Government Ownership.

1t Is probable that the government
will have to take the Union Pacific and
other Pacific roads under foreclosure in
order to save itself as surety for the
companies. AS shown by the message
OF the president, millions of dollars Of
bonds of those properties, for which the
government is bound in case the COM
panies fail to take them up, fall due on
Jan. l, 81, and something will be done
at last towards an adjustment of this
enormous debt. because something must
be done. The roads are too poor. They
can't pay. Hence we must. Ii this
were the entire proposition the people
of the United States would accept the
burden without murmur. But, while
the roads are too poor TO pay, the men
Tor the heirs of the mem who had the
roads ut one time are themselves able
to pay the whole debt For several
years the Union Pacific paid per cent
dividend on its stock, making no pro
vision whatever for its debt. Its stock
went above par. Trust funds were in
vested in it. The country accepted this
opportunity to share in a good thing
aud the insiders unloaded the worthless
stock, even then bankrupt, upon a
guileless world, that at present eithel
has the certificates or has q painful
memory Of the loss they caused. Some
thing must be done with the roads. ant

One thing is certain: 1t will not do to
fool with bad cold. No one can tell
what the end will be. Pneumonia, ca
tarrh, chronic bronchitis, il not con-
sumption, invariably result from neg
lected cold. 1t is surprising, too, that
bad colds are so often neglected when
one remembers how easily and at what
little expense they may be cured. Cham

prompt and effectual, and costs but a

George Stowe, Charles Williams and
Others have staked OF a number Of
claims in the Wolf Lodge district east
of town and specimens Of quartz from
the claims make a very promising
showing. The lodges are well defined
and specimens from the district show a
class of ore heretofore unknown In this
section. The ore is the same as that
from Trail Creek. Assays have beer
made showing over $50 in gold and one
OF the lodges is several feet wide. So
far nothing has been done beyond the

MUNICIPAL REFORM.

The most inefficient, the most eKtray.
agant and unsatisfactory municipal gov
ernmeuts of any country in the world
are those Of the cities and towns OF
America Everybody comedies this.
With fair to good times the people sub
nit to the loose abuses, but now that
dollars are scarce there is an evident
determination everywhere throughout
American cities. a determination 10
raise the public service of cities up to a
decent and more economical plane.
Even such towns as Kansas City, a
town where all kinds of wickedness
have been encouraged for the sake of
their drawing qualities, movement is
on foot for reform. There is not a city
in the country in which the papers are
not demanding a higher grade Of de-
cency and a more economical admins
tration. Among other indications Of the
lively interest being taken by the peo-
pie, a national municipal league has
been organized which is publishing pa
pers from able and experienced men on
the subject Of city government. In
almost every city there are orsaniza-
tons or individuals to be found urging
on the proposed reforms. No cities in
America stand in greater need Of re-
lief than those of Kansas. If it cost as
much, relatively, to run the nation as it
costs to run Kansas municipality the
people would be bankrupted. Every
thing being at the lowest and most in
efficient level is yet run on the most eK-
travagant scale. The offices are multi
tudinous. Ii is held that enlightenment
must first come before determinations can
be hoped for. We do not believe any
such thing. Were not everybody al
ready convinced of such possibility the
pinch of experience, the prod of necessi-
ty, has awakened them. In eight cities
cut of ten it is maladministration, cor
ruption, Doodle and unwarranted ex-
pense from start to finish. The trouble
is not so much the politician as the peo-
pie themselves. The average official will
agree that there is. unnecessary extrav
agance everywhere almost, but it is not
the official; it is the system under which
he is compelled TO serve. The first de-
mand of all is economy. the next hon.
esty, and lastly business methods. The
public meetings being held in cities
throughout the land is a most encour-
aging sign that the time is coming when
one can live in a town without being
robbed.
