aLetter From Palmda,e.

EDITORS HERALD-We have had fine
rain and the ground is wet to depth OF
twelve inches and it is raining again al
this writing. Everybody is busy seed.
ing and very large acreage will be
planted to grain this season. A good
many acres of land will also be planted
to alfalfa. Mr.. John Boesch has already
prepared six acres OF land so that it can
be flooded easily for alfalfa. Our trees
ard vines made an excellent growth last
summer. Settlers are coming 10 and the
pros poets for Palmdala are bright. Our
colony is young, but nevertheless the
vote cast at the last election vas twenty
five four more than at Lancaster, much
older place, and many not being long
enough in the State to vote. Our greatest
drawback is railroad accommodations
The Southern Pacific Railroad Companv
has made promises to give us station
but SO far it has been like the pacing of
the streets of LIS Angeles-a little slow.
We have only two and half miles to
Alpine, but it is a poor place for sta
ton, being a nook in the hills, not very
inviting place for people looking for
lands to settle on. The new Palmdale
station would bring the Elizabeth Lake
trade to the colony. l see from
the HERALD that the Atlantic rail-
road is asking for right-of.
through our colony. The San Pedro.
Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad also
surveyed through here last winter, and
should the Carson and Colorado Narrow
Gauge be extended to Los Angeles it
will no doubt come very near our colony.
From the HERALD it appears that the
Chamber of Commerce is hustling with
question of immigration and the prices of
land. If the land-holders near Los An
geles would adopt policy like John j.
Jones, Of your city, who owAs most Of
the land at Palmdale. it would be we'll
He sells the land at $25 per acre, with
water rights, in ten to forty acre tracts,
at ten per cent cash and one years inter
est in advance, and payments in one,
two and three years, and the party buy
ing it can pay for it in work. He gives
parties buying steady work the first year
ii so desired. Whatever has been paid
for in work at the end of one year will
be deducted from the payments. Cheap
lands and easy payments will induce
settlers to locate.
We did not have boom last year and
We hope that We may be spared one this
year. What we want is settlers and not
speculators. So far we have succeeded
well. The boarding, house and school
house are completed.

CALIFORNIA AND THE CABINET.
N. H. De Youne's Services to the
Party Magnified.


CHICAGO, November 2S.-The Journals
Washington special says: 1t is generally
admitted here that General Harrison
will select some one from the Pacific
Coast for position in his Cabinet. That
section of the country has been repre-
sented only once in the Cabinet, and that
WIS due more to General Grants
friendship for Williams, of Oregon, whom
he maze Attorney General, than to the
opinion that the Pacific coast was OF
eoough political importance to justify the
selection of Cabinet officer from that
quarter, but the Pacific coast has grown
amazingly in the last ten years. Wash
ington Territory is qualified and
ready for admission, and when
she enters the Union there will be
group of four States on the Pacific
slope-California, Nevada, Oregon and
Washington-which will demand very
much more from the administrations of
the future than they have received from
the administrations of the past. 1t is
probable that California will furnish a
representative for President Harrison s
Cabinet.
Among prominent Republicans of the
State mentioned for this position, is M g..
H. DeYoung, proprietor of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. De Young's newspaper
made splendid fight for the Republican
party during the last campaign. In ad-
dition to the services his journal rem
dered the party ne took leading part
personally in the contest; he contributed
much to the victory the Republicans
won in Nevada, and he aided the party
in Oregon very materially.a
He was one of the few Republicans in
San Francisco who took their lives in
their hands when they called a mass
meeting is enforce fair count, and their
resolute stand which told the Democratic
boss of that town that force to secure g
false count would be met by force to Sc
cure fair count, broke ur the plan to
count Cleveland in and Harrison out.
Mr.. De Young is man of fine execu
tive ability and high character. The
Republicans of California would be we'll
satisfied ii General Harrison selected
him for the place which the Pacific Coast
is to have in his Cabinet.

THE RAILROAD TRUST.
Terms of the COmbine-The Scheme
Meeting with Favor.

