ONE VIEW OF THE RAILWAY PROBLEM.

We overheard a discussion between two men, Oh d
street car the other day. which they were dating on
the magnitude modern railway deals and the vast
amount Of money involved in single of the many
transactions of that common of late Ihe
opinions expressed were entertaining not instructive
Still, their conceptions entirely erroneous rail
way line or system sold like basket of eggs nor
bought like quarter section of land No money passes
in railway deal They are acquired transferred
idated and busted all with no money in sight Railways
exist primarily for the purpose Of taxation and IoT
portation purposes second for management ana hanp
uation The who run the railroads Jun
own them. They but hired hands lhe men
who hold the stocks of railways do not own
them only per have little anything ordhariis
to say in their managements majority of stockhoiders
have the power simply sell to transfer not the
railway but their speculative certificates OF stock rail-

or rather the evidence of security Indebtedness Jay
Gould originally bought the Missouri Pacific from Comma
dore Garrison, who owned the road outright ana VINO
sold it to Gould for lump stplated sum for "hich
Gould drew personal check which check at that time
was said to been the largest that ever had been
drawn by an individual for piece of property But
the probabilities Garrison did not own the road
outright but only possessed the majority stock However
that NAV be we recall no railway transaction, or
transfer in which an individual bought trunk line
of railway outright The men really the railway
systems in general this country the men whose
money is invested in the securities of such companies
are the men who hold the interest bearing obligations
which represent the total value of these roads,
and generally very and which value is based
On the earning power of such lines and what the
roads originally what they would sell for per mile
or in toto So when you read of railway company or
system buying up another susem there is no cash In

deals can and upon failure of receiving their interest
throw the caboode into the courts into the hands

thus constitutes a cash transaction To themselves
or to protect their interests the security holders may bid
the property down its obligations that u.s. rob
themselves of part in order part and then

Dfcese por algunos que ambos
rortid0s. ell federal y ell republica-
no no SON responsables de La division
de los puertorriqueflos Y &c las
desqracias que pesan sobre este des-
graciado pals.
Nosotros no podemos estar de
nirouna manera cOnformes con esa
af;rmaci6n V vamos a decir pOr que.
Solo estamos de acuerdo en- que la
conducta observada por un nume-
IN de puertorriqueflOs al llegar a
nnestras playas las tropas ameri-
canas. no fu6 correcta nj digna,
raribiendo a los invasores con los
hrazos abiertos y brindandoles to-
dan las facilidades para que Sc hi
cieran sin gran esfuerzo dueflos de
Ia isla. Estos paisanos nuestros
debiaron hab8r tenido en- cuenta
01,e tai conducta no habfa de agra
dar en- manera alguna q los ameri-
canos. pues estos habfan de com
nrender 10 que podfan esperar on

ia isla, que asf los recibfan, ST de
ese modo SO porta ban con la madre
Ia que debfan todo ell grado de
civilization que aquf encontraron,
4 Ia Que eran deudores, ademas
del idioma, de la religion y las cos
tnmbres, etc. Fu6 aquello un
error lamenta bic.
III puertorriqueflo aunque hu-
biese abrigado la seguridad de que
los Estados Unidos habian de con-
ceder nuestrO pals tOdOs los de-
rechos libertades de que gozan
los americanos en- el continente,
debi6 haber guardado una actitud
Dor 10 menos seria y respetuosa
con la vieja madre patria, cuando,
abatida por la desgracia, dejaba
de ejercer su soberan1a en- este pc
dazo de terra, Y guardian los vic
torres, las alegrfas y las expansiO-
nes para cuando negase La opor-
tunidaG.
En- 10 que no estamos confor-
mes nj podemos estarlo es en- que
los federales hayamos contribuido
con nuestra conducta la division
de los puertorribuefios.
Cuando ell ej6rcito americana

Existiendo pues la division
llegaron los americanos a Puerto
Rico, y a TODD el mundo consta
los esfuerzos que rea lizo ell Jefe del
partido liberal don Luis MufIoz Ri
vera, tanto aquf como en- Was
hington, para unir q los puertorri-
quefios, hasta ell extreme de pro-
poner, para conseguir tai resulta-
do, la disolucion de ambos parti-
dos. La union no pudo nunca
reaIizarse porque los partidarios
de BarbOsa Sc Oponfan siempre a
ella, posponiendo los sagrados in
tereses de La patria a sus propias
conveniencias.
El Gobierno insular, presidido
por ell senior Mufloz Rivera, presen-
to La dimisi0n al hacerse cargo de
Ia Capital de esta Isla, ell primer
gObernador militar americana; y
ell partido liberal, del cual era jefe
ell presidente de dicho GobierIo,

OCCASION.
Mas tarde, otro gobernador

sejo de Secretaries, que represen-
taba al partido liberal en- la Go

acto del gobernante un atentado a
la personalidad de Puerto-Rico, y
prosento incontinenti La dilnision
con caracter irrevocable, porque
los puertorriqueflos que forma ban

jante atentado. Y ell partido Ii
beral, representado en- aquella oca-
sion por los Secretaries dimitentes
" convene repetirlo--p procedio CO.
rrectamente: de la manera que pro-
ceden siempre los buenos patriOtas.
Hasta ahora, nadie podra no
tar en- todo 10 hasta aqu1 expuestO,
ell mas pequeflo motive de censura
al partido federal de hoy, que era
ell liberal de entonces. No solo no
dividio q los puertorriquenos, sino
que trato que la division existente,
por culpa de los otros, desapare-
ciera; Y procedio en- todos sus ac-
tos en- ell Gobierno con la altivez
dignidad que las circunstancias
exig1an.
Y mientras los Secretaries de
Gobierno cafan con honor, los di-
sidentes, ell grupito insigniicante
que NADIA valfa nj representaba, ro-
deo al gobernador americana, le
