Railroad Subsidies.

The raising OF $4,000 each for the
Union Pacific anL Port Townsend &
Soatlern Railroad Companies, and
securing the right-of-way and terminal
facilities for each, has been an object
of interest to our people the past sew
eral weeks. The amount of money
was subscribed after much hard, per-
sistent labor. The object sought,
railroad connection by the east and
west systems, has been promised, and
as work has been commenced on one,
and will be on the other Monday, is
probably as near realization as such
schemes are before the iron-horse
sounds his neigh OF triumph over &C
tual accomplishment:
The promise made to Olympia fif-
teen years ago by the Northern Pa
ciiic, ard to Port Townsend last Au-
gust by the Union Pacific, show that
acceptance of a proposition by cor
poration does not carry with it any
absolute assurance that its terms will
he complied with. When the people
of Port Townsend were rejoicing over
the U. p. contract, the STANDARD
counseled moderation. 1t saw in the
way difficulties which might result in
q change, and rs the change has trans
PRED, may justly lay some claim for
having passed true estimate on the
stability of passing events.
By the same process of reasoning
the writer forms the opinion that the
present contracts will hold: Simply
because it is to the interest of the
railroad companies that it should be
so. The magnificent endowment OF
$4,000 to each cuts a very small
figure in the transaction, and the sur
prise is that corporations backed by
hundreds Of millions of dollars should
authorize such stipulation to he
made. 1t amounts to very little to
them, but is a matter of considerable
hardship to the people.
It is no more than just that
ample grounds for terminal buildings
and right-of-way through the city be
secured for any company that pro-
poses to make its permanent home
with u.s., The advantages that will re-
suit to business will justify this; but
when it comes to the poor man put
ting his hand into his pocket for his
solitary dollar to place it with the
millions in the Golfers Of a wealthy
corporation, it is difficult to convince
him that their is any justice in it..
Those who are benefited in realty
should pay such subsidies, if they are
demanded-but why they should be
asked is the mystery that perplexes.
A proposition is now before our peo-
pie for similar subsidy to the Northern
Pacific Co. 1t is probably the best of
all, for it will give us connection with
its main line by December. Its bene-
6ts will be just ~ great as those de-
rived from the Union Pacific and Port
Townsend Southern, and in shorter
time; but our people feel poor in
purse. The drag-net has been hauled
30 often that there are few fish to be
caught, not because the Northern's
proposition is not as good as the 9th
ers, but simply from inability to meet
the heavy drain. That company is
unfortunate in being the last in the
field.

ton made by citizens for the right of

accepted the proposition Of the Ameri-
