Employees, Insurance Company.

A mutual benefit and insurance com
pany, known as the Railroad Mutual
Benefit Association, is maintained by the
employees of the In and First Division
G. C. s. I. c. railroad companies. John F.
Miller is the President and T. c. Barrett,
of Columbus, Secretary and Treasurer.
The object is to provide insurance for
disabled employees and their widows.
An assessment of one dollar is made on
each member in case of death, and an
assessment of fifty cents in case of disa-
bility. The companies do not compel
their men to join as the Baltimore and
Ohio company does but encourages them
to do so as protection to their families.
A similar organization among the EN-.
ployes of factories would be a good
thing, and the workmen st several shops
could club together and form very
respectable company. Such scheme Is
being talked of.

The Land League club.

Met as usual yesterday afternoon, but the
time was chiefly occupied with business
matters. James Smelser addressed the
meeting. He held the doctrine that the
land was the common property of the
Nation, equally with light, air and water.
He believed the rights of labor would
never be completely attained until this
doctrine was recognized, and said Ireland
bid fair to be the pioneer in the new re-
form Joseph Quinn, was then called
for, and sang "Thatched Cottage on the
HILL" in his very best style. He was
enthusiastically applauded. The club
now numbers one hundred and twenty
members and is in prosperous con-

PROPOSED ORGANIZATION 0E A PACIFIC
SIGNAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT.

We clip the following from late
number of the S. F. Bulletin as it
interests all the people of this coast.
Perhaps with a better and more
thorough, because more numerous
establishment of signal stations on
this coast the frequent and disas-
ferrous loss Of life and property upon
the sea along our rugged and dam
gerous coast, may be somewhat
abated. sLieutenant G. E. Kilbourne,
U. s. A., an officer in the Signal
Service Department, arrived in this
city yesterday on visit which has
special reference to a proposition of
General Hazen, Chief of the Bureau
at Washington, to make separate
and distinct Signal Service Depart
ment of the Pacific Coast. This
measure commends itself to General
Hazen's judgement for various reas-
ons, but particularly the two follow
ing: First-The climatic or meteor
illogical variations of this coast,
which require local set of rules to
work by and, second, the great
frequency of failures in the trans
mission of reports from Pacific
Coast Stations to the Bureau at
Washington, especially the midnight
reports, which more than half the
time are not received there. At
present there are Signal Service
Stations on this coast at Olympia
and Portland, Oregon; Red Bluff,
Roseburgs Sacramento, San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles, Visalla and San
Diego, California, and some along
the line of the northern telegraph
through Idaho. Lieutenant Kilbourne
will inspect these stations. He will
also visit other points, where new
stations will be required, if q seperate
Department should be made of this
coast.

The Oregonian of the 21st quotes
ON correspondent of the GAZETTE
published last week and then finds
ault with him, not for the informs-
hon he gives concerning the difficult
Ties experienced by vessels visiting
the Columbia, but because he took j.
for granted that the Portland papers
would not like to publish his letter,
since it might be considered as detri.
mental to the interests of that city,
snd then proceeds in tone of injured
innocence to claim total immunity
from such narrow-mindedness; for
they are far above that you kno3.
Such course, it says may do for
journals which are advocates OF
special localities and interests, but il
will not do for true newspaper
Oh, consistency! It was about two
months ago that the true newspape

time our representatives in congress
should insist upon having the gov
eminent appropriations for Oregon

divided up and squandered at such
places as Coos bay, Yavuina, Colum-
bia- bar and the Cascade locks" And
new,they would have us believe they
never stoop so low as that.
It was certainly but natural for our
correspondent to arrive at the conclu
sion to which he did, because those
papers had never made known the
facts which he learned for the first
time upon bis arrival in the Colum-
bia: and he would not presume SO
much ignorance on their part as that
they should know nothing concern

ENGLISH CAPITAL AND SYDlCAIES.

htN0GtVts 0ht Ne SAseS
English capitalists are looking after
opportunities for investments In coal
mines, gravel mines, quartz mines and
railroads. They have recently bought
$4,000 acres of coal lands in Ohio,
A gravel mine in Calaveras county, in
this State, recently sold in London for
ESQ, 1000, and number quartz mines
have recently been sold to English cap
italists. For the last five years Eng
lish capitalists have been very active
in seeking Investments in this country,
if they ear make capital earn 8 per
cent ON safe Investments, they appear
to be prerty well satisfied, A great
deal of capital earns much more, The
English capitalist likes good paying
mine. But he buys no wildcats, A
mine must either pay handsomely or
promise to pay before he puts his money
init 1t must betsaid also that the
English mine-owners manage their
mines in very economical and eff
fieient way. In Australia 'quarts
reefs" are made to pay handsomely
where the rock only yields 81 ton.
There is no quarts mine on the Pacific
Coast which has been made to pay with
rock at this low average at least, we
have never heard of one of that grade
which has been put on a paying foan-
dation.
Never before in modern times have
there been SO large accumulations of
capital at the great business centers of
the world. The result has BEEN grad
ual decline of interest, and at the same
time more extended exploration of
new fields of enterprise. The capital
ist can no longer sit down in his Office
and cut off his 10 per cent cupons semi
annually. Even if they were issued at
that rate of interest the premiums now
paid for them bring them down to a
five or six per cent investment. Mines,
railroads and coal lands attract unusu-
al attention on the part Of capitalist.
It has been a remarkable fact that dur.
ing the last few years, long lines of
railroad have been constructed by a few
capitalists. The public has not been
asked for stock subscriptions as in for
mer times. Half dozen men magk
out railroad route and begin to build
the road. The public is informed from
time to time about the progress, but is
not asked to contribute a dollar. i
more money is needed than the capital
lists have in hand, bonds are issued
and these are sold at home or abroad
without difficulty. Of course the
money in such au event comes out o.
the public. But they know little Oh
nothing about the road and care less
SO that they get the stipulated interest
and the principsl when it becomes due
The most encouraging fact of all is that
capital is creating enterprise. That Is
the tendency always, but more SC
when there are large accumulations anG
the rate of interest is downward
Steamships Are multiplied ,coalfields are
bought; gravel and quartz mines become
desirable investments, and all Other
solid properties which will yield better
returns than the present low rates o.
interest on Government securities. II
a company now projects a railroad
through auy part Of the country where
there is fair prospect of business, the
enterprise is not delayed for lack oi

