There was nn interesting debate in tl

atone national park to ttio Cinnabar nr
Clark's Fork railroad. The bill Is looke
upon trith considerable suspicion , ar
will probably bo defeated. U wi

ground that the introduction of any rai

It ia hoped that congress will go ale
in dealing out Collowstono park in sc
lions to the various monopolies If or
railroad ia admitted others are sure I
follow , and than the romance of the pat
will bo moro than half dostroyed. Th
great beauty and attractiveness of th
park consists in the wilducss and undii
kurbod condition of the region. W
do not want a railroad runnin
to ovcry place of interest i
the park , nor do wo want
: iotol at every ton miles. The romanc
of camping out , the pleasure of riding o
lorso-baok or going on foot from th
point would then seem a hardshipwhore
as n w it is real enjoyment. Lot th
Yellowstone park remain as it is , and 1 <
in not bo disturbed by railroads runntr
all through it. It is well enough to ha\
the railroads run to its boundaries , bi
no further , and wo believe that wo voi <

" , JRIJINQ TOO HARD. "
Wo have boon told time and time an
again that the Nebraska railroads linv
one out of politics , but every time the
a campaign is to bo fought , a convor
tion to bo hold , or a legislature is to b
elected the railroads take a hand In , th
canvass. 'In this , history only repeat
itself. As far back aa 18GO the Noi
York Central nought to dominate ovc
the people of the Emptro State , and did
to a great extent , control the politics c
that commonwealth. In the prosidontii
campaign whiclt culminated in the clcc
tion of Abraham Lincoln , th
railroads were largely a faotc
n politics , and as uaual were allied wit
; ho party in power. lloraco Greolcj
who courageously grappled with the coi
lonUo monopolists in thoio days , cilled

oss appoala through The Tribune , whic
waa then the loading republican paper i
America. It ia decidedly refreshing , o
, hs ! 'day , to road Grooloy'a vigorou
articles on corporate inlarulo of twontj
bur years ago , which are just us applic

