The Railroad to the Yosemite,
New York Time s.

Heretofore a trip to the Yosemite valley
has been a pretty expensive business
both MS regards cash and time. With a
nriyate conveyance and camping outfit
ones expenditure of cash might be kept
within bounds. but to make visit to the
famous valley by the regulation stages.
and to put up at the regulation inns on
the excursion has required better-hlled
nurse then most CalifornianS can boast IN
these DAYS. Indeed. it is rather curious
10 find out how few of the people who
live within, say, one hundred miles of the
valley have ever been in it. All around
me are people who have lived IN this
ueiobborhood for from ten to twenty
wears. and not one in threescOre of them
has ever seen the spectacle which draws
hundreds of eager visitors across oceans
and continents of course, this absti-

either of time or money. As general

cheap excursions trains will be run from
the towns along the line of the Southern
Pacific road. with which the Yosemite
branch connects at station called Ber-
enda (Antelope), seven miles north Of
MADEIRA, where is now the starting place
of the Yosemite coaches.
It is not expected that the road will be
finished in time for use during the season
about to open. but twenty-five miles will
be in running order in a month or less
time and as the stages valley-bound viii
start from the end of the line there will
be a saving of fifty miles on the round
trip. Such saving means a good deal
to anyone who knows what it is to ride
through the summer heat and dust clouds
of the San joaquin valley, where the
stage ride is shortened. For this season

head TO his enjoyment. The country bor,
is just as DESTROYS of staying where he l.
for though he is in the country the whole
year round, he is just as glad to live in
the sunshine and among the flowers and
green fields as the city boy would be. No
he don't want any city mixed up with his
life when the charming spring. weather
comes. But there is time when be

how he could get there and what he would
do if he were there. This is when The
summer work is over, and the chilling
blasts of approaching winter are felt
The country is a dreary place in winter.
and the boy thinks that if only he could
be fixed like his city causin he would be
supremacy happy. TO tell the truth, the
boy on the farm has a hard time of it in
winter. There Is always a lot of work to
do which the older people seem to think
is Just the thing for the boys. and there
fore they have to do it. True, they get
some sleigh-rides and have little fun at
school, but it is a dreary time notwith-
standing.
The city boy, if his parents are well-to-
do, has a great advantage in the long run
he has long vacation in the summer.
and he can go out and spend it with his
country cousin. He has nothing to do
and if his parents are in position to live
/ half and half, that is, the winter in the
city and the summer in the country, he is
/ pretty well provided for. The country
/ boy can't do anything like this He has
/ too much to do in the winter to come into
I town and have a good time, and he is fort
innate boy if he can get few days visit
every year TO the city.
The country boy, if he don't like farm
/ life, and not One-half of them do, not be-
cause they are indolent or anything of the
kind, for they will work hard enough at
what they do like, will, in course of time,
drift away from the farm and find him
self clearking in city store or working
in the shops, and having much harder
time of it than he had on the farm. Yet
you could not get him to go back. He
may like to get out of town occasionally
and see the green fields and fish in the
streams as he did when boy, but week
or so is enough, and back he comes to the
crowded city,
Boys are very queer some way or other,
and a really contended boy is not found
at every turn of your elbow. This is the
reason perhaps, why there are so many
disconnected men in the world they are so
because they did not have things to suit
them when they were boys.

now, and wds plain enough throughout
all these ten gears, yet with the guilty
knowledge that such things would surely
come to pass, did the people Of Chicago
close their eyes to the inevitable. and per
NIT it unchecked, TO come upon them.
Like all other visitations of an inscrut-
able Providence, it should now teach all
other cities and communities, that while
their people enjoy the blessings OF law
and order, they, the people, should never
neglect their bounden duty at the polls,
and leave all this vile suppression OF the
peoples wishes, and elevation OF the peo-
ple's enemies to a handful of political
thieves, who, when given their desserts,
invariably end in the Penitentiary. The
lessons of the New York Doodle Alder
men, and the Chicago Anarchists are
now to be benefited by, and such things
rendered impossible in the future.

THE TOUGHEST YET.

