A GREAT RAILROAD MANAGER.
Some Glimpses of the Career of the Manager
of the Union Pacific.

Davenport Democrat Gazette.
The report that Thomas J. Potter, general
manager of the Union Pacific lines, had placed
his resignation in the hands of the directory to
take effect April 10, is denied. But the state
rnent is confirmed that Mr.. Potter is suffering
from i'll health, and that there Is danger of an
early break down If he does not take better care
of himself. During his long connection with
the BURLINGTON road Mr.. Potter was the hardest,
or one of the hardest worked employees of that
corporation. 1t was by virtue of his ability
that he rose from the lowest to the highest posi-
ton. Genius has been defined as capacity for
hard work.
This is the kind of genius Thomas j. Potter
had. 1t made difference to him whether he
was drawing $50 a month as station agent or
s25 900 year as manager in the time he devot-
ed to his corporations business. As his respon-
his anxiety quicken. When he went to the
Union Pacific he attempted to inform himself of
every detail in that company's affairs as he had
done with those of the Burlington system. he
insisted upon himself doing a great amount of
work that wiser man would leave to subordi
natss, and in this way. making long journeys
by day and working nights, he overtaxed his
great resources
what is true of Mr.. Potter is true Of many
others Railroad presidents travel about the
country in their private palace cars, and it is
commonly supposed they draw large salaries
for small service Successful lawyers command
fees which look like fortunes, and they are en-
We'd. So with doctors, authors and others who
take great care and responsibility upon them
selves But III nearly every case it will be
found there is a terrible anxiety, a tremendous
mental strain which is doing its fatal work.
The man who receives a salary high in the
thousands, rule, is the busy He not
only has the capacity for work. but uses it be-
yond the limits of safety. The men who make
money are not. in most cases, the men who
know how to use il, or if they have any knowi-
edge the subject it is not of the practical
kind. Horace Greeley waited until he died to

HAYTI'S HUMILIATION.
at the Mercy of the French and English
Governments.

at the Mercy of the French and Epgllsh
Governments.
Port au Prince. Hayti, Special
The Increase in the number of guards at this
point and the dispatch of messengers to the
northern provinces would indicate that the gov
eminent is not free from apprehension. In
der to understand the present situation glance
at the past will be necessary. About
eighteen months ago Hayti f1oated new loan
in Paris to the amount of 100000 francs
81, 400. 600 The masses of the blacks were op-
posed TO the loan. but in spite of their protests
it became an accomplished fact For its repay
ment the government of President Solomon
pledged a part of the custom house
ceipts which come from the heavy export and
import duties. The populace objected to this
because it gave France new hold on the coun-
try. Next il order. early in 1887, Mr.. Clement
H of the British Foreign Office arrived in her
Majestys ironclad, Canada. to press for the
settlement of some long standing English
claims He demanded money payment OF ST.
900. 900 or the cesson of the island of Tortuga,
on the north coast of Hayti which had once
been offered to England. After prolonged nego-
tiations an violent opposition. which the French
agent suspected of fomenting. President Sal
ONION came to settlement. The amount of the
claim was reduced 800, 900 was paid down, and
security given for the balance. Though the claim
was generally regarded just, President Salo-
mons sanction caused much complaint. From
this it appears that Hayti has assumed heavy
obligations to the governments of England and
France, and until those claims are finally set
tied she must remain practically at their mercy.
The enemies of President Solomon insinuate
that he has sold his country to foreigners. who
cordially hated by the masses. The govern
ment of President Solomon is a strong one, but
the future is clouded with grave apprehen-
sions. owing to the advanced age, eighty-two
years. of the President. To be strong his gov
eminent has had to be marked with violence and
oppression. His many enemies, both here and
in exile. want to get rid of him. According to
general report no less than FIVE candidates are
already spoken of his possible successors.
When he resigns dies it is thought not IN
likely that the partisans of the differe mt candi-
dates will make things pretty lively Mean
while, the precautions taken by the government
insure the maintenance of order The gov
ernment and reputation of the French and
British debts would give popular satisfaction.
but such a course would lead to new naval
and to new humiliations for
Hayti.
