THE Democrats claim Cleveland has
well filed the presidential chair. Yes,
so we'll that the chair will have to be
taken out and resulted and the strained

Our esteemed evening contemporary
having located the exact position of
Harrison's brains, we shall not feel

intellectual shortcomings. The man

AN AGED Democrat in San Francisco
says he cannot vote for Cleveland be-
cause the President killed the Nicaragua
Canal. We were not aware that the
concern had ever been alive enough to
need killing or to make that operation
possible. There are not wanting able
engineers who have been over the ground
where this canal is proposed to be built,
who declare that the project is utterly
impracticable. The route runs through
morasses fifty miles long, so deep and
soft that you might as we'll try
to dig canal in mid-ocean with
a shovel. These engineers declare the
whole scheme gigantic fraud and an
attempt to rob the Treasury. The recall.

GENERAL HARRISON says that the policy
Of his party "should be small farms
worked by the men who own them" ]"
Very true that ought to be the policy OF
the Republican party; but it has not
been. Uuder its policy public lands
were given away by hundreds of millions
OF acres to corporations, and English
lords and other gentry were permitted to
come insand secure vast tracts upon
which they hope at some future day to
establish second Ireland here, where
they can have rack-rents and Wicklow
evictions. The policy Of the Democratic
party, on the other hand, has been ex-
emplifed by the restoration to the public
domain of one hundred million acres of
public land held by railroads and other
Notwithstanding they had
failed to comply with the essential con-
ditions of the grants. In three years a
Democratic administration has done
what Republican administrations made
no effort to do in twenty years. 4

A DETERMINED effort is making by the
Democracy, and especially by that fac
ton of the foe represented by the
'steemed HERALD, to throw down and
defeat Charles H. Dunsmoor for County
Clerk. We do not believe that the effort
will be successful, for the reason that
Dunsmoor stands well with the people,
has made good officer and the stereo.
typed objections urged against him by
the HERALD have over and over again
been exploded and refuted. His action
in the Lynch Vandever contested seat
case was not only sustained by local
judicial decision, but also by Demo
of Representatives, and cannot at this
late day be successfully attacked.
Times.
1t probably makes no difference in the
mind of our esteemed conte mporary
that it's statement as to the action Of
the House of Representatives in the
Lynch-Vandever contest is not true.
But it may make some difference in the
minds Of unbiased people. Far from
justifying Mr.. ..Dunsmoor's act in disfran-
chising one hundred and ninety-four
voters, the House without dissent
counted for Mr.. Lynch twenty
five OF the votes of the very men
whose names were refused registra-
ton by the super-serviceable tool
OF the Republican County Central
Committee. Had ifty-eight of these one
hundred and ninety-four disfranchised
electors offered their votes and sworn
that they would have voted for Lynch,
he would have been seated in spite of
Mr.. Dunsmoor's high handed and fagi-
tious act. So far as Mr.. Dunsmoor goes
the worst part of his act was in promising
Mr.. White and others that he would put
the names on the Register, and then,
when they were thrown off their guard,
breaking his word and thus proving that
he is not a man Of honor.

BosToN, October 24.--At the Union
Pacific Directors meeting to-day VIM. H.
Holcomb was chosen Director, vice
Director Colgate resigned. Subsequent
ly Mr.. Holcomb was chosen Vice-Presi-
dent to succeed the late Thos. ]. Potter
as chief executive Of the affairs of the
Union Pacific, resident at Omaha. A. L.
Kimball was appointed General Manager
and G. s. Miller Assistant General
Manager. The President stated that no
changes in the organization of the Union
Pacific were contemplated. Mr.. Dickin-
SOD will continue as General Superin-
tendent; J. A. Munroe, General Freight
Agent, and J. S. Tebbetts, General Pas
senger Agent. No change in the organiz-
alton OF the st. Joe and Grand Island was
contemplated or Of the various Utah
roads. No appointment of General
Manager Of the Oregon Railway and
Navigation company will be made at
present. The duties of the Office will be
performed by Mr.. Holcomb until other
arrangements are made. Holcomb is at
present General Manager of the Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company, to
which position he was appointed on re-
commendation of Mr.. Thomas j. Potter.
He formerly had been connected with
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy road
and later with the Chicago, Burlington
and Northern.
The question of advancing money on a
part of the Union Pacific, to meet the
coupons of the Denver, South Park and
Pacific bonds, maturing November LIST,
was considered and without final action
referred to the Executive Committee
with full powers. The question of pay.
ing dividends was not raised nor was
there any discussion as 10 the resumption
or hereafter. The matter was in no way
alluded to: The company now has nc
floating debt for which a provision
in cash has not been made. Funds
($3, 600 ,000) also have been provided to
pay for the large amount of new equip
ments recently ordered, only q portion
OF which as yet has been delivered.
The company has no work of con-
struction now going on. The extension
OF the Salina, Lincoln and Western road
to Colby, Kansas, about 172 miles, was
completed on the Goth inst. The money
needed to pay for this work has been
provided.
During the four years between June
80, 1884, and June 30, 1888, the surplus
income Of the system to the amount OF
$13, 500, 900 was put into property. About
$1,000 tons of steel were. during the
period named, put into the tracks Of the
system in place of iron. A table showing
the condition of the funded and floating
debt Of the company, its mileage and it's
debt per mile accompanies the sta ement.
From this it appears that the entire funded
and the floating debt has been reduced
since June 80, 1884, from $l55, ,446, ,666 to
$l4S, ,626, ,159, including all the accrued
interest to the Government, and that in
this time the mileage has been increased
from 4 ,419 to 4,764. The debt per mile
stands at 3l,19l, as against $35, ,l70.
There has been an increase Of debt since
Decem her, 1887.

