There is bill at present before con
gress granting the right-of-way for q
railroad from this city to some point on
the B. & NJ. in Wyoming. It is under.
stood that as soon as the bill passes work
will at once begin, as the line, according
to the terms Of the bill, must be- com
pleted inside of two years. This is
something more than rumor, and is
based on facts. What corporation it is
that is backing the concern is as yet not
definitely known, but it is supposed to
be the B. 6 M.
Another company said to be Can
adam corporation lis intending to build
road from Mandan down through the
Hills, skirting the reservation on the
north as the r., e. 4 M. v. does on the
south. The corporation already has its
final survey made for a distance Of fifty
miles from Mandan toward the Hills,
and intends to rush it through. This
company also owns a valuable steam
ship line on the lakes which will make
the connecting link between this road
and the seaboard. The eastern termi-
nus will be Duluth, Mimi, and the line
when completed will undoubtedly have
its western terminus on the Pacific coast.
1t was in the interest OF this corporation
that 1. q. (ordway) johnson recently
visited this country.

The following was clipped from tho
Omaha Republican 81 last Saturday:
The last half of the days sport caught
everybody Il consisted Of two slashing
running races that made every one get
mp md scream with royal enjoyment.
The first was fve-eighth mile and re-
peat, for all ages. The purse was 800,
and the entries vigilante, Judge Duling
and Forest King. Judge DuIing didn't
start They went Of together and at
the quarter Forest King was neck
ahead. They wayered in rounding the
homestretch and came up the track d
puzzle to the judges. just in from the
shut-out pole Vigilante bore ahead Of
tho King and won the race BY half a
head. It was q great surprise to the
grand stand and spectators generally.
Time, 1:055. On the repeat Forest
King got q half neck ahead when half
around, but lost it and came in beaten
by half a neck. Time, 1:051.
Yigilante is Sturgis horse and is
owned by james Brennan Of this city.
The above race took place in Omaha.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-10-10
SENATE BUNCONII8E.

The tariff debate in the senate is a debate for buncOmbe. It is we'll understood that there is no hope of bringing the bill to action before election day, and the repub- licans have no thought in talking tariff beyond the concession it makes to the popular demand for reform. The senti- ment among western republicans is for revision of the present excessive taxes and this was made very clear by the platform adopted by the state convention in Mime sota. The idea expressed in that platform, which declared ''in favor of the modifica- tion, readjustment and reduction of the tariff and reiterated ''the views of the upon the same subject, as we'll as the re- commendations Of the commission ap pointed under the last republican admins tration," typifies the feeling that prevails in the west in respect of the tariff. It was necessary, therefore, that the senate should respond ill some way to this feeling, and hence the introduction of bill reducing the revenues by about $75 ,000, ,O00 That tlis bill involved what General Harrison termed "a step ill the direction of free trade" meant nothing more than that hypo- crisy had not ceased to be popular with the leaders.
 But, as we have said, the debate on the bill is for buncombe. Men like Allison, Hawley and Sherman, whose tariff views when not hampered by campaign exigencies have been very different from what we may now expect them to be, can hardly be expected to stultify themselves by urging such bill to its passage. The presenta- | tion of the bill is sop thrown to those re- publicans who are insisting on tariff re- vision, and the debate on the bill is in tended to stave off action. Meanwhile the revenues, which the majority report ac- companying the bill acknowledged to be excessive, continue to increase the surplus 1 The surplus will have reached s15O, ,0OO,- 900 probably before election day, yet the i senators will talk with no intention to stop the unnatural hoarding of the peoples money. What burlesque on statesman ship!
 1 Buncombe talk will make votes for Cleveland. Taxation for surplus and bounties is not popular with American freemen, and the party that upholds it is going to be showed under in the blizzard of ballots next month.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-10-10

CONGRESSMAN FIrCH gets back at the Harlem republican club in great shape. Last summer the club warned Mr Fitch that he would reflect the sentiments of the party if he voted so that all internal rev. snue should be abolished and all revenue raised by tariff on imports. MT Fitch now suggests to the club, as the re- publican majority of the senate finance committee and MT Blaine. have pronounced against repeal of the tax on whiskey, ''the immediate adoption by your club of some courteous but decided resolutions which shall call the attention of the republi, l senators and MT Blaine to the fact that they do not represent the republican sentiment of Harlem as expressed by your club" MT Fitch has a hip-lCck on the Harlem club.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-10-10

Sympathy with the masses in Andrew Carnegie As well try to wiring blood out of turnipl To make a silk purse from a sows ear To find mercy in n hungry wolf Andrews garments would be soiled by contact with the masses. Coaching through England and Scotland in the delightful comI anionship" of Blaine, keeping house at Cluny Castle in '' real laird style," fattening like vampire on the blood of his fellow men,-this is more in Carneges line than sympathizing with the masses.
 Sympathy with the masses, indeed There is no bread in stone. There is ( touch of sympathy for the masses in the narrow heart of Andrew Carnegie!
