THE POPULIST IDEA.
GOVERNMENT RAILROAD OWNER
SHIP WILL COST.
The Sum of 100000 will be
Necessary to Operate the
Pacific Lines.

WASHINGTON, Jan. pa letter
addressed to the chairman of the
House committee on Pacific rail.
roads by Ellery Anderson, repre-
senting the receivers Of the road,
organization committee and gov
eminent directors, makes it appear
that the default in the January in
terest on the Union Pacific first
mortgage bonds is due to the fact
that there was actually a lack Of
funds in the company's treasury to
meet the payment. 1t is stated
they were not acting in collision
with the receivers to force the
government to take action as
to the debt settlement, which
been intimated, but were simply
pursuing the ordinary course in
such matters. AS to what will be
the cost to the government Of ini-
tiating the experiment Of govern
ment railroad management, by
gaining possession Of a through
line of railroad from Council Bluffs
to San Francisco, Anderson makes
a detailed statement Of the number
andEamount of prior liens which
would have to be adjusted in
order to make connection COM
plete and provide the neces>
sary terminals. The experiment,
Anderson says, would involve an
expenditure, at the outset, OF over
$l00,000,O00, for which special is
sue of bonds would be necessary.
He urges the necessity for Congress
to take decided action upon the
question of settlement Of the COM
panies' debt to the government,
even if it should be deemed wise to
put $l00,000,000 into the expert
meut of railroad operation
by the government. He says it is
absolutely necessary that this
congress enact legislation to that
end, as there is no authority
vested in any officer Of the gov
ern nent, under existing laws, to
make contracts and take steps
necessary to carry the plan in to eff
feet,

make in considering the subject of do
ing without is that we begin at the
wrong end. We say This we must
have-and this-and this'-and before

gone. 1t would be more mathematical
to begin by saying, I'VE have so much
money to spend. Now, how can we
divide 1t so as to get the most good out
of it,"
Spending Is much pleasanter than
saving for most people, but character
and real grit show in no way better
than in what we are able to do with
out. AS each heart knows its own Bit
terness, so each of us knows her own
economies. Mrs. Ewing has a pretty
little story of a faithful soul who

1t is also true that a due regard for
our own comfort and self-respect In
our household arrangements will gen.
orally please our neighbors and friends
as well as a strained effort to make
these arrangements correspond with

THE SEVEN STARS GOLD MINE.
Warner Miller and Others to Bring
Suit in Arizona.

New York Tribune: A rich gold mine
was discovered in Arizona on the prop
erty of Messrs. Lawlor and Wells. A
company was organized to purchase
the mine. 1t was incorporated in New
Jersey as the Seven Stars Gold Mining
company. The price was s45o,O0O. One
half was paid and mortgage was
given for the balance.
H. H. Warner, the patent medicine
manufacturer, was president of the
company, and practically he was the
corporation, for meetings were rarely
held and he looked after the interests
Of the stockholders. When beset by his
business troubles he neglencted to pay
the interest due on the mortgage and
the mortgages promptly foreclosed
and regained possession of the mine,
Proceedings in bankruptcy were en-
tered by the stockholders in the New
Jersey Court of Chancery and John
Griffin of Jersey City was appointed
receiver. He found the mine was rich
with gold and called meeting of the
stockholders, which was held yesterday
afternoon In the chancery chambers,
Jersey City. Ex-senator Warner Mil
Ter and Clifton b. Wiser were among
the stockholders who attended.
1t was decided to levy an assess
ment for legal expenses and enter suit
in the Arizona courts to recover possess
sion of the mine. The unanimous opin-
ion was that the court would set aside
the foreclosure and reinstate the COM
pany.

roads, and consequently no need Of
pack-horses and burros, which are so

There is no snow there. The ground
never freezes to amount to anything,
and work can go right along the year
round. 1t is no wonder therefore, that
men are fiocking to that section. The
lode promises so much, too. that the
miners know that they are not taking
the risks they would If they went to

Laying for Claim-Jumners.

Complaint has reached the authorities
that for several days unknown persons
have been drawing the stakes upon
claims at Mercur upon which the as
sessment work has been done, thus de-
ranging the lines of the survey so as
to not only cause much trouble, but
to endanger titles. The owners have
decided that one or more hideous ex-
amples are necessary to abate them,
and many are now prepared with rifles
and ammunition, determined to bore a
hole through the first man who Is
found molesting stakes.
Col Heffron of the Gladstone, In re-
citing the experience of one man with
the jumper, says that job was ac-
complished so skillfully that when the
rightful owner woke up the jumper had
made application for patent and held
the Receivers receipt. 1t Is the per-
petrator of such unprincipled work for
which the rifleman is now lying In wait
and who promises blood for breakfast
at any hour
