Something' about Monopolies
With tho construtioii of the Un-
ion Pacific railroad was imuigora-
a systom ef land grabbing by thoso
who aro suddenly taken with rail-
road enterprises that is calculated
to concentrate tho wealth and in-
fluence of the whole country in tho
hands of railroad raon unless the
powers of the government proso-
cuto tho steps thoy have begun in
tho annihilation of all claims which
thoso pioneor spirits profess to hold
upon tho coffers of tho public treas-
ury. Wo are not opposod to mo-
nopolies when tho tonn is properly
applied to groat and necessary en-
terprises whoroby tho people may
be benefited and capital at tho
sumo time reap its reward from in-
vestment thoroin ; but wo- do op-
poso stoaliug frauds and corrup-
tion in all the variod forma and
shapes undor which thoy severally
disguise themselves when bont
upon public ruin in oroeting
personal fortunos for thoso who
prosocuto thom aud apply
them to tho accomplishment
of their own baso purposes. Wo
would be glad to have a railroad
running through every county ir
tho Union and lo know that the
dividonds declarod from each were
simply magnificent but we would
rather havo the wagon systom to
continue thau that tho cities towns
counties and States through which
they run should build them for tho
benefit of individuals and tax
thomselves and sucneoding gonora
tions foreverwith untold burdens to
consummato tho financial glory of a
fewmon.Nearlyalltho roads which
havo been constrnclod sinco tho
war throughout this whole country
has been built by what is known ns
subsidy. Thoir projectors first log-
roll Congress and gotall the grants
they can proouro and sometimes
Congressmen take a little stock in
consideration of thoir voto as was
tho case In tho Mobilier frauds-
then thoy repair to tho Stato Logis-
hitures and got all tho subsides
they can from this source and then
for ready cash to bogin with they
inflame the people with ardent
hopes and sot the little towns and
villages to bidding against each
other for the purpose of becoming
station points along thoso stupen-
dous lines of iniquity which should
all bo continuod into some bottom-
less ocean and thoir owners started
to the terminal point. Monopoly
proporly appliod to enterprises in-
volving public convenience is tho
delegation of tho right to do a
thing but not to first accomplish
tho object and then grant both right
and it to the monopolists. When
Statos give rights to build railroads
that is all thoy should give and then
thoso who reap tho exclusive privi-
logo of enjoying tho profits of such
rights should be content to invest
their own money in tho construe-
tion of tho works which would thus
bo theirs in an honostand legitimate
way. We are glad to say to our
readers that in this State land
subsidies bavo "played out." Our
legislature is willing to grant a
railroad charter to any company of
solvont mon who may apply for ono
but it will go no farther in tho en-
couragement of thoso great inter-
ests about which railroad owners
harp so constantly and loudly. We
have hoard thorn proclaim them-
selves publio bonofactors aud
point with tho most complacont
satisfaction to tno roaas mcy mm
huiltwith the pooplo's money to
prove thoir declarations. Wo don't
like this sort of piniantnropy auu
wo rejoice that our legislature has
decided to build no more raiiroaus
tor a few men to foaat and futtoa
tinon the t)ur!ns of aa4 booon o
indignant if a 6hippoi. who aided
with his money in building it
should complain of bad manage
ment in tho delivery of his freights.

She was oue of two ol.ildreu of a )oor
Iialiou woman whose little all had been
used in defraying the expouses of a litlle
illness brief In duration but quite long
enough lo render her literally "without a
cent."
This woman andher children had passed
Christmas eve huddled arouud a scanty
tire in I lie slove of a bar-room in the neigh-
borhood whose proprietor let her '.stay
round'' the fire because she had no where
to go till midnight. Then when tho place
olosed for the night the woman and her
two ehildrcu slunk awny and tried to keep
from freezing in the doorway of an old
houso in the neighborhood where they
wero found about 3 o'clock on Chrisemns

Corruption in xiik Body Politic.
Corruption in the affairs of the Govern-
ment seems to be spreading like the small
pox in some eastern cities. Besides the
Credit Mobilier abomination the various
laud grab jobs in Congress the develop-
ments in New York oity the elcotion of a
United States Senator from Kansas and
the live and ten thousand dollar checks in
connection therewith we have now calls
for investigation in the manner of the
elcotion of a United Slates Senator from
Missouri and one from Nevada each of
whom it is alleged owes his succoss to the
distribution of large sums of money among
members of the Legislature the figure in
the case of the Nevada Seuator elect
reaching it ie said the snug amount of
three hundred thousand dollars. Verily
this is an era of corruption and the
searching brooms of investigating com-
mittees ought to make clean sweeps all
round.
In the case of Senator Caldwell of Ken-
ans the evidence that he purchased his
seat in the United Slates Seuate by a free
and unscrupulous use of money Is conclu-
sive. There is something revolting in
coarseness with which the bribery and cor-
ruption were conducted. The bargaius
for voles and influence were made with as
litlle delioaoy and as litlle attempt at con-
cealment as would bo displayed by two
Texas drovers haggling ovor so many head
of cattle Yet the radical papers can dis-
cover no oflensiveness iu the transaction
and are only calculating upon the political
efi'cet that would follow the expulsion of
Caldwell from a body two-thirds of whose
members owe their positions to the same
lullueuces that were used to secure the
success of this Kansas Senator. Shreve-

