1T is very popular opinion that
railroads ars not only owned by
soulless corporations but that they
are the greatest money-making en-
tsrprises of the age. Ia contradic-
tion of this it is worthy of note
that from January to March 81,
1885, twenty railroads in the United
States have hssa placed in the
hands OF receivers. Now whatever
this may mean to the receivers and
their attorneys 1T certainly does not
mean untold wealth to the stock.
holders. Then agaia almost every
railroad Company in the country
is enforcing the most rigid econ
omy. With the legislative regula
tion of fr.ights and fares and hare
times and perhaps some real compe
tition this does not seem to be I
good year for railroads SO far.

ACity MOVING.

From recent surveys it has been
ascertained that the entire city Of
Virginia, Nevada, has moved over
thirty inches to the east since the
big fire of 1875. The Maynard
black. in Gold Hill, is known to be
gradually sliding down in the direc-
ton Of Gold Canyon, and has
moved nearly two fee; since its erec-
ion. The movement is go gradual
that it does not affect in any man
ner the safety Of the building, as
the ground to depth Of nearly
one hundred feet to the bedrock is
known to be continually sliding. It
is well known fact among practi-
cal miHsra that the ground on which
Virginia City is built is what is
termed a slide, and that it is neces-
sary to sink rearly one hundred
feet before finding the natural bed
rock. These slides are caused by
the constant crumbline of the rocks
on the mountain sides. The debris
thus accumulated through incalcu
liable ages is constantly grayltatin:
downward, and in a few hundred
thousands of years what is know
as the site of Virginia City will b.
nothing but barren bed rock, worl
as smooth by the action Of the ele
ments as the southern slope of Su
gar-loaf Mountain; and were it Pc.

AN exchange says that the peo-

Notwithstanding the fact that
leading lawyers of the state have
expressed it as their opinion that
the bill which provides county H.
quor licenses shall be $500 per an
mum will be imperative, because
it has no penalty for violation
thereof, nons Of the liquor sellers
have exhibited any tendency or de-
sire toward testing whether this
feature of the law is really lacking.
There seems to be q kind of dis
trust existing that the lawyers are
not wholly disinterested in wishing
to have this question contested in
the courts, as they have everything
to gain aad nothing to lose thereby.
At all events, although the bill has
been in operation some time, no
contest has yet been raised. Coun-
ty dramshops have either closed
their doors or paid the required Ii
cense. In Multnomah county near
ly every dealer outside of the city
managed to defeat the intent of the
law for the present year by surren-
dering their old licenses which had

THERE is SO much partisan bias

it is sometimes difficult to arrive at
n correct conclusion regarding the

President Cleveland is receiving
soms severe criticism from the old
Bourbon element of his own party
and also from the machine fsction Of

no higher tribute to the honesty

THE NAVAL OFFICERS, FEUD.
The War Between the Line and Staff &c
be Waged with Bitterness This Win
ter.

The war of long standing between the line
and staff OF the navy will, 1t is said, be waged
with unusual bitterness this winter, and the
halls of Congress will be the battle ground
Line officers regard the recent article in a SER
vice magazine which severely criticised the
bureau of navigation and the naval officer at its
head as the war cry Of the staff, and claim that
its author, who is said to be ex-Secretary Chan
ler is to marshal the staff forces and will direct
the campaign. The next issue of the magazine
will, it is said. contain an article by the same
author levelled at the proposed reorganization
of the navy, which is supposed to have been
recommended by the McCalla board.
There are not a few members of Congress who
think that this well known cat and dog condi-
ton of affairs in the service has had more effect
than anything else In preventing an improve
ment OF the navy. Any move made for the
good of the service is, 1t is said, opposed by one
side or the other, on the ground that il will
benefit the other side. The result is that moth.
ing is done. One Congressman who served a
term on the House naval committee is known
to be SO opposed to serving again on account Of
the internal strife in the service that he has
threatened to resign his seat in the House
rather than be q member of the committee
again. He is said to have sent word to Mr.
Carlisle asking to be left off of the naval COM
mittee. Such a request was received with sur
prise, as there Were already seventy-1ve appli-
cations for that committee. When informed of
the state of affairs he replied that the appli-
cants didn't know what they were doing, he
did.

several weeks. A three hours fight ensued.
resulting in the British troops capturing

money. Let England attack the enemy In
force, and after the latters defeat open negotia-
tions. With native emissaries and money
England could detach the soldiers who are now
