The fellow who loafs around on the streets
all day and goes home 10 wife, mother or
sister, who works hard to support him, can
tell you exactly what the country needs to
make it prosperous. what policy a paper
ought to pursue and what kind of matter
1t ought to get up TO make it glorious
success.
Not only that, but he can tell You all
about every mans business in town, except
his own. But the fact is, he has no busi-
ness. He's man of elegant leisure, and
can tell you exactly how the town, county,
State and national Government ought to be
run, but generally, he tells you how it
must not be run, looks wise, rolls his head
from one side TO the other and shakes it
ominously and predicts all sorts of trouble
if things are not changed to conform to his
views. He's wise in his own conceit;
man of ''inflooence" on election days; has
whole lot of votes at his command; be-
lieves the will of the people should rule
and pirates loudly how the people are
wronged and tells you he can right them if
you'll only do as he tells you and vote as
he votes. Oh! he's whole political COM
pendulum in himself. He's one of the dear
people.-Red Bluff Sentinel.

A Compromise Bill May be Introduced
in the House.

WASHINGTON, June 1Sth.-There is strong
probability that the difficulty arising over the
position in which the Republicans in the
House find themselves, in consequence of the
passage of the free coinage silver bill by the
Senate, will be overcome tor the present by a
reference of the measure to the Coinage,
Weights and Measures Committee. Indeed, it
was said that the Speaker had, late this even
ing, ordered the bill to be REFER to that Com
mittee.
Representative Conger, Chairman of the Coin
age Committee, had several interviews with
Reed during the day, and, supported by other
members OF the House, urged that under the
rules the only proper thing for the Speaker to
do was to make the reference mentioned.
Conger at II o'clock tonight said he did not
believe Reed had decided the question, though
he might have done so. Under the rules this
reference could be made at any time, and
nothing more would be necessary than the
Speakers order.
1t is believed by the friends of the original
House bill that this reference would result in
securing time within which to reach q compro-
mise basis upon which both the Senate and the
House can stand Considerable silver men are
of the opinion that the outcome of the pro
posed reference of the bill back to the COM
mittee would be the passage of liberal silver
bill and the defeat OF the Senate bill.

Probably the oldest liuinn q

Probably the Oldest living authoress in
this country is Mrs. Elizabeth Oakes Smith,
who was very prominent before the war,
not only as writer, but as lecturer. AL
though she is still a contributor to one of
the literary weeklies, both in prose and
verse; her name is rarely seen elsewhere,
and the general impression doubtless is
that she has passed away. The standards
of criticism are SO different now from what
they were thirty years since, that her
works-poems, novels, tragedies, and mis-
cellanies-would not be ranked nearly so
high as formerly. Born at what is now
Cumberland, Me.-her maiden name was
Prince-she was married at 16 to Seba
Smith, author of the once famous Major
Jack Downing letters. She became
widow some twenty odd years ago, and has
been living most of the time since at the
small town of Hollywood, n. c., near the
coast, where at S4 she is in excellent, vigor-
Gus health. She was one of the early ad-
vocates of woman's rights, speaking on the
subject in all the larger cities, and con-
tributing articles to the magazines of
the day. "Woman and Her Needs" pub
lished forty years ago, attracted much
attention and elected warm commenda-
tion. Mrs. Smith has witnessed extraor-
dinary changes in the republic, and has
survived nearly all of hel. contemporaries,
many of whom occupied exalted positions
in her youth and have now passed into
oblivion.

RAILWAY MATTERS.
Rumor of New Road to Parallel the
Union Pacific.

CHICAGO, June 1Sth.-Word comes from Sioux
City that the greatest of American railroad mys-
teries. the Pacific Short Line, is being pushed
rapidly to completion. In spite of denials by
lines supposedly interested, some one is putting
up millions for the construction, and before
snow falls the Union Pacific may have a COM
petitor for every pound of through traffic be,
tween Ogden and the Missouri river.
Two explanations of the building of the line
are interesting and plausible, but neither can be
confirmed. The first is. it will not cost half the
amount which the Union Pacific owes the Gov
ernment, and the second it practically parallels
the Union Pacific and has all It's connections, in
addition to the northern outlets via the Great
Northern and Canadian Pacific.
The pertinent question then is asked, Would
1t not be an extremely profitable plan for the
Union Pacific to build the Pacific Short Line
and then turn its present road over to the Gov
eminent? The answer is always in the atfirma-
tive Other possible hackers of the line are
either the Great Northern or Canadian Pacific,
either of which would profit immensely by such
feeder.
THE UNION PACIFIC.
OMAHA, June 1sth.-It is officially announced
that the headquarters of the superintendent of
Motive Power of the Union Pacific will be re-
moved from this city to Cheyenne on July 1st,
and that of the General Manager of the Mis-
souri-river division of the road to Kansas City
oil the same dale.
PROGRESS OF CANADIAN PACIFIC.
AUGUSTA (Me.) June 1sth.-The Canadian Pa
cific Railroad will be in full possession of the
New Brunswick system after July lst; they have
also leased the Grand Southern Road from st.
Stephen to st. John from Russell Sage, who
purchased 1t two years ago.

Two Men Drowned OFF New Years Point,
Santa Cruz.

SANTA
SANTA CRUZ, June 1Sth.-Dr F. E Morgan
and G. ]. Rumsey, of this city, while returning
from q trip up the coast this afternoon, about
three miles south of New Years Point discov-
cred man in a boat, evidently in distress
They hastened to the beach and succeeded in
saving him. He gave his name as John Smith
and his residence as San Francisco. Himself,
with three others. Tom Ryan. Jack Sullivan
and John Nelson, left San Francisco Tuesday
night in the sloOp City of Athens on fishing
excursion. About 10 O'Clock this morning they
anchored off New Years Point, and Sullivan,
Ryan and Smith attempted to go ashore.
This is one of the most dangerous points on
the coast. The sea was very rough, high
wind was blowing, and the boat capsized
Sullivan and Ryan were drowned. but Smith
managed TO cling to the boat He struggled
in the rough sea for four hours, drifting down
the coast about three miles, but managed to
keep the boat off the rocks until he was res
cued. Five minutes later it is believed that
he would have been submerged and lost.
Both Morgan and kumsey were thoroughly
drenched in the rescue, and one person alone
would have been unable to save the man.
Dry clothing and blankets were procured from
farmhouse in the vicinity. The stage from
Pescadero passing soon, he was placed on
board and taken to that place.

owning land along the proposed line are, and
have been for some time, clamoring for the con-

it is the intention of the officials to have this

FATAL ACCIDENT.
An Entire Train Plupges Down a Mount
ain Side.

NASHVILLE (N. c., June lSth.-A terrible SC
cident occurred on the Western North Carolina
Railroad on the southern side of Saluda mount
ain last night. From Apex, on the Saluda
mountain, TO Melrose, about three miles, there
is fall of fully coo feet. Owing 10 this tre-
mendous grade an engine is kept constantly
there to help trains up and down the mountain.
On account of the heavy rains the track was
very slippery last night, and when a twelve car
coal train started down the mountain it soon
got beyond control of the engines with all
brakes set. The speed quickened until tre-
mendous rate was reached, when suddenly the
rails spread and the entire outfit plunged head
long down the mountain side. Engineers
Smyrna and Tunstall and fireman Taylor were
killed. The Others of the crew escaped with
broken bones and serious contusions.
