. THE STANFQRD SUIT.
The suit of the United States
against the Leland Stanford estate
is an attempt to recover some part
of the vast debt-of the Ceatral Ps
cifio railroad to the government
under a law of the state of Califor
nia, which makes the personal
estate of stockholders liable for
corporation debts. The principal
stockholders of the Central Pacific
were Huntington, Hopkins, Crocker
and Stanford., Huntington alone
is living, but the administration of
the estate ot Stanford is not finished.
Suit is brought against the admin
istrators as the easiest pay to test
the validity of the law. Should it
be sustained, suit certainly will,
follow against Huntington and
probably against the Crocker and
Hopkins heirs, if they retain stock
in the Central Pacific.
, The debt iB more , than $50,000,
000: The United Slates guaranteed
bonds of the Central Pacific to the
amount of iiearly $26,000,000. On
these bonds it has paid nearly
$40,000,000 interest, and it must
pay the principal when due, which
will be in a very short time. The
road has repaid .about $7,000,000
by transportation service and about
$6,000,000 through thesinking
fund act, leaving a balance of $53,
flOO.OOO. This is secured by a sec
ond mortgage upon the road, which
is bankrupt and worthless; proba
bly would not sell for enough to
pay the first mortgage bonds. A
plan is pending to extend the debt
of all the bind grant roads 100 years
at 2 per cent, in consideration of a
mortgage upon branches not in
cluded in the present lien. This
may offer the government some
security as to the Union Pacific,
but it is valueless as to the Central
which has no branches. Every
thing in the Bystem, except the
bare line across the mountains from
San Francisco to Ogde'n, belongs to
the Southern Pacific.
Meanwhile the original and pres
ent stockholders of the Southern
Pacific are very rich men many
times millionaires The founda
tion of their fortunes was the mo
ey advanced them by the govern
ment to build the Central Pacific.
Upon the credit of that property
and out of its profits, they built
the magnificent Southern Pacific
system, whidh brought them enor
mous fortunes and still is valuable
property. They have so manipu
lated affaire that the Central Pa
cific, upon whidh the government
had claims, earned nothing and
depreciated constantly, while their
own property monopolized all the
profit. The government loaned
them $26,000,000 and interest for
thirty years, $62,000,000 in all.
Out of this' they have made hun
drsxlu of millions. They have paid
$13,000,000 of the debt, but have
so hugger-muggered the security
that they ean not be made to pay
any more unless their profits can
lie drawn upon, through operation
of this California state law.
That is the situation in a nut
ehell. The moral obligation of
Stanford, Huntington, the Crocker
heirs and Mrs. Hopkins to dis
chargethe debt of the Central Pa
cific to the government is clear,
and it is not weakened by the fact
that Stanford left his money to
found a university. The suit oughf
to be pressed. Oregonian. - :
The Chicago Evening Journal,
one of the most conservative papers
in the west, and little likely to be
moved by unnecessary alarm, sees
nothing reassuring in presenkcoo
ditions, but on the contrary much
to cause apprehension and doubt.
It says "it needs an optimist of the
most pronounced order to see any
thing in the signs of the times that
is 'especially encouraging. Things
are ripe for a change when certain
prevailing conditions shall have
chagged. Strikes all over the
country and the dickering jn Con
gress over tariff legislation are tfie
principal elements tending toward
depression. Capital is timid in the
lawlessness. Troops, called out iy
many states, riot run rampant, n
coal famine and an apparent widen
ing of the breach between capital
and labor are not conducive to busi
ness activity nor increased confi
dence. Production has been cur
tailed by these' troubles, but yet it
is in excess of the demand, but
there is general disposition to limit
manufactures to the necessities of
the day. Wheat is selling at.thti
lowest price on record. Failures
seem to be increasing, and the sit
uation in general is one to make
business men hesitate. Every
thing is on such a low basis, and
the liquidation has been so general
excepting real estate, that a remov
al of the causes which produce
these serious effects would be fol
lowed by a quick revival and
higher prices. The clearings for
the week Bhow a decrease of 21 per
entlltand there are no .exceptions
save among a, few of 'the Bmaller
towns. Chicago holds her own as
second on the list, with a decrease
below the avers ge. Money is still
very abundant, but bankers show
less diBpostion to make loans and
seem to be advancing rates. Gold
continues to go out in large quan
tities. The reserve is sadly de
pleted and the deficit constantly
increasing."
One yea? ago last Tuesday the
citizens of Linn county were sadly
aroused by the sight of closed doors
of three of her banks. The bank
of Lebanon ceased to hand money
over the counter on that day and
its doors have been closed to busi
ness ever since. The people jvere
naturally and justly -jery indig
nant. Their confidence hod. been
betrayed and their savings squan
dered. They have not Tet been
paid and the whoy matter is before
the courts for settlement. This
was the beginning of very hard
times that have been gettingharder
eyer since. But there is light
ahead, if we can trust the pros
pects. There are large crops to
harvest. Then there is the often
repeated assurance given y our
republican friends that times would
brighten as soon as their candidates
were elected. Times have natur
ally brightened for these gentle
men, whether or not this great
brightness will be diffused among
tEe masses is a question that time
only can disclose. We shall hope
for better times, and go for the
republicans if we don't get them.
Confidence is again "restored, as
Pen n oyer is no more. So Says the
Oregonian. We will see.
If the California republicans
were in Oregon they would be
called Pennoyer populists. Their
platform adopted at Sacramento
Wednesday is almost identical with
the one Pennoyer stood on in the
late Oregon campaign. It Is even
more radically populistic in de
manding that part of the customs
receipts shall be used by the far
mers irt payment of grain ship
ments to foreign ports.
Nathan Piebce, the defeated
populist candidate for .governor,
has a vein of humor in hie compos
ition. While on a visit to Pendle
ton the other day he was asked
what he was doing now. With a
merry twinkle in his eye he replied
"I am looking out for that 10,000
acre farm the republicans gave me
in the campaign.. It was my first
chance to become a land baron,
and I don't want to lose it."
The Linn County Review, pub
lished at Sodaville, reached oor
table again yesterday, C. G. Le
Masters is this time at the helm
and it is a bright end newsy little
sheet. We,wish it success.

Diar .Sm: About a yew ago I was
laid up with rheumatism, I was in a
terrible state. I could not torn over In
bed without assistance. As there was
no physician in Harney I triad various
liniments, but they all failed. When
my condition was very serious, as the
pain seemed to be striking near the
heart, your agent came along and had a
bottle of Congo Oil. Hearing I was ill
with rheumatism, he called upon me,
and brought a bottle of Congo Oil. He
commenced rubbing me with it, and in
me than nve minutes l was relieved : in
halt an hour I waa able to awing mv feet
out of bed, and one hour I was down
stain. He left the bottle with me and I
applied it several times. From that day
to this I have not been troubled with
rheumatism. I feel that I owe my life
to the wonderful oil. All this can be
jrerified by Fred Haines, of Harney, also
the landlord ol the hotel and several
others. I always carry a bottle of Congo
Oil In my grip now.
xours very truly,
