Saoramento one long aod chilly even-
lorlo tbe winter of 1863-'64 four lo-
dlrlduals were dlscas.lnir tbe feasibil-
ity ot oonitruotlnjf a railroad from tbe
Pacific Ocean to tbe Missouri Klrer.
I T&ough toe conception was not so dar-
Icfrastnater CJbrlsiopber (JOlumbus
it was more dlfliculiot execution. They
were men of tbousbt as welLand while
they bad an abiding faith that the
armies of the North would ultimately
overcome the armies of tbe Sjutb.they
bad discovered oonoluslva evidence
that nothloaT but rapid transit between
the two oceans would retain the Paol-
flo States la the American slstberhood.
Tbey resolved to lay a railway track
across tbe continent. And they came
to that resolution that winter's nlit ht.
Who were tbey? C. P. Huntington
Leland Stanford Charles Crocker
and Mark Hopkins each tbe comple-
ment of the other three Of Hunting-
ton though it may be ssld he wi-
the heart the brain aod tbe bead of
tbe enterprise. When Thome H.
Benton was pointing westward sal
sayloe "There is tbe way to th In-
dies" Huntington was a Connecticut
clock peddler; wben conree gave
corporate exUtence to tbe conception
and congress deemed it aa vWlonary
as the wildest scheme batcoed by the
craze known at tbe South Sea bubble
Huntington was a hardware mer-
chant In California. Now he was to
prove himself ooe of tbe greater ex
ecutives tbe world had ever produced.

Congress to the possibility of final
success; he it was who gained tbe
confidence of capital for the enterprise.
Stanford took charge of tne politics of
tbe Pacific Slope as it affected the
project; and la tbat he proved a genius.
Orocaer took cbsrge of tbe construct-
ion ot the Central Pacific; he carried
it across the Rocky Mountains and
tbe feat was as great as tbat of Han-
nibal as Macdonald's who carried
armies across tbe Alps. Hopkins kept
tbe accounts and be was as accurate
and as metbodlcal as the multiplica-
tion table.
They succeeded. The Missouri was
wedded to the Pacific. California was
sealed to tbe union of Commonwealths
and San Francisco was brought nearer
to New York than Charleston was to
Philadelphia when the Federal Consti-
tution was adopted... Success must al-
ways pay a penalty. Envy is pretty
nigh the butt cot of original Ism. Deaa
Swift tells us that the snpremest fell-
olty to which man la tbe flesh can at-
tain is to be a fool among knaves; your
knave among fools is another happy
the Apostle Panl carried the
Central Paclflo across tbe Sierra Ne-
vada fools and knaves wonld have
pursued him with detraotlon. Of
course Huntington acd his partners
made money; but there is no evidence
toat tbey made a cent ont of tbe gov-
ernment. It Is a poor oook tbat can't
lick bis Sogers according to Sanoho
Paozs and Huntington built the roads
for tbe purpose of making money. As
a gentrsl tblog tbat Is what railroads
are built for. But for the road across
tbe continent the city of Denver
would not be on the map: neither
wouid Ogdeo; neither would Cheyen-
ne. Omaba would be a village and
Salt L.ske City would be only a Mor-
mon settlement with polygamy yet in
tbe green tree. Colorado would be a
cattle ranch only and the gold aod
silver she bas poured into the channels
of commerce would yet be hidden in
her mountains.
The government has saved tbe pro-
ceeds of tbe subsidy bonds in tbe Item
of transportation alone aod saved it
ten times over in tbe pacification of In-
dian tribes. Numberless Indian wars
have been averted by reason of tbe de-
velopment of the wild and woolly
west msde possible by the operatloo
of the transcontinental roads.
Speaking of war thereby hanga a
tal
When Buchanan was president he
and Hrigham Young got into aquarrel.
But there was no formal declaration of
war. But there was a war and such a
war the annals of mankind contain no-
thing like from the time Cain slew
Abel. Tbe United States invading
army was commanded by AlbertSidoey
Johnstoa a Keotucklan born of Con-
necticut parents perhaps tbe premier
cavalier of our hemisphere the very
bau ideal of a soldier who lived like
Bayard and died like Claverbouse.
Tbe army endured great hardship on
tVe march from Leavenworth to Salt
Laa-e. The cost of moving' it was im-
mense. And when they got to Salt
Lake prepared to fight and eager to
fibt tbe only o.jposlng army to Fede-
ral forces found was a reglmect of
ro'vgaTous wive buxom rosy saucv
and eaoh bearing a tray of pies dough
nuts chicken egg milk butter and
potatoes which tbey sold to tbe entmy
at extravagant prices. Before tbe sub
set there was not a copper left ia
Johnston's army. We would have had
half a dozen Mormon wars by this time
but for the building of the Paci&o
roads but from the day tbat Schuyler
Colfax then Vice President of tbe
United States drove tbe golden ap ke
with the silver hammer and thus
married the Atlantic and the Pacific
polygamy was doomed .
C. P. Huntington never ceased until
he ran a train from ooean to ocean under
bis own management. He built the
Chesapeake and Ohio; Newport News
owes him as muob as Denver owes him.
West Virginia Is as deeply in his debt
as Colorado and old Virginia found ia
him as much of a benefactor as Utah
did. He was a railroad bailder tbe
greatest in tbe world not a railroad
wrecker. He developed a country
rather than skinned it. In Kentucky
In Louisiana in Mississippi In Texas
ia New Mexico and In Arizona are
monuments to his genius as well as ia
tbe Virginias ia Nebraska ia Kansas
la Colorado In Utah la Nevada and
In California.
Huntington was what the great
Montmorency wonld have been had
that gigantic personality been born aa
American citizen. He did for our
government what Cllve and Hastings
did for the British crown brought
states under Its dominion. When I
hear men reproach him for getting
rich I am reminded of what Cllve said
to the committee of the Commons that
investigated his crime of adding aa
empire to tbe British dominions: "Mr.
Chairman when I contemplate my
opportunities at this moment I stand
astonished at my own moderation!"
Clive got very rich. There was some-
thing ot the great English proconsul
in Huntington's anwer to Senator
Morgan "I spent upward of $2000000
teaching congress how to do its busi-
ness." Tbe Paoific roads did not realize the
dream of Benton which was to pour
the trade of India into tbe lap of San
Francisco and make tbat the most
opulent city on tbe globe as it had
made every other city that possessed it
from Babylon and Palmyra to Antwerp
and London. But the Pacific roads
developed an empire and populated it
with teeming millions of the foremost
race on earth. As a public benefactor
Huntington ranks . with Whitney
McCormlok and Edison. Washington
Post.
