It will consist of the Chicago & Rock Island, the Colo-rado Midland. Denver & Rio Grande, the Hio Grande Western, and the Cen-tral Pacific. This new route will be put in operation, as one line,, from Chi-cago to San Francisco, as' soon as tho Denver & Rio Tiranilc is' widened to a broad gauge road, which will be within a few weeks. This will give a broad gauge road from Denver to Salt Lake and Ogden, and to the Pacific coast. The two outside railroad companies Diosiluterested in this combination en-terprise are the Central Pacific and the Chicago, Hock Island & Pacific. In fact it is generally understood that a largo portion of the money for the con-struction of the Colorado Midland was furnished by uitsu who are heavy stock-holders in tho Kock Island road, and it is intimated also lliat these same parties have supplied funds to the Denver & Klo Grande and llio Grande Western to cover the ex-pense of broad-gauging- . These facts give foundation to the belief that tho Hock Island proposes to eventu-ally buy theso roads or to secure a controlling interest in them. In this connection Bradstreet's of May 17th says: "Doubtless, however, traffic ar-rangements will be concluded with tho Missouri Pacific and Burlington roads as well as tho Kock Island. Partial ar-rangements, in fact, were uiado some time ago for the running of through Pullman cars from Chicago to San Francisco by the Burlington, Denver & llio Grande, llio Grando Westorn and Central Pacific, and also by the Kock Island, Colorado Midland, Kio Grande Western aim Central Pacific, ami at the same time from St. Louis by the Missouri Pacific, Denver & llio Grande, Rio Grando Western and Cen-tral Pacific. All of theso probabilities involve, also, the probability of a very considerable diversion of passenger traffic from the Union Pacific by. the Central Pacific and its other eastern connections atOgdon."

I.OiriS JIVAMs, 'ity It is to be regretted that Col. Robert Ingersoll Is unable to accept tho invita-tion to deliver tho Fourth of July ora-tion in this city. lie would liavo boon st great attraction. Is somo cities tho councilmen are deadheads in everything. This is the caso in Boston and Brooklyn. Iu tho latter city, because Karnuin failed to follow the usual eustom of sending Complimentary tickets to tho council-luen- , they raised the circus liceuso to $;i,000. AUTOMATIC BRAKKN AN1J I'l.F.HS. The railroads are very slow to adopt for their freight trains safety devices in the shapo of power brakes and auto-matic couplers. Tlicy only do so when compelled by stato legislative action. The National Association of Itrakeineu is endeavoring to secure national legis-lation oiuhis matter, and several bills with that end in view aro now before congress. Of ; course tho railroad ollicials are on hand to oppose any and all such proposed measures. They maintain that congress has no right to legislate in regard to railway appliances and operation, bill the advocates of safety devices argue that congress has tho power, under tho interstate com-merce law, lo compel the railways to protect to tho utmost extent the lives of their patrons and employ es. ( Tho prop-osition is no doubt correct as to inter-state railways, but as to railways that begin and end within it slate it would probably uot apjily. Htatc roads would como under stato legislation. Tho principal reason why tho railroad eoiupaulos object to equipping their freight trains with automatic brakes and couplers is the first cost of tho Im-provement. For n long timo they for tho same reason tho introduc-tion of steam heating, but steam is now used for that purpose on nearly all first class roads. This was brought about by popular demand and state legisla-tion. More men aro injured and killed by the coupler of link ami pin than from any other cause in tho railway service. If national legislation can bo had to compel the use of safety appliances, it certainly snouiu no en-acted at an early day. Hut if not, the association of brakomcn should make an effort to have every stato legislature enact stringent laws reuiriug tho em-ployment of automatic, brakes and couplers on all freight trains. That United Stales supremo court decision affirming tho escheat of tho Mormon church property really amounts lo nothing. It has beon over-ruled by the chief justice of tho Doscret News who evidently has tho most su-premo contempt for tho fodoral tri-bunal. Colonel William llydo, who was for many years the editor of tho Missouri llopublican, is about to start a daily paper, lo be called Tho Ballot, in St. Joe. Colonel Hydo' will, no doubt, meet with success in his now field, ns, St. Joe needs a first-clas- s morning daily newspaper, such as he is capable of conducting. The police aro to be commended in their efforts lo make people "move on." There is altogether too much obstruc-tion uf tho sidewalks by groups of men who forget that in blocking the passage-wa- y they are violating a city ordinance. Tho ordinance is intended to prevent street corner loaling, but Well-know- n and reputable citizens who thoughtlessly violate tho ordinauco are liable to arrest. Tho police, however, should mako it their special effort to make the gang of professional corner loafers to "move on," and keep moving. LAND OF, THE BEAUTIFUL DEAD. By the hut of the peasant where poverty weeps And nigh to the tower of the king, Close, dost to the cradle where Infancy sleeps, And Joy loves to linger and slog, Lies a garden ot light full of heaven's perfume, Where nerev a tear drop la shed. And the rate and the lily are erer In bloom Tis the land of the beautiful dead. Each moment of life a messenger come And beckons man ever the way; Through the oirt sobs of woman and rolling ot drums The army ot mortals obey. Faw lips that have kissed not a motionless brow, A face from each fireside has fled. But wa know that our loved ones are watching us now In tiie land of the beautiful dead. Mot a charm that we knew ere the boimd'ry was crossed, And we stood In the valley alone; Not a trait that we prised In our darlings Is lost They have fairer and lovellixrown. As the lilies burst forth wheif the shadows ot night luto bondage at daitn break are led, Bo they bask in tbe glow by tbe pillar ot light, In the land ot the beautiful aead. O! the dead, our dead, our beautiful dead, Are close to the heart of eternity wed. When tbe last deed is done and the last word is ssld We will meet in the land of the beautiful dead. John Jerome Kooney. j There is a good deal of complaint. cspflcially among the new comora, re-garding the absence of Btrcut signs iu this city. It is rather a strange thing fbt a city of 50,000 people to be with-out a single street sign. Every corner should Lave a sign placed in a promi-nent position. The system of street naming is rather puzzling to tho new residents, but it would be simplified by a thorough system of signs. The ex-pense of this much-neede- d public im-provement would not bo very much, We hope, the city council will, at its next meeting, take steps to supply this deficiency. Lily Lanotkv is a daisy. A dispatch ' from London says she has shocked English society. It has taken her a longtime, notwithstanding her vigor-ous and continued efforts, to accom-plish this result. Her most recent ex-ploit was an spree with some actors and swells of the St. James thea-ter, one of tho features of the pro-gramme beiug a foot race around tho square at 3 o'clock in the morning. Mrs. Langtry in a dasli of a hundred yards, and over hurdles, beat a fashion-able and rapid youth by two feet. Lily is evidently quite fast. ' Some one has raised objections to paving the street gprinkliug tax which ia being levied under special assess-ment, on the ground that such assess-ment is not legal. The city charter gives the council power to "provide for the lighting, sprinkling and clean-ing of the streets." If the council can-not levy a special assessment, under thU provision, for the payment of the sprinkling of any certain district, then it becomes questionable whether it can obtain funds from any other source for this purpose. The sprinkling does uot extend to every stroet iu this city, and therefore it would not be just to pay for itj by a general tax or wilh money from the general fund. Can there bo anything moro just or equitable than that the people living and doing busi-ness in; the districts sprinkled should pay for it, and how can this be done except by special assessment? If tiny controversy arises on this point, we predict that the council will be found lo be right in iU present method of paying for tne street sprinkling. . PERSONAL PAILVCiBATHS.
