A mooting of creditors of the company will bo hold In Boston today at which It is expected an arrangcmonl will bo made for an extension of tlu lloaling debt , amounting , according tc tint rcMorl of the government directors to * 2I-IOO,000 on December 31 , 1800. It ii announced that creditors representing $12f)0,000 have already agreed to tin proposal of the company , and it is nol doubted that the others will do so. It : that case temporary relief will bo pro vided , but whether with results to the permanent advantage of the company , only time can determine. It is nn expedient < podiont that with wi.so , prudent mnnagO' munt may enable the company to onet more got on a solvent biais : , but whicli without such management will place the company in a worse embarrassment than it h at present. Tlio report of the government dlroc1 tors of tlio Union Pacific , just filed with the secretary of the interior , is an apology for tlio present financial condi tion of the company andii plea for relief by the removal of the restrictions im posed by congress for the protection ol the interests of the government. The directors inuko a sweeping defense ol the policy of the company in acquiring control of tributary lines , qualified only by the suggestion that the "terms and conditions upon whicli some have been acquired might bo open to dis cussion , " an extremely moderate admis sion in view of well known facts of olll- cinl record. L5ut the more important part of the report of the government di rectors is tlio plea "for relief by the re moval of exactions and limitations now imposed by law. " It is nlllrmcd to bo vitally necessary that the company shall bo freed from these in order that it may maintain itself in competition with other systems ' 'not so hampered and re strained"and the directors are unable to perceive that " t he go vorn mentis any way benoiitted by tlieso limitations , or that security of its own lion would bo in the least Impaired by its removal. " After tliis deliverance it is not surorising to find further on in the report that tlio directors are iavorabo ! to an extension of the security of the government prob ably for a period of fifty years , at a re duced rate of interest , as was proposed in a bill introduced in tlio Fiftieth con gress. It can be safely assorted that popular bontimoiit in the region traversed by the Union Pacific will not endorse the views and suggestions of the govern ment directors of that road. The so- called exactions and the limitations im- peed by law upon the Union Pacific company wore most deliberately pro vided as absolutely necessary to the pro tection and security of the interests of government in that road , and they are not less so now than when the legis lation was enacted. The government cannot abandon them without endanger ing its interests. As to extending the debt of the corporation to the govern ment , the only certain olToot of that would bo to prolong tlio exactions of the company from the people wherever it can carry out its well known policy. It is highly probable tbac the cll'ort to secure legislation favorable to the Union Pacific company will bo renewed in the next congress , and the report of tlio government directors seems designed to smooth the way for it. TIIK KATIONAI , CONVKXTlOff. The time is rapidly approaching for the meeting of the republican national central committee , at which the date and location of the next re publican national convention will bo determined. There are practi cally but two candidates for the honor of entertaining the republican cohorts. These are Omaha and Chi cago. Minneapolis aroused quite a good deal of local enthusiasm in her favor a few weeks ago , but her efforts have been practically abandoned. The friends of Minneapolis under those circumstances would therefore naturally favor Omaha in order that the precedent of holding national conventions west of Chicago may bo established. Thus far our campaign lias gone on with a steady tide of sentiment making toward Omaha. TUB UKK began the agitation in time to secure the favor able expressions of Iowa and west ern newspapers in her behalf prior to the Iowa republican state convention. When the convention mot the delegates wore prepared to receive a resolution for Omaha with favor. Tlio Omaha'dologa- tion therefore found no dilliculty in securing - curing the endorsement of Iowa. It was graciously , cheerfully and almost unani mously given although no speeches wore made upon the subject and the delegation remained at Cedar Uaplds a very short time. Armed with this resolution and the almost united sentiment of the. press of the trniiHinissouri region in our favor C'olonol Scott made his descent upon the executive committee in Washing ton , lie secured a hearing and nromisos of a candid consideration xt the hands of the working members of Lho committee. Not only so but the Dmaha movement was recognized as bona ilde by the press of Washington vnd the east and this city became known uul i-.cknowledgod as a formidable rival 3f C'hicago. The Nebraska state convention on Thursday passed strong resolutions in 'avor of Omaha with a shout of uni versal approval that told plainly enough , , hat Nebraska fully sympathizes with iho ambition of her metropolis , Colo- ado has her state convention next Tuea- lay and will undoubtedly add the ap proval of u third republican state con vention to the proposition. Chicago bus her hands and her hotels mfllelontlj full already in anticipation ) f the World's fair and cannot make as iggrosslvo a light as otherwise. The > olltical conditions are also powerfully n our favor , From this time forward > ur committees must bo busy with the lotails Incident to the contest , The lastorn conservatism which regards Chicago as the extreme rim qf the west- > rn horizon must bo combated and eon- . Ineou that wo are no longer on the rentier but In the very center of the voalth and population of America. Wo uust show that wo can entertain the convention. The remaining few weeks ought to bo very busy ones for the con' vontion's committee. run tiKTunx OF uor.n. Gold Is flowing back to the United States from Europe in a swelling stream. Several million dollars lias been received during the past twc weeks and It is reported that between seven and olght million is now on the way hero. During the first six months of this year the United States lost about $70,000,000 in specie , nnd if ( he return tide continues at present proportions that largo sum will all come back to the country before - fore December 1. There is some doubt , however , as to whether Europe will be disposed to part with so large amount of gold. According to late dispatches the Rothehllds and other great bankers agree that the shipments of gold to America will bo largo and that nothing can prevent it , but in tlio same connec tion nn eminent Hngllsh financial authority is quoted as saying that before $50,000,000 in bullion is sent to this country , both the Bank of England and the Bank of Franco would ralso