hand. According to agreement the
Republicans of the Territory, who
are in the majority, allowed the
Democrats to have one-third of the dele.
Gates to this convention, and there will
be strong effort to keep up the minor
ity representation idea in the new consti-
tuition. While much attention is being
paid to elections by individuals, as a
means of stepping into some OF the offic-
ial positions of the new State govern
ment, the euhject matter of the
new organic law is not, by
any means, being overlooked. The
Farmers Alliance organization,
having large membership and being
very powerful politically, has enunciated
platform of principles which they wish
to place in the constitution, and they have
sufficient members in the convention and
enough power in the State to make their
demands great weight. Among the
planks in their platform are the follow
| ing:
Government control of railroads and
of all public necessities; prohibition OF
the liquor traffic; election of United
States Senators by popular vote; courts
of arbitration abolition of the contract
system on public works; self-sustaining
criminals; woman's suffrage; few ap.
pointlve and many elective offices, and
the Australian system of voting.
All these principles cannot be expected
to obtain place in the new constitution,
but many of them will make hard fight
for position. The questions of pro-
hibition, woman's rights, the Australian
ballot system and minority represen.
tstion will come in for 6 good share OF
attention, and there has alre ady been a
good deal of strong argument in favor OF
one legislative body. The Australian
ballot system, with some notifications,
together with one or two of the prin-
cples mentioned, will undoubtedly ap-
pear in the new document.
The constitution already adopted for
the new State of South Dakota is well
thought of here.
| SOUTH DAKOTA CONVENTION.
SIOUX FALLS, OAK, July 3.-Many oi
the delegation to the South Dakota Con-
stitutional Convention are arriving. The
people, by voting to adopt the Sioux
Falls constitution, have left but little foi
them to do. The Convention will probably
keep in session, doing not much if any
thing for three weeks, or more, using uE
Uncle Sans $40, 900; then after the com.
mittee to divide the Territory's money
and valuables get back from the Bis
marck conference, the Convention vii

toned, but it allowed all the material for
the construction and equipment of the
railway to come into the country free OF
duty. Our Pacific railway companies paid
for rails and other material more than
double the prices paid by the Canadian
Pacific. The Canadian Pacific Railway
is, by law, free from taxation forever,
while every mile of our American roads
pays its proportion of taxes to maintain
our Government. The land grant OF the
Canadian Pacific is free from taxation
for twenty years. By the charter
of the Canadian Pacific Railway it
is provided that no road shall be built to
compete with it for twenty years. The
steamers of the Canadian Pacific Com
pany have subsidy of 100000 year
from their government. Owing TO these
and other advantages that the Canadian
Pacific has over its American competitors,
it follows that, toiput them on Uneven loot
ing, our roads must earn 1925 per mile
for every dollar per mile earned by the
Canadian road. Entries at the Custom
House at San Francisco for the year 1888
show that on the two items OF tea and
silk the American railway and steamer
lines lost over 500, 900 in freight, owing
to the competition of the Canadian Pa
cific. One of the ablest railway men in
America, in recent report, says, IN
speaking of this competition: Their
influence on American traffic is already
pronounced and conspicuous, and II
would not be unnatural if, emboldened
by their past success in captur'
ing that which the American
lines have built up and heretofore
held, they would, in future, become
more aggressive, seeing that they com
mand the valuable local traffic OF a vast
domain, the earnings from which are ao
solutely unaffected by any rates they
| choose to make to secure American
freight, however low they may deem i
necessary to make those rates. The
local business of the Canadian Pacific
not being subject to the Interstate Com
merce Law, that Company is in posi-
ton to absolutely dictate and control the
rates at which the United States linef
may carry through traffic."

We Do Ourselves Proud,

The celebration of the Fourth of July
today will be indeed notable event in
the Angelic city. The cars from all
parts of the country came in last night
loaded to the very doors with crowds OF
the good people who come to help US
make the day we celebrate memorable.
The hotels are full to overhowing, and
the streets today will be crowded with
people in holiday array. Our citizens
here responded literally to the demands
of the occasion, and the Committee
has made elaborate arrangements in a
very interesting programme. 1t is quite
proper that it should be so, and the city
is to be congratulated on the success that
the day promises to be. Not the least
interesting feature of the occasion is the
artistic manner in which the city has
been decorated. The citizens have
spared no expense or labor to deck Los
Angeles in all the gay array OF really fes-
tive features. By the way the E1prsss is in
error last night in the statement, the
"Glorious" was never celebrated in Los
Angeles prior to the year 1870. Away
back in 1857 there was a most memor'
able celebration of the day in this city.
The Committee of Arrangements con-
sisted of M. Morris, who is still happily
to the fore, Gen. Drown, j. R. Scott,
John Raines and Brandt. Col. Bell,
the Commandant at Fort TETON,
come down with all his staff, among
whom was Capt. A. B. Chapman, after
ward one of the most distinguished law
yers of the city, and now great orange
grower in the San Gabriel valley. Col.
Bell also brought the military band at
tached to the post, and grand celebra-
tion was had. The festivities were at
the place of Dr.. Hoover, near the river
crossing, where the covered bridge
now is, and the literary part
OF the programme took place at Alexan-
der Bell's place, at the corner of Los An
geles and Also streets. Indeed it was
memorable celebration. 1t lasted week,
and when the accounts were audited the
had spent $1,700 more than
received. Mateo Keller, it was believed,
footed the bills; but whether he did or
not, footed they were, and not a man
lost dollar for any service.

