Jav GOULD, the wizard of Wall :ritreet, is said to contemplate the consolidation of four of the largest jrailway companies in the country. "31c is said to have arranged for op erating the Atchison, Topeka & .Santa Fe, Union Pacific, ?lissotiri Jacific and Southern Pacific all 1111 ler one management. One thing is nrery evident if such a gigantic sys tem of railways could be success ifull' operated by one man, Jay 'Csould is the one above all others to 3o it. The most valuable possessions left by General Sherman :ire slip -josed to he his war memoirs, which -will soon be published as the "Life Mf General Sherman," which will, it 39 believed, yield a large sum. It - -will, of course, cover the entire his lory of the late civil war and will contain personal correspondence -written during the campaigns never Ijefore made public. Shortly before jhis death General Sherman placed liis memoirs in the hands of Charles U. "Webster & Co. A cheap edition xi the memoirs is now in press con taining an appendix written by Sec xetary James G. Blaine. Thispopu Jar edition will contain about 900 pages and will be handsomely illus trated with steel plates of General Sherman and other officers, and war maps showing the plan of cam aigns directed by General Sher man. The edition will be sold at n copy. The average democratic states man not content with advocating JJritish interests as against his own country on the tariff, but he must ieeds be constantly guarding the interests of Great Britain in other .matters. Whether it be on account of the handsome sum of money fur rtiished by these foreigners to carry on the democratic campaigns, or simple love and admiration for aliens is unknown. The latest out break of this popular democratic eritiiiient occurred in the United States Senate this week when the Nicaragua Canal measure was up .Sor discussion. The canal measure ris a bill that will authorize the gov ernment to assist in the construc tion of the Nicaragua Canal, which -will furnish an important water-way 3etween the Atlantic and Pacific. The bill under consideration pro joses that the government shall jruarantee the bonds of the com any that holds the concessions Jroin Nicaragua and Costa Rica, in order to enable it to raise the neces sary money without resorting to Ku rxopean capitalists, as it is desirable that the canal should be under .American control. There is a pro vision in the bill to the effect that the secretary of the United States Treasury shall hold seven-tenths of the stock of the company, in order to procure the repayment of any money that the govern meiit may 'have to pay out in consequence of guaranteeing fiu- payment of the company's i.M!s. 11 is ai?-o pro vided iii.ii Si:e have the opt scribing for any ..Ok-er.iiiicnt sliall 1 : r, j ; ; ()T- ;-ijl-part of tlie stocks lield by the m emi)oVeri'(l to lis i try, congress H j;i avail itself of tin's oj tiou at any time anature.

He claims , to fear a war with Knglaud as a re ! suit of the passage of this bill, al i though Knglaud has not rcmonst rn ' ted except through its paid demo j cratic henchmen. W hat are the ! facts about tliis famous treat' that j was male bjr tin- democratic party in I.).- jh usual everything in sight was bartered away by this party that has never done anything I patriotic; and Kngland got what she wanted. Here are some of the terms of that treaty: It provided that neither Kngland nor the United States should ever obtain or maintain exel usive control over any ship canal that might be built in Nicaragua, and it was fur ther provided that neither countries should "erect or maintain any forti fications commanding the same or in the vicinity thereof, or occupy or fortify or colonize or assume to ex ercise any dominion over Nicaragua Costa Rica, the Moscpiito Coast, or any part of Central America." The lirst opportunity Kngland had to ignore the treaty, she did so by colonizing Belize and Honduras, and by fortifying the Mosquito Coast. It would indeed be a nice position for GreatBritain.toassume that we should abide by and live up to an agreement which she ignores. No patriotic American would ask it either. But it is peculiarly fitting that the democratic leader in the United States Senate should take the side of Kngland and argue against his own country. His posi tion is one that should make the face of every honest patriot tingle with shame. And to think that a party whose leaders are so untrue to our government woidd he trusted far enough to have a majority in the next congress is more than surpris ing. Kvery democrat in congress did himself especial honor by voting against a resolution offered by Mc Kinley indorsing the infamous rul ings of Boss Reed. Under ordinary circumstances sucn a resolution would go through without a dis senting vote. It was the most fit ting rebuke that Reed got that not a single democrat stultified himself by voting for the resolution. l'latts mouth Journal. The great-hearted, big-brained Thomas B. Reed has much to be proud of, but he needs nothing more to commend him to the law-abiding liberty-loving people of this coun try than the fact, that he recognized the basic principle of our govern ment, which is that a majority shall rule. When the southern fire-eaters combined with the northern dough faces and expected in the face of a majority, to defeat their will they were unable to do it. Wholesome laws were enacted notwithstanding their vicious opposition, and had there been a "Tom Reed" presiding in the senate the country would have been much better off and there would have been more work done and less talking against time. .Fili bustering and legislative trickery to prevent a majority from passing desired measures, is what democrats have been led to believe is the high est degree of statesmanship. Now that the democrats are in a majority in congress we trust no republican will lower himself in either branch by adopting democratic tactics to defeat even nefarious measures; let them run the machine and assume the responsibility. THE ATLANTIC-PACIFIC RAILWAY TUNNEL. The supporters of the enterprise of driving a fve mile tunnel through the backbone of the continent, en tering the snow-capped range of the Rocky Mountains GO miles due west from Denver, Colo., and coming out on the west side near the head of Snake River, in Summit county, are entering upon the eleventh year of work, fully confident of great suc cess. More than .TOGO feet of the Atlantic-Pacific Railway tunnel have already been driven. The granite crust of the mountains on either side has been pierced, and on the east side the tunnel has been pushed to a depth of about 3200 feet. An advance of five feet per day is being made, and 3000 feet straight in from the entrance and 1S00 feet perpendicular below tho surface the men have cut through a vein of albite, eight feet in width, yielding $1S4 in gold and silver per ton of ore. Thev have also cut through a strong vein of silver and lead ore five feet in width, and yielding nearly ?200 mr ton. Kqually rich veins of mineral ore have been readied on the west side, and from outcroppings on the sur face of the mountain it is known that more than L.'"i t veins of gold, silver, copper and Jad ore will be cross cut and reached l' the tun nel. When the tunnel is completed for railway use its use will shorten the distance between IK over, Colo., and Salt Lake City by L';;0 miles. A reassuring feature of the enter prise is the fact that more of the 4.":k) persons financially interested in the undertaking are residents of Color;. !. than .: a i v oift. r .