travel. Ifthcsc
railroad companies can buy up and
work or not, AS they pleasc-all the
coal and other mineral lands bordering
upon or easily reached by their roads
why not all the wheat and corn lands
Where is this monopoly encroachmen
to stop! Not only do the railroad com.
pnnics buy coal lands to obtain the con
troll Of transportation for their roads
but canal compiny-thc Delaware
and IIudson-bny rairOad-thc Rcns'
sclaer and Saratoga--nndcrt the prctcnct
Of securing an outlet for their Goa
trade.
Under this pretcyt of the necessities
or interests Of the coal trade. an nroaC
! is made upon the public highways o
the country which would not be submit
ted to for one moment were the eyes o.
people opened to its real meaning
who would advocate rclimquishing tho
control and use Of the common roads
to sets OF private individuals or to cor
porations to be used and managed by
them as their interest or caprice nigh
dictate? Yet the public look on will
seeming Indifference while the owner!
Of railroads, which have become OF ter
times the importance of "cOmlnol
roads" regulate the movements tray
oilers and transportation Of freight, with
out regard to anything but the seltisl
policy of corporations. The Presdcn
of one of these anacondas, which hat
Just swallowed n million dollars wortl
of coal land. when asked if he though
the public would permit his company tc
monopolizc the coal traffic, replied =
son! we shall give the public coal SC
cheap that it will never trouble itsel
about the monopoly question" This i
all very well TO say, and perhaps it ma!
be the intention of the present owner
of the railroad but how will it be whcl
the road passes into the hands o
owners who may not be satisfied
with profits of cheap coal? A DIES
p1tism is undoubtedly the most etlicicn
form Of government, and works adnira
bly, as long as the dcspot is all right bu
the American people will not be salts

ISOaue County.

The East IenneSSeenR of last week
contains the proceedings of meeting
held at Kingston to initiate steps to
bring the thrifty locality at the couflu-
cnce of the Clinch and Tennessee into
direct railroad communication with
"thc outside world We NOTICE the
names of Col Bob Byrd and other sub
stantial and entcrprising citizens asso-
ciatcd with the meeting, and we have
no doubt they are in earnest Reanc
county is rich in agricultural and other
rcsourccs-none more 80 in East Ten
ncsscc-and needs only contact with ell
tcrprisc and capital TO make it among
the most prosperous. AS for Kingston,
it enjoys supcrio: advantages for man
ufacturing. Almost within sight OF
its Court House are hills filled with coal
and iron. with plenty of timber of the
best quality close at hand, and the Ten
nesscc and Clinch both flowing Mt its
feet. Providence most helps those who
help themselves. We are gratified to
sec our friends in Roanc waking up from
their long slumbcr, and hope they may
mean business. life is real, life il
earnest If our paper can be Of any
service to them in their projected or
contemplated enterprises, of course
they will not hesitate TO command us.
What we want to do now, is to aid in
building up the material and social in
terests of our section.

Something mwst be wrong with the

A general rumor prevailed last night

Public sentiment and respectable citi-

This is frOpl the Press and Ecrald oil

Havana Tobacco.

Much of the "IIavana tobacco that
is consumed in this country, is said to
be really raised in Connecticut, and to-
bacco culture is making the farmers OF
that exceedingly thrifty State rich.
Hartford county alone raised $4,000.00O
in 1871, and one man is spoken of who
sold the growth of seven and half acres
for over $4,000. Tobacco is grown in
the United States elswhere than in Con-
ncticut, and in much larger quantities.
but Connecticut enjoys the reputation OF
being our American Havana, whence
comes, by sundry mysterious roads,
much of the "imported' weed.

Improved RailWaying.

Since the Pennsylvania Road took the
New Jersey lines it has reduced the
time between New York and Philadcl
phia nearly one-third, so that, in two
hours and half, one can be whisked
over ninety miles, and 90 almost every
hour in the day. A man can leave New
York in the morning, run over to Phila.
delphia, return, visit Philadelphia sec.
ond time. and return again to New
York, if he choose, within the hours OF
daylight.
When the combinations now in pro.
grcss are effected, we shall witness sim
liar improvements in the working OF
the lines in this State and in the country
South and Southwest, as well great re-
ductions in the price of freights and
passenger travel. So that what great
many uniformed persons thought
would prove dangerous and oppressive,
will ultimately turn out to be the big
gest sort of q blessing, in q material
sense at least.
