FORECLOSE AND SELL.
The Oregonian arlvocntes the re
funding of the debts of the Union
and Central Pacific railroads, and
giving them an extension of time in
which o settle with the sovernment
for debts now due it. The Union
Pacific received aid. through the gov
ernment to the amount of $33,539,
312, and the Central Pacific in the
sum of 27,855,080. This amount
was over ard above the vast area of
lands given the roads outright. The
government has paid for the Union
Pacific in interest $60,552,853, and
for the CeDtral $47,190,821. The
total interest paid by the govern
ment is $107,743,675. The roads
have paid the government $49,349,
000, and still owe it $121,479,837
It will be seen at a glance that, ow-
ing to the accumu'ation of interest
and in "spite of all payments, the
roadsowe twice as much now as they
did when completed in 1869.
The proposed scheme, engineered
by Mr. Collis P. Huntington, is to
have the sovernment extend the
time of payment, at a reduced rale of
interest, a rate way below what the
government would have to pay for
the use of the money. By. this
scheme Huntington and his partners
and successors in financial crime,
would have the use of the money for
a hundred years, that being the time
wanted, practically without interest,
In the meanwhile the difference be
tween the interest the government
would get and that it would pay
would make a sum running well up
towards two billion dollars, an
amount equal to double the national
debt.
It looks as tkougb. the best thins
that can be done is to foreclose,
and if the aovernmeni does not
want to cperate the roads, give them
away. There is nothing to be gained
by extension, nothing bat debt. If
the debt doubled in twenty-five
years it is safe to say. it will not only
double, but now that its interest-
earning capacity has been doubled,
it will continue to grow, increasing
in arithmetical progression, until at
the. end of a hundred years it would
amount to many billions of dollars,
If some means could be provided for
protecting the governrrent, for creat
ing a sinking fund that would sink
the debt instead of the government,
extension of time would do, but this
cannot be done. At least in the
twenty-five years since the roads
were completed it has not been done.
and the sinking fund provided by the
Thurman act does not do anything
towards reducing the debt.
As the roads are at present man
aged, Huntington controls the Cen
tral, and thus prevents opposition to
the Southern Pacific. Foreclosure
would at leist take' this game out of
his hands and bring relief to the peo-
tvIa trihnrarv trt flincA rrtods Tr.
wonld give Huntington opposition,
and that is something. Extension
of time simply means presenting
$60,000,000 to the gentleman with
the sway-backed head, who presides
over the destinies of the Southern
and Central Pacific roads, and con
sequently over those of the people of
California. -
Foreclosure ani sale is the only
sensible remedy, for if the govern
ment irets nothing?, it will at least be
able to pay up, protect its loss, and
make the most it can of a very bad
bargain. .
explain why gold does not come into
this country in payment for its ex
ports? Why money is loaned, New
York money, in England at three
per cent, while the farmers cannot
get it for ten? .Why real estate in
the shape of farm lands is no longer
considered security for borrowed
money? And bow the eastern capi
talist expects a return of prosperity
under these conditions, when forty-
two per cent of our entire population
cannot borrow a dollar on their prop
erty?

