THE st. Louis. Globe is bitterly com.
planning about the injustice with which
ahe Union Pacific treats it's brethren IN
the subsidy swindle. According to its
charter, 1t Is required to hold relations
with all connecting subsidy roads, not OF
competitors to be broken down if pOssi-
BE, but Of copartners in business. In
other words it is not permitted to dis
criminate against a branch or connecting
road. The Union Pacific discriminates
In various ways against the Kansas Pa
Niio; so that one can send his freight to
San Francisco, or go himself, from St.
Louis nearly rs cheaply by way of Chi
cage, as to start directly from st. Louis.
1t is claimed that St. Louis is not only
Immensely damaged by this rascality,
but the bond-holders Of the Kansas Paci-
Ao are swindlea out of their interest by
the inability of the road TO pay. The
Globe says:
Gas these two cities contributed about
equally to the plunder which built the
Brans-contineatal monopoly, they have
m equal right to its advantages"
The ''plunder" is what strikes us. The
Globe is strong advocate of more such
Plunder to the Texas Pacific. 1t calls it
BY the right name when chastising the
Union Pacific, and yet it is an open ad-
vooate of more ''plunder". We commits
crate st. Louis in being SO left out in the
sold by the Union Pacific that seems to
care for no city except Chicago. If any
forfeiture Of the charter can be found
against the Union Pacific let the land
subsidy be withdrawn and the concern
be taken by the Government on the cash
subsidy. 1t has forfeited its charter, but
It has a very convenient relief by raising
m issue to be determined by the courts.
1t has the benefit of doubts as to the con-
struction of the charter, and it is very
easy to pretend a doubt when necessary
10 save the lands, the cash and the inter-
est for thirty years. 1t is too smart to be
whipped out in this way. When the
matter is SO plain that a fool may under
stand, no subterfuge should receive at
tsntion.

In his pamphlet just issued by Robert
Clarke, Gen. HaZen makes q most dis
e0uraging statement as to the agricul-
Aural resources of our ssimmense public
domain" His account is made chiefly
from eight years of service in all sec
tions of the country between the Tooth
meridian on the east and'the Sierra Me-
vada mountains on the west, and be-
tween the British Possessions on the
north and Mexico on the south. This re-
gion is about 20 degrees from east to
west and 25 from north to south, and av-
srsges about 20 degrees square, making
shout 100000 of square miles, or two
thirds of the entire area OF the United
States and territories, exlusive Of
Alaska.
It includes the entire territories of
Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, two
thirds of Washington, one-half of Dako-
=, one-third of the State OF Nebraska,
enc. third of Kansas, together with the
WQUl6 Vi NStdud, tWO-tulTub VI oregon
pnd one.third of Texas. The one hun
dreth meridian is the west boundary of
the Indian territory.
or this region Gen. Hazen says that
sthe early maps condensed it., for the
most part, as an arid DESERT" But the
development of the mines and the fanati-
sism OF railway and land speculation
saused "these 'bad lands,' sandy plains,'
wasted DESERTS 'basins Of SALT 'black
hills,' and 80 on" to be practically de-
pcribed as "fruitful as the vale of Cash
mere. Here were "homes for the home
less and 'lands for the landless!' These
md other catchwords were used to en-
Bnare the unwary."
As to the success of the settlers who
were deceived by the land spectators
De says: "The fruitless, exhaustive
struggle OF the settler to produce some
Ming from the barren soi, his misery
bnd destitution only those can know
whose duties station them within the

The science Of advertising is shown to
be best understood by those who use the
columns of the newspapers. And the
advertising business, it seems, like all
others, Succeeds only where it is well at

