from thirty to fifty per cent. than
the Government now must pay for
transportation that would be fur
nished by the new line. Tin addi-
ton to the immediate practical
economy Of the measure, it would
quicken our industry, make an open

the oppressive monopoly that has
been reared on Government robbery,
crowd emigrants into the genial eli
mate and fruitful valleys of the
Southwest, and assure. peace to our
now constantly imperiled frontiers
men. Itisa battle between banded
plunderers and nlonopolists, who
use their stolen gains to defeat open
competition on the one side, and
honest enterprise with Government
supervision of expenditures and
control of rates on the other side.
Perhaps the Huntington-Gould lob

eminent money to defeat the Gov

from opening a competing highway

dream that he can serve the jobbers

ATribnte 10 nrr. 3. Polk Inhnson


The reporter of the Frankfort
Yeoman pays the following tribute
to Mr.. E. Polk Johnson, the Assist
ant Clerk of the Kentucky House of
Representatives
For sometime past the Assistant
Clerk of the House, Hon. E.. Polk
johnson, has been absent from his
desk, confined to his room by a
serious, and, am sorry to say, an
organic affection of the heart.
Inasmuch as he has gone home
| to return here no more, it is emil
nently fit that there should be some
recognition of his services as an
official, his worth as a man. and his
truth as friend. And let me say,
that | approach this subject, feeling
that what I say of him will be en-
dorsed by all who know him, by
| friend, and, if he may have any, by
/ foe. AS an officer, he may be said
! truly to have fallen with his harness
on. Weakened by his exhaustive
labors, sick, weary, almost fainting,
he persevered, and, perSevering
Was olIACh0H uOWH ny sdlSOFueI
that / much fear will close the life
and the work of Poke Johnson. His
work was always well performed
here, and it is superfiuous to. say he
will be missed from his desk. AS q
man he is in no need of any eulogy
| of mine; and as friend any one who
has been intimate with him car
/ testify TO the value of the possession
of his friendship; and / can add no
more earnest or graceful tribute tt
his worth than when I say that an
universal expression of sincere re
greet was current in the Senate and
House when his serious illness was
made known.

NAVAL DISASTER IN THE BRIT
ISH CHANNEL. IS


On the 18th inst, about $50 p. NJ,
the training ship Eurydice, of the
British Navy, was struck by sud-
den squat, capsized and out of be-
tween 800 and 400 on board all but
a man and a boy were drowned or
persisted with cold. The day had
been unusually fine and mild for
the season and the change in the
afternoon was almost instantaneous.
The ship was off Dun-nose, in the
Isle of. Wight, and was near enough
for the details of her. rigging to be
clearly visible from shore. Suddenly
she became invisible through being
enveloped in snow storm, and
when the air cleared she was no
longer in sight, but a schooner, the
Emma, was cruising on the spot en-
deavOring to rescue the men. Five
of these were taken out of the water,
but three of them died afterwards,
leaving only Benz Cuddeford, able
seaman, and Sydney Fletcher, first
class boy, alive. The boy Fletcher
says he was down below when the
squall struck /; that he rushed on
deck, found the ship on her side
sinking, leaped in the water and
seized life-buoy. The ship went
down half a minute after he left her
and the suck drew him down to a
great depth. He gave himself up
for lost, but held on to the buoy,
which rose with him and he was
taken up by the Emma.

FIRE I'M PHILADELPnIA.

A very serious conflagration has
occurred in Philadelphia this week.
1t broke out on Fourth street, in the
drug house of w. III. Wampole q
Co., and a strong wind carried the
flames northward till they involved
the houses Nos. 1913, 125, 127, 129.
Southwark they extended to Nos.
121, 119, liz. Several explosions
occurred in the first house attacked,
and the front wall falling outwards
set fire to No. 126 on the opposite
side, and southwark from that to
No. 122, and again northward to
1872. The roof of No. III falling in
started the fire further southwards
as far as ILL.,. So far the confagra-
ton was confined to Fourth street,
but the sparks flying extended the
destructive flames to many houses on
Cherry and Third and afterwards
Second street. About l A. NJ. on the
Goth the fires were under the control
of the fire department, about thirty
buildings, mostly business houses,
having been consumed. The whole
loss is estimated at over a million
| dollars.

