THE UNION PACIFIC.


The report of the directors of the
Union Pa tic Railway Company to the
stockholders, for the year 1887, has
been received. For once the company
Will not be accused of Withholding in
formation concerning its affairs, as a
more complete showing could not well
be made. The document is massive
one of IA quarto pages, and COM
pr.ses a detailed statement of the
company's transactions, transcript of
It's books, showing its earnings, ex-
penses, debt, resources, etc., and is q
thoroughly comprehensive showing of
the actual condition of the great COM
pany. A healthy and entirely salts
factory condition OF things is made ap-
parent. There is STEADY increase of
net eat nings, a redGot ton of the debt,
and general improvement of the pro-
perry. With this showing, and the
pfGm!se or assurance which it gives c.
the ability of the Union Pacific 10
eventually extricste itself from the
m re OF debt into which it was plunged
by mismanagement, extravaganza, and
perhaps dishonesty. Congress should
be ready to extend the relief which is
asked, and give the company chance
to save itself and at the same time pro-
tect the government. If a spirit of
fairness and justice shall actuate the
national lawmakers in dealing with the
Union Pacific, it is evident that the
will be able to pull through
in good shape, and save its vast pro-
perty from the decay and destruction
which some are trying to bring upon it.
