A TIMELY ARTICLE.

Several times recently, in view Of the
methods adopted to incite animosity be-
tween the people and the transporters of
the country, we have pointed out and
dweIt upon the fundamental principles I'M

producer and carrier, and which no legisia-
ton can disturb without visiting meal.
culable injury upon the former. We have
demonstrated the mutually of these inter
ests, and the demagogues have been silent
in the presence of the truth. 1t is
striking coincidence that leading journal
on the other side of the continent, in re-
cent article published about the same
period should have elaborated precisely
similar truths. We present this morning
a paper from the Chicago Times of Febru-
airy 18th, which every citizen who has the
welfare Of the State az heart should care.
fully peruse. It demonstrates beyond the
possibility of contradiction how commerce
puts its seal of approval upon the texts
that low cost Of transportation fosters pro-
duction that the transporter is nowhere
so blind to his own interests as to lose
sight of that fact, and that in increased
production he finds his greatest advantage.
The writer clearly shows that the saving
by reduction in freight charges to the peo-
pie, by reason of railroad construction be-
tween 1866 and 1882, has more than equaled
all the money cost of the war of the re-
bellion, and that the practical economies in
the administration of railroad affairs have
resulted from inaexible necessity to meet
the exigencies Of commerce, He considers
also the question Of railroad consolidation.
and it's economic effects upon trade and
production, and also dwells upon the reia-
ton the carriers of the country bear TO
other employers and wage payers, and
proves conclusively that in this whole mat
ter of carriage by rail natural laws are
stronger than human agencies, and that
the most suicidal of all policies are those
that permit ignorance and prejudice to
shape the laws affecting the mutual inter-
ests and relations of producer and trans
porter.

The conception Of divinity is so sensuous
as to debase and corrupt any sentiment that
may gather round it. Still, the ordinary
Hindu OF to-day has vague impression
that after death he will be absorbed bedv
and soul into supreme being who is be-
yond all the gods and go5desses. But his
notion OF a blessed reward for virtue. or of
future punishment for sin, is so shadowy
as to be almost evanescent. Many obsery-
ers have thought that it is this want OF &C.
tive belief in judgment to come which
causes the natives to face inevitable death
with such stole calmness. The Hindus
have, indeed, moral code binding on their
conscience and conduct; they seldom or
never ask themselves whether this code il

LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY.

A decision of interest comes from New
Jersey Court, where it was given in a
charge to Grand Jury. 1t was held that
where a man who has been acting as a
nurse in case of infectious disease, know
ing it to be such, goes among others, con-
scious that be carried about him the germs
of a contagious disease, and thus recklessly
exposes the lives and health of others, he
commits public nuisance, is a criminal,
and may be held answerable for the results
of his conduct. The Court also held that
where one thus knowingly communicates
disease to another, and death results, the
crime is granddaughter,

NOT A SHADOW OF TRUTH IN IT.

a northern country exchange announces
that this Journal has been sold to the
Democracy. It is sufficient to say that
there is not word of truth in the
statement, and if any such rumor has
prevailed, it was without the slightest
foundation. The RECORD UNION and
WEEKLY UNION were never further from
the contingency of such a transfer,
and never enjoyed wider circulation or
more extended patronage than now. The
false statement referred to is of that
character to which nearly all prominent
journals are periodically subject.

STRANGE SPECTACLE.

The spectacle of town Alderman rising

Federal Government for the impeachment

San Francisco of the currentweek, And this
silly and ludicrous exhibition was made be

