THE LEASE.
The advocates of the lease in the Board of
Directors of the United Companies do not oc
cupy an enviable position, either as regards the
.stockholders of the New Jersey companies, the
pnbllc, or the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
"They boldly proclaimed to the pnbllc In ad
vance that three-fourths of the stockholders
desired to lease.
. Through the newspapers they have repre
sented that the lease had actually obtained the
.consent of the two-thirds of the stock owners.
The newspapers have teemed with circulars
from the committee authorized by the lolnt
board to solicit the consent of the stockholders,
with other articles signed "Many Stockholders,"
depreciating the property of the United Compa
nies and their capacity to earn ten per cent,
dividend. These newspaper articles have freely
menaced a rival road in order to compel timid
stockholders to part with their property for an
inadequate consideration.
ii uuc mi j iu uuwu vu viiuu ui iuo nuin ui
the United Companies, they have magnified the
wonderful power and resources of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad, and threatened that, unless the
United Companies surrendered to them, a new
railroad would certainly be built, impairing the
Value of their rrorrtv.
Now, what has been accomplished after all
this flourish of trumpets? As Mr. Webster said
to Mr. Hayne, "The vigor and success of the
war have not quite come up to the lofty sound
ing phrase of the manifesto." The committee
to obtain the consent of the stockholders have
worked with all their energy; they have dis
tricted city and country, and, with a small corps
of paid itinerant agents, scoured every nook
and corner la search of stockholders to sign the
papers.
Commencing with the 13,000 shares which
they say the majority of the directors represent,
they have obtained only about 6000 shares.
Many, it is said, who gave their consent with
out reflection, have expressed their regret at
so doing, and desire to withdraw it. Now this
is the work accomplished by them since the 19th
of May.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company were no
doubt persuaded to submit their propositions
under the assurance that the consent of the
stockholders would be an easy conquest. They
may thank their friends among the majority
directors for the unpleasant position which a
defeat will compel them to occupy.
The defeat may be ascribed to two causes:
First. The stockholders were refused the sight
of the schedule of property to be transferred,
which the lease promised should be submitted
to them. They had, therefore, no knowledge
of the amount or value of the property they
. were to part with.
Second. The stockholders resent the attempt
to treat about the sale of their property by
agents unauthorized to act for such purpose.
The directors were elected to protect, preserve,
defend, aid manage the great property of the
stockholders, not to initiate measures for its
alienation and the utter destruction of all power
in the stockholders to have any control whatever
in relation to it.
We Buppose that many of those stockholders
who have given their consent are really igno
rant of the value of the works of the United
Companies, but the work of signing, we learn,
has come to a stand. The stockholders not
signing know what it is they are asked to
relinquish. They know that ten per cent, an
nual dividends on the caDital Stock, t IS. 990.-
677-50, is an adequate compensation for $40,000,
000 or $50,000,000 of property; they know, too, that
railroad property in the United States, on all the
great routes of business, doubles in value every
ten years. They know that if a railroad pro
perty doubles (as is stated in "Poor's Railroad
Manual" for 1871) in ten years anywhere it is
sure to double in the favored location occupied
by the works of the United Companies. The
fact that the tevenues and business of railroads
in the United States double every ten years is
ascertained in Mr. Poor's valuable work by a
careful analysis of the statistics furnished by the
rnrwf a nf thn ritffArent railroads throughout tke
whole country.
It may, therefore, be asserted with entire
confidence that the works of the New Jersey
companies now at the lowest estimate worth
840,000,000 will in 1880 be worth $80,000,000.
This fact alone of Itself should be sufficient to
satisfy every intelligent stockholder that it
-would be a bad bargain to surrender to the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company for ten per
-cent, on less than one-fourth 1 what the works of
the United Companies will be worth ten years
hence. A Stockholder
CLIMATE AND RESOURCES OF MOX
TANA, BY B. F. POTTS,
GOVERNOR OF MONTANA TERRITORY.
