startled, and II is necessary TO devise
some scheme by the means Of which
he will not suffer any monetary
loss. Now, will tell You my
idea Of the manner In which this
clever inancier hopes to accomplish
that result, for II Is my belief that Jay
Gould finds the Western Union n hot
brick which he will be unable TO keep
hold of without burning himself. IL is
said that Gould has issued an order. the
operation Of which will curtail expenses
by $4,000 In each district. by this econ
omizing he will be enabled to declare an
extraordinary dividend, payable on the
Western Union stock, In order that the
uninitiated public may infer that despite
the opposition OF the Baltimore and Ohio
Telegraph company, Jay Gould's sys-
TEN OF wires are able, TO pay larger
dividend than 1t ever paid before. ms
flnesse will naturally create ae-
mand for the western Union
stock and you may rely that Jay Gould
will "unload." of course with the ma,
terially reduced salaries, only butchers"
will be obtained for operators, while the
baltimore and Ohio will secure all the
competent men. The district managers
of the Western Union Telegraph COM
many will demonstrate with jay Gould
about that and he will, after unloading,
suggest better scale OF remuneration
and the company will resume its normal
position. Then the real effect OF the
Baltimore and Ohio will be seen and the
Western Uulon will sink rapidly, while
the "milllonaire" will be laughing in his
sleeve at the gueliblllty Of the people
who have let him UNLOAD Mt such n
| handsome profit.

JAY GOULD'S LITTLE GAME.
A Light Reporter Talks to Wall
Street operator

What do you think the probable effect
of the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph
company on the Western Union, said
LIGHT reporter to New York gentle
man who is favorably known in Wall
street circles, but at present is recupera-
ting his health at the Maverick.
SWELL" the gentleman replied, II will
tell you my individual opinion about it,
II that be any use. When the scheme
was mooted some time ago, and the Bal
timore and Ohio Telegraph company
was formed, Jay Gould treated the sub
ject with contempt. He ISIS accustomed
to being monopolist, the idea OF COM
petition from any puny capitalists never
entered his head. Jay Gould, like the
true Castilian, sees no one above him. AZ
ter little time had elapsed, however, he
began to think that there actually we're
capitalists who were audacious enough
to compete with him, and the proposed
scheme was as gigantic in proportions
as any he could have devised.
The result of the Presidential election
affected him considerably, and soon
after the excitement had subsidized, he
decided to reduce the expenses OF the
Western Union, and made slight re-
ductlon In salaries paid to employees,
\ putting 4 veto on extra work and
other hitherto existing perquisites.
Once more he was aroused to action by
the rapidly growing opposition Of the
Baltimore and Ohio company, and very
recently ordered further reduction Of
10 per cent. In salaries. Finding, on ex-
animation, the extraordinary vitality Of
Me opposition company is due to the
road Racked by Maokay and Bennett,

The New York Times, speaks of the
land grabbing of the past and present,
as follows "The establishment OF
tue British landlord and tenant system
In the West would be n great evil, but
the acquisition of millions Of acres Of
land by fraud and theft, by Americans
as well as by Englishmen, is also great
evil. We believe that the building up
Of these great estates by Englishmen
should be prevented. We also believe
scoundrels, American or English, who
have robbed the honest settler Of his
heritage. In attempting to legislate
against the aliens Congress should not
forget that they have been enabled to
get vast tracts into their hands by the
rascality of government officers, and
that where an Engiishman has grabbed
one acre an American has grabbed fifty.
If the land laws had been honestly ad-
ministered, and if the government had
shown any desire TO punish land thieves,
there void now be no occasion for the
enactment Of such law as that which
the public land committee has reported.
Before the Englishmen made their in
vestments our own citizens had taken
great areas by fraud or by force. For
years they defied the government as
they defy it now, and the government
allowed them to work their will. The
Englishmen were attracted and even in
vited by these American spectators and

tration at Washington will strike the

fact of the interviews reported between

ing Democrats OF the country. Mr..
Cleveland seems TO possess unlimited
powers Of absorption, as he, no doubt,
has received barrels full Of advice about
what he ought to do and how he should

policy. This speaks well for him, and
by the 18th of March, II he is anyways In

the information he will need, and should
be prepared TO start In with policy
that not only will reflect honor upon
him, but credit TO the country and his
party.

arrest of Cunningham, the suspected

he lived In st. Louis couple OF years

the right person who caused the explo-

with his destroying agencies, and made
tolerable fair beginning in his desire
