Tlie Technicality That They Received^Csn.l c, rants From the states and^Not ttie Nation^Central and^I nlon Pacific t Igures.
WamHini-ton,Sept. au. -Kailroad ( om-^missioncr Tuyior, in his annual report,^says: Several laud (train railroad com-^panics decline to .n^*strt for the reason^that such grunts were made by the rt^^spectivc states ill which the roads are lo-^cuted and not by the I'nited States and as^^sert therefore that they tlo not conic within^tint language of congress creating this bu^^reau and defining its |^owera. The |k^-^sition taken by these companies would^seem to be teehnieul and evasive. The^lands were owned by the I'nited States^ami were gruntisT by acts of congress to^the stutes for the sole purpose ^^' ai^liiiK^in the construction of the railrootl. The^companies received the full benefit of the^grants. The matter was referred to the^secretary of the interior for judicial auct^^ion. The coiutniasioner says* there have^been no inspections uutl no cxuminatioiis^of the hooks and accounts of railroads^subject to ;th^- su|M'rvision of his^bureau, during tile current year^prior to his uppoinUiicut us^commissioner July 17, 1XKU. He is then^^fore unable to make the report as full^unci complete as it otherwise might have^Imm-ii. Since his appointment, however,^an examination of several railroads in^which the government tuts a pecuniary^interest has been made.
Thetotal liability of the Virion Pacific^to the government June HI), lss'.i, was^*f)l,-j^'.1^,7;rj; the excess of interest paid by^the United Stutes over all credits amounts^to $17,rJ0,2HO; tiie total liability of the^company wan ftai^,o3B,l.V.I; the assets^amounted to *J7b.:m,7^t. The liability ot^the Central Pacific to the government^was S52,:25ti,7:tt ; excess of interest paid by^tlie United States over credits, ssi 1,401.(154.^The total debt of tile company was #lL'.r^,-^25n.l*J6, and the capital stock ftiS.OUU.UIU.^The assets amounted to fc^!,275,-^738, which was a net decrease in^the assets during the year of 'r7;fc2.8'lf^.^The sinking funds of the Union and Cen^^tral Pacific companies delivered by the^secretary of the treasury amount to #1H,-^514,^m. The Sioux City A Pacific railrootl^received bonds from the I'nited States^am..uiiiing to #1 ,*^JH,2J^^ to aid in the con^^struction of 101}/^ miles. Tlie interest^paid by tile I'nited Stutes amounts to^l).VU,4!IJ, and there have been retained by^the treasury on account of transportation^services il.Vt.MKi* leaving the aggregate^amount flue the government, s.i..-,j-,:tie,t.^The excess of interest paid by the I'nited^States over credits was # 1 .silli.HHo. The^subsitlized portion of the Central brunch^of the Union Pacific received ill bonds fl,-^liim.om. The aggregate debt to the gov^^ernment at the end of the fiscal year^amounts to aM,:i:)4.7tU; excess of interest^paid over credits, #l,7;H,7t^J.
