VICTORIA, September 2Ssh.-In reply 70 an
address to-day, the Marquis said 1.-THE
President of the Canada Pacific Railroad
telegraphed yesterday to me: The route
through the Rocky Mountains is by the
Kicking HORSE Pass. This has been adopted,
and Major Rogers reports having found the
lookei-for pass through the Selkirk range,
thus making the connection with Kan
loops by the shortest possible
line. The grades for twenty miles on the
other side of the summit, although heavy, are
essier than any Of the American lines. No
tunnel is necessary. HOps to be within
$50 miles Of Kanloops by this tine next year,
Expect to have the whole line from Montreal
to the Pacific ocesn finished by tbs 1st Of
January, 1887

TIE POOR MANS DAY.

Sunday is emphatically the poor mans
day. 1t is the one holiday week which
he has not to buy for himself. 1t is the
one day upon which he can feel in come
degree independent. On that day alone
can he choose his own occupation, dispose
of the hours to suit himself, rest from his
toll, refresh his brain and weary muscles at
once, attend to his family, and do some
thing to civihze himself and those who be-
long to him. The abolition of this Sunday
holiday would do more to brutalize the
masses than any other change that can be
conceived OF. Not even free whisky would
SO surely and hopelessly enslave and de-
grade the telling millions. Yet the Demo
cratic party of California, in State Conven-
ton assembled, has pledged itself not only
to the repeal of the existing Sunday law,
but to the prevention OF any legislation
having the same end in view. This is the
same Democratic party which processes to
be the special champion OF labor. In
adopting the fifth plank of the San Jose
platform it has betrayed its alleged friends
and proteges, and has done what it could
to deliver them over, bound hand and foot,
to mental and physical degradation. There
need not be any question of religion in
this discussion. The inevitable conse-
quence of the success of the Democracy in
their present raid upon Sunday legislation
can be perceived as clearly by the agnostic
as by the Christian. 1t is the abolition of
the rest day at which their plank is aimed;
aud it requires no special keenness to see
that this must follow the repeal of all Sun
day legislation. 1t is the most insidious,
deadly blow to the comfort and happiness
and future prospects of the poor man that
has ever been struck by a political organ
zation, and the people have not been slow
to realize this fact Nor can the Deme.
cratic journals lessen the significance of
their platform by asserting that they,
speaking for themselves, are in favor of the
Sunday holiday. They cannot speak for
their party. They cannot set aside its
official declaration of issues and prin-
ciples. If it carries the State in Novem-
Der the meaning Of its victory will be in.
terpreted in no other way than by the
platform. 1t will be at once claimed and
perforce conceded that the people of Cali.
fornia have consented to the abolition of
Sunday. And therefore there is no escape
from the conclusion that every vote for
the Democratic ticket will be vote for
the abolition of the poor mans holiday.
These are the plain facts of the situation.
We lay them before Democrats az well as
before Republicans. We challenge all
whom it may concern to dispute the prop
osition that Democratic victory must be
regarded as popular Endorsement of the
Democratic position on the Sunday law.
Nor is there any room for doubt as to the
meaning of the Democratic declaration.
There ia the platform, for all to read, and
we confidently affirm that out Of that fifth
plank it ia impossible to deduce any other
conclusion than that which We have stated.

ENGLAND AND THE PORTE.

