All About a Lost Paper-Great Interest
for California = The Long Horn
state Excited-The Glad TIdings in
the Herald.

EDITOR HERALD: Your last issue,
June Goth, came to hand, but in get
ting it from the office home, for even
ing reading, it was lost. 1 have re-
ceived every number since my sub
scription commenced and don't want
to lose this. Therefore, enclosed find
currency, Uncle Sans money which
1 presume you don't use in California;
for the lost copy, as would not miss
it for a great deal. One of my neigh
bors, to whom l lend it, says he would
not miss it for one dollar; or, in other
words, he offered reward of one dol
lar for it. So please send me the
stolen number, as more than one eye
is waiting to scan it-more than one
pale, emaciated form wants to read
the hope it holds out for the prolonga-
ton of life to the weak lunged-more
than one ruddy faced, healthy, ambi-
tious young man, full of industry and
enterprise, want to read of your Won
derful productions, and all are willing
to discount so per cent. and be more
than satisfied. So send the missing
number along. Yours truly.

Malice or Ignorance.

The San Francisco Bulletin is pre-
ferring charges against Mr.. IRWIN,
Democratic candidate for Governor,
which can only have their origin in ig-
norance or malice. In filling its col
ums day after day with articles hav-
ing for their object the creation of an
impression that Mr.. IRWIN is what 1T
is pleased to term "a railroad man."
the Bulletin is really doing much to
prove it's managers, men of such igno-
rance that they are incapable of con-
ducting an intelligent journal, or men
so destitute of honorable instincts that
paper under their control is unworthy
of public patronage or support. The
railroad people did not hesitate to ex-
press themselves freely and openly, on
the point and it is generally known
that of all the Democratic candidates
for Governor, WILLIAM IRWIN was
the one they least desired to see NOM
mated. What is more, the railroad
company would not give red cent to
secure the defeat or election ofeither of
the three candidates for Governor now
before the people. Mr.. IRwIN's SEN
atoral record shows him to be any,
thing but the friend or agent of the
railroad company. He has opposed
their every proposition, and but for
his vote the bills granting two import
ant subsidies would have passed over
| Governor HAIGHT'S veto. The Bul-
letin is aware of these facts. tis not
so besottedly ignorant as it is corrupt
and vicious. The railroad company
are not in politics. They so announc-
ed many months ago, and we doubt
if any one can produce the slightest
evidence to show that this announce
ment was not made in good faith and
the resolution not faithfully kept.
The Bulletin is doing all in its power
to force the company on the defensive
and compel them to go back into poll
tics, but we do not think 1t will succeed
in doing this nor in defeating Mr..
IRWIN

Our roaring friend TIMOTHY Guy
PHELPS has figured himself into
trouble. He expects to be elected on
his showing that the expenses of the
State Government have been too high
in the past and his promise that they
shall be reduced in the future. This
was all very fine until some one went
over the ground and showed that the
heaviest bills were made by PHELPS
party and the lightest, to which he did
not allude, by Democratic Admins
trations. Now the question comes up:
Is it better to trust the Republicans
after they have been tried and found
wanting, than the Democrats who
proved themselves faithful and econ
omical servants? When TIMOTHY is
asked to solve this easy problem, he
begins to rave about the loyalty Of the
Republican party.

OUR friend LORD addresses a letter
to the HERALD and publishes it in the
Erpress in which he takes exceptions
to our remarks about "straw bidders u
at the Santa Monica lot sales. Really,
we didn't know that LORD had bought
a block or foot of land in Jonesville,
and we cannot for the life of us see
why he labors so hard to get on shoe
which he asserted at the outset would
not fit. AS for the threat in the clos
ing paragraph of LORDS letter, we
can only suggest that when he appro-
pirates a general remark and grows
"restive" thereat, if he will call at
this office we will do our utmost to
soothe him.

Tho CharpeninE Case.

