The Northern Pacific Controversy.

PHILADELPHIA, April 1.-While the rumor
that the postponement of the Willard North
ern Pacific railway suit is premature, it is not
without foundation. 1t is learned here that
Mr.. Willard has asked for committee of con-
ference, and such committee has been ap-
pointed by the Northern Pacific company.
There has been no meeting yet, and 1t is not
known what conclusion will be reached. Be-
tween this time and next Thursday there will
no doubt be full and free conference, and if
further legal proceedings can be avoided with.
out injury to the interests of the company an
agreement may be reached which will put
stop to the matter, as far as the courts are
concerned. On one side it will be conceded
that the issue of stock is not new issue in
any sense; that the stock has been reported
as issued for years at the stock ex.
changes in New York and Philadel-
phia, and on the books of the company, and
in the annual report. The Willard party will
hold that, while they do not own majority
of the stock, they do hold such a heavy
amount that they are entitled to fair recog.
milton by the majority, and, further, that the
property of the Oregon company on the Pa
cifc coast can be used to advantage by the
Northern Pacific Railroad company, and that
the interests of the two companies ought to
be made identical. 1t is known that twenty
years ago the Northern Pacific company was

Billings "scoutod the idea" Of such thing,
and it was ntimated in the highest quarters
that the suit would be fought to the bitter
end. Whether there will be any compromise is,
Of course, the merest conjecture, but there was
feeling to-day in financial circles that this
course would not be entirely disadvantageous
to either party. ''It is case" said gentle
man largely interested in the matter, "of great
magnitude, not only to Mr.. Willard and the
railroad company, but to the public. There
may not even be an attempt at compromise,
but do not think there would be any harm
done if an effort was made to get the matter
out OF the court. The stock is virtually tied
up, to the injury of everybody, and o settle.

quickest method of relieving the holders from
the inconvenience they have suffered for some
time. 1 believe the company is right and Mr..
Willard is wrong, but l don't see why there
should not be an arrangement mace in two
hours, if disposition to effect 1t was mani.

The election OF President pro tem. OF the
senate by the Democrats, thus placing
themselves in the line OF succession in case
of the death OF President Arthur, will go
before the country in the light OF taking
advantage OF the crime OF Guiteau. The
people OF the country, at the election last
wear. voted to have Republican admins
tration. The senators. most Of whom were
chosen previous to the last election, when
there we're vacancies which could
have been filled in five minutes time and
il filed would have given different decis-
ion, voted TO reverse the verdict OF the
people and have provided in . certain con-
tiugency, for democratic administration.
OF course IT ia claimed they had lega'
right TO do il aud that the Republicans
would have taken tho same adyansage; but
that does not change the character OF the
transaction. 1t is very frequently lawful to
do things which arc not eIpedient and the
e1cuse for doing thing because somebody
else would do it under like circumstances is
.hreadbare. We believes square. mp and
down policy is best for either party and is
the only thing that is dead sure 10 win.

An article under the abov heading
appeared in the Interstate this week,
cOmplaing Of an alleged action of the
County Commissioners in regard to
the county printing. We have neither
the room nor the inclination to print
the article referred to, but wish to re-
mark that there is hardly q word of
truth i'm il, the most of it being down.
right falsehood, penned and printed
with the full knowledge that it was
such. Our address is 329 Ninth street. }
The assertion that the county print
ing had been LET for the year Is DELHI
crate lie. No such action has been ia
ken. AS to whether Messrs. Christian
and McCarley were in favor Of allow
ing the Interstate slice, we have no
information, but it is safe to say that
the Interstate lied about the matter
also. The statement that Mr.. Long
Overruled the other two Commissioners
is simply ridiculous.
In regard to the attack OH Mr.. Long,
we have simply to say that he has liv-
ed in this community too long to be
injured by ANYTHING the present pro-
priet0r Of the Interstate may say.
Mr.. Long has served the people well
as Commissioner, has always been
Jealous for the public good, and any
