p AIN KILL E r

after a thorough trial by nnumerable living wit
nesses, has proved itself the Medicine Of the age.
1t is an internal and external remedy. One posi-
tive proof of its efBcacy is, that its sale has con-
stantly increased and wholly upon its own mer-
its. The effect OF the Pain Killer upon the pa
tcnt when taken internally, in case Of Cold
Cough, Bowel complaints, Cholera, Dy ysentery
and other affections of the system. has been truly
wonderful and has won for it a name among med
ical preparations that can never be forgotten.
Its success in removing pain, as an external rem
edy in cases of Burns, Bruises, Sor cs Sprain,
Cuts Stngs Of Insects, and other causes of suffer.
ing has secured for it such host Of testimony,
rs an infallabe remedy, that it will be banded
down to posteriy as one Of the greatest medical
discoveries Of the 18th century. Dec 4.

THE ALTA, PLACER, AND THE CEN.
TRA PACIFIC RAILROAD.

A friend sends us copy OF the .alta, lit not
being an exchange,) containing the following ed
itora note:
"When the Central Pacific Railroad Company
was poor and greatly in want OF funds six years
ago. it obtained a subscription of $3.50. 900 from
Placer county, which was then rich Now, the
Company being rich and the county comparative
ly poor. an editor ut Auburn wants to see Placer
pocket some OF the dividends. Arguing from
the published reports, he claims S5S7 500 as due
for dividend on past profits. and $500 900 as the
probable share oil next years earnings. AS the
property of the county has derived much benefit
from the cons structon of the road, and q consid-
cradle tax is collected from the road and its
lands, if all the money claimed were paid, Pla
Ger would make magnificent speculation out OF
her investment"
This note grew out o. an editorial art 'ce
which appeared in the HERALD of the 9Th ult,
which the writer in the Alta, we suppose never
saw, but only read an extract found in some ex
change. We only propose 10 notice the closing
lines Of the extract, as the writer seems to be
deficient in information on the subject treated.
AS a matter OF fact the property of the county
has never derived q dollars benefit from the con-
sruction OF the road this every man in the
county knows, and the Assessment Rolls from
year TO year corroborate the fact. One half Of
the land in the county was given TO the Compa-
ny and the price on the other half raised to
double the former amount, which precudes its
sale Or improvement. The supplies for the con-
sruction Of the road, in men. material and sus-
tenance were drawn from below, the east or
China, with the bare exception of ties, timber,
rock and earth, which The Company took from
the Government domain. The price of freights
have been kept at a figure that barely left wages
for the WOO chopper and lumber monulactu. er,
while the company took all the profits, including
stumpage. AS to taxes from The Company, it has
not paid on one dollars worth of property where
it has owned ten, and all the taxes ii has paid to
the County has not betrayed the expenses Of the
criminal litigation it has imposed on our people.
majority of our Supervisors have been owned,
ovcrawed or mentally overm ,tched by the Com.
pany so as to make them tools in the hands of
t he corporation for is profit and the County s
loss
Will the .4Ha tell US by what rule Of fellow
ship il would figure 20 show that Placer is rot
entitled to an equal share of the profits on con-
struction and dividends from operating this road
according to her proportonate Investment? Had
it been losing operation, this county would
have lost more than any other Stockhoder, be-
cause she had invested more, and since it has
been rich take" she is entitled to her full pro
rata Of the profits on construction and net earn
ings. Placer is titled TO more than our figures
S owed We know this the .Nta will know it
the Company appreciate it. and nothing but the
most shameless and damning rascaIty will pre-
vent her from getting it.

PREAcnERs AND CHINESE. - Wendell

Of Chinese civilization. A certain class of
preachers are much taken with the Chinese
character and habits, which we are at loss
to account for, except on the principle ha /
both are extremely fond Of chicken the
preacher generally begging or sponging to
CRAFTY bis appetite, while the Chinese John
takes the shorter mod and steals his chick

and the mode Of gratifying it being So near,
Iy alike (begging and steaing) that in the
absence Of other evidence must account for
the great love proclaimed for the mongol

