lied the appointments into system
to control the American people.
The speaker then went into telling
expose of the system of appointments
under the Federal Government. He
said that this would only cease with
"a great uprising of the people for the
people,"
Our institutions are overshadowed
by great danger. We are confronted
by the great danger of the
Government in all its depart
ments being controlled by great enter
prises, gigantic corporations and cor
rupt monopolies, for their own inter-
est and not the public good. The
charge that am hostile to the rights
of property is not true. There never
was baser slander or a greater UNI
truth.
Twelve years ago two companies
were started to build railroads between
the Mississippi and the Pacific Ocean.
This was received with great joy, be-
ing hailed as a new link between the
Atlantic and Pacific. Without the
expenditure of q dollar of their own,
the transcontinental railroad owns
nearly all the important lands in Cal
ifornia, and the steamship lines from
San Francisco to New York and Chi
ma. Their tracts of land equal an en-
pire greater than France. From
plain reading of the law giving the
original right, it was supposed that
when the company earned any money
they would pay the interest. Techni-
cally construed, the Courts say the
interest cannot be collected before the
bonds become due. The earnings of
these roads last year were $l7,000,O00,
yet they failed to pay their an
nual interest, which now amounts
about to $l9,OOO,O0O. 1t was
supposed that they would have to
provide sinking fund, but no court
has been able to compel them to pay
| one dollar, and the Government will
be left to pay interest and principal to
the amount of over one hundred mil
lions. 1t was supposed that they
would be liable to pay local, county,
and State taxes, but it has been as
certained that they pay tax only on
| 700, 900 acres, or one fOrtieth of their
immense domain. Verify these cor
pOraClOnS nave Ueeu IldkluS law
unto themselves higher than the SOW
ereignty of the nation.
The speaker then announced the
following as the mission of the Inde-
pendent party:
1st. To make the American citizen
a free man, independent personally.
End. To establish local good gov
ernment, as on this depends our real
national prosperity.
Lastly. Desire to establish the prin-
ciple that no individual is so humble
as to be beneath the law, no corpora
tion so powerful as to be above it.
The speaker closed with an eloquent
peroration for the success of the Peo-
ple's Independent movement. He
said ait would come in beauty like
the morning, in power as the spirit of
the Lord"
The President then introduced Mr..
Bromley, who made ashort and pleas
ant address, after which the meeting
adjourned.

The Recent Fire.

EDITOR HERALD: Allow me to
make a few corrections in your ac-
count of the fire yesterday. The
boarding house was not owned by
Stack, but by me. Mr.. Stack only
rented few rooms ON the ground
floor. Although the fire was quickly
quenched, considerable damage was
done, as ] lost in bedroom furniture
and bedding about $500. In regard to
the fire being held in check by the
depot hose, prior to the arrival of the
fire department, I beg to state that
the fire might have been subdued
without its catching the roof of the
building at all, if the watchman at
the depot had not positively refused to
give up the wrench for connecting the
hose with the hydrant, thereby caus-
ing the loss of valuable time. Great
praise is due both fire companies for
their promptness of arrival and for the
efficiency of their services.
Yours Respectfully,
GEORGE r. STANSFIELD.

Colonel Warner Explains.

EDITOR HERALD: Will you permit
me to say, through your columns, in
reply to what l find in your issue Of
yesterday morning, from the San Die
go World, in reference to my CONVEX
sion, that instead of getting into or
aiming to enter the Republican fold,
my attachment to the Independent
party and to its principles and its
aims, is too strong and unwavering
to permit me to sustain and vote for a
man of whom l have, to me, convinc-
ing testimony that he is not as we'll
disposed to further the most impor-
tant interest of his independent con-
stituents as is Mr.. Houghton, simply
because he is the ostensible nominee
of the party which / am anxious to
see obtain the victory at the coming
election. J.J. WARNER.

