The Cause Of our Railwa, problem.

When legislative inducements were
made Ia investors for the construction
Of new railroads, capitalists were
pleased TO be relieved of ordinary pru-
dencc in making their investments,
and upon the strength OF such legisla-
ton continued 10 build railroads in
excess Of commercial wants, expecting
10 so adjust the traffic rates as TO in
sure TO them good profits; but this
was never the purpose Of the shippers
or Of the Legislators who represented
them, for, by the construction OF nu-
merous lines, they expected TO arouse
q spirit of competition among the rail-
roads which would lead 10 cut rates
and reduced cost OF service Thus
the original laws which stimulated the
organization and construction Of rail-
roads polarized the interests OF the in
vesiors and the shippers, and made
mutually cpellent forces which
should have mutually attracted Each
was deluded by false hopes, for
neither considered the rights or inter
ests Of the other. and all subsequent
legislation which has aimed 20 pre-
serve the benefits Of unwise and pre-
mature railroad construction 10 the
public has shifted all the evils and con-
sequent losses upon the railroad com
panies, while the efforts of railway
companies 10 avoid all competition
by a division Of revenues would
throw the entire burden of support
ing useless roads upon the public; and
il is this unbalanced condition Of az
fairs which has led TO aggreSsions upon
the part Of railroads, adverse vcniicfs
by juries, and hostile Legislation by
the states, all Of which are IA the ma
ture Of reactions due 10 tho disturbance

At is not now generally remember
ed, but it is literally true, that Wash

tors. The doctors were not 10 blame
for this. They only did what their
professional forerunners had been do
ing under similar circumstances for
ages, and what Washington himself
would probably have desired had he
been caught without medical advice.
But-we speak under correction in
this tsays The Nationl-it is probably
at least fifty years since any distin-
guished man has run any similar risk
in the United States. In other words,
within the past half century, Ameri-
can, English aud French doctors have
abandoned what for thousands of
years they had treated as the sheet
anchor ol their treatment. a remedy
which they applied in nine out of ten
cases which fell into their hands. \
more striking illustration OF the un-
certainty of the medical art lis revil-
ers are not able 10 produce. Il is true
the doctors try 10 weaken the force Of
the illustration by pleading that the
characteristics OF disease have chang
ed, that they are no longer Of the in
Aammatory type as they used to be,
or so much the result Of plethora; but
this does not make much impression.
The practice is still kept up in those
countries in which medical education
has made least advances-Spain, for
instance. and Italy Within our own
time, another great man of the Wash
ington type. Count Cavour has been
slain by medical bleeding precisely as
Washington was. The worse Cavour
grew, the more his doctors blcl him,
and he finally succumbed under the
treatment in the howerof las age and

His performance served As a pedom-

Foreman Stevens, Of the Illinois e.
Wisconsin Cattle Co. arrived in town
on Thursday aud b;iugs the intelii-
gence oI the death bv lightning of Il
COW boy named Wiley Collins. who
was struck and instantly killed in a
storm on July 18th, while engaged in
driving herd Of 100 cattle from
Wendover, Wyo., north to the COM
pany's range on the head of Powder
river.
Ii was late in the afternoon when
Mr.. Stevens aud the deceased were in
charge Of the mess wagon and were In
advance Of the drove and the balance
Of the men In search o; a spot to camp
for the night. A storm was rising IN
the north and the party were in a
hurry to get into camp. The team
was four mules and Collins was sitting
in the seat driving. Mr.. Stevens was
walking ahead and a fine large cOolie
dog was running under the wagon.
Suddenly the wind commenced 10
blow from the quarter Of the storm
ard a darkness settle in. The light
ming commenced 10 fash and the
thunder roared, while the rain fell in
torrents. Mr.. Stevens called out 10
Collins to turn the team round
back to the storm, so the team would
not get the full force Of il, bu. he
somewhat protected by the wagon.
This was about To be done when a ter
rible fash of lightning came and sp-
peared TO strike the wagon. The
mules broke away and ran to Mr..
Stevens, who was a short distance off;
he secured them aud ran to where
Collins was sitting. He approached
him and found him motionless, with
a slight hole in his forehead, from
which blood was oozing. and perfectly
dead. The dog under the wagon was
dead. The lightning had splintered
portion Of the wagon, but doing it
little harm. Mr.. Stevens then put
the team in the wagon and went back
to where the herd was, where several
men were obtained and the body
taken TO the town of La Belle, where
a number Of COW boys got together
an held an inquest upon II,
resulting in finding a verdict that the
deceased had come to his death by a
stroke Of lightning. The body was
then buried on the banks of the Belle
Fourche in Cook county, Wyoming.
The verdict signed by those who sat
upon the body was forwarded to the
coroner at Sundance, with statement
of what had occurred and ths place
where the body was buried. There
was no coroner at the spot where the
inquest was held.
Upon examination of the body ii
was found that the current had en-
tered the body just over the right eye
and had passed entirely through it,
coming out at the soles Of the act. On
the breast there was red mark show
fng that at that point on the body the
current had approached the surface
and nearly came out. Two hours
after death the body commenced to
mortify and when IL was buried it had
turned black and was rapidly putrefy-
ing. The deceased was from Con-
zsles county, Tex, and was reputed
az being sober and steady young
