THE Commissioner of Public Lands has
made the startling discovery that within the
limits of the United States, north of Texas
and between the Indian Territory and New
Mexico, is a parallelogram of nearly 10000
acres, 100000 cattle and large number of
outlaws, without any form of government.
These people will have to be closely watched,
as they may some slime take it into their
heads to send one of their number to the
United States Senate.

THE ABSORBING MONOPOLIES.

The Union Pacific Railroad last year col
lected from the country in fares and frelghts
S25. 1894 1OG. More than half of this sum was
IN profits. The earnings of the Central Pa
cific were even larger in proportion to the
number of miles of road operated. These
two CORPORATION drew from the people nearly
or quite S25 ,OOO,O OO in profits. That is, the
people were compelled to pay to these two
corporations in profits sum equal to eight
per cent on $500, 100000. Will anyone tell US
what these two companies have ever done to
merit such magnificent annual reward from
their countrymen? A splendidly equipped
double-trached narrow gauge railroad from
Benica to Omaha would not cost to exceed
$sO,O00,000. Eight per cent on this amount
would be only Sc, 400, 900, and Sc. 100000 more
would pay all running expenses and repairs.
For the same service the people are now pay
ing, instead of Sl2,S0O,O00, just ~'"'a~ 5oGr
times that sum. 1t is an ARA, II iAutS which
railroad and business men should consider
we'll.
Touching on this subject, the Salt Lake Tri-
bune says: 'The profits of the country are
being absorbed by the railroads. They are
growing so rich that they have become
source of anxiety to the people and the Gov
eminent. The way to arrest their career is
for the business men of each State and Terri
tory to build their own cheap roads. There
is movement inaugurated in the East to
build a complete system of narrow gauge
roads, It is in the right direction, and should
be encouraged in every State and Territory,
until railroads, like every other species Of
property. are reduced to 2 point whore they
will have to work for fair profit over actual
expenses on a reasonable capitalization.
THE FLEETING PILGRIM.-The Tribune of
last evening gives Senator Hammond de-
served scoring for leaving the Senate for a
trip to New York. It says: "A man cannot
serve God and Mammon,' so the Bible says,
but Senator Hammond seems to have solved
that problem. He serves Mammon by draw
ing pay from the State for work unperformed,
and GOO by attending Methodist Conference
or convention in the East. his expenses of
travel for the same being paid. Much indig-
nation is expressed at his course, and there is
talk of getting up petition requesting his
resignation, and telegraphing it to him along
the railroad until it reaches him. 1t is the
prevailing opinion that this sleek servant of
the firm of Mammon & Hammond fed the
country to avoid voting on some of the rail
road bills. man who believes in railroads
and votes for them is much more entitled to
respect than one who shirks both sides of
question and flies from the field before the
enemy is in sight. While Hammond is in
New York he had better remain there, as his
presence in this section is in no way desirable.
A petition asking him to resigne should be
circulated at once.

reputation all over the United States by be-
coming a distinguished absentee: there is no
reason why any member of State Legisa-

ment for Sharon, and will prove disastrous to
the other two. Coffin was in his seat yester-
day for the first time in several days.

A contemporary says ''Ioo much
cannot be said in praise Of the instru-

they never fail to delight al audience
with their artistic and complete rendi-
ton of the most difficult compositions.
The programme included selections by
the company as 4 parlor orchestra,
singing melodies on the Swiss bells,
cornet and saxophone solos, and char
acter songs and delineation by Mr..
Chas. Duncan. The ventriloquial, hu-
morisms of Mr.. G. w. Brewster, assis-
ted by his family Of blockheads, is the
best and purest fun we have ever wit
messed. Never have the Berger's offer
ed the public an Entertainment so re-
plete with novelty. sentiment and hu-
NOR, and withal of such prominent ar
tistic excellence. We must not fail of
one word Of endorsement Of the Ber-
gers Grand Military Band. In their

quisite playing we must acknowledge
them the finest organization we ever
witnessed, either travelling OF stationary.

A Novel idea.

A Novel Idea.
a writer in the Newberry HERALD
of the 26th, over the signature of WET
and Dry" suggests rather novel idea
for retailing liquor. He proposes that
the Council refuse to grant any more
license, and for that body to establish a
liquor house of its own; keep nothing
but the best liquors, and deal it out by
the bottle. In other words, for the
Council to prohibit the sale Of liquor by
any others than themselves-e7en
Druggists are to be denied-and for the
'city fathers" of Newberry to become
the lordly and digni6ed proprietors of
one big Saloon, alias bar-room. Of
course. said writer would expect the
members of Council to get their drink
ing frees If SO, the thing might not pay.
