were due. Meanwhile its present security is
still insufficient, but the debtor has additional
securities which may be pledged aud solvent
business capable of paying the entire interest
and part Of the principal each year II he can
only be permitted to conduct and manage II
in accordance with business principles and
with the same freedom enjoyed by his rival.
At present the debtor is hampered both by
partnership and by the cloud upon its credit
caused by the attitude Of the Government.
Surely 1t is to the great advantage of both par
ties that this state Of affairs should cease
that permanent adjustment should be made
which will give the government ample securi
ty for its debt and pay interest in full and
part Of principal each year, and give to the
company freedom Of action in the manage
nent of its business and good credit in fin
ancial centers. The government directors
therefore confidently and earnestly recon-
mend an early a'sage Of the bill now before
Congress unanimously reported by the House
Committee on Pacific Railroads which pro.
