fcporters and correspondents are oven ro-

irol important pocuninry interests are as
turo to have a lobby as an army to have Its
ramp followers. Wiero the bady Is then )
irlll the vultures ba t'atborod
tORethcr , " To such an extent is the lobby
nbubo carried ihut some largo corporations
select their regular solti'ltors uipro for their
qualifications as loubylsts thiinor their
legal lore. It Is a common remark amonp
lawyers that a grout company in Chicago
pays a third class lawyer , who has the repu
tation of being a first class lobbyist , au ox-
iravagaut salary and calls him general so.
Icltor , while it rolles upon other lawyers
to attend to its Important Ivgul business.
The renditions of thu members of the bar to
lervo wealthy corporations Is fast bringing
tno Icual profession of America into illsre *
puto abroad. The author just quoted. In
iptmlilng of ita moral standard , suys ; "Hut
I am bound to aiUt that some Judicious
Amuricau observers hold thu.t the lust thirty
/ears / have witnessed a certain dccadeuco In
the bar of the great cities. They say tint
the growth of enormously rich and powerful
corporations , willing to pay vast sums for
< iuestlonuble services , has seduced the virtue
of some counsel whoso eminence mikes their
example important , unit that in a few states
the degradation or the bench has led to secret
understandings between judges und counsel
for tbo perversion of Justice. "
There arc , of course , ublo and honorable
attorneys employed by tallroad companies ,
but often railroad lawyers are selected more
for their political Influence , tact and in
genuity than , for legal ability , ami , as n rule ,
the political lawyer receives much better
compensation for his services than does the
lawyer who attends strictly to legitimate
legal work.
Wcro There Only More Publicity.
Tlio danger from railroad corporations
ies in their great wealth controlled by a few
jorsons ami the want of publicity in their
justness. AVoro they required to render
accounts for their expenditures to tlio pub-
'ic , legislative corruption funds would
loou bo numercd with the do-
'unct abuses of railroad corporations ,
anil , with bribes wanting in the
balance of legislative equivalents , the repre
sentatives of the pcoplo could be entrusted
to enact laws just nllUe to corpnratlous and
tbo piiolic , whllo asserting thu rk-ht of the
icoplo to control the public highway uiut
imKo It subservient to the welfare of the
many instead of the enrichment ot tlio few' .
A wise law regulating lobbies exlats in Mas
sachusetts. Kvory lobbyist is required to
register ; IH boon us ho appears ut the capital ,
to Utah ! In whoso Interest und In what
capacity ho attends tbo legislative session ,
to keep a faithful account of his oxpenbcs
and tolllo u copy of the same with the sccro-
tnry of state. Were a similar law enacted
: iinl enforced by ovcry state legislature , us
well as by congress , the power of railroad
lobbies would bo curtailed.
KttoniU Kveu to tli3 Executive.
Hallroud managers never do things by
halves. Well raill/ing that it ) s in ( he
power of a fearless executive , by his veto ,
to render futllo Uio achievements of n
costly lobby and to injure or benefit -tl'clr
interests by ptir&ulng an aggressive or con
servative policy in the enforcement of the
laws , they never f.tll to inaUo their inlluenco

Is'o dclogato , with their permission- over
uttoiulsn national convention , republican or
democratic , if ho is not known to favor thu
selection of a man as the presidential candi
date of hit ) party whose conservatism In all
matters pertaining to railroad maltora Is
well established. At these conventions the
rullroad companies are always represented ,
und their rfprcbciitaUvcs do not hesitate to
inform the dolcg.ites that this or that caiuli-
dito : is not acceptable to their corporations
and cannot receive their support at tnu
polls. During the Chicago conven
tion of l S ihu statement was openly
made that two of t4io western
candidates lost eastern support because they
wuro not acceptable ) to a prominent Now
York tlelcpnlu who hail come to Chicago In n
three-fold capacity that of -lelegato , u

