A New Lease tor the Banks.

The House of Representatives has
passed the bill to extend the charters
of the National Banks. This will give
the banks another lease of power as
ipoIi icai factors In several States
they control elections by the liberal
expenditure of money. This they can
we'll afford to do, as the Government
generously pays them interest on the
securities which it holds for tue re-
demption of the notes, which they put
in circulation, and for the use Of which
they charge as much interest as Dor
rowers with good security will pay
Their own securities, though drawing
inte, est from the Government, are not
subject to National, State or municipal
taxation. and the millionaire banker Is
not obliged to pay one cent IN taxes
on the bonds, while his more enter
prising but less fortunate neighbor
who invests in real or personal prop
erty, must pay a high rate of lnteres
on the money he borrows OF the bank
er, and must pay taxes to support the
Government which affords protection
to the person and property of thu
banker. 1t is not surprising, unde
such circumstances, that the Nationa
banks contribute literally to the cam
paign funds of the party which grant
them such royal favors.

THE OREGON SHORT LINE.
Salt Lake Tribune.

If we may judge OF what is to be
from the active work now being done
on the Oregon Short Line railway, it
is safe to predict the completion of the
road through to Baker City. Oregon,
at very early date. Starting at
Granger, the track is already laid
westward a distance of eighty-two
miles. Track laying has commenced
in earnest from. that point, and is go
ing down at the rate of about one
mile per day. In track-laying they
use Moore's improved paent track
laying apparatus, which consists sim
ply of a trough or sided track in which
are many rollers, over which ties and
rails are sent to the front. This is al
tached to one side of the fat-cars, SO
that ties and rails can Le placed Oh the
rollers, and then showed along rapidly
by men either on the fats or walking
BY the side on the ground At the
front end of the train, this track or
chute extends forward quite dis
tance, being supported by crane. AS
fast as the ties are sent to the front
they are taken by men aud put In
place; then the rails are dropped and
spiked, and the train pushed over the
rails just laid, so as to be ready fol
the next length. The engine is at the
opposite end of the train, and pushes
the car back as fast as the rails art
lald, until the twenty or thirty cars
are unloaded. This machinery saves
hauling the ties ahead by teams, an(
Is economical in work, especially al
there are many places along the roaC
where teams could not reach the lin
of grade.
From Granger it is l49 miles to Sc
da Spring, upon which the grade ha
oeen completed, eighty-two miles I q
track laid and many of the bridge
put In place. From Soda Springs t
fortneuf, where the line crosses tn
olah d Northern, it is thirty-six miles
making a total of 2l5 miles from Graz
ger. On this gap between Sod
springs and Pocatello graders ar
now at work and already a portion
completed. West of the Utah ,
Northern the track is laid sixtee
miles, and in about three weeks wi
oe completed to American Falls, 81
miles further. The track west of th

MANY articles in which several eoun-

example is to be found in the superb

for their quality and finish, are much
less costly than those of English pro-

The following is recent notice of his
reading in BOSTON from the Boston
Journal. He reads every winter in the
Boston Courses of Lectures.
READINGS BY PROF. CHURCHILL
There was a large attendance at the
regular weekly entertainment of the
Roberts Lyceum course at Music Hall
last evening, the special attraction be-
ing reading by Prof. J. w. Churchill.
Prot. Churchill possesses the merit of
being something more than mere
reader. His interpretations are schol-
arly, and may be listened to with the
same degree of pleasure that is brought
by the acting of Booth or jefferson.
They are wholly devoid of the cheap
effects sought for by some readers, and
display genuine power in conception as
we'll as faultless elocution. His selec-
tions last night took wide range, and
both the pathetic and humorous pieces
admirably read. The list included
"Nicholas Nickleby at Dotheboys
Hail." from Dickens, "The Parsons
Horse Race" by Mrs. Stowe, 1.-THE
Slaves Way to Freedom" by Howells,
ga Bewitching Cure for Rheumatism
by Burdett, "Dick Bullen's Christmas
Gift )" by Bret Harte, aud "The Chart
ty Dinner" by Moseley.

Cannls In War.

A very curious report on camels in
war has been published by the Russian
government. The reasons why camels,
which arc so useful to commercial cara
vans in steppes, are so useless in war,
is because the hours Of rest and meals
for men and camels are different. Sol
diers rise early and march at once.
Camels cannot move until they have
been fed, go the camel.drivers are
obliged to 10 up before all the rest OF the
camp, and when the army halts camel.
drivers must go with the beasts to
water and must supply them with
many buckets of water. Again, the
camel in war is overloaded and irregu
larly loaded, and the burden irregularly
packed in war, ell of which embarrasset
the camel, while in trade caravans the
load is always the same, and is always
packed in uniform manner. More
over, soldiers soon hate camels because
of their disgusting habit of splitting
on people when they are angry. s.
there is bred constant war between
man and beast, and naturally the beas
succumbs. The English in the Afghan
istan campaign lost 10000 camels, tn,
Russians lost $1,000 in the war of 1870
and in. the war of 1880, &espit'
every reform in the organization o
camels, despite care taken to engag,
good 'camel-drivers and to pay then
we'll, camels collected in large number
could not bear the fatigues OF cam
paign, and persisted with "frightfu
rapidity."
