An Empire Builder.

Hartman is a great empire builder. He
has improved all the properties he controls
in remarkable manner. He has spent
two hundred and fifty million dollars on the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific without
graft scandal, and no one accuses him OF
putting any of the money in his pocket.
There are some features of the Alton
case which are not thoroughly understood
by the public. 1t will seem incredible, but.
nevertheless. the Alton scheem was worked
while Mr.. Hartman was in Alaska, and he
personally did not have anything to do with
it. Whether it was planned by him before
he left and the details carried out by his
associates and subordinates l cannot say.
And 1t is true that he stands for 1t. But
Wall street stands for it, too. 1t was not
considered a dishonorable transaction by
the financial men of New York. He bought
9s per cent of the Alton stock not, as has
been alleged. with money belonging to his
other railroads, but with funds furnished
by the bankers of this city.
THE road had spent its earnings in inn
provements rather than dividing them
among its stockholders in dividends. Har-
riman issued SG0OoO, 900 of bonds, capital
lied those expenditures, repaid the amount
According to the ethics of Wall street this
was all right, but the public look at 1t
from another point of view, and 1t Is DIN.
cult to convince them of the honesty OF
men who will carry out such scheme.
'Harrman'S refusal to answer the ques-
tions asked him by the interstate commerce
commission does not hurt MIN mere On
the contrary, it increased his prestige. he
was acting under the advice OF his counsel
because the precedent involved means a
great deal to every railroad president and
CORPORATION manager in the country. They
approve Harriman's refusal TO answer be-
cause the commission may be asking them
similar questions at any time which they
might not like to answer. The United
States Supreme Cour: in the Kilbourne
case some years ago decided that a commit
tee of Congress had no right TO inquire
into the private affairs or demand the books
of any citizen who is not connected with
the government and the lawyers here take
the position that this same rule applies TO
the interstate commerce commission. II
that is straight Mr.. Hartman was legally
justified in refusing to answer because the
Inquiries related to his private AFFAIRS and
not to his official transactions. l under
stand the government has taken the case
into court and will carry 1t up to the Su.
preme bench for a final decision as to how
far a government inquiry may be carried
into the private transactions OF corpora
ton president or manager.

A Man Without Chums.

Yes Mr.. Hartman is very rich man
and he has very strong capital behind him.
His associates are the richest and the ablest
fnanciers in New York, but he has no
friends He has no chums, nobody ever
seeks his society for entertainment or
amusement. Nobody would go out with
Hartman for a good time, although his
family who are devoted to him. His
daughter Anne, a girl of nineteen or twenty,
Is his most intimate companion. He has
taken a great interest in children, particu-
lary bows who are compelled to earn their
own living as he was. If you want to hear
anything good of Hartman leave Wall
street and go up to 10th street and Avenue
A. where he is the hacker of boys club
which has nine or ten thousand members
He takes much interest in that club as
he does in his railroads, and sort of lets
himself out there TO relieve the strain of
the street. People down here admire his
ability, recognize his influence, respect his
power, fear his vengeance. but they don't
love him, but those East Side boys do and
he can do no wrong in their eyes:
Hartman IS undoubtedly the ablest man
ager and financier we have had i'm this coun-
try from the beginning of time. Neither Jay
Gould. nor William II. Vanderbilt, nor Pier
pont Morgan nor John Rockefeller can ap-
proach him for executive ability, and he is
the most autocratic man have ever had
on the street. He doesn't care for anybody
All persons look alike to him, and when he
wants anything done he picks his man and
tells him to do it without ceremony. 1t may
be a clerk in his office. or it may be the
president of a bank. He treats them all
alike. He knows no caste. He is so con-
structed that he finds his greatest pleasure
in debating the work of other strong men.
His manners are atrocious, and the men he
deals with don't like them and would not
tolerate them in any other living being, but
they put up with them in Harriman's case
because they know it is only his peculiar
a winner
He is of just as much Importance to them
as they are to him, and they submit to
his dictation and call it his idiosyncrasies.
He is the greatest constructive power, the
greatest manipulation and the boldest oper-
ator the financial world has ever seen, and,
small stature. Like many world build
ers, he Is the son of poor clergyman.
Son of a Clergyman.
Hartman was born on Long Island in
1S4S and was one of six children, four boys
and two girls. His father was the Rev
Orlando Hartman, an Episcopal clergyman
who preached all his life in and around
New York, on Long Island, Staten Is
land, at Hoboken, Jersey City and other
obscure parishes on starvation salaries
Hartman went to the district school until
he got job as messenger boy in broker S
office From that moment until now he has
been more or less of stock operator. He

