CLINTON, n. c.,
Feb. 18th, 1889.

GU. itils COZ. J
On January 3lst the Truckers in
and around Clinton, \. c., met in
the Courthouse in this place and or
ganized TEUCKER's ASSOCIATION.
We are sure that such Associations
in every trucking section would be
Of considerable local benefit, and if
all the sections would combine and
form a State Truckers Association
that we all would enjoy a double
benefit. The advantages to be de-
trived from such an organization
with central bureau Of correspond
enCe, are threcfold:
LIST. We could be informed as to
the reliability Of consignees, to
whom shipments were made.
End. We could advantagaously di-
.vesify the trucking crops by knowing
what other sections were planting,
aneAalso be informed as TO the pros
pective market for the various crops.
3rd. We could ship SO as to realize
better profit by knowing to what
points on a certain day other places
were shipping.
Through the want OF such lnfor-
nation and a system OF operation,
fully one half of the trucking crop
is lost or sacrificed each year.
Believing that all other sections
have experienced the same disad-
vantages, and that all truckers will
readily cooperate with us in any
feasible plan for the r4medying of.
these evils, we earnestly solicit the
truckers in other sections to form at
once similar organizations and to
correspond with lis to that effect,
naming time and place for q meet
ing of the delegates from the various
Sub-Associations for the purpose of
organizing q State Truckers Associ-
alton.
We take this opportunity OF nom
mating Clinton as the place, aad
April the 9th aud 9Th as the time for
the meeting Of said delegates. 1t
this meets with the approval of 9th
or sections, we win secure reduced
railroad rates and entertain the dele
gates free of charge. However, if
another place is preferred, Clinton
will gracefully give way and meet
the delegates at any other point.
Feeling sure that you Will concur
with us il the Importance of and
necessity for such an organization,
and trusting that you will heartily
cooperate with us in pushing the
organization and securing through
it the desired and much needed Tc-
suits,
We are Very Respectfully,

ROSEBUD, OAK, June 17.-At the coun.
Gil between the different bands Of
Indians yesterday afternoon it was de.
cided to hold another council among

are in minority. Opponents of the bill
have been aided by outside support, and
their united strength is formidable.
A council was held this afternoon, at
which Old-Man-Afraid-of- His Horpe, Red
Cloud, Little Wound, Blue Horse, Young
Man Afraid. of. His Horse, and other
chiefs spoke. Their talk was rehe irsal
by each of his own individual
views as to the promises of the treaty Of
1868, which had not been fulfilled.
When they finished, Major Warner ex-
planned the provisions very much in the
same way as at Rosebud, and, in
addition, explained the part OF
the bill in reference to paying
Red Cloud for his ponies, and told
them to be careful of any men who
wanted to get any of this money. That

interest OF all of them that the
bill should be accepted, still the
commissioners wanted them to do az

The u,stortcaI society.

The members of the Historical Society
met at the Normal School yesterday
afternoon, and through the courtesy of
it's Curator, Ira More, looked over its
library and curios which it has been
collecting for the past six years. The
Society then procdeded in body to the
residence of Hon. A. F. Coronel, on the
corner of Seventh and Center streets,
where they were given handsome recer-
ton by Don Antonio and Dofia Mariana
Coronel. The remainder of the after
noon was spent inspecting the Coronel
museum, which is one Of the finest in
the State. In Southern California relics
and Mexican antiquities, it certainly
cannot be excelled. On being assembled
in the parlors, wine and other refresh
ments were served, and Don Antonio
Coronei gave the opening toast, "To the
Historical Society,"" wishing it prosper.

or for the city, shall have charge OF the
enforcement of all ordinances relat-
ing to buildings, and shall keep
record of all building permits.
This is mere skeleton outline OF his
duties, and the Charter stipulates that
he shall devote his entire time to the
work. Mayor Hazard nominated MIR.
o. J. Murchmore to the post, and he was
unanimously confirmed. Mr.. Murch-
more came to Los Angeles originally as
the architect of the Main and Tenth
street hotel, and is the Superintendent
of the Federal building now in process
of erection. The appointment is un-
questionably one eminently fit to be
made, and we look for substantial bene-
fits to the city as the result of his ap-
pointment.

The New Police Rules.

