New YORK, April oath. The settle
ment of the questions In regard to
freight and passenger fares pending
between the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company and the Panama Railroad
Company was reached yesterday. By
the new contract it is agreed on the
part of the Pacific Mail Company to
guarantee to the Panama Railroad
$4,000 per month of through freight,
which is an increase of about $1,S05
over the amount received by that road
last year. 1t is also agreed that the
road shall have the same number of
passengers guaranteed to it as it had
last year, during which time the fares
amounted to about one hundred thou
sand dollars. By another clause in
the contract the railroad is to have
one-third of the freights received from
the Panama trade, which has devel-.
oped largely during the last few years,
the roads share of which will be about
one hundred thousand dollars. The
steamship company have further
agreed that all coal sent from New
York to Panama, to be used by their
vessels, shall be sent by railroad and
be paid for at the rate of $5 So per ton.
Local rates for South America and
Central America are to be provided as
before. The contract will be tempo
rary in it's character and subject to
change or abrogation by either party
after giving thirty days notice.

A Plea for Women.

That irrepressible "Ludus" is on our
track again about the women. We
have several objections to entering
into controversy on this subject.
Nobody knows who Ludusn is, or
whether he or she wears boots or Grim
oline. We never had controversy
with woman that we did not have to
beg off in order to get her. to stop it.
We do not Know what " Ludus !"
wants. He or she is not satisfied that
woman suffrage would he desirable,
which is the only point in controversy
on that subjectin theUnited States. 1t
is true we were taken to task for saying
we did not believe women would make
good editors, and we stick to it. If
'Ludus', can convince us that we are
wrong, we will gladly acknowledge
the error. What "Ludus'' says about
the treatment of the poor women in
Asia, Africa and Holland may be COR
rect, but We can't help it. IF we had
our way, we would fog all the old he
fellows in those nations until they
would treat their. women better. But
what could we do if we were to start OH
mission of that kind. We would only
get ourselves into trouble and might
be badly whipped before we got
through. AS for the "noble red man
of America" we have done all we
could to beat some sense into his head
by employing such men as General
CROOK. If they don't improve very
soon, we propose to turn them all over
to PHIL. SHERIDAN, and let him ex-
terminate the race. The allus-
ion to the Mormons was un-
fortunate for " Ludus.u There are
three or four women to one man
there and if they can't lookout for
themselves with this odds in their fa-
vor, they are not competent to take
charge Of Government affairs any
where, besides it was their own choice
to go there, and they are at liberty to
leave when they please. AS to the
case Of Adam, there never was man
who made SO great sacrifice as he
did. He saw that Ewes curiosity had
brought destruction upon her, and
that final separation was inevitable
unless he ate apart of the same fruit,
and rather than be separated he ate
part of the same fruit that he
might share her fate and remain with
her. Very few men could be found
that would show so much gallantry
now while women are so plenty. We
expect the treatment of women in
and around Washington has been bad,
but they have kept it bid from the
world and we can't learn much about
it. But we hope to have better set
of men there next session. Wedo not
know of any law that could be passed
to better the condition of the poor
women, except to have the Govern
ment appoint about fifty men in each
county whose business it shall be to
60 around and chastise every man
that abuses women. If Congress re-
fuses to pass such law, Ludus must
get upa private organization to en-
ploy men to do that work-or, we are
even willing that Ludus shall have all
the female editors he, or she, wants
only, "Let us have peace"

Dedication Of the artesia School House.


The Artesia school house, erect
ed by the Los Angeles Immi-
grafton and Land Co operative
Association at cost of nearly
$4,000, was dedicated with appropriate
ceremonies to Learning, Liberty,
Truth, Virtue and Progress, on Sum
day morning, April 25th. At an early
hour Sunday morning, procession of
carriages, ten in number, formed on
Spring street, in front Of the associa-
tion's office, and started for Artesia,
which is located about 20 miles dis
tant in the direction of Anaheim.
The officers, directors and stock hold
ers, with their families and friends,
formed large portion of the process
sion. Arriving at Artesia, they found
a large audience already awaiting
them, which had assembled from the
Artesia settlement aud the adjoining
country.
The school house is a very fine two
story building, finished in first-class
style, surmounted with cupola and
flagstaff from which floated the stars
aud stripes. We learn that the Arte-
sia school district is now being legally
constructed; that it will contain to
start with nearly fifty children; that
the school house will he dedicated to
the district, as soon as the Trustees
are appointed, and that within the
next six weeks large school will be
in progress, where six weeks ago there
was nothing but large but very fine
sheep range.
The dedication exercises were con-
Quoted by Rev. A. Higbie, as Master
of Ceremonies, and were very Impress
i've and interesting. The literary eX-
ercises were interspersed with excel
lent music by the Armor Quartette
Club of Artesia, composed of S. Armor,
his two sisters and basso singer,
whose name we did not learn. We
were unprepared for so good music in
such new locality, and we will here
venture the statement that very few
cities are possessed of so good talent
for quartette singing.
The exercises were opened with the
reading of the Scriptures by Judge
Geo. G. Gibbs of San Gabriel Mission,
followed by prayer by Rev. A. Higbie.
Dedication to learning was responded
to in very able manner by DEW. L.
Lucky of Los Angeles; Liberty, by
Judge ]. E. McComas of Compton;
Truth, by DR.. w. S. Jennings of Arte-
sia; Virtue, by L. M. Holt of Los An
geles, and Progress by Thos. A. Carey
of Los Angeles. After the exercises of
the day, all hands enjoyed a basket
picnic in the school room below, and
then wended their way home again.
