THE LEGISLATURES AND THE
RAILROAD.

II begins TO look as If the present
legislature is going to ignore the reas'
enable and just demands of the people
for some legal remedies against inJu-
ries which they suffer at the hands OF
the railroads. We refer particularly
TO the injuries from discrimination In
freight charges, tho railroad to deliver
freight, and the killing of stock by the
cars.
We can understand why the MEM
bers Of the legislature hesitate to vote
for q railroad commission with pow
ers, which to a great extent Take from
the owners of the roads, the manage
ment of its affairs.
While we do not deny the legal right
of the State to establish such cons
mission, and give it power to fix abso-
lutely the rates OF passenger and
re'ght charges, we seriously question
the necessity, or policy Of such law
at this time.
But the interests OF the people do,
mand that tho roads should be de-
prived Of the power to discriminate in
matters of freight against towns and
communities. AS it is at present The
roads have It In their power to ruiz
whole towns and communities ane
build up others by such discrimina
tion, and this power Is frequently eS
ercised. Such power In the hands Q
corporations, Is too dangerous TO re
main unrestrained.

stock by the cars as interpreted by tn

ixcs the burden 81 proving negligence,
which is essential 10 recovery, upon the
owners oi the stock. When the fact T
Is that in nine cases out OF ten, all the
material evidence is in the possession
of the Employees alone.
Regarding the loss OF freight, me
owner is compelled to go through
routine OF red tape before ne can re-
cover the value Of his goods, wnicn
would exhaust the patience OF Jop;
and in cases where the amount IS
small the owner either becomes as
couraged before he gets hall way
through, and gives up the hight or
rather than suffer the trouble ana
annoyance declines 10 make any etior'
In the matter.
The propositions, which are empod-
led in bills before the legislature, looks
/ ing to solution Of the difficulties IN
these cases are, first 10 compel the
road 10 assume the burden Of showing
absence of negligence on its part 10
sui,s for the recovery OF damages Tor
!, stock killed, and second to compel the
road TO settle for freight which 1t fails
to deliver at the point Of delivery ano
, to enable the party losing the freigh
. to sue for its value in the court oi MI
own domiciI. How any member Cal

claim to honesty or consistency
! more than we can understand.

OF conceding the justice Of these law
. The people of Louisiana are patient an

How Fortunes Fell to GaIlfornians m
the Last Drawing of The Louisiana
Lottery.
Jacob Marzolf is a ioyial German, who
came to California in the early days, and
finally settled down as proprietor ola little
saloon at. Blacks Station, Yolo county
For ten years ''Jake's saloon has been a
%well-known resort there. About a year
ago c. c. lIowx, who spent most of his
time prospecting in the neighboring hills,
although with little success, suggested to
Jake that they might strike it rich by
investing in The Louisiana State Lottery.
On Jan. 1, 1885. the two started in to
gether TO buy five tickets every month for
one year. They were lucky in the first
drawing. and continued winning small
prizes amounting to over $500. just
before the last drawing they decided to
quit buying tickets altogether when the
year was over. Howx went into the hills
OF the good fortune in store for them.
When the news came over the wires that
someone at Blacks Station had drawn
one tenth of the capital prize, $3.50, 900.
the little town was excited with curiosity
as to who wis the lucky man. jake
went down into his well worn pocket
book, and was overjoyed on seeing that
one of the tickets which it contained was
number G9.255. HIS partner was imme-
diately notified of the bonanza they had
struck. lie returned to town, and when
the money was collected soon after,
through the Bank of Woodland, il was
divided between the two. Both have
altered their resolution in regard to buy
ing tickets, and will continue investing on
a larger scale during the present year.