INFORMATION WANTED.
"Wlide the anthorities bn financial
matters are airing their knowledge
We spoke briefly yesterday of fin
ancial matters, and it seems to us
that upon the answering of the ques
tions asked then depends, in a great
measure, the prosperity of the country-
That this is a great manufact
uring country is freely admitted.
but it is great because it has such an
enormous home market for its manu
factured articles. It has the home
market because it is the greatest ag
ricultural country on earth; because
42 per cent of its population creates
wealth by tilling the soil. This . 42
per cent is the foundation upon
which the prospeiity of the whole
country depends, because if they
prosper all the balance prosper; when
they are pinched for money, every
factory feels it at once, in the dead
and glutted market for its wares. It
is only by fostering the farmer that
the balance cf the country can flour
ish. Do we realize this or nttempt
it? Look at the fanners and an
swer. According to our great dailies, we
are not receiving gold for our excess
of exports, and this they say is the
cause of our business depression. Is
this true ? We think not. The true
reason lies in the new theories of
money-lenders ; it lies in the modern
ideas as to what constitutes security
for loans, and which gives a prefer
ence to negotiaole paper, to bank
stocks, railroad shares, bonds, etc.,
and ignores real estate.
Time was when the broad acres of
our grand domain, that produced the
wealth of the country, that fed our
people and sent fabulous stores to the
hungry millions of Europe, were
considered gilt-edged securities for
loans. That time exitts no longer,
and the money-lender prefers the
low interest bearing securities, even
of Europe, to the fertile acres of his
own land. The farmer at times must
borrow money, just as every other
business man must do, but when he
goes into the money market and
offers a mile square of God-given
earth as security for a loan, he can
not get it without paying a high rate
of interest and an exorbitant bonus.
His business is thus loaded with a
debt it, or any other business, cannot
THE NEW YEAR.
At midnight tonight the old year
expires. ' Rheumatic of joint, wheezy
of breath, grizzled ot beard, rheumy
eyed, decrepit, and bent "with age,
1896, totters over the precipice and
drops into the fathomless abyss of
the past. He goes unregretted, for
when we stop to consider the hopes
he held out as he danced, naked and
cherub-like, out of the elsewhere into
toe now; hopes that he never ful
filled wej drop a few tears of regret,
and, moved by the spirit of hope,
turn to his baby successor.
It is useless to ponder over the
things that . might have been, the
blasted hopes, the . severed friend
ships, the broken resolutions; and it
is, perhaps, equally useless to exult
in new hopes, cement new friendships
or make new resolutions, for 1897
coming on apace, has the same win
ning, open-faced fetnile, to beguile us
to our hurt and woo us to our un-
What matters it, after all,
is only another milestone,
on the journey. We have
each wiggled in our little sphere,
now scaring in the ether of the upper
stratum, and anon groveling in the
mire around the mudsills, yet of im
portance only to ourselves. That
we will alternately soar and fall in
1897 as we did during the reign of
his ancestors, is beyond question.
So, here's to' 18971 We trust
him for a smoother pathway and an
easier load ; but we trust him be

M'CLVRE'S FOR JANUARY.
We acknowledge the receipt of the
advance sheets of McClure's tor Jan
uary, it is probably the rotlenest
number ever issued. Hamlin Gar
land's maudlin stories about Grant
are enough to make any one close
the magazine in disgust, no matter
how meritorious the other sketches
mav be. Garland mumbles his an
cient chestnuts with wearisome im
becility. The balance of the articles
have, perhaps, more truth, but are
of about equal merit. Kipling, gen
erally good, writes to fill space, and
Charles Henry Hart writes without
any reason therefor.

pay, and then the capitalist looks
upon land as poor security.
The remedy is simple. Instead of
ending money in Europe at four per
cent, let our capitalists advance
money to farmers at, say, 6 per sent
on long time. If this were done the
further could meet his interest and
pay off the principal. As it is the
interest devours his substance, de
stroys his hopes, his ambition and his
manhood, It makes a slave of his
wife and helots of his children; all
struggling to make the farm pay
more than enough to meet the in-
interest, and struggling in vain. The
argument may be advanced that the
farmer should not go in debt. This
is true; bat he cannot help himself
oftentimes. Neither should business
men go in debt, nor cities, counties,
states nor governments ; but they do.
Aud it may be added that if they
had to pay ten per cent interest on
their debts, not counting a repctend
bonus, they would never get out of
debt, nor would they pay the inter
est The truth is, the farmers are
charged a rate of interest no business
can pay, and then they are told their
lands are worthless as security, be
cause they will not do the impossible.
If our money-lenders will assist
the farmer, the result will surprise
them, because as he prospers and has
money to satisfy the wants he now
leaves unsatisfied, there will be such
an era of rushing business as this
country has never known.
Our suggestion yesicrday that we
would publish the list of marriageable
young ladies, after New Years, has met
with hearty response; eo hearty that we
have dropped tbe idea like a hot potato,
have written oar obituary and hang it
up where it is handy, and now wait with
that calmness born of despair, the worst.
Our mail is overflowiug with protests,
letters breathing war, pestilence, famine,
vengeance, and all the ills of the seven
vials of wrath of the Apocalypse. Of

