ROSEWATER, Editor. Ir looks as 1f Whittaker's ecars might again become topics of general | conversation in military circles, Tur: Cannon caso comes up in con- | leaves to the states the duty of regu Iating transportation which is solely within their boundaries, together with the franchises and privileges of the corporations operating lines of railronds doing business in the state. Such right of regulation is admitted corporations and can be exer- by legislative authority. But beyond no single legislature can go the confines of the state and pass laws which will be binding upon corporations in other | tates, and from this inability arises the necessity for such a bill as ssman Rea that introduced hy Cor gan. This measure does not propose to regulate freight rates by law, or to| ot he | v diminshed by the ra ostablish fised rates, which cs inereased il way manager Its prime object is to abridge the monopoly powers of the corporations, and to provide reme- | dies by which the most flagrant abuses of the corporations may be done away with.

It is safe to say that some will be slighted. tial succession, and A rEW years ago the death of Rich- ard Henry Dana would have created a profound sensation throughout the country. How easily public men are forgotten is seen from the fact that Mr. Dana’s death, which occurred on Sunday in Italy, has called forth only a few lines of obituary in the journals of the day, while to thousands of their readers his name and fame are unknown or have passed from their recollections. In his day Mr. Dana was one of the most distinguished ad- vocates and constitutional lawyers in the United States, For many years he was United States district attorney at Boston, and during the war formu- lated the law respecting captured prizes, which has since been accepted as the sole authority governing such cases in this country. He will be more generally remembered as the ed- itor of Wharton's International Law, “Two Years Before the Mast,” and as one of the founders of the free soil party. Mr. Dava was sixty-seven years old at the time of his death. CONGRESSIONAL REGULA- TION OF RAILWAYS. Mr. Reagan, who for the past seven years has been an earnest and untir- ing worker in the anti-monopoly ranks, shows nosigns of flagging in his purpose to push into prominence in the present congress his bill for the regulation of inter-state commerce in the United States. It is highly im- portant that every producer in the west #hould be fully informed of the nature and contents of this important measure, the principles upon which it is founded, and the ends which it proposes to accomplish. This is all the More necessary because the mon- opoly organs, both cast and west, have been endeavoring to pervert its meaning and distort its provisions into a dangerous attack upon the ag- ricultural supremacy of certain por- tions of the country far removed from the seaboard, The inter-state commerce bill is founded ou the assumption that con. gress has the sole power to regulate commerce between the states on con- tinuous or connecting lines of railroad. It does not assume to assert that con- gress can regulate the railroads of the United States as far as their fran- chises and corporate rights are con- cerned, This power has not been conferred upon it by the constitution and s, therefore, within the province of state legislatures, But the consti- tution has granted to congress the power to regulate inter-state com- merce upon railroads and the su- (premecourt has time and again de- lowed in any case. ing and meets the “long and short haul” | It prohibits pool- between competing companies, question in the same manner as was done by the last Nebraska leg by forbidding any company or corpo- ation to charge more for a shorter than or a longer distance on the Finally the Reagzan bill provides that rates of charges shall be posted up conspicuously in every de- pot and that such table of rates shall be rigidly adher notice of all changes being given to the public, These are the leading provisions of the Reagan bill which in a modified form, passed the forty-fifth congress by thirty-five votes, Gen. Garfield being one of its principal nupporters. The means which it provides for the enforcement of its features are ample and thorough. The violation of any of ns is made a vic of the law, punishable by triple dam- ages in a civil action, with judgment ature, same hand. ud to, due and public its provi ion in nocase for a less sum than $500. In addition a civil remedy is provided by action through the public prosecu- tion, conviction to bo followed by judgment for mot less than §1,000. Thirdly violation of the provisions of the law is made a penal offense, to he prosocuted in tho courts, and in caso of conviction the judgment is not to bo leas than $1,000, Tt will be seen from this resume of Mr. Reagan’s bill that his measure proposes to attain four objects, viz: to prevent unjust discrimination be- tween individuals, to prohibit rebates and drawbacks, to restore competition by forbidding pooling, to prevent un- just discrimination between commu- nities on long and short distances over the same haul, and, in short, to abridge those dangerous assumptions of power which have made the monop- olies such formidable oppressors of every class of citizens in the country, When such a measure becomes a law the responsibility for regulating the railroads within tho states will st1ll remain with the various state leg- islatures, Mr. Reagan's bill is sim- ply intended to reach abuses with - which the separate states have found it mpracticable to deal and which could never be suc- cessfully graopled with except by a perfect concert and union between the various legislatures which could never be attained in the face of mon- opoly opposition. It remains to be seen whether under the present ar- rangement >f committees in the house of ropresentatives Mr. Reagans meas ured backed by thousands of potitions from voters and tax-payers of the country can be successfully smotherod before the constituents of the mem bers of the house have an opportun- ity of taking note of the votes of their representatives on a measure of so0 much importance to the country.

