,Jay GOull,

The special New York correspondent
of the Philadelphia Times thus describes
the remarkable man who owns the
Union Pacific railroad:
Jay Gould is conservative capitalist.
He owns the only railroad between the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, except at
Panama. His ambition and desire is
to keep that property up to dividend
paying figure. Everybody predicted
that it would break him, but by retain
ing great legal counsel and having an
inherently strong case, Gould won two
great suits for his rights in the railroad,
and meantime squelched his enemies in
Pacific Mail, the only active rival to
his railroad. He got judgment against
the Mail company for moneys advanced,
etc., and made them pay him about S2,-
100000 from an empty exchequer.
This loss crippled the company and
virtually threw it out of competition.
Gould was inexhaustible in resources,
both pecuniary and legal. His wealth
is supposed to be underrated. His au-
dacity is startling. He pays for infor-
nation more than the elder Bennett
ever paid for news. He works night
and day, and is the only man to whom
the street phrase does not apply, "that
early information and large bank ac-
count will burst anybody

Inflammation of the gums were found
which were accounted for by the
presence of tartar on the front teeth,
which was readily removed. Mr..
Houses operations, yesterday, were
closely watched by a large number of
horsemen, and many who were unable
to account for sensitive mouths in their
trouble was with their teeth.
The animals rather appear to like
having their mouths worked upon, and
Mr.. House says he never had one
attempt to bite him. He runs his
hands and arms into their mouths
freely, and works away upon the sensi-
tive parts without causing the horse to
exhibit signs of pain or uneasiness.

Dentistry on Horses.

1t is generally believed even among
the best horsemen in the country, that
glanders is quite prevalent among
horses. Many valuable animal has
been killed by direction of his owner
because of an offensive discharge from
the nostrils, which has been considered
as a pure indication that the horse is
affected with that dreaded glanders.
The fact is that cases of glanders are
few and far between. G. d. House,
the veterinary dentist, says that in his
experience he has never known but two
cases, although he has known of
hundreds of instances when horses
have been killed because they were
supposed to be affected with this disease.
The whole trouble arises from neglect
of the teeth.
Yesterday, Mr.. House operated upon
the horses Of the Hambletonian breed
ing studs, of DR.. Flagg, c.. NJ. Dyer :,
Washburn 81 Vaughn and w. G. Strong,
pulling or cutting, or filing the teeth of
nearly every animal he examined. In
one horses mouth the wolf teeth
were found to be entirely covered by
the gum, and detached from the jaw,
so that every time the bit was moved in
the horses mouth these teeth were
turned, crowded and jammed in the
gum, of course, causing the horse to
Jump and run. Another case was
found where the grinders had been
worn rough and uneven, and were
slightly displaced, SO that the horse in
eating was continually grinding away
upon the inner lining of the mouth,
keeping it constantly raw and painful,
and of course making the beast cross
and irritable. Still another case was
where one of a colts temporary teeth,
after being partially forced from its
place by the second teeth, had remain.
ed fastened by one fang, and in such g
position as to grind continually upon
the gum while the animal was feeding
and yet so nicely had the decayine
tooth been lodged that its presence was
only detected by the offensive odol
! arising therefrom. Several cases oi

Since it has been so judicially deter
mined that this indebtness is not due
until the maturity of the subsidy bonds,
interests cannot be computed upon the
amounts paid by the treasury. The
annual interest upon the amount owed
by the Union Pacific is 81 ,634, 100, and
upon that owed by the Central Pacific
and Western Pacific (the two having
been amalgamated), S1,671 $40. Any
annual payments by these companies
less than the foregoing sums will leave
the present Indebtedness n constantly
increasing quantity, except so far as it
may be reduced by compounding the
interest on such payments semi-annual-
ly. Statements have been put forth
from time to time implying that the
sum due to the government in 1897 will
be three or four hundred millions of
dollars, such statements being intended
to create belief in the public mind
that any kind of a settlement with the
railroads now would be better than
waiting until the loan comes due.
What the aggregate Indebtedness would
be if the law were different-if it
were such that compound interest could
be claimed by the governments moth
ing to the purpose. We are only con-
cerned with the law as it is. 1t pro-
vides merely for the reimbursement of
moneys actually paid out of the public
treasury. 1t was hard bargain, but
is q bargain, and while the railway
companies insist that the government
shall stand up to it, it is for the govern
ment to insist that they stand up to it
also, and fortunately the two principal
companies are quite able to do so. New

The Government and the Pacific Rail-
WAYS.

During the dispute over the presi-
dency in the last session of Congress, a
bill to provide for the payment of the
Indebtedness of the several Pacific
railways to the government was some
what lost sight of by the public, and
was finally dropped for want of time.
The subject was first brought forward
by the Union Pacific railroad company
in a letter from Sidney Dillen, its
president, to the secretary of the treas
ury, dated February 9, 1876. The
following table shows the Indebtedness
of the several companies to the govern
ment as returned in the public debt
statement for July, and as it will be at
the maturity Of the subsidy bonds,
twenty years hence, supposing that in
the meantime they repay one-quarter of
