DAILY EDITION
A COMPROMISE SCHEME.

It is true but melancholy fact that
the people who reside in the vast terri
tory that extends from the western boun-
Diary of Minnesota to the Pacific and
from Colorado to the British line will
have no voice in the choice Of president
at the coming election. While in the
east people recall with pride their sue
cessive votes for president, the citizens of
this immense domain are debarred from
that privilege and are compelled to sub
nit to taxation without repre-
sentation. If statehood is to be
made the shuttlecock of party
something should be done to render the
position Of the territories more endura-
BILE. The entire territorial system is sub
ject to revision by congress No consti-
tutional barriers stand in the way of in
vesting Dakota, Montana and the other
territories with rights that would nearly
correspond with the full measure of state
hood. The fourth article Of the consti-
tuition says ''the congress shall have pow
er to dispose Of and make all needful
rules and regulations respecting the ter
ritory Or other property belonging to the
United States" This provision is ample
enough to warrant congress in establish
ing governments like those in the states
in all the territories Or IN each one separ-
ately. OF course, such govern
ments should carry with them
full representation in the house
and senate, but as that may
be made the bone of contention for years.
prudence and fairness demands that the
territories shall not be denied the more
priceless boon of home rule.
The method we suggest would be bet
ter than self-organized states such as are
proposed in South Dakota There are
good precedents for such ways, but they
generate revolutionary sentiment and
lack that validity which might be i'm.
parted by actual statute. The measure
we speak Of would be Il friendly Offering
on the part of the states in their united
capacity to territories such as Montana or
Dakota, which have attained the popula-
ton, wealth and settled condition that be-
fit the rank of states.
1t is perhaps too late in the session to
expect congress to consider measure 80
radical as that which we refer to, But II
would be proper for some public man to
prepare from the constitutions of the sew
eral states constitution for each terri
tory. Such constitution, when Invested
with the authority Of statutory law, would
give Dakota Or Montana the benefits of
home rule and would pave the way for
their speedy admission tothe full rank OF
statehood. 1t would appease the angry
spirit which is manifested in Dakota and
would benefit the whole union by accord
ing each territory the opportunity for ex.
pansion which it requires. Experience
has proved that territories such as Dakota
and Montana are entitled to broade,
measure OF self-government than Arizona
or Alaska. which may soon have n terr;
torlal organization. In the light of such
experience. why not act PROMPTLY and
etticaciously?

The purists are at work. They object
with good reason to the misuse of the
word "claim," such as it is "claimed" that
he is insane. He has the courage Of his
convictions" IS also common phrase Of
French origin, which might be rendered
better by saying, he "has the courage to
express his convictions" Or he "stands by
what he believes" 1t is to the credit Of
the Montana press that it is not slangy.

thing to redeem the pledges made at st.

they delude the public.

Everything is done quickly in Great
Falls. Here for instance is Percy sher-

have set such good example to all lag

Butte should rebuild the opera house
promptly No young American city can
afford to yield an inch to fire. Like
Chicago, it should regard the ravages of
the devouring element as challenge to
produce something nobler and grander
than that which has disappeared in
smoke. The gain in reputation alone is
worth the expense.

Chief Arthur Declares that the Engineers
Will Not Surrender

Chief Arthur Declares that the Engineers
Will Not Surrender.
CHICAGO, March 11th.-Chief Engineer
Arthur said to an Associated Press reporter
this afternoon that he considers the decis-
lon OF the Iowa Railroad Commissioners
eminently fair and impartial He also
thought the letter of Governor Larrabee to
PRESIDENT Perkins, of the Burlington, would
be commended by the travelling public and
the public generally. THE Governor, after
thorough investigation" said he, ''has
found there is something to arbitrate. the
Burlington officials to the contrary, not
withstanding, and has advised the Presi-
dent OF the Quincy accordingly. As to
the tight having been narrowed down to
game of freeze-out," continued Arthur, "it
remains to be seen how long the Directors
and stockholders will sustain the present
bankrupt policy of management-a policy
with no sufficient cause. For our part we
are confident that the Brotherhood can
stand it longer than the owners of the
road Will be willing to stand it. Our ad-
vices are that but 80 per cent of the usual
local business is being done, and no
through business. The Burlington men,
bers OF the Brotherhood will be sustained
by the entire organization just as long as the
men wish or require help, and that is Ger.
talnly longer than the Quincy can go with
out through freight, or fast passenger
trains"
THE SITUATION IN ST. LOUIS.
CHICAGO, March 11th.-A Times special
from st. Louis says: All the railroads CEN
tering in East st. Louis stopped handling
Burlington freight at O. clock this evening.
This was due to resolution adopted at
meeting of engineers and firemen and
brakemen this afternoon. Twelve roads
are affected by the order.

