BURNING OF BAGdAGE-CAR ON THE MICHI-
GAN CENTRAL.-Detroit, Oct. 6.-The night Elk.
over the Central road, due here at seven in the
morning, did not reach here till noon, owing
to the destruction of the baggage car which
was discovered to be on fire near Oshtemo,
seven miles west of Kalamazoo. When dis
covered the flames were under too great head
way, and burned with great ferceness. The
entire car was consumed with all the contents
including every particle OF baggage, all the
mails, and the body of an unknown person,
put on at Chicago, and destined for some point
on the Jackson, Lansing and Saginaw railroad.
The fire had probably been smoudering some
time. A heap of quilts was stored In the front
part of the car, into which spark is supposed
TO have been blown, under the door.

our table sample Of the cheese produced at
the Factory Of the Company, which, in our
opinion, is quite equal to eastern cheese which
we have been accustomed to see on the shelves

that the Factory is producing results quite sat

Tie Arctic Expedition.

Captain Hall was to take his departure for
the North Pole, in the Polaris, on the new
Arctic expedition on Wednesday Ho was
compelled to refuse many applications to ac-
company him sent In by enthusiastic young
men and even women. Captain S. o. Bud
dington, and old and experienced whaling
master, from the village of Groton, opposite
New London, Connecticut. is to be the sail
ing master, and will carry with him, as assist
ants, officers who have for years buffeted the
storms of the long Arctic Winter. The crew
is to consist Of twelve seamen, besides two
cooks and the same number of stewards, and
four iremen. All the Sesmen are picked in
telligen: men, and it is said that there is no.
one of them who is not capable Of navigating
the ship himself. corps of scientific gentle
men also accompanies the expedition, consist
ing OF an astronomer, geographer and a me-
teorologist- Its said that DR.. Herman Bissell,
On eminent German naturalist and chemist, n
graduate of Heidelberg, and who was men,
Der of the recent Prussian expedition to the
North Pole, accompanies Capt. Halls expedi.
ton in the same capacity. There are to be
two engineers, Emil Schuman and John Viii
Bon, the former chief and Wilson the assist
ant. Two Esquimaux, Joe and his "cooney, I"
or wife, Hannah who have been with Captain
Hall number of years, and who have become
partially civilized and speak the English Ian
guage intelligibly, also go with the expedition,
the former as the interpreter, and the latter in
the capacity OF IA tailOress.

The People. Cali.

During the early part of this week we
noticed IA well written petition or memorial
that emanated from the citizens of Elko. and
was addressed 10 the President and Board If
Directors OF The Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany, at Sacramento. The petition called
upon that corporation for a Reduction of
freight to this town to as low a rate a, M anr
other point on the line of the road between
S,s Francisco and Ogden in proportion to the
nnnbsr OF miles in transis The memorial
was numerously signed by oar citizens and
forwarded TO Sacramento for the considera
ton of the Board of Directors of the Central
Pacific read 1t was couched in earnest but
respectful language, and recited statistics and
other important facts In relation to Elko as a
shipping point for freight, and the advantages
that would accrue to our citizens by proper
reduction in the rates of freight over the eum-
pany's road. 1t is hoped the company will
give the matter that attention which the i'm
portance of the subject certainly demands at
ITS hands. There undoubtedly must be great
mistake or oversight on the part of the CON-
pany in charging Elko higher rate for freight
than it does Toano and Kelton. The distance
iIoh Gan rrdbclsCO 10 loano Is ~ miles
greater, and Kelton 1874 miles greater, than TO
Elko, and still We have to pay IA much higher
tariff than do either of those towns BY this
unfavorable and unjust discrimination, Elko
has lost and is losing daily very much Of its
freiGhting business. To citizens who have
bought land from the company, and built
thereon substantial building, and settled down
for permanent home. and then not to receive
an equable showing at the hands of the Rail-
road Company, is assuredly neither right nor
just. Justice and equity. as well as the inter
est OF the company ITSELF imperatively demand
REIMBURSEMENT of the railroad tariff. We ask
no favors over any other point, but demand
from the company an equal show; and upon
that Elko is willing to stand or fall. We want
clean deck, Il fair deal, and no gouging.

-Adyertisinu Apents

The San Francisco Spirit OF the Times in a
| recent numbeS, contained an article calling the
attention OF the conductors ct the press to the
eourse pursued by advertising agents at the
East, In making contracts for papers. It says
the advertising agents at the East have grown
rich and are growing riche-by the squeezing
process which they apply to the newspaper
press. We have loug been convinced Of that
TACT. and 1t has been query with us why
they were allowed so to do. We have come
to the conclusion to refuse all advertisements
sent TO us where the parties are not TO our mind
responsible and also willing To pay fair and
remunerative price. Every week almost We
have numberless advertisements sent by diff
ferent parties from the East TO publish. at
prices o;tentimes no. sufficient 10 nav for
composition. If contractors wish their adyer-
| tisements published by us, they must pay fair
rates or stay away 1t is about time they
should understand that publishers do not
work merely that agents may grow rich by
their commissions even on low priced adver-
isements while publishers get hardly enough
10 pay Tor putting the same in type. Eastern
agents seem to run away with the idea that
the publishers in the Pacific States are willing
to publish anything and everything they may
forward them for the glory" of the thing
In this respect they labor under wrong i'm
preston. Publishers on the Pacific coast
PRIDE themselves on their papers, and don't
think 1t is necessary to do free work" for ad-
vertisers so that they may be enabled to fill up
large sheets to make an impression that they
are doing an extensive business, when by the

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES centralism, says
the New York Express, all true Democrats and
Nil true Republicans should stand as wall of
fire. We know from history the effect upon
old Rome when the autonomy Of the Roman
States was destroyed. We have seen more re-
Gently its effects in France. We behold how
Russia has struck Poland out OF existence,
even in the attempt to destroy the very Ian
guage of the people. We see how, right and
left, abroad, States are blottcd out by the
strong arm of centralized power. Are we quite
prepared to see our own country follow in the
footsteps Of Governments supported by bayo-
meta rather than public opinionf TO what
end have we a Constitutional Government,
oven in name, if the Supreme Court can be
tempered with, the States disowned, except
when their executive officers obey the DEGREES
of Federal power, and the habcas corpus sus.
pended upon the within and caprice Of Pres-
dent full of low prejudices nad petty animos-
ties, and all the worse since lie changed his
politics to secure Office.
