Two Men Create . Small Sensation At
White Sulphur Springs.
A gentleman who came in from White
Sulphur Springs last evening reports that
the usually quiet town is considerably
worked mp over the jumping" of the
springs by Dan Lucid, a printer. and VIM.
Bogy, merchant Of that place.
At different times within the past two
years there have been rumors to tho effect
that the springs would be jumped, but un-
til Monday nothing had been done. The
city council at one time had contemplated
appropriating the springs for the city, but
they did not do it. There has been talk

investigated the title and all documents
connected with government entry, and hav-
ing satisfied themselves that everything

But the "jumpere have relocated the
springs as a water right. They claim that
the track Of land surrounding the springs
was taken up as agricultural lands, but no
entry was ever made taking mp the water.

water right.
Banker L. H. Hershaeld, Of this city,
who is at the head of the White Sulphur
Springs springs syndicate, had not heard
that the springs were jumped until an In
DEPENDENT reporter acquainted him with
the fact. Mr.. Hershfield expressed no un-
easineas about the matter. He said threats
of this kind had been made by designing
blackmailers during the past two years. His
brother, Aaron Hersdsld, and Judge N. w.
| Mcconnell went to the springs last
| year and satisfied themselves perfectly that
the. title was all right. Mr.. Hershdeld
looks upon this last move a. blackmailinf
scheme. The syndicate has been more OF
less antagonized ever since it acquired the
property; Il has set OF park. in the
center Of which is located i've sulphur

allowed to use the water frse Of charge
The springs were originally located in 1870
BY James Brewer, livery man OF White
Sulphur Springs. He took in a. partners

paymaster, and James G. Blaine, present
secretary of state. These gentlemen soli
the property to Senator ParbeEry who II
turn sold it to the syndicate.

If the republican party were not that

If the republican party were not that
which it is, the party OF usurpation and
revolution, there would be no disposi.
ton upon the part of the measley ma
jority in the present congress to put
through legislation of partisan charac-
ter. The election of last week resulted
in the most emphatic vote of want of
confidence that ever was presented to
the view of an American congress-. In
spite of this, however, we need not be
surprised to see acts Of partisan char
acter undertaken at the short session.
Indeed, that course has already been
advised by the New York Tribune,
which tells it's readers that 'the election
of democratic house makes the duty
Of the present congress to pass an ap-
portionment law more imperative than
ever, for the reason that the democratic
majority in the Fifty second congress
cannot be trusted to deal with that
subject" The statement is psralyzing
in it's effrontery. The people have just
said, in the clearest and most emphatic
manner possible--that is, by the cleo
ton Of house Of representatives with
more than one hundred democratic ma
jority in place of house with less than
twenty republican majority the
republican party cannot be trusted to
deal with any subject Of national mo-
ment. The fact that the defeated party
has it in it's power for the next four
months to defy the will Of the people is
an incontrovertible argument in favor
of the proposition heretofore advanced
in The INDEPENDENT that the life Of
one congress should terminate with the
election of it's successor. In the present
case there is some consolation in the
fact that the narrowness of the congress
sional majority Of the defeated party in
terferes with it's ability to execute many
measures that such newspapers as the
New York Tribune and such leaders as
7. B. Reed recommend. The more they
attempt the less will be the probability
of the party's return to power.

properly a chicken" He is q little
more circumspect in regard to hen,
which he describes as "the female OF
any kind of fowl" It will be noticed
that although he does not call hen q
bird, he distinctly says bird is chick
en-. A bird being q chicken, it follows
that chicken is bird A hen is q
chicken, SO by the simplest rule Of logic
it is also bird. A hen being a bird,
hens eggs are birds eggs. There being
no duty on birds eggs, hens eggs, it
would seem, ought to be free. But they
are not, according to the Mckinley law.

Sage Scores Adamx

| Srecial to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Russell Sage,
in speaking OF yesterday Union Pacific
meeting III Boston. says: The meeting
took the form that was the plainest Tor
II. The directors were uuGuin Gus in
their action, and expressed the fullest
approval of the plans proposed for Sc
| curing harmony between the various
great railroad lines iu the West. The
accomplishment of this purpose now will
be that u call for meeting of the presi-
| dents OF the trhnscontlnental lines was
awaited only by the action OF this meet
ing. That call will now be issued AMI
the meeting will be hell next week The
tenor of Charles Francis Adams address
was almost unculled for. There had
been no public criticism up to this mo-
tnent by any OF the directors, notwlth-
standing the fact he was running the
road to ruin. The change in the mum
agement was simply Il necessity to save
the property, ana Adams speech was II
piece of spite work. One of the direc-
tors sail to me: at is a shameful tact
that Adams has been trying TO
run TINS great property by
means of lot of women typewriters aud
dozen or 80 Harvard graduates who
know no more of railroads than back
woodsman. The new members of the
board were Necessity to save the road
from ruin, that must have come within
year.'
'Adans said in his address, con-
tinued sage, ''that he hal been presi-
dent CT the road seven years, and dur
Ing that time the actions of the directors
had been in every case unanimous.
That Is simply snyins Adams has been
running the Union Pacific aud is respou-
shle for the condition il is in. In that
case he should explain now the pay roll
was increased by 1000 names in nine
months, and also what personal interest
he mad in Ger am ksnsus smelling
works. in favor Of which u discriminu-
ton was nude i'll the rates for shipping
bullion. and nlf-dOz"u other matters
that might be- inquired into. We are
not taking hold OF the Union Pacific for
the fun of the thing. am in Il not for
pleasure or financial profit, but to n.lp
TO save the property. The condition of
the road was surh that We had TO take
hold. Now all are in sympathy with the
plans laid down by Gould. Adams
references TO the political connections of
spite work. Adams saw he could not
maintain the system aud does not want
ANYBODY else to. That is the only con-
struction | can put upon several pns-
suges OF his address.