man appeared u alii last your nt the Mlnnc
apolU convention as chief organizer of tin
forces of u leading candidate. His counter
part was liHitteudanco at the Chicago con
vention looking after the sainu lull-rests
there.
r.ciull ) Friendly tu Iloth S
U U the boast of prominent railroad men
that their Influence elcctnd President ( iar-
lield , nnU the statemeut has been made upon
good autboHty that "not until u fqw days
hufoiu tliocleetlondUl the Uarlleld managers
feel secure , " iiiul that "when the secret his
tory of that camva.lgii comes to bo written it
will bo seen that Jay Uould had more Inllu-
encu upon the election than Grant and
Conkllng. " It cannot bo said that
railroad managers as n class
huvri often supported u presidential
candidate. This may be duo to the fuel that
with the uncertainty which has for yearn at.
tcuucd national politics they deem it the
part of discretion to pretend friendship for
either party und than shout for the victor
in conformity with tills policy a well known
Now York railroad millionaire has for years
made largo and secret contributions to the
campaign funds of both political parties. He
thereby places both parties under political
obligations , and believes his interests safe ,
whichever turn the political wheel may take.
After the cJontest ho Is usually the lirst to
congratulate tha successful candidate. In
thu national campaign of 1SSI , this railroad
king completely outwitted a western politi
cian ami member of the republican national
campaign committee , who lias always
prided himself on Ills political sa
gacity. This gentleman bad taken it
iiuon himself to enlist the rich and powerful
Now Yorker In thu republican cauo , and to
obtain from him , as a token of bis sincerity ,
a large contribution to tno IHaino campaign
fund. Iki succeeded , at least so far us the
contribution was concerned ; nut when the
struggle was over and thu opposition , in the
cxubcrenco of joy over their victory , told
talcs out of school , ho was not u little cha
grined to ibid that the managers of the
Cleveland campaign had received from the
astutu railroad millionaire : a campaign con
tribution twieo a largo as that which ho
hail obtained from him. The diatribes
which for weeks after the election tilled the
columns of his paper reflected fn' every line
the Injured prldu of the outwitted general.
llotr tlio Contentions Are Worked ,
Judging from the laxity with which tbo
railroad laws have been enforced m a con
siderable number of states , their executive
dopurtmonls are as much under the lullu-
CDCO of railroad managers as are the legisla
tive departments of others. This cannot bo
surprising to tbosn who know how often
governors of slates are nomimUeu and
elected through railroad Influences' , and
what efforts uro made by corporations to
humor sctvllo und to propltiato independent
executives. Ibo tlmo is not far remote
when nearly every delegate to utttutti con
vention hud free transportation for the round
trip. This transportation wan furnished to
delegates hy r.illruad managers through
tnelr local attorneys , or through favored
candidates and their confidants. It was
only afforded to thina who were supposed to
bo friendly to candidates approve ; ! by the
railroad managers , and us frco passage was
looked upon us the legitimate perquisite of a
delegate , but fuw persons coiijd be , induced
to attend u state convention iniU pay their
fare. As a consequi-nco , the railroad man-
ngeis found It too often an easy matter to
dictate tha nomination of candidates ,
Slnco the adoption of the IiitoMt-ito com
mcrcolaw convention pusses , us'ftuuh , Jiuvo
largely dlsuppjiirod , but many u prominent
politician In going to and rotunilnjg from
political conventions travels as u railroad
