THT New York Times la ably sus taining iti reputation as the great re publican journal of the country. It ia not only fully abreast of public opinion , bat leads the most advanced thought of the day. A * an advocate of the people's right to rule the crun- try , and as the opponent of railroad oppreeiion , the Timti ia doing noble work in the great metropolis and throughout the east. Its news are the latest and moit reliable , and as a vigorous and independent journal it amply deserrce its position and finan cial success. TH Deadwood frew evidently has aot joined the Hitchcock Literary Bureau. Hero is its opinion of the redoubtable rip-rapper : ( TheSlonx City Journal eaya The Omaha Republican , of which ex- Senator Hitchcoct ifj said to be one of the largest owners , and the treat- em bureau of The Chicago Inter- Ooean , located at Omaha and in Tne Republican office , have been diligent in tuggesting ex Senator Hitchcock as the man , above other men , who should be called by General Garfield to administer the affair * of the in terior department. The admirers of Hitchcock ig confined to these papeie , and hit chances for the appointment are very meagre. He is notoriously one of the most corrupt politiciaun in the west , a man of ordinary ability , and bis appointment to a cabinet position would atones ox- citp the distrust and suspicion of the country. Intellectually , he is weak an < * vtry ordinary , and morally , ha i below the average. There ia 110 like- lihuod of hia being offered euch placj , and the talk is trobably for ef fect , and as a meaua ta secure some other subordinate position. Oca esteemed ' ' corning contemr-o * raries have engaged in deadly conibat oner the subject of journalistic pilfer ing. The J pMican devotes n col umn of ita latest edition to an oxpot are of the Htrald'e indebtedneB to the New York &un , while the Utrald retaliates by a general charge on the oneray'a fortifications. In the veiy isauc in which the honest editor of the Douglas street concern exposes the work of the sheara on the Utrald , we find no leas than , four leaded paragraphs , the only ones in which there is th slightest pith or point , which are deliberately stolen from exchanges and palmed i ff on the Republican' * readers as original. W refer to the atale joke on "founded and foundered , " which was first uaed eight years ago by Chas. Dana in re ferring to the New York Tribune ; the paragraph about mud and "covering the ground" which has been current for three weeks past in ihs Bockland Courier , Burlineton J2aicA iand / Normlown Btreld , the item about Gladstone and the Irish liberal ; , and the comparison between the editor of the Herald and a church debt , which appeared nearly a month ago in the Danbnry 2\Tcic $ . Now it seems to us that the Republican which depends more on ita excharge list and a volume cf Macaulay's essays for its editorial' , th&n on the brains of its editors , should be the last per son to throw stones from its glass house at ile rooming contemporary. THE COAL FAMINE. The Union ' J'acifio railroad company ban A monopoly of the cod business along ita line ? . It not only is the solo and only carrier of the bituminous coal used by the people of Nebraska and Wyoming , but it otrns and oper ate ) all the mines from which our people are forced to look for their coal supply. A number of years ago the attempt was made by private par ties to open and maintain coal mines in Wyoming from which to supply the public. The great monopoly inetntly cruehtd these enterprises out of existence by charging euch an extortionate rate of transportation that competition was Si SiD irnpa'S.ble. It then took possession D of the mines along its road , and lia * 0 since that time had the people cf Ne 0ai braska and Wyoming completely at its aidi mercy. During the laht two months it h s found itself unable to supply the ir people of the west with fuel tlt sufficient for their wants.Coal fam t ( ines have in consequence resulted in ra UUh , Wyoming and Nebraska , and cc gre.it suffering hu attauded them. Not'witbstandinj this fact , a few weeks since when the Li , peoplu of Salt cli Like endeavored to ca > iit a oomp ting - ing railro d fr m t"hat city to Ooal- ville , UUh , the whole power of the Pr Union Pacific wai instantly exerted iane to crash out of existence the little ne competitor , and every potty incon venience wai thrown in the road of the Utah Eastern in order to prevent , the deliverance of the people of Utah 1tr' from monopoly rule. During November , the three coalP5 mining towns along the line of the. c\ . Union Pacific , produced 40,009 , tons wil of bituminous coal. Of this amount , the road itself consumed 81,000 tons , leaving only 9OCO tons to supply the territory through wh'ch it passes , and which W B sntiroly at its mercy for re lief from the rigorc of the inclement weather. This state of affairs calls for nation al legislation. Biilroads should ce rigidly htld ta their proper functions u common carriers. They should be compelled to take whatever freight ia offered them and forced to transport it at reasonable rates to its destination. If the Union Pacific can r-fford to mine and transport & tnn of Hock Springs coal to Omaha and sell it at its yards for $8 , it can afford to carry coal for minors at a rate equal at least to the difference between the ccst of producing and a fair margin for profit , and the eum at which it is placed for sale in Omaha. Such an outrageous and flagrant disregard of public rights as the breaking of the W rdell contract ! , in which the ehameful duplicity of a confidential clerk was taken advantage of by the Union Pacific to deprive of hia property an enterprising , practical coal miner , who had cxpsndcd several hundreds ot thousands of dollars in devaloping the Hock Springs mine ? , should never bo permitted under our laws. The Union Pacific road waa chartered as a transportation compa ny , not as a monopoly to transact a general commercial business. They should bo hald down to their legiti mate calling and prohibited from driv ing from the country every enterprise which conflicts with their scemos cf personal aggrandizement. Railroad * * nd State , On the whole wo are not certain but the public is to bo felicitated rather than commiserated on the re fusal of the Philadelphia , Wilmington < t Baltimore railroad to do carrying business for tha- Baltimore & Ohio lines. As we said yesterday , that s'cp willprobablyjleai to the bnilding of a new road between Baltimore and Philadelphia , and thus open dompat- ing lines all the way from Washington to New York , as theie ought to be. The outrage is so fligrant that if pri vate enterprise is not able to overcome the obstacles which may bo placed in the way of this consummation , con gress will meat likely bo called upsn , and * ill doubtless be r edy , to to such aid &s may be necessary. And this Is what it most come to , sooner or later , not only in reference to this line , but in reference to many other great monopolies in the coun try. The managers of our monster corporations have become BO reckless and defiant in the exercise of the dan gerous powers they have gained that they no longer have any regard for public convenience or public rights. It therefore becomes only a qncstion of time when congress shall step in , as the representative of the people and and recover tteir now half-surrender- ed prerogatives. The tax-paying citi- z ° n of tha United States will not , when the issue is fairly presented , nd- it fur a moment any euch noneenso i tha idea that the creature ia creator han the creator. And that is the docj , ino that the xnorirpSlists of to-d y are practising , whatever their subsi dized agents and attorneys may preach. OCCIDENTAL , JOTTINGS. Wyoming1.
