The organization of the Sovereigns
of Industry is rapidly extending
through all the States. In twenty
two States subordinate councils have
already been established. The re-
port of the President made last week
to the National Council assembled at
Philadelphia, states that in New
England alone not less than 100000
persons are receiving material bene-
fits from the Order, in the reduction
OF the cost of domestic supplies. Not
less than 10000 barrels of flour are
shipped direct from the flour mills
OF Patrons of Husbandry, and 9TH
ers, monthly, to New England Coun-
ellis. A Committee was appointed at
Philadelphia to make contracts with
coal companies, so as to sell coal to
the New England and Middle States,
next Summer, at bottom prices.

ENGLAND has had its Shakes
pearan centennial, Scotland its cele-
bratIon of the one hundredth ami
yersary of the birth of Burns, and
now to complete the triad of Great
Britain's heroes Ireland may this
year dedicate the memory of its il
lustrious son, Daniel O'Connell, who
was born in August, 1775. Doubt
less the Irishmen on this side of the
water will also be prompted to re-
call in some appropriate manner the
grand qualities of the great lawyer,
orator and patriot.

Geiser Escapes from the Santa Rosa
JafI-A Masterly Feat.

SANTA Rosa, May 25th.-D. HI.
Geiger, who was convicted last year
for the murder of Mrs. Strong, in
Mendocino county, and sentenced to
the State Prison for life, made his es-
cape from the county Jail at quarter
to o'clock this morning. Geiger's
case was taken to the Supreme Court,
which sustained the decision of the
District Court. The Sheriff was only
waiting for the remittitur to take
him to the State Prison. He got pos
session of fine saw and file, and fif-
teen minutes after the jailer locked all
the prisoners in their cells, Geiger
commenced to work for his liberty.
In about twenty minutes after he had
commenced, he got out of the cell by
springing the side that holds the bolt.
This admitted him to the large hall,
where prisoners are kept during the
day. He then commenced to cut
hole in the ceiling at the further end
of the Jail, but being rather weak, he
asked the prisoners if they wanted to
get out. All of them refused, except
John Jones, who is awaiting the ac-
ton of the Grand Jury on charge of
highway robbery. Geiger then sawed
the massive ring that holds the lock
of the cell occupied by Jones, which
was quickly done, and admitted John
Jones into the large hall. They both
then proceeded to saw out hole in
the ceiling, which they succeeded in
doing after six hours hard work,
which brought them to the jury room,
and from there they left for parts un-
known

The Same Everywhere.

The development of gigantic frauds
among the whisky distillers in the
East has created quite stir, and peo-
pie are wondering how such things
could exist and the heavens not fall.
1t is verification of the old adage
that the disgrace of crime is in de-
lection. If these violators of the law
had not been caught in the act, all
would have gone well and no one
would have felt that the country was
robbed. How great would be the
hubbub were all the revenue frauds
uncovered that have been perpetrated?
This sort of rascality has been going
on since the laws of the nation offered
a premium for its practice. Liquor
manufacturers have swindled the gov
ernment with the knowledge and con-
sent of those whose duty it was to pre-
vent the practice by an honest enforce
ment of the law. We venture the as
sertion that many thousand subordi-
nate officers have lost their situations
by too Jealous discharge of their
duty. 1t is impossible that the gigan-
tic frauds reported could have been so
long carried on without the conniv-
ance of those high In authority. 1t is
q well known fact that not long ago
whisky ring existed in San Francisco,
among the members of which were
men whose positions at Washington
enabled them to prevent investigation
into the affairs of distilleries they did
not wish disturbed as we'll as to cause
the seizure of those not in the ring,
no matter how honestly conducted.
We do not know that this ring is still
in existence, but we do know that
outside distillers often found their es-
tablishment and stock seized and
their business broken up, while the
large houses enjoy an immunity equal
to that of the old ring favorites. Rev.
enue swindling in whisky manufac-
turing reaches from one end of the
nation to the other and high officers
make money out of it.

Bargain and Sale.

AS we understand the programme,
the Republican delegates recently
elected in this city and county will
meet to-day for the performance of
what to the uninitiated appears to be
anomalous duty. One part of the
business, as explained by the mana
gers, is to maintain party organization
by the appointment of Republican
County Committee, and the other the
appointment of committee to confer
with the Independent leaders for the
purpose of effecting union between
the two parties in this county. This
appears to be contradiction of terms
with cross-purpose argument in fa-
vor of unity of action. If the Repub-
lican leaders are really desirous of
maintaining an organization, they
certainly 60 about their work in
very unwise manner when they make
overtures which the manipulators
know and desire shall end in the alb
sorption of the party by the Independ-
ents, as was the case two years ago.
The sale of party name and party
principles at that time reduced the
numerical strength of the Republican
party in this county thirty-three per
cent. and the Federal office-holders
and office-seekers who are trying to
effect another bargain and sale of the
honest Republican voters, well know
that il they attain their purpose the
Republican party of Los Angeles
county will have passed from exist
ence, save In name. Yet they tell the
rank and file they will keep up party
organization. They cannot mean
what they say, and the Republican
masses-those who are Republicans
from principle-should heed the dan
ger that this conference committee in
dicates and guard against the sale of
themselves, which the office-seekers
contemplate. On the other hand,
while there may be office hunters
calling themselves Independents who
are willing even anxious - to form
this unholy alliance with wire-pullers
calling themselves Republicans, 1t is
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-05-28