IN A TIGHT PLACE.
Fresno Man Weds Once Too Often and
Gets in Trouble.

TCopygh, 1888, By the California associated Press,
FRESNO, March 11th-Twenty-odd wears
ago ID. B. Stephens left his wife in Missouri
and came to California, locating in Tulare
county. After a few years he moved to
this county, settling on farm near Selma.
There he married young woman, and
| she has lived with him ever since, bearing
him four or five children. Several months
ago Stephens took notion to find out
something about his Missouri wife, and re-
| ceived in answer to letter word from wife
No. l, who offered not only TO fcrget and
forgive, but wanted to come to California
and live with him.
Stephens at once set about getting rid of
wife No. and her children, and going be-
| fore the Court had his marriage annulied on
the ground that when he married his new
wife he had another wife living and undi-
vorced. In his complaint he admitted the
marriage ceremony with wife No. ., legally
performed. His first wife arrived from
Missouri in due time and went to living
with Stephens, and then wife No. 2 sued
him for the support of herself and chill
dren, claiming IN the complaint that he
told her when he married her that he was
divorced from his first wife.
In answer to the suit, Stephens swears
that he never married wife No. g but
that she knew his first wife was living at
the time she married him. Wife No. .
has now sued him for perjury, for having
sworn that he was married to her, in ask
ing that the marriage be annulled, and now
swearing that he never married her From
indications, there will be lively times.

Exasperated by Boss Rule.

Respectable Republicans in Sacramento
have become exasperated with the boss
rule Of ward politicians in that city. and
on Thursday night had large mass meet
ing in condemnation of certain acts in con-
nection with the recent Convention for nom
mating municipal officers. A Republican
nomination means election in that CITY,
and the bosses have heretofore nomi-
mated their men without regard to the
wishes of the voting masses. We are glad
to see the opposition manifested, and hope
1t will succeed in overthrowing such dis
reputable rule. This thing of packing Con-
yentions in the interest of few men who
would be ignored by the tax payers has
been carried to disgrsceful extent all over
California. The only way to prevent is for
the tax-paying voters to take part in the
nominations. Or they can, as last resort,
combine against such nominees at the polls
on election day.-OroviIc Mercury.

Importation of Election Rourhs.

Official information was received yester-
day from San Francisco, that the ballot-box
stuffing bosses of Sacramento, fearing the
active efforts of self-respecting Republicans
and Democrats in defense of the ballot-box
would secure fair election tomorrow, and
thereby insure the ignominious overthrow
OF the infamous political ring, have called
upon their ally, Boss Buckley, of San
Francisco for brigade of thugs and bull
dozers to assist them. The first detach-
ment of the delectable crew came up last
night on the 8 o'clock train, numbering
about twenty. Among them are big
Necked Smith and Jimmy Dwyer, we'll
known in this city from previous similar
visits, when Large maiorities " were scored
IN the First and Second Wards. The
RECORD UNION will endeavor to publish q
list of the entire crew, in time for use to-
morrow, so that the police and Deputy
Sheriffs may know them. And it is to be
hoped, that as fast as one of the gang ap-
pear within 100 feet of the polls, they will
be given secure accommodations behind
the bars of the city Jail, as well as every
local boss or ward striker, who, in any
manner seeks to interfere with tie election
rights of the people. If lot of imported
bu' lies and suffers are necessary to carry
out the plans of the disreputabie ring, then
no self-respecting man can vote the ticket
they support.

WHIPPED IN COURT.
Witness "Takes His Medicine Like a
Little Man.

NEW YORK, March 11th.-There was a
dramatic feature in the hearing held at
Northboro Thursday before the Committee
for the Care of the Poor sitting at the Town
Hall.
AT recent town meeting George B.
Woods, the Overseer of the Poor Farm,
was denounced as ''cruel tyrant,' and an
investigation committee appointed. About
200 citizens attended the hearing.
One of the charges was that Mary Ann
Clemens, So years old. had been beaten
with leather strap. Edward Lowell. an
other inmate of the Almshouse, testified
that the beating had not hurt the woman
any, as the strap used was small and light.
Much amusement was caused by the wit
ness barring his back to prove his testimony.
The strap is a piece of thin leather, two
inches wide by two feet long, plentifully
marked by holes, and was applied by Rev
Sweet, Chairman of the committee. He
welded it vigorously, while tears streamed
from the eyes of the witness, whose back

