of-Gt least, fifty per cent, less, is the thing
TO be adopted; and shall treat the subject
chiefly from pecuniary standpoint.
1t is daily being verified in various
parts of the country, that Narrow Gauge
Railroads can be constructed and put
into operation at cost of from $4,000
to $4,000 per mile, while that of the
Broad Gauge Road, is from $4,000 TO
$50, 900 per mile. Taking then the aver
age, or mean cost required for compile
ton of the respective roads-which is
$4,000 and $4,000 per mile-we have
for operating only, a saving of $4,000,
in favor of the Narrow Gauge Road.
Having shown the cost of Broad Gauge
20 be enormously in excess of that of the
/ Narrow Gauge Road, we will notice
briefly, the more important item-that
of general expenses. From reports of the
former, is fact, Though no one who
has not Investigated the matter to some
extent, would scarcely believe it to be
true that the expenses incurred for
transportation alone, are $1,000 to ST.
500 per mile per GRnum--for the most
part station, Road and Train repairs
while we confidently express our belief
that the latter can be successfully opeI
ated moving the entire commerce of the
country, at an expense of not exceeding,
81 200 per mile per annum, being an an
nual saving of expenses, of at least
$500. Thus far, in order to be fully I'M
derstood by every one who may read this
article, we have limited ourselves to the
consideration of one mile of Road, and
now propose to notice, (for a more ex-
tended, yet comprehensive, idea,) the
workings of line fifty miles in length,
for the term of ten years, aunt
ting no increase or diminution Of the an
nual, current expenses.
First: Taking, rs a basis, the mean
cost of one mile of Road, completed in
running order, and we have:
For the Broad Gauge, 50 miles q $780,
wv per mlle...'. ,5OO, OOO
| For the Narrow Gauge, so miles s14,-
| WV per SfUO,uOO
Excess in cost of completed Road

Second Considering the annual expense
of operating for the term of ten years, and
we have:
For the Broad Gauge, 50 miles a ST.
600 per mile per annum for ten years 81 200, OOC
For the Narrow Gauge, 80 mile q 600
for ten 6OOOU
Excess of Transportation expenses

Third: Computing the interest on ex'

NO FUSION OR COMPROMISE.

Two years ago the anti-monopoiy
Republicans of California, backed by
the Sacramento Union and San Fran
cisco Bulletin, two of the leading
journals of the State, organized the
Independent party. The Independ
ents were roundly abused by the
Republican press and speakers from
Siskiyou to San Diego. They were
represented as chronic officer seekers
and unprincipled demagogues, I'M
worthy the confidence or support of the
people. The new party was hailed with
general favor nevertheless, many Demo
Gratis doing good service in its ranks
against the monopoly ridden Republi-
cans. The result was an Independent
victory, and the election of an anti
monopoly United States Senator for
full term, and q Democrat to the
vacancy created by Casserly's resig
nation. AS might be expected, the
Independents were charged with all
manner of ofienses, and their leaders
accused of being place hunters and I'M
principled demagogues, who failing to
rule, were determined to ruin the Re-
publican party. This warfare against
the Independents has been waged in
cessantly up to within the last few
weeks, and until the Republicans saw
that defeat was inevitable at the ensu-
ing election, unless fusion or COM
promise could be effected with the
Independents. Suddenly the denun-
Citations cease and overtures are made
to the Independents by the Republi-
cans. Commenting on these propo-
sails writer in the San Francisco
Bulletin says:
No! thousand times no! 1t is too
late to think of compromise. What
there is left of the Republican party in
this State is but weak remnant
numerically, is utterly corrupt, has no
principles but plumber, acknowledges
no such sentiment AS public virtue, is
hated and dispised by the people, and
will bring weakness rather than
strength to any cause it advocates.

SENSIBLE TALK.

p. T. Barnum, the renowned show
man of woolly horses and Feejee
mermaids, has been elected Mayor of
Bridgeport, Connecticut. He was al
ways a practical man, and the people
were willing and anxious to pay for
seeing his circuses, menageries and
even his humbugs. In his inaugural
address he makes practical suggestions
and gives wholesome advice, as may
be seen from the following extract:
L" 1t is painful to the industrious and
moral portions of our people to see SO
many loungers about the streets, and
such multitude whose highest aspi-
rations seem to be to waste their time in
idleness or at base ball, billiards, etc.
No person needs to be unemployed who
is not over fastideous about the kind
of occupation. There are too many
soft hands (and heads) waiting for
light work and heavy pay. Better
work for half loaf than beg or steal
a whole one. Mother earth is always
near by, and ready to respond to rea-
sonablo drafts ON her never failing
treasury. A patch of potatoes raised
on shares is preferable to poulticed
pate earned in whisky scrimmage.
Some modern Micawbers stand with
folded hands waiting fer the panic to
pass, as the foolish man waiting for
the river to run dry and allow him to
walk over. The soil is tie foun-
dation of American prosperity.
When multitudes of our consumers
become producers; when fashion teach
es economy, instead of expanding for
a gaudy dress what would comfortably
clothe the family; when people will
learn to walk until they can afford to
ride; when the poor man ceases to
spend more for tobacco than bread;
when those who complain of panic
learn that we cannot eat our cake and
keep it, that a sieve will not hold
water; that we must rely on our own
exertions, and earn before we can
expend, then will panics cease and
prosperity return. While we should
by no means restrict healthy recreation,
we should remember that time is
money. that idleness leads to immoral
habits, and that the peace, prosperity,
and character of city depend on the
intelligence, integrity, industry, and
frugality of its inhabitants.