In accord nee with the new code of
rules adopted by the police, number OF
cards were distributed among the force
yesterday, containing form of an affida-
Wit to be filled out and sworn to before a
notary or Justice Of the Peace. Most OF
the men went before Police Judge Stan
ton and swore to the statements made in
the document when filed out. 1t was
required of each man that he should tes-
tify to his being between the age Of 25
and 90 years, and to having voted at the
last election. About sixty of the eighty
mem bers of the force have handed back
the cards signed and filed out. The fol-
lowing failed TO come under the age OF
~n ~n years! Appel, Hare, Wetherman,
Rulo, Ellis, Lennox, Glidden. The fol-
lowing could not say that they had exer-
cised the right of suffrage at the last cleo
ton: Goodman, Cich, Merry, Flynn,
Mercer.s What action will be taken by
the Board of Police Commissioners is not
known. Those who did not vote will, it
said, be dropped from the list, but it is
not impossible that the Others will be al
lowed to remain, and the rule OF so years
be applied only to the future.

During the coming week the ILLUS
TRATED HERALD will be issued. 1t will
be the ninth OF the series, the first hav-
ing made its appearance about this time
in 1880. 1t is no exaggeration to say
that the initial number OF this publica-
ton did more to inaugurste what is
known as the Los Angeles "boom"
than any ether single agency.
The current number will COM
prize forty-eight pages, and will
surpass all its predecessors in splendor
OF illustrations and copiousness and value
of letterpress. 1t is the frozen truth that
no publication devoted to advertising q
section has ever been issued comparable
to the Forthcoming g ILLUSTRATED HERALD.
1t is simply superb. 1t will be sold fol
fifteen cents per single copy, and to news
dealers and others in quantities at a re-
duced figure.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE President
and party returned home from their
cruise on the river in Wanamaker's
yacht to-day.
Relative to the published statement
that the seamen of the Vandalia had
been discharged in San Francisco with
out pay and are dependent upon charity,
it is said at the Navy Department that
no such men have been discharged, ex-
cept Ia the case of few special service,
stewards, cooks End servants who are
living on the Pacific CU,sst. Inc seaihen
we're transferred to receiving ships upon
their arrival at San Francisco. tne ac-
counts of the Trenton and Nipsic were
saved, 80 there has been no difficulty IN
issuing money to the crews OF those shlns.
The Vandalia's accounts were lost; new
rolls we're, therefore, opened dating from
the disaster, and there have been Issued
the amounts of money accrued to the
credit of the men since that date. The
amounts due, prior to the wreck, must
undergo adjustment by the accounting
officers of the Treasury. 1t is said at the
department that if any of the Vandalis's g
men are knocking about San Fran
cisco,' as described, they must be strag-
glers without leave, or men ''on liberty
amusing themselves according to their
wont. The law authorizes settlement
with enlisted men in case of casualty
whereby the ship may have been sunk
| together with the rolls and papers, based
upon the last quarterly accounts received
at the Treasury and also provides fol
paying to the petty officers, seamen and
others not officers, whose personal Ell
fects have been lost, sum not exceed
ing $50 each.
Some time ago, Rev. DIR. Childs, at the
request of Secretary Noble, went to the
Hampton Indian School and quietly in
vestigated the complaints in regard tC
the management of the Indians which
had been brought to the attention OF the
Government. DR.. Childs' report was tc
the effect that the food given to the In
dian BOYS was not good, and that the
Indians complained that the contribu
tions made for their benefit were used
for the benefit of the negroes of the
school. Dr. Childs also animadverted
severely upon the use of the noisome
dungeon, or guardhouse, built in the base
ment under the offices of the institution.
General Clinton B. Fisk, chairman of the
Board of Indian G Commissioners, sent two
members of the Board to
Hampton, who made a report
contradictory to that of Childs
DIR. Childs has written letter to General
Fisk, in which he says that it is evident
that there were things which needed cor
rection from the fact that they were cor
rected after his investigation, and that
Indians had sent representative to this
city to return thanks for their improved
condition. AS to the immuring of lndi'
ans in the dungeon, he says he is
amazed that the Board can defend this
mode of disciplining Indian children. II
is understood that Secretary Noble has
decided that cell punishment shall moi
be inflicted hereafter.

The ssHerald'' and the Federal
Building.

