What reuarkabls, after all that has been
sid Of the poverty and barrenuess of
the route crossed by the Central and
Union Pacific. that less than 10 per
cent Of the profits on the trafzc of these
lines are derived from the through b1s-
iness. while the local traffic has increas-
ed at a RAPID rate, Notwithstanding the
favoritism OK the Central Pacific to-
wards San Francisco" The method by
which the profits on local traffic have
been made 70 80 largely exceed those on
through business il still, more remark
able. This has mainly, or al lsas.
largely, been accomplished by a sys-
tematie and Outrageous taxation of the
interior, unprecedented and absolutely
inexcusable. large portion of these
proits has been ex.cted from helpless
interior communities for service no.
performed. Tie whole State Of Neyada
has for years been subjected to g most
unwarrar.ed and into.eraole system o.:
discrimination in favor Of tide water
places. Local charges to the amount
OF hundreds Of dollars per carioad,-in
many cases exceeding the total through
charges SHAVE been added to expense
bills on freights consigned TO points in
that State without the faintest shadow
Of justice, and in 6erogat;on of every
principle Of fair dealing. On carloads
OF freight delivered in the interior,
charges have been made and collected
for hundreds of miles Of service not
performed and credited TO local traffic
earnings. A merchant in Nevada buy
ing goods in Chicago was thus forced
to pay twice the amour. of freight
charged the San Francisco or Sarra-
mento merchant, while the company
performed for him far less service.
Could the aggregate of so called local
freights. thus upiustly exacted from in
terror points along the line of tie Gen.
trail Pacific Railroad. be made known
it would astound the public. 1t is no
wonder that the local traffic receipts so
largely exceed those of through bust
ress, when tina system under which
they have been extorted il once compre-
tended. Neither is it all surprising that
under such scheme of plumber enough
loot" has been secured in ten years to
build and stock new and independent
line of railroad frora San Francisco to
the Gulf Of Mexico. Fairly and with
equitable dealings the local profits of the
Central Pacific Railroad should exceed
the profits on its through traffic, but not
in the proportion of nine to one by any
means. That railroad sraverses a re-
gion where business points are far apart
and local charges are properly higher
than in lmore thickly settled localities.
Ut those there has never been especial
complaint. The local business Of the
road in California Is increasing yearly,
and must 20 continue, in spite of the
determinations which there prevail but
not to 30 great an extent as in her sister
Just east Of the Sierras. The time is
coming when the grip of this anacon-
da will be unfastsned from the body Of
that oppressed commonwealth, whose
people viii hail with eager delight the
advent Of another transcontineutal line
of road.

"Divergencies of opinion in the
Democratic party in regard to the tariff
are mentioned as Q reassn why it should
not undertake to reduce the taxes at
the coming session of Congress. There
are similar divergence" in that party
in regard to civil service reform, the
silver dollar and pretty much every
other question of importance in which
the country is interested. It seems to
be united upon nothing, except that it
wants the offices. But is the country
expected to give the Democratic party
control of the Government without
knowing Whist its policy is in regard 10
the chief concerns of Government /?
What makes it party? And what is
it "hers for. anyhow The comixe
session Of Congress ought to tell.

HOW ALCOHOL AFFECTS THE HEART.

DIR. y. Is. Richardson, OF London,
the noted physician. says he WAS re
Gently able to convey a considerable
amount of conviction to an intelli
gent scholar by simple experiment.
The scholar was singing the praises
of the ''ruddy bumper" and saying
he could not get through the day
without it, when DIR. Richardson said
to him:
"Will you be good enough to feel
my pulse as | stand here?'
He did SO. l said: Count it care
fully; what does it say?"
"Your pulse says seventy four
[ then sat down in chair and
asked him to count it again. lie did
so, and said: Your pulse has gone
down to seventy"
l then laid down on the lounge, and
said: "Will you take it again.
He replied: "Why, it is only sixty
four: what an extraordinary thing
l then said: "When You lie down at
night, that is the way nature gives
your heart rest. You know nothing
about it. but that beating organ is
resting to that extent; and if you
reckon it up, it is great deal of rest,
because i'll lying down the heart is
doing ten strokes less minute.
Multiply that by GO and it is GOO;
multiply it by eight hours, and with
in fraction it is 5000 strokes differ
ent; and as the heart is throwing six
ounces of blood at every stroke, it
makes a difference Of 10000 ounces
of liftings during the night. When |
lie down at night without any alec
hol, that is the rest my heart gets.
But when you take your wine or
grog you do not allow that rest, for
the influence of alcohol is TO increase
the number of strokes. and instead of
getting this rest you put on some
thing like 1900 extra strokes, and
the result is you rise up very secdy
and unfit for the next days work till
you have taken a little more of the
''ruddy bumper" which you say is
the soul of man below His wife ac-
knowledged that this was perfectly
true. He began to reckon up those
figures. and found what it meant lift
ing up AN ounce SO many thousand
times, and the result was, he became
total abstainer, with every benefit
to his health, and, as he admits, to his
happiness. [ would like those who
take stimulants to give them rest.
Just to take the opposite side of the
question into consideration and see
how the two positions fit together
