Burlington Is Out of Reach.
BURLINGTON , la. , March 19 Inquiry
at the office of the Burlington road
elicited an elaborate denial of the stories
that J. J. Hill or the Morgan-Harriman
syndicate have secured control of the
Burlington system. It was stated that
they would have to purchase $90,000,000
worth of stock to secure it and that there
are but So.ooo shares floating on the
market , the rest of the shares being held
by persons who would require consider
able more than the market price to sell.
Not After the Burlington.
NEW YORK , March 19 President
James J. Hill of the Great Northern rail
road , who is at the Hotel Netherland in
this city , denies positively that he is
seeking the control of the Burlington
system ,
"It IS iiot true , " Mr. Hill said , "that
the Great Northern with the Northern
Pacific has either purchased a controll
ing interest in the Chicago , Burlington
& Quincy railroad or that we have nego
tiated a lease of that road. ' We have
secured no interest in Burlington stock
through Mr. Morgan or Mr. Harriman.
We are attending to our own business in
our own way and find that the success
ful management of one railroad can
keep us busy. "

Bequests of the 1 9th Century.
Dr. Theodore S. Cuyler presents in
3 unique form some thing ! * left by tlie lust
J century to the care and culture of the
1 present century as follows :
"I , the Nineteenth century , about to
die of old age and being of sound mind
and memory , do make ami ordain this
to be my last will and testament. I
commit and entrust to the United Stale *
of America all that people , known a *
negro freedmen whom I have emanci
pated by the hand of my favorite son ,
Abraham Lincoln , and who died that all
their rights be carefully guarded and all
their children educated in good schools
and fitted for self iiiaiiitainance. Like
wise I entrust to the said United States
of America all the surviving Indians and
the inhabitants of newly acquired pos
sessions I also bequeath to my heir , the
Twentieth century , all the missionary
societies and numerous benevolent asso
ciations to whom I have given birth ; all
the asylums , homes anil hospitals and
the charitable institutions that I have
built for the relief of honest sufferers
and the discouragement of idlers and
imposters. "
This last will and testament made to
the Twentieth century may fail of being
duly probated. Other interests may
press for priority and what is properly
paramount may be for want of due con
sideration and instant attention left to
die. It is now manifest that while in
the late war , the nation was all absorbed
in saving its own life , intemperance
and the liquor traffic meanwhile made
gigantic developments. "While men
slept the enemy came and sowed tares
among the wheat and went his way. "
This secrecy of movement is perhaps the !
key to the existence of evils which ever }
a e has to combat , our own no less than
our predecessor's. Now whileattention
of the nation is engaged with Cuba and
the Philippine Islands , are we not in
danger of overlooking our responsibili
ties and obligations devolved upon us
as the heirs of the Nineteenth century ?
Have we not been warned of the dangers
of imperialism abroad and that by the
very men who are seeking its establish
ment in our own countr ) ? What means
the COWanUy and despicable curtailment \
of negro suffrage in the southern states ? I
but a practical not an ideal attack up
on the very life of our government , upon
what differentiates it from a monarchy ,
or au empire and makes it arertihlic
the free suffrage of all its citizens.
Shall we with eyes straining to see wh'at <
is going on over the sea , be blind to the
evils that within our own United States
have commenced the very mischief at
home that is so liberally denounced as
to what is abroad. While many evils
are permitted to spring as the grass and
when the workers of iniquity are per
mitted to flourish , yet it remains now as t
ever that they may be destroyed , while
those who opposed those evils and an
tagonized their wicked operators are the
only ones that are saved. IT
The present pressing question is , shall
we upon whom rests the responsibilities
of the Twentieth century be true to our
God-given word ? Shall we remember
those who are thus held in the bonds of
oppression and southern imperialism ?
Shall we plead rights now denied them ?
Shall we remember those that remember
us when in danger of losing our own
liberties , and even laid down their lives
to save ours or shall we endorse their
oppressors by letting them under the
plea of "state's rights" use the power of
states against the very end for which the
state was constituted to secure life
liberty and pursuit of happiness under , C
not an imperial , but a republican form of
government ? What answer should we
now make to the above ? GT.YNES.
No Changes in Control. A
NEW YORK , March 19. The Evening
Post says : The rise in Burlington's
shares continued today without actual
developments to account for the heavy
advance in the stock. A well-informed
authority in Burlington affairs said to
day that there is no longer reason to be
lieve any change will be effected in the in
dependent status of the property , or that is
there will be any change in control.
One consequence of the episode of the
past few months is thought likely to be
less aggressiveness in extensions by the c
Burlington. It will be given every fac
ility , for instance , to reach the coast by
existing routes , but any effort to reach
the Pacific coast by new construction
would arouse antagonisms on the part of
large financial interests , which might
end in the ' into
Burlington's passing new t.
control. As the situation has noxv de1 1
veloped , such a change is not likely.

Good Cough Medicine For Children.

Moran , a well known and popular banker , of
Petersburg ; Va. "We have given it to our

any other stomach trouble , this preparation
can't help but do you good. The most sensi
tive stomache can take it. McConnell & |
Berry. _ _ _