Terms of the COmbine-The Scheme
Meeting with Favor.
NEW York, November 28.-Jay Gould
and Russell Sage held conference with
representatives of the Rock Island road
Last night with view of securing their
adhesion to the railroad trust. Sage
says the scheme is meeting with general
favor and that it is the only practical
ne for stopping the railroad wars. Jay
Gould holds the same opinion, and that
tho plan will be eventually adopted by
all the roads.
The Sun publishes what it claims is an
authoritative statement regarding the
terms of the railroad trust. 1t says Jay
Gould has taken hold of the problem
With evident sincerity. The Atchison
Company has been represented by Pres
ident Strong, the St. Louis and San
Francisco road by President Winslow
SO tar as necessary for cooperation the
Southern Pacific system was represented
by q. Z. Huntington or one of his lieu
Senants. Commissioner Midgley, who
formerly supervised the South western
Traffic Association, has also been an &C.
live participant in the conference.
Under the Interstate law a pooling
arrangement is out of the question. It
is also conceded at the start that all of
the other old devices for maintaining
rates is useless. Under these circum-
stances two points we're finally agreed
upon. One was to take the rate-making
power entirely away from the subordin-
nfs officers of these corporations; the
other to punish violations of the schedule
tariff by summary and permanent dis

principles, simply, plan for running
ahe records OF the competitive business
through clearing house was formulated.
The three great systems referred to
have agreed to put this plan into execu-
Aon as sec n ls b preliminaiies can be
arranged. The fact that some of the So
called granger roads occupy some of the
npper part of the Southwestern territory
while the Atchison system extends into
Chicago, led the Southwestern managers
to make an effort to bring about a revo-
luton in the roads for the benefit of all
those concerned in the business. Before
completing their plan they decided to
submit it to the presidents of all the i'm
p0rtant roads doing business west Of
Chicago and South st. Paul.
Il should be understood now that all
the Pacific roads are banded together in
the Transcontinental Traffic Association
which at present is performing its func
lions most satisfactorily; hence they
we're not included in the scope CT the
present work, nor were the roads in the
extreme south of the Western States, az
they have, owing to the impetus given
to the work of improving the rates just

A Lively SCENE.
New Men Taking the Places of the
Union Brewers.

New YORK, November 2S.-The head.
quarters of the ale and porter bosses pre-
sented a lively scene this morning,
when hundreds OF men formed in line
to be registered to take the places OF
the journeymen brewers to be locked out.
The men employed in the various
breweries were interrogated to-day as to
whether they were ready to give up the
union. Those replying in the affirma-
tive were retained, while those express
ing loyalty to the union were informed
that there was no more work for them.
The number OF men to be locked out
cannot be ascertained as yet, but it is
thought large majority will stick by
the union.

Killed BY Nlountain Lions.

HELENA, Mont, November 27.-Partic
ulars have been received here of the
mysterious death of a miner, named
James Robinson, who lived in a
cabin alone in Lincoln Gulch.
He had been missing for twenty-one
days. Two men passed his cabin and
seeing the door open entered, where they
found the body Of Robinson under straw
bed. From tracks about the cabin and
the way in which the body was mutilated
they concluded he had been killed by
mountain lions.

Injuries to Knee Joints.

We commend to the earnest attention
of our readers the following extract from
a letter sent to US by a lady subscriber
For the last two years my 5-year-old
boy has suffered with a disease of the
knee joints, resulting in the loss of the
knee cap O p~atella. He was lately OPP
Grated upon at the Children's hospital.
If / had taken hiHlhere two years ago
he might have beer well to-day. Now
the knee may be several years in healing
fully, and will be nearly u stiff joint for
life, while all this might have been spared
him if had known what a slight swelling
of the knee might lead to, and had kept
him in bed q month.
"Your paper goes all over the land,
and feel it my duty TO ask you to warn
h mothers no to neglect what may
seem a slight trouble with the knee joint,
or, worse still, with the hip. 1t may
lead to amputation or even death"
The joints, especially those of the
knees, are liable to many serious afTec-
tons, some of which are due to constitu-
tional defect, and some to other diseases,
but most frequently the cause is injury
from accident. This cause operates
especially in childhood and youth, partly
because this period is more full of ex-
posures, and partly because the tendency
to set up infiammatory action is her at
its maximum.-Boston Budget.