THERE will he no contention about
the result of the Republican primary
election which took place in San Fran
cisco on Tuesday last. The vote was
very light--too light to afford encour-
agement to the office-seekers of that
party. Tom SHANNON and BoRUCK,
the first and second Lieutenants of
GoRHAM, managed the affair and
elected and defeated just whom they
pleased. How are the mighty fallen!
1t is only little time since the party
which consists only of Federal officers
and is marshalled into line and con-
trolled by man who was dismissed
from the Office Of United States Mar
shal for ironing and marching through
the streets as felon one whose only
offense was that of being witness,
numbered among its members large
proportion of the honest voters of the
city and whose power was as irresist-
able as its pusillanimity is now con-
spicuous.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-05-28

not probable that the Independent
masses will consent to the prostitution
of their principles for the sole purpose
of strengthening the chances of
the Court House and Fed
eral office-holders' ring to maintain
their present positions or obtain better
ones. No Independent who regards
Senator BOOTH as the leader of the
Independent party of California, can
submit to this, for in his speech de-
livered in San Francisco few days
ago, he not only scorned all overtures
for an alliance, but charged that the
Republican party of to-day is COM
pletely under the control of Federal
officers, whose only argument why
they should be retained in office con-
sists in the false and ludicrous asser-
tion that the rebellion is not yet over.
If the Independents of California
have leader, he is embodied in NEW
TON BOOTH, and he most emphati-
cally asserts that no honest Independ-
ent can or will affiliate with the Re-
publican party to the extent of sup
porting the same candidates. We
apprehend that after the members Of
the Los Angeles ring have formed
their combination, they will discover
that it is one thing to sell out the
honest voters of party and another
to deliver the property.

One of the finest Improvements in
the city will be the rebuilding of the
Lafayette Hotel. The whole of the
back of the house is already being
torn down, and the front will shortly
be built up. The stores will be just
half as large as they are now, and, as
the Important has very large stock
on hand, they will not have half room
enough for their goods and in order to
prevent them from being damaged by
dirt and dust, they have decided to
sell all their Spring goods at less than
cost, and others, such as cottons, table,
linen, ETC., at exact cost. We advise
all to call at the Important and con-
vince themselves Of the great bar
gains. Such bargains they can never
get again, and in order to prevent a
great rush, we advise all to call early
and take advantage of the building of

San Diego Items.

From the World, May 25th.
We noticed several OK teams in town
yesterday, loaded for points outside.
The gearing was on the primitive pat
tern, the cattle being yoked to the
horns. We began to think it was time
for Linton to leave.
The Jamul Ranch, S,926 acres, has
been confirmed to the heirs of Henry
S. Burton, deceased. The Jamul is
distant from this city about twenty
five miles, and lisa very desirable prop
erty.
1t now appears that before Mr.. Ca
prom went up to see the Big Trees he
purchased a place in San Bernardino
on which to put down a bank-a
branch of the Commercial-so that not
only Los Angeles but San Bernardino
is to be run by San Diego brains and
money.

Terrible Explosion.

BosToN, May 26th.-This evening an explo-
sion occurred in J. d. Dow's drug store, Wash
ington street. Nothing definite is known as
to the cause. At the time of the explosion
there were about twenty-five persons in the
building. Nearly all were more or less seri-
ously injured. The first intimation was a
deep rumbling sound. similar to that accom-
panying an earthquake. Almost simultane
ousiy the walls of the building burst outward
in every direction, falling in confused mass.
the wreck being more complete than that of
any building blown down by gunpowder du-
ring the great fire. The remains of the build
ing took fire. Two dead bodies have been
taken out and dozen wounded sent to the
cily hospital. 1t is estimated that the loss TO
Dow's building lis $4,000. There was general
shaking up of adjoining buildings, which will
probably bring the losses up to 100000.

contest for County Treasurer, are
counting their chickens before they
are hatched. He is a strong inde-

of his strength is his independence
independence of all parties. He does
not rely upon conventions for his

NEW York, May 26th.-Mr. Jewett, who has
been appointed the Receiver of the Erie Rail-
road. is to assume his duties az soon as he
shall have fled n bond in the sum of $780, 600.
The order of the Court requires him to file an
inventory of all the property of the road and
empowers him to run 1t as usual, prosecute
money, redeem pledges and securities and do
all things necessary for the proper prosecu-
ton of the business of the road. Mr.. Jewett
from being powerless as President, becomes
master of the situation as Receiver. BY
forcing matters, he can bring the trunk lines

Ralston Does Not Resigns.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 27th.--Rumors were
prevalent about town last night, and were
given circulation in the papers this morning,
that w. G. Ralston had resigned his position
as President of the Bank of California. IL was
also whispered that consolidation OF the
leading financial powers In the city was about
to take place In connection with Mr.. Ralston's
since to sell the controlling interest In the
Bank to prominent firm in this city only
failed to become a trade from some minor
points of difference. In an interview with O

plicitly that all such reports are entirely un-
founded; that everything was going on as
usual, and no change contemplated.