GIVE THE TOWN A CHARCE.

The commissioners will meet Monday
to transact the usual monthly business.
In addition to this the tirst steps viii be
taken toward granting the Western
Pacific the right OF way through Silver
street. This is the most important
business to the people OF Elko that has
come before the bosrd for many years..
The large majority OF the property
holders Of the town are in favor OF
granting the use OF the street to the
erty owners along the street are
opposing it. While there is nothing
strange i'll this opposition, it shows an
exceedingly narrow aud selfish spirit.
The benefit their fellow citizens, and in
some instances their relatives, would
reap by the railroad going through the
town, Instead Of to one side OF it, does
not count with them. They see nothing
but their own selfish interests.
II that spirit is permitted to control,
Elko will receive a set-back from which
it never eau recover. That the Western
Pacific will lind u way to go around
The town il they are denied the right TO
go through it, Is evident 20 anyone poss-
essing the smallest degree OF common
sense. And what would be the result
OF such q course? Another town would
spring up around its depot, dividing the
population and dec easing the value Of
~ rn,,AriE NriFlI,, Iha ,,r.-aNt limits Of fln
town. IL this were to happen, those
who are now opposing The franchise
would sutfer with the large majority
who favor it. In fact, tile damage they
will sustain by the railroad passing
through the st rect will be slight COM
pared to the decrease III the value Of
their property il the railroad IL forced
to 20 around the town.
IL the people OF E!ko force the rail-
road company TO give up the liue on
! Silver street, a spirit Of ~Gntagonism may
be aroused that Will result in no good
to the town. On the other hand il the
right OF way is granted without serious
opposition, the friendship Of the com-
pany would be won and great good
would result to all.
The commissioners should take all
these things INTO consideration end
govern their official action accordingly.
The greatest good to the greatest
number Is IA Fundamental maxim OF free
government and it should be made
effective in ths case. No dog in the
manager policy should be permitted to
control as against the wishes of a large
majority OF the people Of Elko.

1t shows he has seen IA great light. But
how about the other railtoads? Will
they follow the good example? Will
the Per nsylvania railroad, which has
always been dominant at Washington,
and the Southern railroad, winch has
cooperated and alec maintained its
lobbyists at all the capitals OF southern
states through which it passes, also
abolish the same nefGrious practice?
Will Hartman reform his tactics and
cease to bibe and influence the legis-
latures OF the Pacific coast states, and
those rs far eakt as Omaha, and even TO
New York? Will be cease to finance
the republican machine in California
and buy tie election OF United States
senator's and congressman? 1t will be
publican machine Pud the republican
bosses il one OF their chief sources for
campaign funds is dried up. There
would undoubtedly be a democratic
majority in the house OF representatives
il the magnates Of the corporations aud
tile tariff projected trusts had kept
their hands out OF the treasures OF
those institutions, and the United States
would be friendly TO the people instead
OF being controlled by the corporations,
without the money and the aid Of the
lobbyists OF corporations.
Even President Roosevelt's title to
the presidency is clonded by the life
insurance aud unrriman's contributions
20 his campaign fund, and there is good
reason to believe that at least one of the
principal Candidates OF the republican
party for the presidential nomination Is
receiving aid from similar sources.
