New Pac,fic Railroad Bill

/ AS reported by telegraph the Senate
Judiciary Committees Pacific Railroad
| bill is merely a bill to extend the loan
forty-six yeaes longer and reduce the
| interest which the roads have to pay
from 6 to 8 per cent. It provides that
the roads shall meet this readjustment
of the debt with. a deposit of redemption
bonds, one of which natures every six
months and from which shall be de-
Quoted at maturity all moneys due to
the railroads for Government transpor-
tation over any lines owned, leased or
operated by them. Then, if the rail-
road fails for six months to pay the
balance due the Government on said
matured bond, all of its redemption
bonds are to become due and payable.
Then the Government will be just
where it is now, or worse of, as this
bill does not provide any better securi-
ty for the ultimate payment of the debt
than the old second mortgage lien. 1t
does extend that lien over all roads
owned or operated, or hereafter to be
acquired, by the companies. but this
added security is necessarily subject to
the prior liens under which the COM
panies acquire such property, and this
provision is in effect merely legaliza-
ton of the liabilities incurred by the
companies contrary to obligations pre-
viously imposed on them by the Gov
ernment. To layman it looks as #
this provision is inserted on purpose to
give to all the liabilities which the COM
panies have incurred or may hereafter
incur in buying or building railroads,
the same prior lien on all the property
that has hitherto been accorded to GER
tain specified mortgage bonds only. On
the other hand the bill, while waiving
and condoning or legalizing all breaches
of charter obligation by the companies,
imposes no new obligation on them,
unless the requirement that in accept
ing the provisions of this bill they shall
accept the provisions of the Thurman
act also. can be considered new obli-
CATION. In short, it seems to be bill
drawn up to give the companies all
they have the cheek to ask, without
securing anything for the Government
or the people.-Post-D Dispatch.

Comment ON the Appointment.

The last qualification for Office is q

| brother.' -
The appointment of Brother T>arw;n
as Warden of the Penitentiary should
silence the complaints of those renre-
sentatives of the laboring classes who
have been protesting against the ap-
pointment as Labor Commissioner of a
foreign nobleman named Won Scotch
wisky. The labor reformers should be
thankful that the Governor did not set
one of his brothers over them
Globe Democrat.
Governor Marmaduke is not as much
of scriptural scholar as we could wish
but we are glad to see that the eighth
verse Of the fifth chapter of st. Paul's
made q deep impression upon him:
But ifany provide not for his own,
and especially for those of his own
house. he hath denied the faith, and is
worse than an infidel." nappointing
his brother, Mr.. Darwin Marmaduke,
to be Warden of the Penitentiary, the
Governor gives evidence that he ac-
cepts, in letter and in spirit, this small
subsection of the Pauline doctrine.
Republican.
The only objection that can possibly
be raised against the appointment of
Mr.. Darwin w. Marmaduke for War
den Of the State Penitentiary is that
he is brother of the Governor. The
appointee is well known throughout
the State as a gentleman of thorough
and correct business principles and
habits, and his recommendations are
from among the most influential people
i'll Missouri. The pressure for change
in the affairs of the prison was great,
and with the responsibilities resting
upon the Executive it was quite nat
ural that in the position named he
should desire the services of one in
whom he could place the greatest con-
fidence. Mr.. Darwin Marmaduke's
is warmly approved by
the Board of Inspectors of the Penlten-
tiary, as well as by the heads Of its diff
ferent departments.

Mostly Lies.

Said Jones: 81 hardly ever ride,
For crowded cars / can't abide,
And carriages do despise-
l am so fond of exercise
81 bring my luneh," said Smith elate,
"For noisy restaurants hate;
Besides, I'd spoil my appetite
For dinner when Pm home at night"
Said Brown: "I'm tough; never wear
An overcoat. / do declare
/ do not feel the cold like those
Half-frozen chaps weighed down will
Clothes"
II never touch CIGARS" Green spoke.
They're made of stuff unfit to smoke:
For healthfulness or comfort ripe
Give me my fragrant brier pipe"
And so we all apologize
And make eXcuses-mestly lies,
Because we dare not say with sense
We go without to save expense.

