The Same Old Story.

Engineers are locating preliminary
lines between Bel Air and the Susque-
hanna river on the Deer Creek and
Susquehanna railroad. The Hartford
Democrat says:
President Jewett, who has had
much experience in railroading, says
the road can, and will be built If the
people living on and near the route
selected will give the right of way and
subscribe with fair liberality to the
capital stock. AS local enterprise the
company is not only entitled to this
consideration, but this local aid is alb
solutely necessary in order to induce
capitalists to subscribe to the bonds re-
quired for the completion and equip
ment of the road"
This is stereotype of every railroad
that we know of ip settled part of
the country. The anxious population
are squeezed oat of the last cent they
can raise and when the last drop OF
milk is extracted from the quiet old
cow word is sent to the capitalists to
come on; old GRUMPY horn won't let
down any more. And on they come
and commence operations by taking a
mortgage on the whole business" and
in year or SO the property is sold to
pay the mortgage which wipes out the
farmers stock. Then some more stock
is issued by the new owners of the
franchise, and the road is built; then
some more stock is issued called equip
ment stock may be, which means
water most likely. Then the freights
and fares are placed at the top notch to
pay the interest on the bonds and div
idends on the stock; and ifthe business
increases the company soon find il
necessary to issue some more stock,
and rates must be kept up to the high
est point to pay this imaginary debt.
And this swindling game is the history
of nearly every railroad in the country.

this sum is swelled to $3.50 .O00, COG when
the State licenses are included, but the
sales of this business amount in year
to 5000 100000, hence $3.50 100000 is a
moderate sum to pay for this giant

is that these Congressional orators who
draw upon the strongest language that
Webster affords in denouncing the
inonepolies and ''trusts,'' never, or
hardly ever" allude to the overshad-
owing giant of them all. the liquor
monopoly. The public who care to be
informed on public questions will in

brave denUnciations, when they have
not a word in condemnation of the
overlapping monopoly of the whole

The Trusts.

This device of gorged capital has
lately sprung into prominence and the
Congressional orators are making all
the capital out of them possible to ad-
vance the interest of the Mills Tariff
Bill. The following severe Indictment
ofthe trusts was made by Mr.. Rayner
of Maryland in the House in his tariff
speech: "The proper definition of this
character of trust is this. 1t is a COM
bination between owners and produce rs
of certain articles of merchandise to
keep up the prices of the manufactured
product. to suppress competition, to
bankrupt private investments and to
compel the public to pay such rates as
the combination may determine upon.
They are not creatures of fiction; they
are living realities, ramifying through
almost every State and section of this
country. They are ofillegitimate birth:
they have been nourished by the most
corrupting influences, and to. day.
largely with the aid ola protective tar.
if, they command the home markets
and overshadow the business centers of
this land. In their inception they are
hostile to the spirit of our laws, and in
the accomplishment of their purposes
they are at war with the free spirit of
our institutions"
We trust that the honorable members
will not weary of well doing but keep
up the fire on those trusts" How
much the tariff is to blame for their
existence we cannot say, but the tariff
is not responsible for all of, nor the
greatest of these monopolies. We fear
that as soon as a vote is had on the pres
ent tariff bill before Congress, that this
spasm of Congressional virtue will quiet
down and we will hear no more from
that quarter of the vampire trusts"
There are 81 ofthese trusts n existence
Mr.. Rayner says. The two greatest are
the Standard Oil trust or monopoly and
the liquor monopoly. Mr.. Rayner
condemned the Oiltrust but when re-
minded that the tariff could have no
influence over it, he did not inform bis

Queer People.

This is the title of the latest,
and BY all odds the most charm
ing book for little people we have
ever seen Its fables, or stories,
are delightful, but the illustrations
are simply immense.
The author, Palmer Cox, is a
new star in the juvenile armament,
but he shines with unique brillian-
cy. His charming fables rival
those Of the world famed Esop,
and be far outshines
that celebrated literary
comet by his inimitable illustra-
lions. He dresses up his birds,
animals, insects, giants. fairies,
COLLINS, etc, in grotesque style
and makes them reason, talk, dance,
and cut up all sorts of the oldest
pranks imaginable, afording in
finite delight as well as excellent
instruction to the young. The is
sue Of his book Queer People"
has brought a perfect ovation of
praise from the brightest men in
the land. Tor instance, Gen. Clin-
ton b. Fiske says: 1T has set my
children wild with delight" and
Col Russell H. Conwell, the ia
nous lecturer says: Don't send
me another such book, for 1 can't
get my children to bed
The famous statesman diplomat,
and wit, Sunset Cox, says: The
KNeer Kapers are simply incom-
parable" while the distinguished
theologian, DR.. Howard Crosby
says: they have the fascination
that belongs TO Esop and Uncle
Remns," and the venerable poet,
Oliver Wendell Holmes, writes,
Il am sorry l have not a nursery
full Of little folks to enjoy its
bright pictures and stories"
EsOp's fables are enjoyed by
