WORDS VS.. DEEDs.

At the sand lots ON Sunday last reso-
luton was adopted against the selection of
Thomas Beck as Secretary of the Railroad
Commission, on the ground that he was a
radical opponent to the interest of the
Workingmen. In justice to Mr.. Beck we
desire to place the following article from
the Folsom Telegraph side by side with
said resolutions, and ask the public to
Judge who is the truest friend of the work
ingman, he who acts or he who talks:
HELPING THE LABoRERs.
A short time ago the contractors who are
building the Branch Prison at Folsom were
found to be owing the laborers for over two
months work, and, failing to settle with
the men, complaint was made by the latter
to Governor Irwin and Secretary Beck, who
went at once to Folsom and told the con-
tractors they must pay the men, or the
Governor and Secretary would take the
matter into their own hands. The con-
tractors thereupon assigned to Secretary
Beck enough money to pay the men in full.
and agreed to assign from month to month
sufficient sum to pay their monthly wages.
The efforts of Governor Irwin and Secre-
tary Beck in behalf of those workingmeu
resulted in substantial benefits for them,
for which they are not ungrateful. At a
special meeting of the Stone-cutters Branch
OF the International Union, held at Fol-
son. February II, 1879, the following reso-
lutions were unanimously adopted:
Resolred That in consideration Of the interes
and exerton OF his Excellency. Governor IRWIN, in
defending and adjusting our grievances, sincerely
thank him, and also for his generous counsel and
exertions in aiding to settle difficulties at the
Branch Prison.
WHEREAS, The Hon. Thomas Beck Secretary of
State through his indomitable energy and integrity
came forward to right the wrongs of the working
men at the Branch Prison, we place him before the
public as friend OF the workingnen throughout the
State of California and as an honorable gentleman
he having raised himself by his integrity and in
tell !ence from a mechanic to the honorable posi-
ton he occupies; and We as mechanics and
wo-kingmen, will sustain him in that whatever
position he may hereafter occupy.
ReSolred That we offer our thanks to ". Dun
can for his uniform Kindness, and we believe he is
honest and capable officer for the position that he
now holds as Superintendent of Public Buildings

THE ENCYCLOPEDIA BaIrANN1c.

We have received several inquiries of
late in regard to the genuineness of that
edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica
which bears the name of Samuel L. Hall
on the title-page, and which is issued by
the firm of Charles Scribner's Sons, New
York. In consequence of an alteration in
some of the details, introduced after the
plates were cast, some confusion on this
matter has arisen, and it has been availed
of by the agents of the pirated edition
to cast doubt upon the genuineness of
this one. Having made careful inquiry
into the circumstances, however, and
verified the statements of the local
agents, we are now satisfied that the
Hall Scribner edition is what it is
represented to be, namely, an edi-
ton printed from the original plates
of the English Edinburgh edition, but
on somewhat thinner and smaller paper.
There are, therefore, two genuine editions
in this country: that bearing the imprint of
Little, Brown & Co., Boston, and which is
the English original edition without any
change of form; and that bearing the i'm
print of Samuel L. Hall, published by
Charles Scribner's Sons, and which is
somewhat smaller than the other, but iden-
teal with it in matter and illustrations.
The pirated edition is published by j. NJ.
Stoddart, of Philadelphia, and as that is
stolen bodily, of course there can be no
guarantee for its integrity or accuracy.
We may add that the Hall-Scribner edition
was prepared by the English publishers for
the express purpose of counteracting the
piracy of the PhiladeIphia firm.

Two Paisley weavers went down to Gou-

cautioned their better halves to be sure
and go out great deal, and also to drink

Of this State with view to Congressional
action on the debris question, by alleging
that Congress has never yet made an ap-

SAN FRANCIsCo, January 21st.-A Cal

a number of savings banks that have gone to
the bad in the last two years, with regard to
the probability of the depositors getting any
thing out of the wrecks, with the following
result
The Secretary OF the Masonic Bank said
affairs were progressing as favorably as the
present condition of business would permit
Fifty per cent. had been paid depositors, and
loans were being paid off.
The Secretary of the rehabilitated French
Savings Bank said his bank appeared to be
receiving its full share of public patronage,
and the assets of the old bank were turning
out remarkably well had paid depositors II
per cent, and would pay 5 per cent. more in
February.
The former Cashier of the defunct Market
Street Savings Bank had but little to report,
and that not of particularly favorable ma
ture; but that bank cut small business
figure, its total liabilities being only $50, 0O0
The Dime Savings Bank is in much the
same condition, waiting for a rise in real
estate to enable them to realize to better ad-
vantage on the third mortgage on piece of
real estate; could give no encouragement
regarding future dividends for depositors.

Terrific Gollisry Explosion = LamentabIe
Loss of Life
FOURTH DISPATCH.l

LONDON, january 2lst.-Five more bodies
have been recovered. Twenty others were
found in the pit. The fire raging in the pit
since the disaster binders the efforts of the
explorers, and precludes all hope of any more
victims being rescued alive.
The latest report places the total number
OF deaths at seventy. Another explosion is
fea-ed.
One of the corpses has lost part of the
head, others were burned to cinders, while
some appear to have been killed by concus-
sion. Gangs of volunteers are descending
frequently. The part of the Lycett colliery
where the explosion occurred is known as
Fair Lady pit, and is the same in which six
men were killed last autumn. The coal be,
longs to the Bandury or fiery seam, in which
all OF the great Stafforshire explosions have
occurred.
