THE UNION PACIFIC.
Editor Rosewater Advocates Its
Sale by Government.
RUSSIAN TREATY DENOUNCED.
Chicago Speakers Handle the Subject
Without 0Ioves-The Theosophists'
Convention-Booth Il Better.

New YoRK, April 23.-Edward Rosewater,
editor and proprietor of tho Omaha Bee,
and a member of the Republican national
committee. has been in the city several
days, one of the objects of his visit being
to collect figures regarding the Union Pa
cific railroad debt, with which congress
will have to deal next winter. To Herald
reporter Rosewater said:
The Pacific railroad debt will mature within
three years. Its adjustment has been discussed
in congress after congress, but no definite con.
clusion reached. Congress next winter, how
ever, will be forced to take action In the matter.
The most feasible proposition for congress ID to
let the road go to foreclosure under fret mort
gage and take chances OF recovering the money
advanced by the government Should the road
sell for more than $33,0O0.0O0 some money ad-
vanced would undoubtedly be lost in this
way, but what of it The road would be
cleared from all the complications
which has burdened it for twenty years. and it
could successfully compete with other roads.
thus greatly benefitting the people q result of
the reduced rates. Besides tho development OF
the Western country has more than paid back
TO the government the money advanced. or the
difference between that advanced and what
would be lost As q result OF the sale UEquss-
tionably private individuals and stock jobbers
have been fattened at the peoples expense,
owing to Union Pacific deals, but all possib ility
Of that would be stopped BY the foreclosure of
the property. think this view will be largely
in accord with the sentiment in the West,
though some of the Populist element may not
understand 1t 1t first At all events, the time
has arrived for the settlement of this Union Pa
cifc business, which concerns not only the
West. but large interests in the East. And il
should be 1ntelligently discussed before the
problem Ia submitted to congress next winter.

The Bureau of Associated Charities Is
daily receiving large number Of appli-
cations for work in the hop fields during
the picking season. Some time ago the
bureau wrote letters to = number Of hop
growers in the White river and Puyaliup
valleys, asking how many hop pickers
we're needed and offering to furnish them
II growers would send in their names and
the number each one would require. To
these letters not q single answer was re-
ceiyed except from Ezra Meeker. who re-
piled that he had all the pickers he needed.
The result is that the bureau does not
know where to send pickers, and is simply
making memorandum OF their names
and residences in case any are needed in
the future.