United States Circuit Court had committed

anything else to the present unrest. In

Now Of these 979 cars how many does
the Chronicle suppose went to Sumner to
get the produce, loaded, and how many
empty? We have no means of ascertain.
ing that fact exceptwe had the tonnsgere re-
ceipts at Sumner, and assume that when
ever a car went in loaded there was pro-
duce ready to send it out loaded. But if
we assume that there went to Sumner
loaded three cars per week-which we
much doubt-and that of the TO- Cos 4.5 tons
sufficient was ready for those cars each
week, then we have loo cars that had loads
of ten tons each both ways, leaving S23
cars TO 90 to Sumner on an empty haul,
which means an Improbable haul. In
the East, where the density of the
population is great and the exchange
of merchandise correspo ndingly great, the
empty haul Is reduced to the minimum.
But how is it in California? How is it in
thiDly-settled regions traversed by the line
leading into Kern county? The road runs
through Contra Costa, San joaquin, Fresno,
MERGED, Stanislaus, Tulare and Kern, If,
FOR liberalty's sake, we take the population
of those counties to their uttermost borders,
and away beyond Sumner, over the Te-
hacapi mountains, it aggregates but II ,642,
and the square miles to the EXTREMIST lin
its amount to but 2S, IVA. This gives
population to square mile of about two
and hree.fourths persons upon whom the
transporter must most depend for way
traffic. How is it with the great lines at
the East, such as the Pittsburg, Fort
Wayne and Chicago, Michigan Southern,
ETC.? They traverse chains of counties
where the population is to the square mile,
Michigan, IS 81 Ohio, S002; Pennsyl-
vania, 90 10; Illinois, So Sc; New York,
l0S.lI6. The truth is, the haul of produce
from Kern county proved the falsity OF
Mr.. Foote'S charges; proved that the rail
way promoted culture of the soil proved
that the rate per ton per mile was astonish-
ingly low and a complete ignoring OF the
empty haul; proved that the carrier is doing
its utmost to develop the producer, and
that their interests are mutual and would
need no artificial adjustment if the mercy
of heaven was not great which spares the
demagogue and anti-railroad bowler to vex
the sons of men.

Staple STATEMENTS PLAINLY WORRIED

Commissioner Foote and his anonymous
correspondents declared the people of
Kern were "cinched so tightly by the
railroad transporters that they could not
cultivate ordinary articles of produce to
send to market, and were therefore COM
PEELED to raise stock and drive it to market.
Manager Towne, to show the falsity of the
charge, gave the figures of shipments by
rail from Sumner, single station in Kern
county, for one year tlSS2l in cattle, sheep,
hogs, hay, -four, wool and grain. These
aggregated 81, 1910 pounds. The force
of this reply was such as to completely
silence the "pack for few days. At
last the San Francisco Chronicle attempted
feeble response, and on Wednesday adj.
mitted the correctness Of the figures. but

invite attention.
We will say at the outset that we
partially if not fully indorse the selec
tion though we are free to say that the
greatest laying variety of fowls is eX-
cluded (LeghOrns). The other great
qualities are all there, namely, size,
early maturity, good mothers, good
sitters, etc. We know it is claimed by
some that Plymouth Rocks will lay as
many eggs during the season as Leg
horns, but we hardly think this state
ment would be generally received by
the poultry fraternity as being correct.
And first let us look ut the Plymouth
Rocks, our favorite kind and the only
breed that we keep. BOrland has well
said of this variety that both fanciers
and farmers admit that these beautiful
and meritOriOus fowls possess more eX-
cellent qualities and less faults than
any other variety. They are superior
layers-laying almost constantly, both
summer and winter; are excellent table

ers, for so large Il fowl; easily confined
and bear confinement well are good
settlers, and the very best of mothers,
but do not want to sit often; and by
all odds the most profitable to raise
for eggs or for market" So says a
champion of the Plymouth Rocks. He
considers them the best variety for
eggs. We should not agree with him.
| In regard to light Brahmas we can say
that they are probably the greatest OF
all sitters and among the best of all va
rieties for winter layers. Partridge
/ Cochins are also fine winter layers and
very good mothers and sit very well
but not often. If we had included

all of the good qualities known to

and will satisfy even the most eXacting
of poultry breeders.
Size is secured in all of the varieties
and early maturity in the PlymoEtl
Rocks and partridge Cochins. For the
market all of them have qualities that
are desirable-the flesh is as fine IA,
any, while the color of the skin has

..MOre Rum Drank in Vermont

1t is not unusual to hear an OppO-

is more rum drank in Vermont. and
even in Woodstock, under the present
law than in old times. when there was
no liquor law and before temperance
came to he recognized as one of the
Christian virtues. The claim is pre-
pOStcrouS in the extreme. In the early
days every merchant kept his cellar
stocked with rum, which was regu-
larry furnished To all customers, and in
not few cases it was the chief item in
trade. An old merchant informed us
that he sold from his store in Wood
stock, in one year, ninety hogsheadS
of rum. and he didn't claim to he the
leading merchant in town, either. In
later times still Rice Il Mower pur-
chased and sold in one year SI0,OOO

are those in our midst who can testify
that in those days rum flowed almost

pie can recall these occasions and their
attendant drunkenness, and they know
that il is ridiculous to say that there is
more rum drank now than there was