Some astute individual has introduce
ed bill in the Missouri Legislature.
the object of which is to close up all
the mutual benefit associations i'm this
State. All such orders or organiZa-
tions, whose main object is to provide
a fund for the families of deceased
members, are classed as wildcat insur-
ance companies, and the aforesaid in
dividual wants them prohibited from
doing business. He is either in the
employ of some old-line insurance COM
pany, or else is prompted by zeal not
tempered with knowledge. The same
ture Of 1883, and we hope this attempt
will fail as that one did. Orders or
ganized and conducted as are the A.
o. Il. W., X. of H., aud others we
could name, furnish a cheaper life in
surance than the regular insurance
companies can, and consequently are
getting the bulk of the business, and
hence the regulars would like to see
them all suppressed. The main argu-
ment advanced against such orders is
that they have not sufficient stability
and are liable to fail, and cheat thus
their members out of the benefits they
have paid for. This is very poor ar
gument. Suppose they are liable to
fail, as all human institutions are, are
not regular insurance companies sub
ject to the same objection? We have
had some experience with both. We
were insured once in what was sup
posed t., be one of the best companies
in the State. After a season OF mis-
management the company was about
to fail, and was merged into or consoli-
dated with another. Still. having
some faith left, we stood another ex-
animation and secured policy in the
new arrangement. After time It
went as the first had gone, and we
dropped out. 1t had cost us pretty
good sum of money, and we knew
where it went. What had not been
eaten up in big salaries and expensive
offices, had been appropriated to the
building of paiatial residence for the
president. We now have policies in
the Masonic Mutual Benefit Associa-
ton and in the Ancient Order United
Workmen. If we are fortunate enough
to live to see both of them die, If they
are permitted to die natural death,
and are not smothered as is sought to
be done by the individual above refer
red to, we will not regret the loss of cur
money like we did that stolen by the
old st. Louis Life; for every time we
pay an assessment we have the salts
faction of Knowing, that the money
goes to the relief of widow or orphans,
for whom we have fraternal feeling
and to whose assistance we feel it q
pleasure, as well as duty, to contri-
butte. This feeling is shared by all the
members of these orders, and hence
they are in no danger of failing.-yJ-
ferson Democrat.

Mark Twain is an ninveterate smoker.
He smokes constantly at his work, and
indeed, all the the time, from half past
s in the morning to half past 10 at
night, stopping only when at his meals.
A cigar lasts him about forty minutes,
now that he has reduced to an exact
science the art of reducing the weed to
ashes. So he smokes from fifteen to
twenty cigars every day. Some time
ago he was persuaded to stop the prac-
rice, and went year and more without
tobacco; but he found himself unable
to carry along important work which
he undertook, and it was not until he
resumed smoking that he could do It.
Since then his faith in his cigar has
not wavered.

The Proposed License Code.

