moment that the receiver of the Bankers &
Merchants Telegraph company is proceed
ing against Jay Gould and his Western
Union company for wrecking rival sys-
tenn, the stockholders of the Texas 81 Pacific
railway are charging Jay Gould with
wrecking that company in the interest of
the Mexican Pacific. The road was placed
in the receivers hands last December and
Judge Pardee appointed John c. Brown
and eX-Gov. Sheldon as the receivers. The
former is one Of the Gould officers of the
road and solicitor of Gould's Southwestern
system. Ex-Gov. Sheldon appears to
have some ideas of his own about
running railroad and is entirely
satisfactory to the stockholders. Last
month Isaac j. Wistar, Lewis May, G. e.
Satterlee. B. f. Newcomer, John Markoe,
w. ID. Minsor, john l.. Welch and j. N.
Hutchinson were appointed committee
Ito represent all interests" and they issued
plan of reorganization on April 81. This
plan was not satisfactory to the share
holders, and week or two ago the latter
met and appointed MIR. Burr Jr, z. Good
hard and John Bloodgood as committee to
represent them. The holders of the income
and land grant bonds have also appointed a
committee consisting of Simeon j. Drake,
Christopher Myer, w. o. Hall and M.
Strauss. Five of the eight members of the
first philadelphia committee" as it is
called, are directors of the road. and it is
freely charged by the stockholders that the
Philadelphia committee simply represents
the desires of Jay Gould in regard to the
reorganization.
Jay Gould has simply wrecked this road,
said Henry Clewes, who presided at the stock
holders meeting yesterday. The plan is to
reorgan1ze the road through foreclosure,
Which makes a forfeiture of it's present
United States charter. A state charter is to
be substituted therefor, which admits of the
road being gobbled up at bankrupt price by
few individuals and leased to the Missouri
Pacific in perpetuity. This action is pro-
hibited by its present charter. My position
In this matter was fully set forth in my re-
marks at the stockholders meeting. l said
then: l must say that have very little con-
fidence in the Philadelphia committee. 1t is
quite apparent that they are not only readyDut
willing to sacrifice your property for the bene-
lit of the Missouri Pacific Railroad company.
The management heretofore has been at
tended with the suspicion of unfairness to-
wards stockholders, as the road has been run
for all it was worth solely in the interests of
the Missouri Pacific company, and it's present
deplorable condition is an evidence that the
treatment it has received has been unjust, to
say the least. Before the road was placed in
the hands of receiver it's running expenses
were S71a per cent. of tue gross earnings.
Since then they have been reduced to 70, and,
after being put in fairly good condition, the
road can be run at co. which would not only
provide for fixed charges, but would admit of
dividend on the stock besides. This is the
estimate of those who are good judges OF the
property. The only safety is to retain the
management in the hands of the receivers.

himself strongly "in favor of Congress
taxing bogus butter, so as to give the
makers of real butter their fair rights, -
and adds that he needs nj "urglng to
look after the interests of our farmers. "
That is at least a frank avowal by the
Vermont Senator that his motive IN
favoring the anti. Oleomargarine bill be-
fore the Senate is to secure protection to
the dairy interests. Now, Mr.. Edmunds
has the reputation of being one OF the

gress has power to tax a domestic COM
modify only for needed revenue. and
that legislation for the protection OF any
industry under the cloak of q tax law Is
a violation of the spirit, if not the letter,
of the Constitution? Senator Edmunds

scheme. When spoken to on the subject