Any one familiar with the heavy oil developments knows that a goodly part of the drilling is done ou the hill nown as the ‘‘Point,” near Franklin, It rises from the bank of French Creek in a very abrupt manner. Philip Grossman's brewery is situated at the foot of South Park street, on the west side of the creek, His beer vault is on the other side. It isan immense vauit, blasted out of the sol- id rock, and penetrates into the hill side mnearly one-hundred foet. In this aro stored large quantitios of lager beer. The casks that hold the beer contain on an average about ten bar- rols cach. One cask in the rear end of the vault is used as a supply cask. All the others are connected with this one by pipes, and the supply cask be- ing sunken, is always kept full ot beer. The hill at this place is so steep that it caunot be ascended. Above this vault, on the hill-top, Rial & Son own a lease, They drilled a number of wells on their lease, an they were all profitable. Some tima ago they located No. 9 directly this beer vault. The rig was built, and things ran along in the usual manner for about a week. When they had reached a depth of 490 feet, 200 feet less then whero they usually find the sand, the drill struck a crev- iceo, and dropped away several feot. The tools were withdrawn from the hole, and the bailer run, It cameo up seemingly full of oil. Buil us they would they could not exhaust the supply. They decided to tube the well, “and were o dered to do so by Mr. Rial. ‘The next day the well was tubed without being shot. They com- menced to pump it, and threw the tluid out at a great rate. Noticing something queer about the oil, one of the men tasted it. He found it so good that he put his lips to the pipe and took long gulps of the delicious stuff. First one and then another drank. They became what is known as drunk. e owners visited the well, drank and were overcome. Op erators came up to see it, drank, and were overcome. The people of the town who heard of it went up the hill, drank, and were overcome, Littlo by little they came to realize what they had been drinking. One wan was found in the crowd who had tasted beer before. Heo aflirmed that it was beer, but they laughed at him, How would this Rip Van Winkle elixir get into the bowels of theearth! At last they decided to call undaubted {authority on the beer question, and sent for Philip Grossinan, Grossman ue. He tasted it once, twice, and {then he tore his hair. ‘s it beer they asked. *‘Beer! Yes, it's mein own make.

The Railway Consolidations. ago Tribune, The yoar 1882 becins with at least 100,000 miles of railway in operation in the United States The year just closed was prolific in the construction of new and short roads, mainly in- | tended as connections between other roads, and serving to make the gen eral network more perfect and com- plete. Huundreds of points heretofore not connected by rail have been drawn into direct communication by exten- sions, by short comnccting lines, } icher, and by spur thus more closely uniting the older and settled parts’ of the country in the general plan of railway trans portation. The year has been also re- markable for the great progress in the work of consolidating the hitherto scattered and disconnected lines.and grouping them in large systems. Tn- stead of innumerable companies ope rating comparatively small railways, involving all manner of independent governments, the tendency has been to gather all these small and inde- pendent corporations and consolidate them. Several hundreds of these once independent and generally bank- rupt corporations have been absorbed, « bought outright and merged into larger organizations, which control entire systems of railways. Of the 100,000 miles of railway now in the United States at least 80,000 miles may be said to belong to or be con- trolled by not exceeding ten or a dozen governments, each directing a complete system. The New England railways are fast passing into few directly under the control of one or the other of the great corporations whose center is at New York. The great New York Central has extended its control, reaching in every direction from New York City to the Rocky Mountains. It may be called the northern and northwestern system. It bas swallowed up a great many once independent corporagions. The Grand Trunk is rapidly becom- ing the center and controlling power of the Canadian system, reaching far into the west The Pennsylvania railway system is of itself a grand coneolidation of railways, all greuped, by whatever name, under one general government. The trunk line, the New York, Chicago & St. Louis rail- way, nas in like manner been picking up parts of railwaye, and uniting disconnected lines, “reducing them to a system of railways all under one control, The Baltimore & Ohio com of itself the government of system, extending from New York and Baltimore, through Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, and Indiana to Chicago and St. Louis, The Chesapeake & Ohio is extending its conmections west and south, con solidatiy other companies, and by new connections utilizing other previ- ously unprofitable concerns. The southern railways from the Potomac to the Gulf have heen passing through the consolidation process, and are be- coming strengthened by being placed under one contro), The southwestern states have had their railways extend- N A e I TR G and complete system. The lan«-iu Central connecting New Orleans with St. Louis, Chicago and Omaha, with the states it supplies, is a system of intornal transportation of of the most utmost importance.

