1t has been repeatedly charged that
Governor Foraker prostituted the be-
nevolent institutions of the State by
making them part of a machine organ
lied for the purpose of advancing his
personal ambitions. The removal of
trustees and dismissal of efficient en-
ployers by order of the Governor has
long since proved the correctness of
these charges. OF course nothing but
decentralization and extravaganza could
follow in the wake of such a course.
That such condition of affairs prevails
in the benevolent and penal institutions
of the State is clearly shown by the
official figures taken from the report Of
the Board of State Charities. The three
years of Governor Foraker's administra-
ton show:
THREE STEPS UPWARD
In the cost of maintaining the inmates
of public institutions, and the increase
is SO large as to become alarming. No
cause but decentralization and extrava-
gance can be assigned for the increase,
because the price of provisions, coal,
labor, etc., that figure in the per capita
cost, have not increased during the past
three years, except as trusts have forced
up the prices on a few necessaries of
life. The figures below give the per
capita cost per annum in each institu-

Inc above ngures VIII give the tax
payers of the State an idea about why
only half as much of the State debt was
paid during the first two years of Gov
ernor Foraker's administration as COM
pared with the administration of Gov
ernor Hoadly. 1t may also throw some
light on the raiding of the sinking fund
for $3.50, 600 last year in order to get
some money into the general revenue
fund and thus prevent the State from
suspending payment. The $3.50. 900 was
borrowed for sixty days, placed in the
general revenue fund, and when it be-
came due paid from the sinking fund;
thus necessitating the refunding Of
$3.50. 900 of the regular funded debt which
should have been paid

The New York Financial Chronicle
has taken the trouble to analyze the
debt statements of the last two months
and compare them with the same
months of last year, and the result is
highly interesting. The revenue for
July and August of this year was aboat
the same as for the same months last
wear. In the month of July this year
the expenditures exceeded by $500, 900
those of July last year, and this increase
was not in pensions, as is generally sup
posed. but in what are known as "ordi-
nary expenses.

fEhSONAL AND
THE report of the Union Pacific Rail-
road for eleven months to December l,
1888, show an increase in earnings of
S567 600; increase in expenses, 81 308,-
600, making decrease in the surplus
of $741 900.

documents of that corporation have
borne the superscription, st Joseph &

consolidation recently predicted in the

EVERY new railway that comes into
existe nc increases the number of rail-
way EN- ployees, at the average OF prob.
ably five men to the mile. Hence the
Z 200 miles which were built in 1872 have
called about SO 900 new men into the
service. This is an encouraging fact for
railway men and those desIrous of en-
tering the railway profession 10 bear in
mind, and it is also encouraging to
those who are seeking promotion to re-
member that the number of officials of
all ranks must continue to decrease. At
present the railway officers and men of
the United States form an army not far
from 1885, 900 strong, and in half dozen
years or so the number will probably be
swelled to at least 1000, 900.
FULLY thirteen months ago the Pres
ldent recommended the passage of a
bill similar to the one now before Con-
gress for the adjuetment of the Union
Pacific Railway Company's debt to the
government. The Pacific railroads
commission, appointed expressly for
the purpose of lnquiring into the rela-
tions of the subsidized railways to the
government, recommended the enact
ment of such measure. Commissioner
Johnston added his approval to the
plan. The government directors have
endorsed this scheme of adjustment
Still the consummation has not been
reached. If there be any adequate, or
even plausible. excuse for such dllatori-
ness, it is not manifest.

