July of tlio pundit J oar , ho contrived
and securud a pntunt upon nn iron
tip , which ouilimtly answers uvery
pinpoau ot \\ooden ono , vith thu
additional desideratum of bciiu much
more durable.
Tlio tie is of cast iiou nnd nmdu in

c.vto of thu ether , and can bo applied
< > n cither the right or loft rail The
full ai/od jiiucas mo c.ist i > 0 inches

inches thick , duectly uiuloi the rail ,
1 \ at thu ends , and thu strength is
further inore.xBi'd bv thieo houvy ribs
running the entire luiiKth. The ja s
are ) inches wide by 1 inch thick , nt
the point whore they grip thu baao of
the rail. The present weight of each
piece is 1'tO pounds , but it can bo ro-
cluccd without dhminitinn of atronuth.
The connecting b.na nro of wrought
iron , 2 inches by " \ in thickness , and
tire Hccurod in the "centra of the track
by ono boit passing through both
bars , which securus the mil .us tirin as
C4iti ho desired without the use of any
bolts or ether portiblu appliances in
diiect contnct with the rail. This
with the fact that the jaws are cast
solid with the tiu , nmko it a model of
Htrungth , and Hi'cuuty , and alini ob
viate the necessity of constant atten
tion to keep the ties in order.
Ten , or eleven at most , is the num
ber of theao iton ties remiiicd to each
rail of ! ! 0 feet and allow mi * the uvur- '
aiubeitiny ; BUif.ic.i on the loadbed
that Hoodtu ticn nnw ha\o. Ne.nly ;
two moncha ago Air. Yronmn had
thtee of his new ties Maniifacturod ,
and at the toijueat of the Union J'ucifu ,
iail av managoinent , they were
placed in thu lo.ulliL'd , u nhnrt dishmco
w eat of t Ilia city , for the pnrpoflo ot
tea'injr them. In company with Mr.
Vromin and another gentleman , the
uditoi of The Telegraph imuctud | ) the
ties a few daja jij. Although they
hiul lieen pluetd ut the conjunution of
ti.o laila , on either side of the truck ,
or .13 tiaclvinen undeiutand it , on n
donblo "joint , " and in putting them
in the bank had been loosi'iied , jet ,
the joint had nut sunk perceptibly ,
nor did it gi\o way to any extent ,
while , as we watched it : i train of can
passed over nt the lateof lie uly thirly
miles an hour. 15y spring , the tie will
luuo pioveu its ability to withstand
cold weather ana ordu.ary wear and
ti ir.
ir.Ab to thu cxpcnso compared with
that attaching to the wooden ties now
used on all r.uhuuds , the following
facts and liguu's array themsehcs :
The Union division of the Paci
fic Hallway , from Omaha to Ogden , it
1,02 ! ! milcB , in length. It leqinrcs
L',700,000 ties to tie it onci > , and ties
ioused wear out in sumething less
than 4 years. Ton years ago tiea cost
'JO cents a piece , and the giowint ;
Hcarcity of timber , and oilier inci
dental inereasn of cost has advanced
the price to double that , (10 ( cents each.
All this ratio of increase , their price
will bo n dollar within another ton
years. 13ut at present figures it coats
the Union Division of the Pacific Kail-
way $405,000 per year for tiea , or for
ton yearn the enormous sum of § 1,050-
000. Mr. Yroman'u tie , if manufac
tured on a larco scale , would cost not
to exceed $2.00 each ; the number re
quired for thu Union division would
bo 1,700,000 , which , if they lasted
ten yearn without removal , would re
duce the expense of lining the branch
in question to $ ! ! . )0,000 per annum ,
and if twenty years , which is certain
they will , the cost would bo reduced
to $175,000 annually , or less than
half what wooden tics cost per year at
the present prices.
Another item of economy in the
use of the iron tiu in question , would
be the dimunilion of the track force ,
which , as with them thu labor of
keeping the track in repair would bo
lees , could bo reduced DO per cent
per annum , ix reduction of the pay
rolls of § 200,000 for the name time

but the spring and summer difficulties

Trno to its general iiiBtinctn of ava
rice and oppression , thu Southern Pa
cific Hail toad Company reaches out
its octopus arms to gather in little as
well asig incomes. The crop of this
season in many places waaxery heaxy.
Notably was this thu case in the Mus
sel Slough country. In that district
alone , a close estimate places the
j iehl at the ei'ormous amount of 100.
000 tons. Of the three shipping
points fiom which this ( 'lain seeks a
umtkct , 11 nn ford in the principal one.
It has several liiru'o xxnrehouseti , jot
these wore capable of holding but a
small portion of the amount centering
there for shipment , and aft r they
were all full nothing watt left , either
to the farmers or waiohousomon , butte
to pile if up on thu ground outside.
Actes weio thus pilul up , without
covering. Meantime , there wns a
constant scramble among ( Onppei.s to
secure the maximum uf two or thiuu