employe , though thu only service which ho
renders to the railroad companies JimsUta in
manipulating conventions In their favor , If
all the railroad candidates and the com
panies usually lake thu precaution to HUP-
port nioro than ono candidate are defeated
in the convention of ono party and a railroad
candidate is nominated by thu other party ,
the latter Is certain to recolvu at the polls
every vote which railroad and a'lleil corpor
ate Influence can command.
Intimidation.
One might suppose that an attempt would
at least bo made to hide from tlm general
public the Inlurffe'enco of such u power with
the politics of n state , but railroad managers
scorn to rely for success uu much upon In
timidating political parties us upon gaining
t ho good u ill of individual citizens. To in
lluenco party action the boast' has In
recent years repeatedly and boldly been
made in Iowa that itUUUO rullroad employes
would votoas a unit n gainst any purn'or
Individual daring to legtsluto or otherwise
take ofllcial net ion iigalnst their demands ,
and forgetting that , with tbo sumo means
used In opposition to them , a few hundred
thousand farmers and business men could
bo easily organized to oppose them , Un-
burupulous employer * often endeavor to con
trol the votes of their employes. This is
particularly true of railroad companies , and
.bey use iiiauv ingenious plans to accomplish
t , In the northwest , and especially in
[ owa , they have for several years organised
their employes as a political force for the
imrposo of defeating such candidates for
state oflicts as were known to favor state
control of the transportation business. They
luivo oven paid the expenses of the organ- !
/.ation , although tliby have made every
effort to have It appear us if the movement
was u voluntary ouo qn- the part of their
employes. They are iniploying this method
in Texas and other stains ut the present
time , in opposition to the effort that Is be
ing made by the pcoplo to secure just and
reasonable treatment from the railroads.
To Their Sluiiiio llo It Salil.
That the chief executive of n state should
bo influenced In the discharge of his odlulal
duties by such favors as passes , tbo Iree.lom
of the dining and sleeping car. by tlio free
use of a special car | or oven u special train ,
ono is loath to belibvo ; yet-it is a fact , and
especially during political campaigns , that
such favors uro frequently oflered to and
accepted by , the highest executive oflicers ,
und It Is equally true that many of these
oftlcers often couture at Iho continued viola
tions of law by railroad ofllclals.
\Vhilo the men \\lib manage luive railroad
Interests do not always possess the v.Udom
which popular reverence attributes to them ,
they certainly possess great eunnlnsr and
expend much of their artfulness in ottorts
to win over scrupulous , und to render inoro
servile unscrupulous , executives. 'I lie gen
eral railroad diplomat never omits to pay
homage to the man In power , to llatttn- him ,
to impress him with thu political influence
of bis company , to intimate plainly that , as
It has been in tbo past , so it will bo In the
future Its ilntermined policy to raw.ird its
friends and to muilsh Its enemies.
If iho executive proves intractable. , If bo
can neither bo Jl.ittcrcd nor coaxed nor
bribed Into HiibmUsloti , he does nol hcsluto
to resort to intimidation to accomplish his
purpose. This Is by 119 means u rare occur
rence. There are fow'publlo men who , If de
termined to do their duty , have nol been
subjected to railroad , insult and Intimidation.
The author may bo permitted to give an in-
Ktanco from pprsonaloxposieneo. Soon after
his inauguration aa governor of Iowa , u gen
eral ofilcer of one qf 'tho oldest und strongest

