The workings OF the new tariff law
are proving extremity satisfactory.
II is already earning much more than
lid the Wilson law in the CORES
ponding period of its cxistaHce, and
there is good reason to believe that
the revenues under it will be ample,
and that the reciprocity features of
the bill are likely to result very ad-
vantageous!y to american citizens.
In fact, there is not thus far devci-
oped an unsatisfactory feature iu the
new law except to those whe w&ut
10 ind fault.

around to The effect that the Kansas
Pacific was to become a part of the Gulf
system. Now Gen. Dodge has always
been closely identified with the Union
Pacific management. He is also large
ly interested in the Gulf and is the
chairman of it's reorganization commit
tee. If it be true, therefore, that Gen.
Dodge is to buy the Kansas Pacific the
question becomes a pertinent one, For
whom is he buying it? Is it for the
Union Pacific or for the Gulf?
The old Kansas Pacific was consoli-
dated with the Union Pacific under the
Gould regime, and has ever since been
part of that system 1t is being sold
under the old bond issues, the govern
ment having a claim on the road as
far west as the Tooth meridian, at
which point the bond subsidy ceased.
AS the road was built in sections, it's
different portions are covered each by a
different mortgage and a different issue
of bonds. This accounts for it's sale
by divisions. Interest in the sale of
the Union Pacific main line has been
so uppermost in the public mind that
the Kansas Pacific has almost been lost
sight of.
Our Denver contemporary disclaims
any knowledge of the plans of the
Dodge syndicate, but points out that if
the purchase is not for the Union
Pacific there is manifestly a scheme on
foot relating to the Kansas Pacific and
the Gulf, whose perfection and an
nouncement will some day astonish the
people of the west.
