TOM SCOTS CONVENTION.

On Tuesday there met in st. Louis so.
called western railroad convention, butreally
IA convention to manufacture capital in favor
of congressional subsidy to Tom SCOTS
Texas Pacific Railway. There were said to
be 1,000 delegates present, about half Of them
from St Louis, and the balance scattered
over the western and southern states. Among
the delegates we see mentioned rs present
the Hon. VIM. Reddck and Hon. J. ID.
Cation, of this city, neither OF whom, we imag.
inc, however, was thcre-therr names getting
on the list because Gov. Beveridge had APP
pointed them as delegates. The convention
did up its business without much waste of
time in talking. Judge Stanley Matthews,
of Cincinnati, was president fauked by half
a dozen of vice-presidents. Among the ac-
tive participants in the proceedings was the
rebels eX-president jeff Davis. A long COM
municaton from Scott was read, and then a
dozen or two of "cut and dried" resolutions
were introduced and adopted without debate,
upon which the convention adjourned The
resolutions are sonorous and eloquent ain
favor of government aid in the construction
of railroad with its western terminus at
San Diego, California, and its eastern ter.
minus all along the Mississippi river, from
lis mouth to Memphis. The whereases and
declarations constitute an argument, the bur
den of which is that the road is great ma
tional enterprise, that it will bind tie coun-
try together, save money to the treasury, con-
tribute to the public defense, antagorize ae
Union and Central Pacific mOnopolies, and
benefit everybody in the country.
While all this may be so, the people n ny
yet feel very much like hating when Il ey
exactly understand what granting the pro-
posed subsidy to this railroad project III
wolves
The road and its branches are estimated 10
be about 2,7C0 miles in length. The subsidy
asked is that the L. S, shall guaranty the in.
terest at 5 per cent. on the bonds of the com.
pany to the amount of $4,000 a mile of the
road, or $l08,0O0,000 in all.
Five per centum interest on this is $5,4OO,.
900 year, or $21G,OO0000 FOR the Nhole term
of forty years. 1t is not such a trife after
all, when one sees the tooings. But" say
these mid spectators, 'the government is
not asked to pay these sums-all we ask is
that she shall stand as security. She will
have first mortgage on the road which must
secure her against any loss" The people
found out by the grand Union and Central
Pacific swindles what this "first mortgage"
amounts to. When the road is built and
really begins to earn something, credit mo-
bilier raid is made on congress and the first
mortgage" is changed into second or third,
and thus made worthless. Besides there is
no decent pretext for asking such vast sums
in aid of this road. If 1t Is so sure to pay
in the end" there is abundant private capt
tai lying idle that is seeking investment in
just such sure paying project Z