portuned him with unreasonable requests.
When bo found that ho had utterly failed to

A Borvllo press has always been ready to
misrepresent und malign executive ofilccrs
who have refused toacKiiowlodgomiy higher
authority than thu law , the expressed public
will and their own conception of duty. This
abuse has oven been carried so far that tbo
editorial columns of leading dallies have
been prostituted by tlio insertion of mull-
clous ilrades wrlttop by railroad managers
uud railroad tutcrneyH ; and the iuct that

attributed to the good Judgment and safe In

It is probably true that railroad managers
iave lost much of their former Inlluenco In
> olitics. As their means of corruption have
jecomo generally known they have become
ess effective. The public Is nioro on tbo

llutcher Summary at Ills Itccorcl.
llcliable information has boon received
at the headquarters of the Department
f Colorado that iho notorious Indian
iesporndo , the Apache Kid , is hiding in
ho vicinity of the San Carlos resorva-
ion. The military authorities have no
grievance agalnht the Kid and arc not
mi-suing nim , though both otllcers and
) rivates would llko to clap bracelets on
lis wrists and divide the reward. It is
lie civil authorities that thirst for the
vid'B crimson lluid. llo U wanted for
at least live murders , and it is rcason-
ibly certain if cornered ho will die with
'
'its'clout on.
Since Goronimo nnd his hnir-lifting
gang wore run out of Arizona and Into
: aj tlvity , no redskin has created such
uivocas the Kid. Ho IB a thoroughbred
Apache , inheriting the bloodthirstiness
of the race , coupled with biilllciunt edu
cation nnd experience among the whites
to render nutfvo craftiness doubly dan-
crous.
The Kid is now 30 years old. Ho
ourncd his > ( tlio Kid" '
war nanio as by
murdering four bquaws when but 10
yearb of ago. This was in 1870. The
< cano of the slaughter wai near Han
Carlos , and the Imtohory was most
UrocioiiH. lie was captured by a de
tachment of the Third cavalry and taken
to Fore Whipplo and placed in the guard
lioiiho. Storio walls and iron bars wuro
not strong enough to hold Iho youthful
desperado and ho mndo his escape bo-
foi-o lie could bo brought to trial.
llo was next heard of ut the head of a
famuli band on the harder of .Mexico ,
stealing cattle and incidentally murder
ing -v few out-of-the-way ranchmen.
Year after year until 18SU ho gave the
army pcoplo Homo trouble , which linally
ended in another atrocious murder.
Near Fort Bawlo , Ariz. , the Kid and
his band ( low down on the ranch of
.John Caldwell , drove oil the stock and
loft t'ohind them the dead bodies of
Caldwell , his wife and two children.
The murder created great indignation
throughout Arizona and Now .Mexico ,
and troops at once started from Fort
( Jrant to pumuo the murderers.
The Kid and his band wcro chased
over a largo portion of bout-hum Now
.Mexico and Arizona and dually cup-
Hired on the border. Ifo and his band
were disarmed and removed to .Sun Cur
ios. The civil authorities at once
claimed the body of the Kid , and aftoi
communicating with the War depart
ment the army authorities turned liin
over to Shoritl' Reynolds. The propel
action , as afterwards turned out , \voul <
have been to have killed him on capture
Kherltl Reynolds and a POBS > O of three
men started from San Curios to take the
renegade to Yuiim , where they Intondcc
to place him inthe-penHonthu-y toawnl
trial , The BUcrUI uud his miu hud
iardly got beyond the reservation linn
. 'hen they wore attacked by a number ol
ndians , who liberated the young mur-
eror and ruthlessly slaughtered th <
'iiards. The Kid , it is said , killed tha
horilT with a knife , and the Indium *
ook ilendish dcligiit in mutilating tha
cumins of the white men.
Since this exploit the Kid has enjoyed
us liberty. lie was chased across tlm
exican line and remained concealed in
he mountains for nearly two years. ITo
vns bo.vond the power of all authority.
In 1801 ho was driven out of Mexico liy
he Sonora Indians , and ho hud the an-
luoity to visit the San Carlos agency
and steal a squaw. Ho had boon for
'cat's in.tho Mexican hills and hud nol
astod the sweets of domesticity , and al- i-
hough ho has an unfortunate Intuit oi (
nnrdcring bquaws , Htill ho iinod ) for a 1
ompanlon and lie risked all to gratify
ila desire. As soon as this lastdcprodai
ion bc amq known troops went on Ma ,
rail and the chase became so warm that . *
ho Kid had to abandon his now ucqulsi- { ,
ion. She * was found alive in an aban * * r'
loncd camp , to the wonder of the troops. t
U is thought the Kid did not have time. \
0 artistically butcher her. {
Not long ago Kid was on tlio Animas f
aneh , in the southern part of Now I
exico. llo was getting away from
roops at the timo. Dean Duke , supor-
ntondont of the Diamond A outfit , drove
1 line time right past Kid's ambush , but
vas not molested. An hour later one of
Juke's cowboys , who was hunting dcor ,
ml iho bad luck to got in Kid's way in ;
iiieh a manner that Kid could not avoid
ncutlng him and Kid nhot the cowboy. ?
Kid Htoals Diamond A horses when ho
wants a mount , hut the horhos generally
iomo homo again after a while , and nsu-
illy pretty well worn out. Halt the sad-
lie horses on the ranch have been strad-
llcd by Kid at one tlmo or another. Ono
lorso , famous now on the ranch , Old
Ooorgo , was unrtor Kid last Hprlng.
ICU1 turned him loose down in
Chihuahua , and Old George , lume
and Roro-backcd , trudged a weary ,
ISO miles homeward , and neighed
ono night at the carral gate for iidmls
sion. Kid stele a lot of horses from tha
lower ranch a few weeks ago and u
troop of cavalry from Fort Bayard haa
gone down that way to look for him.
Tlio last time the troopers saw Kid down
on the Animus ho was up among some
rocks where they couldn't got at him ,
and ho put his thumb to his nose ami
wiggled ills lingers. The languutro
with which ho accompanied tlu godturu
was more forcible than pollto.
In April last his presence at Sail
Carlos was again reported and an effort
was made to arrest him , but ho coiihi
not bo found. That ho is now on th j
agency has been definitely ascertained ,
and as long us ho remains peaceful 1m
will bo left undisturbed. Major ChufTen
holiovot that the Indian has ut lusi
grown tired of being chusoduid wuntH
to onil his days in pence. Ho Is remain
ing carefully concoulo'J and his friends ;
provide him with rations , furnlbhod in
munificence by the Grout Father in
Washington. Tlio price hot on Jib head
amounts to $10,000.
