Tin : recent attempt of a craxy mill
to blackmail that prince of corpriralo
blackmailer * , Jay ( tould , has not
evoked much sympathy from the east
ern press , who know too well the
usual methods of railroad magnates.
The Springfield JlepnbltfaH does not
see why ( iould should bo treated nny
differently from any other nnn , nnd
protests against the expensive efforts
niado by government oflicialH to iifsi
inn in discovering the nlt'ender. It
says :
When anything Imppcns to Jay
fiould thu world never takes a wink
of sleep until ho is safe. What a
liubbub wai raised over the threaten-
intr letter which ho received ! Most
if our readers have at least in flush
: imes had these little positive do-
n.indp on them for a million
) f dollars or their life within
twenty-four hours , and thought
lothiug of it. But Mi : Gould
s not to be trifled with ,
le passcH it over to his broker ,
ns broker calls in the postmaster of
Nrow York , the postmaster-general of
he United States , the metropolitan
lolicu authorities , fifty postmen and
ifty detectives to hunt thu raacals
lown. And thu next morning "tho
lireat metropolitan dailies" all detailed
.ho story in the mime languarge cov
ering four or five columns. The great
hit I es take care of Mr. Gould Hweotly.
I , Howard Welles , the oll'endcr , is a
nan once honorable debauched by
sprculation. Ho won the title of
colonul by gallant service in the
Union army had u good property left
lim by his grandfather , has
i wife at 1'aris a daughter at
\l\rn \ \ Porter's ncliool at Kurminglon ,
' oim. i < 'or Hdini ) years ho has had no
msincss but Hpecuhition , und his
'riends say ho has often acted wildly
uul H'raugely ' nt times of speculative
excitement. They liavo of late- re
garded him as "oil'tho handle " Hm
ofl'orlH to blackmail Gould , however ,
iave been so cunning that it will be
iliflicult to arouse much Bympatliy for
liim as : i ' 'crank. " Ifo has worked up
Ilia insanity by speculative indulgences ,
is f.uiteau did his seeking ollicu nnd
cultivating hm own vanity. If both
nen had liad some honest occupation
to buckle down to every day , there
would have been no trouble with their
wits.
Tun notorious desperado , Ed. Max
well , who had been captured in Grand
Island a week ago and brought to
Omaha on hm way to Wisconsin , was
summarily lynched by a mob Satur
day , in broad daylight , within a few
momenta after ho had been arraigned
fur the crime of murder before the
court. Oa the same day , and almost
at the Biimo hour , an attempt was
made at Washington to cut. short the
career of President Oarliold'H assassin
while hu was being conveyed from the
courthouse to jail.
While mob rule and the taking of
life without duo process fof law musl
be discountenanced by all law-abiding
people , thi'Ho incidents furnish n strik
ing proof of the growing distrust tlio
American people entertain toward our
judicial iiy.stoni.

llueneoa , Murderera about whoso
guilt there i.s not n shadow of
doubt , hnvo prolittod by the law's de
lay and after expensive and pro
tracted trills have gone scot free on
plea of insanity.
Instead of being regarded as the
bulwark of social order , our courts
frequently become thu means of de
feating the ends of justice. Popular
confidence in the speedy and summary
punishment of criminals is weakened
and lynch law is retorted tn as the
surest and swiftest moans of ridding
communities of cowardly assassins ,
Ito.Niis under the last treasury call
continue to come in slowly. It is
utatcd that owing to thu continued ac
cumulation of money in thu treasury
Secretary Folger will shortly issue u
call for 8l > 0,000',000 or $ ; iOOQO,000 of
M per cents , to be paid after ninety
days , nt which time interest will cease.
Thu ovur-abundanco of money is indi
cated by the reluctance with which
capitalists purl with bonds bearing
such a low rate of interest as tU per
cent.
Tin : attempts of the Oniulia
to pull the wool over the eyes of the
public in palming oil' stale news
through its columns as fresh matter is
worse than redioulous. On "Wednes
day THK ] ) KK published a dispatch
from Milwaukee announcing tlio sale
of the Blair interest in the Chicago it
Pflcilic to the Chicago , Milwaukee A-
St. Paul road , giving thaf road direct
ino between Chicago and Omaha , On
Friday the Jfn-ald , in its editorial
columns , pompously hinted that such
a sale WAR in contemplation , and on
Saturday announced that its suspicions
wore correct. The lir.rnld should
publish its news as n weoklycontinued
story. The public would secure its
news in nearly as fresh a form as they
do at prciunt.
A SINIIUI.AU complication is

The election l.w of the slate requires
canvasser * of returns to meet in Hich-
inoiiil on the fourth Monday in No
vember. The present month contains
only three Mondays and tlioro is a
loud discussion ns to the proper
method of Hading ] n way out of the
woods. It i * argued that , as thu law
never exacts an impossibility , if the
canvassi'i'd cannot meet on the fourth
Monday a meeting on another day
must bo had. This seems to bo the
general conclusion and thu lioiirbotis
will have no chmico to nullify the re
sult of Senator Mnhono's victory.

highly sensitive individual. Notice
has been served by Mr. Charles

responsible for this atrocious libel. If

The opening of thn Denver Short

Tholiitt r is n narrow gunge road , but
n third rail has bu u laid , making the
second line between Denver and Kan
sas City. A fast passenger train will
be put on this line on the 1st of De
cember and thu time cut down to
thirty hours. This line , being entire
ly independent of thu Gould roads ,
will undoubtedly seeuro a good shnro
of business.
The Denver and Rio Orando nill bo

The iron layers on the 13. it M.

rado , nnd the graders are ninny miles
beyond. The contractor of tlio fifty
miles nearest Denver began work this
week , and the contract for the next
Ify miles has been lot. The rapid
progress of this road is not surprising
when the level character of the coun
ty is considered. The maximum
; radc from Culbertson to Denver , a
distance of nearly JJOO miles , is thirty
; c < t to thu mile. Forty-nino miles of
: rack have been laid west of Culbert
son since the loth of October , or
about ono and a half miles daily. Thu

The circular recently issued by the
Siox. City and Pacific railroad , calls
attention the wonderfully productive
ind cheap lands in the cDuntry bord
ering on the Elkhora Valley route ,
extending from Blair to Long Pine
or Croigliton , on the Pierce branch ,
240 miles of road. Possessing nil the
elements for successful cultivation ,
these productive lands will attract a
vast number of sotlers the coming
spring and summer.
President Vilhvrd , of the Northern
Pacific , lias closed a contract with
Thoe. Edison for the construction of
fitty miles of railroad in Minnesota , to
test the practicability'of electricity as
a motive power. The road is to bo
built next spring , und should the ex
periment fail the greater portion of
the cost will fall upon Mr. Edison.
Thu latter is backed by strong capital
ists and is confident of success , in
which event he will receive a stipu
lated sum for the entire road. It is
probable that Iho experimental track
will bo built to St. Cloud Minne
apolis nnd St. Paul.
The Chicago Tribune says the Chicago
cage , Milwuuko it St. Paul company
