HUNTINGTON LAID OFT.

The bill declaring the Texas Pa
cific Land grants forfeited to the
government passed the House with
but one dissenting vote. The Cotton
letters did it. The Chronicle with
one stroke has knocked the monoP-
olists out of $4,000 900, yet the
monopolists claim that the press
does not influence public opinion.
When this bill comes mp in the Sen
ate no man who values his political
future will dare to raise voice
against it. We want jones, Fair
and Cassidy to be at their
posts and record their votes
for the bill. It is splendid VIC
tory Of the people over grasping
corporations and will be followed
up by some more equally decisive.
1t will show the country that
money bags are not invincible and
that once in a while the public dog
gets on top.
