Night Associated Press Reportl
The first issue OF preserved meat and
biscuits to the troops at Woolwich, in
place of the ordinary ratIons, was made
yesterday. This was done to accustom
the men to fare, which will, in case OF
war, become their daily board.
The Manchester Guardian says OF
the seven battalions of the guards, viz:
the first of the grenadiers, first of the
cold stream and the first OF the scouts,
are recruited to their full strength.
Their baggage and arm chests are
already and packed for instant re-
moval. The ranks of the other -four
battalions are being filled up to one
thousand strong.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

We give below statement OF the strength
Of the several candidates for Governor, as
near az can he ascertained from reports re-
ceived. We do not claim that the table is
correct, bu. give it as the result OF the best
information we are able TO obtain. In cur
estimate Of the strength OF Congressional
candidates, we stated that the table given
bv us could be relied upon, and the ballot
ing in the convention showed thai We were
but one OF two votes cut Of the way. We
do not claim any such degree OF accuracy
for the table here given, but its inaccura-
cies will be found to consist, generally
in giving to George I. more strength than
he will have. We are confident that some
of those put down for him, will not support
him, but as they are claimed by some oil
his friends we give him the benefit oil the
doubt. The supporters OF ST. John and
Kelso are not "transferable"-they cannot
BE- d alivereI il 4 BODY TO anyone. George
L. might throw the most OF his strength to
one OF them, but they could not throw
their strength to him. When the st. John
and KeIso men break they will go where
they please, and a majority OF them will

NEW riCIFiC RAILROADS..

II the United States Government ever
intends TO aid another line Of railway to
the Pacific coast, there is no better time to
inaugurate the work than at present. Now,
while so many thousands Of men are seek
ing employment labor can be had at a
price not exceeding one-hali what was paid
in the construction of the Union and Cen
tral Pacific roads, ard the Inauguration of
a great public work of this character at
the present time would do much 10 solve
the labor problem. Let the work OF build
ing another railroai-or two new roads,
il you please-irom the Missouri
Valley to the Pacific coast, be
undertaken at once, with the Govern
ment behind it, giving employment
TO twenty thoOslnd men, and the eff
feet would be very sensibly felt by the la
Dor market of the country. lis direct ef-
feet would be TO furnish employment 10
thousands of ''tramps' who are ''tramps"
from necessity, not choice, and by the slim
lation it would give to other enterprises
it would indirectly furnish employment to
many other thousands, and thus, if in no
other way, would result in great public
benefit. But apart from all considerations
of this kind, another road 10 the Pa
ciic is demanded by the CONNER
cial interests OF the country. One Of
the most-indeed, tie mO&-exacting and
iyrannical of all the monopol;es with which
this country has been cursed, is the Pacific
railroad monopoly, which does not only
squeeze the life blood out of our trans-con-
tinental commerce, but even assumes to set
the laws Of the country at defiance. From
an article on this subject, in the st. Louis
epu Rieaniof the Goth, We extract the fol-
lowing paragraph showing the need OF an
other line:
But for nearly two thousand miles, be
tween the western border Of Missouri and
the Pacific coast, there is but single line
crossing territory that extends all the way
from Mexico to the British possessions, near
~ sixteen hundred miles in breadth. This
line has taxed inter-oceanic commerce since
Its completion, nearly or quite slo1, 00o. o0D in
exerbitant charges, and has lately advanced
its tariff on first-class freight 100 per cent.
charging the modest sum OF 81, 400 for trans
porting ten-ton carload OF merchandise
across the continent To put a stop to this
system of wholesale plumber, and to settle
and develop the rich territory lying north
and south Of the pres, mt Pacific railroad, the
whole West and South are now making an
earnest demand for the completion of the
Northern Pacinc on the forty-seventh paral-
lei. and the Texas Pacific on the thirty-sec-
ond parallel OF latitude. This is the only
cure for the present mons;rous system OF
robbery carried ON by these railroad monop-
olists, and the country has become so well
satisfied of this fact that both measures are
likely 10 be consummated in the early party
. of the approaching session OF congress.

This is an insrdious disease, however, which

with amazing rapidity, and is equally VIM

taking. While there is no immediate dan
ger OF its visiting this part OF the country al
J present, by our carel' ssness in regard to
the condition Of the city We prepare sol
wherein the seeds of any disease that may
be in the air will readily take root anc
grow. The city health department, If We
have one, should institute vigorous meas
ures Of reform in this direction, and in tn
meantime let any citizen who has regar'

Governor has in the second district,

anything 90 inconsistent as TO stand on a

Interpretation that can be put upon the
