FOR
1869
And For The Democracy.

ANA FOr Il Mc DcnlOCIdCJ
The Sun believes that the campaign for
the election of Democratic Congress in
1890 and Democratic President in 1892
should begin on or about the fourth of next
March. The Sun will be on hand at the be-
ginning and until the end of the most inter
csting and important political conflict since
the war, doing its honest utmost, as ever, to
secure the triumph of the Democratic party
and the permanent supremacy Of the prlncl-
pies held by Jefferson, Jackson, and Ti|den
The great fact Of the year is the return to
absolute power of the common enemy of all
good Democrats-the political organization
for whose overthrow the Sun fought tor tif-
teen years, the memorable years of Grant
and the Fraud Hayes, and Garfield and Ar
thur.
1t is the same old enemy that Democrats
now confront, and lie will be intrcnchcd in
the same strong position, 1t has been CARR
ed once by brave and hopeful fighting. Do
you not believe with the Sun that the thing
can be done again? Wait and see!
The hope of the loyal efforts Of united
press, chcrishing no memories of the past
differences in non-essentials, forgetting cv.
crything but the lesson of experience, and
that victory Is duty.
Probably you know the Sun already as a
newspaper which gets all the news and
prints it in incomparably interesting shape,
which chronicles facts as they occur and tells
the truth about men and events with abso-
lutte fearlessncss, making the complctcst and
most entertaining journal published any
where on earth, and which sells its opinions
only TO its subsc ibcrs and purchasers at two
cents a copy-on Sunday four cents. lfyou

THE STATES RAILROADS.
The Report of the Com nal lssiOners

hC NcPOht Sho OOiu
Some Pointers.
The advance sheets of the annual re-
port of the Railroad Commissioners are
ready, and convey some very interesting
information. The report shows that
there are thirty-one com mpanies in the
State, seven narrow-gauge and twenty
four broad-gauge, the mileage being 453
and 2,9SS, respectively; total of 3,44l.
Thirty-four roads were incorporated in
the State during the past year, twenty
one of which are in Los Angeles and San
Diego counties. The total mileage added
during the past year was 341.36; 1872
miles being constructed by the Southern
Pacific, S512 by the Santa Fe, and 30
by the San Francisco and North Pacific.
The property accounts show that the
average per mile is $S5, 1888 so. The
number of overland passengers arriving
in and departing from the State by the
Southern Pacific to December 1st was
,959; total West, 99,970; total East,
70,989. difference in favor of the West
of 2S,9S2. The total number of railroad
employees in the State is given at
1905, 12,S45 being employed by the
Southern Pacific, 200 by the California
Pacific, 776 by the Atlantic and Pacific,
and no by the Santa Fe.

FREIGHT RATES.
A n
Important Understan din Y
Among the Railroads.

Among the Railroads.
An important arrangement regarding
freight has been made between the man
ayers of the railroads all over the
country. Shippers are too we'll aware of
the fact that at the recent meeting of the
Transcontinental Convention at Chicago
the freight rates received an advance
nearly all around, amounting to about
70 per cent. difference on the old tariff.
The only reason given out was that the
railroads wanted more revenue, but il
now seems that it was compulsory as far
as the lines were concerned. A HERALD
man was given the facts regarding the
situation yesterday. 1t appears
that tor the last twelve months
scarcely railroad in the country,
especially west 1of the Missouri
River, has been working to profit.
The representatives of the transconti-
mental railroads, after due debate, there
fore decided that it would take an ad-
vance of 20 per cent. on the old rates
before they could operate to advantage,
and that was why the fiat went forth.
But that is not all that was done. They
agreed to strictly adhere to the rates
quoted in the new tariff, and also to keep
up their local rates to the same advance,
80 the year of 1889 will mean higher
freight rates in every direction, and con-
sequently higher prices to consumers.
The Southwestern railroads will adopt
the same plan of defense. Chairman
Midgeley, of the Southwestern Associa-
tion, is hard at work arranging settle
ment which will certainly be accepted by
all the roads. and higher freight tariff
will then be issued and strictly ad-
hersd To

KILLED BY THE FLYER"
4 Distressing Accident at Soutl
CucamOhga.

Distressing Accident at South
CucamOhRa.
At 9 O'Clock yesterday morning the
Cotton flyer bound for Los Angeles over
the Southern Pacific's track struck and
instantly killed Thomas Witheredge at
South Cucamonga. The deceased, who
was about so years Of age and almost
deaf, was in two-horse wagon and had
stopped by the side OF the water tank
with the team while friend of his went
for the mail. For some unknown reason
he started up to cross the track and from
his position at the side of the tank could
not see that the flyer was approaching.
As bad luck would have it he
was very deaf and the shrill
whistle that the engineer sent forth as
he saw the heads of the horses appear
on the track was useless. The train,
which was running almost at full speed,
struck the wagon right in the centre,
killing both horses and man instantly,
and reducing the vehicle to kindling-
wood. Those who were present say that
it was a sickening sight. One of the
horses was torn almost to pieces, and
the whole side of the locomotive and
baggage car was covered with blood.
The headlight of the locomotive was
knocked off and the steps of the first
car torn away, but beyond this no
damage was done to the train. The
Coroner at San Bernardino was at once
notified of what had occurred, and when
some one suggested that Witheredge's
remains be cleared up before his friends
saw him, the man who was with him
said, "He has no friends"
The inquest was held soon after noon
and the jury returned a verdict com.
pletely exonerating the railroad company
and its employees.

COMPROMISED.
The Goyeneche children to be Sent
to School.

The G0yeneche children to be Sent
to School.
A suit that might have furnished some
interesting developments was compro-
missed before Judge Clark yesterday. 1t
was a settlement OF the application OF
John Goyeneche for the custody of his
two small minor children. Goyeneche
is a Frenchman who has passed the
prime of life. Some time ago he was
divorced from his wife, who is a good
looking woman some years his junior.
She has since been remarked and is at
present living contentedly with her new
husband who has acted as model father
to her little boy and girl by Goyeneche.
The latter disliking to see his offspring
paternized by another, took steps to
have the children placed in his custody.
The mother objected and was prepared
to fight the case. All the parties inter-
ested were in court yesterday with their
attorneys, and the case was about to
proceed, when the woman's attorney,
rather than go through with the worry
and expense Of long trial, propc sed
compromise, which was accepted. By
this agreement the children are to be
placed in school, the mother bearing the
expenses of the girls education, and the
father that of the boys. Both
shall be privileged to visit the
children at school as often as the rules
permit, and on each alternate Saturday
the father shall be permitted to take
them to his home, and the next Satur-
day the mother shall have the sams
privilege. The only hitch in making the
agreement was in the father insisting
that both should be put in Catholic
school, he being member Of that faith;
the mother would not agree to this, how
ever, and finally it was decided that the
mother should select school for the girl
and the father for the boy, where each
shall remain until the further order of
the court

A Charming Evening.

A delightful social gathering of friends
was held at the hospitable and beautiful
home of Mr.. and Mrs. S. A. Kendall, on
the corner of Ninth and Alvarado streets,
on Friday evening. The Bonnie Brae is
one Of the most charming spots in this
beautiful city, and the social disposition
of its denizens is not the least OF it's
charms. A large company of refined
ladies and gentlemen were treated on
this occusion to music, refreshments and
amusements that made the fleet hours
seem almost like minutes. The solos Of
the evening were rendered most
artistically by Mrs. Wilson, and Misses
Kimball, Rutledge. st. John and Butler:
These ladies all have highly cultivated
voices, and sing with much ease and
grace.