Fatal Siiootino. On Sunday evening
Inst about dark a difficulty ocoured at
Poletown in thia county which resulted in
the killing of Mr. Kd. Murray and the
probably fatal wounding of Jatrfns Lidon
by two brothers named Abbllt. From the
best information we can get the parties
had a difficulty on Friday night previous
at a party. The parties who did the
shooting are still at large.' Much credit
is dm our sheriff Mr. Parker and his
deputy Mr. 0111 for their untiring effort!
to arrest the perpetrators of the deed.

Nowhere is well-bred courtesy er the
lack ot it more observable than in travel-

the quiet observer easily doteots those who
are educated under refined intluenoesor
those who without speoial cultivation
are possessed of native politeness. It is
not education alono nor wealth nor high
social position nor costly trapping that
makes one a pleasant travelling compan-
ion. There must exist a kindness of feel-
ing toward strangers a general recogni-
tion of equal rights in the oomforts and
conveniences provided for the public and
a quickened discernment for the needs of
others. The gentloman who spreads out
his luggage on a couple of seats in the
cars and persistently reads his newspa-
per determinately uuoonscious that oth-
ers who have paid as much as ho has are
looking in vain for a scat is as truly ill.

is told of a firm blasting rook:in the Mis
sissippi river that bought a very litlle of it.
They were afraid to bury or explode or
move it for fear the rascally thing would
go off and send them all lo the reigons of
space. They finally lowered it into tne
river where as water does not hurt it
it rests to explode at the touch of some
passing vessel or movemeut of an object

That dualine will make a sensation some

Buried Alive-A Horrible Story From
oavounaa.
The Savannah Advertiser relates the '
following :
Un Tuesday ef last week clored man
died (or wag supposed to have died) and
great lamentation was made over his body
by the relatives and friends. The oorpse
was lal'l out the liiuba composed the eyei
Closed and the features were exceedingly
natural As is sometimes the custom so-
called mournors were provided with food
uou intoxicating liquor which they plied
themselves with until surfeit and drunk.
Noisy tud indecorous demonstrations of
grtet were made until the third day (Sat-
urday) when the brotbor of the suprosed
eorpse became incensed at the disgraceful
proceeding and determined to bury it at
once.
The other folks remonstrated and de
clared that the body was yet warm and
perhaps not dead. But he insisted as he
said bocause he would prefer to bury it
than have a continuanoe of the shooking
demonstration!. Accordingly his remains
wero deposited temporarily in a roooiving
vault.
Thursday the vault was opened and the
oollin brought out for permanent burial .
ebowhere when it was noticed that the
strong sorews whioh had been tightly
driven in three days previously . wer
strained ana the top of the oomn pried
half open.
Tremblingly and with the most dread
ful anticipations the box was opened and
horrible most horrible to relate the body
was round to be turned and twistod over
tho face downward one hand olutohing
tho liuir or the head Uie olhor reaching
out with the nails driven Into theiwood:
the teeth olutched the eyes glazed and
distended and even tho toot giving evi
dence of having boon used in the last .
hopeless and frightful effort to escape suf
focation.
These are the facts as narrated. The
name of the victim was Andrew Dow.
The plea of insanity in criminal oases it
likely lo fare bad iu Illinois. It does not
matter much to the ortintnal however as
at the present day to use a hamely phrase
the lawyers know many tricks that are
worth two of that. Insanity may serve
at. occasion but it is not the reliauoe it
was in olden tiinos. ; Illinois is therefore '

winter but we have recently eouversed
witli persons from tho several surround- -'
ingcouuties who estimate the loss at fully
oue third of the entire Hook possibly .
more li the thousands of Hides already
taken from carcasses on tne prairies to
say uothing of many more thousands that
have escaped the notios of the "skinners"
and which have beon lost to the leather .
trade be any criterion then the above
estimate may be regarded as about oorreot.

The Louisville Ledger says "Indiana s
Is convulsed from renter to oiroumstance.
A great calamity has fallen upon Iloojler- '
dom. Morton howls likes grizzly bear
