Though we have before given a
definition of the Credit Mobiier, we
add this short one given in his testi-
mony before the Investigation Com
mittee, by Dr.. Thomas G. Durant,
himself one of the leaders in the great
swindle:
When the Union Pacific road was
under construction, q "ring" was
formed inside the direction, embrac-
ing, as such a combination always
does, the shrewdest, most active, and
least scrupulous of the Board, for the
purpose of making large fortunes for
its members in an illegitimate man.
ner, at the cost of the road and un-
suspecting stockholders. AS usual,
the object was to be achieved by
means of construction contracts.
Through the votes of the ring the
work was to be awarded In lump to
some dummy contractor, at price
double or more than double the cost,
with fair profit added, for, as great
many capacious appetites had to be
satisfied, ample margin was necessary.
The contractor was then to make
over the contract to the ring Direct
ors, in the capacity of stockholders
of the Credit Mobilier, the pretense
being that the Credit Mobilier had
the means to push the work vigorous
ly forward, and would be better able
to do SO than any single individual.
In pursuance of this conspiracy-for
it was nothing else-the contract for
the construction of large portion of
the road at fifty thousand dollars a
mile, was awarded and duly assigned
to the ring-a price which, according
to DR.. Durant's statement, was more
than double the legitimate cost of the
work. This, however, was not enough.
By the votes to the conspirators,
many miles of the road which had al
ready been constructed and accepted
by the United States Government as
complete, and which had nearly all
been paid for by the Union Pacific
Company, were included in the con-
tract at fifty thousand dollars mile,
and thus an enormous amount of
money was taken as it were, out of
the pockets of the stockholders, with
out q shadow of justification, and
transferred to the greedy grasp of
the ring.
The shares of the Credit Mobiler
were thus made at once worth from
eight to ten times their face value
that is to say, q single thousand dol
lar share was worth from eight to ten
thousand dollars In cash.

HIGHLAND CHARLIE.
Ohio State Woman Suffrage AS
sOciatiOn.

The Third Annual Convention of the
Ohio State Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton was held in Wheelers Opera
House, Toledo, February 18th and
18th. The attendance was large and
enthusiastic and a continually increas-
ing interest displayed, Speeches
were made by Mrs. H. NJ. Tracy Cut
Ter, Susan B. Anthony, Mrs. NJ. V.
Longley, Mrs. Miriam NJ Cole and
other prominent woman suffrage ad-
vocates. The women. mean work,
prompt and energetic, as indicated
by the following resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted. Meas
ures are already being taken to carry
out these resolutions and an active
canvass may be looked for:
Resolved, That the right to vote is
q personal right, inherent in every
citizen, and not privilege to be con-
ferred or withheld at the pleasure Of
the majority, and that any abridge-
ment of this right is tyranny.
Resolved, That the present, imme-
date work of this Association, shall
be to bring an influence to bear upon
the selection of delegates to the Con
vention, and upon that body when as
sembled, to induce it to take steps
for the removal from the organic law
of the State of that despotic provision
which now denies the ballot to its fe-
male citizens, and that we will use all
proper and legal means for this pur-
pose, accepting with gratitude, any
sympathy or aid given us by any per
son, class or party.
Resolved, That if the male citizens
of the State, after a full and fair pre-
sentation of the case, shall deliberate
ly insert in the new Constitution,
provision abridging the right of the
female citizens, such act will put the
stamp of deliberate tyranny upon the
new government.
Resolved, That while we do not
identity ourselves with any political
party, we would make grateful men
ton of the hearty recognition which
we have received from the Prohibition
party, and also return our thanks for
the respectful consideration promised
us by the Republican party.

FUTURE POLICY.

Ny efforts in the future will be di-
rected to the restoration of good
feeling between the different sections
of our common country; to the res
toration of our currency to fixed
value as compared with the worlds
standard of values of gold, and if
possible to par with it; to the con-
struction of cheap routes of transit
throughout the land, to the end that
the products of all sections may find
a market and leave a living remuner-
alton to the producer; to the main
tenance of friendly relations with all
our neighbors and with distant ma
tons; to the establishment of our
commerce and share in the carrying
trade upon the ocean; to the encour-
agement of such manufacturing in
dustries as can be economically pur-
sued in this country, to the end that
the exports Of home products and in
dustries may pay for our imports, the
only sure way of returning to perma-
nently and maintaining aspecie basis;
to the elevation of labor, and by a
humane course to bring the aborigi-
mes of the country under the benign
influences of education and civiliza-
ton.

sANTo DOMINGO.

In the first year of the past admin
istration the proposition came up for
the admission of Santo Domingo as
a territory of the Union. 1t was not
a question of my seeking, but it was
a proposition from the people of San
to Domingo, and which I entertained.
1 believe now, as 1 did then, that it
was for the best interests of this coun-
try, for the people of Santo Domingo
and all concerned, that the PROPOSE
ton should be received favorably; it
was, however, regarded adversely,
and therefore the subject was never
brought up again by me.

ACQUISITION OF TERRITORY.

In the future, while Iholdmy pres
ent Office, the subject of acquisition
of territory must have the support of
the people before I viii recommend
any proposition looking to such ac-
QUESTION. I say here, however, that
1 do not share in the apprehension
held by many as to the danger ofgoV-
ernments becoming weakened and
destroyed by reason of their exten-
sion of territory. Commerce, educa-
ton and rapid transit of thought or
matter by telegraph and steam have
changed all this. 1 rather believe
that our Great Maker is preparing
the world in His own good time to
become one nation, speaking one
language, and when armies and ma
Ties will be no longer required.

The AMENDED Rallroad Law,

HOward's bill, amending and extending
the Bosel Railroad law, is now law. The
amendments are first requiring only twenty
five taxpayers to petition for an election
under the law, and second, enablingth the peo-
pie of any community to aid in building
more than one road at a time. We judge
this law reflects the wishes of large major
ity of the people of Ohio.

Yesterday, the first Sunday since
