1t is reported that Mr.. Gladstone will be
elevated to the House of Lords with the title
of Earl of Oxford. About the time he is ele-
waited he will be old enough to be elevated

We have been auxiously looking for the
next chapter Of The Inter-Mountain's serial
tale, entitled, "The Fl. Gustav Star Route
Frauds" 1t is too cruel in our evening con-
temporary to leave all eager and excited
community in suspense in regard to the hor-
rible fate of the principal characters in that
blood-curdling novel. We have been in
formed that Susan b. Anthony is the heroine
OF the story, and what an anxious people

The English bond-llulders of the Conieder-
ate Cotton Loan Of 1868 held their annual
meeting at London ON the LIST inst. While
admitting they had no legal claim on the
American government, they concluded some
thing might be done by making a friendly ap-
peal to it. The speakers thought that the au-
thorities al Washington may turn a more ia
vorable EAR TO their requests from the fact
that the Bank of England still held some res
idue Of the loan. In this our British cousins
are mistaken. Uncle Samuel is now shoul-
dering about all the pecunlary responsibilities

The livery stable organ has extended the
scope OF its vision by looking through a larger
horse collar. and In turning its face to the |
morning il has discovered that Jay Gould
has eujoined the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company from operating its road for 100
miles across the land giant of the
Texas Pacific. The stable organ should
have told the whole story when 1t was
about it. 1t should have added that
the Southern Pacific was already built over
this strip of private property" and that Mr.
Gould has sued the Southern Pacific for So
100000 damages. When the facts of the case
are Tally known ali enquiring public will
learn that the right Of way cuts a secondary
figure in the animus Of the suit.
The organ Of slow transit wisely informs |
its readers that legal truth is eliminated
from the conflict Il hostile interests After
delivering itself Of this astonishing platitude
it sagely remarks that 'sthe Southern Pacific |
