RAIL ROADS MONOPOLIES.
We believe it «os !!><• Louden Turn
that said “tho boasted ILpabiRun gov
ernnient of the United States is t bop
tnrchy ro’od by even rail road Kings ” j
Ph« allegation is but too true, and bo- !
ing true is a!arming. With largo pro
j erty ui ler their control these jay?ics i
have not defied tho laws when passed, j
-ut have approached the executive,
indicia! ami legislative sources of law,
and have naught to sanctiiy their crimes
with tho coloring of right. Parties and
partisan exigencies have been opportu¬
nities fir success to lb; ni. and have
furnished (ho conditions necessary to
form strong coalitions. They have
been welcomed into tho camp of both
tho great parties as tho Indians wore !
i-ito tho camps of both Uie British and !
\meriean armies during tho. revolution
war. And . s tho bomb; mam of their
ivago allies wore in that case alter¬
nately demmuced by tories and whigs,
so these no les. bourbons and relentless
•biefs have been it. turn'denounced by
both Republicans and Democrats. Both
parties and all tho people feci that tho
existence ; nd present status, of these
great corporations.are a constant men¬
ace to the best interests of tho commu¬
nity. Many of tho States to meet the
danger have erected Rail Road com**
missions to take the oversight of these
great organizations. Georgia has a
Rail Road commission. Rail road mon¬
ey is being used thrdugh certain jour¬
nals to attack ,4ho law ‘creating this
commission. Some journals aro not
[raid in money to make the attack, but
are incited by local interests and per¬
son rd influences. They and tkair nec¬
essary colleagues are constantly prating
about (ho 'Mights” in tho caso, and
‘•justice - ’ etc. Now we have simply to
answer, the State has a right to regu¬
late anything, oven private property, if
its use threatens her prosperity. Every
mau and corporation has a right to, use
bis property as ltd pleases, so long as
his use of it does not conflict with tho
public woal —and no loDger.
They tell us that rail road property
is just like any other property. We
answer ihat this is the very question
wo are debating, and the simple affirm¬
ation of one of tho disputants does no!
Kettle it. But as S, matter of fact, evo-.
rybody knows i.i-U.it Is mot just like
any other property. It is a public cat
tier, and is subject to alltbo principles
of common law, ailYctiiig such-- More¬
over it has special privileges before the
statute law. An individual can not
compel mo to .sell him my property. A ,
rail road for purposes of right of way, |
‘ “ ’ |
when , I , refuse . tojsell .. can conoaom , :
property and taka it. It is useless to
multiply points of diiibreuco. Nothing'
can be simpler than that tbefo are very
material . , differences ,, between railroad , !
f j
property and other property, unless it j
is the head ut a mau who cant under- j
j* , „ I j
ihoy talk or 'vested , , rights.’ .. , , ., Wo ...
answer, the people bad some vested I
rights in this country before rail roads
were bait. Unless we gro ' to respect j j
Sacrealy ,, the . rights . , c-t
more acquire-, al
wealthy few than we do tho material !
rights of a toiling multitude. then there j
is no force in this plea. This plea - of
“vested , riguts" . , has been , so frequently . , |
perverted to the defense of Shy lock 8
and Ex" rtiorii;rs that wo have begun
to diotri’.-.t any scheme which employs ,t.
' *
It , is . the node ,, prosequi escapement ol all „
that crowd of rouges who sock to make
theft respectable by'ranking it lawful.
Wo coni mood to {heir consideration
the following couplet. What it lacks in
poetic merit and precision it makes up
in round philosophy;
“What thief e'er thinks well of the
ia w
When be feels the baiter draw.”
Wo Mo at a loss to kuow why so
many lunatics have just arisen to a
sei se of uirty, and that commands are
g.veu them to kill some of our best and
most imp ■< ant men, such as tho Proai
df nt, Secretary Blaine, &c. This is
something very mysterious to us, but
wo have our opinion notwithstanding,
w hether right a wroug.
A seems that Secretary Blaine is ve¬
ry deeply affected in consequence of the
ata. asioation of Mr. Garfield.
THE RAILROAD
Since a short communication a few
weeks ago in reference t > our railroad,
nothing more haf been said. Tbore
to bo very little energy in that'
direction except a little wind work in
sotno shady corner.
Thoro is no doubt as to the charter
being granted; but tho greatest diffi
culty is in getting the people suJTicient
ly aroused to get them so subscribe to
the road. They scorn to bo hard to
convince of ’‘the fa«t. that it would
greatly enhance their property—that it
would bring ’capital- into the county,
and that tho farmers would, have a
ready cash market for all their surplus
productions, vHiicfi, in a few years
would be immense. There is not a
man residing in tho county who could
not afford to givo five dollars to this
enterprise, no matter bow limited
his means. Suppose that every mau
five dollars for evory hundred
dollars worth of property, it would sc
™ re tho ri « ht of way and survey tho
road and leave considerable surplus.
Let us do that. Let us convince tho
world that wo need tho road- that wo
want it and that wo jntencf to have it;
then tho trouble is over—there is no
room to doubt theT'oad paying,, for, in
a vogy short tiruo White.county will be
a first class cotton growing county, be¬
sides its excellent grain growing quali¬
ties -the vast amount of valuable tim¬
ber—its inexhaustible minerals, is suffi¬
cient to convince capitalists that
tho road will pay a handsome dividend,
and they would bo ready and anxious
to take hold and complete tho road.
A3 tho charter is almost certain to be
granted, let ns go forward—take hold
in earnest, and if wo meet with opposi¬
tion oxert tho more energy and we aro
hound to succeed. Don't one wait for
another, but let us go to work at once.
