MONTGOMERY BLAIR, an everlasting
office-seeker, now a member of the
Maryland Legislature, offered a reso-
luton in the Legislative body of which
he is member, that proposes to open
thequestion in Congress as to whether
a bargain was made between Presi-
dent Hayes and certain Southerners,
on the Presidential question, one
year ago The "goodie that Mr..
Blair is after, is an office-a United
States Senatorship-and his reason
for trying to open the question is to
so popularize himself that the Leg
islature of Maryland will be fooled
into electing him to the coveted Office.
He is a chronic Offices seeker.

RAILROAD EXToRTION.

No railroad corporation can permanent
~ succeed unless II has the sympathy and
cooperation of the people upon whom 1T
depends Tor support. An equitable and
satisfactory rate of charges, both for
carrying freight and passengers. is the
suTest way Of securing the good will of
the public patTonIzing railroad. While
there may be many other things necessa-
~ IN the management of a well reg ulated
railroad corporation, this is the most i'm
poIiaut. With abort aghtedness,
amounting almost TO imbecility, the man
ayers Of many Of our railroads. when
ever they may temporarily have the power,
exact the most eXhOrbitant rates. and at
once, and properly, incur the hostility of
the people They seem TO forget. in the
inoTdinats desire TO grind out big divi-
dends for the stockholders. that the ulti-
mate source Of civil pOWoE in this conn
try is the people. and that the very exis-
tence of corporations depends upon the
popular viii. The capacity 70 iudIciously
exercise large powers Is possessed, unfor-
tunateiy By bat few. This Is forcibly il
Illustrated in the management of many of
or railroads il ihis country. Perhaps
m nc instance in the history of our rail
roads can il be shown that they did not
outrage and Cypress the people whenever
they had the power 20 do so. The only
safety for q people subjected to the on
crous burdens imposed 10y railroad corpo-
Tstions. which are not kept within rea-
souable bounds by competition, is TO take
the matter in their own hands, and assert
their sovereignty. In many sections of
the West the public arc but the slaves OF
railroads. They are compelled to sub
NIT 10 the most unjust and extoTtionste
eXacttlons. They are at the mercy of a
power which cannot feel and never shows
mercy. such oppression is inevitably,
sooner or later. must result in reslstence.
The authority OF the people will be assert
ed, THIS has been done in many instan.
ces within the past few years. and the
ssfDe sort OF Justice which the railroads
lave melted to the people has been meas
ursd out 10 these corporations, resulting
frequently in their complete bankruptcy.
IL Is well for all railroads making arbi.

came in from Omaha Monday morning.
He is cattle trader and was on bis way
to Texas from whence he had come. While
waiting for his train he was accOsted by y
man who wore long linen duster. black
hat and black pants. The now conner rep
resented himself to be cattle man and
the two were coon exchanging yarns. The
pretended cattle man asked Carr across
the street to have glass Of beer and Carr
accepted the invitation, Two more men
now entered the saloon. game of cards
for the beer was proposed. and Carr and
his acquaintance were matched against
these two men for a game Of ssven-up.
The game finally narrowed down to Carr
and one of the two strangers who entered
the saloon. Care luck was still with
him and he was beating the stranger eyes

long absence and started back to investi-
gate. When he returned he found that
the men in the saloon had gone. and then
he realized that he had fallen into the
hands of the Philistines aud had been
shorn of his strength to the amount Of
