been some little improvement from time

ITS OPPORTUNITY.
FL Dorado Republican. I

The Republican party has achieved an
opportunity, IN which thousands and
thousands OF the best men of the Nation
have assisted 1t, under the hope that it
will take up some of the real evils and
dangers OF the country and enCleavor by
progressive legislation to ameliorate them.
1t has an opportunity to protect the per-
manence OF our institutions and the con-
dltlon OF the working classes by prevent
ing the overflow OF European laborers
and the rapid formation of a turbulent
population of Varying languages and
creeds and antagonistic preiudices; it has
the opportunity to make an effort to
prove whether the Government can con-
troll aggregated wealth, or whether aggre-
gated wealth will succeed in entirely con-
trolling the Government; it has. in gem
eral, the opportunity to prove whether it
is party tossilized by the existence OF
professional ottice-seekers and the con-
troll OF selfish capitalists to such an eX-
tent that 1t cannot legislaJe for the people,
or whether 1t contains within itself the
elements OF progression and the ability
to graphic with problems, the attempted
solution of which will evidently drive
cormorants out OF the party, ami provoke
the hostility Of the selfish interests. but
which must be attacked and solved if the
republican party is to retain the conf
dence Of the people.

UNCLE sAM's SOLDIERS.
Annual Report of Paymaster-General
Smith.

SI1iiii.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. - Paymaster-
General Smith, in his annual report to
the Secretary of War, calls attention to
the fact that tie soldiers deposits have
increased S79,7S2 during the year, a graft
Tying increase, in view of the fact that the
deposits had been falling off in preceding
years, and of the further fact that a soldier
with deposit account rarely leaves the
service without an honorable DISCHARGE
The expenditures on account OF paw of
the army show an increase of S275. 673
over the preceding year, due in part to
the fact that the enlisted force was more
nearly kept up to its maximum limit
he fact that the expenditures on account
OF pay OF volunteers was S493, 653 less than
last year, is taken as an indication that
these claims are being exhausted.
The Pay master-General questions the
beneficial effect OF the system of with
holding portion of the soldiers pay un-
til he is discharged. The travel allow
ance of the soldier is ample TO take him
home when discharged, and it is not
necessary to withhold pay tor that pur-
pose. Any system which makes a SOL
der dependent detracts from his man
hood and efficiency. Many men enlist.
being told that their pay was Sl3 Der
month, only to find that through reduc-
tons on account OF clothing and withheld
pay TWO or three months must elapse be-
fore he can receive any pay. He regards
this as breach of contract and deserts.
Therefore, it is recommended that the
system, which Is cum berSome. compli-
Gated and obsolete, be abolished.
1t is also recommended that there be
but one common pay chest for the army,
and that all disbursements be made
through the bonded officers of the pay
corps, instead OF being divided up be-
tween nOn-bonded disbursing officers,
who last year distributed half of the
army appropriations.

NICARAGUA CANAL.
Senator's and Congressman Who Favor
Government Aid.


Government Aid.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 1.-THE Maaatfact-
urerS' Record of this week will publish
special letters from a large number OF
United States Senators and Congressman,
giving their views on whether the Gov
eminent should give financial aid to Sc
cure the early construction of the Nicar-
aqua Canal. The letters are pretty equally
divided between Democrats and Repub-
licans.
Senator Sherman of Ohio writes that he
is thoroughly committed to the construc-
ton OF the Nicaragua Canal, and empha-
sizes the report made to the Senate in
favor OF Government aid.
Senator Walsh of Georgia says the
Nicaragua Caual is the greatest enter
prise before the business world. He be-
lieves it should be built and controlled
by the United States Government; that it
would open up new markets for our pro-
ducts OF the field, the mine and the fac
tory, and would enable US to compete
successfully with European nations for
the trade OF Spanish American countries
and the countries of the Orient.
Hon. William B. Allison of Iowa, Hon.
c. IL. Grosvenor of Ohio, Hon. George
d. Wise of Virginia, Hon. Alexander
Mcdowell of Pennsylvania and Hon.
William NJ. Curtis OF New York also
write in similar strain, each urging the
importance of the enterprise to theU nited
States.

UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD.
Plan for the Reorganization of tn,
Whole System.