Skinner and Rdybould-COmmitt3e
Dear 81. s-Your appointment by the
Salt Lake Real Estate Dealers Union
noted.
Allow me to say that Pittsburg, Pa,
parties and myself have been investi-
eating and working on the project of
rsilroad IRON Salt Lake to Los Angeles
AMI have tried in vain, we consider. to
obtain suitable encouragement from the
peorie of Salt Lake City.
We shall meet again at this place this
week or next to consider certain mat
tiers in connection with the proposed
road, an shtl Il e., pr 0bably, see what
can be done in the matter.
In the meantime l will state to you
the substance of the propositions we can
make to you, which, until our meeting
but which are certain enough that You
may feel assured of almost identical
conditions, and could act on them.
FIRST PRoPosITIoN-If the people of
Salt Lake City will subscribe 81 600 per
mile, for LIS miles, to be taken at
subscribers option in stock, or
bonds, to be placed in bank,
so that only $4,000 becomes
available to use at any one time till the
road is built the 500 900 to be used on
ten miles and then another $40 90 on
| another ten miles, etc J, then We will
undertake it, and contract to build that
| l75 miles to the Utah Nevada line by
July l, 1890, and t. begin work at once.
Road in all cases to be broad-gauge,
| light new steel rails.
SECOND PRoPosITIoN-If the people
of Salt Lake City will loan us Sc 000 per
mile (shree years at per cent? for the
first fifty miles, we will give them first
mortgage for that amount, and go on
anC build, contracting TO have the first
tiftv miles finished by January l, 1890.
Please inform me OF any movement in
the matter and | shall be pleased to
give further information.
Respectfully Yours,
| M. +. STURGEs.

TALK ABOUT THE RAILROAD
Mr.. Thomas Resolution Aiessrs. Ire
week, Terhuns, Westerfield and
simon Elected.

The sole topic of conversation among
business men Yesterday Was the Cham
Der of Commerce election. The men
who fought SO hard to get an adjourn
ment on Thursday night took advan-
rage of their opportunity and made a
thorough canvass of the town, stirring
up the absentees and getting proxies
where attendance could not be prom
ised. Type written blanks were prepared
and committee of three took these to
the members who could be called upon
to vote their way. The result was that
they had proxy for nearly every one
of their men not personally represented
at the nesting.
But all was not harmony even among
them,
TWO TICKETS
having been made up from their ranks,
circulated quietly during the day and
distributed at the converting of the
meeting. One of these read as follows
For the progress of our city and the hap
piness of our homes, vote the following

SECRETARY FoRHAN.

This matter having been disposed Of,
Mr.. Sloan moved that it be the sense of
the meeting that the present secretary,
Mr.. Forhan, be reinstated by the new
BOARD He did not want it to be un-
derstood that he was attempting to in
struct the directors upon the choice of
a secretary, but he thought that, as this
was the most important office in the
Chamber, the board would be glad to
have an expression from the body of
the house
A VOICE We have no right to instruct
the board.
SLoAN-Then you can vote it down.
Arthur Brown was opposed to the
motion, for the reason that he thought
it would lead to discussion, fruitful
with personalities, disagreeable to both
sides. He therefore moved to table the
resolution, and bis point was carried.
President Mccormick announced that
the board of directors would meet to-
day at II O'Clock for the purpose of
electing officers, and motion to ad-
| iourn was then put and carried.
To-DAY's MEETING
will decide the important question of
who shall fill the Office of president and
who shall be the secretary for the en-
suing year. 1t seems very likely, from
the composition of the board that Mr..
Mccormick viii be reelected to the
residencv, unless he should refuse to
act. Mex to Mccormick the choice lies
BETWEEN II. W. Lawrence and George
A. Lowe.
There are several candidates for the
secretary ship. While Mr.. Forhan was
not candidate for the position, it is
thought he would act again if he were
requested to by the board. 0. j. Hol-
lister has been working hard. though
quietly, for the seat He may be able
to get a majority of the votes OF the
board bat it is safe to say that his ap
pointment would not meet with gen.
eraI appreciation among the members
Another candidate is A. B. Johnson,
formerly of the Tribune reportorial
staff Just what chances Mr.. Johnson
has for the position, cannot be said.
/ To-day's meeting will settle both
questions and the members OF the
Chamber will anxiously await results.

a grand ball on Washington's Birthday.
Mr.. Whittsmore stated that That date
was slready captured By the Boat Club.
and Mr.. Sloan changed his motion, leav-
ing the date to pe decided upon by the
committee.
The proposition met with a r0using

q committee of three to nominate q
committee of thirteen TO take charge of
the affair. The committee will report
