Justice travels with heavy shoes,
but her arrival can be safely calcu-
lated upon. The merits and value
of the book with the unlucky nick
name are being recognized. The
Kansas newspaper men, while they
have never made public amends, show
forth their daily confidence i'm the
Herd Book. The student of that
work can detect the obituary notice
of the local celebrity taken from its
pages, or the biography of the rising
politician which originally formed a
part of the history of Buck Creek
township. The stone which the
builders laughed at has become the
head of the corner.
In the days of the contempt which
led to the derisive designation of
Herd Book" it was considered a
mark of weakness in a man that he
should have allowed his "short and
simple annals" TO appear in it. Now
it is esteemed an indication of his
prominence and public spirit. "He

Kansas man who aspires to eminence,
means that he is "a man of no ac-
count" He is an unknown"
Mr.. ID. w. Wilder in his "Annals,"
says: without full index, the true
value of the history will be known
only by the few who really read it. "

will be revealed the real method in
which the history of states and ma

history may be erected.

searches that Kansas "Herd Book"

the trail of the work which he will
fondly hope will settle the question
as to the varieties of horned cattle

to discover that instead of "horned

justices of the peace and members of
the legislature, whereupon he will

THURSTON'S THEORY.
The Attorney for the Union
Pacific Advances Sundry
Comments.
BE Says in Effect That His
Road Made a Fair Offer to
the st. Paul.
This Brings Out Some Strong
Criticism From President
Miller.
Summary Of Insolvent Roads,
With Foreclosure Sales
for 1890.

CHICAGO. Jan. 2.-The report that
the Rock Island company had given
notice to the Union Pacific that it must
discontinue the use of the Rock ISL
and's tracks from Beatrice south IS
denied by President Cable. That Of
fetal said to-day that, as his road had
not yet commenced operations under
the contract, no notice of any kim mad
been given by him 10 the Union Pacific.
If the latter road had discontinued the
use of the Rock Islands tracks 1t mad
done so Of It's own accord. John M.
Thurston in a published interview is
quoted as saying that an agreement was
entered into by Vice President Bond, OF
the st. Paul, and Jay Gould in New
York, for the temporary use of the Union
Pacific bridge, and that President Miller
refused to accept it. The point made
is that the Union Pacific made falr
offer to the st. Paul road, and the tenor
of the interview implies that it is not
the fault of the Union Pacific that the
st. Paul is not running trains into
Omaha, although no attempt is made
TO conceal the intention to block the
Rock Island from making competing
line to Denver. In regard to this matter
President Miller said to-day:
1.-The arrangement referred to by MI.
1hurSton was a suggested provisional
agreement telegraphed to me by Mr.,
Gould. Our people in New York ad-
vised me that it was not agreed by them,
but was left to my decision, They did
not even recommend it. l rejected 1t
under the advice of our counsel that 1t
was a very dangerous eXpedient for sew
eral reasons. First, it made the new
contract terminable on thirty days no.
tice; second. it gave US the right TO run
our trains 10 Omaha only, and not to
South Omaha; third, it left open, the
question of compensation; fourth, II
the present contract is not binding for
the reasons claimed by the Union Pa
cific. and may be brushed aside at the
will of Jay Gould, what security can we
have for day under provisional and
informal agreement terminable on
thirty days. notice? If the Union
Pacific is sincere in its expressed
desire to give us what we need to en-
able us to do our business properly. let
it take the simple and direct method OF
obedience to the order of the court.
pending judicial determination OF the
question whether there is any longer
such an instrument as a contract. Mr..
Thurston is lawyer enough to know
that this course cannot prejudice the
right of the Union Pacific, and he need
not be surprised at natural distrust
of any provisional arrangement which
is offered as asubstitute for the simple
and direct method of accomplishing the
purpose stated. Mr.. ThurstCn claims
that the Union Pacific wishes to be fair
to this company. This leads one to in
quire with some curiosity by what proc
ess of reasoning has he satisfied himself
that the summary reputation of plain
and distinct contract has become the
demonstration of disposition to be
tar."

DUN.S REVIEW.
Financial Resume of the Year
just Closed.

New YORK, Jan. 2.-The new year
opens with so much of uncertainty that
there is natural disposition to dwell
upon the crOWding records of the
year just closed, which show an ex-
traordlnary volume of business, in
many lines SURPRISING all precedent.
Iron. cotton, leather, boot and shoe and
meat production were larger than in
any previous year. Thus 2,219.3l2
cattle were slaughtered at Chicago,
against 1,763,310 in 1869. a gain of 25
per cent, and 5,733, O32 hogs against
4,211, 1867 in 1889, gain of SO
per cent. At Boston 1852, 211 cases
of boots and shoes were shipped, against
3,399,9S0, gain of 4 per cent. The
clearing house exchanges show that the
volume of all business in 1890 exceeded
that of any previous year by at least 10
per cent, though in part this increase
was due to the higher range of prices
during the greater part of the year.
ties compared with year ago is 6.6 per
cent. and the average has been So per
cent higher for eight months. But this
unprecedented volume of business has
not been altogether successful, and the
recorded failures have been in number
and in amount of liabilities larger than
in any previous year since 1884; though
in number only a trit1e greater
than in the year 1889, the average
of liabilities was S17,406 for the
year, against S13,672 the year before.
Moreover, the average of liabilities fer
the last quarter was greater than in
any other fourth quarter on record,