If wo would accomplish anything wo
must go to work and continue until tho
work is done. More in future.
TEMPERANCE* LAW ENDORSED.
Tho Kansas Medical Society, Topoka,
have endorsed the temperance laws in
that Stale. We give the following
from the Augusta (Ark.) Republican:
At the recent meeting of the "Kansas
Medical Society, Topeka, tho commit¬
tee on “state temperance law,' consist¬
ing of l)rs. Root, Oliver, and Jones,
reported an endorsement of tho law,
which report was adopted. We clip
the following from tho report of tho
proceedings of the society:
Dr. Root moved that tho society adopt
as their views Ihe following extract
from tho address of tho president.
Tho state tetuporauco law lately pass¬
ed by tho legislature, has one require¬
ment objectionable many physicians,
viz; The taking of an oath prior to
prescribing any alcohol stimulants.
This alone should not, it seems to me,
be objected to,, for while it may seem
at tirstfsjght to rcllect upon those who
are beyond suspicion, it is well to re
merubor that laws are made not for tho
ru iy and those obedient to the law, but
for the law breakers.
It is required of tho president of the
united States that he take tho oath
yf office, but wo have no doubt that
without it he would faitbfiHy perform
the duties of his office. *-The require
mont does not of necessity filler a sue
piclous evasiyn yf the* law without it.
Let uses h^in.Rbo pto.8iCf.ns studv tho efforts
of lhe uic^st workers in
obedience tw it, - v -
Dr, Needy, of Leavenworth, moved
‘Mjonrn, but was ruled but «>! order
by tho chair,
]jr, Rogeboon moved tho prcvibt.s
question.
The motion of Dr, Root then provail
c A? Ironi h "‘* appluuse. too above u Is evident that tho
temppranco law is favorably understood
by'the medical fraternity generally. Of
course any one living in Leavenworth
atytmrig ' vou, i ^. oil else. jcct t<» Now it—nobody the Supreme expected
Court
will go ahead and sustain tub law and
interpret its meaning and applications
as to druggists and others, tho drug¬
gists will then take out the necessary
poimits, the physicians will comply , |
with the law, the well-meaning, law
abiding, and true patriotic citizens will 1
settle into their former peaceful business
relations, and the old soaks and consti¬
tutional grumblers will either stop then
imbeefie ravings or leave the state, and
their places be supplied by good citi¬
zens. The amendment cau not bo re¬
pealed under four years aud tho sooner
its oppenents realize the fact, and de¬
cide to abide by the consequences the
letter for all concerned.
The New York legislature is still
making a spectacle of itself. “The
plantation manners” of those Stalwart
bourbons is disgusting Doubling aud
Platt ought to bo shipped over to Bos¬
ton and divorced. They are tho fellows
that produced the hall breeds.
WHO SAW IT FIRST ?
Tho question of who discovered the
prison t comet has become a most mo-,
mo a tous one. Over 500 persons have
laid claim to the honor aud tho Warner
Prize of $200, and all of them are
wdhin comparatively tho same time.
It is desirable that no injustice be done
in this matter, and to this end all par
ties who saw tho comet during tho week
ending June 2oth, or previously, will 1
ploaso forward their . claims . without . . do
lay to Prof. Swift, ’ Director of tho
Warner ... Ooservatory, . Rochester, , , N. \.
It is certain the discovery was made by
a private individual, but who that iudi
victual is remains to bo seen. i
Tho assassination of the President;
bas caused much excitement and indig-!
nation throughout tho whole country. 1
Attempts' will, and no doubt are now
being made to make it appear that tho
assassin is a lunatic. If tho assassina-,
tion was a plot and a bossed job, it was |
no doubt the intention of the boss to j
be President (in effiect), but we do hope
that things imiv so turn out that this
low, vilo plot may bo so thoroughly ex¬
posed as to defeat it in every particular.
Of courso wo do not know that it was
a plot, but eveu tho breezes that fan
our cars seem to say that a villainous,
dastardly scheme had boon concocted
(or the accomplishment of tho hclish
deed.
-Tho dispatches say Hon. Emory Speer
has gono ovor to tho Republicans, and
that his going was a la Mahone. Edi- 1
tor Waterman of tho Athens Banner
denounces the statement an lalse. Wa
terman is a careful man and a truthful
man. We will wait and sec what we
see, only saying at this time if Emory
should try to play Mahone in - Georgia,
the Ninth District will 'pixadjnst" him.
certain. In fact wo might-go the whole
length of tho readjuster platform aud
“ repwdiate ” him.
A dispatch from San Francisco to the
Courier-Journal, dated July 3d, says:
The press comments on tho assassin
nation concur in considering the act
that of a lunatic, but generally agree
that the fatal results of tho President's
wound is likely to change tho whole
face of national politics and turn the
Administration over to tho Stalwarts,
with Uonkling as President de facto,
A telegram dated July 5tu, clearly
indie.to that Guiteau, the assassin of
President Garfield is not a lunatic.
At II o'clock, a. m., July 5th, the
condition of the President was favor¬
able. lie was resting quietly aud com¬
fortable.
A telegram of (ho same date announ¬
ces that another insane possessed of a
devil, claiming to be from King William
cmnty Va., announcing that ho had
been inspired by God to go to Washing¬
ton and kill Secretary Blaine. This
Stalwart tool was at once arrested.
l T p to 10 o’clock a. in., July (>th, tho
condition of tho President continued to
grow more favorable.
