Railway circles at Cleveland
have been startled to learn of the
incorporation at Columbus of the
Buffalo, Cleveland and Chicago
Railway Company, with a capital
of sis and a half millions of dol-
lars. Diligent inquiry among of-
ficials of existing roads failed to
find any one for some time who
seemed to know anything about
it, though all surmised Jay Gould
had something to do with the cor-
poration. At length an inter-
viewer found G. F. Lewis, presi-
dent of a small road running out
of Cleveland, who said he had
been in correspondence with Jay
Gould on the subject for some
time, but had been enjpined to be
silent at present. Said Mr. Lewis:
“I imagine he was waiting to get
Lake Shore stock up as high as
he coujd, then sell short. It was
about as high last Friday as he
could get it, and I suppose he un-
loaded his stock then. Articles
of association were filed with the
secretary ot the state of New York
for a connecting link between this
road and the 'east, to run from
Buffalo to the state line, sixty
miles, capital two millions, all of
which was taken up in one day.
The name will be the same and
the roads will be consolidated.
This will give Gould control of a
direct road from New York to the
Pacific coast and southwest, as it
controls Delaware and Lackawan-
na from New York to Binghamton
and is building a branch to Buf-
falo. He also controls Wabash
with its southwestern branches
and the Pacific work will begin
right away. Shouldn’t be sur-
prised if the road is in operation
inside of eighteen months. The
new road will run just south of
the Lake Shore, which will give a
greater advantage, as it will be
ten miles inside, and reach all lo-
cal traffic. The entire road from
Buffalo to Chicago can be built
for twenty-five million dollars. It
is one-quarter of the stock and
bonded debt of the Lake Shore.
Gould has been working this
quietly on the outside, and got all
his other connecting links before
springing this one, so now he is
ready to go ahead.”
Samuel Sloaue, president of the
Delaware and Lackawanna, and
Russell Sage, of New York, are
the most prominent men interest-
ed with Gould. They are man-
agers, but all business is done in
the names of their brokers. It is
also learned the Pennsylvania
link has been incorporated, with
$2,700,000 capital.

Nat Q. Henderson is running
as an independent candidate for
the legislature. Nat is thereby
contributing his little mite to-
wards the defeat of Democracy.
It will remembered that he
now holds a position under the
government, which he secured
through the influence of our
Democratic congressmen. It is
just the time to turn Nat out of
the Democratic pasture.

St. Lotiis Post-Dispatch.
The result of the late elections
signifies Grantism. Grant, durin
his administration, collects
around him the most infamous
band of public plunderers that
ever disgraced any country. By
bribery and corruption, monopo-
lies and privileged classes werd
created, whose power aud wealth
is now a menace to popular liber-
iy. In 1874 the people rebuked
them and elected to congress a
majority of seventy-six Demo-
crats. This rebuke caused them
to suspend operations for the
third term. The election of 1876
occurred. Tilden was elected.
Grant, Garfield & Co. had Hayes
inaugurated, who was to hold
power until Grant could be sent
around the world and trained by
his band aud royalty for a third
term. At Chicago he was defeat-
ed and Garfield nominated. This-
excited the indignation of the
boss politicians of the Grant band.
Conkling, Logan, Cameron and
Grant would take no part in the
contest until terms were agreed
on between them and Garfield.
Conkling .charged that the Ohio
crew of Hayes, Sherman and Gar-
field were hypocrites and not to
be trusted without their bond.
After much negotiation the con-
tract was executed. The stipula-
tions were that in consideration
of the support of the Grant dy-
nasty Garfield, if elected, - was to
make Conkling in his administra-
tion the power behind the throne ;
that he could use the power of
the government so that in 1884
there should be no mistake about
Grant being nominated and elec-
ted for a third term. It is a ne-
cessity of the Grant dynasty and
the monopolies and privileged
classes they created that, to per-
petuate their power and right to
plunder, sovereignty should be
taken from the people and a
strong government be created.
Nearly two years ago these con-
spirators saw that it was neces-
sary to carry the vote of Ludia.ua*
and they commenced colonizing
Southern negroes in the state to
do it. They have succeeded. If
in November the third-termers
shall succeed in electing Garfield,
Grantism in his administration,
will be revived, and in 1884 Grant
will succeed him and the people
will then understand the differ-
ence between self-government and
an unrestrained band of public
plunderers with Grant as their;
chief co-operator, with a power-:
ful money oligarchy, and the mer-
ciless corporations and privileged
classes they have created. The
issue of unrestrained power, sec-
tional hate and plunder presented
by Conkling, Grant, Arthur and
Garfield, and of harmony and con-
stitutional liberty represented by
Hancock, is now made up.
How He’d Do It.
Detroit Free Press.
Several men were gathered at
the door of a blacksmith shop on
Cass avenue the other morning,
when a school-boy not over nine
years of age came along with tears
in his eyes, and one of them ask-
ed :
“ NY hat’s the matter, boy—fall'
down?”
“ No-no, but I’ve got a hard
’rithmetic lesson, and I expect to
git 1-licked !” was the answer.
“Let me see, I used to be a
king-bee on fractions.”
The man took the book, turned
to the page, and read :
“ Rule 1.—Find the least com-
mon multiple of the denominators
of the fractions for the least com-
mon denominator. Divide this
least common denominator by
each denominator and multiply
both terms of the fractions by the
quotient obtained by each denom-
inator.”
He read aloud and asked if
anyone could understand it. All
shook their heads, and he then
continued: ‘
“ Well now, I think I should go
to work and discover the least
common agitator. I would then
evolve a parallel according to the
intrinsic deviator and punctuate
the thermometer.”
“ So would I,” answered every
man in chorus, and one of them
added : ‘-k I’ve worked tem out
that way a thousand times 1”
No one of the men, all of whom
were in business and had made
money, could even understand the
working of the rule, much less
work examples by it, aud yet it
was expected tnat a nineteen-year-
old boy should go to the black
board and do every sum off-hand.
—At the last grand ball at the
White Suiphur, Miss Meachum, of
Memphis, the reigning beauty at
the springs, looked ravishing in a
lovely toilette of rose color with
overdress of Spanish lace to
match.
