The individual described in the fol-
lowing from the Record union may be
found in other localities besides Sacra-
mento: .,l
Many years ago there lived in this
city man who was known rs "Gassy
Alec" He was eternally blowing and
talking about himself. He claimed
credit for everything that was going.
No one ever told q story that he did not
claim was chestnut" for there was
nothing new under the sun that did not
originate with him. He was forever
putting and blowing and posing before
the public. and it WAS not long before
the public came t. know him As the
biggest liar on the top of earth. "Gns-
sy Alec" is dead, but some Of, his kind
still live in Sacramento.

TIE RAILROAD DEBTS.

President Cleveland's message upon
the Pacific Railroad investigation will
force at least an attempt at action from
Congress. The President accepts the
views of the majority OF the commission.
He adopts their good opinion OF the
present Union Pacific management, and
their bad opinion Of everything and
everybody else connected with the sub.
sidizad roads. He favors their plan of
settling tho railroad debts by extending
the time and enlarging the security.
The message remarks that "any adj
justmeut or plan of settlement should
DO predicated upon the substantial in
terests of the Government, rather than
Any forebearance or generosity deserved
Shy the companies" AS regards the
managers of the roads, this is undoubt-
eddy true, but perhaps the President
has overlooked the fuct that it is the
patrons of the lines who will ultimately
have to settle oil the bills. If the Di-
reotors of the roads find it more advan-
tageous to accept the Government
terms aud pay their debts, it will BIZ be-
cause they see their way clear to assess
all the damages on the public. Other
wise they will give up the subsidized
lines. which they have been carefully
preparing to do without, and confine
themselves to the new roads which they
have built with their savings.
1t il delicate question for the Gov
sernment to consider whether tho tax
p..ers woul do better to force the COM
paules to settlement at the cost of high
er rutes, or should pocket its loss and
allow the patrons of the lines some OF
tue benefit. We fully agree with the
Presidents assumption that the conduct
of the corporations has excluded them
from all right to forebearnnce; the only
question is whether the Interests of the
Treasury and of the people are in all re-
spects dentical.-EExaminer.

The Humsne Movement.

It's but little more than twenty years
since Mr.. Bergh secured the incoroora-
ton OF the New York Society for the Pre-
Vention of Cruelty to Animals. That work,
which WAS begun and carried on for years
in the face of derision, oppo-
sitioR and even obloquy, has long since
won universal Hcquiescence and respect,
and has broadened out into many other
forms of humane effort, until now it can
be seen to have elevated the whole
tone of our civilization. The last
snnual meeting of the American HUI
name Association, detailed report Of
which hiss Just been issued, showed that
correspondence had been had with more
than ninety principe! humane societies in
every part OF the Union, each having many
branches. The amount of suffering and
misery which these organizations have
been able to relieve may be guessed from
the statement that thirty OF them have
dealt since their organization with the
cases of 1906 cruelty treated animals
and ITO 600 cruelty treated children.
The fad Of this work is constantly
growing broader. A glance st the sub
jects discussed st this meeting will show
now many forms of cruelty or neglect are
now seriously combatted, which were
ouce considered as matters of no conse-
Quepce. The transportation OF cattle by
railroad companies, and their general
treatment in stockysrds, slaug hter-houses,
markets, and even ranches, mas occupied
. large share of attention. as q result,
humane methods are seen sim )st every
where. Animals transported by railroad
are rested, fed and Watered in &C
cordsnce with law, except on one or
two roads. What are called humane
cars, as distinguished from the ordinary
railroad cars, Into which it has been the
habit to pack cattle, are steadily in
cressing in number. Thousands Of cat
tie are now shipped in these cars, and
cRgo haul them St the same rate IS other
cars, though the roads west CT those
cities still discriminate against them.
The methods used in slaughter houses
are much more prompt and humane. The
association calls for legislation to reach
the cattle kings Of the western ranches,
who allow hundreds Of thousands
to die every year from exposure
and cold. Members OF these societies
are busy everywhere securing the erec-
tlOn Vi utlDklnB IOunIalnsJ protesting
against the treatment of veal calves and
the slaughter Of birds, considering the
apparently insoluble problem OF the cruel
treatment of negro children by their pa-
rents in the south, pigeon shooting, hAr-
Messing and abusing dogs, overlooking
street cars, cruel methods of shipping
poultry, even the brutal way the Paris
cabman lashes his horse and the question
whether the hardship involved in favor
tie method of conveying chickens consists
in tying their legs together or in carrying
their heads downward, or both.
A little foolishness may creep in here
now and then, but what is it in COMPARE
son with the CREST amount of good done2
Anything which tends to eliminate the
element of cruelty from our relations
with the helpless makes better men and

Charles G. French of the commission

returned from Southern Texas, where he
has made an extensive trip in the interest
of his house. Cattlemen of that part Of
the state, he says, are greatly pleased
with the condition of their stock, but the
great matter of discussion down there is
The boom which the sheep INDUSTRY is
just now enjoying. The prices
being received now for mutton
are higher than have ruled for
long time. Mr.. French says thst lot
he handled from Southern Texas brought
S. % on the Chicago market, and the
quality was not extra at that. The cause
of the boom appears to be q scarcity OF
good mutton in the country, and this con-
dition will exist until shesring COM
mences and owners begin to send their
common sheep to market.
