A New Paper.
“The asus Saporter . is evident»
ly concerned about the storm of indigs
nation it has aroused by its course on
the subsidy ‘question, ‘and ina Tate isBite It Opposes the further extension of
the influence and power of the Central
Pacific Railroad Company. But “fcr

stead of giving subsidies to, the . Cenoe, road, the Reporter prop
f the subsidy question .
polled, and give every corpgration an
equal show at the pevples’ money.
There’s wisdom for you. Divide the
people’s money: among all: the competitors that ask for it in order to keep it
out of the hands of the big monopoly ;
give all you have in the way of subsi~
dies to,somebody else:and» the Central
Pacific Will not get it,is the advice-of
the Reporter. This is traly-an origival
idea, which, if adopted; would be like
throwing yourself to the sharks to preBat in.
this instance there is. difference. ‘T be
Reporter does not explain .how the
whale is to be kept off, If subsidies
are wrong in principle they are wrong
under all. circumstances. The majority: has no tight to vote away ‘ie
--Money-of the minority, and-even if the
right .was “concedéd, how is the Reporter to discriminate against the Central Pacific Company, or how. are the
managers of that concern under some
other name tobe prevented from oltaining large subsidies and inzreased
power? This last break of the Re-{
porter is very shallow. Its managers
feel that its position is obnoxious to
the majority of its party, and it is compelled to:ease off on its position and resorts to this policy to do so. It may suc.
ceed in making its friends believe that
every.subsidy asked should be piven in
order to prevent property and money of
“the people from being taken away, but
such stuff will not go down with the
pedple-of the State.