thu grain Oftenur , though , hut ono
ear per day was furnished , and very
frequently not one. Thus exposed to
thu hot HUH for weeks , thesicknbo
came sunburnt and lotten. Added to
this , two considerable rains eime up
on it , ousins yet moro ruin. Farm
ers and warehousemen became des-
puiate. For weeks , letteis and tele-
grains by the hundted were nent , im
portuning the company to finnish
transportation. Hut all weio of no
avail. The loplies to all tlu.se urgent
appeals wuie that it was mqiossiblo
for the company to iitlord lubef , as
they could not futnish thu cns. Tn
the midst of the excitement a party ,
accompanied by a Division Superin
tendent of the company , put in an np-
pcatancu at llanford and , by the nine-
tion ( jf thu superintendent , proposed
to the warehousemen that , if tboy
would give to him the contract of
loading the grain at 25 cents per ton ,
ho would furnish , load and ship sixty
cars per day. With the consent and
junction of the superintendent , ho
stated that ho had the necessary eats
at his disposal , and suflicicnt China
men to load them. Thu cost to the
warehousemen of loading -the curs
with their own men was about 10
cents per ton. The small difference
of Ifi cents per ton made , in thu ag
gregate , a heavy expense , but the
heavy loss accuriug to the owners
through the failure of the company to
furnish the necessary transportation ,
in many cases compelled the owners
to submit to thu extortion , and thu
loading and shipping finance and con
tract i ing of the railroad oppressors
pocketed the revenue. How exten
sive thin petty imposition was through
out the state it is impossible to say ,
but if it was general , the outside income -
como to beneficiaries made up u grand
total of no moan proportions to its ut-
iginators. Will the railroad commis
sioners please make a note of this ?

THE EDITOR.
A Brief DUoonno on tba Hnbita
of the Creature.
*
lloston Transcript.
The editor is a member of that race
of animals called mankind. Ifo is in
variably a kind man.
llu is perfectly harmless. You may
go into his den without fear , liut he
lias his peculiarities. The sight of a
poet makes him wild. Ho is then
very dangerous , and is apt to do bodily
ily harm to all within his reach. lie
is also much wrought up when u m in
comes in with a triilu he lias just dash
ed off.
Tliero is ono thing which must bo
said in thu editor's dispraise. Hm iniiid
is so biased by long thinking in a certain
direction that ho dislikes very much
to loot ; on both sides of a question
Thoieforo , if you value your safety ,
never appioach him with manuscupt
written on both sides of your paper.
The editor usually wiiteswitha
pen , but his most cutting aiticlo urn
the product of his shears.
And let mo Bay right hero , children ,
that a good dual of sheer nonstiiHo
has been punted about thu editor.
Ho uses his fiheais only when compos
ing an entirely original article.
The editor would make u good pub
lic speaker , but foi his piopcitHity for
clipping words ,
Thu editor's ' hardest task is to dis
pose of his time. It is a monotonous
lifo indeed , wore it not for tlio kind
ness of the few hundred people who
call upon him every day to enliven
his dull life with stones of their griev
ances , of their brand now enterprises ,
and with antodiliivinn anecdotes.
Whoa you grow up to bo men and
n omen , children , remember this , and
spend all the time you can in the
Banctum of the editor. Ho loves
company nu much , you know , and
sometimes ho has to sit silent and
alonofora whole half-mituito. IH it
not too bud /
The business of the editor is to en-
teitain itinoiant lecturers , booh can-
xassors , exchange fiends and otliui
philanthropists , Ho givei bin vvliolo
day to these. Ho vviites his edito
rials at night after he has gone to
bed.

The editor is never happy except
when ho h
wilting complimentary no-
tices. For ten cents' worth ofpio-
flouts ho will gladly give ton dollars'
worth of tidvortihing all on account
> f the phasuro ilgiXM t j wnlc , you
know , children.
Mo loves to write neat little
speeches and bin-lit little poems for
people without btains , who wmh to
si-eik in public. It is so easy to do
this that he is sometimes quite miser-
abl when nn hour or two pisu-s without -
