TIE FROZEN MEN.
Victim. OF the a:r Snow Storm o a.,
Pan, II, 0R.' to the { ity
storirs Of Ter. ib,e Hsrl hip.

Last evening. j. 4. Keenan,, E-q, of
Dodge City, arrived in this city, having in
charge FIVE of the victims of the terrible
snow storm that swept over the plains on the
10Th of January The frozen men, whose
names are F. A. Sarvi', q. f. Thomas, Il.
Mark, w. L. Mulerney and T. d. Sitter,
were taken TO the Sisters Hospital, where
every attention will be given them. One of
the party is frozen so badly that his legs will
have To he amPutatei. and il is ever dn:ibt
full then whether bis life can I've saved.
Day before yesterday, on the train, while
another gentleman of the party was feeling
his left ear 10 ascertain il. condition, that
member came OF in his hand. much TO his
establishment. II has been common occur
renee on the trip from Dodge City 10 this
place for frozen toes and fingers TO fail of.
On the way hither Mr.. Keensn brs.o~-d
the greatest attention, and had the frozen
limbs carefully bandagod. Every movement,
rof the sufferers was accompanied with severe
pains.
The storm in which the men came so near
,peaishing, swept over the plains on the Goth
of SANITARY, and a. that time they were
about sixty miles from Dodge City, in the
heart Of the buffalo region of the southwest.
The party was engaged in buffalo hunting
at the time, and was prevented by the depth
of the SNOW, the fury OF the storm, and the
intensity of the cod, from reaching the SET
Elements.
The lines entitled "RaiIroad King" in
anothsr column, constitute, in some sort a
commentary upon the railroad power in the
country. The people are awakening 10 the
vast inrosds made by these s.uppndous cor
porations upon the rights and the liberties Of
the citizen. In Illinois, for example, the
railroads show TO their stockholders that they
cost over two hundred and sixty millions OF
dollars, while they show TO the tax-gathsrs
that they cos, only twenty-six millions 81
dollars. Why is this? Ii il to cheat the
people at both ends; oh, at them owners,
and cheat them in the payment of taxes.
To meet these ouirsses the people mu't he
alive to their interests. and demand OF then
representatives. in their Legislatures tha
these corporations shall respond to the bur
thens Of government equally with the eli
zen, and that they shalt he 50 managed thai

ducer, 70 enrich the Golfers OF q lot Of shcddy
VILLAINS who live by cheating.

SIR: De mOrtuiS nil niSi bOnum, when applied

and of public living dead the truth must be tSd
or how is history to be written Your remarks in THE
TRIBUNE Of to-day about Bulwer and Prof Jowet and
the great novets kindness Of heart calculated TO
deceive am happy to say that never exchanged word
line with the late Lord Lytton but when in England
knew literary OF all shades who had done So and
each one of them, although admrDg the author OF the
Last Days of Pompe," had nothing but contempt for
the Man and the Lord. Elwer despised the craft In
which he was master and but for which he would have
been unknown his whole nature that OF the cold
selfish aistocrat. The struggling author or poet the
rising Journalist, had no sympathy or good word from
him. Far different from one whom we have 50 sadly
mourned Horace Greeley far different from Dickens or
Disrac Bulwer continually 'snubbed his interiors IN the
Republic OF Letters. The life OF Thomas Cooper the

need be only story say 25 80 feet high 1t seems
TO me that very slightly addition TO those grim and
