POSITION TEE SOUTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY.
The Southern Pacific railroad, by force Of the abb
solute necessity of its securing Eastern connections
possibe in order to preserve its capital
the only party which has both the power and the dis
position to build this road.
The Southern Pacific company interposed no OPP
position to the guarantee asked by the Texas and Pa
cifc east of the Bio Grande; but contemplating the
contingency Of the denial of guarantee Of bonds to
the Texas and Pacific company, and the consequent
total collapse of its undertaking, strongly insisted
that justice required that they should be held in
check awaiting the result of continued applications
by the Texas and Pacific company for the money or
credit of the nation with which to perform what the

want to use 1t for military purpose, any more than
they may go into partnership with stock raiser be-
cause horses are necessary in The United States
have power to regulate foreign commerce between the
States, but it does not follow that they may indorse
the notes of shipbuilder or merchant by way of
stimulating and encouraging business. The under
signed is unable to perceive any distinction in prin-
cple between these and the demand of the pro-
jectors Of this railroad for loan of the
credit to the extent of many millions with which to
prosecute private speculation.
DANGER OF SUBSIDIES.
The railroad company which asks for this enor.
nous appropriation of credit presents claim upon
the public which entities it to exemption from the
general rule The enterprise is essentially private
one, and the company has already received from the
United States and the State Of Texas sufficient basis
of credit to have built the road had its assets been
prudently managed
The undersigned is not unmndful Of the fact at a
later period different rule of construction prevailed
from that which in the earlier days of the republic
and which Is now here insisted upon.
Undeegated power is necessarily unregulated and
unrestrained. Power usurped never was and never
will be honestly administered.
But 1t is submitted that this belief affords no su-
Gent justification for the guarantee and subsidy
asked. For 1t rendered. as it is not that this
enterprise is essentially of the Southern character
with which it s attempted to be stamped, no reason
can be built upon that fact which may not be urged
with equal force why the government
should equaize between the lately contending sec
lions all the losses resulting from stour unfortunate
civil disturbances.'

Tho Public Don't.

We propose to say something on this vexed
question hereafter. we hayo distinct vews
about the matter, and while wo oppose repudia-
tion, both in law and in fact. we do not oppose
tho ghost Of Reputation called up by ignoring
that portion Of our debt not created In strict
conformity to law. We favor tho rejection of
every part and parcel Of the public debt which
has not both tho letter and spirit of law to sup
port 1t, and especially the Radical debt. Whle
we go thus far rs to the post war debt, we
clearly sustain the Funding Act, settling the
debt Of tho State, that is Tho valid debt at fifty
conts on tho dollar. Few Of our people realized
after tho war fifty per cont. of their actual
wealth, and if State creditors got this much they
ought to bo thankful and acquicsco. IF they
do not feel thus, then wo favor making them
feel so by sustaining the Funding Act rs to all
bona fidc unto and post war debts aud repudiat-
ing or rejecting all other claims. A settlement
on this basis would be just and equitable aud
could not affect the credit of tho Stato.

TIle FREQ Schools.

Tho Legislature passed before adjournment
the joint resolution making It o constitutional
provision to levy q tax Of two mills for the sup
port OF the FREQ schools This resolution is not
without Its Objectionable features, but was
passed In conformity to the promises Of the
Democratic party in tho last State election.
This will give us about $3,622. with tho poll
tax, say about $l,600, making q total of
S6'l22 to be expended in our county. This
sum will run the schools four or five months
perhaps. It is at any rate larger sum than
has been expended for this purpose for many
years.

- People, who are rich and enjoy tho priyir
lego Of choosing between two desirable things,
can afford to dispute about hard money and
delighted with enough Of either of tho doar
oharmors. We like gold and favor tho rea
monctization of silver, but wo bear no averr
sion to the pretty greenback. We want
money, and we WON'T complain about its being
hard or soft, vegetable, animal or mineral, if
it has purchasing value or will pay off old
scores In fact, we consider that the dcpreci.
ated value Of groenbacks just after tho war
was q blessing to our impoverished and debt
bound people. The debtor could pay with
ono real dollar nearly ono dollar and fifty
cents on his debts, and the creditor was glad
to get it in that way. Both were made happy
ono in the consciousness of having paid his
debts and the other in getting what he feared
was Sst. 10 us tho approximation Of papor
money to the value Of gold has been injurious
as it has produced o shrnkage of yalao
before our people wero ready for it. AS
however it has come about, the prices of
articles hove become more settled, and the
country is on tho road to solid prosperity
This must have taken place sooner'or lator,
and now that it has come we must seek to
abide the results. While this is true, we are
not disposed to make any issue about silver
and gold, greenbacks and legal tenders.
They are all nearly on par in value and We
arc glad to get any Of the olassos Of money
The reconciliation of silver has been opposed
by many on the ground that it allows large
silver owners to make profit out of the diff
ference between tho two metals. With us
tho two arc equally taken and what we want
most is more of both. While we oppose ex-
pansion Of tho currency as fostering past
habits OF extravaganza, we equally oppose too
rapid contraction, as creating distress. Tho
reconciliation Of silver will bring moro Of it
into circulation, and it will take the place Of
change bills to a great extent. 1t will be
rarely abused by tho payment of large debts
with it rs heretofore forbidden, In fow
years oil the surplus above what is required
