The Depot Again.

We are informed that few indi-
viduals are making strenuous efforts
to induce the Council to consent that
the railroad depot shall remain where
it now is for an indefinite time. We
have no doubt but that if this point is
gained it will ultimately result in Sc
rious damage to the city and we would
suggest to the members of the Coun-
Gil the Importance of acting carefully
and advisedly in the matter. 1t Is
worth while to remember that spe-
citic contract has been entered into
by the Council and the railroad COM
pany and on the conditions of this
contract $4,000 worth of city bonds
were surrendered to the railroad man.
ayers. The conditions on which these
bonds were surrendered were that the
railroad company should erect depot
buildings on the ground, designated
by the city, within given time. If
this contract is carried out the city
will have the depot permanently To-
Gated and the question definitely
settled. If it is broken up the object
In surrendering the bonds will not be
obtained and the company released
from its agreement to build the depot
in the city. Having the bonds and

they Will, when the times suits their
convenience to do SO, locate the depot
on the east side of the river, thus leav-
ing the city out in the cold, shorten
the track of the Southern Pacific road
one mile, and, no doubt, realize a
handsome thing by greatly enhancing
the value of property on the east side
of the river. These are facts which
interest the citizens of this city and it
behooves Councilmen to examine be-
fore they aid in carrying out scheme
which, If successful, will work seri-
Gus Inconvenience to the city proper.
It is clear to the minds of all that the
depot cannot long remain where it now

IT is a significant fact that our little
friend AARON A. SARGENT, of Quaker
Hill, Nevada county, is opposed to
any and all propositions for investi-
eating any of the subsidy schemes by
which the people have been robbed
out of millions of dollars. Any allu-
sion in the Senate to the proposed in
vestigation of the Pacific Mail and
Central Pacific Railroad affects
AARON as a red rag does Spanish
bull. He does not want any investi-
CATION and he attempts to defeat every
thing looking that way. AARoN's
hands are not clean. He is a sharp
little financier, and has no doubt

went into the Senate. He jobs out

SUPERINTENDENT HEWITT calls our
attention to the fact that the people of
Los Angeles valley cannot save $780,
600 per annum on freight by building
another road between this city and
the water for the reason that freight
charges received by the L. A. & w.
Railroad Company do not exceed that
sum per annum. This is a strong ar
gument, and we do not see our way
clear in the way of maintaining the
correctness of our figures, though they
were furnished us by prominent and
well-informed citizen. 1t would be a
difficult thing to save more than We
expend. 1t is, however, certain that
if we had another road we should not
have to pay nineteen cents per ton per
mile on our freight, and what less we
could get it done for would be so much
saved. This, we think, we will be able
to stand by. n a orsr

indian DepredatI0ns.

TUCSON, December 27th.-The Citi-
zen publishes letter from Agent JEFF
fards, at Chiricahua Reservation, rel
ative to the recent thefts committed.
They are attributed to Cachise's
Apaches. The letter, taken with othor
reliable information, shows that over
sixty Apaches always lived in Sonora,
and they have never been on the Chi
racahua Reservation. Most of the
depredations committed in the Mexi-
can territory have been done by these
Sonora Apaches. The recent depreda-
tions in this Territory are believed to
have been done by the same Indians.
tits claimed that strange Indians were
seen on the reservation prior to theft.
Should these statements prove true,
Mexico has been deprecated upon
by her own Apaches and no
blame can rest on this Government
for harboring raiding Apaches on her
border

A CHARTER election recently took
place in Worcester, Mass, at which a

the wife securing two votes to the hus-

no domestic trouble had arisen from

Accident at Stockton.

STOCKTON, December 26th.-A most
serious and perhaps fatal accident oc-
Cured to-day in Mr.. Van Wears gum

by the careless handling of pistol by

pistol being discharged while in his
hands, and the ball entering the right
lung of VIM. Bateman, who was sit
ting few feet away. The shooting
was purely accidental. Mr.. Bateman

The shooting is reported to have been

This proposition is supported by the
argument that free Cuba involves the

For some time q band of loud-mouthed
demagogues have been attempting to intro
duce among the workingmen of America the
favorite tactics of the worst class of European
socialists. These men have abused the
liberty of speech and discussion wisely al
lowed by the laws of their country,
and have persistently directed their efforts
towards creating disorder. If they have been
so far unsuccessful we are indebted to the
strong common sense of our workingmen and
their respect for the rights of their fellow citi-
zens. Only the silliest or most depraved of the
workingmen can hope for advantage from the
agitation which a few designing men are trying
to excite for their own profit under the pre-
tence of benefting the working classes. The
misery which exists among the poor in a
crowded city like New York is we'll nigh un-
avoidablc and is due to some extent as much
to the want of foresight and unthrift of the
poorer classes as to any unfair action of capi-
tai. The inequalities of condition cannot
be removed by declamations against the
wealthy; but the empty words of dema-
gogues may arouse feeling Of antagonsm
between mutually dependent classes of the
community which might lead to conse-
quences from which the workingman
would be the first to suffer. So long
as the emulators of European socialism
confine themselves to airing unwholesome
opinions we would not have them interfered
with, much as we regret their want of common
sense; but when the admirers of the extreme
red republic undertake to threaten the civil
representatives Of the people and i'm
pose by violence their will as law in
the councils of the city, we at once
pronounce for their speedy and condign
punishment Such conduct may have some
excuse in countries where the working classes
are ground down by unjust governments and
privileged classes; but here no such justifca-
ton can be set up. The workingman
in New York enjoys his full share
Of the government Of his country; he
shares in its prosperity, and when season of
difficulty arrives he must be prepared to bear
patiently the suferings incidental to hard
times. The use of threatening language
is certainly not calculated to serve
the cause of the unemployed No
honest workingman would associate
himself in riotous effort to coerce the
city authorities into yielding to demands
which are sustained neither by law nor by
justice. If any foolish men should allow
|. themselves to be ureed to the COM
