A Pioneer,s views.

EDITORS HERALD: Your remarks in regard
to the newcomers and their poor opinion OF
the pioneers of California were appropriate.
Laying aside the fact in regard to libraries,
let us compare things thirty years ago with
what confronts us now. Thirty years ago
the religion of ninety-nine out OF every
hundred men was their honor. Atthat time
men could go to town, or, in fact, anywhere,
aud leave their cabins unlocked; indeed,
there were no locks, but the latcn-string
was outside the door. Pans OF gold ana
tools of all kinds were thrown upon the
bank and never molested; In fact, there
was no petty larceny in those days. man
could then go to any trading store ana
get all the grub he wanted without money.
and from the butchers the same, merchants
depending altogether on the mans honor %
for pay How are things since we have got
a touch of the "higher" civilization, very
little trusting to mems honor these daysf
The doors and windows must be barred and
locked, as in the East; the country is full OF
tramps; it is dangerous for man 20 De out
thieves. A friend of mine hired woman
who Just came frem the States. She was
robbed on the cars, and did not have dol
lar when she got to Los Angeles. Then,
are dissatisfied with our laws. 1t is horrify-
ing for them to see people enjoying them
selves on Sunday. Now, l contend that
California has the best Constitution to pre-
serve the liberties of the people of any State
of the Union. We have civil and religious
liberty in every sense o. the word,
and it behooves us to watch and see there is
little tinkering with it. Let us have one
State in the Union where men Of liberal
nature can rest and enjoy life unmolested
know there are vast numbers coming here
who are satisfied and do enjoy our freedom
from sumptuary and Puritanical laws. To
all such we say welcome. Those who want
prohibitory laws like they have in Kansas,
lows and Maine will not find California to
suit them. A PIONEER.

A NEW LINE.
The santa Fe Co.'s Latest Big
scheme.

Scheme
Some months ago several capitalists of
this city had their attention called to the
value of a line of railroad to be built from
this city to point on the coast at or near
Huencine, or San Buena Ventura. With
such an idea these capitalists made trip
along the proposed route, aud everything
looked favorable to its construction. For
some reason, however, their plans did not
scheme fell through. Yesterday morning
the HERALD's representative met friend
who informed him that scheme was now
ON foot to build such road. In fact, the
stated that Mr.. ban Mcfarland is one
of the projectors. He only plays a
small part, however, for the HERALD's
authority, which is indisputable, states
that the santa Fe Company is at the bottom
of the scheme. To suostantiate this, it is
only necessary to state that party of santa
Fe offici ais, accompanied by a corps OF Santa
Fe surveyors are now on the ground max,
ing an outline of the proposed route and
which # Will pass. The head man Of the
party Is the Santa Fe COmpany's attorney at
Chicago, who arrived in this city some days
ago. The idea is to build the road to the
coast, and secure a good connection with
pany's steamers, both at Redondo Beach
and at one of the places above
mentioned. 1t is stated positively that the
road will run through the Barton Land and
Water Company's property In the San Fer
nando Valley, and through the Santa Su-
aanna Pass, the SINH and Los Posas Ranchos
to the terminal at the coast. The road will
be about sixty miles long, and will be con-
structed of the very best material to be OBJ
tanned. The above is certainly very sensa-
tional, especially when taken with the
dehials of Mr.. C. W. Smith and other Santa
Fe magnates, that they did not contemplate
any new construction.

EDITOR FARMER:-Not seeing any
thing from this Alliance IN your valu-
able paper, I thought perhaps it would
not be out of place to venture a few
lines concerning it. Our Alliance was
organized on the 2lst of April, 1885,:
with 10 charter members; at this writ
ing it numbers 81. It seems to our
mind that the object and aim of the
Alliance is the grandest, most bene-
fetal and most sublime of any other
ever conceived by man. When we
allow our mind to penetrate into the
far distant future and mediate upon
the possibilities and achievements that
are in store for the Alliance, it is then
that we poor, depressed and oppressed
tillers of the soil can hold up our heads
and be encouraged to 60 on. We
long to see the day when the fac
tories will oar and spindles whirl,
the gins hum and hammers clink, the
mills all over the land make their
noisy revolutions, the great iron horses
make their laundering sound over
hills and valleys in the interest of the
farmers. We desire, too, very much
to e the doors of the great halls of
learning spread wide open to this class,
and that they may have access to all
that tends to socialize, moralize and
elevate man. But it will be very
quickly seen by every considerate mind
that we must first be financially bet
tered, and then all these are ours. But
we wish most of all that our rights
be recognized in the halls of
legislation, and that we should have
a just portion of legislation in our
favor. Fearing THAT I intrude on
valuable space, 1 close by wishing you,
your paper and the Alliance, much.
success and a long life. I am,
Yours fraternally,
II. f. SMITH, Sec'y.

and it is to be feared that our order will
suffer by it. though it is to be hoped
that our members will be very careful
how they demean themselves in this
campaign, as they are being tightly
watched by their enemies. Crops in

though somewhat damaged in some

there will be an average crop made. !

There is about 25 copiss ef;it=taken ia
our Alliance, and it is doing us good.
at our last meeting in June we re-
elected our old officers for another
year, viz: T. j. Renfrow, President;
G.. B. Peninger, Secretary, &c. Our
President is always on hand, and a
good officer; and if we had enough
such men as our Business Agent, Bro.
j. w. Phillips, we would move on
ward and upward to a triumphant
success. We feel the importaneesof
union in action, and are taking more
interest in the Alliance than ever. We
have no ladies in our Alliance, but
think we soon will have some of them.
The Alliance seems to have a tendency
to draw the members closer together.
Long may The PROGRESSIVE FARMER

throughout the Old North State.

MRS. .JoE PERSON.
Dear madam Most gladly do I give
you my name to- place before the public,
bearing testimony of the miraculous cure
effected on me by your most valuable
Remedy. Fifteen years ago I was troubled
by what seemed to be little scales ap-
pearing on the right side of my cheek
under the eye, resembling dry meal bran,
which I could remov when l shaved, but
they would return again in a short time.
Soon an enlargement appeared under the
same eye, attended with itching and
burning sensations, and sharp, darting
pains from the affected place to the eye,
causing great difficulty in closing the eye,
ever to sleep. Sometimes it would feel
better, but never at any time disappear.
Some physicians pronounced it eczema,
others chronic erysipelas, and all advised
me to let 1T alone. This I did until two
years ago, when a little scab began to
form right under the eye, resembling a,
wart, which / could not remove; in size
and appearance it soon grew to be as large
as a strawberry, and the scab came off
and left the place entirely raw. Having
fear of a cancer, l began to use various
kinds of salves to heal it up, but never
could. I consulted with physicians of
great experience; they said it looking
suspicious of it, and advised me to have it
cut or burnt at once. Ibid not wish to do
either; and being persuaded it was in my
blood, I resolved to try your Remedy, as
it had been recommended to me. I did
so with the most happy results. I can say
I am a aDeU man. l cannot say too much
for your Remedy. It is worth it's weight
in gold. Before I had used one bottle I
was hopeful, and at the expiration Of five
weeks the sore was entirely healed, the
scales and r~oughness Of the skin all gone,
and left me a new man 1 will give any
n similarly affected any further infor-
nation they may desire, and can only say,
If the public will give your Remedy a
trial, it will speak for itself, and your sue
cess will know no bounds. God speed
the day that must dawn upon your future
prosperity! Yours most truly,
JAMES CARTER ARLINGTON.
