The Republicans of Virginia. in State Conven-
ton assembled congratulate the people of the
Commonwealth and the Union upon the happy
restoration of Republican administration in
Federal affairs, and reaff1rm their devotion to
the national Republican party and its princi-
pies, with their earnest approval OF its policy OF
a protective tariff which favorS and renders ne
cessary the repeal of the existing OnerouS war
taxes on tobacco and fruit-brandies and where
by American labor is secured in it's best rewards
and American production it's best markets, while
it affords abundant means to pursue the noble
scheme of patriotism and craftsmanship, thrice
proclaimed by Republican Senate in the Blair
BILL to afford generous aid to the free schools of
the State by national appropriations. The Re
publicanS of Virginia, averr1ng their positive
knowledge that true return of the polls in the
elections of last November would have given
the electoral vote of this State to the Republican
ticket, congratulate President Harrison upon
his election, despite fraud here and elsewhere,
and they promise his Administration their
hearty support, which it has already demons
trated that it well deserves from all good citi-
zenS.
Confident in their strength and steadily grow
ing in numbers, the Republicans of Virginia hail
the triumph OF the national party at the last
election as a harbinger of the victory which
awaits their own State party in now resOlutely
taking the field in response to the widespread
and still spreading sentiment that demands
complete change and reform in the admniStra-
ton of the Commonwealth as the only adequate

How it must hurt thee, dear, to have 1t so,
Now when our need is sore.

The COMPANY Not Responsible,

Some time ago Michael ]. Kerrigan pur-
chased of the Southern Pacific a special
round trip excursion ticket from San Jose
to Gilroy Hot Springs Part of the trip
had to be made on stage coach line owned
by one J. Paine The ticket issued by the
Southern Pacific had coupon for the stage
trip, but there was printed on The coupon a
caution to the effect that as the ticket was
issued at less rate than the regular tariff,
and the company was simply acting as an
agent for the stsge company, no reponsi-
bility would be assumed for any portion Of
the route other than that where the rail-
road company itself actually carried the
passenger.
Kerrigan got to the Hot Springs all right,
but in returning the stage coach upset, and
he received serious injuries. He sued to
recover damages from the Southern Pacific
and from Paine. Both defendants an
swered, but when the case was called for
trial only the Southern Pacific entered a
defense, and Immediately obtained nom
suit. The jury found verdict against
Paine. From the order granting a nom
suit to the Southern Pacific Kerrlgan APP
pealed to the Supreme Court. That tribunal
Yesterday handed down a decision affirm

THEY NEED HELP.
A Blind Mother and Her Two Children
Homeless and Penniless.

A Blind Mother and Her Two Children
Homeless and Penniless.
Yesterday a blind lady and her daughter
presented themselves at the Court house,
seeking aid from the county to enable them
to reach Santa Cruz. The lady, Mrs. NJ. A.
Larned. said she left the East, with her
daughter and invalid son, hoping to reach
Santa Cruz before her means gave out, but
parted with her last cent in the West.
Kind-hearted persons had helped them
along thus far, and they put up at the
Western Hotel.
She said her son was so i'll that she
feared lie might not live to reach their des-
tination, and City Physician Nichols re-
sponded to call for his services and at
tended the young man. Mrs. Larned had
letters of Endorsement from Grand Army
organizations, her husband being an old
soldier.
A citizen who heard her pitiful story
made provision for their lodgings last
night but they are sadly in need of little
money to enable them to reach their old
home in Santa Cruz. Charitably inclined
persons may do a very worthy act to-day
by calling at the hotel and aiding them.
This is the Christian Sabbath, aud the
better the day the better the deed" These
poor people seem 10 be intelligent. honest
and worthy, and fit subjects for charity.

