to receive its running expenses and a
pro rata share of the net earnings over
the aggregate expenses.

The l.. :. senate railroad committee
has agreed to recommend that char
ter and right of way be granted for the
building of Il railroad from the mouth
of the Arkansas river west through
Indian territory and Kansas TO San
Francisco. The bill will meet with Il
strong opposition by Indian delega-
tons backed up by railroad companies.
The bill ought to pass and the road
built. In our opinion it is one of the
grandest railroad projects now under
cons ideration in the United States.

e. Of this declaration is shown in clear light
when it ia remembered tha. the unfortunate
man died Eve mfna.es after he Was baked til g
last time. At tho time vheu these mode! ;urors
declare that Williams was stubborn and defiant,
the wretc!led victim was dying. 1t is truly re-
nsarkab1e that man within few minutes Of
death should be disincired to dress himsalf!
Tho brutality OF tue officials in plnnging dying
man into cold wafer, and then wrcoking their
optic against hin tecaua> lie wouldn't stop
dying long enough to drcFs himself, ii
only elua!el Ly the unconcerued toao
in which this jury spsak Of it. We
are further informed that had the con-
vict been well no harm would havo happened
TO him! Whose business WAS it to have known
that ho was not we'll? The entire medical tes-
timony showed conc!usiyely that a medical ex-
animation would hare discovered that the man
was sick. This examination was had, and Dr.
Mason found nothing was the mstter with him.
Having u,ado this blundcr, it is not surprising
to learn, Gs The jury confess, that the order was
not explicitly and definitely expressed, and con-
WIGS misunderstood And yet no one
WAS to blame!

The tone of the dispatches frcm various parts
Of the country shows that the trouble anoug tho
engineers on the railroads is by no means set
tied. Wherever the reduction IN wages has been
made there is d.scontent; this discomfort, il not
followed By 8 striks. learos the impression that
the strike is but postponed, either in the hope
Of The surrender Of the companies or to meet

majority Of the votes to do it. The Republican
party have majority, and coed many to

upon them, and they must abida By the conse-
quences. The country will hold the Republican
party accountable. But it will also hold every
individual member OF Congress to cn individual
account, and no man WHO votes for any measure
short Of absolute repeal can ever expect to Fit
in Tie halls Of Congress again. bo he Democrat,
Republican, OF what not.
IfCongrcss will repeal tie grab-law, it may
then proceed to the work Of ret1enc!4muut with
clean hands aud in tho proper spirit. The
I" contingent funds OF the President aud the
various Departments may be demolished aud
ecattered. The horses and carriages which Cab
met officers use at the public expense may be
sold. Then tho estimates may be reduced, and,
inntead Of an increase in taxation, we may look
forward to decrease. Gut if Congress COM

piled upon the Public Treasury. Tie whole
matter turns upon the single question: Will
Congress wipe out tho old years account aud
begin the new with different system?
