Morgan Wants Uncle Sam to Be
a Railway Magnate.
HAS A BILL TO INTRODUCE
The Government Would Hire Its
own Help and Discharge the
Present Officials.

Washington, March Ex-senator Nor
gan introduced in the senate a long
document in the shape Of resolution
embodying his ideas of a plan for the
reorganization of the Pacific railroads.
It instructs the committee on Pacific
railroads to report the bill introduced
by Senator Morgan giving jurisdiction
to the court of appeals Of the District Of
Columbia in cases brought by the
United States involving government
liens on railroads. The resolution also
instructs the committee to report a bill,
either as an original bill or an amend
ment, containing provisions for refund
ing the outstanding government or Pa
cific railroad bonds held by bona fde
owners who are not indebted to the
United States, and also the first mort
gage bonds the refunding bonds to
run for 30 years at the option of the
government and subject after 10 years
to be called in and paid by the United
States and to bear interest at the rate
of per cent. The refunded bonds are
to be held by the United States treas
ury and be eXchangeable for old bonds.
They are to be secured as the present
bonds are. A sinking fund is pro-
vided for, to be deposited by the com
panies at the rate of per cent per an
mum to pay the interest of the bonds
if not paid by the railroad companies.
Direction is also given for taking
possession of the roads by the govern
ment under the provisions of the act of
1896. In that event the United States Is
to operate the roads as it's property,
the present board Of directors in each
road to be superseded by others con-
siSting of nine citizens to be appointed
by the president. No person now an
officer or stakeholder Of the roads or
of any railroad or transportation or
telegraph company or a member Of
congress Of any official of the govern
ment is to be appointed on these boards.
The board Of directors is TO manage
the Central Pacific and the Union Pa
cific and branch roads as one line and
have power to fix rates. No dividends
are to be paid on unregistered stock
and the stock is all to be reduced to
correspond with the value of the prop
erty. The functions Of the present Of
hcers of the road are to be suspended,
and the books, papers, contracts, deeds,
etc, are to be turned over to the new
board of directors ON penalty Of fine
and Imprisonment for refusal to turn
them over.
The document closes with a decIara-
ton that the government is possessed
IN its own right of all the property of
the Pacific railroads. that it holds II
as the means and instrumentality Of
national government and Of interstate
ana international commerce, but it is
necessary that the roads should be con-
soildated as one through line; that the
government will preserve the property
as far as is consistent with justice for
the payment of all lawful debts, and
when the roads are freed from debt
VIII permit the owners of stock to share
IN the ownership according to the value
of their property.

A GREAT SNAKE STORY.
How Louie, the Greaser, Was Bitten
and How His Life Was Saved.

From Macmillan's Magazine.
The beauty CT the best snake story in
the world is thai there was really no snake
in it, which is more than can be said even
Of tho Garden of Eden.
1t had been very hot that summer on
the ranch. Men work in the fields in Cali
fornia with the Thermometer at ITO de-
grees, while they fall down of heat apo
plexy in the streets of New York and Chi
cago at 80 degrees. That is the maxim
they preach to the stranger in the west,
and it has truth in it: hut it is a mistake
to suppose that even in California men
work in the field in comfort in such tenn
perature, and that summer the thermom-
eter had gone very near lis degrees. So
we were grateful enough to get away into
the hills for spell, with a wagon and
a tent, ard the i.cual outfit of pots ana
pans, three OF us, white men, with Louie
the Mexican, whom We called in the YER
nacular the Greaser, to mind the horses
and make himself generally useful. Our
programme was to fish the rivers, shoot
deer and possibly a grizzly bear, discover
a gold mine, and go back to the ranch
with a prospective fortune.
We had Just pitched our tent. Down on
the plain for weeks before we had been
sic sping out on our verandas, but the air
of the hills had nip in 1t by contrast. 1t
was late in the afternoon, but there was
still plenty of sunshine. l followed Louie
round a shoulder Of the hill, going to fetch
water at a little stream tumbling from
somewhere among the snowy peaks that
capped the zone Of frs on the great noun
tains above us. These mountains had.
at some time or other sent down a little
avalance of small rocks that lay heaped
on our left as we walked The scene was
the most peaceful imaginable.
In an instant succession of small in
cidents sent the peace to limbo. Louie
dropped his pannikin with tinkling clat-
ter. crying "Sancta Maria" In a voice OF
terror. At the same moment, l heard the
dread rattle of a snake, and saw its length
CLEAN under Louies feet and vanish
among the rocks.
"Sancta Maria" he exclaimed, and tot
tered back into my arms, his dark face
livid with fear.
what is It, Louie? Did the snake strike
your
I'm the foot" he said, yes"
LET us get back to camp. Quick, lean
on me-"
what's the good. boss?" he asked
I'm a dead man." Nevertheless he came
with me, leaning on my shoulder and
making lame walk Of It..
Down In the plain we had no rattle
snakes. For miles about the ranch there
were no rocks for them and though there
were plenty of ground squirrel holes, we
never saw snakes about them. The
thought Of such things did not enter our
heads. and Louie, weary Of his boots, had
kicked them of. with the long spurs, and

SMITH ON THE STUMP.
Democrats Told That They Should
Stick to the Party.

Atlanta. Ga, Sept. ia special from
Dalton, Ca, to the Constitution, says that
ex-Secretary Hoke Smith spoke there to-
day In beginning his speech Mr.. Smith
referred to an address which he delivered
there two years ago, in favor of the gold
standard. Then he argued that the demo-
cratic national convention should declare
against the free coinage of silver. To-
day he said that he had not changed his
views on the financial question, and he
regretted that he could not endorse the
financial plank of the Chicago platform.
He urged, however, that those who, like
himself did not approve of this plank,
should remain loyal to the regular nomi-
nees. He claimed that long after the
financial question was settled the demo-
cratic party would be found advocating
principles dear to the interests of the
masses of the country. He argued that
it would be unwse to quit the party be-
cause of opposition to the plank. Those
who had taken part in the fight for sound
money delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton were practically pledged, he declared,
to vote for the nominees.