the young lady that her name will not

counter or clearance sale, for the fellow
that gets her will get a prize that is not
tongue-tied, and that can advertise
itself. Here is another sample :
The Dalles. Dec. 31,
Editor Chronicle : I see by tbe last
issue ot your valuable paper that you are
contemplating the publishing of the
names of the marriageable young ladies
left over after this leap year. I sincere
ly hope yoa will not do so. I should eo
dislike to be taken to someone's manly
heart with tbe suggestion always) in my
mind that it was pity, and not love,
that caused said someooe to select me.
I am 26, fair, brown hair, gray eyes, of a
tender and lovable disposition ; can play
the piano and washboard with equal
facility ; can broil a beefsteak or dance a
waits, both in time and tone. That I
am left over is probably my own fault.
for I am painfully bashful, bat I assure
yoa 1 nave a heart that sometimes tests
the strength of my. Ahem ! corset steels.
So I would not like to be classed with
tbe left-overs. I have my eyes on sev
eral young fellows, and I like them all
awfully. I know if my affections ever
center on one of them be wonld be
hapDy forever. I therefore aek that voa
do not publish my name, bat leave me
to work, oat my own salvation in my
own way.
Realizing the goodness of heart pos
sesbed by all editors, and in a remarka
ble, I might say phenomenal degree by
yourself, I am -Most
Sincerely Yours,

Nay! Nay! Violet, your name ehah
not go on the bargain counter. With all
your varied accomplishments and gen
tle disposition, you cannot be left long
to blush unclaimed in the rosebud gar
den of girls. Console yourself, and aiso
all your lovely and lovable sisters ot The
Dalles. We are not anguishing to die,
and hence we quit. We publish thr
above samples of the letters received to
justify our conduct in letting go and tor
square ourself with the boys. -
Probably not one reader in 1,000 ever
heard of . a "bird organ" or saw
one. They are made only in France,
and are imported to this country
in small numbers, as dealers in mu
sical boxes have few calls for them,
and generally send for them only upon
orders from customers. .They are
made solely for teaching- tunes to
tanaries and bullfinches. A wooden
box about a foot square contains a
larjje roller covered with pasteboard
upon which bra-ss y.ins are ;ct accord
ing" to the system used in preparing
the rolls of music boxes. ISeiieath the
roller is a small pair of bellows, and in
the back of the box is set a row of ten
metal pipes about the size of a long
lead pencil. When the crank on the
outside of the box is rapidly turned
wind is forced into the pipes, as the
valves open when the metal torque be
longing to each is struck by a pin on the
roller. The music . in therefore pro
duced on the principle cf a .set of
Tan's pipes, and is very shrill and high,
yet sweet and full. V
The ten notes produced by the ten
pipes range from middle G in the staff
to Ii, above, or an octave and three notes.
That is, the bird music is written in the'
octave used in the musical notation
for the human, voice, but properly
would be written in an octave higher
when comparing the voice of a canary
w ilh the voice of a soprano. However.
the quality of the tor.C3 differ so great
ly that the shrilf, clear pipe of the bird
makes its voice sound us if it were
pitched much higher than is really the
case. -
The "bird orgtin" is pitched in exact
ly the same tone and key as the voice
of the canary, or perhaps this is put
ting the cart before the horse, for the
bird strikes faultlesslv the key and
tone of the pipes. It is more accurate
to sav, after all, that on the hand the
organs ore pitched to be with the ca-
narv's voice, as the result of the ex
perience of the builders, and, that the
canary shows wonderful 'power of im
itation in falling in with the tone qual
ities of its teacher. If one note in th
organ ia off thejiey in the slightest de
gree tho bird takes the same tone, and
if it onoc learns that note wrong it
will always carry the blemish -in. the
harmony. .Ml cf the airs ucod in these
organs are written in the keys of G
ine sharp, or iu C, aud ns they have
only the range of ten notes, from (J
to 1 !, it is very difficult to adapt many
tunes to the limitations of canary
music.
There is a dealer ki music boxes on
Riilge avenue who sells "bird organs"
and writes music for the canary teach
ers, lie hns u drawer nliect witli man
uscript music which he has arranged for
ut.e in these 'bird organs," and he also
puts times to order on the rollers. He
has bird oriracs which' pipa a reper

Guards." "Yankee Doodle," "A Dream
of Love." L'jcv Gray." "Down Went
MeGinty," aud "You Can't Tlay in My

six months.

