WE wish to be distinctly under
stood as advocating all that judi
cious freights and fares legislation
can do to relieve the people and
put 1t out of the power OF Railway
monopolies to oppress them. We
have no hesitation In saying, how
ever, that it Is not fair, in any
sense, TO pile upon the Southern
Pacific Railway the onus of what
We owe to an unprecedented
irouth, to the effects of the panic,
which at last told even In Cslifor-
mia, to the failure of the Temple &
Workman Bank and to the small
pox which prevailed here last win
ter. There is an old ahage about
giving the devil his due, which W.
commend to the consideration of 3
contemporary when writing OF the
Southern Pacific. For our part,
we would not have single rail In
California taken up, and we deny
the assertion that the Southern
Pacific Railway has been an un.
mixed curse to this section. AS to
the bonds, We voluntarily gave
them to the Railway Company and
If we dent saben enough to make
the local taxation of the Company
pay the interest of those deben-
lures we ought to sell out to some.
body who does. Bring the Rail-
ways down to their work of servi-
tors of the people; but, for h-av-
ems sake, don't keep eternally
swapping and snarling at them.
Join in a good humored effort to
obtain the passage of an equitable
fares and freights bill, or hold
your peace, brother quill!

NEW YORK, Jan. 8 The ground
upon which Judge Pratt, of the
New York Court, dissolved the
temporary injunction and referred
the permanent injunction restrain
ing Eugene Kelly & Co. from
pressing their suits against the
Mariposa Land aud Mining Com
pany was that the revised statutes
of this State forbid injunctions to
restrain proceedings IN suits where
on issue has been already Joined,
as was the fact in the suit i'll con-
nection with which this injunction
was sought. OF course the pro-
ceedings against Kelly, for alleged
contempt, fall with the injunction.
IL looks as If the real purpose of
the temporary INTUITION was de-
lay to gain time, IN which the Mar
iposa Company was successful. The
matter in issue between them and
Kelly is expected to be tried here
on'its merits next March.

Get the Best.

In view of the fact that most peo-
pie pass ono-third of the twenty-four
hours in bed, the Importance of hav'
ing only the best bedding needs no
argument. There is no wisdom,
therefore in buying cheap or second
class articles for the sleeping room.
but true prudence direct the very
best bedding that your means will
command; a first-class hair mattress
will outlast two of inferior quality.
The same difference will also be
found in respect to feathers, andwith
the latter, as with hair, the best is
always the cheapest. Too many
young housekecpers neglect to follow
this rule, and pursue a penny-wise
and pound foolish policy, when they
might just as well have adopted the
opposite practice.

The Charleston Courier says: West
Virginia Greenbackcrs might get
some consolation by remembering
that the five delegates tothes Louis
Convention cast their votes solid for
Governor Allen, of Ohio, for Presi-
dent. And yet the leaders of the
Greenback party never falter in
charging the West Virginia Democ,

wash, and the people are beginning
to find out that the gang of office
seekers in that party are trying tc

Mt this matter. These nurses who
have gone out Of the pure air Of

nor glory. Their victories are not
watched by a proud country for
whose honor they sacrifice their lives.

year after year, hang laurels on their
graves. The Howard nurse is only

A BRIDES FAREWELL TO HER

With aching heart and deep regret
greet llfe's saddest day,

And plucked bright, thornless flowers,
Loving to dwell amid the scenes,
Ofthose elysian bowers.
Sweet Home! Dear consecrate6 spotl
How can say farewell?
The bitter grief it gives my heart,
No words have power to tell.
l grieve that time can ever bring

Or that the loved ones left behind
Will cease their thought OF me.
Farewell, dear friends. / hold you each
Enshrined within my heart
| And time nor distance e'er can break
Loves sacred ties apart.
Though happiness may crown my life,
And blest my mission be-
L oft in memory shall return
And sadly long for thee.
Good bye. old home! Nomo,s your walks
! Shall echo to my tread,
The same as in the happy days
That are forever fed.
/ never more may call you mine
| And i'll your shadow rest,
| When weary with tie cares of life
| And by stern duty pressed.
| An unknown homo awaits me,
Yet go in faith and love,
And trust that it may ever be
A type of that above.

Gods will marked out for me,
But to the end know that las
