The railroad companies have been pur-
suing their usual policy in Colorado of
crushing out those who dare to offer
them opposition. Senator Hill of that
State was foolish enough TO espouse the
cause of the people in opposition to the
railroad corporations and he is rewarded
IN the usual way,-tnvited TO remain at
home and surrender his position to a per-
son who went on his knees to the ruling
powers. He says: Il have come to the
conclusion that 10 man can be elected
United States senator in the state of Col
orado, and in fact in few of the other
states, who ia not known to be friendly
to the great monopolies Of the country,
And SO the work goes on. Every year
the power OF corporations in legislative
matters keeps increasing. Every year
their grasp on the Threats of the people
becomes firmer aud there is no attempt
at resistance. 1t is easy 70 foresee where
this will end. The people will continue
to slaughter their friends at the bidding
of corporations. Parties will become
tools of the monopolists and the people
viii see their danger when they have
no legal means of redress They are al.
lowing their hands to be bound and sur
rendering every branch of the go,era-
ment to the keeping Of their enemies.

How Enthusiasm Dies is the subject
If an article in late educational journal.
That it does die out in the educational
field the experience of every one who
has done work in the field will bear am
pie testimony. There are many causes
not the least of which is human nature.
Enthusiasm is fire which feeds on vital
ity and cannot be sustained, and then it
leads to new things, discoveries which
require constant battle for their recep-
ton. Parents want their children to
make Improvements that are visible and
the best teachers will not do this. Every
thing which takes deep root is slow of
growth, but when the time for bearing
fruit comes the yield compensates for
the delay. America is country given to
rush. To climb to the top is the ambi-
ton Of every one and not to make pre-
paration So that reaching the top is a
certainty. Teaching must conform to
this demand and hence there must be
false teaching. There can be no enthus-
iasm in lie and many teachers who
know better, teach so as to please the peo-
pie rather than satisfy their own con-
science.

The holders of bonds issued by the
city of Watertown to aid in the construc-
ton Of railroads have been worsted by
the indomitable pluck of the peo-
pie of that city. The wrong sought to
be inflicted upon Watertown by the rail-
road companies was no more grievous
than has been practieed upon every nun
icipality which voted aid to roads. The
courts granted judgments and manda
muses. but the people ingeniously man
aged to make them dead letters. Now a
last appeal is taken to the Supreme
Court of the U. s. This will likely he
favorable to the bondholdefs, but the
people of Watertown may be relied upon
to meet it in the proper way.

STILL the attempt to smirch st. John 8
reputation is persisted in by many of the
organs. The Inter Ocean an intensely 10y
nj sheet to the republican party, is in
clined to treat this petty persecution as
there is no warrant for the charges It
is evident to any unprecedented mind that
the warfare made upon st. John is
wholly resentment because his candidacy
proved fatal to Blaine's success. Never
before was an attempt made to blast
mans chara cter on such fimsy testimony.
It has already begun to react on its or
iginstros aud Oiarkson is generally voted
liar and scoundrel.

MADISON, Feb. "a petition filed by
Mr.. Villas in the assembly, this morning,
contains information as to the growth and
value of the collections of the State
Historical society. The library has be
come one of the largest, most interesting
and valuable of its character i'll the Unit
ed States. The number of books and
pamphlets it contains now reaches about
10000. Many are exceedingly rare and
of large value. Its accumulations of
newspaper volumes is, next to that in the
Congressional library, at Washington,
the largest in the country, covering near
ly three centuries and embracing about
5000 volumes. Its art gallery has in it
a large and growing collection of por-
traits of pioneers and distinguished
men. Its cabinets of curiosities are
full OF articles possessing immense
interest and value. It's collections
have mostly been brought together dur
ing the last thirty one years. During
that entire time its affairs have been
under the special charge of DIR. L. G.
Draper, and to his labors the state is
principally indebted for historical IL
brary with few, if any, superiors in the
country. DR.. Draper is becoming old.
He has family to support, and large
number of the most prominent men in
the state have united in petition to the
legislature to increase his salary from
81, 200 to $4,000.

