highways which it has been permitted
to construct and use, and it is exercis-
ing franchises granted by the public
which gave that public authority over
it. But it threatens to become a
question whether the master or
servant is the more powerful, and
which shall rule the other The pub
lie can work only through legislation
and the administration of laws, and
the railroad confederacy will vie with
the people in making and controlling
Legislatures and Administration.
They have already entered into the
contest here and there and at one time
and another, and not without instances
of remarkable success. The United
States Senator before quoted predicted
that ga struggle is impendin. in the
near future between this overgrown
power, with its vast ramifcations all
over the Union and hard grip on
much of the political machinery, on
the one hand, and the people in an
unorganized condition on tie other,
for the control of the Government. "
This new and growing confederacy
overlies State lines and is outgrewing
local Jurisdictions. Interior political
boundaries can neither confne nor
divide it. The Government which it
will ultimately aim to control is the
National Government, and the power
that must bring 1t into subsection is
the National power. The longer the
struggle is put off the harder and
more disturbing it will be. Shall
it be postponed until the whole aroused
energy of the Nation is necessary to
bring the confedsracy of railroads into
submission to lawful authority and in
to respect for the rights of the
people ?

A FLOOD.

The rains of Saturday and Sunday
nights together with the sudden melting
of the large quantity of snow which fell
on Friday, changed small creeks into
large rivers At Francis Creek, in Kos
suth, considerable damage was done by
the bursting of mill dam on Sunday
night. The creek itself is small but the
mill pond covers large area, and when
its waters were suddenly added to those
of the creek it created a torrent which
swept everything in its track. The food
struck a barn belonging to Mr. Pankratz
and carried it away as if it were light
piece of timber. In the barn were some
horses, cattle and sheep all of which were
swept away. A barn belonging to Anton
Chloupek was also carried off. At the
time there were some persons in this
barn. They managed to climb ON to the
roof and went with the current until
some trees were reached when they chung
on to some projecting limbs. They did
not leave the barn minute too soon for
directly after it went to pieces. In this
barn there were also horses, cattle and
sheep, and they were also swept away.
Everything which was on the track of
the torrent was borne away. The dwell
ing house of Mr.. Chloupek was invaded
by the waters and the furniture in the
lower rooms was floating. So deep was
the water that heavy piano was moved
from its place. Every bridge crossing
the creek was demolished, and every
vestige of the dam was removed.
From every part of the county news
comes of the carrying away of bridges.
On Monday afternoon there was immi-
nent danger of the dam at the Branch
being swept away by the immense guam
tity of water which had gathered above
it. Log booms burst at many places, and
logs were scattered far and wide.
