THE NORTHERN PACIFIC EXTENSION.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC EXTENSION.
The bill agreed on by the committee
granting an extension Of six years to the
Northern Pacific Railroad from July 1st,
1880, allows actual settlers to purchase a
hall section OF land from the company in
stead OF a quarter section as originally
provided. The second section OF the bill
authorizes the Secretary Of the Interior
at this discretion to examine the officers
and agents Of the company and such other
persons as he may deem expedient, touch
ing or concerning their land construction
and equipment, and to audit and de-
termine for the purpose OF this account
the amount to be properly and justly al
lowed as such. The third section as
amended reads: That when the total
amount OF sales OF the said land sold by
the said company shall amount to the cost
OF reconstruction and equipment OF said parts
and portions oi said railroad, aud tele-
graph line heretofore referred to such
lands not used or occupied by said rail-
road company, which shall then remain
unsold by said company, shall revert to
the United States and all money in ex-
cess OF such actual cost shall be covered
into the United States Treasury.
Section four was stricken out and the
following was adopted as q substitute:
"That in order to avail themselves of the
rights and privileges OF this act this COM
pany shall within SIX months from Its pas

Eyes and Ears.

Senator Ben Hill made one of his
Southern hifaluten speeches on the
Kellogg-Spoflord case-one of the sort
which delights the Southern bucolic
auditory, wherein the orator rips with
Euripedes, and scars and spreads the
Southern eagle till the joints of that
unfortunate fowl fairly crack. "Have
the people ears. and hear not the
groans of dying iberty?" he yelled.
Have they ewes, and see not dcspOtism
stalking with brazen front toward the
highest place in the Nationp" This is
eloquent eloquence; this is oratorical
oratory; in short this was speaking
speech. When we calmly reflect upon
these conundrums we are forced to
confess that q great many of the peo-
pie have ears-conspicuously as it were
-of which the presence of Ben Hill
and his sort in the Senate and House
is an auricular testimony, so to speak.
Those are the sort of ears, also, which
.'hear the dying groans OF liberty"
and many other distressing noises,
which people less gifted in the matter
of ears wholly fail to hear. The same
sort of people have eyes also-eyes that
bulge out fearfully-eyes like those of
scared jackass rabbit--eyes that we
doubt not "see despotism stalking
with brazen front toward the high
est place in the Nation" not
to speak of many other remarka-
BILE and uncomfortable visions and
wonders, which ordinary folk are wholly
unable to discern. But Mr.. Hill has
been politely informed by Wade Hamp-
ton Ga gentleman who has In his time

Japanese Firemen.

1t seems that in the midst of a gen.
eral contlagration Japanese house
holder can only insure immunity for his
property by promptly Offering sufii-
cient bribe to the firemen. When this
is done, the latter are perfectly reckless
rs to the destruction of other property
in carrying out their contract. "Hero
is vast city," says the IoSio Times,
containing n million of inhabitants,
all peculiarly exposed to the EXTREMIST
hazards of fire, and without solitary
steam machine in use or existence
with hardly an efficient land engine at
command. 1t is an historical fact that
during conllagration in 1878 n steam
engine. brought to Japan on specula-
tion, was put in operation with a success
that showed how easily a dozen such
could keep the city permanently free
from peril. In less than week after
the triumph upon which he had been
vain!y congratulating himself, the ex-
hibitor found it desirable to leave the
capital with his machine, which was
straiShtway reshipped to America. The
experiment has never been repeated,
and why? Because the firemcn will
not allow it. There is no other answer,
and none is offered. Until the firemen
of Toxic are disbanded, their organiza-
ton broken. and their leaders rendered
incapable of further conspiracies against
the security of the community at large.
no genuine protection will be possible. "

banks are all delicately fringed with
maiden hair and ferns, tho long fern
and the broad leafed growing in rich
profusion, with here and there The color
Of some dainty wild flower. In the
spring time we say these hedges starred
with primrcses, and the lower edges
plentiful!y colored with lenten lilies
and crocuses and the bold " daffadown-
dillies" which flourish like gay maid
ems in the heart of the West-of-E England
country. In the later summer, when
we went down to the moOrs, all the
bold glory had vanished; but there
were still rich blossoms with
stems of purple bells, blue flowers,
narcissus that lays its pure, pa'e bios
SONS so softly against the ferns, the
CLEAN Of sweet-robin here and there,
dandelions, and tiny white flower that
rests on the bosom of the hedges, and
even of the moors, in spite of all the
fierce winds that sweep across the furze
and heather, and finally, best of all, the
intense glow of the scarlet poppy in
fields and roadside, blazing like live
Goals in the deep, cool verdure.
Behind all this, far hack against the
horizon, lay the rich, dark coloring OF
the moor, which cannot be written
down, or even, think, done justice to
in painting; it formed the background
for our little village, its varied shades
toning the perspective with SO dark a
beauty that all paler bloom seemed
faded and lusterless in comparison

