THE CHICAGO NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

1t now seems to be pretty generally
conceded by the Press on this coast and
in the east that the Chicago Northwestern
funds are being used in the business Of
building the Oregon Pacific to Yaquna
bay, or we might say rather from that
point eastward, and that it is to be cx-
tended till it meets the Chicago coming
west. 1t has long been a mystery to
some who was furnishing the means
which the Oregon Pacific has been using
in their extended operations 10 Oregon.
Many have thought that Jay Gould was
furnishing the sinews of war for the en-
terprise on his own hook, and others that
the Union Pacific company was doing OF
having this work done, and that Col.
Hogg was only figure head in the
matter. The managers of the U. P.
denied all interest in the matter, and not
till surveyors were ordered to take pos.
session of certain canyon and graders
to construct grade through it, did il
come to the surface in the western public
that the Chicago Northwestern had any
interest in the road. Now it is conceded
all along the line that that strong com.
pany was an important factor, in fact,
the chief factor in the road. 1t is now
quite evident that such is the fact and
that Yaquina bay will soon become an
important rival of Portland for all bust.

Buried Treasures.

Information has reached this office to the effect that a company has been organized, with a prominent retired merchant of this city at its head, for the purpose of searching for a certain buried treasure supposed to be hidden in the neighborhood of Gran Quivera, OincOln county, N. M.,) one of the seven cities of Cibola, and their capi- tai. Even at the present day exten- sive ruins, broken aqueducts and walled cisterns, with splral staircases running from top to bottom of them, together with all the eviI fences of SUI perfUr civilization, 7prd Fig byttne presence in the midst of the ruins of an immense church edIfce that Coro- nado and his mail clad warriors. or whatever race of people inhabited these wonderful ruins were of theo- logical turn of mind, or at least at- tended public worship. Tradition has it that this treasure amounts to the princely sum of $20,OOO,OOO, and while many have spent money and time in fruitless search for it, the present com pany is not discouraged by the failure of others, but are prepared to do the utmost possible to lay bare the secrets of the inhabitants of Gran Quivera and its treasures. They have maps and plans obtained from some source which the reporter could not ascertain, and will put up considerable money to prosecute the search until the money is discovered or plain evidence is gwen that the quest is hopeless. The search will commence at once, and it is ex- pected that early developments will prove the explorers are on the right tract-Albuquerque Journal.

The Coming Crisis in Denmark.

According to the recent news from Denmark that country is On the eve of a revolution. It is impossible says an English paper, that crisis can be delayed much longer. The cities are under the most deSpotic martial law, and papers throughout the country are gagged. Several editors are at present in prison tor discussing the conduct of the King, and immediate arrest follows either speech or writing rehecting upon the Estrnp Ministry: The people appear to be e7erywhers prepared for a revolt, and are only waiting for the signal from some dar- ing leader to head them, when gen: eral uprising will take place. Whert it does come tic King and his sup
 porters will find out when too late that the people of Denmark will not submit to have their rights tIamDlet upon by tyrart monarch any longer.

Gold For thc Girl.

In the employ of one of the wealth lest ladies in Rochester has been for some time a colored domestic. The girl was young, and apparently pos sessed of large number of episto- latory friends, for nearly every trip of the letter carrier brought her one or more letters. Receiving so much cor respondence excited the wrath and possibly feeling of jealousy Tn her mistress, who was irritated beyond endurance at each arrival of the post man. Finally, about two weeks ago, two letters came for the domestic, and reached the hands of the lady, who petulantly threw them into the stove. The following day the postman hand ed another letter to 4the girl herself and told her she was receiving a great many letters.
 Not so many" she replied. "This is the first one I have got in a week. |"
 The letter carrier asserted that he brought two only the day before. The girl went to her mistress and instantly demanded an explanation. The lady said:-
 "Yes, I did get two letters for you, but I threw them into the stove. You are receiving altogether too many let ters lately"
 She told the story to her husband at night as a good joke. The latter looked grave when the girl threatened to bring suit, and the upshOt of the whole matter is that the girl has been paid an even twenty thousand dollars to keep the case out of the courts.
 The mistress now has new girl, but the old ono dosen't care. Maybe she will go to Europe.

Poverty and Plenty.

The recent elections in Ireland show very clearly that poverty stricken peo- pie are nearly always opposed to tbe government, while those who are in more comfortable circumstances sup port 1t. A revolutionist is nine times out of ten a hungry man. In the northeast of Ireland, where there are thrift, remunerative industries and successful agriculture, the Loyalists won. In the south and west, where there is an eternal struggle to keep the wolf from the dcor, where a pota- to blight means starvation, and where rents cannot be paid, because the soil yields bare subsistence, the Nation alist candidates have been returned with immense majorities. The same story is told in the Basque provinces of Spain, There the peasantry have hard work to make both ends meet, and there Don Carlos has always fOund his army of recruits. In the more prosperous parts of Spain the inhabi tants are content to let things be. People with something to eat are loyal; those with nothing to eat are eager for a change. The trueSt pa triot to the country is the man who propounds a scheme to better the physical condition of the people, and there are some among the more thoughtful people who are beginning to doubt If home rule, supposing 1t is secured, would prove the pdnacea that it is expected to be.

EcaurcgaTd and Early.