The Tribune yesterday contained a
column trying to show that the HERALD
has been inconsistent in its attitude re-
specting the Federal building in Los
Angeles. This long and rambling dis
sertation, practically about nothing,
suggests to the reader nothing SO
strongly as the experiences on the Vir-
ginia shore of one who tries to reach
Point-no-Point. The further he ad-
vances the further he seems to get from
the point for which he started. AS a
matter of fact, the HERALD is as consis-
tent in this instance as in all others.
1t was the first daily journal published
in Los Angeles to call attention to the
gross inadequacy OF the accommodations
proposed for the Fe eral officials in
city 30 large as ours, and growing 30
rapidly. 1t was also the first journal to
difficulty, which would be to carry up
the present building another story and
build a Postofice somewhere else. This
is perfectly feasible, and quite usual,
While the Postoffice and the other Fed
eral buildings in San Francisco, with the
exception of the Mint, are near together,
they are absolutely independent OF each
other, while the Mint is miles away from
both Postoffice, Custom House and Unit
ed States Courts. The same rule pre-
walls in other cities, and ought to prevail
here. The Tribune is treating the ques-
ton from the jobbing point of view,
while the HERALD is simply looking to
the good of the public. One OF the prin-
cipal managers of the Tribune is sup
posed to have "pull" with the Repub-
lican powers that be, and he is using it
for all that is out. By constantly tick
ling General Vsndever's vanity on his
silly Lower California project of acquisi-
ton, the facile editor of that paper hopes
to create commercial proposition in the
removal of the site of the Federal build
ing. The HERALD's suggestion is one
easily understood. 1t believes that half a
loaf is better than no bread
that bird in hand is worth two
in the bush, and 80 on to the
end of the chapter, with adages multi
piled to the standard of Sancho Panza,
if need be. Believing thus, it desires to
zee work continued on the present Gov
eminent building, and half to three.
quarters of million dollars appropriated
to the erection of Postoffice to be
located at the point most conducive to
the public interest, Simply that and
nothing more. AS we do not claim to
have, and could not have in the nature
of things, any 'pull" with the admins
tration, we are released from the tempta-
ton of aiming at anything but the public
welfare.

VIZ notice that the Council frequently

We notice that the Council frequently
passes ordinances of intention to change
and to establish grades of streets without
publishing the notices of intention. OF
course this is done by the easy method
of suspending the rule which re-
quires the publishing of such notices.
There may occasionally be reason of ur-
gency in the matter of establishing
grades, but to change a grade is OF 30
serious moment to property-owners that
the utmost deliberation should be ex-
ercised. To change the grade of street
often not only affects the property on
the street named, but upon, all adjoin-
ing streets, and the people should GER
tainly have every opportunity allowed
by the rules and the law to thoroughly
understand the nature and effect OF the
change before it is put upon its passage.
In these cases, to hasten slowly is the
wisest, as well as best course to pursue.

THAT rare old American comedian,
John Gilbert, died in Boston yesterday
at a very advanced age. Mr.. Gil.
bert was at the very head Of
the old school of stock actors.
He has been a leading member
of all the best genteel comedy companies
of New York and Boston for the past
forty years. With Chippendale, Fisher
and Walcot, he was a member of the
celebrated company that made the
Park Theater in New York classic
under the management of James Simp.
SOD. AS "Sir Peter Teazle" he had abso'
lutely no coTpeer, and in the whole
range of old English comedy he was its
most eminent interpreter. Mr.. Gilbert
had reached his 18th year.

CoUNcILMEN McLain and Bonsall have
very properly interposed a protest against
the rapidity with which we are increas-
ing electric masts in this city. If we
keep on at this rate, the cost OF electric
lights, which now amounts to one
tenth of all the expenses of the city,
will soon reach enormous dimensions.
We believe in we)l-lighted streets, ,and we
are aware that every good light is equal
to good policeman. But Los Angeles
covers an immense area OF territory and ii
we are TO furnish lights on the principle
that the sparsely settled districts are en-
titled to as many masts as the
densely populated districts, we shall
swamp the treasury. In this connection
we believe that the Council should
opt some certain mode of ascer-
tanning whether the city gets the amount
of illuminating power from the lights
whi b it con tracted for. This question
has been raised number OF times in the
Council; but it has never been urged to a
satisfactory answer. Let us find out if
we are getting the illuminating power We
are entitled to, and if not, make the cleo
trio company furnish it in the shape OF
new masts in places that require them.

officer should have been deferred 80 long.

Nothing to ne Feared.

WORCESTER, Mass, June 17.-Senator
Hoar reached here yesterday, after his
Wettern trip with the Senate committee
on Trade Relations with Canada. He
said the Impressions that the fortifics-
tions at Esquimalt, Vancouver Island,
are menace to the United States, is un-
founded, as the island has not the nat
ural advantages necessary to make it a
formidable fortification. He WAS satis-
fed that the ties of affection between
Canada and the United States are a
guarantee of peace.