Mostof the legislation for regulating^railway traflie within the state has been^wisely conservative- mill was most as^^suredly demanded for tlie protection of^the public against unjust charges and^discriminations in I.s al truth-, us was the^inter-state commerce law to protect com^^merce Is'tween the states. ^I l^c-^licvc,^ says the commissioner, ^in^many sections of tlie west, conspicuously in^Iowa aud Kansas the mileage of the rail^^roads is greatly in excess of the legitimate^needs of the carrying trade. If this l^e^true then many of tlie investments in^railroad properties there must fail to^yield remunerative dividends, or schedule^rates must be fixed so high us to prove^ruinously burdensome to traffic For this^unfortunate condition of ult'airs neither^the people nor the railway eom-^Iktnics are to blame. Moth have^contributed to bring it about.^This condition of things presents a prol^-^leni difficult of solution. It is safe to say^the remedy does not lie in the levying of^extortionate charges or the waging of^reckless rate wars. '
Thesecurity t^f the railway system^lies in administering it with^careful rosi^ect to justice and^public welfare. If its oppressive^hand is laid too heavily upon tin- |^eoplc,^revenge and revolt will Is- sure to follow.^If inrestres in railroad prois'rtics have^ex|w tided their capital in tlie construction^of lines not demanded by present trade,^then they must share the fate of all who^invest in unptxsluctivc enterprises. H^^^lief cm only come through imreased^settlement, stimulating business and de^^veloping natural resources.^The interests of railroads and the public,^says tlie commissioner, suffer front tin*^fact that railroad managers devote their^energy too largely to securing trade from^competing centers and do not sutlii iently^eiieourago the develo|H'ineiit of loea 11ralie.^The commissioner dwells at length ou the^problem of securing to the government,^^ Htymeiit oft he amounts duo from bonded^road-.He says be has come
to the conclusionthat tlie
mostfeasible plan to be adopted is to^grunt a reasonable extension of time^with reduced interest, and require pay^^ment of a certain per cent, of gross earu-^iugs*^f roads, to be applied in liipiiditiou^to their indebtedness to the government.^This would relieve tin- railroad compa^^nies from embnrrussmeut that might^come to them were they required to pay-^fixed sums at a stated per cent. Ill^time of business depression when^the receipts were light their id^-^ligation- to pay would Is- correspondingly^reduced, while in pros|m-rous years they^could afford _ to make increased^payments. A lit In se companies own or^operate various lines in addition to^those subsidized. The government bus^no claim upon the earnings of these tion-^subsidix-d lines, and truffle- tuny Is- di^^verted either naturally or with a purtssse^from aided to non-uiditl lines,^and various changes in expense accounts^may be e.ltered up against the aidisl |m^r-^tiou that should lie chargeable to the non-^aided portion. It is apparent that sub^^sidised roads cannot discharge their obli^^gations to the government at maturity. It^is the commissioner's opinion it would Is-^wise for congress to pass uli act giving u^reasonable extent of time; ns hie^^ing the rate of interest to three^or four iier cent.; requiring that earning-^from all government traiisoctiohs by sul^-^sidi/ed companies on all lines o|s'rat^il^by them, whether aided or non-aided,^should Is' applied to the payments of any^interest or pnnci|utl due, or which should^become ilue within the fiscal year within^which services might Is- rendered;^prohibiting the payment of any divi^^dends by subsidised companies unless^such company shall have paid tlie interest
onits bonded debt; having a lien prior to^the government and all matured indebt^^edness and interest then dm* aud of such
K.rcciitugcof gross earnings of sulMitliacd^sea as by careful estimates would realise^sums sufficient to pay the interest or rea^^lise a sinking fund that would meet tlie^principal of ileitis at their maturity.^Said companies should also be
tMTinittcdto refund first mortgage^studs ..nil such provisions as would ,irc-^vent an increase in debt which Is allowed^priority over tlie debt due the United^Stall's. The commissioner makes recom^^mendations f,^r amendments of various^kind-, umoiig them that all accounts of^these railroads Is- rendered through hitll^instead of going direct to the different de-^Itartmeiits as in the past. ^as,^^says he, ^it t* important that there^Is- some bureau of government in^which can lie found full information us to^accounts 1s t wis h bonded ruilronds and^tin- United Stutes. Tlicre are now mil^^lions of dollars of unsettled bills pigeon^^holed in various departments of tile^treasury, and it is due to railroad com-
ttunicsthat all tlM'se uccoun's Im^ prompt-^y adjusted, ami that such sums as are^legally theirs lie credited or paid them. It^is also to the interest of the government^to know the exact condition of its ac^^counts with those companies.

Ia*itsvti.i.K.

