J. F. KALLOKAX Editor
Jay Gould.
Onh of the most remarkable
men of the da- is the individual
whose name heads this article. I n
a late interview Herbert Spencer
said a clever thing, and truthfuslv
too, that '"the future problem in
the Uuited States would be how
to deal with the individual, whereas
in the past the problem has been
how to deal with the masses."
The individual is becoming far
stronger than any body of men is
likely to be. In olden times
difficulties of communication and,
tnereiore, oi controlling vast
properties, territories, or numbers
of men, were almost insurmount
able, except in such cases as those
in which the controlling power
was a military genius, having for
weapons fire and sword. In all
other cases the work of half a
man's lifetime fell to pieces in the
next half. In the whole history
of the world there are no instances
. of the rolling up of power such as
we now behold in lac cases of
Gould and Yandeibilt. The 2sew
York Times has been greatly
ridiculed for the certainty with
which it finds Gould behind every
bush. It accuses him of being the
author of every disaster, of every
political trickery, and no matter
what misfortune befalls us, the
Times is pretty sure to find Gould
at tie bottom of it. While the
view of the evil is of course an
exaggerated one, there can be no
doubt as to the extent to which
Gould, directly or indirectly, in
fluences the business of the coun
try. Whether he obtains control
ot the Associated press or not, it
is perfectly certain tint with the
means already at his disposal, he
colors the information given to
half the people of the cit-. No
one who reads the newspapers
carefully can fail to sec that the
inspiration of many political and
monetary columns is derived from
Gould's private office. The feel
ing in Wall street against the
,Gould newspapers, the World, the
Tribune and the Mail, is so strong
that their representatives barely
escape mobbing, when some turn
of the market exposes Gould's
hand in another bit of Wall street
trickery. And it is no exagger
ated view of the case to say that
if Gould goes on for ten years
more, at the present rate of acquis
ition, he will own one-third of the
railroads of the United States, tiie
whole of the telegraph system and
a dozen newspapers.
Of this wonderful man, whose
power 'surpasses thai of most
kings, who controls un army of
near 40,000 men, counting those
employed on his railroads, his tele
graphs and his other enterprises,
it is astonishing how little is known.
Gould was born in November,
183G, in a small post village called
Stratton's Falls, in the township of
Koxbury, Delaware count-, N, Y.
His father, John Gould, was a
small farmer, who made a poor
living in sending down logs from
the Catskills to the Hudson river.
Had it not been that Gould, as a
boy, was not fit for hard work, he
would probably be to-day a shrewd
Catskill farmer, getting much for
little out of his score of country
boarders, instead of making the
whole county pay tribute.
He was offered a position in an
Albany hardware shop but declined
on account of his health, and look
to wandering about the country in
looking tor something to do, and
selling books as a means of pavni"
his expenses. It was in the course
of his wanderings thai he fell in
with an old man named Pratt, who
had a tannery in northern Penn
sylvania. Gould left the tannery
with all the experience ;md the
money too. In the course of his
dealings, in selling hides to New
York merchants, be became con
vinced that New York was the
place for him, and began business
in that city. Making a little money
at that he began dabbling in rail
road stock, and by natural shrewd
ness became wealthy. IIo then
associated himself with Jas. Fisk,
and began to count his gains by
millions. Ue is now worth $100.
000,000, and his money is so in
vested as to return him fifteen per
cent per annum. Whoie this won
derful man will slop, is a question
asked by many persons. 1 1 is pre
dicted frequently that the great ef
fort of Gould!s life will come
should he and Tandcrbilt ever be
pitted against each other as the ri-!

know that what successes Yander
bilt has on the street are accom
plished by the mere weight of his
money, just as a very big man.
without any skill at ail, can some
times crush a little man who is!
brimming over with skill. Gould !
has both the weight and the skill '
and when the inevitable conflict be
tween these two comes to pass,
1
there is no doubt in the minds of
the Wall street connoisseurs a- ;0,"t,,v,,uWj
what the result will be.
A .i:eat deal has been wnltnn j
about Ireland and its unfortunate
condition, and a divcrsitv of
opinions exist as to the causes that !
have produced its misery. Prob
ably the most striking illustration
of its retrogression is furnished by
figure. In IS'H the population
of I rclaml was S,l 7 5,1 '24 ; i:: J S?0
it had fallen to o,13ntS39. This
sufficiently illustrates as -Sprague
says "how miserable is man when
the foot of the conqueror is on his
neck."' While everv other nation
in Christendom has steadilv ad
vanced in Wealth and population

land has fallen off ncarlv fortv
ijci vcm ui iiiu siiuiu nunuu, ami
tins too wit n a hearty, handy race
of people, a mild climate, and a
sou of great lertilitv.
Immi:o!ati:ly after the election,
Chalmers, of Mississippi, who was
supposed to be elected on the Re
publican ticket, telegraphed the
alleged fact of his election to lien
Butler. But the secretary of
state of Mississippi has thrown
out one precinct where Chalmers
got 1,47:2 votes, because on the
tally sheet appers the name.
"J. II. Chambless, ' instead
of ".J. ". Chalmers." So be
cause some olection clerk was dis
posed to .make spelling a matter of
private judgment the hero of Fort I
T-i.. ." ...... - " I
f mow loses Ins case, nut win ap
peal and enter upon a contest to
be declared the tightful recipient
of the election certificate.
Tin: New Northwest thinks it
is every man's and every woman's
dut- to think for himself and her
self, and it should be their piivil
ege to express an untrammcled
opinion through the mndiuin of
the secret ballot. The fact that a
majority of women would vote for
or against any mcasiue does not
affect the inherent franchise. The
women who are seeking recogni
tion of their claims to the ballot
hold widely different opinions on
many matters and questions; but
that is only another reason why
they should have the right of
choice.
Tin: practicability of photo
graphing landscapes from tho win
dows of tram running at the rate
of forty miles an hour, has been
recently demonstrated. The Aha
thinks this will be a great thin"
for English tourists who spend
their three weeks in America in
order to write books giving a full
description of every part of it.
They can now illustrate their in
teresting and valuable works with
pictures.
Tin: Now York official vote
gives the Democratic candidate
for governor 19J.0S3 majority.
Folger, tfic Republican candidate,
got 212,2-14 less votes than Gar
field, two years ago. It was a
Democratic victory for the Demo
crats and a Republican victory for
the Republicans.
Poirrr..vNi is talking of having a
sugar refinery. That city displays
a oneness of sentiment and unity of
purpose in matters of public weal,
that are worthy of imitation by
other commnities.
