RAILROAD OSTRUSIVENESS.
There is a loud demand from many
quarters, that is constantly increasing in
volume, for the placing of the railroad
systems of this country under" the con
trol of the government. While such a
change would undoubtedly be surroun
ded with many difficulties yet the trend
of the public opinion is unquestionably
in that direction, and the time may not
be far distant, when those who now
ridicule the thought, may be led to take
a different view. All the great political
labor confederations make governmen
tal control of onr railroads and tele
graphs, a plank in their platforms. Kor
is this to le wondered at. Great and
manifold as have been the benefits ac
cruing to the nation through their means
their power for political and financial
mischief ban , been equally great. The
amount that these systems spend every
year for corrupt purposes must be im
mense. They buy np judges and juries,
till tha difficulty of a poor man 'getting
common justice, where a railroad com
pany is defeudent, has? in many instan
ces, become proverbial. If judges and
juries cannot be bought, their corporate
wealth secures delays that the poor man
cannot' brook. Their hired attorneys
and lobbyists are in every' legislature,
and in every committee 'of every legisla
ture, where work, in their' interest, is
needed to be done.' It is scarcely so
true that they buy up legislatures as it
is 'that' they own them. No measure
beneficial to the masses can "possibly be
carried, if it is, at all disadvantageous
. to them. .Is it a railroad couimiHSlon,
or legislation tending to increase a com
mission effectiveness for good ; then
they will demand and obtain, not open
ly, it is true , but through the secret
working that they know so well, either
a good law with a corrupt ' commission,
or a good commission and an inefficient
law. The one will serve their purpose
quite as well as the other, and one or
other they must have. Their influence
is all pervading, from the political prim
ary to the White House. Is it a ques
tion of competition, then, their immense
moneyed power will crush, where it can
not by off. Is U the opening of a great
river to free navigation, where they have
monopoly and control then heaven and
earth must be compassed for its defeat.
There is a monotony in this obtrnsive
ness. The massess are sick and weary
and disgusted. No wonder, therefore,
that the more radical, always the van of
the army of reform, are demanding gov
ernment control.
THANKS.
"It is due to Major Handbury, the gov
'ernment officer, in charge of the construc
tion of the Cascade Locks, to say, that
-ever since he was first consulted, by any
persons having authority in connection
with the portage railroad, he has mani-.
tested the utmost cordiality, and his
perfect willingness to co-operate with
the state, in the furtherance of that
work. When the joint committee of the
two states met at Portland, hia full
knowledge of all matters relating to the
depth of water below the lower gate of
the locks, where the western terminus of
the portage must be looted, the difli
culties connected with securing a good
wharfage, and the practicapability, and
probable cost of the road, were of great
service to our committee, in settling all
difficulties raised by those who were
apparently working in the interest of
parties opposed to the- portage railroad,
lie even went beyond this in suggesting
that the general government should
build the road, because of the advantages
they, themselves, might derive from it ;
and when the portage commission lately
conferred with him in Portland, he eon
firmed these assurances of his good will
by suggesting to them also that the gov
ernment " build " "a good 1 substantial
standard gauge road," so that the $60,000
appropriation might be exclusively de-
voted to wharves and rolling stock. For
these courtesies Major Handbury . de
serves, the cordial thanks of the people
who expect to profit by the portage road,
and so far as the Chronicle may be per
mitted to speak for them, he has them.
THE PINKERTONS.
It is said that N ew" York is about to
pass an act making it unlawful for the
Pinkerfons to do business in that state.
We presume ft is intended to prohibit
them, not from acting as detectives, but
from exercising the functions proper to
a state militia. This is in every way as
it should oe. No private armed force,
not under state control, should ever be
permitted to supercede, or exercise the
function of a legally constituted militia.
Too often the Pinkertons have been' used
bvcorboratepowef.-for'the "purposes' of
oppressibnV The :bare possibility of. a"
body of men, irresponsible to the consti
tuted authbritieSj 'and' ' not under" their
control, being so used, is a simple out
rage. The states are, everywhere able,
on all ordinary occasions, to maintain
the Deace: But if not. there; is a
remedy, and this remedy is not the hir
ing of a- band -of irresponsible' mercen
aries to do a work, as it often happens,
that no state militia would stoop to do.
Mr. Jolinsoii's Version.
Tnk Dallbs, Or., March 11th 1891.
Editor Dalles Chronicle: In the
issue of the Times-Mounlaineer of- last
eVemne appears a' communication' or
"editorial," signed "Third House," in
which allusions are made to me person
ally in discussing the merits or provi
sions Of senate bill No. 20. l am at a loss
to know why my iiiurie should be publicly
connected with" a newspaper controversy
over a question whether Senator Hilton
had complied with the wishes of the
county court of Gilliam Co., in the' re
duction of the'Sheep Inspector's' salary:
So far as I am concerned, it is a matter
of no interest to me whether lie did or
did not ', but as a matter of record, it is
but fair to state'that the bill was' amend
ed so as to give the commissioners' court
authority to increase or decrease1 the
Inspector's salary, as, in-their judg
ment, the good of the public service may
require. "Third House" is in error,
however, in his statement' that "it went
to the governor among the very first bills
and received his signature at once.
The bill was not returned to the
senate from the house, till late on
the evening of February 20th and
gave the bill to Airs.' Lou Sampson',
(Senator Hilton's clerk,) for enrollment,
and it was not returned to me till the
morning session of February ' 21 st,: and
was then reported back from the ' com
mittee on enrolled bills, - -along with
Senate Bills Nos. 21, 94, 172 and 161, in
time to receive the signatures of the
speaker of the house and president of
the 'seriate, just' beforfe the final adjourn
ment. This all wise quill driver sriys
that Mr. Gonrlay, as clerk of Senator
Watkin's committee "should know
better than almost anyone whether1 this
bill was enrolled and sent to the ' gdver.
nor." In this he is mistaken too ; it was
nO part of Mr. Gourlay's duties to know
anything of the kind. He simply ' per
formed the clerical work " given him,
with neatness and dispatch, and . never
saw Senate Bill NoJ 20, nor did he know
who enrolled it: But it seems that Mr.
Gourlay was hot 'the only objective point
of attack of this contemptable vilifier,
who is too cowardly to sign his name to
the scurrilous article referred to, but
from the ehelter of his mask with
"sweetened venom sleeping got," char
ges the writer with having deserted his
post as chief clerk of the Senate Enroll
ing committee, and gone to Pendleton or
elsewhere armed, with warrants of
arrest for malcontents, for which he
added fees and milage to his salary as
clerk'. All of which is false, and with
out foundation in fact. The records of
the TJ. S. Commissioners' court at' The
Dalles and marshal's office at Portland
will show that I have "performed no
duties, and received no fees or emolu
ments as a Deputy U. S. Marshal,- since
January 17th, 1891 up to the first of the
present month, and my two . days ab
sence, while the legislature was in ses
sion, was in obedience to' a subpoena 1 to
appear as a witness in the LT.' S." circuit
court in the case of U. S. vs Stone ' &
Hyde, - February 2nd and 3rd, during
wnicn time tnere were no senate bills
in the hands of the committee for en
rollment,' as the receipts of O. P. Miller
chief clerk oi the senate wilt -verify. '

