A Cool Proposition.

Under the name of the American
District Telegraph Company, the
Western Union Telegraph Company
are scheming to obtain possession of
the fire alarm and police telegraph
wires of San Francisco. They have
proposition now before the Board of
Supervisors to take charge of and
manage the wires at the same ex-
pense they now cost the city. 1t is
not probable that the city's wire
would be any better, and perhaps no
worse, managed, under the proposed
new arrangement, than they are now;
but the Western Union would secure
the use of q network of wires through
out the city, for which they would
pay nothing, and for the expense of
keeping in order of which the city
would pay. To give these wires over
W uiic UcsJtrn UNION WouId be q
manifest injustice to other telegraph
companies and would be giving aid
and comfort to monopoly which has
always regarded fair competition as
trespasslng on its own self-arrogated
rights and treated it as an enemy, to
destroy which any means, no matter
how reprehensible, was admissible.
Ii San Francisco desires to let the use
of her fire-alarm wires to private
corporation, it is but justice to the
Taxpayers who have paid for those
wires and are taxed to keep them in
repair, that they should be leased to
the company which will maintain
their present usefulness at the least
expense to the city. 1t is probable
that the Atlantic and Pacific Tele-
graph Company would take charge of
the city's wires on terms more advan-
tageous to the Taxpayers than are
offered by the American District
Western Union Telegraph Company.

has been even greater than at first re-
ported. The damage will exceed one
million dollars. This to town of the
size and population of MarysvilIe is
very heavy. Many families have lost
all and at last accounts the women
and children were suffering from ex-
posure and hunger. Sacramento was
doing all that could be done in sending
forward relief. The Odd Fellows, Red
Men, the Howard Association and the

The Grange Speaks.

The resolutions adopted by Los An
geles Grange and published in the
HERALD of last Sunday morning,
denunciatory OF those members of the
State Board of Education who voted
to change the text books of our public
schools, deserve more than a passing
notice. They are written in straight
forward, unmistakable English, and
express unqualified condemnation of
an act which cannot be sustained by
any species of argument. Los Angeles
Grange does not hesitate to say that
the vote of the majority of the Board
was procured through money infiu-
ence. OF the correctness of this as
sumption we do not express an opin-
ion, but we have no doubt it is shared
by State Superintendent BoLANDER
and the other members of the Board
who with him comprised the minority.
The published statement of Mr.. BAN
CROFT that he will exchange his books
for those now in use without extra
cost, is intended to deceive the people
lis, In fact, a falsehood by implica-
ton. He would make the exchange
II the old books were presented at his
house, but the thousand and one small
dealers who will supply the greater
portion of the new books will not
make the exchange, and no one more
thoroughly understands that they will
not than Mr.. BANCROFT. He will sell
his books to the retail dealers and
they will sell them to the people. If
this Is all the argument he is able to
offer in support of his scheme for fore
ing tribute from the masses for his
support, he would have made a stronger
case by remaining silent. The change
OF books is an outrage-no milder or
less emphatic term will express it
and 1t is the duty of every Grange in
the State and OF the people generally
to elect men to the Legislature who
will make it their first act to epeal
the law under which this infamous
bargain and sale was consummated.
The Legislature will be in session one
month before Mr.. BANCROFT will
begin to realize from his speculation.
The people have it In their power to
defeat this attempt to rob them, and
they should do it so effectually that q
similar attempt will never be made.

A Plain Statement Of Facts.

The telegraph informs us that the
objection of the people of Los Angeles
to the proposed change of the route OF
the Southern Pacific Railroad as set
forth i'm HoUaHToN's bill, is not fully
understood in Washington. Our Rep
resentatives in Congress = some OF
whom are our friends and some our en-
emies-need not be long in doubt as to
the grounds on which these objections
are based. The committee appointed
by the Chamber of Commerce-R nj.
WIpNEy, H. D. BARRows and ISAAC
w. LoRD-have prepared and pub
lished in pamphlet form all the facts
bearing on the case. Copies of this
document have been forwarded to Sen
ator JONES and Congressman LUT-
TRELL and HoUGHToN. 1t opens
with clear and concise summary OF
all the facts, which is signed by the
Chamber of Commerce and the COM
mittee. Then follows the contract
between the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company and Los Angeles county, IN
which for and in consideration of a
specified subsidy, which has been
voted, the company bound themselves
to do the very thing which they are
now trying to avoid doing; that is,run
the main track of the Southern Pacific
Road through this city. In this docu-
1nan4 10Y pieuge, pronIiso end con-
dition agreed upon by the parties OF
the first and second part is clearly set
forth and to it the proper signatures
are appended. Then follows a number
of ordinances on which the voters OF
this city assigned the company the
stock held by the city in the Los An
geles and San Pedro Railroad Compa-
ny, on condition that the company
fulfill the requirements of the above
mentioned contract. To this is APP
pended the pamphlet of Colonel HYDE,
the agent of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company, in which, in consider
alton of the subsidy stated in the
above mentioned contract and after
ward voted, he binds the company to
definitely and irrevokeably fix the
trunk line of the road through the
city and county Of Los Angeles. II
our delegation in Congress will read
this document they will have no diff
Guilty in understanding the grounds
on which the people of Los Angeles
object to the passage of HouaHToN's
bill. A glance through its pages
might refresh the memory of Messrs'
COTTON and HUNTINGTON, both Of
whom seem to have forgotten that
they have placed on record certain
pledges from the redemption of which
even the power Of Congress cannot ab.
solve them.

slight Injury by the Rains-GOoh Crop
Prospects.

STOCKTON, January 22d. = The
weather to-day has been very unset
tied, it raining heavily the greater
portion of the day and this evening.
1t has now ceased raining. The water
in the sloughs in the vicinity of the
city, and in th~a~ -.--i-e .i-".eh
the city is fast receding. The late
heavy rains have done but little dam
age in this county. On the West side
Of the San Joaquin the best spirits
though the rain came late, the pros
poets for crops above the average yield
are excellent. The reports that crops
OH the West side of the river, owing to
the lack of rain, were total failure,
are denied, and good crops are now
looked for. A band of sheep on Venus
Island was drowned by the high
water.
