ALONG THE RAIL.
Another Line Said to Be Head
ing for the Bay City.

Another railroad scheme is in the air, and
the oracles are discussing its pros and cons.
This time it is the Great Northern. This
Great Northern, it is the report, is about to
extend its line from Butte City to Ukiah,
absorb the San Francisco and North Pacific,
and give San Francisco transcontinental
line. Henry d. Minot, President OF the
Eastern Railway of Montana, which is q
part of the Great Northern system, arrived
here recently, Ostensibly on pleasure trip.
He had been here only few days when he
was followed by f. C. Cruger, purchasing
agent of the same road. who shipped from
ST. Louis carload of office furniture,
which it is argued looks as though they
meant to do some work or the Coast.
1t is known that the Seligmans are inter
ested in this road, and that they recently
sold Great Northern bonds in London to
the amount of S10,O0O,000 1t is also known
that they hold Donahue bonds to the amount
of 1900, aud from these facts those high
and wise ID the council of the mysteries"
draw concluSion-the conclusion that the
Great Northern will extend its lines from
Butte TO San francisco. Surveys have been
made as far as Boise City, from which point
the line will extend in southwesterly di-
rectlon to Fort BidweIl, and, crossing the
Southern Pacific track few miles north of
Redding, viii run south through Mendocino
at u kiah.

TAX COLLECTORS OFFICE.

On examining the books of the Tax Collector
and Auditor we found that large amount, aggre-
eating many millions OF dollars, IS carried on the
books OF Ihe Auditor and OF the Tax Collector,
entailing much clerical labor without any posi-
bility Of corresponding benefit TO the city. Since
the fiscal year 1S571S5S each succeeding Tax
Collector has retired from 0fflce leaving behind
him large amount of uncoliected delinquent
taxes When new Tax Collector takes his
Office all uncoliected taxes charged against his
predecessor 10 The Auditors Office are trans
TERED to his account and charged against him
on the BOOKS OF the Auditor. When the in
cuinbent took his office a charge was made
against MIN OF S14,299, 345 SO for delinquent
taxes which had accrued since 1S57-1S5S, rep
resentlng the denominations of unsolicited taxes
from that period up TO and Including the fiscal
year ending july /, 1890 The great bulk OF
this large aggregate amount represents an i'm
menss number OF very small claims which are
wholly unc0llectable In many cases the persons
recorded on the books as dellnquents have died
or disappeared We suggest that q system might
be devised by which CANCELLATIONS could be made
at stated periods, after proper investigation, and
that this course might save clerical work III the
offices OF the Auditor aud Tax Collector.

"a LOCAL mathematician figures out

coed that sum and probably in greater

tainly not wise. To say that future
generations will pay for it is positively
mOnstrous. They will have enough to
pay for in obligations and blunders al

A NUMBER of Republican politicians
in Minneapolis favor the concentration
Of political power in general com.
mlttee which would represent the city,
county and congressional committees.
This plan was first suggested by A. j.
Boardman, and seems to be very plau-
sible. One thing it will prevent if
adopted, and that is, the bleeding" of
the different committees By SO called
politicians under the guise Of being
able to turn over a large number Of
votes therefor. The central organiza-
ton would no doubt cut down expenses
very much, and that is very important
feature in any political campaign. The
plan however does not seem to meet
with any consid erable amount Of appro-
val, which leads one to believe that a
number OF our so called politicians are
in the business for the revenue there is
in it. .

SATURDAY. AUGUST Is, 1890
CARDINAL EEWMAN DEAD.

The Catholic Church throughout the
world was much shocked during the
week to hear of the rather unexpected
death of Cardinal Newman. Though
His Eminence was an old man at the
time of his death, his demise was rather
unexpected He was ill but a few days,
and an acute attack of pneumonia was
more than his shattered frame could
bear. Cardinal Newman's home was at
Edgbaston suburb of Birmingham
where thousand of sympathizing friends
called to learn of his condition before
his death. But when the sad news went
out there was universal sorrow over the
dignitary's departure. He was great
favorite in England among all classes,
and his death called forth many regrets
from the leading men Of the country.
To the Church to which Cardinal New
man was convert, the loss is incOm-
measurable. He was leading spirit OF
the Church in England, and for many
years had taken very prominent part
in temperance as we'll as labor matters.
Cardinal Newman was educated in Ok
ford and was ordained Episcopal minis
ter when but a young man. For mum.
Der of years he worked faithfully in the
cause of his church, and was fast be-
coming it's leader in England. when he
was converted to Catholicism. He was
then Al pears old, and was soon after
wards ordained priest. Ten years later
he was appointed rector of the Dublin
Catholic university. In 1879 he was
consecrated Cardinal, and ever since
has held. the same power and sway
among his Protestant friends that he
did while a member of their church.
He was one of the brightest scholars Of
the age. and his works are regarded as
the best of their kind ever written. He
contributed many articles to Catholic
monthlies and other papers, and made
a thorough study OF the labor problem.
Few men in England were as extern
sively read as he, and few had the kind
ness of heart that he had. His loss to
England is very great, but she can at
ford to lose HIM much better than can
the Church of which he was so distin-
guished priest. May his soul rest in
peace.

The remains Of Gen. Grant will in all
probability be removed from New York
to Washington. While the senate was
in session last Saturday Mr., Plumb
brought the matter up and now nothing
remains but to get the consent of Mrs.
Grant. New Y ork wanted the World s
Fair, but it did not get it, evidently be-
cause it could not erect a suitable mon
ument to the memory of Ulysses S.
Grant. New York people do lots of
talking, but when 1t comes to put up
good hard cash they are not IN the deal,