VERY STRANGE The State Capital Re
porter, in speaking OF discussion between
the E'raminer and US on the national debt
question, said in effect that it bad 10 interest
in the discussion, and advised US TO turn our
batteries against the common enemy. This
sounds wonderful strange to us. The HER.
AID and Eroneioer had differed upon what
was the true construction Of the national
platform. The Reporter, Democratic pa
per, and whose chief editor was a delegate
TO the national convention and helped to
make the platform and yet lacked the cour.
age or disposition 10 decide between us, is
indeed too strange circumstance to pass
upnoiced The Democracy have no secrets to
keep from the public and ii the editor Of the
Reporter bad an opinion, the public, and es
peciay the party should have beard
from it. Democratic platforms are adopted
and agreed upon after thorough discus
sion, and when dis isagreemeut springs up,
the very men who were peseut and helped
to make the platform, should be the FIRST to
speak out.

Az ExpLAxArIoS.,-T The Sacramento
Union speaking of some complaints OF the
Bulletin that it was not fairly treated on
the cars Of the Central Psc fc Railroad,
makes a revelation extremely damaging TO
the Company, ard one that calls for
further and fuller explanation. 1t is but
proper that the present Legislature should
know in detail what Infamous measures the
Company, through ex Governor Stanford
sought to swipcle the people Of the State
by. We think we know what the sch eme
was, but the Union should, now that i, has
awakened intense interest 10 the matter all
over the State, tell the whole story. The
Union has said enough to demand the rails
ing of Legislative Committee Of inyssti-
CATION, and the hold over Senators owe il
to themselves to see that such committee
is raised. party that would attempt to
bribea newspaper conductor, probably reach
ed some Senators pocket and tried their
hand on others. Here is an extract from
the Unions article:
about two years ago, Governor Stan
ford, IN bshalf Of the railroad company,
made an in famous proposition to The pro.
prie'ors of the Union, the purport Of which
was that we should advocate or withhold op.
position to scheme to lie presented 10 the
Legislature for The benefit Of The company
and OF parties in interest with it, Of which
1t was proposed to make US participants
We rejected the offer and opposed the prof
ect when it was brought before the L-gisla-
ture From that time to this the Influence
OF the company has been used to annoy
and nJnre us in every possible way. They
have descended to means utterly contempt.
BILE, the last. and perhaps least injurious
from h ancial point Of view, being their
prohibition OF the sale Of the Union on the
cars. 1t we ire right as to the motive Of
this treatment, the reader will agree with
us that The company is ameDab!e to the
charge of being malignant and unscrupu-
Ious public enemy. The measure we were
solicited TO support, or at least not to OPP
pose, WAS one clearly against public policy
We could have prof ed in pecuniary way
by advocating it or neglectiug to notice it
AT all; but not without dlshonoriDy the
character OF independent journalism and as
sentlng 10 manifest wrong to the 81 ate
and people. Because we declined to assent
to This d,shonor, the Union is driven from
competition with other journals on their
cars and wherever the agents and employees
of the company bavs control Of such mat
ters.

LEGAL SUBDIVISIONS.

The Grass Valley Union is correct as TO
The probable advantages that would follow
a subdivision of the public lands in The min
ing districts in tracts Of ten acre lots. Now,
when we agree on this matter thus far, We
should not disagree abou, The mode or means
Of securing the object sought to be accom-
pIished. Without occupying much space
or going into an argument on the subject,
we will here say that Congress, the Secre
tary Of the Interior, nor the commissioner
Of the general land Office will ever sanction
plan for subdividing, plotting, selling and
palenting public lands that does not provide
for surveying by United States officers The
idea Of the Surveyor General being directed
to approve survey by this or that county
surveyor will not work. The establishment
of such policy will not and cannot be in
augurated. Even in the survey ing Of quartz
mines, ii can only be done by a regularly
appointed and commissioned United States
Deputy Surveyor. Any plan for the subdi-
viding Of the public land into ten acre lots
must be based on the work being done by
United States officers Now we are with
the Union this far, and if the Legislature
memoraizes Congress on the subject, let it
confne itself to asking for the subdivision
and the reasons for the application. and not
encumber the memorial with any absurd
suggestions about how and who is 10 do the
work.
We say this without any disposition for
unnecessary discussion but because we know
that the land system of the government
cam OF and will not he distuI bed in its mos,
important and material details.
