M. Wllwn is truthfully portrayed by the Pimes as & political mountebank who, from being an outspoken champion of the monopolies, has suddenly become & granger enthusiast.

Tt When anything happens to Jay Gould the world never takes a wink of sleep until he is safe. What a hubbub wasraised over the threaten- ing letter which he received! Most of our readers have at loast in Hush times liad these little positive de- mands on them for a million of dollars or their life within twenty-four hours, and thought nothing of it. But Mr. Gould s not to trifled w asses it over to his broker, ealls in the postmaster of Now York, the postmaster-general of the United Stat the metropolitan t| polico authorities, fifty postmen and fifty detectives to hunt the raacals down.

For some years ho has had no business but speculation, and his friends say he has often acted wildly and strangely at times of speculative exciteme They have of late re- garded him as “off the handle ” His efforts to blackmail Gould, however, have been 8o cunning that it will be difficult to arouse much sympathy for him as a “crank.” He has worked up his insanity by speculative indulgences, as Guiteau did his seeking oflice and cultivating lis own vanity. 1f both men had had some honest occupation to buckle down to every day, there would have been no trouble with their wits, Tue notorious desperado, Ed. Max- well, who had been captured in Grand Island a week ago and brought to Omaha on his way to Wisconsin, was summarily lynched by a mol Satur- day, in broad daylight, within a few moments after he had been arraigned for the crime of murder before the court. Oa the same day, and almost at the same hour, an attempt was made at Washington to cut short the career of President Garliold’s as while he was bel win conveyed from the court house to jail. While mob rule and the taking of life without duo process fof law must be discountenanced by all law-abiding peaple, these incidents furnish n strik- ing proof of the growing distrust the American people entertain toward our judicial systom. The most dangerous criminals have timo and agan been acquitted by stupid or veual jurists cither upon technical pleas or corrupt in- fluences, Murderers about whose guilt there is not a shadow of doubr, have profitted by the law’s de- lay and after expensive and pro- tracted trials have gone scot free on olea of insanity. nstead of being regarded as the bulwark of social order, our courts frequently become the means of de- feating the onds of justice. Popular confidence in the speedy and summary punishment of criminals is weakened and lynch law is vesorted to as the surcst and swiftest means of ridding communitios of cowardly assassis Boxns under the lst treasury call continue to come in slowly. It is stated that owing to the continued ac- cumulation of money in the treasury Sceretary Folger will shortly issue a call for $20,000,000 or $50,000,000 of 3} per cente. to be paid after ninety days, at which time interest will cease, The over-abundance of mone is indi- cated by the reluctance with which capitalists part with bonds bearing such a low rato of interest us 3 per nt. —_— Tue attempts of the Omaha Hevald to pull the wool over the eyes of the public in palming off stale news through its columns as fresh matter is worse than rediculous, On Wednes- day Tue Bk published a dispateh from Milwaukeo announcing the sale of the Blair interest in the Chicago & Pacific to the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road, giving thaf road adirect line between Chicago and Omaha, On Friday the Ierald, in its editorial columns, pompously hinted that such asale was in contemplation, and on Saturday announced that its suspicions were correct, The Herald should publish its news as a weeklycontinued story.

The opening of the Denver Short line and its advantages in time and distance, has already diminished the passenger and freight traflic on the only competing line, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, in connection with " the Denver and Rio Grande. Thelatt ris a narrow guage road, buat a third rail has boen laid, making the socond line between Denver and Kan- sas City. A fast passenger train will be put on this line on the 1st of De- cember and the time cut down to thirty hours. 'T'his line, being entire- ly independent of the Gould roads, will undoubtedly secure a good share of businces. The Denver and Rio Grande will bo the first road to enter the Salt Lake valley direct from Denver. The road is narrow guago and is being pushed forward with remarkablo rapidi- ty. The grading of the lino botween Salt Lake City and 0 miles, will be vompleted in Provo, five weeks unless the winter proves Material rolling stock a unusually cold and stormy, of all kind and cumulating at thoso points. Tho road runs through Saliva pass to Clear crock, down through Clear creck canon to what is known as Cave Fork, Antelope Springs, Cove Springs and Cove City, where a junction will be formed with the California Central railroud, At this point o large mon- ufacturing city will be fostered, as the coal and iron fields in the vicinity aro inexaustible. A force ot 1,600 to 1,800 men are at work in the Utak division. The Black canyon will be the theatro of opera- tions this winter, as the cempany will concentrato all available men at that point, The Gunnison Democrat says the one great object of the company is to get the road comploted by the time the B. & M. reaches Denver. This would give it an eastern outlet shorter than that of any competition. The company has sccured all the passes and canyons from Salina to Iron City, Utah, monopolizing every picce of land broad enough for two roads, to prevent competition in the future. This road will be a great boon to both Salt Lake City and Donver and inter- mediate towns and the vast mineral belt tributary in both Colorado and Utah, besides a paying investment for the owners.

President Villard, of the Northern Pacifte, has closed a contract with Thos. Lidison for the construction of fitty miles of railroad in Minnesota, to test the practicability of electricity as a motive power. The road is to be built next spring, and should the ex- periment fail the greater portion of the cost will fall upon Mr. Edison. The 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.
