A Correct Statement.

While hurling anathemas at the
Central Pacific Railroad the other
evening, Mr.. FrTCH unintentionally
made strong argument in favor Of
the Pacific Coast roads being owned
and operated by Pacific Coast compa-
nies. He said that the most Eastern
camp on the Central Pacific road drew
its supplies from San Francisco and
that the most Western town on the
Union Pacific received its merchandise
from Omaha or Chicago. This was
offered as evidence of discrimination,
and If We accept it as such we must
admit that it shows a discrimination
in favor of ourselves. Suppose the as
sertion of the speaker is true that all
railroads practice this species of dis
elimination, we see at once that if
Ton SooTT is the owner and manager
OF the Southern Pacific road he will
discriminate against the trade of the
West and compel the miners of Ari-
zona to purchase their supplies from
Eastern dealers. The HERALD has
always maintained that if the Western
half of the Southern overland railroad
was built by California company we
should have it completed in short
time and retain the trade ofthe country
through which it passed. We do not
care who builds the road; we have no

EDITOR HERALD: The unwarranted
attack of mercenary buffoon, coming
even from the source that it did, re-
quires at my hands a few words in
reply, in order to satisfy my fellow
citizens that am not Indifferent to
their good opinion. This imported
hireling assails me, private citizen,
who is not candidate for office, but
strictly engaged in my private affairs.
He charges me with being used by
the Southern Pacific Railroad in at
tacking the Santa Monica enterprise.
Both he and his informants are base
falsifiers. No corporation can use me.
IF were of that stripe 1 could have
made millions.
AID and controlling its columns. An
other base falsehood. l have never
attempted such course.
He charges me with opposing the
Los Angeles and Independence Rail-
road-another falsehood.
The Santa Monica speculation is
not Los Angeles and Independence
Railroad. Tie gentlemen who OBJ
tanned the franchise, Mr.. Wilson,
Mr.. Belshaw, myself and others, well
understand this, and consequently We
let it severely alone. Our Narrow
Gauge railroad contemplated Los An
geles and Independence as the termini
and the beneficiaries of the road. We
had neither town lots or mining
stock in view; our object was to pene-
trate the great interior and make the
road to serve in particular manner
the two cities mentioned.
| am sure that this itinerant clown
has not yet had the sanction of Sena-
tor Jones in comparing me disadvan-
tageously with the wealthy Senator.
Mr.. Jones knows full we'll that such o
course would be In bad taste. He also
knows that my check is just as good
cause he knows | have always met my
engagements, and that / am a man of
truth.
The Southern Pacific owes me no
favors. have always opposed them,
and vigorously, too, when / thought
they were wrong, and praised them
when they done us benefit Through
their energy and vast expenditure, in
the last three years they have doubled
our population and wealth. L am
grateful for these benefits, and so are
vast majority of the thinking peo-
pie of this city and county.
Those who advise personal attacks
are misguided. L know them and
pity them. / will invite them to
discussion of our respective merits in
all the walks of life. In conclusion |
will state that / owe no obligation to
any corporation; that | have never
ridden single mile free on any road
of corporation. / am therefore free
to attack or praise, as see fit, and,
while have often incurred their dis
pleasure, L have never lost their re-
spect. n
l have not sought this personal af-
fair, neither shall I avoid its conse-
quences. Taking the advice of Polon-
ius, am slow to enter and not anx-
ious to get out.

WINFEMUCcA, New, July 25.-In
the Rover trial Hon. VIM. S. Bonne-
field delivered charge to the jury
last night, at $3.50. AT 10 O'Clock they
returned verdict of "guilty as
charged" The counsel failed to re-
quest the jury as to the forms of the
verdict, and no degree being specified,
it is quite probable the defense will
move an arrest of judgment or apply
for new trial, which will likely be
granted. Notwithstanding the ex-
cessively hot weather the court room
was crowded all day Saturday to hear
the argument of counsel. Much feel
ing has existed in this community as
to the supposed guilt of Rover or Nc
Worthy, of completely in the murder.

AN ordinance passed by the Com
mon Council makes it an offense
against the peace and dignity of the
city to leave unhitched teams standing
in the streets. Merchants and others
refuse to allow drivers to hitch their
teams to awning posts, and there are
very few hitching posts to be found.
People coming in from the country
find themselves in an awkward posi-
tion. They are fined if they leave
their teams unhitched and they are
ordered not to hitch them to awning
posts. 1t seems that the only way out
of this dilemma is for the Council to
order the erection of hitching posts in
convenient places for the accommoda-
ton of the public.