the eulr1EAv TRIAL.

un6 0Otl EAO bnsHss
The trial of Guitteau has been in
progress at Washington for several
days. AS want-of space prevents our
publishing it in detail, we will briefly
state the facts as we gather them
from the kilograms. After two days
session, and the examination OF sew
eral hundred talesmen, a jury of
twelve men were secured, one of
whom is a colored man.
Testimony for the prosecution pro-
cecded by the examination of many
witnesses including Secretary Blaine,
Gen. Swain, Dr. Bliss and other per-
sons of note. The prisoner is repre-
sented as being very boister1us in
court, frequently interruptins the
counsel and passing remarks of ap-
proval and disapproval Of testimony
offered, and at times he is yer y
violent. His honor, Judge Cox, be-
fore whom the case is being tried,
several times threatened to have him
removed and proceed without his
presence, which seemed to have some
effect in quieting him. The general
impression seems to prevail that
although he may be considerably
excited, being of very nervous tenn
permanent, he is doing some shrewd
acting to assist his defense of insani-
ty. In addition to this counsel also
claims that GarfelG's death was
caused by malpr: ctlce.
Interest increases from day to day
and as the possibility of getting clear
becomes more apparent, popular con-
demnation intensifics. 1t was
found necessary to issue tickets of
admission to the court room and
admit none but those holding them
to prevent the obstruction of bust
ness. The prisoner is greeted with
insults, Kisses &c every tine he ap-
pears on his way from court to prison
and threats against his life seem to
increase from day to day. He is
conveyed in close carriage strongly
barred with iron gratings, being one
used by the treasury department for
the transportation of bullion and
bonds. Last Saturday man rode
up to the carriage on a fine blooded
horse and peeping through the gra-
ting to ascertain the exact locality of
Guiteau, fired at him as he rode past.
The ball just grazed his wrist but
did no other damage. The rider put
spurs to his horse and succeeded in
making his escape, although. fired at
by one of the officers. About eight
o'clock in the evening, however, a
man was arrested as the supposed
guilty party.
The telegams say that want of
sympathy for, and strong prejudice
against him seems very prevalent,
even among the best class of citizens.

The national debt is fast assuming
snch diminished proportions as to make
the matter of It's total extinguishment
an absolute certainty in the near future
During the first four months of the
pre>cnt fiscal year $50, ,064, ,345 were
paid, and if that rate is continued to
the close of the year, over $165, coo, COO
will have been paid. The whole amount
has beenpeduced since the close of the
war to less than half it's original pro-
portions, and of course the ratio of
liquidation increases as then debt de-
ereasas since there is so much less IL
terest to be carried. In fact the poor
bondholders are beginning to get alarm
ed, and decry against the policy of so
much of the burden being laid upon
the present generation, and yet the
country flourishes every where and at
no time in the history of our nation
was there less complaint of taxation
than now.

And still another vessel reported
lost on the Columbia bar. The Brit
ish ship, Edith Lorne, attempted to
pass out last Friday without a tug
and struck on the north end of the
middle sands, and is now reported
total loss. She was an iron ship, of
500 tons register, and at the time
was loaded with a $4,000 cargo of
wheat.
Portland papers lay particular
stress on the fact that she attempted
to sail out witho ut tug, and claim
that every loss there yet has been
directly chargable to gross ignorance,
carelessness, or unjustifyable chances
taken. While we are not sufficiently
acquainted with the facts to be able
to express an unqualified opinion, it
does seem as though seafaring men
who have devoted their lives to their
business, and whose reputation, lives
and fortunes are jeopardised in either
of the above instances, could hardly
reasonably be charged with any of
the above mentioned causes in so
many and constantly repeated in
stances. But concerning the latter,
that of reckless chances taken, while
they lay particular stress upon it,
they studiously ignore the fact that
undue chances, if there be such, are
SO frequently due to the extortionate
charges of.the tug and pilot monopo
lies.
AS we remarked in former issue,
we do not want the dangers of the
Columbia magrified or misrepresent-
ed, and we protest against the suici-
dal policy of enlarging upon those
s.angers for the purpose of calling
the attention of congress to the nee
cssity of an appropriation, for wheth-
er we get it or not such course can
never benefit our reputation in for
eign ports,

California seems to be slowly but
steadily reviving from the stagnation
of business SO generally complained of
for several years past. In spite Of the
objections raised and direful forebod-
ings prognosticated concerning the new
constitution, the people seem to have
accepted the new situation and are
earnestly trying to make the best of
their misfortunes whether real or ap
parent. The most sure indication OF
this is the gradual subsiding of the
sand lot agitators.