A BIG DEED OF TRUST.
The Southern Pacific Gives Security
for $4,000, 600.

SAN Francisco, October "a. - The
Southern Pacific Company filed in the
Recorders Office to- day deed of trust to
the Central Trust Company OF New York
conveying to the latter, for the purpose
of securing the payment of mortgage of
$38, 900, 900, all the property of the rail-
road company, and also all the property
of the branch roads which have been
amalgamated with it. The deed of trust
declares that the branch roads have
turned over all their property to the
Southern Pacific and that the latter as
sumes all debts and liabilities. and that
to secure the payment of these debts the
Southern Pacific Company will issue
$4,000 bonds Of 81 900 each. To secure
these bonds the company will create q
sinking fund, and after the year 1889
will pay 1000 per month out of the net
income of the railroad, and continue do
ing so until the debt is paid.
Speaking of the Southern Pacific mort
gage of $38, 600, 900 and it's proposition to
issue fifty-year bonds, paying the amount
of $40, 900 monthly or $240, 900 yearly till
the mortgage is cancelled, an official of
the company said, this morning, there
were two roads recently built by the
company on which no bonds were issued
and the first bonds of the new series
doubtless will be made to cover these
roads, one of which is the line
from Tracy up the west side Of
the San Joaquin Valley; the other is the
road running from Fresno along the
foothills, 106 miles, joining the Southern
Pacific near Paso. The company now
has in hand the construction of l25 miles
of rough mountain and seashore line be-
tween Templeton and Santa Barbara,
and also contemplates other branch lines,
the funds for which work will come from
the floating of these new bonds. 1t is
not expected that the last payment will
be made until 1888. The deed of trust
is expected to add greatly to the COM
marcial value of the bonds.

BUILDING goes on at perfectly as
founding pace in the business center of
the city. As one big block is turned
over to the owners another is launched
among the workmen who uprear the
edifices. The newest thing in this line
lis an immense five-story block to 60 on
the Jones property, on the corner of
Main and Marchessault streets. 1t is to
be combined hotel and theatre, and
will cost close to $250,0O0. Property
owners in that end of the city ought to
follow the good example set by this one.
They must do something to keep the best
OF the business from slipping away south.

THE ORANGE.
The Growers of San Gabriel De.
n0Gnce the Senate Reduction.

The correspondent in Los Angeles of
the San Francisco ErGminer has inter-
viewed the San Gabriel orange growers
to find out their views upon the reduction
IN the tariff on citrus fruits proposed in
the Senate free trade bill. Mr.. ]. de
Barth Shorb was the first man inter-
viewed, and he opened with declara-
ton to the correspondent that he was
still a Democrat and would vote for
Cleveland and Thurman.
'"How would the cutting down of the
import duty on oranges and lemons
affect your section ?'' inquired the CORE
spondent.
at would be most disastrous to all
the orange growers and shippers" an
swered Mr.. Shorb. ''Such other draw
backs as the red and white scale are bad
enough, but the further hindrance of a
reduction OF the duty would discourage
their growing and shipping. We are not
producing anywhere near as much or
anges as could be handled, and if the
rate were increased instead OF dimin-
ished large acreage wonld be added to
the present orange plant.
"We do not grow many walnuts here,
but can readily see that this industry
would be ruined by the slightest reduc-
ton of the custom duty, as the nuts are
really not worth handling now"
Mr.. Shorb recurred again to the posi-
ton he had been placed in by former
interview, which made him out as a
seceder from the Democratic party, and
as the Examiner representative was on
the point OF leaving he said: please
emphasize what said before, that while
| still think the Democrats are little
hasty in espousing tariff reform. they
are honest and mean to do what they
think is right, but the Republicans are
not so. They are practicing the rankest
demagogy in going 30 much farther than
the Democrats, with the sole and simple
idea of catching votes"
From Mr.. Shorb's wine-vaults the road
winds through acre after acre OF orange
trees and vineyards owned by small
owners. At many of these thrifty little
places the Er0miner representative
stopped and propounded the question as
to what effect the further letting down of
the bars to foreign competition in oranges
would have upon the proprietors. In
every case the answer was the same "It
will not do; it will ruin us. We sell to
the middle man and have to suffer the
penalty, as he certainly will not" Many
spoke with gloomy foreboding as to the
results OF the passage of the pending
Senate measure. and in not one instance
did even Republican grower uphold his
party's action on this point.
At General A. B. Chapman's place
only foreman could be found, General
Chapman, General Stoneman and Bay
ard !. Smith, large growers, being out ol
the State. The foreman said very Justly
that the crop of fruit was not very large,
the expense of keeping an orchard in
first class shape quite heavy, and the
margin OF profit in marketing the iruii
very small. A cutting down OF duty on
foreign fruit would mean reduction in
the market price here, and there would
then be no longer any money in it.
The next large orchard visited Was the
