SALE OF THE uNI0N PACIFIC

It is with natural pride that the friends of the Administration have been pointing out that the govern ment is to receive the full amount of it's claim upon the main line of the Union Pacific railroad
 It was in 1862 that Congress passed the bill for encouraging the construction of the first transcon. tinental line to the Pacific. Besides opening new territory to settlement and facilitating trade with the ori- ent, the military features of a rail road to the Pacific were considered of great importance at the time the Union Pacific project was under taken. Congress gave liberal en- couragement to the enterprise be- cause of the value it's completion would be to the country. It was by no means certain at that time that the government would get its money back. Besides land grants, the government aided the eonstruc- ton of the road to the extent of $27, 000, GOO. It is this sum and the in- terest thereon, amounting to $31,- GOO, 900, that is represented by the governments second mortgage on the main line of the Union Pacific.
 When the date of the sale was first set the reorganization commit tee, representing the stockholders, agreed to make bid that would yield the government $45, 900, 900 in liquidation of it's claim of $58, 000,- 900 of principal and interest. Later the reorganization committee raised it's bid 5000, 900, but there was criticism of a sale at any price short of full satisfaction of the govern ment's claim. Finally, when the officials at Washington meditated a postponement in order to make bet ter arrangements, if possible, the reorganization committe raised its bid $8,O00,00O more, or to $58, 000,- : GOO, so that the governments claim will bt satisfied in full.
 The advocates of government ownership have demanded that the government bid in this road itself, atisfy the first mortgage bond holders and run the road as goy- ernment enterprise. This would have been poor policy, and doubtless would have proved unsuccessful as an experiment. in government own ership. The conditions were too unfavorable. The government would have possessed but part of 3 great railway system, and there fore it would have been compara- lively easy for private lines to make the experiment. a failure.
 Taken all in all, the arrangement by which the governments claim on the main line is satisfied in full is desirable one and is creditable to the administration. The sale of 8 part of the Kansas Pacific, which is set for Dec. 15, aEd upon which the government has . claim of sl3,- 1 000, ,000, it is feared, will not result So satisfactorily. Chicago Record

the cruiser: Bark ahoy! are you all
asleep there?'
Capt. Kettle drowsed on over the
wheel, Donna Clotilde, from the shadow
of the house, could see him nodding like
man in a deep sleep.
''Carrajo! you bark there! Put down
your helm. You'll be aboard of us in

Kettle made no reply; his hands sawed
automatically at the spokes, and the glow
from the pinnacle fell upon close-shut
eyes. 1t was a fine bit of acting.
The Chilans shouted, but they could
not prevent the collision, and when it
came there broke out a yell as though
the gates of the pit had been suddenly
unlocked. The bark's crew Of human ref

was the only shot fired. Knives did the
greater part of the work, knives and
Delaying pins, and whatever else came
to hand. Those Of the watch on deck
who did not run below were cleared into
the sea, the berth deck was stOrmed and
the waking men surrendered to the pis-
toll nose. A couple of desperate fellows
went below and cowed the fireman and
engineer on watch The mooring was
slipped, steam was given to the engines,
and whilst her former crew were being
drafted down into an empty hold the
Cancelario was standing out at 16-
knot speed toward the open sea, under
full command of the raiders. Then
from behind them came the roar Of an
explosion, and the squirt of dazzling
light, and the men shuddered to think
of what they had so narrowly missed.
And, as it was, some fragments Of the
bark lit upon the after deck as they fell
headlong from the dark night sky above.
Donna Clotilde went onto the upper
bridge and took Capt. Kettle by the
hand "My friend, said she, 81 shall
never forget this
And she looked at him with eyes that
spoke of more than admiration for his
success.
