A WHINE FROM THE C. P. r. X.

The Record Union, in commenting on the
recent sale Of so 900 shares of the Central Pa
ei6e stock, contradicts the statement that the
company will give up the management of the
northern road and hasten to complete the
Central Pacific. 1t says: " So far as can be
asoertained there is no ground for this theory
and it would probably not have been enter
tanned but for the general recognition of the
fact that the treatment hitherto accorded the
present managers of the road has not been
salculsted to develop in them a very hearty
enthusiasm for the work they have been iden-
titled with The above reminds one of a
beggar, who, after being fed and clothed at a
private residence, goes away With t0ll belly
and throws brickoats at the house of his ben
efaetor. The time was when the present man
ayers of the Central Pacific were crawling on
their hands and knees before the people of
California and Nevada, to secure subsidies for
the proposed road. They would lick the boots
of any man, no matter how humble, IT he
could he used as an instrument to further their
designs These miserable mendicanss crawled
and whined for the subsidy crust until they
got start in the world, with coin which came
directly from the pockets of the people whom
they now take every occasion to snub and
brow beat After they once got foothold in
the country they turned their backs upon ey
erybody and everything. All of the poverty
bred magnates of this railroad are now rolling
in wealth wrung from the people of California
and Nevada by a series of imposi'ions and ex
tortions such as we're never before known in
the history of railroad transportation While
enjoying the results OF the peoples generosity
thew have reached pitch of conceit which has
caused them to forget an origin which was fos-
tered in ignorance and poverty, and they now
tsrn about and fing the charge of harsh treat
ment in the teeth of their benefactors. Once
they were at the feet of everybody and any
body, and now their browning ambition is to
walk upon and crush from existence every en-
terprise which will not bend to their dictates.
They seek to govern everything commercial
and political, and think thar NO enterprise,
however humble, should be inaagurated on
the Pacific Coast without their agents are first
consulted. The public at large are beginning
to lose patience with the vulgar ostentatious-
ness Of these upstairs, and the business men
Of Nevada are tired of starving themselves that
gorged corporation should be further en-
rched Next fall the coin of the G. p. r. r.
will be lsvishly used to corrupt the politics of
Nevada. The very money drawn from the
pockets of the people by extortonate freight
tariffs will be used to still further grind them
in the dust 1t remains with the people them
selves to see whether or not this programme
will succeed As the APPgAL has before ex
pressed itself, it believes that the g. r rail
road can step in and purchase ma jority of the
votes of Nevada, and Bill Sharon can take q
ajority of what remains. What is left of
decency and honesty after that will not be of
sufficient bulk to make itself felt or heard
