IOCdl railway miles. 1850
Col. Scott and his Subsidy Mill demand
that Congress shall direct the Secretary of
the Treasury to indorse upon the bonds of
the Texas & Pacific Railway Company that
the United States guarantee the interest on
such bonds at the rate of five per cent. per
annum in gold for forty years, at the rate of
$4,000 of bonds for each mile of road, 1862
miles of which is already built.
A few figures will serve to illustrate the
magnitude of the demand which Col. Scott's
Railroad Company and Col. Scott's Construc-
ton Company have made upon the tax-pay-
ers of this country:
Total number of miles of railway........ 2,934
RAJ Rate Of bonds per mile 10000
Annual interest to be paid by United
otoi s'Ss ;ntaras s, Uoo
This is the grist which the St. Louis Sub
sidy Mill ground out last week: an annu-
al payment of $5, ,s6s.OOO in gold for forty
gears, aggregating $S34, 100000.
Such in brief are the proportions of Mr..
Scott's plunder scheme. The Credit Mobilier
is mere bagatelle compared with it. And
yet the members of the Subsidy Mill declared
last week that majority of both branches of
Congress are in favor of the scheme. We
cannot believe it because we cannot conceive
that any body of men of ordinary intelligence
can vote for such bare-faced robbery
without expecting such storm Of popu-
lar indignation as was never experienced in
this country. Congressmen should know
that the intelligence of the nation well IN
derstand that this gigantic subsidy is scheme
to enrich gambling and bankrupt railroad
spectators at the cost of the over-taxed peo-
pie of the nation, and will class the Congress
men who vote for it with him who took thir-
ty pieces of silver as his price.
As an example of this system Of plunder
which the manager of the Subsidy Mill pro-
proses, it may be stated that Mr.. Scott's Con-
struction Company received $37,0OO,O 900, or
about 100000 per mile for building the part
of the road now completed which he received
in the bonds of the company now worthless.
BY Scotts own report, the road cost him
S11, ,OO0,0 900, or about $4,000 per mile. BY

The newspaper correspondents at Wash
ington are anticipating lots of fun this winter.
The spectacle of Democratic House seeking
for policy, and taking very good care not to
find one, will be very amusing. The Demo-
Gratis are not so happy over the prospect as
they might be, and are in constant apprehen-
sion of blunders.

THE career of DR.. Strausberg, the railroad
contractor who has recently failed at st. Pc
tersburg, has been a remarkable one. He
was born in Prussia, his parents being in very
humble circumstances. When twelve yeals
old he went TO London, educated himself, and
tried his hand at journalism. In 184S he
came to this country and taught German.
He remained here ten years, making some
money by lucky speculation. He then re-
turned to London, where he started several
newspapers, meeting with varying success.
Six years later he went to Berlin as an in
surance agent. In 1854 he contracted for
the construction of the Tilsit-Insterburg rail-
way. Within six years he was building a
dozen lines, and employing over hundred
thousand workmen. He bought an entire
county in Poland, great estates in Prussia
and Bohemia, and built palace at Berlin
rvalling in magnifcence those of the State.
In his charities he was magnificent, causing
ten thousand portions of soup to be given
daily to the poor in winter, in addition to
$4,000 worth of wood. He sent whole trains
laden with corn and potatoes into East Prus-
sia during the famine there, aud was in many
other respects very generous man.

THE report tfat the British parliament will
meet before Christmas to consider the condS
ton of Turkey suggests the statement that
previous to 1882 ante-Christmas sessions were
usual. Parliament was wont to assemble In
November, listen to the speech from the
throne, transact some formal business, and
then adjourn over the holidays, much as con-
gress does now.

who believes John Wilkes Booth is still alive;
she was once engaged to be married to him,
but broke off the match and requested the re-
turn of her letters, which he refused. Her
story goes that she never heard directly from
him again until two years after his reported
death. when a man called at her house at dusk.
