The Old settlers party given at
Hottie Roy, Wednesday evening was a
decided success in every particular,
and is pronounced as being one OF the
most enjoyable parties Of the season.
One hundred and thirty persons, par
took of an elegant supper, before and
after which about tifty-6ve couples en-
joyed themselves by dancing to the
music of professors Whitesides and
Schilling's orchestra's. Both the din
ing and office were occupied by
the dancers. Many of the old Supe-
riorites and there friends now living at
Duluth were present.

CUMBERLAND, Wis, Jan. IT, The
last rail has been laid on the Chippe-
wa Falls & Northern railway and the
road is now completed, except some
ballasting, the entire length between
Eau Claire and Superior City.
The above is very.gratitying piece
of news indeed. Superior is now with
in eighteen hours of Chicago by a
through and direct line, over which
through trains will likely be running
within few weeks. The new route
will be of great advantage to the
Northern Pacific in that it furnishes
that road direct eastern outlet from
this point. There should be much re-
joicing at the head Of the lake over
the opening of the new hne.

The civil service system has justified it.
self in striking manner. We announced
few days ago that Chairman Cooper, of
the Republican Committee Of Pennsylva-
MIA, had sent circulars to all Pennsylva-
mans in the employ of the Government,
soliciting voluntary contributions to the
campaign fund for that STATE. OF course
he dwelt upon the word voluntary :"
strongly, and hedged so nicely that Com
missioner Eaton was forced to confess the
letter of the law forbidding assessments
had not been violated, though he was Of
tie opinion that its spirit had been in.
vaded. But it turns out the employees feel
so secure from punishment at the hands of
the political bosses that they have, with
few exceptions, declined to be "cinched,
and Mr.. Cooper, in consequence, gnsws
file. He will now make his appeal, as he
should have done in the first instance, to
the men of the party generally and openly,
and solicit from them the aid necessary to
defray legitimate expenses of the cam.
psign, and probably the office-holders will
then contribute, as members of the party,
such sums as their partisanship may die
tate, but nothing as bonus for their
places, or as shield against removal.

SOME sIaSIPIcANF COMPARISONS

The anti.railroad press of California has
been loud in its praises and fulsome in its
batteries OF Willard and the Northern Pa
oiic Railroad syatem. The completion of
the Northern road was welcomed, its con-
struction encouraged aud ita leading spirits
praised and fAttered by such mslignants
as the Examiner and Chronicle.
The California railroad system had in.
Cured the displeasure of these papers. 1t
fell heir to the especial enmity of Hearst
because it would not lend itself to make
him Governor. Behind this statement of
fact there is ample aud irrsfragible evi.
dence. The hostility of the Chronicle may
be accounted for in many ways, none OF
which will give it credit for aims or me-
tives relating to the public good. In proof
of this the well known fact that it has
been the journalistic attorney for hire and
the organ of the Spring Valley water mo.
nopoly, and that it has been in the pay OF
this monopoly for many years, will be con.
elusive evidence.
But the Northern Pacific is now com.
pleted. Its freight and passenger schedules
have gone into operation. The fulfllmeni
of tie promises are now due. Sham pre-.
lenses of what the road will do must now
give place to the real facts of what it is
doing. Already a murmur of discomfort
arises from the press in Washington Ter.
ritory and Oregon. For instance, daily
journal published as Walla Walla prints an
exhibit of the freight rates charged by the
Central Pacific, Southern Pacific and the
Northern Pacific, from which the following
comparisons are taken for twenty stations,
with given distances from the terminal

A VERY PROPER APPROVAL.

Our evening contemporary editorially
quotes from the Red Bluff Peoples Cause
approvingly the following words in sup
port of the recent action of the State
Board of Equalization
"While in this county tho raising of the
assessment roll will work some hardship,
we believe it was wise act. It forooa
San Francisco to a valuation somewhat
nearer true values of property there, and
viii next year-and here is the great ben,
efit-seoure to the State that which the law
aims at, equality in the system of assessing
assessment in proportion to value.
We concur. We thought that was about
the right view to takeof the matterwhen We
wrote the above editorial paragraph, and
which first appeared in the REcoRD. UNION,
and will be found in our issue of the 18th
instant. Our evening contemporary car
hereafter approve of the expressions of the
RECORD. UNION at shorter range by the ex.

From the above showing, which will re-
pay for careful examination, it will be seen
that for distance of 80 miles the rate of
the Central Pacific is 81 25; for practically
the same distance on the Southern Pacific
3 10, and for the same distance on the
Northern Pacific S.. The comparisons.
however, show for themselves without re-
capitulation.
The leading Significance of all this
is, that whereas heretofore the Ciroa.
icle and Eraaaiser have extolled the
Norshern Pacific and held it up as model
of bensvolenoe and public-spirised manage
ment, they have refused to publish or give
oredence to the statement thss the Central