their rates of dis count and check the drain. In the opin ion of this authority payment for Ameri can grain will bo made chiefly with exports and securities. But this coun try will undoubtedly get back a largo share of the gold that went abroad this year , and it will bo no disadvantage if a portion of the sound American securities hold abroad shall bo returned. We should bo quite as well oil if they were all held here and the returns from thorn wore kept in the country instead of being sent to Europe. There appears to bo a feeling in Europe that a financial crisis in the United Stales is probable1 MS a consequence quence of the largo amount of paper that Is being added to tlio currency for the purchase of silver , but there is little - tlo ground for apprehending anything of this sort if the amount shall not bo allowed to exceed the present limit. There would ba reason to fear such a crisis if free and unlimited silver coinage should prevail - vail , but tlio country can absorb without danger the paper issued in purchase of the silver product of our own mines. What is more to bo feared in the imme diate future is wild and reckless specula tion , to which the conditions offer a strong temptation. There has been a good deal of this already , and though the damage done has not been widely felt the failures of speculators furnish a warning that ought not to nass un heeded. It is in the power of the great financial institutions of the country teat at least restrain speculation within rea sonable bounds , and both interest and duty should induce them to do this. MAJOR McKiNLKY was greeted at Ot- tumwa , la , , last Wednesday by a vast crowd , and his address was received with great enthusiasm. Ho discussed the tarill and silver questions with his usual clearness and force , and took occa sion to warn republicans against the danger of allowing the - democrats to got into power and gerr.vmivndor tlio state and provide for the election of presidential electors by congressional districts. The Ohio republican loader mauo a strong speech and an excellent impression , and there can bo no doubt that his visit to Iowa will materially help the republican cause. The outpouring of the people to hear him was of itself a reassuring sign. THE Union Pacific government direct ors are out with their annual apology for tlio unhappy financial condition of that railroad. It is observed that the directors do not place the responsibility for the pecuniary embarrassment upon the management which before competi tion began to bo felt , wont on pocketing dividends and wastefully expending and diverting the largo profits of conduct ing the road. The late difficulties need not have presented themselves at all had the earlier history of the Union Pa cific been more judicious , honest and businesslike. PEOIT.IK who are inclined to oppose the pension laws of America are referred to the fact that i ; > ,229 pensioners wore dropped last year by reason of death , rhoro uro U7l ( , 160 names on the pension roll , and it will take a long time for all Lo pass out of. the world , but the old soldiers and their widows are dying at a rapid rate. , _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ TlllUTKBNTll street continues to oc- ; upy an unusual amount of space in pub lic interest. 1 ho Genuine Article.

In every country of Europe the political trend is in the direction of enlarged civil lib erty , u broader , moro general recognition ol popular rights , and the curtailment of the au thority of personal government. The repub lican idea has passed the experimental point in Franco ; even the incident of the recent omtiuto in tno Place do i'Opera furnishes most gratifying proofs that behind and sun- porting the government are the will and power of the people themselves. "Paris is Franco" is a saying the truth of which was long ago conceded , and Paris was , to a most dangerous degree , dominated by the mob. That it , is so no longer , that the government no moro fears it , that the authorities dare do what is right in the foco of the .strongest prejudices of the mob , are indications of now and hotter conditions , which afford the most gratifying assurance of toe perpetuity of the French republic. * * If the Hussions thought that England bed so far lost the spirit of other years , that in the march to Constantinople.sho might safely bo loft out of account , they have found then- : i.ch'03 mistaken , and the discovery seems lo have made upon them a dcen nnd salutary impression. They have made bnsto to dis claim , not , Indeed ofllcially , but through Journals which only print what the govern ment sanctions , any special rights in the Dardanelles for Russia , and the recognized ministerial oriran in St. Petersburg mokos the extraordinarily and exceedingly sinnill- cant suggestion that England and Knssia become allies instead of enemies , the con sideration on the ono bond Using friendly neutrality in Europe , and on the other a recognition of English rights in Hindustan. It is scarcely possible that these overtures should lead to any delinlto action , but that they should bo made shows clearly enough what an effect the counter-demonstration at Mityleno has had upon the Russian minu. The Mityleno coup do main wns ttio most masterly stroke in foreign politics executed by any English statesman since Disraeli secured - cured control of the Suez canal by the pur chase of the Khedive's shares , and since England , after oil said and done , represents progressive civilization nnd liusslo quite the contrary , Americans must feel gratified at the exhibition which has been made of Eng lish spirit. * # It Is possible that the shortest road to a re duction of thu burdens of Europe from vast armaments may bo found to lie through the increase of thorn. As the nations nest able to afford the increase withdraw u larger pro portion of their young men from productive ndustry , and spend a larger share of the no- : Ional product upon the army , and as they uro imitntod by nations lass able to do this , , here must como a tima when the whole sys tem will break down under its own weight. That point has nearly boon reached in Hus- < ia , whicli , as the least civilized and least modern of European countries , is the least iblo to sustain thu burduu of war taxes , ag gravated as they are by ofllclal extravagance md corruption , According to seine observ- JM , Italy Is approaching thu same point Jirongli her anxiety to rank ns n military tower with richer nnd moro populous na- lons. At any rate , it Is Impossible to sea mw rellof Is to come , unless It comas from ho carrying to nn Intolurablo extreme of the ixUting .system of a maximum force In time if poaco. * # If diplomacy can find uo common ground of tmlorstandlng with regard to where the lies shall bo conclusively drawn between Cngland and Knssia In the east and Itscoms 0 the most sagacious statesmen of Ktiropo in possible tu find such ground than sooner r later the question must bo submitted to ho arbitrament , of the sword.
