His name is Sherwin, and he halls from Fremont.

Why this man Gere ls the creature of the railroads, They made bim what ho le. They gave him whatever prominence he enjoys.

Your correspondent will aleo ask to lay before your army of readers, in this and futore missives, the vlews and senti- ments of Mr, Charles Francls Adams, the able and patrlotle cltlzen, on the transportatlon problem, which s demand- ing the attention of our natlon from cen- ter to clrcumference, and which Is alarm- ing to the moet thoughtful who ara jeal- ons of the perpetuity of free institutions and the rights of free men, and I will fain hop that the honest views of Mr. Adams as the citizen may be engrafted into the pollcy and management ot the great corporation ¢f which he now has contrel. He may now Inaugarate with the power which he weilda aa president of the Union Pacific railway that condi- tlon of affalrs in this country which exlats in Belglum by resson of government con- trol of one-third of the railways of that country (which control of the one-third really tixes the policy which the whole are compelled to pareue). I quote from Mr. Adams, and preeent tbe plcture as dreawn In his own faultlees langusgs, be- ginning with hla first cesay and from time to time will spread it before our people with the hope that it may result in arousing the 'masses to a slight ccnception of the grave reeponsi- bility resting upon them as contributors to the success and perpetuity of popular government. Mr. Adams says: “Nota generation hes patsed away in the last 60O years without cherishing a more or less earnest conviction that, through its ef- forts, something of the animal had been eliminated from the higher type of man! Probably, also, no generation has been wholly mistaken in nourlshing this faith, Even the worst has in some wsy left the race of men on earth better In something than it found them, And yet 1t would not be diflicult for another Roussean to frame a very ingenious and plausible ar- gument in support of the oppoalte view. *Scratch a Russian.’ sald the first Na- poleon, ‘and you will find a Coesack.’ Call things by their right names, and it would be no difficult task to make the cunning ocivillzation of the Nineteenth centary appear but asa hypocritical mank spread over the more honest brutality of the twelfth. Pirates are commonly sup- posed to have been hung out of exlstence when the Barbary powers and the buc- caneers of the Spanish-Main had been finally dealt with; yet ‘““free-booters” are not extinet; they have orly transferred thelr cperations to theland and conducted them in mcre or less accordance with the forms cf law, until at last 8o great a pro- ficlency have they attalned that the com- merce of the world is more equally, but far more heavily, taxed in thelr iahnll than would ever have entered Into thelr wildest hopes. While outside the law, they simply made ail comers stand and deliver; now, too, they no longer live in terror of the rope, skulking In the hidlng-place of thleves, but flaunt them- eelves in“fso resorts of trade and fashion, and disdainlog such titles as once satis- fied Ancient Pistol, or Captaln Machrath, they are even recognized ss president thls or colonel that. Certaln descriptiona of gambling has yeare sincs coated to be fashlonable. In this reepect a victory ls clalmed for advancing clvilization, Yet this claim would eeem to be unfouhded. Gambling is & business now where for- merly it was a dlsreputable excltement. Cheating at cards was always cisgraceful; transactions of a slmilar character under the euphonistic names of operating, cornering, ete., are not soregarded, Leg- islative bribery and corruptlon were within recent memory looked upon as misdemeanors peculiar to the perlod of Walpole and Fox, theic revival in the face of modern public opinfon was thought to be imposstble. A sad dela- slon was certalnly entertalned. Govern- ment and mioletries no longer buy the raw materlal of leglslation—at laast no. openly or with cash in hand. The same cannot be said of Indlviduals and corpor- ations, Judiclal venality and ruffianism on the bench were not long slnce tradi- tlons of remote past. Recent revelatlons have cast more than doubt upon the cor- rectness even of this assumption, The complete history of these proceedings cannot be written for the end is not yet; indeed such a hlstory probably, never will be wrltten and yet it ls still more probable that the events it would record can never be forgotten,” Your correspondent will ask permiseion to quote from Mr, Adams, In a serles of articles to the Bee, As henow holds the position of president of the Union Pacific meat should furnish mail facllittes for lees to the larger patrons of that department—that Is, soll stamps at whole- #nlo for less than whore only one, or a dczon are bought, The ssme rule would apply in one with as much justice as the other, for the simple resson that the rafl- roads are chartered by the people for the uso of all the people, and 1t not cqually to all alike, the very fundamental princl- ple upon which ounr whole government fabrlc is founded, must be undermined, as freedom and cquality in all things, not favorltism, where the power of the particalar thing created is derived from the government, state cr national, which is the people, must be granted.
