A Free Hint.

Over the name of "Equitas" in
,as.. w2ek'9 Newport News, an at
tack is made In an underhanded
way, on the LEADER concerning
the publication Of last years delin-
quent tax list, AS far as "Equitas'
is concerned we would simply say
that life is too short to chase off af.
ter every dirty sneaking cur in hu+
man form that is both ashamed or
afraid to make charges over his own
name. But just a word to the edi-
tor Of the Newport News. The new
county court was in session at the
time you published the sneaking
article referred to; why did you not
bring the matter before them in an
honest, open way, either in person
or on your own responsibility? The
court is composed, we believe, Of
three honest and fair-rninded gem
tlemen, and you would have been
accorded a respectful hearing, and
if you could have shown any merit
in your charges, we do not hesitate
to say that the court would have
taken action in the matter, The
court meets again in October, and
we will be glad to have you come
before the court like a man and
make the charges, if you have any
to make, on your own responsible
: ty. If you will do this we will pay
your fare both ways and your hotel
bill while here. We are not. afraid
or ashamed to submit any bill that
has ever been allowed us III Lincoln
= county to the present court for re-
view. But you wont appear and
make your charges like man.
You will persist, like miserable
t coyote, in whining, and sneaking
+ and snarling over and by some as
f sumed name. You have been
r afraid to say word on your own
! responsibility since Mr.. J. o.
e Stearns like to scared the life out oI

The 0. P. Extension.

John DAILY is in receipt of a letter
from a San Francisco capitalist and
business man which is to the effect
that as soon as the right-of-way for
the proposed extension of the rail
road is gotten from out of the 0.
P. muddle and got into such shape
that it can be independently hand
led, the capital is ready to build the
proposed extension of the railroad
and to complete the wagon road.
So the only thing that stands in the
way of the enterprise is the one
thing, to get the o, p. claws off of
it. 1t is GENERALLY understood that
Judge Fullerton viii make any
reasonable order asked of him in
relation to the matter, but the
trouble will lie in the fact the whole
Oregon Pacific case is in such
horrible muddle that it is very
doubtful if the court can make au
order of any value in the matter
that would stand, The only re-
course, 10 our mind, would be a
suit to declare forfeited the claims
of the o. P. upon any ground or
right-of-way which they are not
occupying. They should not be
allowed to hold valuable franchises
when they cannot do anything with
them and thus prevent any one else
from doing that which the country
stands so much in need Of II any
company or corporation wants to
build and connect with Eastern
Oregon, the old defunct O. Z,
should not be permitted to prevent
them by holding dead franchises,

Government Railroads,

One result of the recent railroad
strike will be to convince many
heretofore slcptical persons that it
will be necessary to put all rail
ways under national control. This
subject has come up often Of recent
years, and has gradually gained
ground. On general principals it
is not a good idea, but the strike
was so senseless, that it may well
alarm thoughtful men. There are
in this country nearly one million
railway employees, which is about
one-thirteenth Of the adult male
population. At least half a million
persons are employed in furnishing
materials and supplies to the rail
ways, 80 that is the largest industry
in the country outside Of agricul-
ture. The evil results of con.
certed strike at the great railway
center at Chicago has become pain
fully apparent, and something must
be done to prevent recurrence Of
such scenes. The direct length o.
railways in the country is now ovei
ISo, 900 miles. The difficulties ir
the way Of putting this Immense
business in the hands Of the Gov
ernment are great and the daugel
Of so greatly extending the Office
holding class is plain, out agitation
will surely increase. III France
! Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Rus
sia and European countries tn
railways are largely owned by tn
government and all are under il!
direct control. This works bette
than might be supposed becaus
the government undertook the worl
at the start and the system ha
grown under its direct supervision
It seems almost impossible to plac'
all the railways in this country il
direct possession of the government
but it is quite possible that,a set o
laws can be framed which will in
crease government supervision all
limit the present dangers. Phil
