Communication Necessary for Develop
 ment.

Some parties have become more or less discouraged because Arizona has not developed more rapidly during lhe past two or three years. They readily admit great advancement % far as rich discoveries are concerned, but they complain of lack of substantial de. velopment with corresponding finan- cial results. Many have cherished the dream that & rich discovery must pro duce immediately lively camp and plenty of bullion, no matter how re mote or difficult of access the locality may be. If we consider the means and Cost of transportation, living, &c., We will find that comparatively large amount of machinery and other min- ing materials has very recently been brought into our Territory, and the contrast between Arizona three years ago and now will be found most cn. couraging, both as regards our home interests and the general prominence of our Territory abroad.
 The Los Angeles Herald has the fol- lowing fair comments on this subject:
 It is in the highest degree unreason- able to expect 6 Territory as isolated as Arizona has been and yet is to give d good account of itself The question of cheap transportation is everything in developing the mineral capabilities of B virgin region. Under present con dions AriZonans have only been aLle 10 work their very richest lOdes. Where food itself has been so dear as to make prospecting costly and only the most primitive methods of trans purtaliou to and from tue interior nave been available, not much was to be ex- pected With a railway from Denver pushing rapidly to the heart of the Territory from the East, and with the Southern Pacific fairly on it's career from the west towards Tucson, we shall soon know whether or no Ar. Zona is an inchOate Nevada.

RHEUMATISM IS A DISEASE OF
 THE BLOOD.

The blood In this disease, is found to contain an excess or ibrin. Vegetine acts by converting the blood from its di- seHsed condition to a healthy circulation. Vegctine regulates the bowels which is very important Tn this complaint. One bottle of Vegetine will give relief; but. to effect a permanent cure, it must be taken regularly, and may take several bottles, especially in cases of long standing. Vege- tine is sold by all Druggists. Try it, and your verdit will be the same as that Of thousands before you, who say, "I never found 90 much relief as from the use Of Vegetine," which is composed exclusively Of Barks, Roots and Herbs.

THE RAILROAD KING,

While CORNELIUS VANDERBILT, who was
known as the Commodore, was living, lie
was the Railroad King of America. lie
was constantly reaching out and bringing
within his charmed railroad circle new cap
tures of enterprise to swell the empire Of
his power, until he had reached an estate
of extraordinary magnitude. Indeed, he
was king-but he died-and his railroad
crown and sceptrc passed into the hands of
his son, WILLIAM II. VANDERBILT, who
has proved no less o conqueror than his
father. His range of railroad control Is to-
day wider and more gigantic than that of
his father when his star was at its zenith.
Whether or not he is periecting the plans
and purposes of his sire, Of course is un-
known, but whether that is the case or he
is carrying out schemes of his own, 1t makes
but little difference, and IL is enough to
know that ho has greatly exceeded the
power Of his illustrious sire In the control
of railroad lines and properties. The fol-
lowing table, which we clip from the New
York Graphic, shows the outline Of his i'm
mense control:

him In any discussion OF the issues involved in
the Porter inquiry.
But we have referred to this subject chiefly
for the purpose Of entering our protest against
the point Of Wow which the Post and so many
other journals have adopted In their treatment
of It. In somo quarters II seems to be regarded
rs the natural thing for u Democrat to defend
General Porter as n brave and honorable Dem.
ocrat who has been greatly wrongcd. Now, "
General Porter can find no better ground to
stand on than his Democracy, and no defend
ers except those who defend him because he Is
on the right side In politics, he must have a
very bad case.
We pity General Porter, because he has been
for years resting under a stigma the most gall.
ing q soldier can endure. II he has suffered
unjustly we hope the court now In session at
West Point will vindicate him. But his
friends ought to know that he cannot be
helped by heapng abuse upon General Hunter
or the other members Of the court-niartial that
dismissed General Porter from the army six.
teen years ago. That court may have been
mistaken; Il certainly was honest. The whole
question Is one Of facts, aud the necessary de-
ductions thercfrom. The sentence Of General
Porter was generally accepted at the time by
the army Of the Potomac as u just one and its
effects were salutary, To reverse II now will
require, not proof that General Porter knew
more about the cnemys forces and the proper
way to meet them than Pope and Mcdowell
did, but proof that he executed the orders he
received from them with alacrity, and loyalty
did all he could to render tho campaign, foi
the conduct Of which Pope and not Porter was
| responsible, n successful one.

Those who are best posted In such mat
ters, estimate that WILLIAM ii. WANDER
BILT has at his command ut least $780, ,0O0-
900, with which TO carry on these extended
operations. He has control Of two lines
running out of tho city of New York lead
ing west and north, the Hudson River and
Harlem. These centre at Albany, where
they intersect the New York Central, which
is his main trunk westward. As tributaries
to this main line he takes in the Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern, the Canada South
ern, the Michigan Central and Rochester
and State Line Roads, which enter the city
Of Chicago by two trunk lines. In oil these
roads, except the Lake Shore, Mr..
VANDERBILT has absolute control of q ma
jority OF the stock He is now feeling for
the control of the Lake Shore, which is
valued at s50,OO0,OOO, though in the market
It represents in value only S2S,O00,0 600
in other words, SIS, ,000,0 900 would now pur-
chase the absolute control Of that stock, and
for man who wields $3.50, 100000, this sum
would seem to be mere bagatelle, and we
regard 1t only n question Of time when Mr..
VANDERBILT will bag that road. This is
in accord with his system oftactics. When
he wants to capture line he purchases
majority of its stock, elects his own board
of directors, and then he has matters his
own way.
The accumulation of such immense in
tcrcsts in few hands has n tendency to re-
duce the number of operators in Wall
street and 10 render that theatre Of specu-
latiOn more stable and less dangerous As
the chances of Sudden wealth or poverty
are reduced the circle of speculation be-
comes circumscribed and less exciting. The
street Is now controlled substantially by
VANDERBILT, GOULD, RUSSELL SAGE, and
Mr.. KEESE. The wealth Of Wall street is
concentrated in few hands, and the large
school of lesser fry that have heretofore
rushed in to be swallowed up are crushed
out. The market is more stable-the small
dealers having lost oil control over it, and
hence have but very little interest in it.
This operates 40 o safeguard against the
shipwreck of limited fortunes, IL it does
not check that class of operators altogether.
The market is less panicky, and hence less
attractive, and, indeed, less dangerous.
Small dealers find themselves literally
"frozen out" by the magnitude of the trans
actions carried on by these giants of finance.
VANDERBILT is king, and goes steadily on
conquerins and to conquer.