The license bill introduced last week
in the senate by Mr.. Young and in the
house by Mr. Shields is not merely a
proposition to amend the Downing law
it proposes new license code 1t
provides for one license for all saloons,
the fee to be not less than $400 nor mere
than 81 900 year; it apportions the Ii
cense fees in all cases between the state,
the county and the town or city, the
sta te receiving the smallest proportion
and the county and city the largest. In
st. Louis it gives the city nine-tenths
aud the state one-tenth, and in other
cities it gives the state one-tenth and
divides the other nine-tenths between
the city and the county, the larger part
to the city. In towns and cities of un-
der $500 Inhabitants no license shall be
issued except on petition of a majority
of the qualified voters. 1t provides for
inquisitorial visits of saloon premises
by sheriffs, chic of police and town
marshals. Licensees are to give bond
with good security for the faithful OBJ
servance of the law. The penalty for
selling liquor without license is $500;
and in addition to this every place
where liquor is unlawfully sold may be
adiudged public nuisance and abated.
1t will be seen that the proposed code
is rigorous in the extreme, but its rigors
are directed exclusively against the il
legal traffic, and it is argued that it is
useless to talk about any license system,
high or low, which does not provide for
the suppression of unlawful dealers. If
the state eXacts of an honest saloon
keeper high price-$4O0 to 81, 900 a
year-for his license, it is in duty bound
to protect him against the competition
of law-breaker who sells without liz
cense, The heavy bond and the in
to honest licensees, since they are meas
ures Cor their protection. The issue of
one license, state. county and city. for
saloons i'm cities and towns, is a good
feature. At present saloon in city
or town must have two licenses, one
from the county court, and one from
the city council, and it must pay diff
ferent fee for each. The proposed code
provides for single license and SIN
gle fee, t. cover all cases. The appor-
tionment OF the fees is equitable and
reasonable, the city or town. receiving
the greatest part, the county next and
the state the smallest.
One good effect of it would be to abol-
ish nine-tenths of the CROSSROADS bar
rooms in the state-places which are
responsible for three-fOurths the pistol
fights which now occur. The only
change it would make in st. Louis
would be to wipe out wine and beer Ii
censes, and place all saloons On the
same footing, with a uniform license.
In souie respects this would be hard
ship i'm those quarters of the city where
the residents drink beer and wine al
most exclusively-a habit which the
laws may wisely encourage. The reas-
on for abolishing wine and beer licenses
is that they are made to cover illegal
sale of strong drinks, but in st. Louis.
at least, the provision for inquisitorial
visits by the police might be relied on
to prevent these violations. and limit
the wine and beer saloons to their le-
gitimate business.-Republic1n.

Aba Ruzzard SurrenGers.

Abe Buzzard, the noted outlaw, walked into
the Lancaster County pa prison about mid
night on the 4Gi inst. and surrender himself to
the authorities. He was accompanied 10y his
brothers Mart and John. Before giving him.
self up he exacted promise from his brothers
and Prison Keeper Burkhoder that they would
not claim the reward of $1,000 offered for his
capture Blizzard surrendered at the instiga-
tion Of prominent citizens OF the eastern END
of the County. who VIII use their efforts to
secure a communication of nine years of his SEN
tence, which it is generally agreed he unjustiy
received 1t is also said that the entreaties OF
his wife had great deal to do with his deter
mination to give himself up. She was in fear
that he would kill some Of the officers who
were on the lookout for him and then get HIM
self into further trouble. Buzzard said that as
long as no reward was offered for his apprehen-
sion he was SAFE but as soon as the authorities
put $1,000 on his head nearly all his friends
turned traitors, and he was even afraid of his
own brothers.

Gen. Grants Condition.

The condition of Gen. Grant during the past
week has not been as favorable as it was during
the preceding one, his general condition being
weaker and his spirits somewhat depressed. On
Saturday last the pus, which flowed from the
diseased throat of the patient, caused him a
great deal of uneasiness, and kept him awake a
great part of the night. On Sunday afternoon
the Generals throat was so sensitive and swol-
len that it would not permit of thorough ex-
animation, but as far as Drs. Shrady and Doug
las were able TO see there was not much change
in the appearance of the cancer. The chief
efforts of the physicians will now be directed
towards building up the Generals system, so
that he may start for Mt. McGreggor at the ap-
pointed time-June %. President Rutter, of
the New York Central & Hudson River Rail-
road, has placed his speci al car at Gen. Grants
disposal for the use of the General and his
family on the trip

THE WEEKS D0INGS.

Their said that the money belonging to his
White Lake depositors would not and should

take possession, and was informed that he could
not enter the bank. He posted a notice that
the bank was closed, but Cashier Huysson and
Assistant Cashier Ryan were present with their
depositors and tore of the notice and proceed
ed to open the bank. They posted guards at
the entrances and began paying of their de-
positors. whereupon Judge Wulfing leaped over
the counter and ordered halt. Ryan then
informed the crowd that a trespasser was inside
the gate. No sooner were the words uttered
than the attorney was pitched over the counter
and cut into the street. Mr.. Huysson continued
to settle with the depJstOrs until the last one

Dynamite Outrage In Denver.

Since then numerous threats have been made
beth against the men who occupy the positions
