A REORGANIZATION.

The Proposed scheme Relative to the
Chicago, st. Paul 4 Kansas City Road.
CHICAGO, May 3l.-A. 8. Stickney,
chairman of the board OF directors of the
Chicago, ST. Paul & Kansas City Railroad
Company, has returned to this city from
London, where he has been consulting
with the English stock and bondholders
concerning the reorganization Of the
company.
In speaking of the matter he said !:
"The proposition is to convert the in
come bonds and stock OF the Chicago, st.
Paul Il Kansas City Railroad Company
into the common stock of the Chicago
Great Western, the second mortgage
bonds into preferred stock, and the first
mortgage bonds into first preferred
stock.
The plan also contemplates the raising

ment VIII BE Dissolved.
LONDON, May 31.-The Standard says:
"We believe that the Government is pre-
pared to give an assurance that Parlia-
ment shall be convened after the general
elections to enable the Government to
challenge vote of confidence, II neces-
sary, this being the condition which Mr..
Gladstone attaches to his consenting to
conclude the votes of supply before the
House rises. The Radical and Irish men,
bers appear to be inclined not to oppose
the passage Of the estimates, which may,
therefore, be passed In four days. 1t is
understood that the Duke of Devonshire
fully approves the decision Of the Gov
ernment to appeal to the country at the
end of June"
The Times says: ave admit that there
are strong arguments in favor of post
poning the dissolution of Parliament un-
til the autumn, but they are scarcely
strong enough to justify the Government
in resisting the general desire to put an
end to the period of suspense. The large
majority on the Irish local government
bill and Irish education bill might en-
courage the ministers to proceed with
both bills, but few believe that those
complicated measure could be pushed
through the committee stage now.

That is to say, from the commercial
point of view. Lieutenant Peary thinks
there is no money to be made by the
conquest of the north pole, and if a
short northwest passage through to
Asia does exist it will not be of any
practical use. Nevertheless. from the
scientific standpoint, the north pole ex.
pedition is exceedingly interesting, and

matters. So he says. t5 s.

proposes a very liberal service PEN
sion to all old soldiers, and he proposes
to raise the money with which to pay
it by q tax on incomes and legacies.
OF course any measure that has the
sudaucity to propose to lift the bur-
den of taxation from industry and
place them on the leeches Of society
would be expected to meet with the
Capitals opposition.
So far as we are concerned We are
sure that the bill has merit. That a
tax Of the kind indicated should be
levied by the government we are sat-
lsfied, and we would have no obieC-
ton to the application Of the revenue
thus acquired to the payment Of PEN
sions, provided other measures are
adopted for the increase Of the cur
rency.
Senator Peffer's bill will meet the
unqualified endorsement Of Alliance
men both north and south because it
proposes to pay the pensions in a
legal tender currency issued for that
purpose. It provides for an imme-
diste increase of the currency and a
means of putting it in circulation.
On account of this feature alone it
will be received with more favor in
some quarters than the bill presented
by Mr.. Davis; but If the increase Of
the currecny is made absolutely GER
tain by other MEANS the objection
that will be urged against Mr.. Davis
bill will not be serious. Both bills
have merit, and either would be a
measure Of justice that would be &C.
ceptable to the constituents Of the
gentlemen who have introduced them
and to those in whose interests they

farmers, and proposes to extend its

opportunity to grow the material for
the manufacture Of their own twine?
This company proposes to sell twine
as chesply as il can be made. II the
trust offers to cut these prices the
people should understand why it is
done. It will be remembered that
trust twine has been held at pretty
high figures in years past. The re-

been the result Of what competition
has existed. That has been disposed
of now. All the competition that now
exists is to be found in few little es-