-.afc. The president of the company, Mr. M. M. I'omeroy, better known as Uriel;'' I'omeroy, to whose efficient management is tine the admirable condition of the company's affairs, is located in this city, with hisollice in the I'ulit.er building. No safer investment could be found than the stock and first mort gage bonds of this company. Its property, valued at four million dollars, is fully paid for, and every interest obi igat ion has been prompt ly met. Kx ROYALTY AT WORK. The daughters of the Princess Wales, says Kady Kli.abeth Hilary in the Jadies' Home Journal, are sensibjy educated. They know how to sew so well that they can make their own gowns, and their knowl edge ot every art taught them is thorough. They can go into the kitchen and cook cook well; they understand the art of bread-making ing, and if they were ever thrown upon their own resources would be able to take care of themselves And this has been done not only as an example to other mothers in the kingdom, but because her Royal Highness thought it right for her daughters. I wonder how many daughters of American gentlewo men could make butter, sew, paint are good musicians, have a knowl edge of sculpture and can read and speak three or four languages? And yet this is true of the daughters of the Princess of Wales, who was her self, while thoroughly educated taught all the industries that would be a part of the knowledge of daughter of ordinary gentlefolk Sweet-faced, healthy-looking jfirls they are always gowned in the most simple manner and work at their books and with pencil and needle in a way that would shame the daughter of many a tradesman who ought to thoroughly understand everything that is really woman's work. HlLE the senate commute on contingent expenses is inquiring in to the effect of the McKinley law on prices it should drop around to Joliet, 111., where 1,000 men have just been thrown into tnuehinte idleness by the closing down of the rolling mills, Omaha orld-tlerald. Probably that item would not have been written had the W.-H known that the McKinley bill re duced the tariff on every article produced by the mill in question But really, life is too short to make it possible to correct all the tariff breaks made by the witnesses and political amateurs who contribute to the fourth page of that paper the Journal gives up the task in profound disgust. Lincoln State Journal. FRIGHTENING CAPITAL A. WAY. Threats of Alliance Leaders, if Contin ued. Mean Universal Bankruptcy. "Universal bankruptcy will be the result of this farmers' alliance move ment, if cooler heads do not come to its rescue. All the capital in our Eastern States is becoming so frightened over the outlook that it is keeping scrupulously out of the west and northwest, and it will be but a few months more that not a dollar of cajntal will locate west of the Alleghany mountains, unless a check is put upon the foolish idea about state legislation, it was but a few years ago that any quantity of capital could be induced into the Pacific Northwest, but today we cannot get a dollar to go there, and the reason is that a fear exists as to what legislation may follow the work of the legislature." The above was spoken by Repre sentative John L. Wilson, of Wash ington State. Mr. Wilson is one of the most active, successful and pop ular men in that thriving Pacific slope state, and having for ninny years been a banker and real estate dealer, he knows whereof he speaks. Mr. Wilson continued: "As sure as little apples grow on crab-apple trees the country will be thrown iu to hopeless bankruptcy inside of eighteen months if something is not done to check the impression that is going abroad as to the legisla tion 'both by state legislatures and the national congress that is prom ised by this Farmers' Alliance move ment. The withdrawal of one-half of the foreign capital that is being used in this country will precipitate bankruptcy at any time. Koreign capital is ex tremely sensitive. We know that the English, the German and the French citizen is very wary of Amer ican investments on account of be ing bitten by railroad and mining deals. But our farm and other real estate mortgages have been so safe for foreigners that we have, up to within twelve months, had little trouble in inducing extensive loans upon our real estate. Since Kansas and some other Western states have threatened, a tax upon foreign made mortgages, making loans of all aliens pay a special tax, foreign and Eastern capital generally has become frightened, and already we find great difficulty in securing 'It is not real work of a legisla- I ture or congress that foreigners fear ; so much as the apprehension ot something which will be to their disadvantageVoid in ued Mr. Wilson "It is this menacing attitude of j communistic individuals that frightens away capital and does ' damage. I know very well that : ninety-nine out of every hundred j are earnestly opposed to these me- n ici ng' pron Zc : ! s in on; sen. a.-; are other citi Western and North- western stale:-. They know very well that it would never do to levy a tax upon loans made by citizens re- f , siding out of a state, or to offer any oppression to investments made by aliens, for it is foreign capital I mean the capital from the outside of a state, both in this country, as well as in Kurope that goes furthest toward building up our western country. They are well awareofthe iact mat there is not among our selves one-tenth ot the money to improve the country; that we must get investments from the east and Kurope; but there are among the grangers and in the independent party a lot of loud-mouthed dema gogues, who, for the purpose of making the farmers dissatisfied wiui every condition oi auairs, arc fond of establishing communistic sentiment and threatening all sorts of direful things against those who have money and send it into our country. The legitimate farmers are not the ones to be frightened at They have good horse sense and are practical. I am talking about the agitators, the professional orga nizers and demagogues, who are oent upon the destruction or our prosperity simply that they them selves may attract attention and get into political prominence To Farmers and Those Attending: Court.