PEOPLE promptly denounce congress
because sufficient haste is not made in
placing Gen. Grant Oh the retired list OF
the army with good salary. Can they
find no time to denounce congress for its
failure to check the dangerous growth in
power of corporationsl A danger greater
than secession now threatens the country
becaure the movement is insidious and
not sectional. Everywhere railroads are
getting their tools into public positions
and with view of making this railroad
goernment. Is it not time that the PEG
pie should realize the danger that threat
ems them?

HOW TO GET IN.
AND HOW TO GET oUT-MATTERs WHICH
WILL REPAY CONSIDERATION.

There is going to be an enormous
gathering of people at Washington next
month, and while every provision is be-
ing made in advance to avoid confusion
and insure the comfort of all, still ''the
gods help those who help themselves"
To look out for number one is but the
natural course a sensible man would fol-
low. The railroad situation in Wash
ington is easily to be understood. There
are but two depots in the city. Into one
will come en- aggregation Of travel from
the South, the North, East and the
West-train after train, thousands upon
thousands of people. until "packed like
sardines N box" would be but a feeble
way to put it. In the other depot will
only come the trains of the Baltimore
and Ohio, that Company owning and us-
ing it exclusively for It's own business
everything in the hands of its OVID Of
ficials, and details so arranged that there
can be no mixing up nor getting ON or
off trains at wrong times and wrong pla-
ces. Indeed, it would not take much
thought on the part of those who have
had any experience whatever as to crowds
to appreciate the advantage the B. & o.
possesses in Washington. Then, too,
there are the facilities the lines have in
regard to track room and unrestricted
10 cans of getting trains directly into de-
pots. For instance, the B. & O. is the
only road into Washington which can
and does separate its passenger business
80 that trains from the West come into
Washington on the tracks of one division
and the trains from the East and North
upon the tracks of another division.
The great importance of these facili-
tiles may be appreciated from tho fact
that all the trains that enter the Nation
al Capital, upon lines other than the B. &
O.. came together in single depot, and the
packing and jamming will be something
terrific to behold, let alone getting in and
about them. The great number of trains
from the Southern lines alone would
completely fill a depot double the capa-
city of the one in question, and when to
them are added those from other sec
tons, the chances are that good many
passengers will have to walk into town
or spend the day or night aboard in vain
regrets that tickets were not bought by
the B. & 0.
Another item of no ordinary interest
to Western people is that by any other
line to Washington than the Baltimore
and Ohio all trains from the West have
to come together with trains from the
East and North, and all use one South
bound track for forty odd miles. That
IS to say, that no other line but the B.
& 0. has two different divisions into
Washington, one for its trains from the
West and the other for its trains from
the North and East. All this may prove
more or less confusing or perplexing to
to those who contemplate attending the
Inauguration, and the best way to settle
all doubt is to decide to go by the B. &
o. and thus avoid all danger of going
wrong.

MADISON despatch to Chicago Evening
Journal. 'The surface indications here
point pretty conclusively to the fact that
Col. ". T. Villas, of this city, will enter
the cabinet of President Cleveland. 1t
is known that he is already clos
ing up and transferring to other law
firms here the entire volume of his law
business, which is very extensive and lu-
crative, and it has transpired that about
the Goth of February he will resign his
seat in the legislature, to which lie was
elected last fall, and which is now in ses-
sion. Col Villas is reticent upon the sub
ject himself, absolutely refusing to an
swer all inquiries, even from intimate
friends, but these facts in regard to his
plans for the immediate future speak
more loudly than any verbal information
that be could give on the subject. Col
Villas is the retained attorney of the Chi
cago & Northwestern Railway company,
at salary about the same as he would
receive for cabinet office, and he will
necessarily surrender this position in ac-
cepting place among President Cleye-
lands advisers"

Bill Price has been injecting little
partisanship into the discussions on the
River and Harbor bill. He thinks the
south is getting too much. For years the
south asked for no appropriation and re-
ceived none. The need of internal i'm
provment in that section is known to
every one. Price wants to make little
notoriety for himself and that can be best
secured on the sectional issue.