perienced personally the dangers which
sometimes esaccompany long ears) that he
hasn't the sort of ears or eyes to which
Benjamin so eloquently appealed.
Mr.. Hill also declared that whoever
votes against unseating Kellogg will
vote to "give up the whole question of
fraud" Well, that is one of the best
questions to give up ever discovered by
the Democratic party. "You decide"
he said, "that the eight members of
the Electoral Commission were right,
and the seven were wrong" That
would be very proper decision, and a
wise one. "You make the Returning
Board respectable, and you bring your
selves into shame" These awful con-
sequences did not seem to impress
Wade Hampton; and Thurman and
Bayard, and several other Democratic
leaders in the Senate are said to be also
prepared to face the consequences, and
speak and vote against unseating Kel-
logg. In fact, it is becoming apparent
that enough Democrats will vote with
the Republicans on this question to de-
feat Hills attempt to unseat Kellogg
by a pretty decisive vote. They will
thereby prove that their ears are of an
intelligent length, and that their eyes
do not see strange and portentous Wis

The Governm mt Service Suffering.

The people are so deeply absorbed i,
the Presidential question that they are
failing to take due notice of the fact
that several important branches of the
Government service are suffering Sc
veIely from the mismanagement and
partisan pig-headedness of the Demo
Gratis in Congress. Perhaps the Judici-
ary Department is suffering more than
any other, the United States Courts in
several States having been obliged to
close on account of the failure of Con-
gress to provide for their running ex-
penses. This has just occurred in Iowa.
A few Gays ago the United States Mar
shall for that district wrote to the At
torney-General stating that he had al
ready advanced more than ten thousand
dollars for the miscellaneous expenses
of the Court, and that he felt unable to
continue that course any longer, and
asking for instructions. In his reply,
the Attorney-General says:

purposes, called the attention of the Appro-
priation Committee in February to the fact
that 1t would be soon exhausted, md in April

Special Notice.

The attention of taxpayers is pecially
called to the provision of the new Code Of
Public General Laws, which says, emph0t-
ically, that the collector shall collect and
pay over the taxes within six months after
receiving the looks, and In the event of
his failure to do go, he shpll be liable 10
prosecution and severe punishment
This means that the collector, having le-
ceived the tax books on the Sd day Of Au-
gust, 1880, is obliged by law, by his oath Of
office and by the bond he has given for the
faithful performance of his duty according
to law, ito collect and pay over the taxes
within six MONTHS" that is by the third
day of February, 1881,
The collector has no discretion in the
matter Having accep cd the office, he is
bound to execute its duties i'll accordance
with law, and he will Therefore be obliged
to collect by the summary process of dis
tress or execution all taxes that are un-
paid on the third day of February, 1881,
and notice is hereby given that all tax bills
for 1880 in arrears on the third day of
February, 1881, will be collected at once
by legal process.
Taxpayers should therefore make pIo.
vision to comply with the requirement of
law so as TO pay their taxes for 1880 before
February Sd, 1881, and thereby save costs
trouble and much unpleasantness.

Justly entitled to a fair recognition at
our hands at the hands of operators,
and at the hands of those called mid
dlemen. Why2 Because they have
been unjustly imposed upon by the
two latter, and dependent classes of
men, to such an extent that it dehes
a parallel in all the history of imposi-
tions that have ever been known in
any community. This, because the
gentlemen above referred to, uninten-
tionally perhaps, and through their
zeal and great love for overburdened
and much oppressed humanity, spoke
of it. Some depraved persons have
looked upon it as something preceding
what they were, in their own mind
and circle, pleased to call Sept. LIST,
1879, namely, "black Friday"
In my opinion public intelligence
should frown upon such base imposi-
tions as have been practicel on men
who have had no time, opportunity,
wealth, nor a sympathizing public, to
assist them in contesting with that
stratum of society which considers
itself little further advanced, and
retains the exclusive right to visit
upon them, at its pleasure, all the
rebuffs and hardships. Take all the
rebates, all the bonuses, replevin when
they wish, (Which may be legal but
not moral law and practice all other
iniustices which it appears to me run
into infnity, and are the resultants OF
minds whose only thoughts are de-
sire to accumulate, not only money,
but like the old woman when she trod
on the toad, to show their authority
regardless of who suffers; caring
nothing for the injustice which they
heap on struggling humanity; looking G
lightly at the brutality practiced on
man, child and beast fearing little
how conspicuously and dangerously
they portray the actions of the social
oligarchy which they have erected,
and from which it is possible for them
to be unceremoniously hurled.
I will now close, still believing
those men were right in saying what
they thought was right, and defend
ing their co-laborers, for it is clear as
the MONDAY sun that the working
classes will never receive justice from
those so-called higher classes of So
ciety until they are ready to extend
similar justice to their so-called social
interiors. Is it possible with peace
full, high, noble and holy sentiments,
superior instructions, practical useful
ness, and their kindred qualifications,
collated, arranged, systematized, and
formulated into scientific law, that
anything can be accomplished?
