LISTEN TO THE COURT.

The United States Supreme Court has
made strong argument In favor OF Gov
eminent aid to complete the Texas and
Pacific Railway. The aid which the
Court has Just approved. in another case
was the issuance of bonds by the Gov
eminent sufficient to cover the cost OF
building the road, and the payment, by
the Government OF the interest on said
bonds until maturity; also loaning said
bonds to the Railroad Company. and
taking from it second mortgage for the
ultimate payment OF principal and inter-
est. We know that the Court was decid-
ing as TO tho proper construction as to
the Act OF Congress in relation to the
Union Pacific road alone. But in rend-
ering the decision arguments are used
which apply with equal force to the
Texas land Pacific Railway. They are
these: "The imperative necessity OF q
national highway to the Pacific, which
would bind together widely separated
parts OF the country, and furnish cheap
and expeditions mode of transportation
for troops aud supplies. Besides there
is vast unpopu'ated territory, lying be-
tween the Mississippi river and the Pa
cific ocean, which Is practically
worthless without facilities afforded by
railroad for the transportion OF per-
sons and property. With its construc-
ton the agricultural and mineral re-
sources of the territory could be devel-
oped. and settlement be possible.
Cheaper Transportation is needed for
mails aud for supplies Of the army and
Indians; and the building of the road is
an unusually bold and hazardous under
taking. Government, therefore, cannot
properly ignore the necessity Of building
it. IT is national work. originating
in national necessity and requiring
national assistance" The Court has
said this as justification of tho remark
able aid extended to the Union Pacific
Company. And now the Texas and Pa
ci6c Railway Company, having similar
work to do, has right to use the Ian
guage Of the Supreme Judges in favor Of
its modest request for simple guarantee
of interest on its own bonds to an amount
not exceeding two thousand dollars pei
mile, the Government receiving ample
indemnity against ultimate loss on &C
count of such euarantee.-lS San Diego
Union.
In the foregoing the Supreme Cour
does certainly make favorable plea TO-
the construction of the Central Pacific
southern rival. II such language is jus
tifisb!e in speaking of Government
aid to q worthy enterprise, such aid con
sisting of princely domain, how nue.
more forcible the argument when a
equally worthy enterprise asks the Gov
eminent for guarantee that the intel
est on its bonds shall for season b
paid, at the same time Offering securit
against possible Governmental loss.

The poet tells US there is no rose with

lowed the pill for the sake OF the sugar