Wo make no personal attack on Mcesrs

their own affair , and their personal character

An important decision waa rondoro
in the United States Circuit court ycato
day , Judge Ilallct granting a decree i
the case of Hiram Barker ot al. , bom
holders of the Denver , Western and Pi
cifio Railway company against the Unio
Pacific Railway company , A. A. Egboi
as receiver of the Denver , Western an
Pacific road and the Fanners' Loan an
Trust Company of Now York.
The suit waa brought by the origint
Denver , Western and Pacific atockhold
ors to VBCAto the decree in a suit brougl :
by the Farmers' Loan and Trust compi
ny which ia acting as the Trustees of th
Denver , Western and PaciGo road. Ui :
dor the decision rendered by Judge 11 a
lot yesterday A. A. Egbert ia remove
from the receivership of the Donvoi
Western and Pacific railway and the con
domnntion procvodinga are restrained
The Union Pacific nnd the Loan am
Trust company are enjoined from fore
closing the mortgage or Belling any o
the land.
Judge Hallot decides that Fred LAmes
Amos , ono of the Union Pacific railroai
directors , has apparently only the righ
to hold tlioatocK of the Denver , Wester ;
and Pacific purchased by him $310,000
and haa no right to take $004,000 of th
stock , as it is claimed ho has taken , an
that if the allegations cited in the bill c
complaint is proven , neither Mr. Ame
nor the 'Union ' Pacific Railway compan ;
haa any right to the bonds they claimei
to own , nnd that in any event they couli
not share-in the proceeds of the propert ,
except in the ratio of the amount o
bonds which they actually paid for.
The decision gives a point in favor o
the bonoholdors , but it ia by no moaua
settlement of the suit , which will paol
ably bo a subject of legal warfare fo
some timo.
Judge Hallot refused to lot E. C
Wolcot , the attorney for the bondhold
era , have the decree for publication lac
night , aa ho ( the judge ) wishes to mak
some verbal and other corrections in th
document.
KOYAI/TY IN THIS COMPOSINt
UOOM.
How the JjaCo Duke or Allmnv Sc
Typo at i ho Cane ,
It was my destiny once to engngo th
doeoasud Prince Laopold , Duke of Alba
ny , in a long conversation , writes n Linden
don corroapondent. In the fill of 187 !
Prince Leopold , accompanied by his farmer
mor tutor , CuioiiDuck\\nrth ) | , visited tin
oflico i f olio cf the largest of the largea
of the London morning newspapers , 01
the stall of which 1 was at ( hut time em
ployed , I was deputed by the propriu
tors to show the 1'nnco over the build
ing , a tfiak which occupied about thrm
hours ; for the I'rinco nut only duaired ti
ceo everything that waa to bo aooi
thuro , but to have it explained tc
him in detail , The poor "la canon bo-
ciiuiD quite wpariud of the inspection ,
and once or twice hinted at the prop riutj
of quitting , until the Prince told him
plainly that ho was not dUposcd to hurry
When passing through the composing
room the Prince dumbfounded ono ot the
compositors by asking him for the loan
of his composing-stick. Of course tin
Princo'a request wa at once complied
with , when his Hoyal Highness proceeded
coodod to still further astonish the typo :
by setting two or three lines from a pag <
ot manuscript which lay on the caso. 11
waa evident that the Prince waa perfect ) }
acquainted with the arrangement of tin
cases and could compose typo with ease ,
Court etiquette requiring that no one
who haa not boon oltteially introduced
shall put any question to any royal per-
aonago I was precluded asking for any
explanation I so ardently desired to have ,
Noticing , I suppose , my nuetled exprc'a <
tion , the prince proceeded to enlignton
mo. Ho had learned practical printing ,
ho said , when n young boy , at his unclo'a
in Germany , and had spent five weeks at
the tusk.
There is no historic custom in the
royal family of England , as there is in
tlmtof Germany , requiroing every prince
to go through the farce of pretondini ; tc
learn a trade , hence Prince Leopold's
knowledge of printing mint have boon
voluntarily adquirod. That the late D.uku
of Albany was un accomplished linguist
and musician waa generally known , but I
think that it has boon reserved for mo to
publish for the first time that to hid other
requirements must bo added the art of
tiie compositor.

The Proposed Ijlno from ttio Ilctl Ho
Into the Soudan.
Fro-n Iho Tvrmdon Telegraph.
The inevitable expedition will have <
go by the route which nature indicate !
nnd n man has followed since the days c
Cmbysenthat is to say , by the Sui
kirn-Berber line , which is the noaro ;
r > fissgo between the Red Sea and th
Fifth Cataract. J ust as certain it ia thi
a railway connecting these points wi
prove the indispensable adjunct and it
strumont of the undertaking. The nai
roW'guago line Which wo can and mtu
lay would o up with the troops , watei
food and support thorn , connect them r
ovcry _ hour with the sea an
supplies , and continue to exist antH
ba profitable when the last liritis
soldier had quitted Suakim , Long ag
such a line ought to have been construct
od. It has boon contemplated over sine
the early days of Ishmail , and Town"
would have established it , had Hicks defeated
foatod the Mahdi. Wo ourselves ob
served , when the discussion first ares
about dispatching Gordon , that "th
boat possible Governor-General for th
SoudanvrouldbothoBorbor-Suakim ) lliil
way."Evon if Egypt oxnonded the morr
ing for its construction , ! ! would prove th
wiacat outlay she over made ; but as
part of the cost of the campaign of relic
alone , it would save vast sums , and ma
bo considered , indeed , as a sino qua no
of the enterprise , and the first and moi
important business to take in hand , who
once thb word ia uttered that all the ;
people who look to England for succot
are not tu porioli.
Of course the railway thus contompla <
od must bo cheap and simple. Expcr
oncod contractora aflirm that a narro
_
gauge line can bo laid over the easy com
try in question at the rate of five or si
miles a day. The distance is about 28
miles , and , allowing for preparations an
organization , it could bo finished , whatever
over the weather , in four months. It i
estimated to coat 750,000 ; but then ;
would boo property , and a very good one
aura to develop commence and intorcours
and "smash the Mahdi" by the moan
moat fatal to him. Fifty miles of th
metals are lying ready at Woolwich ; th
ironmasters of the Midlands could auppl ,
ono hundred moro on short notice , am
the rest could soon bo provided. PAV
mont , slender enough in the eyes of th
iiritish navy , but dazzling to ai
Arab , would sot the tribes of thi
desert to work night and da ;
upon the job , and every league complet
cd could bo protected by armed truck :
and engines , which could bo held liki
mobile fortresses. Water may bo gel
in quantities by moans of tube wolli
wherever the Arabs find it in driblcs , 01
might bo run up nnd stored in tanksand ;
all the way to within fifty miles of Kerb
or there are springs ; while at Kobrob , or
high ground , there is quite a beautiful
oasis , fit fur a sanitary station. Moving
up by this swift built line which woulc
have no great elevations to climb , and nc
serious hollows to bridge the column ol
rescue would arrive at Berber , probably
with little or no fighting , for oven tht
Gerneat tribes would know the Mahdi'i
reign to bo over when the railway cchooc

