CONTROLS OF RAILROADS.

Every year adds to the conviction
that a handful of New York capital
lists will soon control the railroad
systems of this vast country. The
Rockefellers have just secured con-
troll of the Union Pacific, and system
after system is dropping into strong
hands in New York city. New Eng
land is losing control of the trans
continental lines it projected and
built, and New York is gathering
them in.
AT one time foreign. capitalists
controlled many American railr ,ads,
but to-day scaroely an American
railroad is in the hands of
men in other countries. What the
foreigner have parted with New
York, as 2 rule, has acquired. The
VanderbiEts, the Standard Oil inter
ests, the GouIds, Mr.. Hartman and
about a dozen other New York men
control every important system in
AAS SOoAASA Eo3 COllttOtl-
ing the Rock Island, now live in
New York. New York does not at
present control the Pennsylvania,
but it holds 35 per cent of the stock
of that company, and an early con-
troll of that great system by New
York capitalists is considered prob
able. The Seaboad, the Southern
and the Frisco are each and all con-
troiled in New York. The Illinois
Central is also controlled there, and
the Atlantic Cost Line is probably
controlled in that town, assisted by
. Baltimore. The Atlantic Coast Line
controls the Louisville and Nash
vile.
What such a concentration of
power means in the future no one
can say. It probably means that
railroad a will cease, for New
York capitalists want above all else
dividends and a high range of share
prices. If conservatism and Justice
are predominant no objections will
arise to New York control, and adj
dltional legislation will not be de-
manded. Much depends upon the
fairness and breadth of the New
York capitalists who are absorbing
the great railroad properties of the
country.

He has patience illimitable in face of

and will be there on Mondays only.
We are always glad to see evil
dences of satisfaction and content
ment on the part of our neighbors,
but especially so in the case of
neighbor Toby Howell, who is now
better fixed in horse flesh than he
has been since he. disposed of "Pat-
~terson," the little mule, now owned
by Col. Dortch's children. His pony
is a regular game bantam, and
would exactly fill the bill, if he had
a little less >inclinatiou for a four

one or two darkeys walking the
corn pile, giving out a "holler,"a and
see the big full ears flying rapidly

addressed the school, which was

his duties.

this section. We have good gins,
but they have been rushed the en-
tire season, and a modern plant
would not only be profitable to the
owners, but would give our neigh
borhood a more progressive appear
ance to others, would enhance the
valuation of property, and invite
prospective buyers, and in many
ways would be of benefit to the

owned its own such plant, it would

progress than anything else.

BETTING ON A STRAW.

The story Of the betting in the
two victorious Cleveland campaigns
upsets the value Of such things as
straws to show which way the poll
teal wind is blowing.
In 1884 betting began at 10 to 8 in
favor OF Blaine. On November 1 the
odds had risen to 10 to g., and on
November 5 the odds on Blaine
veered to 2 to 1. On election day
money was freely placed at 800 to
$50 that Blaine would carry Connec-
ticut, even money that he would
carry New YORK, and bets of 2 to 1
were offered that he would carry
Indiana. He lost all three states,
and Cleveland vas elected. And yet
up to the last moment the odds on
Blaine stood at 2 to 1.
The betting in New York stood on
October 20, 1892. a. 5 to 4 in favor of
Harrison. Thirteen days later Cleve-
land secured PIT electoral votes to
Harrison's 145. At no time during
the campaign was the betting in
favor of Cleveland. Odds on Harri-
O ran high at one time, and the
betting never fell to even during the
campaign.
Those who are watching the fake
betting of The present campaign
should recall those facts Whit arc a
part of our POLITICAL history.

The Fruits Of licensed Saloons.

down the street on Christmas Day,
the day on which there is supposed to
be "peace on earth, good will to
men," man staggered out OF q ga.
loon so drunk that child could east.
~ have pushed him over. Two ugly
gashes were cut in his face, one above
the eye, and one just below the eye,
aud the hood was sire aiming down bis
face. He called us to him, and as We
followed him to the door of the 50.
loon, he pointed out the man who ad.
mitted to have struck the blow which
caused the wounds. He gave as his
reason for the assault that the man,
who was 80 drunk as not to know
what he was doing, had called him
names, which he "would allow no one
to call him. Two crimes were com.
mitted, one by the man who was az.
saulted, in becoming drunk, the other,
which must be admitted by all RICH,
thinking people to be ten times the
worst Of the two, by the man who made
the assault upon one who was not able
to himself. Eternal vigilance on the

tons between the garrison and the
French inhabitants when the roar of
Alice's big mouthed pistol startled
them. Helm was slyly beating about
to make Hamilton lose sight of the
danger from Clark's direction To do
this he artfully magni1ed the lnsidious
work that might be done by the French
and their Indian friends should they
be driven to desperation by oppressive
or exasperating action on the part of
the English.
Hamilton felt the dangerous uncer-
tainty upon which the situation rested,
but, like many another vigorously self
reliant man. he could not subordinate
his passions to the dictates Of policy.
When Alice was conducted into his
presence he instantly swelled with
anger 1t was her father who h=d
struck him and escaped; it was she
who had carried off the rebel flag at
the moment Of victory.

and made an inimitable French gesture
with her shoulders and arms "You

Hamilton was astounded. Helm sat
staring phlegmatically. Meantime Bev-
erley entered the room and stopped, hat
In hand, behind Alice. He was flushed
and evidently excited In fact, he had
heard of the trouble with Farnsworlh
and, seeing Alice enter the door of
Hamiiton's quarters, he followed her
In. his heart stirred by no slight emo.
ton. He met the governors glare and
parted 1t with one of equal haughti-
ness. The veins on his forehead swelled
and turned dark. He was in mood to
do whatever desperate act should sug
gest itself. "
When Hamilton fairly comprehended
the message so graphically presented by
Alice he rose from his seat by the fire
