SUGAR and naolaSses seem to ebsorb
a wonderful deal of time in Con-
grcss. In fact, there is n tremendous
effort being made by parties TO put
the sugar business in such a shape
that it can be controlled by an i'm
mense monopoly. The treaty with
Mexico, now being considered, has
the biggest kind of lump of sugar
in it; the tariff sees the lump; the
Hawaiian treaty hugs it afectiOnate-
ly; our own sugar producers are be-
ing crushed by its immense weight.
The time is likely to come when the
whole American people will be COM
PEELED to use foreign sugar that is
handled by two or three companies
and for which they win pay two or
three prices. There is point at
which the consolidation of capital
ceases to be a benefit to the people
and that point i just where the cap
italists begin to crowd the costs of
any article beyond their ordinary ra-
ito to the costs of other goods con
sumed.

The Hon S. F. Webb, member Of
the House from this county, has, as
our dispatches have informed US, in
troduced a bill into the Legislature
memorializing Congress concerning
the consolidation of the S. p R. r.
with other roads, for which purpose
there is now bill pending at Wash
ington. The introduction of the bill
in our Legislature is but a link in
the general fight being made "all
along the line" against the move
which the Southern Pacific is max
ing. The opposition 10 the move
seems to arise from two sources
First, it is thought that that the
nave is one which would give to the
S. P. R. R, the lands which have
been forfeited by the Texas Pacific
and Atlantic and Pacific railroad
companies by failures to fulfill the
provisions of their charters. Second,
it is Claimed that the act of consoli-
dation would make the S. p. r. r.
federal corporation, and thai as such
it would not be liable to taxation by
the States or Territories through
which it might pass. These are the
real points of the case, though the
discussion will Decessarily take a
wide range, even going back to the
old stamping ground of Democracy,
States Rights" in considering the
question as 10 whether a State would
not have the right to tax the corpo-
ration within its Jurisdiction, even
though it were a federal corporation.
| AS we have intiInated, the PROPOSE
| ton in Congress has awakened a
sharp opposition from California to
Texas, inclusive, though it may be
that when the matter is properly
ventilated it will be found that there
is nothing dangerous to the people
| or IN n State tbrouUh IUhich fhe roo n
might pass, though we imagine that
the question will be as difficult to
settle as States Rights itself, unless
the railroad company should be will
ing to accept such notifications of
the bill as to quiet all questions now
under consideration. 1t might be
proper to state in this connection,
however, that the matter docs no

THE contract for printing ant

Journal office, and The Territory il
supposed to have made money by

subscriptions and take their adver-
tisements out in eggs at half a dol
lar dozen, are they to receive no
consideration at the hands of the
Territory or its peoples Suppose a
company of ten persons on an island
engaged in developing a mine that
had a dollar amoug them, that they
wished for the general use an article
which one of them could furnish for
fifty cents, but instead they send off
forty cents to a distant place for The
article; do they really grow richer
by the operations Is there more
money in circulation among them
and therefore chance for members
of the company 10 accumulate more?
Are the members of the company
able to pay as much for goodsswith
their remaining sixty cents as they
would have been had the hundred
cents been left to circulate among
them? Can business go on as health
lily with the sixty cents as when
there were one hundred cents? We
do not think so. We cannot see that
the Territory has gained anything
by sending away its funds. Better
have paid more and kept The money
at home in circulation where it
would stimulate and build up the
vital elements of our Territorial or
ganiLation rather than sap the very
life that is in them. Strike every

THE question Us to whether the
office of Territorial superintendent
of Public Instruction is elective or
appointive has been raised. Cover
nor Tritle takes the ground that, un
der the U. :. Revised Statutes, Sec
lion 1857, the Office is to be filed by
the Governor appointing and the
Council confirming. Our Council
man, Hon. a. d. Lemou, made a
stroag argument in favor cf the law
as it has been, but the opinion seems
to prevail that the Governors view
of the matter - correct. and that it
is his duty -to appoint the Superin-
tendent. The section of the statutes
referred 10 reads as follows:
SEC. 1927. All Township, District,
ard County officers, except Jasti, es
of the Peace, and general Off GERS of
the militia, shall be appoint d or
elected IN such manner as may be
provided by be Governor and Leg
islctive Assembly of each T, rritory
and all other officers not herein pro
vided for, The Governor shall nomi-
nate and by aud with the advice and
consent Of The Legislative Council
of each Territory shall appoint; but

riiory is hereafter created by Con-
gress the Governor may appoint all

HER FIRST RAILWAY RIDE
THE EXPERIENCE OF AN INEXPERI.
ENCED YOUNG WOMAN IN IDAHO.

A young lady well known on
Wood river, who was born and
raised in Idaho and who had never
seen a steamboat or railway car,
recently left for trip south, and
much interest was expressed here
by her friends as to first impres.
sions of the outer world. She al.
ways evinced such an even demea.
nor that many friends believed she
would pass as an old traveller, but a
letter just received from her escort
proves that yonng lady, even one
of Idaho's fairest, and one that can
calmly regard the wild Indian on
the warpath, is unequal to the oc.
casion ofcalmly passing through the
surprises of modern progress.
She became skittish at the ap-
proach of the evening lightning ex-
press, with its great bulPs-eye head
light, and actually pranced when
the train neared the depot and blew
a long, shrill whistle. Her friends
could not quiet her or coax her, and
finally, rather than be left, they
blindfolded the young lady and by
main force landed her safely on the
train. The letter remarks it was
fortunate the windows were so small,
as she frequently attempted to get
out, and could not be convinced
that the telegraph poles, the hills
and houses were not all whirling
past her as she sat in the car, and
every time they crossed a bridge she
shut her eyes, believing the cars
were flying in the air across the
rivers.
