ILLISOIS Is about to deal with the
pooling 5uestion and a btil has been
iatroduced in the house of reprcsenta-
tiver , the first section of which reads
as follows :
Be It enacted by the people of tbe
state of Illinois , represented in the
general assembly , that If two or more
riilroad companies shall , either in or
out of the state of Illinois , either di
rectly or indirectly , divide the earn
ings of their respective rotd or roads ,
> r shall do what is commonly known
is "pooling" their earnings on nny
bisis or plan , on any line or lin. i < f
-ailroad operated wholly or in part in
the state of Illinois , every such rail
rJad company shall forfeit and pay a.
penalty of § 3000 for each day or frao-
'ion of a day that it shall divide its
earnings.
The other sections of the bill pro
vide the manner in whieh actions
hail be brought against the offending
parties.
Tnis is doubtless a mov * in the
li hi Direction , but r. law which slru-
l > ly prohibits pooling of earnings
tails to reach the root of the evil.
The basis of public complaints against
he rallroada exorbitant charges for
transportation services and discrimi
nation against shippers cannot be
reached by such a bill With suoh a
Uw railroad managers would simply
tike the precaution not to make pub
lic their agreements , and would
thus bo able to balk the operation
of the bill. Any railroad legislation
in order to be effective must deal with
the subject cf charges for transports-
tion , must insist upon resionible
rates and prohibit the abuses under
which shipper * are now suffering.
Pooling IB simply a plan to maintain
extortionate rates Stock watering is a
achsme to blind the public to the enor
mous amounts earned by the transpor
tation companies. With rigid , yet just
laws , against extortion and discrimin
ation , the one would be made compar
atively harmless and the other inoper
ative.
TUB spaedy passage of a strong
coercion bill in the English house of
commons seem now assured. One of
its provisions will doubtless bo the
suspension of the habeai corput act ,
and the wholesale arrests of 1871 are
likely to find a repetition. It is diffi
cult to see just what tbe liberal
ministry are likely to
gain by this measure , except
it be the strengthening of the govern-
me it's majority of the house. Any
stsp towards a permanent solution of
the la. 1 question , preceded by such a
flagrant act of injustice will meet the
hostility < f the home rulers and
fail of Eucccsj. Mr. Gladstone's
ministry hm failed in moral courage
in not mooting at the outset the de
mands of the Irish people for justice.
Granting the reports cf disorder in
Ireland , the only uiodejof permanent
relief lay in the speedy removal of
their cause. Neither Mr. Glad
stone nor his ministry were for
a moment in ignorance of thi
fact that any outbreak :
of the Irish people had their basis
the cruel injustice of a land
lord tyranny. If prompt and effective <
fectivo measures had boon taken t
giro to Ireland a system of land tenure
ure , based on liberal nnd fair prlnci
piss of tenantry , tbe necessity for cc
ercivo measures and bitter harangue
against the Irish people and the !
loidors urould long since
have ceased , and Mr. Gladston
and his ministry would have added to
their strength the hearty and enthusi
aslic support of a grateful people , I' '
seems to us that the liberal ministry
have missed a grand opportunity
which can never again bo taken ad
vantage of.

scenes and terrific snow-tildes iu the

That the reader may understand some
thing of tha situation relating to the
location of such scenes , a little de
scription of Alta City ia not out of

and looting south , one sees several
notches in the otherwise continuous
range rising thousands of feet aboVe
the Great Suit Lake Yalley. These
notches are canyons , lone ; and dtop ,
piercing the range , doii which flow
streams fed by melting snows and
spring * . Big Cottonwood and Little
Cottonwood canyons eeci only
short distance away , but they are
miles distant , the latter being nearly
twenty miles from the city. A rail
way runs to the font of this canyon
and is operated by locomotion , but up
the canyon , the tramway of ten miles is
too steep for steam , and animal power
is u ed to take up the lightly loaded
caw , which are then bent down loaded
with ore and are held back by means
of strong brakes. The canyon is nar
row , and the aides rise almost perpsn
dicular en each side , fcr thousands
of feet. The tramway is placed close
in tbe base of the hills on the north
side , and u covsred with sheds so cs
to carry the snow over in case of
slides. Near the head of the can

