CANNOT MEET ITS OBLIGATIONS.

A recent dispatch from Omaha says
that it is believed by many men Of in
fiuence and railway acquaintance in that
city that the directors and officers of the
Union Pacific railway are about ready TO
throw the road into the hands OF the
Government, and in order TO get as much
revenue as possible out of it before the
time comes have cut down expenses by
reducing the numbers and hours OF labor
of employees and cut in passenger rates
This conclusion il arrived at from the
following facts When the Union Paci.
&c railway was built United States bonds
to the amount Of $50, 600, 900 were issued
during the period of its construction,
from 1864 to 1869. These bonds were
intended to aid the road to obtain capital
enough to undertake what seemed to be
u great burden. They we're to run thirty
years at six per cent rate. In July,
1894, the firs. Of them will fall due. The
company is utterly unable to meet its
obligations in this matter, and has time
and again asked Congress to extend the
time of these bonds. The recently issued
report Of the Government Commissioner.
Horace A. Taylor, recommending an ex-
tension to 100 years and the reduction Of
the rate of interest to two per cent, the
death Of Gould and the generally inter
preted verdict against corporations as
given in thsa November elections, have
led the directors to make ready for the
inevitable by securing as much profit as
possible from the remaining months of
the contract
1t is further stated that the feeling
against the Union Pacific in Nebraska is
most bitter, and the same may be said Of
the other Western States. II is claimed
that something about the great road
must be wrong when it has cleared about
500, 000,0 900 per year for the last decade
and has not paid of penny of the great
Government debt. The representatives
OF these people will not dare vote for any
such extension in Congress az is asked
for, and it is their evident purpose to
force the railway into the hands of q
receiver and close up its affairs az pri.
vste corporation, or oven dissolve all
Government connection with it and treat
it as any other creditor OF the Govern.
ment.
General Manager s. H. H. Clark has
retired from the management Of the road
and been succeeded by Ed. Dickinson.
Mr.. Clark will retain the presidency Of
the road

GENERALS OF THE ARMY.

From ITS to 1888 the army was under

Jacob Brown followed Dearborn, and
commanded until 1928, to be then sue
ceedsd by Alexander Macomb Winfield
Scott followed Macomb in lS4l, and re.
NAMED until 1861, to DO followed by
George B. Mcclellan. In 1861 Henry
w. Hallsck succeeded Mcclellan, re-.
naming until 1864, then succeeded by
U. 8. Grant, who remained in control
until 1869. The army was commanded
by William T. Sherman from 1869 to
1887, when he was followed by Philip H.
Sheridan, who in turn was succeeded by
the present incumbent, John NJ Scho-

THE condition Of things in Great Brit
ain are rather gloomy. A synopsis Of
the reports concerning the condition Of
skilled labor last year indicate that with
the close Of the year the period Of trade
depression reached low-water mark. In.
dustrial affairs are looking badly and the
prospects are exceedingly gloomy. Tho
per csntage Of the unemployed At the
present time is double that Of January
last year. 1t ia bad enough with skilled
labor, but it 10 far worse with unskilled.
Many thousands are unemployed. with
starvation as an outlook The agrioul'
turists are also in deplorable condition.
At Liverpool l56 steamers. representing
about l00,0 tons. are lying idle. and
over $50 vessels are laid up on the Tyne.
In addition there are 100 British steam.
srs lying idle at Continental ports.
Altogether the condition Of the masses
Of the people is far from encouraging.

WHEN the question of Constitutional
amendments was before the Legislature
last week, Senator Patchen opposed all
tinker;ng and favored the calling Of a
Constitutional convention. The Senator
held that all such work as amendments
to the present constitution was time and
money thrown away, and that not one in
fifty Of the voters would know anything
Of the amendments now, nor would they
ever know. The quickest and least ex.
psnsivs way was to call Constitutional
convention.
