The Southwestern System and the Enormous Extent of Territory Covered, Watered Stock and its Value—Labor and Capital Should Lie Down © Togeth New Yonk, September 21, Blairand Call waited pationtly for Gould to appear before them this morn- &L to testify as to the relations of capi- L and labor. A large audience was in attendance. As Gould delayed his ap- yflmncu the committee heard statements rom Geo. W. Weston, a lawyer of this city, who appeared in opposition to the ry of Henry George and Moody. Just as the witness was beginning the testimony Gould entered. Weston merely stated the tendency to monopo- lize the land. Gould then took the stand and being “worii, Senator Blair requested him to ive the history of his early life and first usiness adventures, and then go on and give tho story of his progress to the pres. ent time. Gould seemed to be somewhat staggerod at the roquest, but turning with a smile toward the reporters h be- gan in a low voice: “Iwas born at Baxbury, Delaware county, this state, May 27, 1836, My parents had a small farm and kept twenty cows, which I assisted tending, [ attend- ed school about fifteen miles distant, and when I was about fourteen years old ob- tained a situation in a neighboring vil- lage. I was interested in mathematics; wouldget upat 3o’clock inthemorning and study to six, when the store was opened. I remained in the state for two years when I made the acquaintance of a sur- veyor who was making a survey in Ulster county, He took me into his service at a salary of $20 a month. I learned my employer's credit was not very geod and 1 was to obtain no noney for my work until it was complete, so I made sun dials for farmers at one dollar a piece to pay my running expenses. 1 made sur- woys afterwards of Delawaro and Albany nties and made in the contracts about Ithen went into tanning with a ratt, of Prattville, and finally en- red into partnership with Chas, M. Lupp, who committed suicide. The first railroad with which I had any connection was what is now a portion of the Rensalaer & Saratoga. During the panic of 1859 stock went down very low d I yas ablo to buy in a largo amount - v arwiWarde wuou 1n Value and made o handsome profit. The next road in which Gould was intcrested was the Cloveland and Pittsburg, whioh e aiterwards leased to tho Pennsylvania #oad. Gould then rehearsed over his connection with the Union Pacific road, he had interested himself in it and was falling. He made up his mind 1?' it through at any cost. It was tho point of being placed in the hands of the receiver. Aftorwards when the road became a paying one and dividends were declared regularly, there was a great cry from the public that it was Jay Gould’s road, asif this was a dangerous thing, He said, however, he was thenengaged in selling out his stock, which was soonin the hands of more than 7,000 investers, representing the earn- ings of many widows and orphans, This ended his connection with the Union Pa- cific and the atock is now higher than he sold it. The next venture was the build- ing up of the Gould railroad system in the southand west. Itbegan with tho purchase of the Missouri Pacific from Commodore Garrison. Other roads were purchased and connections made to the different points. Gould said he had at this time passed the point where money making was an object and his only idea was in carrying out the system to merely see what could be done by a com- bination of the lines now spread through Ohio, 1linois, Indiana Michigan, Missouri, Arkansas, Indian Territory, Texas, Louisiana and Mexico, There are central connections at Cincin- nati, St. Louis, Chicago and New Or- leans. All construction of this system of roads was completed last year, and rep- resented about ten thousand miles of road. The earnings of the lines when he took possession of them was about seven- y thousand dollars a month, ding up this spstem the south- ‘west was opened up and thrown open to civilization, Mr, Gould said he had started the American Union as a rival to the Western Union, but found it ceuld not be done, owing_ to the latter's con- nections. He then bought a controlling interest in the Western Union, Regard- ing the prospect of the government insti- tuting the postal telegraph system, wit- ness said the idea was opposed to Amei- can institutions. He nmkl the telegraph business, more than any other, had to be managed by experts, and the Western Union only succeeded in earning dividends by doing business well Under the government system the man- ement would be subject to great :%angu, Mr. Gould also thought the mail services would be better onplish- ed by private enterprise. He would not object to the government taking hold gf the telegraphsystem of Western Unioh, srovided it weuld pay what it was worth, ut in hls opinion it would notbe a suc- . Uniform tariffscould besecured under private enterprise, us well under govern- ment supervision and the Western Union's policy tended to accomplish this. My.

He thought the gov ernment had no right to fix a limit to which the profits of & company could go, #0 long as the rates were not unreasona- ble, and had no right te take away pri yate property without just compensation, Mr, Gould said the Western Union paid its employes better than any other company.

ALL HANDS 'ROUND. A Mory Night al'Porl Robinson Among the Giris and Boys They Danced All Daylight at Night il Broad the Bidding of Company C. Fr. Remssos, New, September 1, 1888.—A ploasing break in the monotony of garrison life in the quarters was the ball given hero last evoning by the mom- bers of Co. C., Fourth Infantry to Co. M., Fifth Infantry, which is generally conceeded to have been ono of the most successful and satisfactory ovonts of the kind which has over taken place at Fort Robinson. Last Octcber when Captain Coate’s company arrived at this post after a weary march from Siduey, 180 miles distant, they found a smoking hot supper and a gonial welcome from company M, which was gratofully appreciated and warmly ro- mombored by the men. A combination of circumatances have provented company O from earlier reciprocating the atten- tions then shown thew, but for several woeks past preparations have been in progress for & return of hospitalities which culminatod last night in a soldier's ball that would have done credit to many a large town in our stato, whero greater conveniences -are available than can be found at any frontier post. Invitations were extended to all the companies present and to the officers and their families. The dancing hall, a rough slab structure with canvas roof, which stands in tho rear of company M's quar: tors, was nioely decorated with flags, while two wall tents in the 'rear furnished accommodations for dressing rooms and the preparation of lemonade. Shortly after tatoo the company began to assemble, and by taps the orchestra had struck up the opening march and the floor was well filled with dancers. The capacity of Fort Robin- §on, in turning out lady partners, was well teated. The wives mus daughters of et 1l gl Rl T contj m laundry row, made the gathering anything but the stag party that might have been ex pected. At the upper end of the hall, Col, Carpentor and his officers with their wives were interested spectators, and en- joyed thoroughly the morry scone. The uniforms of the men, the yellow trim- mings of the cavalry companics mingling with the navy blue of the infantry, the colors of theladies’ dresses, many of which were very neat and tasty, the evident abandon and satisfaction with which all oentered into the apirit of the hour, made the occasion one that will belong remem- bercd by those who took part. Supper was spread in thadining room of company C's quarters. Two long tables extended down the length of the room, with ac- commodations for 100 guests. Much taste was displayed in the decoration of the supper room, and the bill of fare was quite efaborate, while the sup- jer was universally pronounced to ho sntisfactory in every respect. Danc- ing was continued, by permission of the comanding officer, until early in the morning, and the guests departed with many congratulations to Co.
