AN EASTERN VIEW.

Tie Boston journal discusses the Union
Pacific financial situation after the follow
ing fashion,:
To exact from the road payments which
would drain Its resources and make 1t impos-
sible for tito maintain It's equipment and keep
its share of the business In the prevailing COM
petition would be short-sighted. AS the chief
creditor OF the road, the United States has
more interest than any other party In having
its pFosperiIyso secured that 1t shall be able
to 'meet the terms OF adjustment.
The journal is above the suspicion that
1t Is talking for pay. 1t proposes. how
ever. to deal with the Union Pacific as
liberal creditor would deal with. an honor
able debtor. The fact has often been
demonstrated that both the Pacific rail-
roads have appropriated to their several
owners tens of millions of dollars that an
honorable debtor would have devoted to
the payment of. his debts. The embar-
easements of the two roads arise from
this tact. 1t is proposed now to. allow the
dishonest managers to remain in control
and collect the debt they owe the Govern
ment from the people, or the portion of
the people who live along such parts OF
the road as are closed to competition.
The vice in this policy lies in the fact that
it compounds felony. 1t is true that
the owners and managers of the road
have not been brought into court on a

PRODUCERS AND CONSUMERS.

In the Senate during the currency de-
bate-on Thursday Senator Jerry Simpson
said:
Legislation should be for the benefit OF all
capitalists. miners. and consumers alike. As
The consumers are so much more numerous
than tie producers the decline In the price Of
coal is neft to the country.
This theory is only true in exceptional
cases. When combination of coaLmine
owners has maintained coal above the cost
with reasonable profit added a fall in price
may be public benefit. But 1t is not to
the benefit of the public to reduce the SELL
ing price of any article below the ordinary
cost of production: One industry hinges
npon another in such way that the low
est standard of. wages tends TO regulate
rates in other Industries. Employers are
not inclined to make the highest rate their
standard. The tendency, especially In
periods of business depression, is the other
way. Falling prices precede falling wages.
With every movement downwar the pur-
chasing power of the wage Garner is
lessened. The fall of wheat, the fall of
coal. the fall of cotton. strike at the wages
of millions OF men. Such reductions in
the ability of the masses to purchase the
proceeds OF Joint labor and capital can
only be- benefit when artificial prices
have been maintained by means of COM
binatlops or corners"

CURRENCY EXPERIMENTS.

The debate in the House shows consid-
cradle opposition to the Carlisle currency
scheme. 1t is intimated that this scheme
may be opposed by one to make a fifty
year 2-per-cent bond issue of sufficient
magnitude to absorb all the legal tenders
and treasury notes now in circulation.
The amount of such circulating notes is
now in round numbers $500, 000O 900.
Should this plan prevail the national
banks would issue all the currency In the
country, except certificates showing gold
and silver coin on deposit, and nation al
bank notes would continue as at present
under Government guarantee. This plan
would add 100000 to the yearly pay
msnts of the Government on account of
interest but it would give The country a
sound currency. Under present cond-
tons, what the country most wants is a
rest from experiments. The administra-
ton has given the country two years
agitation over a tariff experiment, and the
Carlisle currency plan must be considered
10 the nature of an experiment with a new
kind of currency. Even II the Carlisle
plan should work successfully after trial,
it would be some time before it would
command confidence. There is this to say
in favor Of what may be termed the
national bank plan: it is a continuation
of The conditions under which about half
our paper currency has been issued since
the war. The bonds will be absolutely
safe security for the circulating notes, but
their coat to the people would be, as we
have said, 100000 a year. 1t has be-
come tolersby clear that legal-tender
currency will serve as sphon to draw
gold from the treasury unless the treasury
adopts the policy of paying demands of
this kind in silver, in part or in total.
This policy would involve another expert
ment. The gold advocates would proclaim
it the first steD toward the adoption of the
slngle-silver standard. AS most of the
great Eastern dailies are strong advocates
of the gold standard, their influence on
the public MIND should be taken into con-
sideration in making experiments.

