A Nero Gush Of Words.

The New York Sun, in an edito'
r.al OH the day after Kearney made
his Faneuil Hall speech, thus criti'
cixed 1t:
Kearney, of California, may be Il
very smart man, but his first
speech after his arrival in the East
does not show it. Kearney says,
out of sixty thousand words COM
posing the English language, he is
lin possession of few hundred. We
are sorry to say that, julging by
Kearney's perform rance in Faneuil
Hall, his possession of words is
very large in proportion to
his ideas. There may be
more of Kearnsy than yet
appears, but such bslderdash as he
let off Monday night in Boston will
not answer to found political par
ty upon. When one speaks OF
.working people" in this country,
he speaks Of nearly the whole popu-
latIon. We area nation of work
ingmen and women. Even children
work. Idlers form but an insisDifi.
cant minority in this country.
Now, If Kearney, of California, has
anything to propose for the good of
the working classes, we are all
concerned to hear it; but let it be
something at once rational and def
mite. something practical and good,
II accomplished. A mere gush of
words will do nobody any good.

The Desert to Havs Steam
Wagon.
Yuma Sentinel

UNA 0outkdCi.t
The contract for carrying the
daily mail between Yuma and San
diego has been entrusted to Gas
hill Brothers, Of Campo. About
100 miles Of the road lies across the
California desert. Across this
ntrotch mails and passengers are
soon to be carried by steam.
The Messrs. Gaskill are in
dustrious inventors, and have
obtained q number of patents.
One of their last Inventions Is a
steam-wagon, designed more par.
ticularly for travelling level and
sandy roads. A working model has
been made, which fully demon-
strates the practical value of the
Invention. One of the brothers has
just purchased q suitable engine and
boiler at San Francisco, of about
two horse- power. The wagon will be
made in their shop at Campo. 1t
will have two driving wheels OF
seven feet diameter and twelve
Inches width of tire. The whole
apparatus will weigh about two
thousand pounds, when supplied
with fuel and water, and ready for
business. 1t is intended to make
m average speed of eight or ten
miles per hour, carrying five oi
six persons and moderate
weight of baggage and malls
1t will consume ten gallons
ofwater per hour. There is plenty
OF fuel in the mesquit groves on thu
desert, and cottonwoods on New
River and the Colorado. Messrs
0askill propose to have the new
machine making regular trip
acress the desert by October lst
Their well known energy and en-
teFplse make it very certain tha
their expectations will be fully re
allied.

The New Through Route.

Abiding to our article, few
days ago touching the probability
ofan early connection of the South.
ern Pacific with the Atchison &
Topeka road, and its probable eff
feet on the prosperity of our section,
the Santa Barbara Press says:
The objection to Californians en-
couraging transcontinental rail-
road built by eastern capital"
has always seemed to us narrow
and frivolous. Capital knows no
State lines. We ought to encour-
age competition, no matter from
what source.
The statement of the EXPRESS
that Arizona merchants can now
have Eastern goods laid down at
their doors cheaper by this Arkan-
sas Valley route, with it's 500 miles
of wagoning from Pueblo to Pres.
colt, than trey can by the all-rail
route via Omaha aud SanFrancisco,
is fully confirmed by a gentleman
now here, who was recently in the
southern Pacific service In Arizona.
lie says that q dollar will
to-day buy in Prescott more
coffee, calico, or other neces-
sary articles sf consumption
brought overland, than dollar
will buy of the same articles In
Santa Barbara or Los Angeles.
With this difference between the
two routes now, what may not be
The difference In the cost of freight
when a second through road shall
have been completed over the
southern route? And what an
overshadowing advantage will be
given to California and the whole
country when overland rail COM

grandest industrial and CONNER
