interest obligations, the report says:
"The financial inability OF the company
TO meet these requirements is the result
OF the prohigate and wanton dis
persion of the assets. of the COM
pany in dividends, the aggregate
amount OF which exceeded S34,-
100000, and the extravagant
contracts" The profits of the contracts
were shared by the firm of Stanford,
Huntington, Hopkins & Crocker. "In
general" I" says the report of the railway
commission, cit may be said to be estab-
lished by the evidence that the con-
struction contracts and all, the import
ant contracts for materials and supplies,
were made between the Central Pacific
railroad company and companies con-
trolled by Stanford, Huntington, Hop
kins & Crocl1er. These four persons de-
termined the terms of all these con-
tracts, and the result has been that
through the payments made by the
Central Pacific railroad company they
have received, as profits, a vast amount
of stocks and bonds. Those resulting
from the construction contracts above
stated represent over one hun
drcd million dollars in stocks and over
five millions in bonds" Is there not
in this a sufficient explanation and
justification Of the general opinion, de-
precated by Senator Stanford, that the
builders of the Central Pacific had
made vast sums of money at the expense
of the government and the peoplep
But perhaps the crowning audacity Of
this master spirit of the Central Pacific
conspiracy is his talk about the
inviolability, on the part of the govern
ment, of the contract with that COM
pany. With equal propriety might the
robber who had been run down and COR
nered ask his victim to respect himself
as gentleman and allow the culprit to
go his way. The Central Pacific
managers having failed to keep
their side of the contract,
and having declined to say what
they will do to meet their obligations,
have no further claims upon the consid-
GRAFTON of the government. Its obvious
duty is to protect itself against further
loss at the hands of this unscrupulous
combine and to get back what it may of
the moneys which the millionaire man.
ayers of the Central Pacific have mis-
applied or appropriately 1t is waste of
time to discuss terms with such men as
Stanford and his associates. who have
nothing fair to propose and who have
said that they will not be able to pay
the debt that in few years will be due

editor of this paper, assumes like position

evening to resume consideration Of the re-

which the members think will have tend
ency to inspire an open board:
BY the affirmative vote of six members Of
the board of directors, any person of good
character and credit, and of legal age, may be

cation in writing, stating name, residence and

of the association are governed: Provided
That the privilege granted by this section
shall not extend beyond any one year, ex-
cept in the manner as required upon original
application; Provided, further, That moth

strued as conveying any vested or revision
airy right or interest in any property, nor

Stanford,s Audaoity.

Senator Stanford was on last Monday
again before the senate special COM
mittee having in charge the reports of
the Pacific railway commission. We
have referred to the audacity with
which on previous occasions this master
spirit in the Central Pacific scheme of
plunder had defended himself and his
associates, on the plea that what they
had done was great patriotic achieve
ment which saved California to the
union, and that this alone would be
sufficient to warrant the government in
releasing the corporation they control
from all obligations, or legislating re-
garding those obligations, SO that the
patriotic boodlers and their heirs for
several generations would not be
called upon to meet them. The
later utterances OF Stanford are in
a different vein, but no less brazen and
audacious. He told the committee that
in not a single instance had the Central
Pacific railroad company been derelict
regarding the obligations to the govern
ment and people imposed upon it by the

stuff must man be made who will utter
a statement of this kind in face Of the
fact that the corporation he represents
has not only never made any adequate
provision for the payment of its indebt-
edness to the government, but whose
officers will not say what they propose
to do toward paying the government the
money that will be due within the next
ten years.
The government loaned the Central
Pacific company over twenty-seven mil
lion dollars in bonds and has paid inter
est on these for over twenty years, so
that over sixty million dollars have been
advanced to date. The agreement OF
the company, when it received the mu-
nificent aid extended by the United
States, was to repay the loan and so
much of the interest as had not been
repaid by transportation or percentages
of net earnings at the expiration Of
thirty years. But, says tho report of
the railway commission, "the course
pursued by Stanford, Huntington, Hop
kins and Crocker was necessarily abso-
lutely destructive OF any possible secur-
ity." Further, to show why the road
could not fulfil its sinking fund and

REPORTS OF secret meetings and con-
situations of prominent democrats, al
legged to be hostile to the denomination
of Mr.. Cleveland, continne to find circu-
lation, but the nearer we get to the date
of the democratic national convention
the more certain become the outward
indications that the persons unfriendly
to the president will have no show. 1t
is not questionable that Senator Cor
man, of Maryland, Senator Brown, of
Georgia, Senator Hearst, of California,
and few others would be very glad to
have Mr.. Cleveland out OF the way, but
the misfortune of all these gentlemen is
that they cannot make it appear to dem
ocrats of the rank and file that they are
actuated by desire single to the well
fare of the party. Everybody knows
that considerations more or less per-
sonal or selfish control all of them
in their displeasure with Cleveland,
while no one OF them has such a claim
upon the party as to justify any sacrifice
in his behalf Why should any demo-
crat outside OF Maryland, for example,
trouble himself about the grievances of
Senator German, and what clam has
Mr.. Hearst upon the party that should
induce it to give any very serious atten-
tion TO his desire2 But the supreme
fact is, that the great majority of the
party feel that its cause would be en-
tirely hopeless without Cleveland, and
did they respect him much less than
they do his denomination would still be
assured because believed to be absolutely
necessary, if the party would not sur
render nearly every chance OF success.
AS the situation now appears there is
bat one man who can prevent the re-
nomination of the president, and that is
MIR. Cleveland himself. And he can be
safely depended upon not TO doit.

THE extension of the time for the

the management ot. several OF the larger
postoffices OF the country. Complaints
have been prevalent for long time at
Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and
some other citiesdregarding the way in
which the service has being performed,
but during the incumbency Of Mr.. Villas
very little attention was given TO these
complaints. One. important reason for
the defective service was undoubtedly
the fact that these offices had not suffi-
cient number Of clerks and carriers TO
do the work efficiently. That has been
the trouble in Omaha. The policy OF
economy, for which Mr.. Villas expected
to obtain great credit with the coun-
try, was responsible for this. He
is not n practical man, and hence did
not understand that of all the depart
ments OF the government the last in
which a aniggard policy can be employed
is the postoffice department. The peo-
pie do not want economy in the postal
service ut the expense Of efficiency.
But there were also unfortunate APP
pointments that have worked to the
detriment of the service. One OF the
worst was that of Postmaster Judd, OF
Chicago, and that Office is now under
going thorough investigation. Others
are promised elsewhere. il Postmaster
General Dickinson is really determined,
as he seems TO be, to place the postal
service of the country on an efficient
basis, he will find little time to devote

win far more credit from the country
