THE NEW ORLEANS TROUBLE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-The President con-
tlnues to receive numerous kilograms from New
Orleans which, with those privately addressed
to other parties, do not indicate an early termi.
nation of the political troubles. A resolution
for the appointment of an investigation com
mittee may be offered in the House tomorrow
Some OF the members of Congress express the
opinion that correct history of the trouble,
cannot be obtained unless such a committee
conduct the proceedings in New Orleans, ant
say even if the troubles should end before the
committee could reach there, the information
officially obtained would be valuable in view Of
further legislation.

Average per Acre.

The CHARACTER of the Land Grant of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company, as a.whole, is
readily acknowledged by all persons acquainted with
the different Grants, to be SUPERIOR TO
THAT OF ANY OTHER ROAD; but even
not be above the lowest average of all the land grants
which is but $2.7O ON the Kansas Pacific Road still
at this low figure for the $4,000 acres held to redeem
each $4,000 of bonds there would be a surplus of
ST. 500 over the amount of bonds that can be issued
on each mile of the Northern Pacific Railroad
Railroad will be opened for passengers and freight to
the Red River of the North, the eastern boundary
of Dakota Territory-this, with the completed road
on the Pacific slope, and the st. Paul and Pacific
branches of 2ss miles, will make nearly 600 miles of
road in operation at the close of this year.
As the U. S. Government is calling i'll the Five
Twenties, holders of these can convert them into
Northern Pacific Bonds, and thereby INCREASE
THEIR INCOME MORE THAN 33 rs
PER CENT. At the present time good proper
ton of the sales of N p Bonds are by the conversion
of Five-Twenties, and we notice that the Boston
Journal in its monetary article of Nov. IL, says:
Holders of Five-Twenties (of 1862 are either real
izing upon them, or exchanging them into other is
suesoften into railroad bonds-the Northern Pacific
The Chicago disaster fully demonstrated that First
Mortgage Bond on any Trunk Line of railroad is
the safest and least Huctuating security known
This is manifest In one quite marked instance as
seen in the luctuation Of the first Mortgage Bonds
of the Michigan Central Railroad which fell but one
per cent. in the late financial panic while u s. Five
Twentes and Skies of 1881 huctuated two to three
per cent; and here the Michigan Central Railroad
had met with the greatest loss it could by re-the
burning of its large terminal depot. The New Yrok
Daily Bulletin, which gives the authentic reports Of
the Stock Exchange in its issue of the 18th of Octo-
Der, after the Chicago fire, says: RAILROAD Bonds
have stood the shock better than any other class of
securities, and again, October 18th, says; Railroad
Bonds steader than any other class of securities
~ To persons seeking permanent investments, al
so holders of Government Bonds wishing to increase
their income. WE WOULD RECOMMEND
THE NORTHERN PACIFIC SEVEN
THIRTY GOLD BONDS AS ONE OF
THE BEST AND SAFEST RAILROAD
SECURITIES NOW OFFERED TO
THEPUBLIC.
We recommend this bond for the reason that it is
GROUNDED UPON A LANDED REAL
ESTATE BASIS, WORTH DOUBLE
THE AMOUNT OF BONDS ISSUED
PER MILE, AND ALSO UPON A
FULLY EQUIPPED TRUNK LINE
OF RAILROAD RUNNING THROUGH
THE SAME.
For further particulars concerning this Bond, or
purchase of the same apply to the undersigned.
