SENATOR MATT ANDERSON, q promi-

speech before the farmers institute at

that all farmers ought to oppose the

HERE is a sentence from a speech
made by Judge Gresham in 1884: "We
should legislate IN the interests Of our
own people rather than IN the interest
Of mankind at large. Not until we are
able to control the markets of the world
ear we afford to adopt free trade"

INDUSTRIAL SUMMARY

! American mill machinery ia generally
regarded as superior to that of Englar A
on the ground of its greater lightns N
and durability.
An excellent cement for use on mater
ials exposed to moisture is composed of
one part lndia-rEbber in twelve parts
naptha, with twenty parts powdered gum
shellac.
The ivory product of one elephant }
120 pounds, the value of which is about
three hundred dollars. England yearly
consumes $50 tons, the product of 1900
elephants.
The manufacture of carpets from the
fiber of pine leaves promises to become
thriving industry. It is good substitute
for iute and fax, and bears a close re-
semblance TO yarn.
Paper window glass is noa said to be
an assured fact. As described; "a win
dow pane is made Of white paper, manu-
featured from cotton or linen, and modi-
fed by chemical .e.icn. Afterward the
paper is dipped ia a preparation of cam
pbor and alcohol, which makes il like
parchment. From this point it can be
moulded and cut into remarkable tough
sheets entirely transparent, and IT can be
dyed with almost the whole of the aniIine
coiors, the result being a transparent
sheet, showing far more vivid hues than
the best glass exhibits
The old gambler had no respect for the
value OF money. Dollars were mere play
things to him, and be wagered fortune
with as much indifference az an amateur
wagers beans. He gambIed with one foot
in the grave. Though i'll and almost des-
titute be visited his old haunts until two
weeks before his death, "bucking the
tiger" with his last cent. lie paid his
debts with scrupulous promptness. At
the Gedney house where he breathed his
last he did not owe a dollar.

As to the financial operations of the
Union Pacific company the commission
refers to the manage uent of Mr.. Gould
and his directors in undertaking to re-
lease themselves from liability and obi
gatlon by their own acts and rates as
SOMEWHAT EXTRAORDINARY"
The report deals quite extensively with
the operations of Mr.. Gould in purchas-
ing the Missouri Pacific, the Kansa,
Central. and the Central Branch Union
Pacific with the view OF constructing a
road from st. Louis to the Pacific The
methods employed by him to terrify di-
rectors to a submission to his plans are
discussed in manner not in Mr.. Gould's
credit as a reputable railway manager.
As contrast to such management the
commission refers to the conservative.
energetic and intelligent management
when has characterized tie admin
| lstratioa of the Union Pacific railway
from the spring of 1884 to the present
| time" the commissioners have gone into
the management of the Central Pacific
COMPANY with great ninuteness and
severe criticism.
As an evidence of the Huntington man
agement the cost of the Central Pacific is
given at $le0,S12, 529 when the commits
sion found it was 5S,301 1881 having pro.
fit of 100000 which was paid so Stan
ford, Huntington, Hopkins and Croker
being voted TO them by their own votes.
Other similar transactions are given.
As to the Souix City and Pacific com
pany the commission found no construc-
ton books or vouchers in existence from
which the cost of construction could be
ascertained But the action of the com
missloners in dividing among themselves
the first mortgage bonds of the road is
characterized as wanton isolation of
the law. The commission report that the
requlrments of assessing stockholders
upon their stock until the par value should
be fully paid has not been kept, that the
requirements of frst-class roads have al
so not been kept: that the requirement to
construct telegraph lines has not been
kept: that the obligations for carrying
troops and the mails have been observed
and that no dividends of any of the bond
aided roads have ever been paid in VIC
lation of law. The commission finds,
while there is no proof of actual bribery,
that money and passes have been used by
Officials of the Union Pacific company for
Influencing legislation.
The bill proposed by the commission
ls designed to remedy the evils mentioned
above. But il is probable the corpora
lions control too many congressman to
to allow il to pass,
