Triumph or Monopoly.
Ngw YORK, May II. - The Times,
under the head, The Triumph OF Mon
opoly." reviews editorially the history
u the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad. 1t
says the great railroad monopoly Of
California il very naturally unwilling To
allow any rival road to reach the Pacific
Coast from the East, and has thus far
been successful in opposing she progress
Of the only road which threatened to
become troublesome. Il is reported the
victory of the monopolists has been
to an agreement under which
the Atlantic and Pacific is not to be
permitted to extend its lines to the Pa
cific Coass or to San Francisco until 70
years hence. The agreement preserves
The Pacific slope intact. The little
group Of men Who own all the railroads
By which California 10 connected with
the East cannot maintain their m0n-
opoly forever. The rapid developments
Of the Far West will bring them into
conflict with stronger forces than the
and Pacific Company, bat
many years must pass before the people
Of the Pacific slope can get relief.

men, but by Cinnamon. One case. in
