Prepare themselves to maim some concessions -

Either this must bo done or the present
course of events must be allowed to run on

by a laborious building up upon a new foun-
daton , This wi not be an agreeable task

Chicgo Herald ( dem. ) : The gloomy pre-
dictions oC some Drltsh newspapers over
our present financial predicament have famil-
Ilr ears , 'Ve saw them several times In the
past , They loom up In history. They were
visible above the horIzon In 1812. They were
discernible at the zenith for several years
between 1861 and 1865. We smile at their
mlgnlude and are amused by theIr con-
vohtmtions . And meanwhile they may just as
well bo hauled In and , put In dry dock again
for sonic future emergency. The United
States will take care ot their finances and
go right along working out their salvation '
In Ihelr own way without British help and .

Buffalo Express : I' } . Elery Atidersomi rep.
resenting time receivers of time UnIon Pacifc
railroad , writes to the chairman of the house
railroads committee that It would cost time
government about $10Q,000,000 to acquire pSe
session of time Union Pacifc road. I the
Union Pacifc Is really In the bankrupt comm-
dllon It Is representcd to bo time holders at
the first mortgage should be willing to sellout
out much cheaper thln ( limit .
New York Wprld : Time right thing to do
with all these Pacilo railroad debts Is to eel-
lect timern . I time companie wi not or emma-
nol pay , their property and franchises should
bo sold for debt , precisely as Is done with
any other Insolvent debtor . In this case time
government should proceed also to collect lie
$64,000.000 for which the orlAlnal stockholders
or their estates are justly liable. And It Is
cerlaln that time government would long ago
have done both at these things If corporate
influence had not Interfered to prevent One
at its lost Impudent Interrerences Is time
pressing of this tricky Reiy bill at false lIre-
tetisee. The right thing to do with It Is to
vote It out at existence
Chicago Herald : A dozen fortunes oC from
twelve to twenty millions each have been
made ! by men who have managed the Pacifc
raiiroaths. Cliques , combInatons , Inside ring
all spolators imave' diverted the earnings oC
limo companies and fled their own poelwts.
Congressional corruption and lethargy have
permitted this to be done , while time government .
ment las been robbed at the ( money which
It has paid year after year as Interest , and ot
the money which was not Ilall tlto a sinking
fund for the relcmplon ot its bonds. I Is
now $3 , OOO,000 "In time hole , " with the
frt mortgage debt ot $65,000.000-more than

Staumford Huntington and other fortunes .ab.
solulely accumulated by the manipulation at

onla to IlbY time debts , amount to enough to