home of the great mines of Little
Cottonwood , such as the Emma ,

are known far and wide , because of
their great production of silver. Ma
chinery , tunnels , shafts and miners'

to live , because one is there removed
from the heat of lower altitudes , and
at night the air is so cool as to require
fire fur comfort , and the weary rest
under heavy blankets. Snow falls to
great depth ? , and the streets have to
be shovelled out to make paths for
tha citizens in move from place to
place. While it is clear and pleasant
down in the valley of the great Suit
Like , nature is piling up onow on the
high peaks of the towering Wasatch ,
and this snow , lying on the steep
sides , 13 ready to rush madly down.
A stop of a passsr-by , or a blaat of
powder down deep in the mines be
low , m&y start a slide which carries
destruction with it. Every year num
bers of hardy and bravo miners are
swept awiy by theto slides. During
the past two weeks the disasters have
been sad aud many. Alta Ci y , which
TTC.B supposed to be in a sufa position ,
has been
CEDSDED AND WEIGHTED ,
and was the witness of many apalling
scene. Nine bodies were sent down
to Salt Like atouo time for burial.
Soaao cf these , after being caught and
and engulfed in the slide , suffered
death by burning in the cabins , thus
leaving nothing but the charred un
recognized remains. Bravo miners
and citizens volunteered to dig passes
out of the debrii , and many hair-
breath escape from the fury of the
slides are reported. When we con
sider that the snow has been piled up
to a debth of three to ten feet on the
steep sides of the mountains , and
when once started , the whole mass
rushes down with increasing speed , it
ii enough to apall the bravest heart.
Thus for miles up and down , one slide
after another rushes down , filling up
the narrow canyon and in Its move
ment crashing and cirrying away
ciblns , hou'es , hoisting works and
traramaye. Many miners were caught
and imprisoned in their mines until

ABABE-FAOE13 SWItTOLE ,
The Nicaraguan Oanal Bill Now
Before Congress.
CTCLONE , Polk Co.Neb. , Jan. 21.
Toth dltr t The B .
Section 6 of the Nioarsguan Canal
bill , now pausing congress , reads thua :
Congress may at any time , havin-g dw
regard f r tht righto f said ompa y ,
alter or amend this act. "
The above last clause of the canal
bill , likely to pass congress under
sympathy of a name , is ( I believe , )
ono of the most barefaced airindles
which haa been attempted on the pub-
He since the peculations of the Credit
Mobilier with its Union Pacific
swindles.
The first pert of the bill makes the
United State ? overnrnent its guar
dian , without any remuneration. The
government fill hftve to fight its bat
tles , and protect it ( ? ) against the
entire world , and the canal to charge
whatever toll they wich.
Jay Gould's consolidation aeems to
be a well planned schema for the rail-
reads to monopolize the carrying
trade of the United States ; and , r.s
much of the world's trade as they can
force through their channels of
tribute.
American liberty is getting at a rery
low ebb when a moneyed oligarchy
can control all legislation in their own
interests } establishing a system of rail
road jurisprudence , progressive in
proportion as it favor its creators , and
dictate judicial decisions which set at
naught all precedents which might betaken
taken M examples , thereby ctiecting
the interests of the railroads.
Neither a new bridge ( ? ) nor Jay
Gould's soothing syrup bargea , will
solve the railroad problem. If the
canal gave rebates as the railroads now
do , who but theirown bargea and ves
sels could carry on canal and river
commerce the Pacific states would bo
as much at their mercy , as they are
now at the mercy of the Union Pacific
railroad.
It is not most likely the earnings of
the railroads which have been ex
torted from the American farmers
which v il ! be utod to construct the
canalj and , it baing possible to get
the canal stock in possession of the
consolidated railroads ( of which the
Union Pacific is the head ) the rail
roads should not pae ° vessels at rates
which would sacrifice their own in
terests.
Are not our logislarors moulding
the lights and shadows of 1884. A.I
the loose Irgisiatlon of the Union
PaoiSc in the past is to its present op-
presaicn , may not the loose legislation
of the prssent canal scheme be to to
future oppression , should not congress
reserve the right to regulate toll and
official salaries ? Would It not bo bet
ter to have a canal ever which rail
roads cannot dictate , oven though it
be constructed and owned by foreign
powers , and not , pervert tha peaceful
intents cf trade into a nicnauchig
threit against the Monroe doctrine.
Why was not the tricking of govern
ment out of the first mortgngo on the
Union Pacific and giving it to foreign
capitalists an infringement on the
Monroe doctrine }
It is not cslilog too ranch of the
government to keep a standing army ,
and increase our army to aid the rail
road oligarchy in their diolomatio con
quests abroad and establ shing their
tyranny at home.
That clause uf the canal bill ' 'having
dut regard , for the rights of laid con-
pauy" sounds like the rattle of a rat-
tlts-snake , warning us of the venomous
head ; of couno we will hr.vo to ex
tend our naval arms around Mexico
and draw that agreeable country to
our boaom , as Cleopatra did the a p ,
and will it not bo equally as fatal ; by
deceasing respect abroad in proportion
tion us our homo contentions increase.
Is not iho canal scheme , like the
Union Pacific" , a bastard child begot-
tsnaby ragged savrlce from tha womb
cf want , nurs't into existence by
breasts of cupidity , and gorged to
satiety on legislative covetiousneis ;
while the legitimate children of our
Republic ( the Mississippi , Missouri
and tributary rivers ) are starred into
uselessness for the want of legislative
sustenance.