WASHINGTON, March I'm response
to Senator Cullom's resolution of inquiry,
the president to-day sent to the senate q
letter from the secretary of state giving
the history of the prohibition by Frqnce
Of the importation of American pork.
The secretary says the department knows
of no ground to expect that the decree of
the French government will be revoked
at an early day. Inasmuch as the decree
which prohibited the importation of
American pork into France did not apply
to the products of any other nation and
thereby Disseminated against this coun-
try, and inasmuch as the reasons assigned
by the French government for issuing the
decree were without good foundation, this
government at once protested against the
measure, and since August, 1880, it has
been, from time to time, the subject of
earnest diplomatic representations by this
government to that of France.

white badge with a picture of Mr.. Cleve-
land engraved on it. They will be fur.
nished with torches made especially for
the occasion, and will turn out at every
political procession, and will De drilled In

Will Accept the Invitation.

WASHINGTON, March THE Joint
resolution recently passed BY the house
accepting the invitation of the French re-
public to take part in the international
exposition in Paris in 1889 was reported
favorably to-day, with certain amend
ments, by Senator Payne from the senate
committee on foreign relations. The
committee have entirely stricken from the
resolution as adopted by the house the
provision directing the commissioner of
agriculture to secure, if possible, as part
OF the exposition a competitive inspec-
ton of the pork products of the United
States and Europe. They have also elm
mated from the measure the provision
authorizing the commissioner to prepare
for gratuitious distribution at the exposi-
tlop a statement printed in English,
French and German descriptive of swine
raising in the United States, together
with such information as he may possess
relative to the w~holesomeness of pork
raised in this and other countries. The
resolution is further amended by ~increas-
ing from 5000, 900 to $500, 900 the appro-
priation to defray the expenses of repre-
sentation at The exposition. The clause
authorizing the president to assign one or
more of the public vessels to transport to
and from France, free Of cost, such ar
ticles as may be offered for exhibition by
citizens of the United States is stricken
out, as is also the provision authorizing
the appointment of one honorary commits
sioner to the exposition from each of the
several states.

To one who might casually drop into a
composing room and watch the men at
work-merely putting, to all appear
ances, one type after another-it looks
much like a purely mechanical process;
but to the compositor himself it appears
in a different light. While editors and
reporters have it within their power to
make the competitors task much easier,
they do not often take the pains to do it,
as the state of average manuscript read
lily affirms, The compositor not only
often has to ssraighten GU the reporters
bad grammar and worse spelling, but he
has to bear in mind the ''style" of CAPT
talization, punctuation, the thousand
and one things which go this way and
that way, according to the dictum of
the autocrat of the proof room, and
which the reporter, unless he graduated
from the case, never bothers himself
about observing. The book compositor,
moreover, contends with niceties of
punctuation never dreamed of on the
news frame. A compositor who re-
garded his work as purely mechanical,
and did not make a liberal use of his
faculties, would not remain long an en-
ploye of a first class book office.-Wil J.
Drew in The Writer.

emperor William Ill.

BERLIN, March THE condition Of
Emperor William is unsatisfactory. Prince
William, Prince Bismarck, Gen. Won
Moftke and the Court physicians are pres.
ent at the palace. 1t is reported that the
closing of the reichstag will be postponed
in consequence of the condition of the
Emperor.
The Emperor awoke at 3.3O this after
noon and took some nourishment. Liz
condition is critical. Prince Bismarck
left the palace at 3 o'clock.
1t is still hoped that the Emperor, not
outstanding present feebleness, may rally.
During the afternoon no alarming change
occurred. The slight nourishment he was
able to take seemed to revive him.

scheme.

WASHINGTON, March THE house
committee on Pacific railroads this morn
ing received from @. P. Huntington a
bill for the refunding of the Central Pa
cifc's Indebtedness to the government.
1t provides that the court of claims shall
make computations f~orfinding the present
worth Of the debt instead of the secre-
tary OF the treasury, as in the Cultivate
bill, and this court shall also determine
and deduct the equities. The debt shall
be divided into $50 equal installments,
payable semi annually, with security in
the shape OF l25 year bonds at , per cent
and a mortgage. The company may re-
deem at any time its bonds by discount.
ing them at 2 per cent. There is an au.
thorization for r~efunding the first mort
gage debt by the company, and the last
clause also provides for the alternative
authorization for the government to re-
fund said debt by issuing 2 per cent, fifty
year bonds, redeemable by the Contra
