degrading for endurance; :" and-Theodore Tilton
Judge Porter's nvective in this passage was ter
rible. Martin and Tilton simply lied. These
three men were no match for the school girl who
overthrow "the most brilliant cross-examiner in
America" to fight whom Judge Fullerton was
compelled to call 'the most splendid advocate now

Mr.. Beach smiled contemptuonsy at this last al
lu-ion to himself. The speaker predicted that
Frank Moulton will, in due time as he deserves
be cursed and kicked by Tiiton."
Judge Porter then took up the scene described
by Bessie when Mrs. Tilton is alleged to have
come home and found Ellen Dennis IN her place
at the table. He drew a most pathetic picture OF
Mrs. Iilton's feelings on that occasion, and en-
tered INTO another culo2y OF Miss Turner, who
had had on the witnoss-s.and the opportunity of
maxim. the proud answer that NOBODY
ever accused her Of lying. Turning
to Tilton, Jud.o Potter laid, III a tone OF

then drew another pathetic picture Of Ms lilt2ps

Mrs. Bradshaw and Bessie Turner differed only in
an unimportant point, while the testimony OF
Deacon Bell, who was called for the prosecution
more than corroborates the latter.
Judge Porter then proceeded to give Mr.. Bower

The reorganization of the Northern Pacific
railroad by the practical extinction Of its proprie-
tary or stock interests is going on rapidly and
tremendously. The decree Of foreclosure under
the mortgage of the bond-hslders has been made,
and the property will pass into their hands by sale
in August. Then the plan is for the bond holders
to authorize a new loan under theirs, to raise
money enough to go on with the work Of construc'
tion. The theory Of the whole proceeding is that
the road has capacity within itself to WORK ilse
out to completion.

State is this system of evasion carried
to greater extent than in San Fran
cisco. There are millions and mil
ions of taxable property in
that city that is never taxed. The
revenue which ought to be collected
from these millions is made up from
the property of the poorer and more
honest class, whose burden is thereby
made heavier. For some years past 1t
has been the complaint of the banks of
Sacramento and other interior towns,
that in proportion they paid taxes
largely in excess of those paid by the
banks of San Francisco. The RosEN-
EK investigation not only establishes
the fact that those complaints were
made on good grounds, but it shows
the modus Operdndi by which the
metropolitan banks have avoided
paying taxes on their vast wealth. 1t
was in evidence that the banks were
assessed at figures approximating their
correct valuations; but on application
to the Assessor, and the payment to
him of a large sum-S10,00O or $4,000
=" to defray his election expenses"
the assessment is reduced hundreds of
thousands, perhaps millions of dollars,
and all is serene with the banks
and the Assessor. Here are
thousands of dollars lost to the
revenue on one class of business. Is
there not like swindling operations in
others? The inference is fair that if
RosENER would accept bribe from
the banks and in consideration of
those bribes reduce the taxation below
what it should be, he would for like
consideration reduce the assessment on
the property of rich men and corpora
tions engaged in other lines of busi-
ness. To what extent this system of
official fraud and peculation has been
carried it is difficult to even approxi-
mate. This evasion of their propor-
tion of taxation by the wealthy is rob-
berry of the masses. Just SO much
revenue must be raised, and when
one-half the wealth of the State es-
capes assessment the burden of taxa
tion is doubled on the remaining half.
These are thoughts for the considera-
tion of the people. If the rich are per-
mitted to bribe the officers to rob the
poor we shall soon learn that there is
too much truth in the sentence that
this is country in which the rich
grow richer and the poor poorer.

Wealth Evading Taxation.

The investigation into the dark
and tortuous ways of Assessor
RosENER of San Francisco, throws ad-
ditional light on matter about which
a great deal of discussion has already
taken place. We mean the evasion of
taxation by the rich. An examina-
ton of the assessment list of great
many counties and cities of our State
show that the bulk of the revenue is
raised from the taxes paid by the poor
man and the man of moderate means,
and closer examination of the list
will show that while the man of a few
thousand dollars is assessed up to the
full value of his property, the man of
many thousands is assessed at half or
less than half his actual value in dol
lars and cents. In no place in the

A Suggestion.

Our people are casting about in
search of candidate for Congress who
will fully and faithfully represent
Southern California at the Nations
capitol. Up to this time no Demo-
cratic candidate has been named who
resides in the southern part of the
State, and we now assume the respon-
sihility of suggesting one-Col. B. ID.
WILSON of Wilmington. We are not
personally acquainted with Colonel
WILSON, and We mention his name in
connection with the candidacy for
Congress without his knowledge and
without knowing that he would accept
the position if rendered him. We how
ever know him well by reputation
know his history and know something
of the service he has rendered South
ern California. We want represent
tative in Congress who is familiar
with the wants and resources of this
part of the State-a man who will la
bor to supply those wants and secure
the passage of such laws as will aid
the development of those resources;
Representative in fact who is of the
people. Such man we believe Col
onel WILSON to be. He has resided
in this county nearly thirty-five years
and this long period of his life has
been devoted to the best interests of
Southern California. Twice he has
represented Los Angeles county in the
State Senate. and to-day no man in
California enjoys more fully the conf
dence and respect of all who know
him. We want men of good sound
practical sense in Congress, and Col.
WILSON is one Of those men.