Kir. Henry M. James , clerk of sessions
NTuldon Proabytoriau church , writes to
PUB BEE , under date of May 31 , as fol-
owa : "In the Nuckolla county Herald
} f this week , Mr. Byram , stated clerk of
; ho Presbytery , gives the other side ( the
lopoailion of W. U. Smith ) * * * I
noroly suggest that when so many are
nl created it IB but fair that both sides
ihould bo hoard. "
The main points in the report of Mr.
Uyram are ai follows :
"He ( Mr. Smith ) waa asked to appoint
iountol , but refused , He waa given op-
lortunity through the entire time of tak-
ng testimony , to question the witnesses
mt ho refused. Ho was aakod at tha
.ho close of the examination yea , I may
iay , urged to make his defense but ro
uted. I may say without fear of contra-
lictlon from any ono that.thero never
rasa court moru illspoaed to conduct its
lusinoM witli fairucu , kiudneu and con *
id > ration for the accused than did the
lastingB Presbytery.
"These who conducted the prosocn *
ion did so , not a individuals , but as
penta of the J resbytery.
"I mn euro I upuuk Iho mind of the
presbytery , when I say that their actioi
was not induced by any dcairo to pu
down or deal maliciously and unfair !
with Mr. Smith.
" "I-know the proibytcrv regretted veri
much for his sake that he should ut
terly rotuso to defend himself in thocaao
and thus not only mnko euro of the reaul
of the trial , but throw contempt upon th
court.
I cannot understand wliatolso the presbytery
bytory could have done in the premises
Tha sentence was the inevitable canto
quont of the testimony. No other con
elusion could have been arrived at tha
this , i. o. , that H v. W. 11 , Smith i
found guilty in nine charges out of ten
and therefore must bo sentenced Vi
deponing htm from the gospel ministry
and suspending him from communion u
the church , Putting tha most favorabl
constttiction upon his motives , grantin
that not moro than two specifications ot
of every three were well taken , the rcsu
would not have been dluoJont. "

