Levying Tribute.
To the Editor of The Star.


Judging from the remarks OF Commits
sloners West and mcfarland regarding
the proposition OF the steam railroads 10
levy tribute upon our people and all who
visit Washington, it seems that there is a
strong disposition to lock the stable door
after the steed has been stolen.
When the late Frank Hume, Judge
Giesey, Joseph Bradfield. myself and
others were fighting the Ubiquitous Iegis-
lation which gave to these railroads not
only millions of the peoples money. but a
monopoly of the traffic of this CITY the
Commissioners and the majority OF the
Board of Trade and all the SPECTATORS in
town were on the side of the railroads
We regarded that legislation as a virtual
sale of this city and its people to private
corporations. We believed it to be un-
constitutional, and l fought 1t through all
the courts on that ground. But the
courts decided not only that II was con-
stltutional. but that it was. in effect, "a
deed of bargain and SALE a contract
which could not be abrogated or modified
without the consent of the railroads them
selves. Under this strange deed of bar
gain and sale, as the courts call IT, the
railroad companies certainly have the
legal, If not the moral right to levy the
blackmail which they now propose to
levy. That is the very essence of the
contract. And being solemn written
contract neither congress nor the inter-
state commerce commission nor the courts
can afford any relief against its opera
ton. however onerous, unless, indeed
Congress should repudiate its own con-
tract For, as l have said, this legislation
has already been adjudicated and has
been pronounced by the Supreme Court
of the United States a contract, or deed,
of bargain and sale What was sold by
it? Not only 81 100000 worth OF our prop
erty, but franchises worth SO, 900 600. and
these franchises carry with them the right
of the purchasers to lay tribute on this
city and all who visit it forever

The Carliu Placer Strike.

According to information brought
here by parties from Carlin, the placer
strike in the Maggie Greek district,
which caused a stampede last week, is
quite rich in its first showings and
may prove a permanent center. The
first gold was found in the plac-
ers of Maggie Creek, but already this
has been traced to its origin in num-
erous small lodges on both sides of the
creek which are interested by Others
running at right angles. These lodges
are small, but very rich in gold, and
is said to lie between a contact OF
and lime. The placer diggings
show values running from 80 to 81
cents to the pan.
