The motive which prompts the effort is
not mere idle curiosity or meaningless
ambition to reach point never before
visited by man, but desire to give to
the scientific world the Information
which such a voyage, if successful, must
bring. While the knowledge to be thus
obtained is not susceptible Of CONNER

the world and its effect upon the re-
searches and conclusions in regard to
physical laws relating to the whole
globe, its value will be almost incon-
ceivable. The two vessels, the Alert and
the Discovery, are well fitted for the
work. They are small and rigged ex.
actly as if for whaling voyage, but have
been strengthened by extra planking on
the outside and by heavy iron plating on
the bows. Coal and provisions of the
best quality and suitable clothing have
been stored away IN the vessels in sufi-
cient quantities to last three years, il

which will carry provisions and accou-

The Struggle Of the Giants.

five may credit the Geographic dis
patches the object of the Southern Pa
cific Railroad managers in fighting
Tom SCoTT's Texas Pacific Railroad
bill, is not SO much for the purpose of
defeating that bill as to, secure for
themselves like subsidy on this side
of the continent. They claim that the
Southern Pacific Road is entitled to,
and should receive the like Govern
ment aid that may be extended to the
Texas Pacific. So far as the people of
Southern California are concerned
they have no objection to division of
the aid between the two companies.
Such an arrangement would prove ad-
vantageous to us as it would hasten
the completion of a Southern overland
road. If the Government allowed
each company SO many thousand dol
lars for each mile of road built we
should witness another struggle SINH
lar to that in which the Central Pa
cific and Union Pacific companies
were engaged for months before the
completion of their roads. The road
would stretch Eastward and West
ward so rapidly that in an incredible
short time the connection would be
made. But there is danger that the
plan of action adopted by the South
ern Pacific managers now in Wash
ington viii defeat both SCOTT and
The sentiment of Con-
gress is so decidedly against subsidiz-
ing any road in which the Central Pa
ciiic managers, who are also the
Southern Pacific managers, are con-
cerned, that rather than divide with
them and ScoTr nothing will be given
to either. The chance for assistance
to the Texas Pacific would have been
a great deal better had the Southern
Pacific people remained away from

To WorkIngmen that Think.

An anxious inquirer in the New
York Tribune gives the following hint
to "workingmen that Think"
Does the me, chant when trade is dull
say he will not sell his wares except
at good-times profit? No; he adver-
tises and marks his goods down at cost,
or even less, so they will sell, knowing
this is better for the time being than
to do nothing. On the same principle,
would it not be better for all classes of
persons who work for daily wages to
offer their services for much less than
they have been receiving, to encourage
some one to employ them? think If
the different trades in the large cities
would hold mass meetings and decide
to say to capital that they are willing
to labor for one-half or two-thirds of
the pay they receive in good times,
and keep faith with capital, it would
not be long before all would have work
and the workman's labor and the
merchants wares would bring good
profit. would ask, is this not a better
and quicker way to secure good times?
In the meantime they will receive
half loaf which / have always found
better than none.

BILE; 100000 has the metallic ring.
San Bernardino county has too much
at stake to remain silent in this, con-
test. The road will benefit that county
as much as much as it will this or In
20. It lays between US and the great
mining region which is to draw sup
plies from this side Of the mountain,
and San Bernardino being nearest the
market, will have relatively that
much the advantage of this county,
provided they enter into the enterprise
with US. But if they should refuse to
take a hand now, and throw the entire
burden 1ofsbuilding the road on Los
Angeles and Inyo counties, they must
see that it will be greatly to their dis
advantage in the end. Freight or
passage to Salt Lake from San Fran
cisco or New York is about the same
as it is from New York to San Fran
cisco. This would not be the case, if
Salt Lake had third interest in the
transcontinental railroad, The Nor
mon prophet would, in that case, hold
the balance of power and could pro-
tect the interests of his people. Such
protection would add twenty pei
cent. to the value Of the property OF
that territory. We have cursed and

every section to protect its future in
terests. We have greatly over .esti-
mated the shrewd business tact of the
people Of San Bernardino, If they dc
not have large interest in this road
There are many reasons why they

CONGRESSMAN LUTTRELL is about
to make move which will check, If
it does not checkmate, the Southern
Pacifc Compahy's game to change the
route Of their road so that it will run
through the Cajon Pass. He will in
troduce a bill to repeal the present
land grant to the Southern Pacific
Railroad, and place the land again in
the market for the benefit Of settlers.
This is a heavy stroke on the railroad
company, and, should the bill pass,
will no doubt retard railroad building
in this part of the State. However, if
this is the only means by which a
change Of the route can be prevented
Los Angeles will offer no aobjectior