Mr.. Brander Mathews, in discussing
the international copyright question, we'll
said in his monograph on good books and
cheap books, that the statistics of the book
trade show that in America the cheapest
books are not good books for the most
part certainly, not the best books In
Europe the best books are the cheapest
Mr.. Mathews says: 'That this unfortunate
state Of affairs in this country is the result
Of the absence of international copyright,
and the inevitable instability of the book
trade, maintain; and l assert also that
the consequences of the present unhealthy
condition are injurious to the character of
the American people. We now enjoy the
privilege of piracy, as the dwellers on a
rocky islet used TO enjoy the privilege of
wrecking-and we avail ourselves of this
privilege only to the perdition of our own
souls" Mr. Mathews puts it very strongly,
but it is true that the piracy of the book
men is shameless, and results in injury to
the reading public that is not compensated
for by the few good works that by reason
of theft are given to the reader cheaply.

A Hero Dead.

An old man died in San Francisco day
or two ago who was once lauded as hero
in Sacramento. His name was John Pen
dergast, and for the past ten years he has
earned living with lung tester" which
he kept on the sidewalk on Kearny street,
near Washington. In 1861, when the gold
fever was about over, Pendergast was work
ing on a ranch near Sacramento. When
the flood first came down that year, Snau-
Der, the owner of the ranch on which
Pendergast worked, was swept under some
debris and killed. His wife and five chill
dren were left alone in the ranch house.
Pendergast was in Sacramento, but imme-
diately left for the ranch. He found it un-
der water, and the family were on the roof
of their dwelling. which was rapidly going
to pieces. Pendergast swan out to the
house and brought the unfortunate family
one by one to dry land. 1t is said he had
to swim a quarter of mile with each one
of those he rescued. He saved all except
the younges, child, which as killed in his
arms by drifting log, which also injured
him severely. Some months ago he be-
came Frustrated with paralysis, from which
he never recovered.

IT is a scheme by no means visionary
that one of the South American delegates
to the Pan American Congress proposes
to take one hundred American merchants
on tour through the States of South
America. 1t would be of immense adyan-
tage to this country, and be potential in
huence in charging the commercial knowl-
edge of both sections concerning the needs
of seller and buyer. We can understand,
too, what an influence it would exert in
bringing the people of the two continents
into closer sympathy. The estimate is
that the entire expense would not exceed
S25, COO for each of the Governments, and
the delegate feels confident that the South
American States viii readily engage to
meet so small bill as that. The trip
would last six months, and therefore men
would Of necessity be selected for our rep
resentatives who would give the time neces-
sary. They should be representative mer-
chants, mechanics. manufacturers, agri-
culturists, ship-builders, railway construct
ors, scientific men, and an official repre-
sentative of the nation. The more the
scheme is considered the more fayorably it
VIII impress the mind It is the natural
outgrowth of the trip to which our own
Government has just treated the Pan
Americans, and to the cost of which no
citizen has raised the slightest objection.

IT is more than possible, it is probable
indeed, that the youth of twelve to-day
will, if he attains his majority, be witness
to such changes in the political map of the
world as viii include the overthrow of all,
or nearly all monarchies, or the modifca-
ton of monarchical systems, until there is
but the mere semblance of royalty left
among civilized peoples. He is more than
likely to see the time when the aggregate
of the armed men of all Europe will not
equal half the number of the standing
army that Germany now maintains The
leaven of the example of the people OF
Brazil may work out such changes as the
most ardent champion of democratic IL
stitutions has not dared to hope Tor as
possible within the century.

THE accommodated Mormons CON
tinue to reveal the secrets of the Endow.
ment House, under oath, in the Courts Of
Utah. In every instance the recitals con-
firm the stories published years ago by
Mrs. Stenhouse and other writers. The
curtain is now lifted in an authoritative
manner and the utter hollowness of the
pretense of the Mormon priesthood that the
church is loyal to the Government of the
United States is revealed. It is now estab.
lished in legal tribunal that the Nor.
mon Church is the enemy of the United
States, and that it is guilty of seditious
doctrines and traitorous oaths exacted
from its members. So long as such a
church rules the sentiment of Utah, the
Territory is a good tract of country tc
keep out of the sisterhood of States.