MOON BLINK.
A Peculiar Blindness Caused by Sleeping
in the Moonlight.
Three cases of "mconblink" occurred
on the British steamship Acanthus,
which reached Philadelphia the other
day. After the low-iying hills fringing
the shores of Batavia faded from view
oa the afternoon of July 14 for 80 days
her crew of CO officers and seamen saw
no land, sighted no vessel and encoun
tered no storm. Among the crew are
three seamen who, during the run
across the Indian ocean, suffered terri
bly from sudden blindness at night, the
result of that strange disease of the
eyes prevalent in the tropics, and
known to sailors as "moonblink." One
bright, moonlight night, while the
Acanthus was steaming across the In
dian ocean, one, of them finding his
berth in the forecastle too uncomforta
bly hot. went out and lay upon, the
deck.- The moon was nearing her full
and shone nlmost directly overhead.
When the watch was changed at mid
night he, was awakened and was horri
fied to find himself blind. .At first the
captain thought :hc mau might be
shamming to avoid going on duty, but
an investigation was made, and it was
found that he could not se, cli-hcugh
his eyes were wide open. The calamity
vas at once diagnosed ns a case, of
"moonblink," and the captain cau
tioned his men against running such
risks. When day began to break pight
began to return, and by sunrise he
could fee as' well as if nothing unusual
had happened. A!l of that day the
case formed the chief topic of conversation-
and when night came two more
men determined to test the effect of the
moon. After a two hours' nap in the
full glare of the moon both men were
awakened totally blind. An order from
the captain prevented any further ex
perimenting in that line during the rest
of the voyage.

A new appointment has been madt
from Watcrfovd to tho chair cf profes
sor of Gaelic in Mnynooth college, Ire
land. The new appointee is a member
af -the Gaelic league "of Dublin, and
was the first editor of the Archaeolog
ical Journal, cf Waterford. The opin
ion is very general that Gaelic is an
cxt inert, language, or one nearly ex
tinet.and the labors of the Gaelic so
ciety in Xw York to revive its use
have lent some color to that opinion.
Nevertheless, as figures show, the
Gaelic tongue, is most tenacious, and,
according to the last reports, is spoken,
though not exclusively, by 1,000,000
persons in the British Isles 600,000 in
Ireland, 330,000 in Wa,!es and 220,000 in
Scotland.
Though English is the official lan
guage of all these countries, the pop
ularit.y of Er.gl.-sh increases slowly de
spite the disadvantage under which
those who use Gaelic labor, that of hav
i re no estabr.shed grammar and no
recorrnitkn in an offk-ial way. Gaelic
fulfills the colloquial requirements o
the farmers -and fishermen in the coun
ties rcmotte frcm 4he large cities, some
what as the Basque language continue
to be popular in the northern province;
of Spain.
In this country Gaelic has made little
headway, though many patriotic Irish
men have by various methods endeav
ored to acquaint others less patriotic
with its advantages. While the use of
most European languages has about
doubled in 75 years, five times as many
jiersons spealc English as did in 1620.

bright bird with a good ear, and the
sweetest singer may turn out a failure
as a trained soloist. Bullfinches arc eas
ier to teach, but they are eo short-lived
that the results are scarcely worth the
trouble. A canary will keep his voice
and memory for eight or ten years,
and he makes the sweetest music in

The German's patience and love of
music make him most successful in the
training of canaries, and nearly all
of the schooled songsters in Philadel
phia have been educated by Germans.
The man lias sold several at an average
price of about $100. There are many
curious industries in a great city, but
none more unusual than the educating
of canaries, and the adding to one's in

The music furnished is very simple, and
accidentals, grace, notes, runs and

of .key and range, and earns all that he
gains in this unique fashion. Occa

which the adapter discovers cannot be
adapted to the vocal powers of the

tory substitute. "Home, Sweet Home"
is one of the sweetest and easiest airs
for rt canary to be taught, and once
heard will linger always In the memory.