question of railroad transportation.
This was viewed from a railroad stand

Ignored.
It may be that the greater portion
of our country's brains is contained
In the ' craniums of railroad cappers
and 'scriveners , but ire doubt it. It
require : more calculation aud thought
on the part of tbo farmer to run his
business and pay his expenses on the 3
per cent Income so kindly allowed on
the part of the railway magnates , who
only make from 30 to 40 per cent on
stock , mostly \ratered. I will concede
that they do not take quite all. They
do not kill the laving goose ( that's the
bird that resembles the granger , ac
cording to a correspondent of The
Lincoln State Journal ) , and shows the
estimation in which the tillers of the
soil are held by the railroad ring.
They work on the same principle
that actuated our British ancestors in
their treatment of the Jews. They
left a small nucleus for future accu
mulation on the part of the Jews , and
for future plunder on their own.
They may prove as hard to manage as

But a way will ba devised , if the

This government is supposed to bo
a republic , intended to promote tba
greatest good for the greatest number ,
and not an oligarchy , for the advance
ment of n few. Most of our roads
have been constructed almost entirely
by the people , byway of bonds , etc. ,
or indirectly by their representatives
in congress giving vast subsidies out
of the public domain. A single road
in Knias merely cost the company
the amount of the survey bill , and
; ho people and traveling public paid
learly for the use of their own road.
I'his will do as B fair sample of the
nostof them.
Competition is a farce ; the same
jnillisusod ; their issues are pooled.

Many towns In Nebraska have exper
ienced the curse of favoritism. There
are none who Fdesire to cripple or In
jure any road. There should bo no
antagonism whatever between carriers
and producers , for there is & natural
inter-dependance between them. Most
of the carrying trade is furnished by
the agriculturist. The millions of
bushels of grain ; the enormous amount
o : stock , produced and oold , furnish
the roads with an immense business ,
and the proceeds .of which load the
western-bound trains. The freightage
both ways cornea out of the farmer.
As agriculture ii of necessity thecorner
stone cf material prosperity in tb
west , the mercantile and mechanical
pursuits ate dependent upon1 the welfare -
fare of the farming class. They must
stand or fall tagether. Every cent of
extortionate charge added to a reason
able tariff , is as much taken from the
westj to add to further accretion of
eastern capital. And that extortion
is practiced , it is useless to deny , for
the enormovfs wealth of Wm. Vanderbilt -
bilt , Gould , ct si. , confute any denial
to the contrary.
If a railroad can make money when
cutting schedule rates , there is no
necessity for adding 6a per hundred ,
aa haa been done , thus virtually rob
bing the west of millions. The fluctu
ations of mercantile trade , etc. , coin
cide with periods of agricultural
depression as exactly as does
the mercurial tube with the changes
of heat snd cold. Consequently there
is not a branch of business but what
ought to join bands with the Alliance
