some months large force Of hands
has been actively at work on the line,
but it is now proposed to push it

the President presented the draft OF a
contract which had been agreed on
between him and New York firm for
constructing the entire road to Dur

AS THE Richmond Whig says, that
was a graceful act of Gen. w. T. Sher-
man inviting half a dozen distin-
guished Confederate Generals to par
ticipate in the celebration Of Grants
birthday. The General was a pretty
fierce fighter during the war, but lie
has now found that the war is over.
The difference between him and his
brother John is that the former fought
when there was somebody to fight,
while the latter beats the air and kills
time in the piping times of peace.
Of the two men, we have a much
higher opinion of and enter ain a
more profound admiration tor old Te-
cumseh.

-PRoFEsSoR ELISHA GRAY remarks tina
electrical science has made greater advance
IN the last twenty years than in all the 6,oOc
historic years preceding. More is discovered
in one day now than in thousand years o
the middle ages. We find all sorts of worI
for electricity to do. We make it carry ou
messages, drive our engine, ring our dooI
bell and scare the burglar; we take it as a
medicine, light our gas with it, and now we
are beginning to teach it to write. In the
ordinary sixteen candle power incandescent
lamp, according to Professor E. Merritt, only
from four to six per cent. of the energy &C
lually expended is available as light, the re.
mainder being wasted as heat. To lessen
this loss is one Of the greatest electrical
problems now awaiting solution.

-THERE is considerable speculation as
to whether Harrison will give Cabinet po-
sition to a Pacific Coast man. Senator Jones,
it is claimed, Is the man who will be ap-
pointed should an appointment be conferred
upon any Coast gentleman. Jones, we be-
lieve has not signded whether or not such a
position would be to his taste. However,
this may be, there are other men who would
do just as well as Jones for Secretary of the
Treasury, and one of them is Senator VIM.
NJ. Stewart, of Nevada. 1t might not be
policy, however, to take Stewart from the
Senate, as he is one of the best workers in
that body, and can probably do as much
good there as anywhere. If this Coast is &c
have Cabinet position we suggest that the
name of Wm. NJ. Stewart be placed in the
list of names from which the selection is tc
be made.

400, 900 acres in Kern, Santa Barbara and

1t is understood that work will begun by
subdividing $50, 900 acres of land near the

is reported that contracts for the subdivision
of twice that amount of land in that vicinity
were let some weeks ago. Land Offices in
Bakersfield, San Francisco, Los Angeles
and Chicago will be opened for the sale OF
the tracts. This move will be of great ben

TURN 'EM OUT.

The Philadelphia Press says the Repub-
lican party never had better opportunity
than the present enc to prove to the people
that it can give the country better, cleaner
and more efficient administration Of the
Government than the Democratic party can.
1t says one Of the chief means to this end is
honest civil service reform. The Demo-
cratic party gained nothing by grasping at
the spoils, and the Republican would gain
even less than nothing.
This is all very true, but TO gain the
credit of giving a purer and better govern,
ment, the acts must be performed by Repub
licans. We believe a whole lot in the
principle that "to the victor belongs the
spois." Not in sense, though, that the
spoils should be gained by plumber. 1t is a
fact that there are just as good and capable
men in the Democratic ranks as there are in
the Republican party, but do they ever aid
in gaming a victory for the Republican
party? If not, why should they receive any
reward? The placing Of men in positions of
trust and remunerative Offices who worked
against the Republican party instead of 10y
al supporters of the party, who are just as
capable of filling the positions, is what
breeds Mugwumps and kickers and makes
it possible for such men as Cleveland 10 be
elected. President elect Harrison will, no
doubt, make wise selections in his appoint.
ments, and it is our belief that he will not
appoint enemies rather than friends to the
people who elected him.
