down in a heap. When time was
called for the l2sh round, Mooney
pushed the broken-spirited Loo toward
the center of the room. He had enough
of it, however, and sank on the hoor,
saying: "Me catchee plenty" The
men fought about halt an hour.
New YORK, Feb. ia Times edi-
torial says: One OF the pernicious
and dishonest measures now pending
in Congress and sought to be forced
through in the last days Of the session
is proposition to consolidate the Texas
Pacific and Southern Pacific Railroad
Companies. The first named concern
was granted large tract Of land in
Texas, and received further concessions
of lands from the United States in Terri.
tories, westward of the Texas boundary,
aud iu California. The Southern Pa
cifc was built by the profits Of the
Central Pacific, and had no land grant.
The Southern Pacific builders out
stripped those of the Texas Pacific in
the race across til. continent and juno
ton aud treaty between the two conf
panies was effected and agreed upon.
The proposed consolidation, in brief, is
to permit the combiu-d companies TO
secure the grants Of $25, 600, 900 worth
of lands which the T,xss Pacific did
not earn and to which, ri,e y ii he,n Pa
tic was never entitled i'y any law or
Ac: OF Congress. l. is grab, pure and
simple, denlsued to til sne pockets of
grasping railroad magnates. This is
job which sho1id be defeated.
CHICAGO, Feb. I9-Eufus Hatch
cables the Tribune from London as fol-
lows Press dispatches received here
from the United States though meagre,
show that the foods in the ONO valley
are appalling, but tIivial when compared |
with the universal inundation aud con.
tinent foods in Austria. which carry
havoc, destruction and ruin. But the |
present distress in its general tenor and |
nature is unprecedented. |
News from Germany, particularly, is of
the most pitiable nature. Thousands
of people, who few mouths ago were
well-to-do and comparatively independ-
emit, have been depending upon their
neighbors AMI the public for subsistence
for two or three months past. Not over
go per cent. of the seed that should
have been planted throughout Europe
in December has yet been put in the
ground. I get this information from
bankers and Greek merchants who have
extensive correspondence throughout
Great Britain and the continent. They
estimate that the acreage has decreased
SO per cent. The complete dependence
lpon America is to greater extent
than at any time within the last five
years. The American grain and pro.
vision crop of 1882, and what she can
'aise in 1888. can be marketed on this
side of the Atlantic with the greatest
Ease at full prices. The universal agr.
cultural distress, united with the pow
.rty of soil and political troubles past
md to come, will tend to increase i'm.
migration to America.
