DANGER IN RAILROAD COMBINES. |
WARNS THE COUNTRY.
millionaire Russell Sage Says Consultations
Like The $3.50, 900, 900 Southern and
Union Pacific Deal Are a Menace.

Russell Sage, the great millionaire H.
nancier. declares there is great danger
to the country in the big railroad deals.
such as the recent $2so,ooo,ooo pur-
chase of the Southern Pacific by the
Union Pacific railroad, because they
vested so much power in the hands OF
a few men. Mr.. Sage says:
The Pacific deal is gigantic com
binaiion in which the ~ or - men 81
the board OF control get absolute con-
troll of more than 5000 miles OF rail
road, and practical monopoly OF all
lines leading to the Pacific.
Such combinations oi concentrated
capital are sure to arouse the people,
and the people once aroused are more
powerful than this railroad combination
or any other that might be formed re
gard II MS dangerous to have such great
combinations.
1T is right and proper that the cap
iialist who invests his money IN rail
roads or other great enterprises should
be assured OF a reasonable and fair re-
turn, II is right that railroads should
have an agreement not To cut rates be
low fair profit making figure, but this
has been done in conventions. in meet;
ings and not in the sitting of compc
tition.
You will find in the end, that this
deal will excite distrust, arouse resent
mcnt and resort to rctaliatory measures.
The people, the state legislatures and
eventually the national congress will
act. Farmers will consider themselves
injured by rates, states will inaugurate
legislation and there will be deep hos
tility to combined capital. still own
interests in the Union Pacific but | dis
approve of such vast combinations"

BIG BAIL FOR NEEtY.
Accused Cuban Postoffice Official Must De-
posit a Huge Cash Forfeit.

The military government OF Havana
will demand cash bond from c. i. w.
Nicely, the alleged deiauler. What the
amount will be has not been stated, as
Nccly's lawyer absolutely refuses to lc-
post cash, fearing that il will be scizeI.
The charges will aggregate an en-
bczzlcmcnt of over 100000. with the
possibility OF the amount being mate
rally increased. The Judge OF the court
OF first instance is inclined to hold that
Nicely is guilty of stealing surchargcd
stamps to the amount of 100000; and,
as the question of bail at present rests
with him, the cash to be deposited would
exceed that figure.
The counsel for the government are
confident of convincing Nicely, apart
from the stamp burning incident w.

star witness for the government and
who has been undergoing almost daily