CHICAGO, July 19th.-The Inter-
Oceans Washington special says At
torney General Pierrepont has spent
much time in max ing an exhaustive
review ofthe Chorpending case and has
completed his report thereon. The
AttOrnies for claimant have however
asked for two days more in which to
file additional briefs pending which
the promulgation of Pierrepont's de-
csion is suspended. Judge Black is
one of the counsel for claimant and
has filed arguments to the effect that
after the claim had been in pursuance
of act of Congress settled by the Post
master General, it is beyond the pow
er of Congress to interfer, and that
the act suspending payment was void.
1t would naturally be inferred from
the fact that the motion for the delay
comes from the claimant, that Pierre
points opinion is adverse to his claim.

The Jonesville town lot speculation
has collapsed. The HERALD probed
the concern, and it resolved itself into
its original quality-nothing. The
story that Santa Monica would con-
tain 10000 people in three years, was
too much for the credulity of even the
San Francisco curb-stone yisionaries.
They have schooled themselves to see
mountains Of gold in wildcat ledge,
but to see this great commercial city,
which should have population of
100000 in ten years, was something
they could not see. And those who
came down on the Senator with the
understanding that in case they pur-
chased lot, the amount of their pas
sage would be deducted from the pur-
chase money, concluded that they had
rather pay their way than to wait for
those 100000 population. The bubble
is bursted, and the great commercial
city of Jonesville has relapsed into
pleasant seaside watering place.

The Great Desideratum.

WE cannot but think that the peo-
pie ofSan Diego are standing in their
own light while persisting that the
Southern Overland road must be built
by TOM SCoTT or no one. More than a
year ago the HERALD took the ground
that it would be better for the Pacific
Coast if the western half of the road
was built by the Southern Pacific Com
pany, and from that day to this we
have seen nor heard nothing tending
to change the opinion then expressed.
Our railroad company claim that they
have right to build and operate the
Pacific end of the road and that to do
this they should receive the same ma
tional aid that is awarded SCOTT or
whoever shall construct the road from
the Atlantic westward. Of the cor
rectness of this claim it is needless to
say anything further than that it is
and always will be sustained by suf-
ficient number Of Senators and Con-
gressmen to forever prevent the pas
sage of a bill giving an exclusive fran
chise and monopoly of the aid to
Tom SCoTT. Unless this conclusion
can be proved erroneous, it affords the
strongest argument In favor of aban-
doning q measure th at cannot be car
ried out and for the adoption of one
that possesses the elements of success.
So far as the developmentof the country
is concerned,it matters not who builds
the railroad. The great desideratum is
the road. The question of competition
does not enter into the controversy be-
cause it is based on false ground.
Competition is a thing much talked
about among theorists and visionaries
but short lived and ephemeral when it
comes in contact with the practical
business of life. Men DO not compete
long when competition begins to i'm
poverish themselves. Railroad Com
panies sometimes compete with each
other for short time for the amuse-
ment of the public, but when the play
begins to be expensive we very soon
find that scale of rates have been
agreed upon and you pay the same no
matter on which road you travel. We
rely more on the rules of trade-on the
law Of supply and demand-for the Sc
curing of reasonable rates for freights
and fares, than on the uncertainty of
competition. We have no doubt but
that unity of action among the peo-
pie of Southern California will secure
the passage of bill by the next Con-
gress which will give us q Southern
overland railroad within the next four
years. The Southern Pacific track
will be completed to San Gorgonio
Pass in a few weeks and if that COM
pany is permitted to build the Pacific
halfofthe Southern road, the track will
be laid from San Diego harbor to a
junction with the Southern Pacific in
the Pass in few months. The COM
pany will have their road completed
as far East as the Colorado river by
next July, With these facts before
them the San Diego people ought to
see that their only prosperity depends
on an early completion of the over
land road and they cannot but see that
depending on SCoTT is not the most
speedy method of attaining the de-
sired end.

received the Atlantic and Pacific
Telegraph Company's line which has
been completed between this city and

American news company are sent over
the Atlantic and Pacific wires and are
not subject to the dictation or control
of Press Association. They are de-
livered to alljournals paying for the m

AID will publish the dispatches on the
same morning that they appear in the
