The CHARACTER Of the Land Grant of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company, as a whole, is
readily acknowledged by all persons acquainted with
the different Grants, to be SUPERIOR To
THAT OF ANY OTHER ROAD, but even
the average price per acre of Its land sales should
not be above the lowest average of all the land grants
which is but s2.7o on the Kansas Pacific Road, still
at this low figure for the $4,000 acres held to redeem
each $4,000 of bonds, there would be a surplus of
800 the amount of bonds that can be issued
on each mile of the Northern Pacific Railroad.
During the present month the Northern Pacific
Railroad will be opened for passengers and freight to
the Red River of the North, the eastern boundary
of Dakota Territory-this with the completed road
on the Pacific SLOPE and the St. Paul and Pacific
branches of 2ss miles, will make nearly 600 miles Of
road in operation at the close Of this year.
As the U. s. Government Is now calling iu the Five
Twenties, holders Of these can convert them into
Northern Pacific Bonds, and thereby INCREASE
THEIR INCOME MORE THAN 81 I-3
PER CENT. At the present time good proper
ton of the sales ofN p Bonds are by the conversion
Of Five-Twenties, and we notice that the Boston
Journal in its monetary article of Nov. II, says:
"Holders OF FiveTwentes (of 1902 are either real
zing upon them, or exchanging them into other Is

YEAS AND NEIGHs. If horses could make
themselves understood in human language,
they would signify by a universal "Yea," their
assent to the statement that the MUSTANG
LINMENT is the best remedy extant for all
these external ailments, and by most emphat-
ic "Neigh" show their displeasure at every at
tempt to use any other preparation in its stead.
Ever since the introduction at st. Louis, at the
close of the Mexican war, in 1s49, it has proved
a signal blessing to horse and man-curing
with absolute certainty and wonderful des-
patch, such equine diseases as spawn, ringbone,
poll evil, scratches hoof-ail, &C., and relieving
and finally removing the painful affections
which attack the muscles, sinews and external
glands of human beings. 1t is a fact beyond
contradiction that for all injuries or complaints
of man or quadrupeds to which an external
remedy is applicable, the MUSTANG L1N1MENr
is preferable to every other.

ARREST OF SNEAK THIEF.-Last evening
fellow named James O'Hara, stole an over
coat from the entry of Mrs. Adams boarding
house, corner of Free and Cotton streets. A
young son of Mrs. Adams, who was in Cotton
street saw him as he passed up Free street and
suspecting something wrong, followed the thief
down Center street and up York, where he
went into house near the Sugar House. On
the way the boy managed to get in advance and
scanned the man closely and observed that it
was his own overcoat in possession of the rogue.
The man soon left the house without the over
coat The boy then reported the case at the
police office and the rogue was found in bed
by Deputy Decelle who took him to the station.
O'Hara was sentenced to State Prison some four
years ago, for the term of five years, but was
pardoned out within year.

THE REASON WHY.

The Review does not like our style Of
Democracy. God forbid it should. he
moment that journal should approve of
our political views, that instant We should
suspect there was something wrong. A
paper Ike the Review, that is the sworn
defender of the iniamies of Grant reign:
that excuses every swindler througout the
land, if be will only join the standard
of C@sarism; that sees no guile in Cam
eron; says Hartranft is honest that
advocates the continued spoliation of the
South: that defames that most unhappy
people with the vilest and atrocious
falsehoods; that is the tool and mouth
piece of the most intolerant, corrupt and
malignant faction that ever disgraced a
free country. Such a paper as this, we
trust will be always our opponent, our
uncompromising, unrelenting enemy
We have nothing in common with it, no
meeting place, no possibility Of agree
ment We ask for real and not
sham reforms in the general Govern
ment. That the revenue shall be prop
erly collected and honestly distributed. i
That expenses and taxes shall be dimin-
ished. That the South shall cease TO
be oppressed and her citizens allowed
equal privileges with those Of the North.
That the circulation ofths country shall
be placed on aproper footing, that Of con-
variability and cease to be at the mercy
OF the gold gamblers. The Review wants
none Of these things. 1t desires to pro-
long the reign of tyranny and corrup-
ton, and that is the reason that il is
politically our unrelenting foe Heaven
grant that it may so remain, for then We
are sure to retain the approval of the
good, the wise and patriotic among our
citizens.

GETTING THEIR MONEY BACK.

At the discussion the other evening
Judge Goodwin said the legislation which
gave the immense national aud other
subsidies to the Central Pacific twas
the grandest and aisest that had ever
taken place since the beginning of
time" A tol, rably fair fight of fancy
that, for sagebrush orator. Next he
said THAT if the peoples hard earned
money had built the road they. the
people, had got it back again" Now.
let us see how this money has been re-
turned to the people. By the Senti-
mel We learn that the railroad
charges 800 gold for the freight on q
car load of lumber from Truckee to Pal.
isade. while the same quantity delivered
at Salt Lake, $50 miles further. would
only cost $50 in greenbacks-the differ
ence being caussd by the competition of
the Union Pacific bringing lumber from
the East. That is the way the people
get their money back, by paying about
S2o per car load at point where there is
no competition more than at anotherpiace
where there is. Another way the farm
ers of California got their money back
is by the Central Pacific buying ND all
competing lines, whether rail or boat.
ana then charging the farmers what the
company pleases for the transportation
of their crops to market. another way
of getting their money back was the
Central Pacific acquiring the control of
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, so
that there could be no competition from
that quarter. The people have been get
ting their money back in this manner for
so long and to such an extent. that there
Is one universal cry of Indignation going
up against the Railroad, for monopolizing
all the avenues of transportation and
ievying the most extortionate charges.
lhis Is Goodwin's style of the people
getting their money back. 1t may satisfy
MIN and his hacker, the Railroad. but
the people do not appreciate it. The
burden is becoming unbearable. Such
an onerous tax is being levied on the
commerce of the Pacific Coast. that il is
iecayins under such outrageous imposi-
'lons- As an instance Of the way the
people OF Nevada are getting their money |
back, We will state that the through |
freight from Chicago to San Francisco is
so much less than it is to Reno. the sta

Gorn.yp D1,xoyrr.-Wonders in II

GoLp AND DI.MoSps.-Wonders in the
way Of discoveries of gold and diamond
plaoers are getting common. In the last
few days the public has been astonished
by the alleged discovery of an island OF
gold in the Caribbean Sea; also stories
Of the fabulous riches of a portion Of
Venezuela, and in the State of Guyana,
on the branches Of the Orinoco. But all
these marvellous tales are eelipsed by the
tale told in the New York World Of the
wholesale manufacture Of diamonds.
This discovery is reported to the New
York World by Mr.. James NJ. Martin,
who gives his address as 116 Jay street,
New York. This Munchausen says that
friend of his, who had made millions
by his discovery, in two nights made
SsOO. 600 worth OF diamonds. This man
Martin is of course crazy, but still his
Arabian Nights tale serves to crafty the
public appetite for wonders.