Plan for the Reorganization of the
Whole system.
OMAHA, Nov. 15.-An interesting feat
dre Of the proposed reorganization of the
Union Pacific developed to-day in con-
nection with interviews with local rail-
road men had by Frederick Coudert and
John w. Doan, Government receivers of
that property. who passed through last
night en- route East after examining the
system. Mr.. Coudert expressed himself
as being favorably impressed with the
Union Pacific properties, and thought
the differences existing between the
Union Pacific ana Denver and Gulf Com
pany would be adjusted to the advantage
of both companies.
Regarding the plan of reorganization of
the Union Pacific as proposed by the
Government Directors, he stated that he
was heartily in sympathy, and looked To
Congress to do something at this session
that would start the ball rolling To a final
settlement OF the vexed problems. The
scheme of the directors, as reflected in
this report, is to substitute 3 per cent.
blanket mortgage for the present 6 per
cent mortgage soon to become due. In
other words, TO pay the Government debt
by mortgage tor $40, 900, dated July
!, 1895, subJecting the entire railroad or
railroads to single mortgage. under
which should be issued 3 per cent. 100
year bonds to an amount such that the
accruing interest will not exceed the
minimum earning power, and apply the
moneys and securities in the sinking
fund TO the part payment or extension of
the bonds which have priority of lien
over the lien of the Government and so
on until the stock of the company is all
provided for under the new conditions.
''Of course" said Mr.. Coudert, the
Government directors are we'll aware
that no plan of reorganization can be
carried out without the approval and CO.
operation of large majority of the hold
ers of all classes OF securities. There may
be some difficulty experienced in substi-
tuting the sinking fund SIS tor 3-per-
cent. bond at 100, as provided in the pro-
posed application OF securities, ana in
changing the collateral trust Us to 3's at
$50. but with these exceptions l cannot
see why the plan submitted is not good
one. 1t is the judgment of the directors
that no plan of reorganization can be car
ried into effect without complete fore
closures of the property of the company
TO be reorganiZed, including in such fore
closures all of its property held in col
lateral trusts"
MIR. Coudert felt hopeful that such
scheme, as proposed by the directors,
might be favorably acted upon in Con-
press. by recognizing that the Govern
lnent had better be satisfied with half
loan than getting nothing in the event of
the first mortgage bondholders beginning
foreclosures upon default OF the pay
ment of interest.

VIEWS OF SENATOR RRICE.

cratic Nominee for President.
NEW YORK, Nov. Ex-senator Brice.
who is in the city, has been interviewed
regarding the political situation. lie
said:
The Democratic party was not de-
1eated because OF the hard times. The
question was not so much a tariff issue
as great many people are led to think
The people all over the country expected
that the party in power would bring bet
ter times, and when this did not mater al
lie they turned their ballots against Them
The same caused defeat for Harrison two
years ago. W hen prosperity languishes
they blame the party IN power as the
cause OF 1t. But l think that things will
brighten up so that we will have a de-
cidediy spirited Presidential contest"
w ho do you think will be the next
PRESIDENTIAL candidate on the Democratic
TICKET, ana viii Cleveland run for third
term?"
The next Democratic candidate to run
for the Presidency will be Adlai Steven
son, and he will have the united support
OF all the factions of his party. He is the
logical candidate and he comes from a
State that can be carried by the Demo-
Gratis. He is the best man we can take. I
90 not think that the party would make a
mistake. The election of last Tuesday
settled the fate of several prospective can
dldates, and | am more than ever con-
WINGED now that Adlai Stevenson is our
man. AS for Cleveland running for
third term, all that kind of talk is
twaddie."
What do you think of the report of
the Chicago Strike Commissioners ?''
1T is hardly worth the paper it is
written on. The conclusions and recon-
mendations are for the most part theory
only, and the country is full OF theorists
The people thoroughly understand the
strike and it is a dead ISSUE [ do not
look for any practical results from the re-
port. The idea of Il National Board OF
Arbitration is a beautiful theory, but
would never work, for the parties in dis
pute would appeal to the courts anyway

DUTY ON SALT.
Important Decision Rendered by At

Important Decision Rendered by At
torney-Geueral Oluey.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l4.-Attorney-Gen-
eral Olney has rendered an important de-
cision involving an Interpretation OF the
most favored nation clause in the
treaty between the United States and
Prussia. The question propounded by
the Secretary of the Treasury was whether
''salt imported from the Empire of Ger
many is dutable under paragraph COS Of
the new Thrill Act, which provides if salt
IS imported from any country, whether
Independent or dependency, which i'm
poses duty on salt exported from the
United States, there shall be levied upon
such salt rate the duty existing prior to
the passage Of the Act"
The Altorney-General holds that salt
imported from Germany is legally duti-
able. AS far as the favored nation clause
Is concerned the same argument will APP
ply to beet sugar.

cogee, l. T., TO the Indian Office throws
considerable light upon the conditions in
the Territory, which have resulted in
troubles of considerable moment in the
Indian country, such as the reign of ter
ror caused by bands of rowing robbers
and marauders. He points out in
the first place the necessity of the
enlargement: of the Federal Courts
IN the Indian Territory, saying: "Since
the Act of March l, 1889, establishing
Federal Court in Indian Territory, there
mas been no special legislation by Con-
gress extending its jurisdiction or in
creaslng the number OF Judges"
AS one Of the evils to be eradicated,
Mr. Wisdom points out land-grabbing.
While the Indian is satisfied with small
tract of land, those who have inter-
married with Indian women have fenced
1t and appropriated to their own use
thousands OF acres. The land is held in
common. He says: 1.-The Indians are re-
luctant to break up their tribal relations
and to assume the status of United States
citizens with attending responsibilities.
IL am not mistaken, however, the con-
census of opinion among the indians is
that some change is inevitable, and that
too Ill the near future"
Mr.. Wisdom has something to say
about beverage known as "Choctaw
beer" He says: 'Good ChOctaw beer,
drink compounded Of barley, hops, to-
bacco, fish berries and a small amount of
alcohol, Is manufactured without stint in
many portions OF the agency. 1t is cer-
tain that It's sale is fruitful source Of

augury Of an onslaught upon it i'll the

its main features the law is right. 1t

If any changes are to be made they
