81. .O00.00 in a sink hole called a sinking
fund, now amounts to S5S, 100000. Say
ing nothing about the unforeseen causes
and competition, which have resulted
in the non-payment of interest, the
original loan and land grant are
stingy miser's dole, compared with do
nations from the Colonial and Impe-
rial Governments Of Great Britain to
the petted Canadian Pacific Railway,
aggregating more than $500, 600 600.
Yet there is not in all Canada a Kanuck
mean enough to kick at donations,
which, as the San Francisco Cali has
said: Make those originally extended
by our Government to the Central Pa
cif1c appear ungenerous" And as il
that were not enough, this same PAM
pered Canadian road, freighted with
bonded goods, is one of the predatory
competitors of CALIFORNIA; pioneer free>
booter-first come, last served.
On the merits, discarding the whang-
doodle of demagogues, what about the
corporate debtor? Back in the eventful
sixties, when G. p. Huntington in
formed his partners by pony express
that he had drawn the elephant" long
headed as he was and is, he did not
dream that he had also drawn the whole
menagerie of wild beasts that began to
howl later on. When, to a business
friend, in confidence he wrote the "Col4
ton letters" he did rot suspect that
their admitted truth would be resented
by future blackmailers as personal to
themselves. When he and his dead
partners, as contracting compeers Of
the embattled Government, undertook
to build and operate, under bonded con-
ditions of forfeiture and not of foreclos-
ure, the first long and lonesome over
land railway it was not presumed by
either party, that it's pre-empted soIi-
tude would ever be disturbed by a sub
sidized rival. 1t was not conceivable
that because Of it's foIbidding obstacles
and experimental isolation, it would be
assailed as a buccaneering monopoly
and compelled to fight for its life in
legislative halls and judicial chambers.
When the Government, as a condi-
ton of it's loan, made itself preferred
shipper and passenger on a road sub
s;dized as sole carrier for it's Pacific
empire by every intendment of law,
contract and circumstance, it entered
into a reciprocal obligation, binding and
lasting as the loan to which it relates.
But all along the line the unforeseen
has come to pass, and by diverting from
its original monopoly patronage and
revenues pledged to the liquidation of
its loan to the Golfers of subsidized ri
walls the Government has impaired it's
own security and depleted the treasury
of it's debtor. But with the wisdom
that comes after the fact" it may yet
save itself as a creditor, redress the
wrong done to its debtor, silence ire
sponsibIe agitators, promote the con-
tinued development Of its rising West
ern empire and keep the grand old pio-
neer road where it belongs, under the
resident and progressive management
of its builders by refunding its debt on
any reasonable terms.

The cases of Peter McCaffery, Will
lam Dorsey, William Cotter, Arthur
O'Brien, Edgar O'Brien, Charles Stock
man, John Mertes and Peter Mertes,
for malicious mischief, were tried in
the Police Court yesterday
DR.. G. c. Simmons testified that on
Monday night he heard the crash of
the fence in front of his residence at
Tenth and n streets. 1t had happened
six times before, and he went out and
saw the boys running away from the
spot. He ran after them and caught
McCaffery, but the others got away.
McCaffery swore that one of the
other boys gave him push and he fell
over the fence. He had no idea who it
was that pushed him. He was in front
of the crowd. They were coming home
from night school
Stockman swore that he also was
pushed over the fence by somebody, but
he did not know who did it.
The court said he was sorry to see
the boys in court, as they seemed to be
going to school and worked in the day
time. While he was in doubt as to the
malice in the affair, they had certainly
shown a disregard of the rights of
others that could not be permitted. He
did not want to find them guilty and
would dismiss them with a warning to
be more careful and never to be brought
before him again