Sunday the new^edifice of tin* Jefferson-street Methodist^ehiin h. on Jefferson street, near Twen^lieth, of w hich Kev. O. B. Overton la pas^^tor, was dedicated with im lass ing^ccn-moiiies, eonilucted by Bishop^Kennedy of New Orleans. But^then- would have Is-en no new^ellimll budding to dedicate, had it^^ lot hBSSB for a dream which Miss Bell*^Ferguson, the organist, had Thursday^night. The striletun* had been all com^^plete for some day-, and everything was^in n-udincss f,,r t|H. dedication for nearly^u week In fore. Among the ^ttlM-r new fur-^llitun- which had Im-^*u purchased by the^uieiiils-rs of the eoiign gation to make that^place of worship, which they hail loved so^to ens't, eoiuplet** ill ull its upisiinlmenta,^wus un organ. As she wus to pn-sidc at^the organ. Miss Ferguson was nat^^urally anxious that it should^Is* one l^t suit tin* purpose. When^the organ wus placed in the church, Mian^Ferguson gave it a trial and it worked^rather hard. Thursday evening Miss^Ferguson retired as usual. Site bad been^considerably pnsa-c upied with tin sights of^the cmiug dedication, but then- was no^thought of any mishap which would pre^^vent its isi-iiruiiee. Slumber ram* aa^usual, but in the small hours of tla* morn^^ing Miss Fergus,Hi's rest was disturbed by^a dreum. It waa not well tic fined, as sua^afterwunls tried to recall it, but thera^^^^rtiiiil to 1st an oppression on^her. Tt seemed to her that aba^was at tin' church anil everything was^in n-udincss for* tla* dedication. She sat^nt tin* organ, but just ut the moment when^she was Ut bring friiin the pipes tla* notes^of the sweet, solemn prelude, she became^uwun- that something was wn.ng and tits*^^ srgun w ould not work. In her dream she^tra d the keys again ami again, but no^sound issued. In the despair caused by^this and tla* keenness of the mental^strain. Miss Ferguson awoke to find that^it was only a dream. Staoti she fell asleep^again, but her rest was fitful.
When she arose in the morning tin,^young lady mentioned her strange dreum^to her family. l'|xiu the approach of the^succccdiiii* night tin* feeling that thera^wus som^.thing in the. meaning of the.^dream which ought to be investifrated.^grew upon the young organist. Sla* sent^wool to Mr. C. 11. Bliss, the choir-lcailer^und superintendent of tin- Sunday sclnsd,^a-kmg him to accompuiiy her to the^eliimli. He did so. When they^re i.-bed the front door it was^ipiitc dark. Mr. Bliss inserted the^key, turned it ami opciM^d the door. To^their astonishment and dismay tla* visi^^tors discovcnil smoke issuing from tlie^interior. Without waiting to summon^other assistance, they entered tin- church^t^t ascertain tin* cutis,', and this was^s|m*cdily pn*sciitcd. A bundle of rags on^one of tla* rear pews was found lu Ik- mi^fin*, and tin- |m-w wus catching. Quick^^ness wus tin* lusecssity of the moment,^and Mr. Bliss and Miss Ferguson^applied tlMMllse lv^*s valiantly to extin^^guish tla* tin* and save tla* pn-lty new^church from destruction. After a brief^battle this wus uccouiplisla-d. Others^wen- then summoned, ami tla* windows^thrown up and tin* smoke allowed tot*.^^ H|s-. It was discovensl that the rugs laid^; la in us. d to polish up the pews ami^1 other wihmI work, and had ts-cn thrown hi^i a pile on a pew. When tla- church waa^closed the rags, after a long time, took^fin*, pn'suiuably from -|s in turns mis com-^i bustioii. Tin- church cost in the ncigh-^Im.i-Iio.mI of *M l.i a ^ i, .i n^ I those of the mem-^i ls-rs who an- cogm/.iut of the facts are^! very thankful that the ipiietudc of Miss^Ferguson's mind wus disturls-d by the^timely dream.
