THE BOND ISSUE.

The Washington correspondent of the
st. Louis Republic is responsible for the
following:
1t is understood that Secretary Carlisle is
anxious to place as many OF the bonds as posi-
bic broad. His plan, as discussed here TO-
day, is 20 place the gold paid for the bonds by
foreign investors on deposit 10 London, subject
TO draft from Washington. in the belief that
this would result In keeping down the rate of
foreign exchange and thereby prevent gold
shipments from New York at a time when ex-
ports of the yellow metal are liable TO cause un-
easiness. The scheme is Endorsed by bankers
friendly TO the administration, but Others, with
an eye % the main chance, oppose the placing
Of the loan abroad. However, it Is quite sure
that foreigners will secure large part of the
S5O,0o0,000.
The object of foreign loan is doubtless
TO prevent the American investors from
drawing the gold from the treasury by
presenting currency for redemption. Il is
said that even Mr.. Cleveland has become
impatient at the open way in which the
Wall-Street siphon operates. But the
means Of escape is not likely to prove
popular in this country. We are old
enough and rich enough to manage our
own finances. 1t is not certain, either.
that the Carlisle plan will work. The
WaIl-street siphon may drain the gold in
the treasury to a point that will render the
red emptlon of currency In gold insecure.
If $50, 000, 900 of this loan is stored In Lon
don there will be so much the less to meet
home demands with. At the best, bond
issue is but temporary makeshift.

THE NEXT HOUSE.

A revised list of the Republican Con-
gressiOnal Committee shows the election
of 246 Republicans TO the next House, lO4
Democrats aud 6 Populsts. This gives
TIE Republicans plurality Of 142 over the
Democrats ana clear maj 1riiy of 1876 over
all Not only is this the largest majority
by which the Republicans have ever held
the House but larger membership than
Democrats have ever had. In 1890 the
Democrats elected go. the Republicans 8S,
and the Farmers Alliance 9. and there
were two vacancies. In the present House
there are 2l8 Democrats, 127 Republicans
and II PoDulists.
The Democrats have a larger membe
ship in the next Congress than the Re-
publicans had iD 1890, but the fact is only
partially consoling. Almost 100 of the
Democratic members elect come from
Southern States in which the Republican
vote is TO an extent suppressed. What
would have been the result if every South
ern Republican had been allowed to vote
may be estimated but cannot be absolutely
known. Southern Democrats of course
contend that Republicans VINO do not vote
are Indifferent to the exercise of the fran
chise. But in many cases there is known
cause for that Indifference.

THE MULES ON TIME.

The Fresno mule team arrived in Gilroy
on Wednesday morning. Its arrival ex-
cited considerable curiosity, and 1t is said
that the sympathy Of the people along the
route is with the mules. The problem the
mnle team is expected TO solve is if the
method Of transportation in use before
the properties of steam were known can
com pete with the method of the present
day in the matter Of expense. II a mule
team can haul dried fruit from Fresno to
San Francisco at less cost than the
ordinary charge of the Southern Pacific
the question will be raised if we have not
been making progress backward OF
course there IS DO contention that fret ght
may not be transported over this route by
rail at less cost than by mule power.
But a company has a MONOPOLY of the
method Of transportation which can do
the work at the least cost. and its policy
is to make charges for service to cover the
difference betweea the cost of the two
methods OF transportation. In other
words, the company proposes 10 take for
itself all the benefits of the improvements
in method OF transportation which have
been made in the last half-century. For
tunately the Southern Pa-ifc Company
does not own an exclusive right Of wy
along the San Joaquin Valley. Within
year the chances are that a mule team
from Fresno will meet at some halt
way point the cars Of the San Francisco
and Bakersfield Railroad Company.

elf cted at the time the constitution was 10
he voted on, but, on the other hand, 1t is
contended that the convention did not
declare that The new law should not be 50
applied. If the new constitution had not
been adopted, of course the old law con-
corning the Legislature would have re-
manned in force. But, as the new con-
siitution was ratified, the courts may be
asked to decide hen it begins to operate.
The fact that the convention did not pro-
vide for definition of the new boundaries
of Assembly districts until the date Of the
election in 1895 seems conclusive that it
had no thought of disturbing the legality
of the LEGISLATURE elected in 1894.

THE ENGLISH STOCKHOLDERS

Sir Charles Rivers Wilson, who sailed
from England yesterday to look into the
prospects of the English stockholders in
the Central Pacific, has explained his mis-
sion 10 an English reporter. He says that
he represents go per cent of the SOS, 000 900
of stock issued by the company" which
his clients thought at $75 share and up
ward" II has not been generally known
10 this country that the share issues of
the Central Pacific were so heavy the fig
ure has been supposed TO be ABOUT $50, 000,-
600. But Sir Charles doubtless speaks by
the book. He would not set out on such
a mission without complete and accurate
sumed that English stockholders own
Sal, 900. 900 Of Central Pacific stock.
They bought this property from 1873 to
1883, and during this decade the directory
declared and paid regular dividends OF
from to 8 per cent, though at the time il
was not paying interest on the subsidy
bonds, declaring it was impossible to DO
so. 1t was the regular payment Of these
dividends which induced EDglshmen 10
buy Central Pacific stock as an invest
ment; the original holders of the stock,
who had got 1t as bonus for building the
road, parted with it to the Englishmen, be-
ing reconciled to the sacrifice by the refec.
ton that when the subsidy bonds matured
1t would be worthless. The builders. who
are supposed to have made their money
out of the bonds, thus seem to have real
lied further sum of $41, 100000 of clean
money out of the Englisnmen by selling
them shares. 1t was as neat an operation
as modern financial history records; it re.
fleets no little credit on the smartness OF
Mr.. Huntington and his associates.

Gates. If so the EngIishmen have been
guilty Of neglect. He proposes to come
here to set the matter straight so that the
railroad shall hencefor;h be controlled by
us owners He will find that except in
teresting information he will take nothing
BY his motion. He will be remind ed-for
be seems TO have forgotten the fact-that
on March l. 1885, the Central Pacific line
was leased for ninety-nine years to the
Southern Pacific Company chartered under
the laws of Kentucky. aud that the owners
of the former have no control over their
property and no rights except that of col
lecting--if they can-$1. 100000 year by
way of rental.
Sir Charles INDUCES in sauguine visions
which seem strange in man of business
of his wide experience. He says that
Mr.. Huntington will no doubt receive me
in the most friendly manner" and that
President Cleveland. who, he is told. lis
inclined to take the place OF the company
in control of the road, may perhaps ex-
hibit friendly desire to protect the inter-
ests of SO large body OF people who are
suffering through no fault of their own"
There is no reason why Mr.. Huntington
should not smile graciously upon The rep
resentative of gentlemen out of whom be
has extracted S41, 100000 in exchange for
some worthless pieces of paper; but that
Mr.. Cleveland should exhibit a desire TO
relieve them is in the highest degrae
improbable. In the first place Mr.. Cleve-
land has no power in the matter one way
or the other; and secondly, it is n part of
his business to play the part of guardian
to foreigners who have parted with their
money without seeing that they got an
equivalent. Of the hardship of the Eng
lishmen's case, and of the morality of the
transaction which Messrs. Huntington 81
Co. brought to so triumphant close, it
is not now worth while TO dilate: 1t is
enough here to say that Sir Charles must
10 the nature of things return to his native
land a sadder and wiser man. He will
not have been long in this country before
he will discover that the foreclosure of the
subsidy bonds is a certain as the revolu-
ton OF the spheres; what Central Pacific
shares will be worth after that he may
divert his ingenuity in trying to discover.
