THE BEE has no personal grief in

impudence in an editor who pretends
to publish a. paper representing the

the possible misfortune to the Etato of

monopoly - tools nnd political huck

A STANDING MENACE ,
Special dispatches to" THE BEE an
na uace preliminaries looking to the
ioncolidation of the Union and Cen
tral Pacific railroads. A few weeks
! 1 probably see the ratification of
the agreement entered into by the
rrunagera at their conference ia Xew
Ycrk , and the result will ba on amal
gamation of the great trans-conti-
aental rca3s , with til their branches ,
into the most powerful aud crushing
msopoly on the globe.
From ib.9 inception of these Pacific
roils with Credit Mcbiher to corrupt
the national congress into voting
princely subsidies of lands and bonds ,
to this day , when this Colossus be
et-ides the whole continent rnd levies
extortionate tithings upon American
commerce , the country hss been men-
ased with the creation of a power
greater than the American government
itsalf. Nowhere is the policy of this
gigantic monopoly felt moro than in
thj states and territories between
Omaha and San Francisco. What
makes the hard times in California to
day ? Who has absorbad tha profits
from her rich mines , fertile
grain , vineyards and orchards ?
\Vhy is it that thousands of emi
grants who have gone to the Pacific
coast in quest of homes and cmployi
mont are returning every day ? The
answer lies in the recent exhibit made
by the assessors of California. Ac
cording to that showing Leland Stan
ford , who was a poor man compara
tively before the Pacific railroad was
built , is rated at $19,000,000. Charles
Crocker , whose career as a California
capitalise began with the building of
the Central Pacific , is rated over § 19- ,
000,000. The estate of Mark Hop
kins , w"ho was ono of the syndicates
in the the Central Pacitfie , is ra'ed at
over Slo.OOOjOOO.
What of Jay Gould , Dillon and
other speculators , whose immetisa
"waalth has all been wrung out of the
,
earnings of the people ? Theio vast
sums extorted from the people have
all been absorbed under dishonest in
terpretation of chartere , while Ihe
.
i i. i
givcrnment has mortgages upon
fieeo roads amounting to over § 100 , *
OOO.OCO. By the crglnal chatter Jo
the PaciGc railroads , the'govcrnment
was the first mortgage holder , but the
aoundrels who manipulated the
Credit Mobilier secured the passage ?
of a law making the government the
second mortgage holder , and giving
the first lion 011 the roada to the
iasida ring that owns the construction
bands. With the millions amassed by '
these Pacific railroad highwaymen ,
legislatures are bought up , congress"
men fed as attorneys , judges and juries
suborned and all the branches of our
government are made subservient to
the interests and greed of railway
kinds , who rule the land with as much
imperious sway at if they wcro mon-
njn
arihs of all they survey. The Union
aad Central Pacific roads made their
junction on the tenth of May ,
18C9. In the short space of
eleven years a revolution has
been wrought in this country in
our whole railway system. Consolida
tions and peelings have taken place
everywhere. Short and competitg
lines have been .absorbed , the pooling
system has destroyed competition and
all the avenues of trade and commerce
have been monopolized by a few men.
Only a few months ago * the Union Pacific
'ali
cific and Kansas Pacific were consolidated
lire
dated , and by this atrokemillions were
put { into the pockets of Jay Gould ,
while other millions iroro taken out of
the pockets of the fpcople of Kansas ,
Colorado and Wyoming. And now
the consolidation of the cntiro system
of Jay Gould , with the gigaa ic system
of the Central Pacific , which
monopolizss the cntiro carrying trade
of the Pacific slope , caps the climax
.
of consolidations , and cannot fail to
arouse the whole country to its danger
from monopoly domination. The cor
ruption funds of the two road ? , and
jdn
all their means for enriching themselves -
selves at the expense of the people ,
w.ll now bo united. The absolute
ten
power of the Pacific corporation ;
kings will ba exercised with moro
tyranny and reckless disregard of the
hem
rights of Iho people. The American
republic will soon como face to face-
wi h the momentous issue , whether
this country is to be ruled by the people
oer
ple , for the pjoplo , or whether
,
its iitaltty is to bo sapped
and its resources absorbed by a
set of vampires who have no con
science and shrink from no measure ,
however corrupt and oppressive , to
tor.
perpetuate and increaee their power.
r.n
When the railroad kings pool and con
solidate , the people will have to pool
all minor differences , disregard all po
litical antagonisms and unite upon >
one platform that will put a limit to
the power of corporate es
aid place them under subjection as
.
piblic servants rather than as imperial
masters.

