The editor Of the Kinsley 1owa)

a democratic wife. A few days
since he attended a base ball game
in an adjoining town, and while he

because it is right. Cleveland has

The South Riverside Land and Water
Company proposes to offer newcomers
ten or twenty acres of land on ten
years credit. and to give them facilities
to procure trees and vines for planting
to start with. The scheme is wise
and a liberal one, and might be
advantageously followed by the extern
sive landholders of Los Angeles county.
A large percentage of the immigration
this winter will be composed of industri-
GUS farmers. They will all have means,
but many will require just such credit
assistance as the Riverside Company
will hold out. They should be able to
get it. The advantage will be mutual.
1t will help the newcomer to tract of
land which his industry will render valu-
able, and it will incrsase the value OF the
residue to the large landholder. To the
city and county it means the accession OF
the kind of population we need to insure
the general prosperity. Let us hear from

INDIANAPOLIS, November pa great
number or Knights OF Labor delegates to
the General Assembly are arriving in the
city to attend the session which begins
tomorrow. A lively time is expected
as it is thought opposition to General

many District Assemblies will not be re-
presented. In fact it has never been
possible to have a really full attendance
at these annual meetings. This year an
attendance OF from $50 to 200 is
all that the leaders look for, but
that number may prove sufficient
to make matters pretty lively. The Com
mittee on Credentials, " which is required
to be in session forty eight hours prior to
the opening session has been steadily at

A MOVEMENT is on foot to double track
the Temple street railroad. 1t is e,ti-
mated that the improvement contem-
plated will cost 100000. The road
traverses one of the most populous and
rapidly growing quarters OF the city. 1t
is understood to be paying as now oper-
ated. With double track it can be
more economically operated, quicker
time can be made and more frequent
trips. All this will aid in inducing more
settlers to make their homes along the
line and thus increase its business.
From what is learned Of the matter. and
of the hands in which it is there is no
reason to doubt that the road will soon
be double tracked.

Commercial Company. He credits the
company with adhering faithfully to its

number OF seals to be killed on the seal

says, where the company's rule is su-

there are thirty thousand natives. The
total population is 1880, and of this

Chairman Quay out Of the election funds

Simpson and some others had obtained
the sole right to the West drainage sys
tenn which he manipulated to advantage
here by selling the right to its use tc
Pasadena, and laying the basis for iti
purchase also by the City of Los Angeles
The Times treats Mr.. Snyder as sort O
soldier of fortune. and as anything but 6
solid man with whom important con
tracts, such as the sewerage of a grea,
city, should be entered into without the
most positive security. If Mr.. Sny der is
the kind of a man depicted, and spent
his time here in the double work of car
rying out an unprincipled election in
trigue and steering patent sewer system
into the acceptance of two Of our cities,
we should be wary OF him and of what
ever he recommends. The City Council
cannot be too careful or circumspect in
its dealings with such q man. If the
Times sizes him rightly, he is both sharp
and INSCRIPTIONS, and is capable Of pull
ling the wool over the eyes of even as
shrewd men as the gentlemen sent East
to report upon the workings Of the West
drainage system. Forewarned, fore.
armed, ought to be the motto of the city
fathers. They may be entering a trap

a great deal OF money before they are

AN WORTHY SENDS A LETTER.
How He Got In a Hole ana Becam
an Exile.

CLEVELAND, O., November l2.-Thom-
as Axworthy. the defaulting City Treas
urer OF Cleveland, who departed from
town $3.50, 900 short and with $15O, 200 of
other peoples money in his carpet-sack,
has written Mayor Babcock letter. 1t
was sent from Montreal, October goth,
and when the Mayor received it he has
tened to Montreal in order to have an in
terview with Axworthy. He remained
week and returned to Cleveland without
having seen his man. Late this after
noon the Mayor gave the newspapers a
copy OF the letter. In it the chief reason
for his acts is given in the following lam
guage:
l went East about October 1st for the
purpose of collecting large sums loaned
by me on call from tune to time during
the last four years, at the suggestion of
! prominent Cleveland parties. 1 had
been receiving the interest regularly, but
greatly to my surprise and horror, when
L demanded the principal, I was an
swered: "We cannot pay it; in fact it
would have been impossible for us to
have done so within four months after
we had made the loans," etc. In fact in
vestigation proved such to be the
case, although supposed the parties to
be worth millions. T need not dwell on
this matter. In fact cannot. It is too
terrible for me to think of or write about.
You will know from the position
L occupied in your city, how my sit
uation must affect me or any other man
that has always been strictly honest to
the letter, thus overwhelmed by circum-
stances which, when too late, he finds
he cannot control. There was combine
ton to ruin me, and it has succeeded.
l am properly and deservedly, perhaps,
a sufferer and exile. -
He transfers to the city of Cleveland
all his property, valued at 1878, 1000, to
make good his shortcomings. He con-
cludes the letter by saying that if that
be not enough to cover the city's loss, he
is willing to contribute further to that
end. Mayor Babcock will probably make
another trip to Montreal, in the hope of
having a personal interview with the
defaulter,
