ASTORIA, OREGON:
TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 10. 1SS1
AN EXPLANATION AND DEFENCE.
Ukder the Leading of "Villard's
Stewardship," the Oregonian pub
lishes an extensive statement and
justification from the dethroned rail
road monarch.
It is a plain review of the history
of the Northern Pacific railroad from
the time that he took the position of
president of that corporation to the
day that the collapse came and the
thing could no longer float
He begins by claiming considerable
executive ability, which must be
justly conceded to him. He says:
The task imposed upon me was a
vast and most difficult one. It meant
for me a load of responsibility, care
and anxiety, such as I believe few
. men nave ever borne in this country.
It involved the building of an aggre
gate of 2,000 miles of railroad, with
all tne appurtenances, earned on
simultaneously in "Wisconsin, Minne
sota, Oakota, Montana, Oregon and
"Washington territory, and of a large
fleet or ocean steamers. It necessi
tated the raising of not far from one
hundred and twenty-five million dol
lars of actual money. There was
work enough for a generation, but.
with the aid of my able and faithful
assistants, it was accomplished nearly
nil in less man lour years.
After recounting his triumphs of
execution he shows that in the fall of
1880 Gen. Anderson, the chief engi
neer put in an estimate of the cost of
the whole work that aggregated a lit
tle over S37,000,000, This was taken
as a bat-is, and work pushed with the
utmost rapidity. In Jan. 1882, the
chief engineer submitted another es
timate making the work still remain
ing to be done cost 24,000,000. About
the same time he states that the re
fusal of President Arthur to appoint
commissioners to accept finished por
tions of the mileage caused a refusal
on the part of financiers to furnish
money and precipitated the final
crash. On this point he sajB:
Thus I was actually brought face
to face, in February, 1882, with the
necessity, at no distant day, of a sus
pension of payments, and its calam
itous consequences, bankruptcy and
foreclosure unless relief could be ob
tained from some quarter. I consid
ered it my duty to extend to the com
pany personally all the assistance in
my power. Next, I arranged with
the Oregon ' and Transcontinental
Company to assist, by the loan of its
creau ana its assets to oe used as
collaterals by your company. I com
menced to make cash advances on
my personal account on April 14, and
continued them until Auerust 26.
when they reached the maximum
amount of 3,441,000. I lent this
great sum without any security what
ever, and at the risk of personal ruin.
In view of the vile calumnies spread
about my management, I claim it as
my privilege to give due prominence
to tnis fact. .Nor will it be improper,
in view of the attitude recently as
sumed toward me by certain mem
bers of your board of directors, to
say that my record in this respect
will suffer uothincr by comparison
with the terms on which they loaned
money to the company.
So Jhat all through 1882 and 1883
sat at all his feasts the skeleton of
financial ruin to his pet scheme of
the Oregon and Transcontinental,
which he claims made possible the
building of the road.
Further he shows that on the com
pletion the road cost nearly $19,000,
000 more than the chief engineer es
timated it would. He closes with a
vigorous defense of his action
throughout and prophecies a success
ful issue to the great adventure. He
certainly had a heavy load to carry
and a heavy strain to bear in carry
ing his last spike excursion across
the continent writh the unwelcome
knowledge of impending ruin con
stantly astride his shoulders.
It is a pity he didn't extend his confessions-
and revealments a little
further and throw a little light on his
juggleries and chicanery with re
gard to the Astoria land grant and
his telegrams of one year ago.
SENSE OF THE HUMOROUS.
In a recent sermon Henry "Ward
Beecher, discussing the "Fruits of
Patience," illustrates the possession
of a keen sense of humor, thus: "A
king in disguise, wandering incognito
through different lands, brought oft
entimes to great straits, obliged to
company with peasants, to gnaw their
black bread, to suffer hunger and
thirst, oftentimes pushed hither and
thither. But he lives within him
self and says, "How absurd forme,
who am a king, who have revenues in
abundance, to be put in these con
ditions. Here I am treated as any
peasant; I am shoved here and there
and nobody takes any account of me.
In a few weeks, or days, at most, I
Bhall recover myself, and sit in high
places." So with us. It is related in
one of the western states that a dis
guished governor, who dressed very
plainly, being expected in a large
town, went in such homely guise
that the landlord of the hotel, think
ing him to be nobody but a sturdy
farmer, and anticipating the arrival
of the governor and his retinue,
packed him off way up in the attic
room and then waited for the gov
ernor to come. Now, as he went up
into his little room, he must have en
joyed it immensely. I should have
done so, at any rate the discrepancy
between the treatment accorded and
that which the man was expected to
give me, thinking I was a farmer,
when I was the leading statesman
and politician in the whole state, and
I seeing all the arrangements made
for the governor and knowing that I
WW the man. Ah! it is a great thing to
have the senBe of humor. To go
through life without it, to have no
sense of the humorous and ridicu
lous, is like being in a wagon without
springs."
"Whtle the shallows of the Kepub-
hcan party murmur, the deeps are
dumb. One particular deep, at least,
is speechless. That particular deep
is Boscoe Conkling, once the strong
man of the grand old party. Boscoe
has nothing to say. His curl is still.
Perhaps in the distant f uture,when the
grand old party calls him to arise, he
may stretch his Apollo-like limbs and
get up. For the present he wen't:
and all things considered, he is a
sensible man.
OmciAii statistics published in
Germany show that the total number
of emigrants who left Hamburg and
Bremen during the six months end
ing July 31st last was 100,800.
Gen. Shebmax has forever forfeit
ed his hopes of becoming president
He has taken to umpiring base-ball
games.
"What next ! Telephones are now
being introduced on large steamers.
Canton, China, has 1,500,000 inhab
itants and no newspaper.