The recent sudden death of Con-
gresham Leonard, in Cuba, has
caused considerable excitement
among his colleagues in the House
of Representatives, many of whom
refuse to accept the statement that
he died of yellow fever, and assert
that he had been the victim of a
conspiracy and had been foully
murdered. The Secretary of State
has telegraphed to our Consul Gen
eral at Havana to have the
body sent to New Orleans, from
whence it will be sent by rail to
West Chester, Pa, and inferred
there. Its well known here, that
love affair was at the bottom of
Mr.. Leonard's visitto Cuba; but the
exact nature of this is merely q mat
ter of conjecture. After the body
arrives in this country, Speaker
Randall will appoint a congressional
committee to proceed to New Or
leans and escort the remains from
there to the place of interment.

Mr.. Schurz, the Secretary of the In.

were well-timeG or justifiable, and
Mr.. Blaine's stoutest friends regret
that he made them. Although the
ex-Speaker of the House has not
made his mark in the Senate as il
was expected he would; for while
he has neglected no opportunity fol

has not, so far, identified himself

a POINT GAINED.

The Texas Pacific bill having
passed the House of Representatives
under the able management of our
representative, the Hon. John F.
House, and gone to theS enateand be-
ing there referred to the appropria-
ate committee has been sent back
to the Senate with favorable re-
port. On the other hand, the Cen
trail Pacific extension bill intended to
defeat that measure has been re-
ported back to the Senate without
recommendation. This is better
than we anticipated from the Senate
and gives the Texas Pacific a fair
chance of passing in spite of the
lobbying of the Huntingdon-GOuld
combination. The comparative
merits of the two bills are so clearly
and concisely stated in the following
extract from the Philadelphia Times
that we prefer to give it as it stands
rather than to give a lesG fnrcible
statement in our own the
more so because it Is NOT so common
in the Northern press as might be
desired to see the question fairly
stated, And yet it is really the in
terest of the North as we'll as the
South that there should be COM

Central companies should to that
extent be deprived of that monopoly
which enables them to dictate ex-
orbitant conditions to North and
South alike;
The United States Senate had the
Texas Pacific railroad bill reported
from the committee yesterday, with
the recommendation that it pass,
and the HuntingdOn-Gould measure
was reported without recommends
ton. The bill is practically the
same as that reported favorably in
the House, and it looks now as if it
may receive the approval of both
branches. The whole question is in
a nutshell. We have now one trans
continental highway that was built
wholly by the Government; that
enriched the builders with tens of
millions of profit; that is now

almost dressed in green. The woods

kept continually fighting fire, as
ome-seoundrels make it a point to.
fire the woods in this vicinity during
the spring months. Hanging is too
good for one who will deliberately
fire the woods, and thereby put his
neighbOrs' barns and fences in jeops

timber. Hundreds of acres of young
timber have been burned off and
ruined by the incendiary hand. We
camenear catching one of the scoun-
drels not long since; we caught his
dog and cut his ears off so that we
will know him when we see. him
again. A man is a thief in the
largest sense of the'word who will
malieiouslyset fire to the property of
others, and the law is not stringent
enough with such parties.

Diplomacy is still weaving its in
eXtricable web. Russia is striving
to detach Austria from cooperation
with England in order that shemay
defy the latter; Austria is trying to
gain her purposes by making demon
STATIONS, but getting others to do
her fighting; England is angrily
blowing the waters of the Bosphorus
and waiting impatiently to see what
may turn up; Turkey, in the calm
ness of despair, is doing the will of
her cOnqueror and awaiting further
orders. The conference is receding
further and further from mems
sight, and threatening to become
invisible. Able editors meanwhile
are exercising their powers of inven-
ton day by day to supply the de-
mands of the sensation market, a
competition from which this editor
abstains, and, knowing nothing,
