The EAGLE said Yesterday that the

very full of promise for honesty. By the
Cincinnati Enquirer We see that Speaker
Carlisle has just delivered speech upon
that subject in his own district. He han
dies the question from q constitutional
san apoint and we think his reasoning and
conclusions about As sound as his direct
quotations from the constitution. We do
not believe that there is any authority to

THE ATCHIsON's MOVEMENT.

A Boston dispatch to the st. Louis Globe
Democrat repor high official OF the
Santa Fc system with saying that the late
blanket charter filed at Topeka, and cover
ing fifty y-one lines of road or about every
scheme which has been chartered by other
parties for the past six months, Is simply
duplicate of one flied last January. but
amended 50 rs to admit a small section OF
the Kansas & Western system. 1t has no
connection with the proposed Kansas City
s. Chicago line. for the simple reason that
the Atchison can not build outsi e the
state under the Kansas & Western charter
any more than under its own, as both are
issued under the laws OF Kansas. The
capital named in the stock, s154 ,O00, 900. is
to be Chicago, Kansas and Western stock.
and the amount has been made this large
in order to cover all possible contingencies
in the way of construction aud cquipping
new lines within the state Of Kansas. 1t
will be issued by degrees, as it may be
needed from time to time in the progress Of
building. ETC. None of it will ever bc
offered for public subscriptions. or will go
out OF the treasury of the Atchison com
paay. None of the bonds or stocks OF any
of the roads embraced in the Kansas &
Western charter a,e owned by the public,
or are likely to h. The statement OF
mileage to be operated under this new
charter has been greatly exaggerated. In
May next when lines now in process of
construction are finished. the entire Atchi-
son system. including the California South
ern railway and the entirc Kansas 4
! Western system. will not amount to quite
. 5,0oo miles in the aggregate The present
mileage controlled. operated or owned By
,hc Chicago, Kansas 4 Western company
is at present only about SO miles.

FINANCES OF THE COUNTIES.
Some Needed Legislation to Make u
Harmony In Their Showings.

There has been expressed within the
criticism on some features contained in
the reports OF the Territorial Treasurer
and Auditor. One OF the most singular
showings, and the one which has called
forth the greatest number Of comments,
is the wonderful disparity displayed be-
tween the receipts and disbursements or
appointments OF several Of the coun-
ties, some of which show a big in
debtedness while others appear to have
received much greater sum from the
Territorial apportionment than the total
revenues Of their respective corporations.
Several gentlemen concerned in these
matters are now in town, some of them
in the Legislature; and a reporter sought
to learn from the parties the true cause
OF such discrepancies. 1t seems that
under the present system county collect
ors are required to submit their annual
reports, with accompanying balances, on
the last day of each year, while the
school apportionment is not made until
some days later. OF course these appor-
tionments to the various counties cut quite
| dif ililpOTtitnI ilBuTc III tHc reSOufCcS, anu
in number of cases would materially
change the exhibit in the financial state
ment, as relating to those counties. The
county collectors are in need, they claim,
Of some legislation which will remedy
this faulty system, in order that their
whole resources and revenues may APP
pear in the financial showing. A COM
mittee, composed of several of the ablest
county collectors, framed a bill which
would have afforded remedy for the
evil, and it was before former session
of the Legislature, and passed the
Council. The measure was prepared
with considerable care, and involved
much and arduous labor, but for some
reason became smothered. 1t would be
good subject for the present Legislature
to act upon, and those interested gentle
men who are now here could formulate a
bill to cover the needs, and would be glad
to receive the relief which such an act
would bring to them.

present practice there are often grave

should strike a mining boom, which
sometimes requires rapid work.
Rep.-Do you anticipate a boom in
mining in Utah?
Gen.-I am convinced that the
possibilities Of Utah mines are hardly
dreamed of, except in the case of the few
who have looked into the matter, and
these are patenting claims as fast as they
can. Comparatively few men are en-
gagged in mining yet, and still our gold,
silver and lead yield for 1885 shows up
very respectfully at nearly eight million
dollars. The mines that have been
worked indicate greatly increased posi-
bilities for the future. Besides, the larg-
est anthony and iron deposits on earth
are in Utah, and we have sulphur enough
to supply Sheol for hundred centuries.
Rep.-What do you think of our agri-
cultural lands?
Gen.-The science OF agriculture in
Utah is far-famed, and yet believe that
it is only in its infancy. Only let it be
felt in the East that there is security in
investment here, and the influx of CAPT
tai and energy will be unprecedented in
the history OF Western enterprise. This
opinion is not altogether new to me. !

Local Oneras.

Unless some plan is devised which
shall afford more substantial support to
local efforts in the opera here, there is
little question that all interest on the part
OF the active workers in these delightful
entertainments will early become extinct.
There have been few, if any, Of the op-
eras thus far given in this city which have
provided more than pittance to all en-
gagged, and in several cases there
have been arrearages left for the
management to personally settle.
This is not due to an Indifference of the
public, for all the operas given by local
talent here have drawn good houses, but
the expenses are enormous and the box
office receipts comparatively small even
with Il good house. The "Iolanthe"
Company, whose success has been per-
haps equal to nearly any of its prede-
cessors, find in footing up their receipts
and expenditures that the company is
really $lS behind. Some means should
be adopted to secure for these local efforts
a better financial recognition.

Senator Teller's Position.

So far no newspaper OF standing in the
State has approved Senator Teller's de-
tense, or rather excuse, of polygamy and
Mormonism. There is but one opinion
all over the State concerning him, and
that is that he has greatly injured himself
and misrepresented the State. Even
though it be true, as is charged,
that Senator Teller has been en-
ployed as an attorney TO defend
Mormonism there is universal convic-
ton that as United States Senator he has
no right to appear as an attorney for any
one save the State and people. To enter
into the employ of particular class of
violaters of the law is to violate the trust
reposed in him. 1t is grave mistake OF
the Senator, and one which will cost him
the friendship and respect of large ma
jority of Colorado people.-Gunnison Re

manner in which 1t is offered.

Yours very truly,

Mr.. Krouse on taking the handsome
gift, which was elegantly mounted in gold
and contained the name of the company
and the initials of the recipient, expressed
in few words his appreciation OF the
that the token would be brought into
good service.
This was followed by several of the
choicest selections from the opera with
orchestra accompaniment, prominent
among which was Mrs. Leviberg's solo,
"Oh, Foolish Fay" which was rendered
in splendid style and received deserved
recognition.
Later in the evening refreshments were
served, after which dancing was resumed
and kept up until the "wee sma' oors.'