Mrs. McShano who is not alilo to rca

standing and debating in her mind th

to spell out print. An elm opened til
paper she thought she observed , as ah
says , "domo bita o' dtliirt or gravels" fill
out of it , though she paid but little at
tentiou , thinking at the time that it wa
same "dchtutf that had worked in
to the paper on the road. " Wl e
her friend read the letter it was foun
that her husband "trusting to luck , " a
ho said had sent in the newspaper a
specimens no leas than fifteen diamond
in the rough , ranging in value from $3
to $120 each. Hero was a po , as not
stone remained in the paper. However
she remembered that when she opened th
paper aho was in a walk where the snov
was off the ground juet opposite the residence
idonco of a neighbor , and accompanied b ;
her friend she returned to the place
Not a diamond could bo found , but Mrs
McSlmno's friends had observed a lot o
chickens about the npot , and was conli
dunt they had found and swallowed the
{ littering little stonos. In a short time
juito a crowd of men and women hnd col
lectcd about the spot having been told
about the losa and , as the place was n
regular cruising ground for the chickens
n search of gravel wlulo the ground was
savored with snow in most places , it waa
.ho general opinion that they had swat-
owed the gems.
Tlio chicken belonged to the neighbor
n front of whoso place the newspaper
iad boon opened , and this neighbor
sould not bd expected to sacrifice his
whole flock , numbering thirty fowls , for
nothing. As no ono could tell which
articular chicken might have a diamond
n its crop , and which not , it would bo
necessary to sacrifice the whole lot. The
owner disliked to loao his chickens , but
Inally said he would let them go under
the circumstances , at 75 cents each cash
down. Mrs. McShano had no money
and know not what to do. However
there was no time to lose , and a miner ,
of sporting turn who happened to bo
present agreed to pay for all the chick
ens , provided Mrs. McShano would give
him any stone ho might pick out from
among these recovered. Mrs. McShano
accepted the oflor with the proviso that
she was to have all the chickens thai
were killed. The fowls were enticed in
to their house and the heads cut oil" the
wholu lot. The contents of their crop
being carefully washed and examined ,
twelve of the gems were found. Gener
ally they were worth from 830 to § 50
but there were three worth § 100 ant
over. Ono of these , a stone worth § 120
fell tf th * share of the speculative miner ,
Mrs. McShano was helped out on hei
side by dressing and selling the chickens
at from 75 cents to § 1 each.
A curious part of the story remains to
be told , however. Between the unou
diamonds found in the craws of thu fcwle
there was taken from one a handsome
emerild that wns perfectly cut. Mre
McShanp , cf course , thought that this
stone had also been sent by her husband ,
though it was not mentioned in his let
ter. While this matter was being dis
cussed a lady living in the vicinity came
up nnd at once claimed the emerald.
She said she lost it out tf her ring the
lay hi fore. No ono knoiv what to Bay
to this , aa those present did not wish to
dispute the point. Seeing how mutter *
3'ood , the lady ran oil homo and presmit-
ly lo'urncd with her ring , into the tot-
ng of which the emoralu lilted perfectly.
On seeing this ull agreed that the stone
was the property < f the lady.

Great Grief.
Joston Globe ,
"Please , Mr. Conductor , 1 ain't ' got no
noney , but I want to got homo quick , for
Billy's hurled very bad. "
The speaker was a shabbily attired little
; irl , apparently about nine years ol age ,
vho had just entered a car near Dover
( root , carrying in her arms , wrapped in
i faded shawl , what appeared to bo a
> aby.
" ( knows you car , mister , " she contin-
ted , "it goes close to my street ; an * I'll
ot the money from father tin' pay you. "
"All right , sis , " paid the conductor ,
: indly. "How did the baby get hurt ? "
"It ain a baby , " she answered , "it's
ny brother Putiey's dog.l Ho was run
vpr by a Hordio. ' P&nsoy'a crippled , an *
hinka ovorythin1 er Billy. "
She had hardly ceased speaking when
lioro was a convulsive movement in the
liawl , followed by a subdued yelp ; then
11 woe itill , Half opening the bundle ,
ho little girl glanced into it ,
"Oh , dear , dear ! " she cried , bursting
nto tears , ' 'what shall I do ? Billy's
ead. "
So saying , nho throw back the shaw ) ,
nd exposed to view the bruised and bat-
oroa remains of a small mongrel terrier ,
fliat looked , in truth , as much like a
leco of ragged door-mat aa anything.
"Oh ! dear , dear , " she repeated , again
ml again , between her sobs , "what shall
dol"
'ihero was not a dry eye in the car as a
all , banovelent-lookiug gentleman of the
'ather Tuylor stamp arose , took oil his
at , and without a lying a word , passed
i round , The coin showered into it
very one gave something and the
mount , materially increased by tlio
ontlemaii himself , was poured into the
ttio girl's lap.
