SELLING ANOTHER RAILROAD.

The postponment, until February Is,
of the sale of the Kansas Pacific Rail-
road, which was to take place to-day,
was a wise step and was taken in order
to allow Congress to pass a measure
making it compulsory on the President
to have the property bid in by the gov
eminent if the syndicate declined
to pay the full government claim. The
amount that the government has paid
in bonds and cash interest on account
of the road is about S12 100000. I'm
til recently it had been expected that
the government would not realize much
more than one-half of the sum at the
sale, or perhaps less.
But it is claimed that the prospect
is now improved. 1t has been discov-
cred that, while the government fur
nished aid in the construction of only
about 400 miles of track, it has a lien on
the entire line to Denver and west of
Cheyenne. If this should prove to be
the fact it is quite likely that the gov
eminent will get the most of its claim,
which will be an agreeable surprise.
In this, as in other cases, Congress
surrendered the first lien of the gov
eminent On the railroad which was built
by it's bonds. After getting the gov
eminent bonds the railroad company
was permitted to issue first mortgage
bonds Of it's own constituting a lien
ahead of that held by the United States.
The holders of these first mortgage
bonds are now foreclosing on the prop
erty and the government must bid it
i---te protect itself unless there are
other bids amounting to enough to
cover the first mortgage and it's $12,-
100000 claim.
1t was through the indescribabe i'm
providence, and probably worse, of the
Republican Credit Mobilier Congress
that the government was caught in this
trap. The Mckinley administration
will do something to redeem the infamy
of the Credit Mobi1ier legislation if it
shall get back the money that was risk
ed. Besides, it will have more cash
to offset the deficit caused by the Ding
ley tariff.

and the infamy of the imposition of the
crushing burden placed upon the produc-
tive energy of the country by the tools
of the money power, who have as Con-

built more miles of railroad last year than
, this country did; made greater relative
progress in the development of her indus
tries. and greater relative progress in all
directions even in the advance of wages
of labor, than this country did. And as
these are the evidences of prosperity,
cheap money may be an object of rid
icule to the money kings and their serfs,
but it has ever been the precursor OF en-
ergetic growth in the development of ma
tons. while dear money has been in all
/ ages the curse of the people, the bane OF
progress, the enemy of civilization itself.
and the precursor of national weakness
and ultimate overthrow.

1t was probably in remittances from
business houses in the Alaskan trade
All the truth in the reports from the
Klondike region appears to show that
estimates Of the gold product of the
region are exaggerated not in small
ratio, but in ratio beyond computa-
ton. The supply of Klondike gold is
small. 1t is procured with the greatest
difficulty.
