THE RICH AND THE POOR.

The disclosures made by the evidence
taken before the Finance Committee Of
the Board o. Supervisors OF San Fran
cisco 70 to show that that city rejoices in
one Law for the rich and another for the
poor. II man OF limited means has
small piece OF property or little ready
money. the assessor would pouncs upon
him with al the ferceness Of a
beast OF prey. Thsre was no escape
for the small fry but when i, came to the
monied institutions. to the capitalists
and miliouaires. then quite different
order Of things prevailed. The assessor
then upon having his palm well creased
SCARED as gently as sucking dove and
things were made pIeasan. all round, for
there was money in it. The San Fran
cisco assessor was an ardent admirer of
the Isgoan school OF philosophy and
obeyed the injunction OF putting money
in his purse with fidelity tina. was
really affecting. The consequence was.
that tens OF thousands were lost to the
revenues cf the State and County. The
rich escaped with about half the burdens
they should have borne. while those less
fortunately situated had to pay much
more than they ought to have done.
| Meanwhile Mr.. Assessor got rich, the
wealthy got weal.hior. while the man
with few lots or moderate amount of
money got poorer. A very pleasant ar
rangoment for the party OF the first part
but lightning for the other poor fellows.
Now turn to another part OF the affair.
This evidence has been laid before grand
jury after grand jury bat they would do
nothing. They would neither indie. the
rascally officer who stole the money, nor
would they take other proceedings to
protect tho interests OF the tax. payers.
The same grand jury would indict some
poor degraded wretch for stealing few
dollars or some other offense of like
character, but when it came to investi-
eating matter which involved the
wealthy and powerful, then like the
guests bid to the marriage, they all had
business elsewhere. Truly is the city
by the Golden Gate blessed with dual
code, one portion Of which applies to the
great, the wealthy and the powerful; the
other to the poor, the humbel and the
friendless. 1t may work well for while
but some day the thing will burst up
with destructive violence that the par
ties exposed to its influence will have
good cause to remember.

THE PROPOSED RAILROAD.

The other day we called the attention
of our readers to the news received from
the East that the railroad magnates con.
nected with the Union Pacific were look
ing with much favor upon the project
for connecting the Los Angles and indie.
penience Railroad with the Utah South
ern, thus giving the Union Pacific I'M
interrupted access to the coast. The
advantages to that company seemed so
manifest it was not thought probable
that a corporation Of its resources would
hesitate in providing the necessary funds
to connect the road. Since VIC published
our remarks on the matter number OF
the Los Angles Express has come to
hand, which we find entertains the same
views. That paper says:
There are other reasons. however, that
make II wise to extend the Los Angles
aud Independence. Railway to Ogden.
Its extension would develop a mining
region Of unsurpassed richness. At
every step OF the way mining camps
would spring up, and such regions as
Phoebe would be pushed forward to
splendid development by the cheapened
transportation which would follow the
advent Of the railway Should the con.
nection be made by means of the South.
ern Utah, a rich mineral region. includ-
ing the base metals and inexhaustible
beds OF coal, would be struck. The
building and extension OF the road would
inaugurate an era Of mining activity such
as has never yet been witnessed on the
Pacific coast. As mining railroad,
alone, the road would pay, but it would
also in time develop fair continental
business.
The Express is right. the effect of q
railroad passing through the country re-
ferred to would cause q wonderful deyel.
opment OF the mineral riches with which
these regions abound. The results of
cheap fuel and transportation would be
magical and can scarcely be exagsrated
by the most sanguine. Goal OF the best
quality for making coke is found in ex.
haustiess quantities in San Pete. Tha.
found further south is also said to be OF
excellent quality. As coke is the fuel
best adapted to smelling and being sup.
piled on moderate terms there would be
scores and scores of furnaces built and
proftably worked in localities that now
are not thought Of. Beside cheap fuel
for the supply of mills and hosting
works would also materially aid the or
binary mode Of working mines and re-
ducing to the uses OF man the mineral
wealth of this section. Looking at the
project in oil its bearings it would seem
rs il for once that the interests OF the
country and a powerful railroad company
were identical, which is very cheering
element of the proposition, and one that
goes far to create the belief that the en-
terprise will very soon be undertaken
and vigorously pushed to completion.

undrum is now in order, as to what
was the cause Of the sudden change,
