THE decrease of late in the number Of dis
putes over wages has been very noticeable, and
this would by itself be very strong argu-

failures still continues TO be in excess of the
number for the corresponding period in 1881,

weeding-out process has taken a new line

enactments in California, is almost lnvarl-
ably dominated by the bosses, but would 1t
be, or could it be, if the anti-boss element
was as diligent at the polls as duty de-
mands? With the primary surrendered
by Indifference to the bosses, of course con-
yention and election are but formal ratiti-
cations of the will of the bosses. The
Bulletin is convinced that some legal
method for dispossessing the bosses must
soon be projected, and that if legal
method cannot be devised, a radical way
will be invented. 1t is to be hoped no
legal method will be found, for it will but
contribute to the shameful neglect of duty
by the voting class that complains. The
radical way is preferable, since there can
be but one radical way, and that is re-
sumption on the part of the self-respecting
element of the right to nominate, right
that has been abiectly surrendered BY the
stay-at-homes, for whem political d'Ety Is
too mean an ofiice-according to thelr esti
mate. 1t is not capable of successful reff
tation that if the complaining class g
voters would take the management o
party machinery irto their own hands, a
they can do at any time, the boss elemen
would in Il comparatively brief time b.
under foot. There is only the difference
of violence, between a revolution of arm
that changes form of government, and /;
revolution in party that changes and puri
ties party management.

" DIsPOSSESSING THE BOSSES y

The San Francisco Bulletin says: " Fame
and immortality await the statesman who
devises system by which the people shall
in all cases select their public servants,
As rule they have now only a choice be-
tween the nominations of rival political
organizations. In making these nomina-
tons they have practically no voice An
almost infinite variety of expedients has
been gotten up by the bosses for the pur-
pose Of shutting them out" 1t is not the
first time that this has been said. Rene
dies innumerable have been proposed for
the evil complained OF, but the major por-
ton Of them have been fatally defective in
this, that they have sought by law or
strategy to do that which can be accom-
plished by the free will and straight for
ward action of the voter only. Such men
as the late John q. Holland and other
clear thinkers have presented a feasible
remedial system, and the only one that can
by any possibility succeed. Its simplicity,
however, has not commended it to notice
In politics, as in disease, men imagine that
only drastic remedies are valuable; unless
the medicine is nauseous we are apt to
accord it little merit. The people will, in
all cases, select their public servants, if
the people, in all eases, do their duty. 1t
is the failure to discharge the full duty of
citizenship that breeds the ills of bossism.
In saying this ii is not to be implied that
the full exercise of the prcrogative of
citizenship will secure the best men for
place. 1t happens very often that the
vicious class outnumbers the clearly class
in certain districts But even then, if
all good citizens have done full duty no
reproach can attach to them that the better
element was outnumbered, for the official
will have been chosen by the people, even
though half Of them, or more, have sold
their birthright to the bosses. That the
choice is so frequently only between
two Objectionable candidates put up bv
rival political factions, either of which is
as corrupt as the other, is due to the mac
ton of non-ring and anti-boss citizens
within party lines They surrender the
party machinery to the bosses and must,
therefore, expect them to operate il to
their own advantage. The remedy
is to act and organize within party
that the control of it may be
transferred to the anti-boss element. The
evil of bossism has its tap root in the
earliest movement within party If the
honest partisan equally concerns himself
with the boss element in the party, he
will. wherever he has the voting strength,
prevail. If he is outlumbered, however,
bv the vicious element, the fault resides in
our state of society, since vicious major
ity cannot be controlled where the majority
right to rule prevails, no matter what
remedial systems may be applied. The
primary election, though guarded by legal

GENERAL GRANT.


General Grant lies at the point of death,
and the nation waits breathless for the sor-
rowful news of his passing away. But the
hope is universal that the life of the great
soldier and patriot will be spared that at
the critical period now reached, when the
battle is between the vital powers and the
assaults of disease, the conquest of victory
may again be the hero's who has so often
faced death. Ifit is given that General
Grant must die now, nation will go into
deepest mourning, and the cry of sincere
woe will 60 up from every hearthstone in
the land, while sympathetic nations will
condole with the people of the republic
upon their great loss.

