mcLURE's FOR JANUARY.

We acknowledge the receipt of the
advance sheets of McClure's for jan
uary. 1t is probably the rottenest
number ever issued. Hamlin Gar
lands maudl1n stories about Grant
are enough to make any one close
the magazine in disgust, no matter
how merltorious the other sketches
NAV be. Garland mumbles his an
cient chestnuts with wearisome i'm
becility. The balance of the articles
have, perhaps, more truth, but are
of about equal merit. Kipling, gen.
orally good, writes to fill space, and
Charles Henry Hart writes without
any reason therefor.

FoRECLoSE AND SELL.

The Oregonian advocates the re-
funding of the debts of the Union
and Central Pacific railroads, and
giving them an extension of time in
which TO settle with the government
for debts now due it. The Union
Pacific received aid through the gov
ernment to the amount of So, $780,
3l2, and the Central Pacific in the
sum of $27, ,855,68O. This amount
Was over ard above the vast area of
lands given the roads outright. The
government has paid for the Union
Pacific in interest $6O,552, ,853, and
for the Central $47,19O,821. The
total interest paid by the govern
ment is $107 ,743,675. The roads
have paid the government $40, 9,349,-
900, and still owe it 1921, AIS, 1897.
1t will be seen at glance that, ow-
ing to the accumulation of interest,
and in spite of all payments, the
roads owe twice as much now as they
did when completed in 1869.
The proposed scheme, engineered
by Mr. Coils p. Huntington, is to
have the government extend the
time of payment, at a reduced rate OF
interest, rate way below what the
government would have to pay fol
the use of the money. By this
scheme Huntington and his partners
and successors in financial crime
would have the use of the money fol
a hundred years, that being the time
wanted, practically without interest
In the meanwhile the difference be.
tween the interest the government
would get and that it would pay
would make sum running well VI
towards two billion dollars, al
amount equal to double the nationa
debt.
The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1896-12-30


1t looks as though the best thing
that can be done is to foreclose,
and if the government does not
want to operate the roads, give them
away. There is nothing to be gained
by extension, nothing bat debt. If
the debt doubled in twenty five
years it is safe to say it will not only
double, but now that its interest
earning capacity has been doubled,
it will continue to grow, increasing
in arithmetical progression, until at
the end of a hundred years it would
amount to many billions of dollars.
If some means could be provided for
protecting the goIernn- ent, for Great
ing sinking fund that would sink
the debt instead of the government,
extension of time would do, but this
cannot be done. At least in the
twenty-five years since the roads
were completed it has not been done,
and the sinking fund provided by the
Thurman act does not do nything
towards reducing the debt.
AS the roads are at present man
aged, Huntington controls the Cen
trail, and thus prevents opposition to
the Southern Pacific Foreclosure
would at least take this game out OF
his hands and bring relief to the peo-
pie tributary to those roads. II
would give Huntington opposition
and that is something. Extension
of time simply means presenting
$60,000,000 10 the gentleman with
the sway-backed head, who presides
over the destinies of the Southern
and Central Pacific roads. and con
sequently over those of the people OF
California
Foreclosure anl sale Is, the only
sensible remedy, for if the govern
ment gets nothing, 1t will at least be
able to pay up, protect its loss, and
make the most it can of very bad
bargain.

of the pol!o at the appointed hour and
voters were in line ready to denasi.. their
battots on call Of time lThe county co Al

UNTIL 1T Is SETTLED RIGHT.

(BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX
However the battle is ended,
Though proudly the victor comes
With fiuttering flags and prancing
nags
And echoing roll of drums,
Still truth proclaims this motto
In letters of living light
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.
Though the heel of the strong oppres-
May grind the " eak in the dust,
And the voices of fame with one ac-
claim,
May call him great and just,
Let those who applaud take warning,
And keep this motto in sight
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.
Let those who have failed take cour-
Though the enemy seems to have
won,
Tho his ranks are strong, if be be in
the wrong,
The battle is not yet done.
For, sure as the morning follows
The darkest hour of the night,
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.
J O man bowed down with labor!
| o woman young, yet old;
o heart oppressed in the toiler's breast
And crushed by the power OF gold
Keep on with your weary battle
Against triumphant might;
No question is ever settled
| Until it is settled right.