Midway across the continent, between the Great
Lake and the Pacific Ocean In the heart of that
Ne Northwest, the extent, character, and resources
of which the people are at last beginning to appre
date embracing within Its boundaries four paral
lels of latitude and no less than twelve degrees of
longitude, lies the great Territory of Montana. The
superficial area of this Territory Is extensive enough
to make three States as large as New York, the
Empire State of the East ; and, as I have stated else
where, I believe It to be the richest re
glon In agriculture and mineral resources
on the entire American continent. There
are at least fifty thousand square miles of tillable
land wlthlu its limits; and this land, under a cheap
and simple process of Irrigation, Is of unsurpassed
fertility, yielding in the greatest abundance all va
rieties of the cereals. I have seen samples of wheat
which yielded 80 bushels to the acre, and the ave
rage yield throughout the Territory, even with the
very Imperfect methods of cultivation which are In
vogue here, is from forty to sixty-five bushels. This
exceeds the yield of the famous wheat-fields of Mln
Besota, and is about four times as great as the ave
rage wheat crop of Ohio. Rye, oats, and barley pro
duce enormously, and the yield of vegetables Is
simply without a parallel in the history of hortlcul
ture in America. The common yield of potatoes,
tor instance, Is 400 bushels per acre
Lauds for grazing purposes, too, are of vast ex
ttnt and of the best quality. Grasses as nutritious
as sheaf -oats cover the hills and valleys and extend
far np the mountain aides, affording pasturage for
numberless herds of cattle and sheep during the
entire year. The cattle alone now to be found In
the territory number at leait sixty thousand head ;
and to abundant are these grasses ana so miia is
nur climate that no grain or hay is fed to them at
ail they take care of themselves and keep fat all
rintr. oar meat markets are supplied with beef
taken from among the different herds at all seasons
of the year; and it is found to be of the fattest aad
.-aotpat. maklM delicious food, superior generally
in quality and flavor to the grain-fed stock of the

Is nolle where, in the
future when the
Northern Pacific Raiiroaa n
K.t nch fortunes are to be made in the
rriKucu w,
nr railing stock for the market.
Of the mineral wealth of Montana all the world
v... hini. it has oeen
" m the nation s mouth when it was born
bat besides the, silver, not less than twelve million
dollars' worth of gold dust was taken from the mines
last season, and iron, copper, coal, and other mine
rals exist In exhauatless abundance.
I suppose, however, that the thing about our New
Northwest which has most surprised the public is
the genial character of Its climate. Radically dif
ferent as It mar seem from the prevalent idea re
garding It, It Is nevertheless true that the climate of
Montana, as a whole, la milder than that of New
fork, while the purity and dryness of the atmo
sphere makes the variations of temperature far less
noticeable.
The old theory, that the farther north we go the
more severe the climate becomes, Is now generally ,
exploded. It is understood, at last, that isothermal
divisions, except In their larger aspects, are entirely
Independent of degrees of latitude ; and the various
explorers and topographers who have been sent oat
here by the Government have shown by Instru
mental tests that the temperature of Walla Walla,
on the 4Cth degree of latitude, is the same as that of
Washington City, on the 89th ; that ot Clar t'i Fork,
In Montana, on the 43th, the same as that of St. Jo
seph's, Missouri, on the 4 1st; and that of the Bitter
Root Valley, MIssonea county, Montana, on ttie
46th, the same as that of Philadelphia, on the 41st. '
The winters In this section are generally open and
pleasant, as may be Inferred from the fact of the
cattle grazing without shelter all winter. The val
leys are hardly ever covered with snow, and It is
rare that the roads are not dry and passable for ten
months in the year, except on the high mountains,
where the snow falls to considerable depths. On
the mountains, of course, as In mountainous regions
everywhere, winter sometimes pinches hard; but
even these are not the least attractive features of
the territory. The elevation of the mountains, val
leys, and plains of Montana above the level of the
sea is from 2000 to 4000 feet less than that of Wyo
ming and Utah. This fact alone goes far to explain
the milder climate and vastly greater productiveness
of Montana,
How this great wealth, agricultural and mineral,
is to be utilized and made to contribute its due share
to the nation's commercial prosperity is a question
not less important to the people at large than to the
Inhabitants of Montana Itself; and In considering It
I am brought to that great enterprise the Northern
Pacific Railroad now building from east to west
across our entire territory. This road will traverse
oar richest valleys, and famish an outlet for the
Immense future surplus productions of the Terri
tory. All that has heretofore been written about
the superior land-grant of the Northern Pacific
Railroad in Montana scarcely gives an adequate
conception of the extent and true value of the
grant.
The company will receive twenty-five thousand six
hundred acres of onr best agricultural and grazing
lands for every mile of road that is built lands
which not only possess all the advantages which I
have mentioned, bnt are within easy reach of tim
ber, and abound In Cne building-stone of almost
every variety and Inexhaustible in quantity. I have
no doubt that these lands will not only cancel the
entire cost of building the railroad, but will leave a
large surplus to the company.
