A Gigantic Land Steal.

A bill has been introduced into Con-
gress to take away from certain railroad
corporations lard grants they have for
feited from failing 70 fulAll the condi-
tions ON which these grants we're made.
Statistics have been furnished Congress
which show that tho forfeited lands
amount to AZ. Ooo. 900 aorea This 10
equal to one eighth tho area Of tho
United States Il embraces . territory
Ten times larger than that Of Ireland.
Remember this u not al tho land
stolen from tho people and given away
TO railroad corporations BY corrupt
Congress. These 227, O0O, 600 acres arc
only that portion Of the giant land steal
that the railroad corporations have for
feited by failing TO complete their roads
in the time specified The bill now be-
fore Congress provides that "all public
lands heretofore granted to States and
to railroad corporations 10 aid in the
construction q railroad and tele-
graph lines, on condition that such
work should be completed within the
time specified in the grants to which tho
corporations engaged in the construction
of such railroad did not acquire rights
patent prior TO expiration Of the time
within which, by the terms Of the
grants, such roads wcre required 70 be
completed, are hereby declared forfeited
to the United States !; and Ill such lands
are hereby reserved to the public lands
Of the United States, and are declared
subject to all provisions OF law touching
public lands.
II will be seen that the bill only deals
with the land. which by the clear terms
Of the grants il forfeited TO the Gov
eminent. Congress said 10 these rail-
roads: II you fulfll certain conditions
we viii give yon q . free gift an area
three times larger than that Of England,
Ireland and Scotland combined.
All that railroads hal TO do was 10
complete their roads within . certain
specified time. The magnificent empire
promised them ought TO have been, one
would suppose. IN incentive 10 them TO
scrupulOnsly fulfill the conditions i'm
posed upon them. But, confident Of
their power ct Washington. the railroads
allowed the years 10 slip by without
complying with tho terms Of
the grants which gave them such
IN enormous portion d the public do
main. The belief that their influence
would prevent any alienation OF these
lands. even II they did not carry out the
contract by which they acquired them,
made the railroads careless. Indeed.

How Northwestern Farmers Arc
Skinned.

II has been demonstrated that freight
can be carried on long routes BY rail At
I mills per ton per milo At fair profit.
The tonnage Of the four trunk lines he.
tween Chicago and tho Atlantic seaboard
for 1880 Iaggregated In round numbers
100000. Estimating tho average
distance at 500 miles. this tonnage
should have been carried for 1l6c, 600.
600. Instead Of 1 mills, 8 mills per ton
per mile was charged, thus taking from
shippers &l53. GOO. 900 and putting that
amount into the pockets Of tho mo-
nopoliee. But the charges between
Chicago and the Atlantic are moderate
as compared TO those west Of Chicago.
The lakes aud the Erie canal, during
the season Of navigation, are powerful
and efficient anti.monopolista. At least
onc.fourth Of all these roads carried
between the Atlantic and Chicago were
gathered in ct Chicago, or distributed
from Chicago over the extensions Of
these trunk lines, northwest and south.
west, and it 10 over these extensions
where no waterways compete that the
Wholesale skinning u practiced.
The Committee on Commerce in their
report ON transportation to the seaboard
gives the following illustration Of these
extortions, viz: Vandalia 10 Chicago,
23O miles, charges 2.3 cents per ton per
mile; Sandoval to Chicago, $50 miles,
q cents per ton per mile. Centralia 10
Chicago. 353 miles, charges 2. l cents per
ton per mile, or nearly two and three-quar-
ter times M much per mile a ID charged
between Chicago and New York. And
these are through rates, for on all the
side and short roads or feeders 10 these
through lines the farmers have 10 pay an
average Of seven times a much per milo
- is paid between Chicago and the AT.
lantic. Estimating then the amount Of
tonnage between Chicago and north
western and southwestern terminal
points to be $4,000. 600 tons per year,
and the average charges per ton at 5
cents (which Is below the average), and
the average distance to he 200 miles,
gives total charge Of $3.50, 600, 900 per
year. Allow these gathering and dis
tributing roads twice the amount per
mile that would afford good profit and
q fifth more than il charged by tho
trunk linea, and tho farmers would nav
them but go, OOO, 600, making them an
annual saving Of Sl2S, 600, 600. Here 10

A Civil Service Cage in Court.

NEW YORK, May 15.-The case of General Newton Merlin Curtis, who has been rein dicted for having violated the United States law by collecting money from office holders to be used for political purposes he at the time of collecting such assessments being su- perintendent of the treasury, was up in the United States criminal court to day. Coun- sel for Curtis contended that there was no authority under which an indictment could be found, Congress being debarred by the constitution from legislatlng on the subject. The argument will be continued tomorrow.
