 ! 4 Tribune Scare.
 NEW YORK, December 2S.-The | Tribune thinks a financial crisis sim ! ilar to that of 1873 Is impending as a result of railroad speculations. Take,
 for example, several propositions 10 build roads across that thOusand-mile l belt separating the Mississippi allu- | vial basin from the narrow fringe Oi ! fertile sOIl and scauty population or
 the Pacific Slope, besides The original ! Pacific road, which, after len years Oi experience, finds II impossible to gel l return loads for is cars, and which is
 more than equal to all that can be put l on it. Another is SO nearly com | pleted that the junction of the eastern and western portions at the Ro | Grande is expected early in the new l D. l lation of California Co be about c5O, ] GOO and less than a million for the 1 whole Pacific water shed. One would suppose that with free ocean way, the ! Isthmus route and two railroads in ! operation, all traffic would be accom- . modateG to and from the Pacific. A | madness, born of cheap money, pro- poses to build at least i've more rail- l roads-oue in Canada, two iu Mex 1 ican territory, anu two 20 least on our own. The Northern Pacific, for l which there may be some excuse In the next generation, has yet to encOun- ter its most formidable difficulties oi long, snowy winters in crossing the
 back bore ridge of the continent The [ 3Jth parallel route has even less cN- l cusc, as there are the same mountain chains, with scarcely vcsiiEe ot | population or anything cu which Co l support it. That part which IS not mountainous is either deep ravines
 or dry desert, and ii is closely Thanked throughout by the 32I parallel, or
 Texas Pacific route. uov approaching cOmDleuOn. What r1UOual induce
 ment can be fouCd for cmbarklng iu
 colossal schemes, unless, as before
 said. it be the facility with which
 projectors can borrow from credulOus capitalists money enough co build the
 railroads and leave a balance Co the
 pocket as profit.