The Northern Pacifle Railroad Is of immense im
portance to Montana. It will enable our stock
raisers to compete on favorable terms with those of
Illinois and other States In the markets of the East
ern cities. A new impetus will be given to all our
Industries. Our mines will be developed, new ones
will be opened, and those that produced twelve million
dollars In gold last season will far exceed that sum
annually.
Onr population will rapidly increase ; the sixty-
two cities and towns we now have will be doubled
in number and quadrupled In size; and the public
lands, now unoccupied, will be cultivated by actual
settlers. Other prosperous States will spring np
around ns ; and btfore we enter upon another cen
tury this great Northwest, now lying broad and In
viting before the settler, will be contributing Its
rightful share towards the wealth, commerce, and
general prosperity of the nation.
The enterprise which is opening this New North
west Is truly a great national work, and well de
serves, as it receives, the encouragement, co-opera
tion, and support alike of all who as Americans feel
an Interest In the country's progress, or who as capi
talists desire a liberal return upon Investment.

tion. Bnt, while we hold in high esteem those
who administer to the last wants of oar loved
ones, we are compelled to differ with many of
them in treating THROAT and LUNG DIS
EASES.
Dr. L. Q. C. WIOHART'S
THEORY.
His Remedies Cure.
First. Not by stopoine couch, bat bv loos
ening and assisting nature to throw off the
unhealthy matter collected about the throat
ana uroncnial tabes, causing irritation and
cough.
Second. Most Throat and Loner Remedies
are composed of anodynes, which allay the
cough for a while, but. bv their constrincinsr
effects, the fibres become hardened, and the
unhealthy fluids coagulate, and are retained
in the system, cansing disease beyond the
control or our most eminent physioians.
Third. The Pine Tree Tar Cordial, with its
assistants.are preferable, because thev remove
the cause of irritation of the mucous mem.
brane and broncial tabes, assisting the langs
to act and throw off the unhealthy secretions
and purify the blood, thus scientifically mak
ing the cure perfect. ,
A Voice from the People.
A Cure of Seventeen Yeara Standlnsr of
o
Painful Suffering.
I, HOOPER JOLLY, of Philadelphia, do certify,
that for seventeen years I was anilcted with Dys
pepsia, and what I assert Is well known by many re-
spectacle persona of Dorchester county, Maryland.
Having tried the best Physicians and every medi
cine I beard of, but of no effect, I was Induced to
call at Dr. WISHART'S Office, and, after examina
tion, was pronounced to have Chronic Dyspepsia. I
procured his Great American Dyspepsia Pills and
Pine Tree Tar Cordial. I now can recommend it tor
the enre of Dyspepsia and Nervous Diseases.
HOOPBR JOLLY,
Pastor Zoar M. E. Church, Philadelphia.
You Mill be a Dead Man lu Less than
Three Yeara.
Each was the Judgment of my physician, after a
careful examination. He said by continual preach
ing and exposure I had brought on bronchitis, and
he advised me to stop preaching. I then put myself
under medical treatment, which did me but little
good. My throat was so swollen that breathing was
very difficult. It frequently opened, and then I found
relief for a time. I tried all kinds of patent medi
cines, none of which did me any good. Passing
through Barnsburg, 1 called on a lady friend. I in.
formed her of my affliction. She said, "I was af
fected in the same way, and none of the doctors
could cure me. I tried Dr. L. Q. C WISHART'S
Pine Tree Tar Cordial ; took a few bottles of it
now yon see me as I am, cured! at the vaeh tub twice
a week. I would advise yon to try it." I went im
mediately to the drug store and procured it, and I
thank God I am now able to preach the Gospel. I
now use it more as a preventive than a cure.

I Had to Yield my Prejudice at Last.
I was prejudiced to any advice or medicine that
did not come through my family physician. My boy,
of three yeara old, had a fall, and a worm came from
him. Fearing he might have worms, I went to our
Druggist, and he gave me a box of Dr. L. Q. C.
vvioHAKt worm sugar urops. wnen i gave
them te my child I sale; "ITii it a humbug," but, to
my surprise, in less than a day and a night he dis
charged forty worms, one fourteen Inches long.
What the Doctor Said.
That the child might have died at any time, and
no physician would have known the cause without
a post-mor.em examination.
