THE UNION PACIFIC SALE.

The presidents cabinet has had the
question of the sale of the Union Pa
cif1c under ADJUSTMENT but came to no
definite conclusion on the matter. 1t is
also stated that Attorney General Nc
Kenna will announce in a, few days
the course that the government will
pursue in reference to the decree of
foreclosure. while at the same time it
is also said that the chances are
strongly against the government ap-
pealing from the decree.
The question CT the sale of the Union
Pacific and the best way to secure the
governments interests in the same
should be treated as a purely business
transaction. The road is heavily in
debted to the government (some where
in the neighborhood of s70.000,00O minus
the sinking fund.-, but the debt to the
government is subordinate to the Hen
of the first mortgage holders. The re-
organization committee offers the gov
eminent $25, 0aO, coo for its claim against
the road Shall the government &C
cept this? The claims of those who
hold prior lien must be paid before all
others. Is it better for the government
to take for its claim the lump sum Of
fered or to assume the debt due to the
first mortgage holders and take the
road and make what it can out of it?
1t is not a one-sided question even as
business proposition. The road and
its rolling stock are not all the assets
of the company by any means. There
are its lands and other holdings, and
the lands especially appreciate each
year,
That the government in times past
has been robbed and swindled by the
road is no doubt true, and while those
guilty of this should have been pun
ishel their actions and misdeeds should
not be permitted to cloud the real
question now; and that question is:
How shall the interests of the govern
ment in the Union Pacific railroad be
best served? The president and his
cabinet being charged with the duty
Of looking after the interests of the
government it must be presumed that
they will do so, and they certainly
know more about them than the gen
eral public can They may be over
reached and every precaution should
be taken to prevent this, but when
they have exercised their best judg-
ment, and in an honest and sincere
way, they have done their whole duty
in the premises.

FAILURE OF NoN-PARTIsAN
GOVERNMENT

Had not the experiment of nom par
tisan government been made in this
city the present movement in favor of
it might not meet with so much op-
position as it does, but it has been
tried and it was far from being the
success that its promoters sanguinely
expected from it. Why did it fail is a
question the people should ask them
selves. Those who are urging and
working for the present movement ex-
pect it to succeed because it is their in
tention to place upon their ticket bust
ness men, men whose standing in the
community is unquestioned and in
whom the people have faith as men.
Their nominee for mayor is certainly
such a man and they will probably
seek to complete their ticket with the
same kind of men; their aim will be.
they say, to choose the best men re-
gardless of their politics.
Was not that precisely the aim of
those who were engaged in the last
nom partisan movement? And we be-
lieve there is no citizen, partisan or
nom partisan, but will say that the gen
tlemen composing that non-partisan
city government were among the most
prominent citizens we have, that they
had the respect and confidence of the
whole community, and that they have
it today. They were representative
men in the best sense of the word And
without any intention to draw COM
parsons it is safe to say that the per-
sonnet of the non-partisan ticket now
being gotten up viii not be superior to
that of the former bipartisan ticket.
Then why was it not the success an
ticipated? Many small causes might
be given, perhaps, but the cause Of
these causes. was that partisan feeling
made its way into the city government.
And when partisanship breaks out
among those who have been trying to
keep it down it becomes much more
rank than when it has had free play.
The cause above assigned for the
failure of the former non-partisan city
government may not be the one that
all would be assign, but there can
scarcely be any difference of opinion
as to the fact that the non-partisan
city government was failure and that
it was composed of high-ninded, hon
est and honorable citizens. That gov
eminent, composed as it was, having
failed, where is the reason for believing
that another non-partisan government
would be any more successful. If the
future can only be Judged by the past.
then there is no reason to think that a
nom partisan city administration would
be a success or that it would
accomplish those objects which the
non -partisans declare to be their sole
! aim.

The Kansas City Star is Of the opin-
ion that there can be no doubt that
there is authority under the law to
prevent such seditious speeches as those
uttered by the leaders of Mr.. Debs, So
cial Democracy in Chicago on Sunday
night, and the announcement that the
police authorities of that city will take
the necessary steps to accomplish this
result will be reassuring to the friends
Of peace and order everywhere. 1t is a
principle Of law that a man who adj
viseS or incites crime is himself in part
responsible. and when speakers, even
though within the body Of a lodge, urge
people to shoot and stab men or apply
the torch to their property, they are
melting crime and deserve the sever
est punishment. Probably among those
who approvingly. or even patiently, lis
tened to such incendiary talk as that
INDUCED in by Loafers Murphy, Quinn
and Goodwin in Chicago Sunday night
there was not one with courage enough
to follow the advice of the speakers.
But the influence of such language on
weak minded men, with a tendency TO
hornicidal insanity, cannot be measured.
and consequently the safest way is to
suppress the utterances altogether.
There are plenty of precedents for such
an exercise of police power, and the
authorities of Chicago Will be derelict
in duty if another speech of the kind
is made in that town.
