the Pacific Railroads.

Messrs Dillon and Huntington
representing. respectively, the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific
railroads, begin to realize the
necessity of coming down from the
position they first assumed. They
have confessed that the plea of
poverty hitherto urged in the name
OF their companies is false, and
that the companies really are able
to pay much more than they have
hitherto been disposed to contrib.
ute to the proposed sinking fund.
The proposition originally submit
ted in behalf of the companies was,
that they should annually pay half
million each to the National
Treasury, in addition to the five
per cent. of the net earnings and
the one-half of the earning on ac-
count of Government transporta-
ton, which, under the present law,
the Treasury is authorized to re-
tain. The INSULT cheney of this sum
for the purpose intended was APP
parent, but the companies con-
tended it was all they could afford.
The recently published report of
the Government Directors of the
Union Pacific proved the untruth.
fulness Of the allegation. The
bias of these officials is
much too evident. Appointed
to protect public interests,
the tone of their comments on the
question of Indebtedness betrays
throughout a disposition to make
terms favors BILE to the companies.
In spite of this inclination, how
ever, the report, as we have had
occasion to show, establishes the
ability of the Union Pacific to con-
tribute considerable more than a
million, yearly, and still to have in
hand the means of paying liberal
dividend on stock on which not
more than two per cent. was ever
paid. Our information Of the Cen
trail Pacific is less precise. 1t is a
close corporation. whose condition
lie known only to the favored few.
Some of its detractors insist that
its dividends have not been earned
and that the prestige of prosperity
is undeserved. Systematic secrecy
suggests different state Of things,
and one more in harmony with
the pretensions of the company on
the Pacific Coast and at Washing
ton.-N Y Times.

The Southern IL .firond TO the
Pacific.

The Southern Pacific Railroad
Company, which in this connec-
ton is only another name for the
Central Pacific, have spent some
millions of dollars, which ought to
have been paid into the Govern
ment Treasury, in building their
road from San Francisco to Fort
Yuma; and now they are pressing
for the opportunity to continue
their track across Arizona, New
Mexico and Texas to meet Eastern
connections, the object being not
only to control our middle route to
the Pacific, but the Southern also.
There are those who, not examin-
ing the facts or thinking Of the
consequences, or else having been
boughtup by this great monopoly,
ask: "Why not let them do it?"
"If there are parties who will
build this great Southern line to
the Pacific on their own account,
why should any object?" There
would be more force in this ques-
tion if the magDates of the South
ern Pacific Railroad really and
justly owned the money they are
thus using, and the nation were
not taxed millions of dollars to pay
interest on their bonds, when they,
long since, were able aud ought to |
have been compelled to shoulder
the burden themselves. But there |
are also other considerations which
The people should ponder we'll,
never, especially losing sight of
The boldness of this attempt to
both routes to the Pa
,ific SO as to place this immense
.raffic in the hands Of one corpora
lion and charge what prices they
moose. The True Citizen. ]

ace. The hotel on the Rue de Til
sit, commanding a view of the Arc
de Triom phe, is built around three
sI'ies of a square, forming the inner

transformed into an entrance hall,
On the ground floor is the Pompsii-
nm suite, comprising a breakfast
room, an aviary and aquarium, and
a smoking room. The walls are
exquisitely painted in fresco, with
a reproduction of the most cele-
brated of the wall decorations of
Pompeii. The carpets, the furni-
ture, the china, the bangings, are
accurate and beautiful reproduc
lions of ancient models. A broad
and stately staircase leads to the
second floor, where are situated he
reception rooms, the large drawing
room and the dlning-room. The
dining room is panDelled and
draped with golden olive brocaded
satin, the woodwork dark, with u
light relieving of golden lines. On
the evening when General Grant
was there, the hostess received her
guests in small drawing.room
hung with blue satin aud furnished
with Gobelin tapestry. This room
opened into The spacious ball room,
the fireplace Of which was filled
with colossal bouquet of violets
and camelias, with the letter "G"
in white camelias in the centre.
