Pacific Fundin. Til.

The Few York Journal. whose owner
is the son Ct the late Senator Hearst of
California, has this TO say Of the Pacific
railroad funding bill;
1t Is needless to measure words in dealing
with this bill. 1t Is simply u bin to lcgalize an
already completed robbery of the public to the
amount Of moro than sln0.C0O. eco, and to mako
possible and safv an additional swindle amount
ing to two'thirGs ~ much.
Two railroads., the Union Pacific and the
Central Pacific, owe the United States govern
ment STA CO. Tho greater part OF this
money was received by the corporations In the
shape Of bends Ct the United States on which
the nation IL now paying Interest. The gov
eminent for its part has received neither In
terest nor principal on its debt. This funding
bill. so precipitately reported by n committee
OF doubtful legality. and which 50 commends
itself to tho lawmakers that distinguished sen.
ators resort to petty falschood rather than an
tagonize 1t, Is intended to renew this debt for
+ 80 years at 2 per cent and then release the
debtors from all liability on payment OF barely
~ per cent per annum more. 1t Is n bill for
the spolintion Of the American people.
II these railrpnds had been honestly built
and had failed to make money. Americans
would look with resignation upon the loss to
the government. But the money that the gov
eminent loses goes into the pockets of n mere
handful Of robbers and swindlers who differ
from the Burden thieves partly in tho size of
their populations. partly in the fact that they
keep servants instead Of serving, but not Mt
all in their lack of honesty. 80 They robbed

the government should seizo 1t, they will still

government, and have deplOred the
necessity which compelled the Gem
eral Assembly to step in bstween
psople and party. While
General Assemblies controlled by Demo
Gratis are responsible for amendments to
our charter which have well-nieh de-
stroyed our municipal autonomy, such
amendments were rendered necessary by
the disgraceful conduct Of public affairs
by the Republican party. Having come
into power by force OF fraud, corruption
and intimidation It Immediately pro-
ceeded TO debsnch, for partisan
and private purposes; every de-
partment OF city government, and
public safety was endangered Even the
police department, which should, Of all
others, be kept free from this contami-
mating influence Of partisan politics, was
made 4 party to some OF the most glarlng
and damning political outrages ever
perpetrated In any community. The
Republican party. by It's perversion and
subverslon Of the political powers en-.
trusted to 1t BY the people, compelled the
General Assembly to deprive 1t Of certain
powers which It was putting to such
outrageous uses.
This Is the Justification Of the Demo-
cratic party for the anomalous condition
of governmental affairs which we now
have In our city. Apart from that there
Is no excuse for the governor OF Delaware
appointing our municipal officers who
should be appointed by the mayor, and
the General Assembly exercising those
legislative powers which properly vest in
City Council. But that excuse Is sufl-
Client.

from all psrtisans and iobbers, we have
no doubt that the next General Assembly,

Wilmington an autonomy Of which 1t
was deprived for It's own good. Should
the Republicans succeed In occurring
control, we may expect a charter so
drastic and partisan In It's provisions
that none but a Republican can live
comfortably under 1t.
