owNERsHIP OF RAILROADS.

Mr.. Powderly, in his remarks before the
Farmers Alliance in Florida recently,
brought forward the propriety Of the United
States owning the railroads, or regulating
the prices Of freights and fares. These
questions are likely to become of great i'm
portance ere long. not only with farmers,
but with business men generally. To regu-
late the prices Of freights and fares will, OF
course. be bitterly opposed by railroad COM
panies. but an advance has been already
made by the passage Of the interstate law.
More. however. will have to be done, or the
farming as we'll as the manufacturing and
commercial interests will be greatly injured.

The Harsh Experience of Paymastel
LIZ

The Harsh Experience of Paymaster's
Clerk.
j. r. Redfeld, who is paymaster's yeoman
or the San Francisco. went to DR.. Trull
early Friday morning, looking much as if he
had been run through thrashing machine
There was severe cut across his forehead,
his left eye was closed by large swelling,
his right eye was in mourning and the skin
was knocked off his right hand and the
wrist was sprained. The doctor dressed the
injuries and was told by Redfield that about
IL o'clock the night before, while on his way
to his room, he had been attacked by three
men, who evidently desired to rob him. He
received rough treatment, but made such
vigorous resistance that the plans of the
footpadS were thwarted. 1t seems that dur
ing Thursday afternoon Redfield brought
$1,000 from the ship to the bank. This was
probably observed by his assailantS, who
were no doubt prompted to attack him at
night by the hope that he might have a con-
siderable amount of money about his per-
son.-Vallejo Times, Dec. 18th.

was $4,000, of which 100000 was payable
in gold coin, 25 per cent of the capital stock
of CORPORATION to be raised in England and
% per cent of said stock to be of a par value
of not less than S242, 600 The Complaint
then alleges that F. f. Lutz voted large
blocks of stock which he did not legally
represent, and that the Board of Direc-
tors elected at that time were not legally
elected, and could not make valid instrn-
ment of transfer.

was the consideration agreed upon for the

that the claim of the Amador Gold Mine
Omitted, its present name. be declared void
An injunction to prevent the operation of
the mine is also asked for.

AS affairs now stand railroad may cripple
any interest it pleases for the time being.
1t may make its freight charges so high as
to depress the price of farming lands. This
condition cannot, of course, last always. AS
to Government ownership of railroads. it
would be well to control a few great lines,
and 1t is likely that such result will ulti-
mately become popular throughout the I'm
ion. In Belgium the ownership of railroads
by the Government has worked admirably.

A Distressing Dilemma.

Two fresh young dudes on pleasure and

Saturday afternoon when the train was
being made ready to convey the cXcurtcrS
to the High school picnic at Riverside
park. Seeing a party of their girl ac-
quaintanceS among the passengers they
also boarded the train and were soon en-
gagged in conversation.
The train pulled out and the conductor
came around taking up the tickets. On
seeing the wieIder of the ticket punch
approach the dudes were observed to turn
to a very pale hue, as if an awful thought
had struck them.

and the pallOr of the stricken dudes

the unwrttcn law that all men are re-

the fare of the party of six. They We're

aid, and paid their fares. The conductor

interests and the welfare of the state
Command the respect of your fellow.
citizens by your political integrity
The republican party offers you the
only opportunity of equal rights
within party organization, and the
League clubs furnish an Invaluable
training school.
The league clubs, will explain, are
intended to be permanent in their
character, and necessarily of a social
nature, hence the necessity of separ-
ate organization.
You must rid yourself of the repu-
tation, whether justly earned or not
that today has become prevalent, that
your vote is purchasable, with much
show of truth, as instanced in the re-
cent municipal election in the city of
Houston, where not only large num-
Der of colored voters, am informed,
deliberately voted the democratic
ticket, but even a colored league club
openly endorsed the democratic NOM
inees. If you attempt to organize
league clubs, you must determine to
live up to the well defined objects of
the clubs or expect to be cast out,
as was done in the case of the Hous-
ton club.
In the League clubs you can train
yourselves in the exercise of your pO-
litical duties and should be able to
cleanse your ranks of corrupt, trading
politicians of your own color, who
sell you to the first as well as last
bidder and bring disgrace on your
manhood, and upon the party that
has always interposed in your behalf.
PERMANENT REPUBLICAN ORGANIzA-
TONS.
1.-The ideal Republican club is an
organization that maintains its activi-
ty throughout the year, and every
year" 1T is particularly desirable
that special efforts should be made
to enroll the young men just entering
upon their first political duties and
those who have hitherto been more or
less Indifferent to the management of
political affairs. The club should
provide q comfortable club room, or
headquarters should have a library
and papers, and introduce social fea- |
lures to make the organization attrac-
tive; each club determining for itself |
the particular features of club life, |
ouitCu w ItS lOCaiIUy
The splendid plan of organization,
as embraced in the republican league |
for permanent republican /
club organization under the Republic
can League of the United States, will |
furnish an excellent guide.
These clubs should be schools for
the promotion of the principles and
policy of the republican party. Per-
haps the most dangerous politician in
the land is the political pessimist
whole sole stock in trade is to utter
TRADES against all political parties.
and yet propose no other medium for
he expression of the will of the
people. Political parties are of the
people and for the people, and the
Oessimist libels the people when he
abuses political parties and belittles
heir usefulness and necessity. Let
)ur clubs stimulate a patriotic love
or our common country and glorious
Institutions.
l earnestly ask the cooperation of
ny neutrality-suspicious. in this great
work.

An English Syndicate Formed to Furnish
the Funds.
PORTLAND (Or.), June 19th.-Maior A. T.
Sears returned from England to-day and
will leave on the overland for San Fran
cisco tomorrow, en- route to Peru, taking
the Panama steamer on the 23d, Msjor
Sears left here six months ago for the pur-
pose of inducing English capitalists to in.
vest in an extensive Peruvian irrigation
scheme. He states that he has succeeded
in putting on foot a company with capi-
tai of f500.000.
Prior to taking up his residence in this
city Major Sears lived in Peru, rendering
the Government valuable service in the
matter of constructing railroads, etc., for
which the Peruyians failed to fully remu-
nerate.
Several years ago, however, the Govern
ment made concessions to him of 500 900
acres of land in Northern Peru. This land
he has sold to an English syndicate. and
he is now on his way to Peru to superin-
tend the building of irrigating canals. 1t
is said that much of the land is adapted to
raising Peruvian cotton.
He also represented petition at Wash
ington of the Willamette Pulp Paper Com
pany, Lick Paper Company, California
Paper Company, s. P. Taylor g. Co. and
Corraletos Paper Mill Company, obiectine
to the omission in the revised tariff bill
clause effecting paper makers felting. The
omission practically places the goods men,
toned under a general wooden basis, and
increases the cost of all felts for the paper
makers use. The petitions urged the Cali.
fornia representatives to try and have the
difficulty remedied.