THE VIRGINIA WRECK.
Large Numbers of Dead Bodies
Taken from the Debris.

LYNcHBURG, Va, July 3.-The debris
at the wreck OH the Norfolk and West
ern railroad has been removed and a
number of bodies have been found. The
names Of seventeen persons who were
killed have been ascertained, all Eastern
people. There were about thirty people
who escaped with only slight injuries,
and ten who are seriously injured. The
list of the dead will be increased as the
friends of the missing people come for
ward in search of them. There is no
way at present to ascertain the exact
number Of dead owing to the fact that
many were DESTROYED by fire,

Rio Grande western Extension.

SAN Francisco, July 3.-George
Dodge, son of D. @. Dodge, General
Manager and First Vice-president of the
Rio Grande Western Railroad Com papy,
is in this city. He says the company
has made surveys for an extension into
California. At present the surveys ex-
tend from Salt Lake City to the eastern
State line of California, running through
the mining towns in Utah and Nevada,
on an average of about 200 miles south
Of the Central Pacific route.

Let us Celebrate.

Today we celebrate the Nations birth.
Il is fitting thing that every American,
.whether to the manner born, or citizen
by the operation of adoption, should eel
ebrate it with earnest enthusiasm. To
day memories an event the grandest In
the history of humanity. 1t is the es-
tablishment of system Of government
founded on pure manhood, with no ex-
traneous or fortuitous element to dispute
the sovereignty of the world with man
hood. Wealth, birth and all mere accre-
tions or accidents of manhood are laid
aside, and here each man stands on his
own innate strength and has an oppor-
tunity to make of himeelf the most he
can, to develop to the full all there is OF
manhood and of worth in his soul. The
lowliest man stands in the eye of this gov
eminent in as bright light as does the
offspring of the highest in the land. The
poorest child in the Republic is as pre-
cious in the eyes OF this Nation as is the
offspring of the wealthiest. Manhood
here enters the arena of life to contest
for life's highest prizes untrammeled by
a tradition, unfettered by condition
external to his own personality. Cir
cumstances may be accidentally cast in
q mans way here; but there is no OBJ
stacle which perseverance, ability and
virtue may not surmount. The laws OF
our land do not forbid ambition to at
tempt to climb over all obstacles. The
traditions of this country do not hallow
oppressive wronge, nor do they make
sacred the letters that bind mems souls.
This is, in nutshell, the whole of
Americanism. Americanism is the
apotheosis of manhood. Rightly in
terpreted. that is the full meaning of the
Declaration of Independence. Rightly
developed that is what the Constitution
aims to perfect. Perfectly carried out,
that is what this Government will in
sure to every man born within its broad
bounds, or adopted into oitsliberal embrace.
The Republic will do this if not wrested
from the purposes of the Fathers who
founded its massive principles and up
builded its broad institutions. 1t will do
this-consecrate, apotheosize, deity man
hood-or it will fail.
Let manhood, then, be glad today
Let freemen everywhere rejoice in their
liberty Let Americans all magnify the
plenitude of their great birthright!

SAN FRANCISCO, Jnly 3-At recent
meeting of the State Board Of Trade the
matter of continuing "Californa on

How We Planned for Canada's
benefit.

The Canadian Pacific line Of steamers from
Vancouver TO Japan he's now been Summing for
q little over y ar and are completely cuitt g
out the Pacific Mail steamers under the Upited
States flag, which sail from San Francisco. The
rates Of freight are much the same, yet In the
past tea season .the Canadian Pacific steamers
carried s, 1857, ,944 pounds of Japan tea, against
only 735, ,265 pounds carried by their American
rivals, and the curious circumstance Is that more
United States. Not in tea only, but in all other
goods, lie the preference given to the Canadian
line, which now carries large part OF the
tined for the United States. The jour-
ney to Vancouver Is shorter. but this alone
would not account for this wholesale transfer
of ftrade.-fCdnddidn Manufacturer.
Boastings like the above have been very
frequent of late in Canadian newspapers.
1t is quite true that the Canadian Pacific
Rail way and Canadian Pacific steamers
''are completely cutting out" their Am
erican rivals, and it is also true that the
fact that the distance by way of Van.
couver being shorter by trife than via
San Francisco, does "not account for this
wholesale transfer of trade" The Cam
adisn Pacific Railway Company was en-
dowed by the Canadian Government
with sixty millions of dollars and twenty
five million acres of land, yet it owes its
success as a rival of our American
reads principally to the operation
of our own Interstate Commerce
Law. By this law the tariff of our roads
is regulated. Our railways cannot
charge more per mile for hauling freight
n long than for q short distance. But
the Canadian roads are free from any
such law and from any such restrictions.
The Canadian Pacific Company can
charge twice as much for hauling freight
from Vancouver to Winnepeg as it
charges from Vancouver to Montreal.
Our legislators, when they passed the
Interstate Commerce Law, did not un.
derstand that they were fostering the
trade of all Canadian competing lines.
They did not take into account the enor-
NOUS advantages the Canadian Pacific
Railway enjoys over the American Pa
cific railways. Not only did the Gov
ernment make to the Canadian
Pacific Company the unparalleled endow'
maat in money and lands above mt n
