guently disappeared in order that Mrs.

Railroad Charges in California.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Much has been said by the Chronicle
about the extortiorate rates charged by
the Southern Pacific railroad on fruit
and other produce shipped to Arizona
and New Mexico, bu- we donbt whether
full Justice has been done to the subject,
80 Internal is the ingenuity Of the mon
opoly in devising new schemes to plum
der the farmer. A fruit growerin Pom
ona, Los Angeles county, recently ship
ped twenty boxes of apples to a COM
mission house in Tucson. The fruit was
sold for $50. Out of this amount the
railroad company took % 10, or trifle
over..56 per cent. of the entire value of
the consignment. When the farmer
had paid com mission, drayage and 81
for his boxes, the net proceeds for the
twenty boxes of fruit will be the beggar-
~ sum of $14 75-scarcely gu icient to
cover expenses. This is given because
it is bona fide case, we'll voucned for,
and because it is type of hundreds of
cases which occur during each season.
Eastern tourists often wonder that the
California farmer does not take advan-
tage of the large and growing market in
Arizona and New Mexico. This little
transaction given above explains fully
why they have no stomach for the
business. No man cares to raise fruit or
grain, ship it to market and then pay
more than half the proceeds to the rail-
road company that hau1s it to xoayket.

THE COMING CONGRESS.
Fellow citizens, we stand upon the
threshold of new congress. In few
days body of men intrusted with the
law-making power and fresh from the
people will assemble in the national
capital. The oracles are full of specu-
lations what they will do and what
they will not do. The wiseacres are
full of counsels what they ought to do
and what they ought not to do. The
protectionists exclaim, with one voice,
"DOn't touch the tariff, for that will
disturb the business of the country"
Time-serving democrats echo this with
a variation. "Don't touch the tariff "
they say, 'lest it lose us the presiden-
tial election" Now, being conserva-
tive. do not want to hurt the business
Of the country, and, being democrat,
do want to carry the next presidential
election; but, being above all, seeker
after truth, l ask myself how the re-
vision OF error and the righting of
wrong are going to hurt the business
of the country, and why the faithful
discharge Of its duty will cost the dem
ocratic party the presidency. | have
never heard that Peter made anything
by denying his Maker, and confess !
am unable to see how the democratic
party is to make anything by denying