THE NEW RAILROAD SYSTEM.
Talk with General Manager Towne-
Reasons for Consolidation.


A Bulletin reporter to-day called on \. \.
Towne, Manager of the Pacific system of
the Southern Pacific Company-the re-
Gently incorporated railway company of
which mention was made by telegraph yes
terday-and in reply to inquiries Mr..
Towne said:
g l would as willingly have given the
representatives of the press any informa-
ton | possessed relative to the new organ
ization last night as to-day, but for the rea-
son of a severe congeStive headache, which
rendered me qaite too i'll TO understand
ingly discuss this or any other business
matter. 1t is a fact, as stated III substance
by the papers, that the Central Pacific road
has been leased to the Southern Pacific
Company for long term of years, which
brings about the much-desired results and
protection alike 10 the two great systems,
the full measure of the design being the
harmonious and successful working of the
properties embraced under the ownership
and control of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, and generally saving largely in the
| expense of operating two independent
lines, which, if so operatei, would entail
| the expense of maintaining two complete
| and separate organizations, requiring, III
| many cases, two men to the work of one.

of the company and myself was in con-

NEW CONSUMPTION CURE.-Perhaps in
no other condition of disease, says J. NJ.
Anders, Phi. D., do plants and flowers offer
such promise Of becoming valuable thera-
peutic agents as in the dread and awe-in-
spring disease, consumption of the
lungs, and more especially do they seem to
be eiiectual in preventing the development
of the disease. In order to obtain the best
results it is necessary that both the living
and sleeping rooms should be arranged for
the purpose, and well stocked with foliage
and towering plants, and the person or
persons for whose benefit they may be en-
ployed should assume the care of the
plants, which soon, to most persons, be-
comes a pleasing occupation, and affords
the plants a better opportunity of ac-
complishing good results, as it brings
them-patient and plants--into closer con-
tact. 1t has been found that a convenient
and efficient substitute for winter or sum-
mer health resort can be secured by SIM
ply stocking the living and sleeping apart
ments of the patient with growing plants
in winter and living among and cultiyating
them out of doors in summer.

Demonstration by Soldiers Wives.
CoNsTANrINoPLE, April 1st.-The Govern
ment is in arrears to soldiers for several
months pay, and to-day the wives Of SOL
diers attempted to secure attention to their
husbands demands by appearing in force
at the office of the Minister of Finance.
Bands of women collected to the number
of 1000 or more, at point near the build
ing occupied by Cabinet officials. At the
appointed hour they marched in body to
the office of the Minister of Finance.
Pushing past the guards, they entered the
office, and, confronting the Minister, de-
manded the pay due their husbands.
Policemen were called in and tried to
expel them, but the women turned on the
officers and forced them to retire. The
Finance Minister made a plausible excuse
for delay in paying the men. The women
declared his answer unsatisfactory and
made rush for him. He, however, es-
capped by jumping out of the back window.

Portland, says our Exchange. 1t is
now down about 1900 feet and is in a
stratum of red sand. 1t will be remem-
bered that at the depth Of $50 feet the
top of tree was struck. After boring
400 feet the butt OF the tree was
struck and piece of soft rock brought
UP, the face of which is followed 10
correspond to the shape OF tree, and
bears the marks of the bark. On some
of the stones brought up are the I'M
print of fern leaves. A little above a
stratum of cobble stones was passed
through The soft rock in which the
stump of the tree was found, is much
like the beach at Yaquina, in which
the rock oysters are found. Mr.. Ladd
says the tree must have been 400 feet
in height, and crooked, so that after
the drill passed the top it did not
touch the tree again till it struck the
butt The geologist will be able from
a study of the different strata passed
through in boring this well to write a
history of the Willamette valley away
back to-long ago, or further.
