WEALTH OF RAILROAD Off
GALS.

Hon. Daniel Agnew, exjudge Of the
supreme court of Pennsylvania, said in
a late address: "a remarkable fact at
tending all the great railroads of the
United States is the immense wealth of
their leading officials. II is confined to
no state, and is exceptional TO all other
employments. The grandest talent and
greatest learning, in law, physics and
other learned avocations, accumulate q
few thousands in life time; but rail-
road officials, often rising from mere
clerkships, rOundsmen, ticket and other
agents, with salaries running from hun
dreds to a few thousands, eventuate as
possessors of many millions. It is no
uncommon thing to see q railroad presi-
dent, rising from the bumblest station.
in the course of fifteen or twenty years,
become the owner of five, ten, or even
twenty millions, at salary which would
not average, for the whole time, over ten
or twenty thousand dollars. These are
not understand"
And the judge might have added that
1t is a remarkable fact that as soon as
these railroad officials obtain wealth
and position, which is toOoflen through
q system Of gigantic stealing unknown
in any other branch of business, they be-
gin to want to run the politics of the
country. They naturally drift into the
"boss" business, and are the most cor
rupt and INSCRIPTIONS set of political
manipulaiors. If we are not much
mistaken Kansas will see the day when
her people will have 10 rise in their
might and free themselves from the
grasp of the railroad "bosses" will have
upon them. 1t will be a wise thing for
the railroads to prevent any such
struggle, but the greed of their mana
gers in general Is 4 stronger passion
than their Judgment, and the peo-
pie will no doubt have to finally
put an end TO their encrOachments.
The people are the friends of the
railroads. so long as they keep within
their own legitimate scope OF business,
but every railroad has an army Of bum
mers at work trying TO control the poll
tics of the state, and that is q thing the
people will not long submit to.

The death of DR.. John Franklin Gray
at the Fifth avenue hotel. New York
last week, was notable from the fact that
the deceased was the first physician IN
America to adopt the practice of home
opathy. He died at the age of 7S. He
enjoyed lucrative practice as an allO.
path, which he lost entirely upon EN-
bracing homeopathy. But he was sin.
cere in his conversion, and studied
German in order to study Hahncmann's
works and opened correspondence with
that physician, which continued until
HahnemAnn's death. DIR. Gray was the
founder, in 1874, of the American lnsti-
tute of homeopathy, and he and his
brother in-law. DIR. Hull. published the
first homeopathic journal.