Winans of Baltimore has founded an immense deer forest m Scotland. These shooting grounds are said to be sixty miles in length, and are among the largest and finest in the country. The monster ‘‘cigar ship” which Mr. Winans recently completed on the Clyde cost about $1,000.000. 1t is believed by her owner that she will be able to cross the Atlanticin five days. This is the third vessel of the same type that Mr. ‘Winans has built. The other two are much smaller, and are well known to all who frequent the Solent in the summer. It is understood that the by the falling walls, the fire cost over $2,000,000. Under these circumstances, says London Truth very truly, it is fortunate for Mr. Winans that he is a millionaire. Few private palaces in London are more splendid than that of Mr Winans in Kensington Palace Gardens, Tt i not so imposing, externally, as § Albert Grant's nor as Mr. Sassoon’s, the East Indian nabob, but it con- tains as much splendor inside as any of them, The first carpet that was put down was a magnificent Axmins- ter, made to order, and costing hun- dreds of dollars; but this did not suit Mr. Winaos's taste, so he ordered the nd, ard had it put down right over the first.

Investigating the Pretended Claims of Land Sharks in Southern Nebraska, The Right of the Settlors Defonded ! Sorrespond ice of Tk Dk LiscoLy, Neb., January 9, —The committee of which Senator Van Wyck was chairman and which was ointed in consequence of a reso lution introduced by him to investi- sate the matter of the titles between the St. Joe & Denver railroad and the people living along its line, met in first of the after a thorough investigation, in this city on the month, | and witnesses were ex- the set of that by & nanimous opinion sharpers for the pu itful earned homes pose of ¢efrauding their hard- It appears that this t with ent at - Washington and was granted a contingent right to the odd numbers of sections of land 1g its line. This land, by some the 1i owuers of rilroad filed a its lands the land departn al cause, was not withdrawn from the market, and consequently in time was largely taken up by settlers, who ived patents for the same and sup- posed, of course, that their ti- tles were good. After these patents had been given the railroad filed its claim for the land, and in several instances the courts have de- cided that their claim was valid. In such a case it certainly leaves the set- tlers, who have worked for years to build a home, in rather an unpleasant position, and this committee’s object is to devise some manner to relieve them. The statements of several witnesses showed that no claim was made by the railroad company until after the decision of Judge Miller, which was in tavor of the railroad, and supposed to have been brought up to form a precedent for their further carrying out of this scheme to rob the rightful owners. When the St. Joe road passed into the hands of a re- ceiver, William Bond, Haasler and Butterworth were appointed ‘ trustecs, and vested with the power to dispose of said lands, which was accordingly done, and largely bought by Krieval, who purchased 15,000 acres, Parker 8,000 to 10,000 acres, and®8,000 to 10,000 acres went into Mitchell's hands, and these are the men who are endeavoringto defraud honest work men out of their homes. The St. Joe railrond passed into the hands of the St. Joe & Denver ratlroad, who lay no claim to the lands, but, on the con- trary, is determined to do all in its power to do justice to the settlers: The St. Joe railroad never paid the taxcs on the lands, which not only have been paid by the occupants, but improved so that that which when $4 an acre is now held at $20 to $25, and yet these sharpers have the au- dacity to step in and claim the land, which they never paid a cent of taxes on, and in fact never owned. They have so far succeeded in their unscru- pulous work as in some cases to have actually frightened the settlers into paying a second time for their land If these men actually thought that they owned these lands, why did they not push their claims some time ago? But, no; they would not make enough by that, but preferred to wait until the improvements were made and the land increased to a good price, and now, as that time has arrived, they have commenced their dirty work, which is against all laws of decency and honor and enough to cause any true citizen to blush with shame. These settlers have fol- lowed out every law laid down by their contract, and there is no loop- hole of neglect on their part; and un- der these circumstances it certainly seems as if a patent granted by the United States should stand supreme and proof against any assault or de- ion of the courts. The men who claim to own the lands should appeal to the United States, who, if any per- son is to blame, is the culprit, and not the innocent, hard-working set- tlers who have spent their all and ex- hausted their strength in preparing a home for themselves and their little ones. For the sake of humanity con- gress should and no doubt will exam- in the peaceful possession of their lands and from the assaults of un- scrupulous persons, D.
