Sidney Dillon. President, just published, figures
are made to show;

Iy testify" from which one is led to suppose
that the debt OF April 30 1875, either 81, l57,-

Now, compare these figures with those pub

TO have been the Indebtedness at that tune.
Again, Mr.. Scott, IN his letter Of Oct. 2 1873,
says; with a continuance OF the present sys-
tenn OF management the total expenses should
not exceed IS per cent. Of the gross earnings,
which. alter II reasonable allowance Tor depre-
citation, would leave a surplus OF upward of

tue expenses are 81 $40 per cent, instead Of
"6j per cent aud the surplus only 1854 ,ued,
without any allowance for depreciation or pro-

from the Neic fort Times.
Mr.. Elisha Atkins Of Boston thinks that
because nothing came out Of Mr.. Bl ines small
flyer" in Northern Pacific stock. therefore 1T Is
very absurd to make any reference to It," the
criticism quite apart from the question Of re-
suits. Mr. Blaine is a public man whose char
acter and antecedents are A. present ma.tersof
a better understanding of Mr.. Blaine Is worthy
Of attention. We print special despatch from
Washington which will assist our readers
10 form a clear idea Of what kind OF wares II
was which MIR. Blaine offered for sale. The
common stock OF the Northern Pacific Railroad
never represented anything hut "A very small ex-
penditnre of actual cash. Tho twelve owners
bought the franchise OF the road for All almost
nominal consid erati0n from tts original holders.
As the contraction OF the road was paid for
out OF the proceeds OF bonds which represented
a mortgage both on the road and its ACCOMPANY
lng land ant, the Issue Of common stock, which
went on contemporaneOuslyw With construction,
was the creation OF a species OF properly whicn
was, as nearly as possible, fictitious In his role
OF the disinterested stock broker, Mr.. Blaine was
therefore attempting to sell cert In pieces OF
paper purporting To De bart OF purely imagin-
arv aggregate value OF some eighty millions OF
dollars.
We have no idea that Mr. Blaine understood
the true character OF the scIip wnoh he offered
TO his friends. lie had evidently FIRST deluded
himself into believing that IL carried with II ,er-
tain valuable privileges. before making that rep
resentatiOn to others. 1t Is absu!d TO srDposs
that Mr.. Blaine was deliberately disIngenuOus
when he wrote so graDdiloquentIy about an "in-
terest" which was really a very trumpery affair,
but certainly no particular credit can be claimed
on his behalf for returning money which was
given to him under totally erroneous opinion
OF the purpose for which IL was to be invested.
he fact IL. the letter Is "a much a reflection on
Mr. Blaine's "smartness IA IL l. on the keen
ness Of his moral perceptions. IL IL not worth
while for Mr.. Atkins OF any other sympathetic
friend Of Sir. Blame to.defend him because the
proposed transaction mlscarried. any more than
II Is worth while for his enemies to assail him
the theory that there behind IL any great
scheme OF Joboery. The legitimate CONCLUSIONS
TO be deduced from this whole business are,
first, that M Blaine Is a man much more easily
taken In tn 10 people have supposed and sec
ond, that whether as chance for making fey
thousand dollars or serving a friend, he was will
ing To daDble In stock which, assuming II to
have been ali he behaved II To be- his public po-
sition ought to have declared him from touch
ing Ia any form Whatever. Neither conclusion
is likely to improve Mr.. Blaine's chances ~

sPEAKER KERR'S List BOURs.

For a long time Dir. Kerr had been
satisfied that his end WAS near. 10
friends who sought to cheer him by pro-
Tossing to see in bis looks change for the
better, be simply replied; q" No, / am
not better; ] am worse. | am not get
ting we'll" SO important was truth
held to be by him that he never allowed
himself to indulge in the little exagger-
ated batteries and aduIations so common
to most people.
A few days before his death, Mrs
Kerr had a conversation with his son, in
the course of which he said: 81 have
nothing to leave you, my son, except my
good name. Guard it and your mothers
honor. and live as l have lived" He
leaves very little Of this worlds goods
not enough to supply the family with
a living. In the same conversation he
further said: "Pay all my debts if my
estate will warrant it, without leaving
your mother pennilcss; otherwise, pay
what YOU can, and then go TO my credi-
tors and tell the truth, and pledge your
honor to wipe out the Indebtedness
In religious matters Mr.. Kerr was a
liberal thinker. lie might be said to
have been a nationalist, accepting moth
ing which did not bear the impress of
nrobability. Without admitting the di-
v;nitv of Jesus Christ, he was an advo-
cote of his code of morals. To be honest,
and true. and just was in his belief to he
a good christian. Early this afternoon
he was visited 10y the Rev Mr.. Harris,
,res;dent of the female seminary at
S,aunton. who, with view to sounding
him az to his religious views, asked;
hope you are prepared for better life
hereafter, Mr.. Kerr"
The reply was prompt inclination OF
the head in the affirmative.
Again the minister asked: " ! trust
Won have a firm faith in the merits OF
our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ"
After a moments hesitation, in which
he seemed TO be carefully weighing the
question. Mr.. Kerr shook his head
slowly. 1t was a fine distinction 70
make. and 'one worthy of the fine ana
lvtical mind which maintained the SUI
premacy 10 the last.
Finding that speaker Kerr could not
carry on a conversation, Mr- ha.['
promised to pray for him, 70 when M
Kerr whispered, Il thank YOU
To Mr.. Cox's inquiry whether ne We, =,
content to die, he nodded 'r'ns""
assent.
