The MORGAN Rid.

Is Grover Cleveland about to sig
nalize his depa rture from the white
house by another gift of millions to
the Morgan syndicate? This is per-
tinent question in view of the infor-
nation that comes from Washington
to the effect that deal is being ar
ranged whereby the Pacific roads
will pass into the hands of j. Pier
pont Morgan.
That the government has now an
absolute right to the possession of
che roads does not seem to be denied.
Having defaulted in the payment of
both principal and interest of their
debt, the title has vested in the Unit
en- States, subject of course, to the
first mortgage bonds, all the stock
and collateral Indebtedness being
wiped out. This does not at all i'm
ply power to sell these roads. AS
the title passes to the United States
by operation of law, it will require a
law to divest the United States of
that title, the president nowhere be-
ing given authority to part with the
same.
This being the tase, it follows that
the only thing the Morgan syndicate
can do is to pay up the entire debt OF
these roads to the government. This
the treasury can receive and that
would end the connection of the gov
eminent with the Pacific roads. But
neither the president nor the secreta.
sy of the treasury has the shadow Of
a right to compromise this debt fol
SO cents or rs cents, or any Other
amount on the dollar. They can re
ceive the whole amount due, they
can allow the courts in a regula,
foreclosure proceeding to sell then
at public sale, but to seize the roads
and effect a private compromise o
the Indebtedness, and a sale, would
be entirely outside of the law.
Evidently the Pacific railroad com
bine is scheming to settle the govern
ment claim as cheaply as possible
| The trend of events since the defea
of the funding bill leads to the con
clusion that rather than permit tn
government to gain possession o
these roads the syndicate will pay Vi
dollar for dollar, thus putting $112
900, 900 or whereabouts in the treasury
When this is done the Pacific railroa
question will no longer be a burnin
issue in congress. Rocky Mountai

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

with local applications as they can
not reach the seat of the disease. Ca
tarrh is blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mu-
cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure
is not quack medicine. 1t was pre-
scribed by one of the best physicians
this country for years: and is a
regular prescription. 1t is composed
of the best tonics known. combined
with the best blood purifiers acting
directly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two
ingredients is what produces such
wonderful results in curing catarrh.

Bradstreets s. Dun in their report

Bradstreets & Dun in their reports
of the financial conditions and the
outlook for better times, remind one
of the false lights displayed upon a
rocky coast to lead the unlucky mari.
ner to shipwreck, that the wreckers
upon the coast may gather the plum
der as it is washed ashore. Their re-
ports are like Cleveland's prophesies,
entirely unreliable SO far as they
promise better times under present
conditions. Their reports of ever re.
curing BUSINESS failures give tue
emphatic contradiction to Their
promise of better times unless 1t be
for the wreckers who have placed
false beaconlights and the gold stand
ard before the country.