Found Dead in Bed


What Constitutes a Republican TicketP
EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN have read great
deal IN an evening paper concerning the
Republican ticket; I listened with delight
to young BRUSHES speech concerning the
duty of Republicans in this Presidential
year; have heard old party men, like hon
ored and renowned Pitt Eldred, tell Re-
puoncans to take their medicine and accept
defeat, no matter how accomplished. and
1t is amusing and likewise amazing to me
to see the effect of these remarks upon
few conservative old Republicans. The
RepudticdR ticket What Republican
ticket? Why the ticket born of fraud.
Graded in corruption, and now grown bv
lying, hypocrisy and trickery. Because
Rhoads, the boss, and Daroux and Roeder.
his Eeutenants, have mes in convention
with their fellows and have promulgated
to the citizens of Sacramento a ticket
composed of men acceptable to them, is
tins to be called Republican ticket?
Because Jas. Dunnigan, Richard Corsaw.
Y, ID. Eldred and others of theil ilk have
put SIX names upon a ticket based on
ballot box stuffing and crime. does that give
them the right TO exclude all decent citi-
zens, all men of social and business posi-
uons, from Republican councils, and to
call their six names the Republican ticket
II the men l have named have the right to
nominate ticket, defying the wishes and
ignoring the entreaties of the respectable
element of the party, they have no right to
call that ticket the Republican ticket. If
the Republican party of Sacramento is to
consist of A. ]. Rhoads, Bart Cavanaugh,
James Dunnigan, Frank Daroux and the
other managers, TO the exclusion of such
men as A. A Van VOORHEES, John Mcneil,
w. H. Beatty, G. T. Wheeler and the
scores of other respectable and taxpaying
citizens, then perish the Republican party.

How Men Die.

If we know all the methods of approach
adopted by an enemy we are the better en-
abled to ward off the danger and postpone
the moment when surrender becomes in
evitable. In many instances the inherent
strength of the body suffices to enable it to
oppose the tendency toward death. Many,
however, have lost these forces to such an
extent that there is little or no help. In
other cases little aid to the weakened
lungs will make all the difference between
sudden death and many years of useful
life. Upon the first symptoms of a cough,
cold or any trouble of the throat or lungs,
give that old and well-known remedy
Boschee's German Syrup--a careful trial.
1t will prove what thousands say of it to
be, the "benefactor of any home"

Some Slight Discrepanci cies.

One of the methods being put forth in
certain quarters, for the defeat of Tim Lee,
for Chief of Police, is the statement that
Mr.. Lee had visited the RECORD UNION
office and made a written statement that if
elected he would be regular three-story
Puritan, to wit: that he would close
all games in Sacramento; that he would
close all saloons at II o'clock each night,
and would enforce the Sunday law This
is correct with the slight exceptions that
Mr.. Lee has never visited this office. nor
signed any promise; there is no law by
which saloons can be closed at IL o'clock
or any other hour, and lastly there are no
Sunday laws to enforce.

TERRIBLE STORM.
Telegraph Wires Down All Over the
East-A Great Storm

New YORK, March 12th-1:3O A. MA
furious storm of wind, accompanied sue
cessively by rain, snow, hail and sleet
broke over the Atlantic coast in this section
early on Sunday evening. 1t travelled in 6
northeasterly direction, as is evidenced by
the loss of telegraphic communication frs
with Washington, then with Baltimore
and lastly with Philadelphia.
1t is safe to say that no such destructive
storm to the telegraph wires has been ex.
perienced in many years. Not one single
wire can be used to Philadelphia, and the
telegraph facilities between that, city and
New York are probably unequaled in any
similar distance in any other country,
For the first time in years the daily
weather report has failed. Strenuous eff.
forts have been made to reach the Capital
by way of Chicago, but they were in vain

A BOSS RULED CITY.

Sacramento is as much cursed by politi-
cal boss rule as any place in the Union.
One Rhoads, who runs a saloon and faro
bank, is the boss who controls all the Re-
publican nominations, and practically de-
cides the result of all elections. He is not
in any proper sense of the word a leader,
having no moral or intellectual influence
whatever, but maintains his power by the
lowest methods-about the same as those
practiced in San Francisco by Buckley
The primaries held at the Capital last Satur-
day furnished a fresh illustration of his
grip on the city. In speaking of the man
ner in which they were conducted, the
REooRD-UNIoN remarks "The manipula-
ton of the bosses on Saturday were so
openly unfair, unjust and unblushing, that
every self-respecting Republican had to
bow his head in shame, and acknowledge
the leadership of those who, when driven
to their hole, dare not squarely contest for
supremacy, but resort to ballot-box stuffing,
fraudulent voting and every mean, low and
despicable method known to the lowest and
most INSCRIPTIONS ward thug" OF course,
the decent, self-respecting members of the
Republican party in Sacramento are in
large majority when compared with the
element that supports the boss, but the bet
ter class are in the habit of allowing the
boss to have his own way, and they make
no effective organization to overthrow him.
The respectable Republicans protest"
murmur," "deplore," and so forth, but
the boss organizes, plans and works, and 50
keeps ontrol.-Maryslaie appeal.