As is we'll known, Generals Beaure- gard and Early, who won distinction in the late war on the Confederate side, have for years lent their names to the Louisiana Lottery people at a salary. They witness and testify t5 fairness of the drawings. The lottery has been outlawed in every State in the Union, has been forbidden the use of the United States mails and has re- gently been shown to R,.ve omitted to pay S15,000 prize advertised and from which the lottery realized a full million of dollars. Tie Southern newspapers have heretofore been quite lenient Tn their treatment of the lot tery swindlers, their aiders and abet- tors. They seem to have come to a realizing sense of the magnitude of the ofense the lottery people are com mltting every day-at least some of the better class of Southern newspa- pers are. The Florida Times-Union says of Beauregard and Early: Blind Belisarius begging his bread in the streets of Rome was a far nobler spec tacle than that presented by these old Generals living in comfort on wages of gilded inlquity." The Charleston News-Courier speaks of the old Con- federate Generals as "the decoys of the lottery rogueS." Surely. in the face of all the facts, the Times Unions characterization of the men who lend their names for consideration to the Louisiana Lottery, outlawed and pro- scribed as it Is, is truthful, however sad and blistering its truthfulness may be.

She has established an escort bureau, at which young men of refine ment who have their evenings at their disposal and wish t6 add to their in- come can register their names, refer ences and other particulars and leave their photographs in an album, select the men who impress the most favor- ably and pay a small fee to the bu- reau. The men selected are sent for, told where they are to go, and re- ceive share of the fees for their services. Nobody ever knows that the escort IS a professional e32 pt che lady who hired him, and as he does not wear a uniform, like a messenger boy, nothing about his appearance gives him away.

over the famous Mir. Erskine as being an enunciator of the now universally accepted doctrine of the law of libel. He was the earliest and most prom1- nent lawyer at the bar of Philadel- phla and chairman of the committee that erected Independence Hall. It Is singular and curious fact that the man who with his own hands designed Independence Hall and attended to all the plans for its erection was the same man who first, in any land, laid down substantial legal grounds in support of the freedom of newspaper publica- tions. In a careful review of Hamil- tons career by the late Judge Cad walader, he saysi
 "The high opinion pf him rests sole ly upon his argument in the Zenger libel case, which made a great noise in the world. The novelty in his day of his propositions and of the reason ing by which he supported them ex- plains the many ill-natured criticisms that have been made of them. His propositions which were, strictly speaking, untenable as points of An glosAmerica colonial law in that day, nevertheless prevailed with the jury. These propositions have since been engrafted permanently upon the polit- ical jurisprudence of this continent. If that speech to the jurors, which ac- quilted Zenger, had never been utter ed, or had 1t not been reported, the framers of the constitutions of the several States might not have been prepared for the adoption of provis- ions like that of the declaration of rights in Pennsylvania. winch is that the printing presses shall be free to every person who undertakes to ex- anime the proceedings of the Legisla- ture or any branch ofgovernment and no law shall ever be made to restrain the rights thereof. The free commu- nication of thoughts and opinions is one of the invaluable rights of man and every citizen may freely speak, write and print on any subject, being
 
 being responsible for the abuse of that liberty, In prosecutions for the pub licatlons of papers investigating the official conduct of officers or men in public capacity or where the matter published is proper for public infor- nation the truth thereof may be given = eviaezsas,-a1ltl m, iis <; for libel the jury shall have right to de- termine the law and the facts under the direction of the Court"
 Hamilton argued three propositions. One that the jury had in prosecutions for hbels the same right as in other to determine the law as we'll as the facts. Another was that as the alleged libel concerned the off, cial conduct of persons acting in public l the publication was justifa ble if the statements were true. The other was that true or false, the limits of the fair discussion of subjects of general public interest had not been The two first proposi- tions were innovations in his day. No man ever presented them before. The third proposition was so bold that he only suggested it, lest he should prejudice his case, but the lights of after-born wisdom have since shown that he was right, and to-day the principles that Bradford and Hamil- ton struggled for are everywhere up held.

WHAT USE?
A Sensible Way to Look at an Old Con-
troverted Question.

Sensible Way to Look at an Old Con-
troverted Question.
The Chicago Tribune quotes DR.. Ly-
man Abbott, of the Christian Union, as
authority for the alleged fact that
Christ made wine of superior quality
with no other apparent object than to
add to the festivities of Wedding
that while there were total-abstinence
societies in existence in His day upon
earth, and while they were well known
to Him, He neither joined nor COM
mended them, nor did He obey their
precepts, in this differing from His
herald, John. There is class of Jour-
mails and of good people, who will Wig
orously join issue with such statements,
and thus forty-year-old debate, on an
old question, may be revived by those
who are not tired of it. Suppose they
be true, as we have always believed
they were, do they prove any thing in
favor of habitual drinking? Are
not such controversies scholastic
and uselessP The only sensible way
to look at this subject is to look at it
squarely, and as it now is. Is there
any living soul that believes that
Christ is on the side of the dram-shops
in the present conflict? Does any
sensible and devout person believe that
Christ, if now in the flesh, would give
His example for habitual moderate
drinking? Not one. No such person
can be found. What, then is the use
of this controversy over conditions
which existed two thousand years ago?
We said dozen years ago in these
columns that it would be quite innocent
to be careless in striking matches in a
stone-quarry, and criminal to be SINH
larly careless in a powder-magazine.
1t is easy to prove that just such diff
ference in conditions and surroundings
between the two eras exists. Every
father and mother now knows that it
is deadly peril to permit the boys to
acquire drinking habits at home-that
the probabilities are strong that fatal
consequences will follow. Every body
knows that a saloon is nuisance and
a curse. What sense is there in argu-
ing in the clouds when these terrible
facts lie across our footsteps?- Chicago
