ton of which must find its way across the American
Continent
Holders Of FIvE-TwENTY Bonds (which are liable
TO be funded at lower rate Of interest within short
timel may exchange them for CENTRAL PACIFIC

and at several of the more important BOurses OF
Europe We have introduced them into our regular
business upon the same basis as Government Bonds

RAILWAY CONnoLIDArIoN.

England is sgitsted upon the question
OF railroad smslgsmstion. From the en-
tire length and breadth of the land, rail-
way smslgsmstions and rumors Of ANAL
gamstions are the great topics. All the
large companies have entered into what
is known as "a joint purse" arrangement.
There is great opposition to the scheme
from many quarters, and it is commended
that the consolidation Of various comps-
mics will but pave the wsy for the as
sumption Of the entire railway system by
the State. For many reasons, such a re-
suit would not be an advantageous change
for the public. It would cover the face of
the land with q swarm Of government
officials. 1t would unduly increase the
patronage of the political party In power.
1t would create q monopoly of the worst
kind. And last, but not least, it would
withdraw from the public thar great pro-
lection to person and property which
arises from the present liability of the
companies 70 make compensation for any
damage they may do to either. The same
Pertsin TO railroad consolidation in
this country. As omnipotent corpora
lions, they become q dangerous force in
government, and in the hands Of
government consolidated railroads would
it with omnipotencs. And vet
zach city would have IN roads become
part Of q continental system.
