CALIFORNIA CENTRAL R. Rim an

CALIFORNIA CENTRAL R. Rim an
article on railroads now under course
of construction, the San Francisco Chron-
cile has the following to say in regard to
the above named railroad. "The Cali.
fornia Central R. r. Co. has been several
times mentioned in these columns, and
its plans and prospects have been partially
oreshadowed. The extent of this scheme
and the full importance of this prospec-
tive line to the city of San Francisco and
the State of California have never yet
been fully and explicitly set forth in the
public prints The representatives of the
company on this coast have been for the
last five months surveying their line from
the Cliff House to Iron City, in Utah,
where it will connect with the Utah
Southern, and by means of the Utah
Southern the Utah Northern and Union
Pacific. At Iron City will concenter
four radiating lines, to meet roads already
built in Colorado to the meridian of Den
yer, or beyond 1.-THE Burlington and
Missouri, which has excited the special
ire of the owners of the Central Pacific.

leo, to the point Of intersection in the
iron district. Colorado papers of recent
date state that the last is being pushed
rapidly westward from Pueblo, which
would indicate that it will reach its des.
tination in advance of the others. Other
important Eastern connections will be
made at Crystal Springs, Southern Ne
vada, through the agency of the Arizona
division of the California Central, which
will be run southeast to the head of navi.
cation on the Colorado to meet them.
That the Union Pacific, Atlantic and Pa
ciic, and Texas and Pacific expect to
reach San Francisco by the California
Central, is now understood to be definite
ly settled.

In noticing the organization of the
court-martial to try Sergeant Mason, the
Chicago Tribune says: "The court
martial to; try the unfortunate soldier
Mason for the crime OF missing Guiteau
has been duly organized, and the officers
and gentlemen of the army are still cry
ing for exemplary punishment in his case.
The discipline of the army, it is said,
must be maintained, and no way SO swift
of maintaining it occurs to the estimable
graduates of West Point as the sending
of this common, ignorant, misguided, but
well.meaning soldier to Jail for a long
term of years Meanwhile, sixteen Of
ficers of the army, who have been sent
enced to dismissal by court-martial for
drunkenness, assaults upon women, and
other like vcnial offenses, continue in
good and regular standing on the army
rolls; and the failure to make examples
of any of them renders it all the more
necessary that justice should be ex-
ecuted relentlessly upon this offender
who is only an enlisted man and has no
friends at court. The object Of making
an example of him would be, of course,
to prevent any other soldier from shoot
ing at future assassin of a future Presi-
dent, contingency SO near and alarming
that it can only be compared to the Attic
ton of the maiden who wept on the cellar
stairs for fear she might get married and
have a baby and that the baby might
die.

the time will come when our people will

the future, are quietly looking on and
doing little or nothing to save the woods.

There is prospect of serious litigation
between the natural heirs of Baron Won
Steuben and the descendants of Benjamin
Walker and William North, his former
aides-de-camp, who was adopted by
him and who inherited, under his will,
property at Steuben, N. Y, and else
where, now said to be worth $40, 900, 900.
Mr.. A. L. Steuben, jr., who represents
the heirs, says the New York "World, J"
has found copy of the Revolutionary
heroes will in which he declared that
sufficient reasons had determined him to
exclude his relations in Europe from any
participation in his estates in America,
and to devise all his property, except a
few personal requests, to his adopted
sons. Mr.. A. L. Steuben jr., claims to
be able to prove that this will was OBJ
tanned by trick and device, and hopes to
be able to secure the property for him
self and the other natural heirs.

No little surprise was created North
and South when it was learned there was
q demand in Europe for Confederate
bonds. People were at loss to account
for the fact that it should be so. The
explanation has been made that there
are one million pounds sterling in the
Bank of England to the credit of the
Southern Confederacy, and the holders
of the bonds expect to draw against this
amount When Jefferson Davis, the
President of the defunct Confederacy,
started on his journey to England a few
months ago, it is very probable that he
had another object in view besides the
publication of his history.

Telegraph Monopoly.

The consolidation Of all the tcle-
graph lines has caused removed agita.
ton on the part of those who desire u
governmental telegraph. Every con-
solidation is marked by nm increased
watering Of stock, until now the COM
binalion represents eighty million dol
lars i'll shares, while its real value is
said to be but twenty millions. A
dividend Of six per cent. on the par
value of this stock means twcnty-four
per cent. on the money actually in.
vested. This extra tax the public ,las
to pay by NAY 81 Increased rates for
. messages. Experts say that no com
pany using the present Morse system
can be formed sufficiently strong to
compete with the existing lines, and
every new company will only be ab-
sorbcd to swell the capital stock Of the
Western Union still further. Reports
also come of Il consolidation Of all the
inter-occanic cables under one man
ngcmcnt. Then the unhlic will NO ON
hrely at the mercy Of the monopolists
"A very serious matter, as almost all
business transactions Of any moment
arc transacted by telegraph.
One remedy proposed is to put all
the lines under government control.
For the past decade the British gov
ernment has managed the telegraph
as well as the postal service, with most
beneficial results. Business has large
~ increased Oh account Of the rctluc-
ton in rates, and smaller communities
have been specially benefited. Two
objections exist to this proposition.
first, that 1t is not Legitimate object
of Federal administration; and sec
ondly, which is Of more importance
that this scheme would give further
increase of sixty or seventy thousand
government employees to an already
Unfortunately swollen civil service.
In Great Britain, government cm-
ployts hold their offices for good be-
havior, and arc not permitted to par
ticipatc in elections, SO that no menace
exists to the political freedom of the
people. The conditions are far differ
ent In the United States. The i'm
rncnsc patronage Of the government,
welded for partisan, and frequently
for corrupt purposes, has already al
most destroyed free elections. Such
an addition as this, especially with the
advantages placed in the hands of the
party in power by the control of this
important means Of communication
would completely nullify the ballot.
Not until this danger be removed
will the people generally consent to q
governmental telegraph system. The
scheme possesses decided merits if this
difficulty is obyiatcd.
Another suggestion is that the gov
ernmcnt prescribe maximum rates.
This is the best solution, provided it is
not in conflict with the law.
Jay Gould and Vanderbilt control
almost all the railways in the United
States and all the telegraph lines.
When they get the Atlantic cables in
addition, they will be the real masters
Of the United States. 1t is high time
that public attention was directed to
them.
