The German bondholders of the Cali. |
fornia Pacific Railroad have pres nted
petition asking that the company be de-
clared bankrupt. The other day Charles
Crocker. the contract and finance man of
the Central Pacific, said that Railroad
bonds could not be sold in Europe on
account of the agitation going on in the
United States against enterprises of that
character and the prospect of unfriendly
legislation. Croker knew he was not
speaking the truth. The real cause be-
ing reckless expenditure, watering stock
and attempting to pay interest on
fictitious capital. Those are reasons
why many of the railroads could not pay
interest on their bonds, and it is that
failure to pay which has brought Ameri-
can railroad securities in bad order in
Europe, and nothing else. For this con-
dition of things Croker and men like
him are directly responsible.

VIGOROUS AND INCIsIvE, BUT JUST
From the Boston POst.l

lfTOul CHc BOSCOQ POStl
The NEW YORK HERALD critcises the policy OF
military interference at the South in style that is
vigorous and incislve, but just 1t expresses
wonder, not that these occasional ebulitions occur
to disturb the South, but that, considering all the
circumstances, such events are not more frequent,
In fact the rule Instead OF the exception. 'Judged
properly, not an event has occurred in the South
that would not have occurred in any Northern
State under the same circumstances.n There Is
not little deserved sarcasm in the proposition
"Prepare deliberately the events that will irritate
and excite people, and that must provoke them
to violent acts ii they are human; then wait till
the violence you have prepared Tor occurs, and
send your troops to occupy their Cities" In this
connection, too, the HER AID pays its respects to
the Attorney General, who "narrowly missed the
splendid reward OF the Chief Justiceshp the price
of his services in such O reconstruction Of Loui-
siana as has accomplished the worst purposes that
the worst OF party plunderers could possibly pro-
pose to themselves And again he lends himself
as the ready tool OF further application OF SINH
lar projects" The Reconstruction" of Louisiana
and the attempted reconstruction or Arkansas are
held up as specimen OF the remedies that this
same official and his backer are ready to extend
to as "many other States as the wicked designs OF
plundering clique may require" The picture,
though strong one, is not exaggerated.

A TRIBUTE TO JOURNALISM.
[From the Pittsburg Commercially

Most readers must have noticed that the EN-.
peror of Russia has conferred the decoration OF the
Oroer of Stanlsiaus on Mr.. McGahan, q CORE
spondent of he NEW YORK HERALD, who accom-
panied the expedition against Khiva. This orna.
ment for the coat buttonhole has been lately re.
ceived at the office OF the Russian Minister at
Washington. The HERALD commissioner may
therefore be supposed to have performed some
service valued by the Gar. The sympathetic
reader will, however, be sorry to learn that the
order Of Stanisaus is the slightest aud most ipsg
nidcant honor Of the kind in Russia, and is be-
slowed with the utmost iberallty, not only by doz
ems but by thousands, on Muscovies and foreign
ers, Kirgises and COssac believers and unoe-
hevers-in a word, on every one who Will
or will not take it, SO says a contemporary. But
possibly it is moved by envy. Doubtless the order
IS q real honor, or 1t would not have been be-
slowed. The best OF such decorations seems to
sensible people at the present day mere bauble.