however, in the matter "of fecundity; the
g6tdf onorkep- the hives populous with

ones, although they may lay eggs for a

to Boot, 'the result of ' trying to raise a
queen when "there are too few" bees, or
when the larvie with which they are ob
liged to' reara 'queen' are too old that
is, too nearly ' ready to seal up: Pro
fessor Cook says that this lack of fecund
ity may be due to diaeaee, improper de
velopment Or to special race or strain.
The activity of the queen is governed
largely by the activity of the workers.
According to Professor ' Cook, as the
worker "befes feed the - laying -queen, it'is
more than 'probable that with no nectar

the queen is unable to produce the eggs,
Which demand a great amount of nutri

Queens begin to lay when about eight

American Cultivator saysi First cross
es with almost any standard breed of
fowl are pretty sure to produce good re
sults. The man who' makes' the" cross
knows the characteristics lie wishes to
breed to, and the cross generally secures
them. - But -these grade fowls, though
often valuable for i egg producing, .are
not trustworthy for breeding. Their
progeny are not graaes Dut mongrels.
Changing ' the ' males in a flock is often
advised, but if the new stock are mon
grels there will be little advantage from
this. : The flocks on 'farms all over the
country are largely of this mongrel stock,
and t his is one reason why so many have
poor success with poultry. 'Forty or fifty
years ago the common :dnnghill fowl in.
this "country,; though'"' originally infer-'
mixed," had; been inbred long enough? 'so
that it had become almost an established
breed.-: FeW, if any; or these' old fash
ioned fowls are now left anywhere. As
a. .consequence .the. introdtiction of new
blood in every flock not absolutely pure
bred is a 'necessity every twp or three
years, and in every case '. males ' of "pure
bloooV and so far as possible of the pre-'
dominant strain of the flock, should be
introduced for crossing. , '