Moons Phases.
THE TRAMP NUISANCE.

o.. The action taken by citizens Of Sacra-
mento TO rid that city OF the dangerous
element, and the movements looking to a
similar action at Los Angeles. admonish
the police of San Francisco to be on the
aler'. HOBBS and tramps driven out of
Sacramento and Los Angeles will naiur-
ally drift to this place. and in all proba-
biliiy many of them will seek to live by
predatory operations. The police force. if
active and intelligeatly handled. is ade-
Quate 20 deal with any probable influx OF
dangerous characters. In times like these
strangers who are found proving round
houses in suspicious circumstances will
have only themselves to blame if they are
dealt with in summary manner.
What Sacramento and Los Angeles are
experiencing Is the aftermath of the In
dustrial Army craza of last season. Those
movements threw a large body Of men out
Of employment, and encouraged some of
them-;he Idle aud the silly-to believe
that they could live without work. 1t is
unfortunate that human beings should go
hungry, but at Sacramento, Los Angeles
and in the other cities there are institu-
tons where the really worthy destitute can
be fed and housed, and the tramp element
must be satisfied with these.
The proposed action of the Sacramento
committee in ordering dangerous charac-
tiers to leave the city. or in other words to
transfer the scene of their depredations to
other counties, raises a question. If these
characters belong in Sacramento that city
should take care of them. If they have
gathered there recently from the surround
ing country the city is justified in ordering
them away on penalty of arrest and pun
ishment for misdeeds. In case these ban
ished men should be served in ike manner
by neighboring towns and counties they
are liable to become veritabe outlaws.
The counties which may become engaged
in such a game of pitchforking tramps
from one TO another had better consider
the question whether they would not be
more wisely employed in turning the
tramp nuisance to account in constructing
country roads. There. is plenty Of need
for such work in all larts Of the STATE. Ii
there is not law enough for the measure
the Legislature will assemble on Monday
next and a bill to meet the emergency
would probable encounter no opposition.
Snch a course energeticaiy carried out
would go far to cure the tramp nuisance
By separating those who are willing to
work from the determined idlers.

A CHANGE OF TONE:

The New York Times has so far recon-
sidered its favorable opinion OF Secretary
Carlisle as to say that it might not be i'm
proper or imprudent for the President to
consider in what way :he Seer etary is OF
value to the administration. In view of
the readiness with which Mr.. Carlisle has
adopted the financial views of Wall street
this stab at him by representative OF
what Wall street considers sound finance
is unkind. As vet, however. the Presi-
dent has shown no disposition to take
seriously the suggestion of his organ. The
latest advices are that the President is
urging Congress to PASS the Carlisle bill.

THE CORRIDORS.

Herman Ziegler, who was passenger on the
late steamer from South American ports, ana
who is a guest at the Occidental. tells of the
death In Santiago, Chile. OF an aged American
last November whose history is quite interest.
ing. "His name" said Mr.. ZIegler, was John
ODonOvan, and he was said 10 have been the
first man who ever ran a locomotive in South
America. AT the time lie died locomotive
called the Copiapo was on exhibition as an OBJ
ject of curiosity 10 Santiago, and It was reput-
edy the first locomotive ever run in South
America, with 0Donovan at the throttle. He
was New Yorker by birth, believe. and went
TO South America at the time the Copiapo Rail-
road was constructed. O'Donoyan used TO tell
many singular experiences met with during the
first part of his residence there. He men

There is going TO be large influx of people
interested In mining into the new gold region
along the boundary line between Minnesota
and Ontario" said o. L. Parke, Duluth
(Minn.). merchant, at the Palace yesterday.
THE region promises to be veritable bonanza,
ii we may accept Inc reports of assays made of
samples of ore from that region. To get there
from the United States at present a sleigh ride
OF 100 miles Is necessary, and this of course
retards both men and material from getting In.
However, this stale of affairs will not last long,
as the Canadian Pacific Will soon commence the
construction of a road from Wabigoon, OH the
main line, TO the mouth of the Seine River on
the boundary, distance of seventy miles.
TWO other roads are said 10 have made prelim-
mary surveys into the district, aud as soon as
the weather will permit there will undoubtedly
be great boom Up there, We hear great stor-
les of the new district brought TO Duluth by the
men who have been there, but. Of course, many
of them are the outgrowtn Of Imagination. The
ore found is said to contain scarcely any silver,
but 10 be rich in gold"

starts on one of his periodical trips. News
papers have Interviewed him and published his
picture, and good-siZed roll OF these clippings
which he carries with him is sufficient TO gain
him an audience when he desires 1t from any
particular person. He pays no fare, he says,
and is not troubled with supertiuous baggage.
His present destination is Honolulu, he claims,
where he goes to see what manner OF being the
deposed Queen is.

is a recent and lamentable example. In
their day these two men were great Dolti-
cal leaders, each consumed by desire TO
be President, and each assuming that sue
cess was to be gained by the political over
throw of the other. The very narrow ma
jority by which Blaine was defeated in
1884 may easily be traced to the Conkling
Influence in his own State. Mr.. Hill has
not been able to prevent the domination
of Cleveland by Democratic national
conventions, and he has not carried his
antagonism so far as to defeat the party
candidate, but he has contributed some
what to the wreck of an administration
that he helped to install.
