The Union pnciho Erpoue.

ihe NeW tork limss oeVoted . Whole
page Thursday TO the history 81 the re-
lations Of the Union Pacific railroad to
the government Of the United States and
to many Of the public men OF the country.
The expose began with the gigantic
swindling operations Of the Credit
Mobilier contracts, in which the original
directors Of the road, by making con.
tracts with themselves for Its construc-
tion. gathered in many millions Of dollars
In stocks and bonds to which they had
no moro Just right tnau II they had pur'
Joined them, after the fashion Of the un-
disguised highwsymsn, directly from the
pockets Of the thousands Of men and
women, rich and poor, widows, orphans
ard others who were the rightful owners
OF small parcels Of stock all over the
country.
The expose then proceeded to deal
with Jay Gould's acquisition Of the con-
trolling interest Of the road and to show
how, in absolute defiance Of an express
act OF Congress, he sAddled upon the
compsny the securities" Of the Kansas
Pacific and Denver Pacific roads, which
he had obtained at bankruptcy prices,
and raised the stock Of the company
from $S6, 762, 300 to $6l, 900, 900. 1t tells
how he ran unchecked his high handed
course, doing nothing to provide for the
payment TO the government Of long over
due interest on the subsidy bonds; taking
no step to provide for the final redemp-
tion OF these bonds ; violating the charter
Of the road time and again, almost with.

The New York Times, starting from the
text afforded by the refusal Of ex-
Governor Chamberlain, Of Maine, to vote
for Blaine, goes on to show how the
recent Greenback movement in that state
was really an expression of the anti
Blaine feeling which existed among Mr..
Blaine's own constituents as far back as
1878. The disaffection was so strong that
thousands upon thousands OF Republicans
went over to the Greer back party without
having any interest In its ostensible
object. The result was that the
GreenbaOk vote went up TO 41,000 in
1878 and 1900 in 1872 the Republi-
cans were in the minority and the gov
ernor was elected by the legislature. Ont
Of this came the fusion of Democrats and
Greenbsckers by which the Republican
party was defeated in 1880, when it was
led by Blaine in person.
This was less fusion victory than q
Blaine defeat. His record was too we'll
known to bis people. 1t ia equally we'll
known to them now, but state pride ia
strong the people of Maine are dAzzled
with the chance OF furnishing an occu.
pant for the Presidential chair q chance
which may never come again. Hence
most Of the Maine Republicans are now
ready to shut their eyes and hold their
noses and support the Piumsd Knight
simply because he is Maine man.
But General Chamberlain, says the
7imfs, has conscience too pure and ex
acting to make it possible for him to
share in this enthusiasm. lie knows
Blaine too we'll and abhors the qualities
that make up his public character too
earnestly to shut his eyes to the past and
smother his convictions on account Of
state pride. He would yield to impor-
Unity sufficiently TO invite the candidate
to the BOwdOin College oommencen emit
and make no demonstration Of hostility
against him, but his vote ia his own.

FIRE AT BALDWIhs8.
Nearly Total Destruction of the
Original Locomotive Hh0D.

Nearly Total Destruction of the
Original Locomotive shop.
A fire at O'Clock Monday night In the
Hamilton street machine shop Of the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, Broad and
Hamilton streets, Philadelphia, de.
stroyed the building and damaged
the boiler house adjoining. The loss
could not be positively ascertained, but
1t was estimated at $3.50, 900. About 200
men were employed in the burned build.
ing, many Of whom, 1t is thought, will be
transferred to other departments Of the
works.
The burned building was three stories
in hight, and wRs part OF the L shaped
structure erected by Matthias W. Baldwin,
the founder Of the works, in 1884 He
moved into IT from his former factory on
Lodge alley In 1885. 1t now forms part
Of the boiler and machine shops OF the
present works. Adjoining the burned
building on the north the immense boiler
house extends on Buttonwood street from
Broad to Fifteenth. 1t also extends on
Fifteenth to Hamilton, ard from that
point runs down to the place where the
fire started.
The roof, upper floors and most Of the
Hamilton street walls Of the harmed
building fell about an hour after the fire
began and carried all OF the machinery
with them. What the contents of the
building were could not be definitely
asoertsined, although the tools and ma.
chinery were said to be Of great worth.
Each Of the upper floors were used IS
machine rooms, the implements destroyed
being gauges, planners, patterns, lathes
and articles Of q similar nature. There
were also said to be 100 cylinder patterns
in one OF the upper floors Of the value Of
300 each. None OF the members OF the
firm could be found to give informati, n
IS to the extent Of the damage.
The boiler shop and contents were dam.
aged considerably by water, but It was
thought work could be resumed soon.
The firm of Burnham, Parry, williams
& Co., proprietors Of the Baldwin Locc-
motive Works, set promptly to work
Tuesday to repair the partial destruo-
tion caused by the FIRE at their establish.
ment on Monday night. Only about 200
OF the 1900 hands employed are thrown
ont Of work, which will be but for few
days. The loss, which ia estimated at
$4,000, ia fully covered with insurance,
II Ia said that there was q delay OF 20
minutes between the discovery Of the Ere
and the striking Of an alarm, which is
attributed by some persons to the en-
Ployes and by others to the police.

Now come the earnest workers with their
honorable success. OF all this one can form
from this article and the cuts an excellent idea.
Not the least good has been the detention of
money and orders on this side OF the Atlantic.
Another is the conscientious care bestowed
upon the design Of cheap fabrics. Above all
else, the artists revel in portieres. That in

upon the description of some outlying,
charmingly unfrequented islands, the
Brewsters. 1t is to DC hoped that the usual