EISMAREE IND DELGINM

A great many people who syinpathize az
Protestants with Prince Bismarck in his fight
against the Pope, and far greater number
who agree with him in the general PROPOSE
ton that the civil power should always he
supreme in the State, will still find it diff
cult to follow tho iron Chancellor in all his
raids and skirmishes undertaken in the course
of his campaign. Even while his attentions
are confined to his own cOantrymcn, and we
may say, subjects, it is hard to approve them
always, either from the point OF view of taste
or expcdiency. Putting Bishops in Jail, aud
sending policemen to collar priests at the altar
among % crowd OF Mortified worshpers, are
not measures which most of us would think
best calculated to attain the desired ends.
Tho history of the world has shown that
where one faith has been given the appear
ancc of suffering persecution at the hands OF
another, the result has been an increase of
feryor in the prosecuted belief, and a decline
of cacncstnes5 and energy among the adheIents
of the dominant creed. But we would be slow
to Judge the conduct of q man OF Che eDor-
nous CAPACITY and resources OF Prince Bis
marck, in q matter which he has so pro-
foundly considered. He knows the Gernon
people DtlttI any otiC eioV' ''bN No""'i~'''

proceeding with them. So far he has made
few important mistakes in matters which con-
cenod them, and until he does 50, it would
be prudent for foreigners to refrain from cx-
pressing too decided opinions in regard to the
cxpcdiency of his domestic policy.
Bu. i should not be forgotten that his great
success IS nave been obtained by this knowi
edge of his own people and not by any great
sagacity in relation to other nations. 1t re-
CURED little insight for him to see how easy
it would be for Prussia to whip the smaller
German States in detail and throw Austria
| out of the COnfederacy. In 1870 he was play
ing with a pair Of imbccilcs, Napoleon III.
and Benedict, who allowed him t. sec every
card in their hands The ODa thing upon
which Napoleon III. relied was npOa the i'm
possibility of II solid German alliance against

his ambassadors at Berlin and Vienna and BY

and the back pay standing in his name was
duly covered in. Mr.. KellOggs record not
having been overhauled in time to give his
opponents the opportunity to force him to dis
gorge, he has the advantage, now that the
election is over and lost, of having snug
little sum awaiting his order at Washington.
OF course he won't draw it though. We re-
member to have seen it stated with great DIS
tnctness and repeated with much emphasis
by some of the cheerful and sincere news
papers of bis district that he did not and
would not draw cent Of 1t, and that very
few statesmen were more disgusted than he
with the whole transaction. W@don't believe
he will draw it, Still it is great deal OF
money.
Obviously there has been misunderstanding
ing about this matter. Would it not be well
to make a little further inquiry into it. 1t
may be that somebody is waiting for this
ching to blow over" before they draw this
little balance. A list of delinqlcnts would

BACK Pay AGAIN.

One of the devices of the Administration
lnanagers in Connecticut, in the late canvass,
Was 10 put in circulation a charge that Mr..
Barnum of the WITH District had received
and pockctcd the back pay which made the
Mild Congress Infamous. 1t was Il very
weak charge, because of the fact that Mr.
Barnum's weakness does not lie in that direc-
ton and his constituents would not credit it.
There were arguments enough against Mr..
Barnum which were sound aud weighty the
importation OF this accusation into the can
vass aided rather than injured him, since it
gave his friends the opportunity Of saying
that he was misreprcsentcd and abused, and
Of making an appeal in his behalf on That ac-
count. The charge did one good thing, how
ever. 1t developed the actual facts in rcla-
ton to .he back pay which has not been coy
cred into the Treasury.
II seems that what is called the back pay
due under the act Of the Mild Congress in
crcasing certain salaries, except in those cases
where ii has been covered into the Treasury
upon the express order Of the person to whom
it was payable, is sill held subject to that
person's order. The impression has been all
along that when members of Congress have
not drawn the Dack pay IL mas been covered
in and put beyond their reach by the pro-
visions of an act or resolution passed early in
the first session of the XLIIld Congress. The
inquiry 10 Mr.. Barnum'S case disclosed the
fact that an express order from the Congress.
man in whose name it was drawn from thc
Treasury is required in order to effect its re.
turn. The Democrats in Mr.. Kelloss's dis
tiict might have discovered, If they had been
sharp enough, that Mr.. Kellogg was in pic.

his back pay still lying subject to bis order
