George Martin , a farmer living just west of Grlswold , on the border between Cass and Pottawattamle counties , was In the city yes terday and stated that about three weeks ago a gang of surveyors passed his farm. They ran a line directly through his property , anil when he remonstrated with them the foreman remarked that there was a railroad coming that way , and ho would get whatever his land was worth , If any of It was taken. The theory of these who are acquainted with ths facts Is that the Burlington is about to ex tend Its branch from Cumberland to this city , thus putting In a line through the cen ter of Pottawattamle- county from east to west. This sort of a move has been projected by the company for a long time past. Wo Unto ( < ut it Mire Thing.

IT FArOllKlt TIIK ( WL1 > 1IVOS. Altpcld Snrs tlio Inciima Tnr Decision Rhotvt tlio Illni of the Courf. SPRINGFIELD , III. , April 18. Governor Altgeld does not approve ot the decision of the United States supreme court regarding the Income tax law , In an Interview last night ho said the decision was biased In the Interest of the gold bugs and Wall street millionaires. Ho referred to the holding of the law to be void so far as It affects large real estate owners and the rich bondholders of the cast , and says this particular decision recognizes the divinity of wealth by exemptIng - Ing It from taxation and breathes a curse against enterprise by making it bear all the burdens of the government. "But , " says Altgeld , "It Is In harmony with that passage of scripture which says : 'That unto every one that hath shall be given , nnd from him that hath not , even that he hath shall be taken away from him ; ' and It Is In perfect accord with the republican nnd mugwump theory of government now being applied In this country. It shows that tlu Interests of the east are paramount to the Interests of the rest of the country ; also that at least two of the co-ordinate branches of our government receive their Inspiration at the same altar.

WASHINGTON , April 18. Senator Morgan was asked today for an expression regarding the report cabled from London that Sir Julian Paunccfote , the British ambassador , had forwarded to his government a full state ment of the facts In. the matter of the pay ment of the damages by this government for the seizure of British vessels and replied that he was perfectly willing to have the ques tion Investigated. "I have , " said he , "such confidence In the fairness and good judgment of the British House' of Commons that I feel that nothing can be lost by Its going Into the matter at length. I am very confident that an In quiry Into the merits of the claim , even on the side of the Paris award , will convince any one that the claims are entirely un founded , extortionate and wrong. " There Is reason , for believing that when this question of payment of the damages shall again come before congress the oppo nents of payment will make the point that the claims are barred from consideration by the terms of the Paris award. A membs-r of the senate who has given considerable attention to the seal question In all Its bearings said , In discussing the proposal to pay these damage - ago claims : "The principle's raised by the Bering sea awards destroy the claims of Great Britain' to damages , for the seizure of any shlpt which beforei the date of the award were found fishing within sixty miles of the Prlbyloff Islands , or In Bering sea , with guns , explosives or nets , or after May 1. to August 1 , In the Pacific ocean north of 35 degrees north latitude. Both governments are bound to accept the enunciations made by the Paris commission as the measure of their rights and duties on this subject , as applica ble not merely since the making of the award , but before. It was the just and equitable duty of Great Britain before the award was made to do just what the award required of that country toward the United States. " When Senator Morgan's attention was called to this view of the question ho declined on account of his connection with the Paris tribunal and with the senate to discuss It , saying It would be Improper for him at this time to do so.

The Denver Times yesterday , commenting on the sliver party movement , says : "Should no posi tive and unequivocal ground be taken by the republican party in 1S96 on the sUle of the free coinage of silver , It will then be time for our people to rise up nnd shake off a partisanship which would be nothing more than the most palpable political slavery. In other words , the republican party of Colorado will never abandon their party until they are driven from Its ranks by the injustice and shortsightedness of the men who control It.