We find the following in the Ana
helm Gazette:
Mr.. Horace Young of Westminster,
cousin of Rev. Robt. Strong of that
place, became deranged some time
during the past week, and Is now in
dangerous condition. His derange-
ment is attributed to bathing in cold
water while over-heated. He is at
tended by DIR. Howe of Florence, and
DIR. Mccoy of Westminster.
The candidate for County Treasurer,
Mr.. Rowan, an extremely genial and
pleasant gentleman, made very
good impression on the people here
for the short time he was with us.
Mr.. Temple, his opponent, has also
been here, and seems confident of sue
cess. The people here regard it in
about the light that Mr.. Temple be-
ing millionaire, does not need the
office. Mr.. Rowan being a compare
lively poor young man-always faith
full i'm the performance of his official
duties-his accounts always straight
the money always ready when requir-
ed-they cannot see the necessity or
the reason why they should discharge
an honest, capable employee for
strange one they know not of. He
will poll full party vote, and with
proper effort can get a large proper
ton of the Independent and Repub-
lican vote. He is, and considers him
self to be, truly servant of the peo-
pie and not master, as so many pub
lie officials consider themselves to be.
The Committee of Ladies of the
Presbyterian festival desire to express
their appreciation of DR.. Lucky,s kind
ness in granting them the lease of the
school.grounds on Tuesday last. Also,
to return their sincere thanks to Profs.
Havell and Arevalo and the amateur
musicians of the city, who contribut-
ed so largely to the success of the en-
tertainment, and to Messrs. Dotter &
Bradley, Dunsmoor Bros. and Samuel
Meyer for kindness rendered.

AS the visit of the Crocker-Hunting-
ton party to San Diego has provoked
much comment, the following from
the San Diego World may help to ex-
plain:
Mr.. Huntington, Mr.. Croker and
other gentlemen of the Southern Pa
cific Railroad were here yesterday,
but remained only for short time.
Mr.. Horton, Mr.. Sherman and Mr..
Higgins showed them round, and we
understand that they were pleased
with things seen by them here. We
are glad that Mr.. Horton was polite to
them. 1t is more than less interested
parties would be; and we are glad, too,
that it is likely they will run one end
of their monopoly into this place. We
need it, even with its high charges,
and we have felt sure we would get it
after while. But that by no means
interferes with the other road. That,
too, will be built, unless there is very
marked bad faith on the part of those
having it in hand. Let as many come
as will. The more the better. We
believe the gentleman spoke favora-
bly, of line to this point, but moth
ing will be done until we hear fur
ther, in say amonth or SO.

a speech, 10 which be attacked NJ. Rouher and
dwelt upon the necessity of arresting the pro-
gress of Bonapartism. NJ. Buffet said the
country was threatened by both Revolutionists
and Bonapartists, but the Government would
keep watcbful eye upon them. NJ. Dutaure
said the Government would display vigilance
10 regard to the Bonapartists, and that he
would not remain the member of any govern
ment which neglected that duty. NJ. Gambetta
and other members of the Left replied in a
violent strain, and for time there was much
confusion. Aresolution was finally passed, by a
vote of 4S3 to 8, stating that the Assembly,
confndng in the Governments declarations,
passed to the order of the day. The Left abb
stained from voting.

been local in character, extending but little be
yond Washington, caused an accident on the
railroad, near Bladensburg, by which the tracks
We're blocked, compelling the passengers on the
night train for the North to be sent back to
Washington. The New York express train
which left Washington at g.: Is p. m., was thrown
from the track by cross-tie drifting on the
track. Only one man was slightly injured. The
engine was thrown entirely from the track, and
the baggage and one passenger car turned over
on their side. The sleeper remained on the
track. 10 Baltimore there was also heavy
rain and some damage by bursting culverts, TO-
adequate sewers and overfowed premises. The
rain lasted from 7:45 p. N. to nearly midnight,
and the rainfall was over q inches.

The July returns to the Department of Agri-
culture, at Washington, show an improvem ent

Of the cotton area were afflicted with drought
which, however, was less Injurious to cotton
than other crops. 10 Texas, cut worms, cotton
caterpillars and grasshoppers were Injurious in

mention cotton lice, bu. insect depredatons, 80

worth mentioning.
