EaclI to his cid Quarters.

When the 3 :45 p. NJ. train from
San Jose arrived in Sacramento
Friday afternoon, two tall men
stepped from the cars to the plat
form. One was NJ. NJ. Drew, Sher-
if of Sacramento county, and the
other was Arthur d. January, ex-
Deputy State Treasurer ofCaiifornia,
who, while occupying that position,
distracted and squandered from the
States vaults over $4,000 special
deposits OF County Treasuiers. He
was tried, convicted and sentenced
to ten years imprisonment, but has
been at liberty on bail, pending an
appeal to the Supreme Court for a
new trial. His re-arrest indicates
that the Supreme Court has decided
against him. He was taken i'm
mediately to the county Jail where
his father was waiting, doubtless
having been informed of lis sons
coming.

Emigration.

The report of Major Powell, Di-
rector of the Geological Survey, in
regarC. to the storage of water to re-
claim the arid lands, opens up a
wonderful future for the Great West.
Major Powell says there are 1,OOO,-
600 square miles OF arid land that
would be valuable if water could be
obtained to irrigate them. He
further shows that there are $780,
900 square miles of land with an
average rainfall OF fifteen inches per
year, which can be utilized to re-
claim these ard lands. Ii all the
rainfall in this area could be stored
and saved it would give double the
amount necessary to make arabic
all the arid lands. He submits an
estimate showing that a system of
reservoirs that would bring the
waters OF the larger streams under
control would reclaim 10000
square miles that is, 10000, 900
acres, which at $50 an acre would
add 81, $50, OOO,O 900 to the wealth of
the nation. 1t is fact we'll known
in the west that when these "arid
lands" have been reclaimed by
private enterprise they are the
most productive in the country.
Congress should not hesitate to un-
ertake the work.

CeHkliHg and Blaine.

New York, June 3.-Georgc c.
Gorham, in letter filling ten col
umns of the Herald tomorrow, I'M
dertakes to do justice to Roscoe
Conkling in the controversy with
Blaine. Gorham says: "Referring
to the famous scene in the House Of
Representatives in 1866, the re-
cords OF Congress slonsl debates show
that the whole affair was most dis
ceditable to Blaine, and that lie
was rebukea and inundated by the
House to which he had appealed to
vote, wanting only four to make it
unanimous" Gorham quoted
freely from the records to show
Conkling was the victim of con-
spiracy, wherein Blaine, Garfield
and Reid figured. Conkling was
silent martyr to intrigue and false
hood. He accuses tae conspirators
with having used the President and
State Department to further their
personal schemes and punish the
stalwart Republicans.
Gorham's letter is the fullilment
of promise made to Conkling.

Judge Murphy.

The Democrat and Mugwuml
papers have singled out Judge Muir
ply as target for personal attacks
1t Is folly for any man to say tina
after Judge Murphy's experience a:
Judge OF District Court that he il
not qualified fcr the Supreme Bench
The attacks do not represent any
sentiment among voters in this
State but originate simply in per-
| sonal malice vented in a small way.
1t is new thing in this State to
see mud campaign begun on a
candidate for Supreme Judge. We
defy the Democratic press to point
to single instance in which the
personal record, or the abilities Of
any candidate for Supreme Judge
on the Democratic side was assailed
by Republican newspap ers.
Murphy has lived many years in
this State. won an honest living by
hard work at his profession, paid his
debts, KEEP. his word with everybody
and stood by his party principles
under all circumstances.
Now that he was nominated by a
representative body OF some oil the
best Republicans in Nevada by ac
cIamation for the high and honor
able position of Supreme Judge, 4
few men who have been sorry fail
ures in the legal profession vent
their spleen and envy by ridiculous
attempts to beli;tle his ability.
So far no installations againat his
judicial record or his judicial ability |
has come from any one competent |
to judge OF such matters.

instantly recognized. The watch is

RAILROAD INFLUENCE.

A very intelligent correspondent
of the n. Y. Post. writing of the
candidates for Governor in North
Carolina, says:
C.. Al. Steadman is the railroad
candidate-that is the railroads IA
vor his nomination and election.
And that means much here In
North Carolina, for there is no
agency so potent in the nominating
conventions as the railroads. There
has been great opposition to Stead
man. In his own town of Whining
ton, the largest city in North Caro-
lima, the Morning Star, by favoring
his claims, brought upon its head
the ire of a large number Of the
leading business men of the city,
and large amount of money was
raised on the spot to start an oppo-
sition paper.
1t is incomprehensible TO us, why
the people do not wake up to the
fact that railroad managers try to
control nominations. 1t is incom-
prehensible to US, that the people do
not realize the danger of RAILROAD
politicians.
West Virginia Democrat. [volume] (Charles Town, W. Va.) 1885-1890, 1888-01-27

We do most earnestly urge upon
our managing politicians not to at
tempt "a still hunt" They have in
their hands the machinery based on
Federal patronage; they have the
advantage Of the railroad influence
and. since they make money out Of
politics, they can be more active
than those of us who are occupied
with private business and who are
not prompted by selfish motive.
We admit they can manipulate the
primaries and pack the conventions;
we admit they can dictate the nOmi-
nations and name candidates who
are not trusted, who are not respect
ed and who are not qualified to rem
der the kind of service that is need
ed, but "a still hunt policy will
lose us the State The wise course,
and the only wise course, is to place
before voters manly men who are
aggressive and who make no con-
cealments. Let our candidates be
men who hold their heads well up
ana look you square in the eye. We
can win with such men; we cannot
win without them. The rank and
file have not failed to notice that
the machine politicians try to cry
down men of this character, and the
reason is, they will not do the bid
ding Of railroad managers.

The President has appointed Col.
Marshall Mcdonald, Fish Commits
sioner. He has thus secured for the
public the services of man of the
highest scientific attachments and
remarkable capacity. Col. Melon
aid invented fish-ladder that is
being generally adopted, and has
made a number of improvements in
the implements used by the Commits
sion. We predict that he will win
more reputation in his profession
than was gained by the late Prof.
Baird.
Col. Mcdonald was born in Hamp-
shire; is about 81 years of age; he is
the brother of A. w. Mcdonald of
Berryville, and brother-in-law of
Judge Green of this town. He has
been employed by the Fish Commits
sion for several years past, and has
national reputation as scientist.
