THE MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILROAD
What tho Stockholders nre Called upon TO

What tho Stockholders are Called upon to
Do-A Plan Of Decentralization.
Several months ago the Atlantic and
Pacific Railroad, which controlled the Pacific
Railroad OF Missouri by virtue OF a lease. de-
faulted on its obligations. II had guaranteed
six per cent dividends upon Missouri Pacific
stock and also the interest on its various issues
Of bonds. 1t failed In both undertakings.
Soon afterward meetings OF the Missouri Pa
ciac stock olders were held In Wall street. which
attracted a great deal Of attention, owing to the
violent character Of the proceedings. Misso ri

ty-hve, broke down rapidly to twelve and has
huctuated most OF the time since between ten

which In spite OF It's default still tried to keep
control OF tue Missouri Pacific by virtue OF Its
lease foreclosure proceedings must be resort

Commodore Garrison held the largest part OF
the third mortgage bonds and accordingly be-
gan n suit In the courts Of Missouri To foreclose
the road. on the ground that the interest had
been paid neither by the Missouri Pacific nor
by the Atlantic and Pacific. which had guaran-

least the extent OF one-thsrd, while the
clnss from which Newport. Saratoga, and
long Branch look for patronage il limited
and has not increased. We argue, there
fore, that IL the fashionable summer hotels
maintain their prices at four and I'VE dol
lars a day, they will at the end OF the
season find diminution Of at least one
third in their gross receipts as against the
receipts OF former years. These last twelve
months have greatly impoverished very
many Of those who had suything TO lose.
1t would no doubt be the part OF wisdom
for the hotel keepers of Saratoga, New
port, and Long Branch to reduce their
prices very greatly, and announce the re-
duction by extensive Advertisements in all
our large cities. BY this means they would
appeal to a very considerable GLASS Of peo-
ple In moderate circumstances, who can
not afford TO pay the higher rates.

For the Next National Convention.

The road TO Democratic success Is plain
10 those who look at the situation with an
nnprejudiced eve. The Southern Democ-
ncy will support any fair candidate. but
prefer man who favors honest money
ana is committed by his acts to admins
irative reform. Gov. TILDES meets both
these acquisitions. The Southern States,
leaving out South Carolina and Florida,
:asi III electoral votes. This Is 81 short OF
4 majority, or so If Colorado is counted.
Now, to say nothing Of half dozen
doubtful states in the North and West, the
States of New York, Connecticut, New
Jersey, California and Oregon cast %
electoral votes, or just enough to make up
a majority. These States, with a Presi-
dental candidate who believes in sound
money, and Is known beyond all dispute
10 be heartily in favor Of u thorough re-
form in the Administration, would surely
20 Democratic. Gov. TILpES comes fully
mp to the mark on both these subjects.
II Gov. HENDRICKS should be nominated
Tor Vice-President along with Gov TIL
DEN, this combination would probably
carry Indiana at the important election IN
october, and gain her eleven votes in No
rember. With such a ticket the Demo.
;rats would stand an even chance for car
ryiug five or six other States in the North
and West.

Another LiuIe Affair OF Bro,her BIa,ug..

AUGUSTA, June 1.-THE recent develop
ments with regard to Mr.. Blaine recall some
facts that occurred In 1881.
1t so CHANGED that a gentleman from Bang
and gentleman from Boston were telegra ph ed
to In the early summer OF 1891 by the then
Adjutant-0eneral OF Maine, Gen. Hodsden, to
meet Mr.. Blaine that evening at the fremont
House, Boston, with view Of selling him some
boots and shoes That night and tho following
they were At the fremont, but no Blaine ap-
peared. Finding that he was visiting a friend
In Otis street, Boston, tho Boston gentleman
waited upon Blaine there to be Informed that
the purchase bad been made IN Portland, al
though Gen. H0dsden desired the goods TO be
purchased from bis correspondents, TO whom he
had telegraphed.
II bapp- nod. singularly enough. that but br Z

with cut showing the appearance of the shoes

The New Secretary.

GRANT has gone into the Senate for n
successor to BEN. BRIsTow, as Secretary OF
the Treasury. morrill, Of Maine was
Chairman OF the Senate Committee on
Appropriations, is humdrum party man,
and has been n faithful upholder OF
n faithless Administration. Under him
the Treasury will fall back into the old
ruts, and the energetic work of BRIsTow,
which has given GRANT so much trouble,
will be brought to an end. He will be n
far more serviceable man 10 the party dur
ing Presidential campaign than BR1sTow
could have been. He will Use his depart
ment as an electioneering machine; he will
subserve the interests OF the party at the
expense of the public service; aud he Will
not stir up the opposition OF the rogues by
interfering with their operations.
MORRILL, is no reformer. He has not
sought that kind of name during his long
period OF service in tho Senate. The
whiskey thieves and the other Rings Of
revenue plunderers will enjoy period OF
rest during the remainder of GRANTS adj
ministration. Nor will MORRILL, borrow any
trouble from the cry for retrenohment and
economy. These are not matters in which
he has concerned himself "a n Senator, or
as Chairman of the Committee on Appro-
priations Nor will morrill, have any
thing of consequence TO put out or suggest
In the way OF financial policy. In short,
the machine, rs a whole, will run In his
hands very much us it ran in those OF
BOUTWELL,.
With the Treasury Department under
MORRILL,, the Interior under ZACH. CuAND-
| LER, the Post Offioo under JEWELL, and
the War and Navy Departments under
| CAMERON and RoBEsoN, GRANT has q
working Cabinet for the election, and
all the power of the Administra-
ton can now be turned, without
obstruction, into the service of the party
of corruption. BRIsTow was IN obstruc-
ZIONIST; he irritated the President; he
attacked his friends; he fell foul of the
Rings which he set up; he endangered the
party. and refused TO sacrifice everyth ne
for its sake; he attended TO his proper
business, and tried 10 perform Il
| in a creditablc way. MORRILL, will
be q safer man. He will suit GRANT better
than BRIsrow did; he will suit his col
leagues in the Cabinet better; and he will
suit the Republican party better; but a

of Indiana for Woe president on the same
ticket with Gov. TILDES of New York for
President, seems TO be received with great
satisfaction in various parts of the coun-
try. In Kentucky especially 1t is well
coined, and the Courter-J ourndl says that
1.-THE popular feeling Is solid and earnest
in this direction"
No doubt such ticket would be exceed
ingly strong everywhere. While the COM
bnation would not in any way lessen the
strength Of Gov. TILDEN as reformer and
a hard-money man-sinoe Nj. HENDRICKS