Political Bartering.

EDITOR HERALD: The pertinent
remarks in your article in this morn
ing's issue, under the above caption,
has the ring of true metal in it. 1t is
a subject of vital Importance to the
people, and all the people, at this time.
It is weIl known fact that the caucus
hates no men so much as they hate
good and true men. They have no use
for men of freedom of thought, purity
of character and inflexible purpose. 1t
is place men they are hunting-men
of pliable nature and yielding DISPOSE
tion By the organism OF our Govern
ment all power is placed in the hands
of the people, but the caucus has in
siduously seized this power and are
appropriating it to their own partizan
and selfish ends. The question is, can
we successfully combat them? Have
we not advanced to a stage in our
reckless career, from which it is i'm
possible for US to return? We do not
doubt the purity and bravery of the
American people. They are ready to
fight Kings and Princes and all ene-
mics of Republic. But the question
now is, how are they going to fight?
No Kings here exist, but We have
more formidable enemy than any
earthly potentate in our very midst, in
the form of the great corporate organ
ization that insiduously attempts to
wrest the power from the hands of the
people by the use of placemen in the
Government. If the combat was
simple contest between them and the
people, it would soon end in grand
triumph on the side of the people. But
such is not the case, and we blush
to confess the sad truth, which
our observation has taught us.
The struggle ina great measure has
been between place men and those who
wish to displace them merely to get
their places-it is a struggle between
Office holders and Office seekers, aud
the question has been, which do the
people prefer? We confess that both
partiess possess some good men, but
not enough to leaven the lump. See
ing this, it is not astonishing that so
many good men refrain voting, or per-
mitting their names to be used in con-
nection with either party. The num-
Der of this class have rapidly increased
from day to day. But this far they
have done nothing but chide the two
great parties. Our greatest hope for
the country is that this independent
element may put their services to a
better use. Improperly organized they
are strong enough to give the victory
to either side. In other words they
hold the balance ofpower and can de-
mand from either party, a just and
economical administration of the gov
ernment. In order to secure the CO.
operation of the Independents, both
the old parties would of necessity put
their hest men forward. This would
be terrible blow upon place hunters.
We hear considerable said in regard
to running an Independent ticket Such
ticket might secure few offices in
the State, but our past experience con-
vinces us that without a majority in
the Legislature. The Independents
can accomplish nothing. That ma
jority they cannot attain.

Those BeIiigerent Miners.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, May 6th.-To-
day was the time fixed by President
Parrish for stopping the pumps and
pc Knitting the mines to fill up with
water, if the miners did not resume
work. They refused to resume, and
the pumps and other machinery will
be removed at once. There is no pres
ent prospect of the strike ending.
The miners are as determined as over,
and are daily receiving assistance from
other sections.
Last night the house of Bernard Nc
Dade, miner living in Kingston,
who has been working, was attacked
by gang of men, women and boys.
McDade was beaten until his life is
despaired OF, and his house was nearly
demolished. A warrant was issued
to-day for the whole gang.
Messrs. Waterman and Bearn have
ordered the miners who occupy their
houses in Kingston to vacate them by
the 18th. They mean to enforce the
order and trouble is anticipated.

One Chance Left.

The Sacramento Record linton is
and always has been dissatisfied with
the government of the United States,
its forms and principles. Of late it has
grumbled at the result of elections
and expresses the belief that they have
been brought about by the votes of
foreign born citizens. To check and
destroy the effect of this class Of fvotes
it hints at the necessity for the forma-
tion of another Know Nothing party.
We regret this manifestation ofdiscon-
tent on the part of the Record editor.
We regret it all the more because he
is an unnaturalized foreigner. We
like to make it pleasant for the sub
jects of Queen VICTORIA or of any 9TH
er Queen or King when they visit US
and we like to have them praise and
admire our Republic and the way we
conductit. We have no objection to
the coming here of Mr.. PARsoN or any
other British subject. We do not
care if he or they persistently refuse to
become citizens Of this country, nor
do we seriously object to their taking
hand in our political affairs and
filling year in and year out the COL
umns of a newspaper with abuse of
the government from its foundation
rock to it's cap stone. This is free
country and up to the commencement
of the "late unpleasantness" every
man--foreign born or native bred
had an inalienable right to swear at
every officer of the realm from town
beadle to President. But there is one
privilege which has never been denied
natives of England or any other for
eign country who come here, and, while
refusing to become citizens, growl at
everything they see, and that is the
privilege to leave any moment after
they obtain money enough to pay
their passage out of the country.