The Sultan appears to have slowly made
up his mind to send an expedition to
Egypt, but he has acted too late. If he
sends an expedition now the English Gov
eminent will claim the right to control it.
England will not permit the Porte to take
precedence in the Egyptian operations
The dispatch OF Turkish expedition
would, however, bring the question of
holy war to head, for Arab would then
have to engage in hostilities with Moham-
medans. The undated insolence of the rebel
soldier does not at all necessarily indicate
consciousness of his strength. On the con-
trary there are many signs that the Egyp-
tians generally would be glad to return to
their allegiance to the Khedive if they
were not intimidated by the army, and it
may be regarded as certain that at the first
considerable reverse the army itself will
melt away. The Sultan would no doubt
like to get control of Egypt again, and re-
duce it to the condition Of province, but
England cannot permit that, since she is
bound to protect the Suez Canal, and
since she could not do that if the
country were once more abandoned to op.
preston and plumber and anarchy and in.
trigue, which is all that Turkish rule can
bring forth. As the case stands it NAV
easily be understood that England would
prefer to do the work in Egypt single
handed, though she can hardly refuse the
cooperation of the Porte if it is offered.
Turkish troops, however, will, in the event
of ca operation, probably be retained for
garrison purposes, while active operations
will be carried on by the East Indian con-
tingent and the British forces. 1t appears
now that France has concluded not to send
a land force, and though the Porte has be.
gun to talk seriously of embarking troops,
it is by no means certain that anything of
the kind will be done. 1t ia hardly likely
that the Sultan is alarmed at the impudent
threat of Arab, for he knows that
the holy war business ia very
precarious kind of resort, and of course
he has no particular respect for the
military proves of commander who has
never exhibited any genius, and who has
under him an army which the Abyssinians
whipped ignominiously. In fact, dozen

THE CONTRACT SYSTEM.

We print this morning letter written
by Mr.. J. C. Stubs, the General Freight
Agent Of the Central Pacific Rail-
way Company, to the Examiner, in ex-
PLANTATION and vindication of the much
abused contract system. The statement of
Mr.. Stubs speaks for itself. 1t is an en-
tirely lucid and sufficient answer to the
wild and foolish assertions which have
been made by the Examiner and Chronicle.
TIE former of these journals has published
an article upon the letter which only shows
that the Bohemians who conduct that
paper have received orders not to trust the
railroad company with even an appearance
of fairness. The statement of Mr.. Stubs
cannot be met by the Examiner, and it
will convince every candid reader that the
system which has been SO decried is in all
respects perfectly fair to the shippers. The
one fact that every such contract is sought
by the latter, indeed, should be of itself
sufficient to disproVe the monstrous fables
nection. The real fact, however, ia that
merchants constantly endeavor to obtain
commercial advantages over one another
by this means, and that many of them
resent the efforts of the railroad company to
maintain equality between them. How
this ia done we will endeayor to explain
by an illustration. A is hard.
ware merchant, but has a speciality
in, say, axes. OF these he imports several
carloads year, but he does very little in,
gay, shovels. Now A will go to the rail
road company and negotiate for special
contract, and when he and the freight
agent are making the rates on the several
articles comprising the schedule, he will
ask for very low rate on axes. To obtain
this he is perfectly willing that the rates
shall be marked up on goods of which he
imports comparatively little, and he will
casually suggest that he can stand high
rate Oh shovols. He does this well know
ing that his neighber B has speciality in
shOvels. Next day B comes in to get
special contract, and the freight agent at
once shows him the contract made with A.
He glances down it and perceives that
shoyels have been marked up, and of
course inquiries the reason. The agent can
only reply that A himself proposed the ar.
rangement. "And we'll he might" saws
B. For while he knows that l import
Twenty carloads of shovels every year,
she himself does not sell half carload p
OF course it is impossible for railroad
freight agent to understand the inside of
every mans business. As Mr.. Stubs
says, the shippers themselves for the most
part make their own rates, simply because
they alone can tell what arrangements it
will pay them to make. But the shippers
often undertake to get the better of the
railroad company, and it is to defeat these
combinations that it has been found neces-
aary to make the contracts as binding as
possible. Two merchants, for instance,
viii agree between themselves to make

SAN FRANCISCO NEWS.