The Massachusetts Republican State
Convention adopted plank in its plat
form concemning Congress for its failure
to repeal the law making compulsory
the coinage of deprecated silver dollars, 4"
and pledging its nominees for Congress
to support bill for the repeal of said law.
This, says the Winnemucca (Nev.)
SilUer State, is the most emphatic declar-
alton yet made by any party against sill
yer, but it suits the gold-bugs of the East,
and insures their support to the party
which makes it. 1t is in accord with the
sentiments of Sherman, of Ohio, who
wants as much silver put in a standard
dollar as London brokers are willing to
take for gold dollar, and thus give us a
United States coin the value of which
would be regulated by spectators, and
which would fuctuate from day to day,
as mining or railroad stocks do.

WATCH THE POLLS!

About nine of every ten good citizens,
will exclaim, on learning of the action of
the Chicago Court in the Anarchist cases !:
81 am glad that these men will be made
to suffer for their crimes;" and yet if the
nine men were to analyze their true feel
ings, they would not be glad, but sorry.
Sorry that such men could ever obtain
foothold in this land of freedom and be
allowed to hatch out conspiracy so
dreadful in its results, and so barren of
redeeming qualities. Sorry that political
interests in municipal elections are
bought and sold by men who deal in the
votes of the refuse of society, just as in
other merchantable matter; and doubly
sorry that the real authors of the inhu-
man crime cannot be made to suffer with
the tools they employed. No thinking
man will believe that these eight, almost
penniless men, unaided, brought about
the awful massacre at the Haymarket, or
that the hanging OF them will wipe out
the criminal doctrine they preached and
practiced. There is current OF moral
turpitude underlying the political life of
Chicago and other great cities which is
directly responsible for the Haymarket
disaster, and until it is uprooted and its
partisans thrust out of public place, the
people can never hope for sure deliver
ance from like crimes. For the past ten
years the municipal offices in Chicago
have been as shuttlecock, tossed about
from one to the other, of gang of men
whose only recommendation to suffrage
lay in their scheming ability to direct the
labor vote to their support, aud while
they have been alert to accomplish their
desires, they have closed their eyes to the
hydra-headed monster their doings have
conjured up, and by so doing have tacitly
acknowledged its power. When the bet
ter element fully realized how near they
were to anarchy and ruin, they banded
together for salvation, regardless of party,
and the Mackin-Galagher episode was
the result. This move broke the back of
the vile power swayed by the spoilsmen
OF Chicago, and they could no longer help
the rough element, when as a conse-
quence, that element tried to help them
selves, with the result of bringing up on
the gallows. All this is plainI enough

THE SILVER QUESTION.

When the political mountebanks OF the
day shall have stated all their issues,
which they intend to bring before the
people, it will be found that the people,
in themselves, have an issue that is para
mount to all the subjects raised by men
who seek Office for its spoils, and that
issue is silver, equal with gold and the
free and unlimited coinage OF both. The
circular in our local columns needs no
comment, being one of the aDlest argu-
ments in favor of the use of silver on a
par with gold we have yet read. The fol-
lowing excerpts from the opposing sides
of the silver question utterances are
worthy of deep thought:
Mr.. Moreton Frewen, recently address
ing the Congress of Chambers of Com
merce of the British Empire, said
81 am myself interested in this question
as a farmer, both in the United States and
in Canada. 1t is ABSOLUTELY no.
torious that the price which our wheat and
our raw cotton is to fetch in the European
market is decided by the price of silver.
Take chart and watch the fluctuations in
the market price of wheat in Mark Lane
during the last ten years, and what do you
find? That with every fall of a penny in
the price of silver, I0heGt has fallen q ShtL-
ling, (that is, per quarter or 3 cents per
bushel, and this is very mild statement
and whenever any cause operated to stlffen
the price of silver, then the wheat market
was stronger, at higher price"
At recent meeting of the American
Bankers Association" held in the City
of Boston, the following was unanimously
adopted:
"ResolUed, That it is the sense of this
convention that the coinage of silver dollars,
under the compulsory law of 1873, is detri-
mental to the best interests of the people,
and dangerous to the welfare of the Govern
ment, and that the law should be immedi-
ately suspended, and remain imperative
until an international agreement with the
leading commercial nations shall give sub
stantial assurance as to the future relations
of gold and silver as money" "We, there
fore earnestly appeal to all boards of trade,
chambers of commerce and civil and polit-
ical associations of every kind, to make per-
si5tent efforts to secure the repeal of the
law, or a suspension of the coinage of such
silver dollars"
Here, then, may be seen, in part, what
we have to fight for, and whom we have
to fight against. Should it not be sufficient
to stimulate the workers of America to
action?