WHISKY FRAUDS, In which whole
regiment of Grants civil service reform
officials are implicated, have been I'M
earthed in the West. The distillers and
Federal revenue collectors had formed
ring and joined hand in hand in de-
frauding the Government. Distilleries
have been seized in Chicago. st. Louis
and other cities in the Western States,
and disclosures are being made which
implicate officers connected with the
Revenue Department higher in author
ity than the district collectors. 1t has
been ascertained that in st. Louis
alone $4,000 barrels of whisky have
escaped the tax through the connivance
of corrupt officials. and that the Gov
eminent has been defrauded out of
10000 of which the officers re-
ceived about 40 per cent. The investi-
cations which led to the'discovery of
these frauds were made under the direc-
ton of Secretary Bristow. who seems
to be determined, at the risk of being
removed, to reform his department.

The State Centennial Board of C

The State Centennial Board of Com
missioners met at Carson this week
and agreed to pay State Mineralogist
Whitebill $500 month and w f.
Stewart an equal amount for collect
ing specimens for the Centennial Ex-
hibition. Mr. Whitehill receives a
salary from the State, and good one
too, for attending to the duties of State
Mineralogist. If he performs those
duties he cannot be expected to earn
$500 a month collecting specimens for
the National Exhibition. 1t has been
repeatedly asserted that he does not
give sufficient attention to mining in
terests of the State as Mineralogist, and
that his biennial reports are re-hashed
from newspapers and other second
hand evidence. If these assertions are
well founded, and the duties of the
office are 80 arduous as to prevent him
from personally examining the several
mining districts of the State once in
two or four years. how in the name of
common sense can he devote his atten-
ton to the collection of specimens for
the Centennial. This appointment
smacks little of humbng, though it
may be susceptible of a satisfactory
explanation.

THE students of Princeton and Rut-
gers Colleges, New Jersey, are having
what is called "cannon war" In
the Campus of Princeton stood for
years a cannon captured from the
British in the Revolutionary war. Rut-
gers claimed the gun, which was taken
from their grounds years ago by the
Princeton students. Recently, during
vacation, when the Princeton students
were absent, the Rutgers boys took the
gun in the dead of night and carried it
to New Brunswick, several miles away,
where Rutgers College is situated. They
are having fierce war of words over
the affair, in which the citizens of
Princeton and New Brunswick take
sides with the students of the colleges
located in their respective towns.
Vengeful threats have been made and
reiterated, and it would not be surpris-
ing if the war of words should culmin-
ate in war of blows.

A deer has been made of boiler-iron,

The anthracite trade during the yeaI
now virtually ended has been of an en-
couraging character Notwithstanding the
great depression in the iron trade, its
principal customer. The total production
of anthracite for the year will foot up ovel
%, ,0O0, 900 tons, and show an increase o.
from 250, 900 to 300, 900 tons, all of which
except the small amount now lying in the
storage yards, found market, and where
it went is shown by the steady demand anC
remunerative prices for domestic sizes
and the slow sales and low prices for the
large sizes used in the iron business. Thii
shows that the anthracite market Is con
stantly extending.
A CURIOUS story of unjust justice come
from Florence. An English resident o
that city was visited by a fellow-membe
of his club, an Italian, who asked him t
pay him that 5000 lire.n The English
man owed him nothing, and told him so
He promptly brought suit for the tictitiou
debt. The defendant, thunderstruck, con
suited friend, who told him to leave tn
whole matter in the hands of certain
lawyer. He did so. When the trial cam
off three witnesses swore that they ha,
seen the money lent to the defendant. Tn
latter was appalled, to hear his counsel say
1--WE admit the debt" and was pleasantl
stunned when six witnesses promptll
swore that they had seen the money re
paid. Verdict for the defendant. Thi
peculiar case throws strong light on tn
Italian judicial system, though falls
swearing is, unfortunately, by no mean
confined 10 transatlantic courts.