The David Crockett arrived Thursday,
l57 days from New York. She encouu-
tered fearful gale on May Both, in lati-
course Of which her main bulwarks and
nearly all her monkey.rail were stove in,
and other damage was sustained.
A week ago Henry A. Plate was arrested
on complaint of Mrs d. M. Klumpke, his
aunt, who charged him with the embezzle-
ment OF s4,479 SO, which she claimed she
authorized him to collect. Thursday,
when the case was called in Judge Rix's
Court, prosecuting attorney Blauey said
@ From facts which | have learned since
the arrest of Mr.. Plate | am satisfied that
there should be no further proceedings in
this case; therefore now move for dis
rnissal." The motion was granted.
The body of man which had been in
the water for about eight days was found
on the beach, near Point Lobos, by George
Law, yesterday. and taken to the Morgue.
The deceased is apparently young man,
with black hair, clean shaver face, heavy
set, five feet seven inches in hight. He
wore blue and white checked cotton shirt,
and black diagonal pants, no coat or vest.
The remains have been in the water more
than week or ten days. Ia his shirt

engraved upon it.
But little information has been cleaned
with reference to the shooting Of Mrs.
Florence Sachs by her husband, in addition
to that already given. Inquiry elected the
fact that Mrs. Sachs was progressing nice

sicisn no one besides her immediate rela-
tives was admitted to her room Since the
unfortunate affair occurred Mrs. Shannon,
her mother, has been in constant attendance
upon her. Samuel l. Sachs remained yes-
terday ensconced in his nncles mansion,
No. 6lj Leavenworth street, and all efforts
to see aim proved unavailing. What the
outcome of the event will be is rather diff
cult to predict at present, as friends Of the
family have but slight hopes of q recon.
Citation. All in any way connected with
the parties are reserved and taciturn, the
only desire manifested by them being to
keep this unfortunate domestic trouble
from gaining further publicity
The tramp Triumph landed all but 800
of her cargo OF 795 coolies Thursday morn
ing on the seawall. Twelve who shipped
for Portland came ashore here, and re-
manned ashore, possibly attracted by the
superior beauties of Chinatown life to a
coastwise trip to Oregon. The Triumph
proceeds to Portland on Saturday. The
nine women aboard of her will be allowed
to land without much objection from the
Custon-house authorities Yesterday Dep
uty inspector of Port Brown said that
unless he obtained some positive evidence
that the women were brought here under
contract, he should not attempt to detain
them, in the face of Judge Hofman's de-
cisions. The Measurer of Hulls was also
at work on the Triumph yesterday, but
the recent decision in the matter OF libels
against other tramps for misconstruction Of
berths makes the Measurer's work unneces-
sary in the case of the Triumph.

PRICES HEEs AND ELSEWHERE.


We printed yesterday a letter from an
Englishman who is familiar with the retail
grocery business in England and the
United States, and who gave series Of
illustrations of the much higher scale of
prices paid for various necessary articles
in this country. One of the most remark
able points made by our correspondent,
however, was in relation to canned salmon.
Now this is put up on the spot, as we may
say. Yet it appears that whereas it is
retailed in Liverpool at II cents per can,
it is sold for 20 cents in California. It can
not be shown that the higher price here Is
due to railroad extortion," for no freight
is paid on it before it is sold in this mar
ket. Yet as we have seen it is possible to
take these goods all the way to Liverpool,
and then sell them cents a can cheaper
than they are bought in Sacramento.

The Pennsylvania Independents have

that they cannot agree to terms which

They are right. Had they allowed them

PREPARING TO COME DOVE.

It looks as though Arab was preparing
to come down before he is shot at. He ia
said to have expressed a desire to sur
render to somebody, provided he can OBJ.
tain satisfactory terms. Under the cir
cumstanceH it will probably not be though t
safe to establish such an awkward prece-
dent, though if Turkey was alone in the
affair no doubt she would accept the pro-
posal, and then cause Arab to be quietly
put ont of the way as soon as ne had de-
ivored himself. As it is, he will apparently
have to fight, unless he is prepared to sur
render without conditions, or at best on
the promise of his life.
