Why did slavery ever exist? There
was money in it. A fat retainer in
the hands of the lawyer will secure
brilliant and learned council and
acquittal in a case in which if truth
and justice be regarded the accused
should go to the gallows or the peni-
Tertiary. Why? There is money in
it. Thousands of people may faint
under the lash of oppressive legisla-
ton, and drag out miserable ex-
istence under tyrannical rule, and
this at time when so-called patriots
are squeezing the tail of the Ameri-
can eagle until he screeches. Why :?
There is money in it. We have been
suffering for twenty years because of
the iniquitous act of 1873 which de-
monetized silver and yet we can get
no redress from those who have the
power to grant it. Why? There is
money in it. Yes; there is money in
1t; but it is for the few, while the
many may toll and sweat, and sweat
and toll, and then die'in poverty's
hat and be buried in the potters'
feld.-Silver State, Winnemucca, Ne

Our Rotten Railroad System.

The New Nation.
The railroad record for the first
six months of 1892 has been tabu-
lated by the Railway Age, with the
result of showing that the railroad
system of the country is tumbling
toward general bankruptcy at an ac-
celebrating rate. During the period
referred to, there were IA fore
closure sales of railroads, with total
mileage of 1888 miles. The funded
debt Of these roads was $43, 100000,
and the capital stock $24,484,000,
representing a total of $68,O0O,O0O
of so-called securities"
In addition to. these foreclosure
sales, "a roads with 9,179 miles of
track, were placed in the hands of
receivers. The bonds issued on
these roads represent $132,402,000
and the stock amounts to $177, 401,-
900, total of $31O,000,000 of ''se-
curities."
The Railway Age states that this
six months record of disaster ex-
ceeds both as to the mileage and
capitalization involved, any previous
II months record for many years
back. In the whole of 1891, for ex-
ample, only 2,159 miles Of road, rep
resenting $84,479,000, and IN 1890
only 1868 miles, representing $685.
0O7,0OO capitalization, passed into
receivers hands, being only fourth
to third of the trackage and capt.
talization which have gone that way
in the past six months alone.
To make this exhibit even more
startling, the Age points out that in
number of instances so-called con-
solicitations Of roads have taken place
which practically amounted to con-
lessons of bankruptcy.
There could be no greater mistake
than to imagine or represent national
ization of the railroad system as a
step likely to be injurious to the in
terests Of persons holding railroad
stock stock and bonds. It would be
on the contrary a measure of pro-
lection for their investments, without
which they must continue to be
at the mercy of spectators and
Wreckers.
The only people whose business
will be interferedwith by national
ization are these same spectators
and Wreckers.

gineering News, the fastest train In
the world. The fastest train from
Berlin to Cologne, according to my
official railway guide, makes the dis
lance In nine hours and five minutes,
with an average speed of 1915 miles
per hour hour, better rate of speed
than that of the fastest limited be-
tween New York and Chicago un-
less there has been an improvement
since | last looked at the timetables
of these trains. From Wiesbaden to
Cologne, l made 3548 miles per
hour, all stops included, and my
average speed from Cologne to Bre-
men, likewise including all stops, was
1886 miles per hour. might give
other statistics, but there would be
nothing gained by so doing. 1t is
very doubtful if in travelling North
and South, East and West, in this
country, one could make as good
time. Of course, in considering
average speed IN the United States,
we must not only take into account
the express trains between great cen
ters like Chicago and New York,
New York and Boston and New
York and Washington, but the trains
running North and South, the trains
in the South, and those in the far
West-the trains, for example, cross
ing the plains, which do not make
as good time as a fast ocean steamer.
We must also take into account the
fact that German trains are on time,
while ours are often hours late.
The general Improvement in rail
ways in Prussia since the nationalist
ton has been immense, and has con-
verted practically the entire people
to acknowledgements that there
may be no opponents, but that they
are few and rapidly diminishing in
number. Every well-informed man
whom | met in Prussia, without one
exception, considered the test of ex-
perience as demonstrative of the
superiority, in that country at least,
Of the government ownership of rail-
ways, and | did not see one person
who would like to go back to the old
system of private ownership.

AN IMPORTANT CASE.

The case of Doloritas Romero ct
al. against the Henry Korte estate,
which has been pending for some
time, and which involves $4,000 or
$4,000 of property, was argued be-
fore Judge O'Brien at chambers last
Saturday. The case is noted one,
and the decision of Judge O'Brien is
looked forwardto with a great deal
of interest. The judge has not indi-
Gated when he will hand in his de-
cision, but it is expected in few
days.
The questions involved in the case
seem to be the right of illegitimate
heirs to claim the property of an UNI
married father. 1t seems that Frank
Metzger, the father of these illegit-
innate heirs, decided his property in his
lifetime to Henry Korte, and also
went through the form of legitima-
thing the wife of Henry Korte as his
only legitimate heir. The petition
ers in the suit claim that Metzger
never decided his property to Korte
in point of fact, but that he made
fraudulent transfer, and that he was
the actual owner of the property when
he died. They also claim that he
did not comply with the law in legit-
imatizing the wife Of Henry Korte,
and that he had no right to prefer
her as the only heir to his estate.
The heirs of Henry Korte, on the
other hand, claim that he bought
Metzger's property, and paid for it,
and that Metzger had right, if he
so chose, to make the wife of Korte,
who was also an illegitimate child
of Metzger, his sole and universal
heir. Geo. w. Prichard represents
the Korte heirs, defendants, and T..
B. Catron, j. d. w. Veeder and
Rafael Romero, the petitioners.
The case is of special interest, not
only on account of the large amount
of property involved, but also the
fact of the bearing it has on other
cases of like character In the terri
tory.
