THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.


PcrversiOn of the Govern
ment's Assets.
Washington special, April 8: Some MEM
bers Of the house committee on Pacific rail.
roads have been making q careful study at the
interior department Of the facts In the case, 80
that they can Judge of the extraordinary
claims Of the Pacific railroad lobby In the In
terest Of the funding scheme. 1t has been
found that the roads have been doing all they
can to get the securities now In the treasury
out Of their hand, 10 that they will be beyond
the reach Of government claims. The govern
nent has now q better chance for asserting its
rights than 1t will ever have in the future.
OF the princely land grant to the
Union Pacific railroad but 81, 8 $50 worth
Of land remains, and $ll, 769, O66 worth
Of Kansas Pacific company's grant, as
there have been sold since 1880, 6,414, 500
acres, for sl4.6s4, 1888, and, as out of these
sales and preceding years land grant bonds
have been anticipated at q premium of - pei
cent, leaving about $9,OOO,0OO In cash And
mortgage notes In the hands OF land trustees
1t would seem to be policy on the part Of an,
government DESTROYS to secure o part OF the
rapidly maturing and Increasing Indebtedness
to take proper legal steps to secure this 90,
0t0,' 90, and to have the benefit Of the pro-
ceeds OF all sales Of the $l3,5 500, 600 worth of
land still left.
BY this process the government would Sc
cure t22, COO, 900 Of the loan Of $4s, S64, $50. II
no steps are taken to secure these assets, the
Union Pacific company, embroidered by Its
course In the past, proposes to use them In
anticipating some $13, 1851, 600 sinking fund
bonds issued in 1874, due in 1894, carrying s
per cent interest, and selling at 20 per cent
premium. No one could have criticised
similar conduct II the first mortgage bonds
had been anticipated, thus reducing the
amount of the claim on the road ahead OF the
government lien. But to sell the assets eov-
cred by the government mortgage and use the
proceeds In anticipation OF bonds behind is n
perversion Of the assets In a most shameful
DEGREE.

The Pharmacy Law.

Under the pharmacy law just enacted by the
legislature the registered pharmacist has the
sole right to retail all medicines and poisons,
purposes. He must first procure q permit
from the board Of supervisors, who shall grant
the same at the request of Is per cent. of the
freeholders In the town or ward. He will then
procure from the county auditor a shipping
permit, emitting him to have liquors shipped
to him. Every purchaser OF liquor from the
pharmscist signs a duplicate receipt, one copy
OF which Is kept by the pharmacist, the other
being forwarded with the monthly report to
the county auditor. The pharmacisJ who In
any way abuses his trust is subject to the Sc
verest penalties Of the law against the sale Of
intoxicants, and for the second offense hts
certificate will be revoked. thus making It i'm
possible for him ever after to engage IN the
drug business In Iowa.

now to commence work Is a location

charge of the matter, and the depot

The Washington critic., 1886-09-27
About American scu,nture.

The first statue that became notorious In
this country for a quality not counted under
the head Of art was the equestrian Jackson,
In Washington. The sculptor who made
II claimed that its position, balancing on
the hind legs, was not assisted by bars OF
iron. But this claim being SO constantly
doubted, the sculptor made mimic copy
that he carried around with him in his
pocket, aud when the question came up he
would exhibit his jackson standing fairly
and firmly on the hind legs.
In these latter days the crownlng glory Of
the great army OF objects resembling the
human form, set up for soldiers monu-
ments, has been the large number OF tons Of
granite they contained and the cheapness OF
their cost The care with which each In
dividual cartouche which hangs on the breast
of the Pilgrim statue, lately erected in Cen
tral Park, New York, is made and the
precisive regularity and clearly seen stitches
on its big leather boots, have been admir-
ingly recommended to the obseryer.-[T. IL.