A lady who csmo over to the city in

marked that she had just visited
MM. Hancock , and ehe "never saw
a happier woman in her life. " "I

the question , madame , " said the 'ge
porter. "Why should she feel happy
when her husband has been defeated
in a contest for tha highest office in

Breaking tno Sectional Line.
Gilreaton ( ftr. ) Nows. Nor. B.
The decisiveness of the victory
gaiued by the republics party yn
Tuesday last is seen in the ready ac
quiescence of the party.suffering de
,
feat. Had tha result been close ar ai >
doubtful , the country would havocon-
tinued in a feverish Btato of excite
ment for Boiria time to dome. It is
iait
pretty evident that the country at
largo had no desito to again witness
such a crisis as attended the decision
of the contest between Hayes and i10 ;
den. It was better that the case , ono
way or the other , should ba decided
by an unmistakable verdict.
In iho conclusion that has been
reached both parties apparently feel
relief. The contest is overj the vic
tors have gained even more than they
calculated upon ; tho'vanquiahed are
disposed to forget that there has been
a contest at all. The republican vic
tory overwhelminp , and , instead
of chagrin and sullennoas , has
awakened in the defeated a spirit ofe.
loyal acquiescence in the inevitable.
It will be well for the years to come e.if
the spirit now evinced bo permitted to
continue. There is danger to the
future of the Republic in allowing
ocrro-j bjcxtlicr srx-itntfon or neglect < ,
to become chronic- and infectious.
The growth of a secret eore 13.is
sura and certain.Vrath nursed
in silence soorer or later will como to
the surface. If the lesson of the
presidentiil content just brought to a
close teaches anything , it leaches tbaf
that the south , as a section , and with
all possible exterior reinforcements ,
is in a hopeless minority. It teaches
that oectional alignment In national
politics is viciouH ia principle and
mischievous in practice. If by this i
standard the south ia hereafter to ba
gauged , then the south and the
north are really and truly mutual on-
emiea for all tinio to come. There
can ba no fraternity where the stamp
JP
of subjection is placed upon dent
weaker party. Under this treatment
the theory of' government ia changed
f-otn what ia meant by the conceded
right of a majority of all to rule. !
Sectional domination is not ma-
jerky rule. It is a ralo defined by aa
terr-torial line. It means for those
living on one Bide of the line to gov
ern , and for those on the other side
the necessity of obeying. Representation
itm
ation in one case means representation
to control ; representation in the other
means only the voice of a powerless
minority to protest against severity
tya
and beg for easy terms. A continua
tion of sectional dictation and section
al oppression must sooner or later end
in strife. The idx
cannot reasonably rx-
pect to overcome the odds against her
by auy ordinary increase of popula
tion. Un'oas the statesmen and lead
ers of all pirties. therefore , ,
ae proper to ft d lames grow
ing oiu rf tuo aa ministration
of public affairs , away from and be
yond the dangerous subject of sec
tional solidarity , future contests car
ascendancy in the national government
must be fraught with the gravest
peril to the peace of the country. atIf
the present period is deemed by the
north a period of probation for the
people of the south ; it may come to be
Inquired after a while to.v long tie
period is to last. Ageueration js now )
entering public life , both north and
south , other than that which was en
gaged upon the battlefield. To thia
new generation the past , with its
troubles and mistakes , tsis
a matter of history idle
tradition. The American people
have reason to believe in their com
mon equality , common nationality ;
and common destiny. The generation
coming to the front may not inquire
so closely into accomplished results as
the generation which is passing to the
rear. Those to follow may not exact
ly undetstand that the mistakes tof
their predecessors entailed an inherit *
anco of distrust. The part of wisdom >
plainly points to breaking the section
al lino. The hope of tha American
union lies in the most perfect frater
nization. There cm be no safety
within the union for tbo ruled and the
rulers in a condition of sectional an ,
tipathy and sectional domination.

What may bo ia store for Turkey ,
Germany or Austria indeed , for
Great Britain itself from the moment
the helm of the Russian state ship
shall be confided to the vigorous
sp
of Alexander Alexandrovich , no an
can say. The Czarowilz is a prince
cast in a very different mold from that
which shaped his weak , amiable , easi
ly-influenced sire. He
is known to entertain
tertain fixed opinions , resolves and
projects , and to adhere to "them with
all the tenacity of a singularly determ
ined and self-reiving nature. mOf
his fervent faith in the Ofm
slavistic dogma , no doubt has )
been entertained , since he came
to manhood , by those who know him
best ; and his antipathy to all German .
men and things is no less notorious
than his , sympathy . with . the . attractive . .
t f * r
qualities of the _ French nation. Ho
is believed by hia countrymen to be ,
before all elsa , a tiue and uncompro
mising Russian patriot ; to hold rein
horror the system - of peculation - . ,

the last two reigns , nnd bronght it to
the brink of ruin ; to have eet hia
face , in particular , against abuses of
their high station practiced hereto
fore with impunity by certain of his
own near relatives , and to have vowed
himself to the mission , an far as the
internal affairs of his native land are
concerned , of extirpating , root and
branch , the countless abominations
that have been tolera'ed by his father )
with what results the nihilistic move * *
ment has only too terribly demon
strated. The Russian crown prince ,
nader whatever ttilo he may atsume
( tha active governmoi-t of his imperial
'heritage , corcgent or other , is gener
ally expected to como forward as a
radical reformer at home , and as a vig
orous promoter of the Panslavistic
programme abroad. Should he realize
the anticipations t present enter
tained on his account , it is more than
probable that Russia's neighbors In
Europe and in Asia will , in the course
of a tew yeara to come , find ample
reason to regret the romantic union
that is about to lead to Alexander
Nicolaievich's renunciation of imperial
sway in favor of Alexander AUxan-
