Am Important Letter From yxr,
Tayior-A small Excursion.
Major E. W. Jones recently received a
letter from Thomas Taylor, of Cedar CITY,
relative to railway matters in Utah and
Nevada. He says that heavy SHOWS have
delayed the work somewhat, but he
quotes Mr.. Cameron as stating that it
was President Adams's wish that the
extension of the Utah Central should be
pushed as rapidly as possible, which is
said to mean thus far rate of mile a
day. Mr.. Cameron also told Mr.. Taylor
that Mr.. Adams had said the line would
come to Los Angeles.
Mr.. Taylor was one of the first to dis
cover the fact that there was some other
road at work endeavoring to get to Los
Angeles besides the Union Pacific, and
the information was made public by the
HERALD. Mr.. Taylor says that there are
two companies of surveyors at work in
Utah for this other line, and he thinks
they mean business. He suggests that
whatever subsidies are offered from Los
Angeles come in the shape of proposition
to the railroad which shall build into this

Major E. w. Jones, in his capacity of
President of the Chamber of Commerce,
receives not few letters OF general pub
lie interest. Several of these were in-
spected yesterday. A recent letter from
General Vandever announced that the
Representative proposed to do all in his
power to secure large appropriation for
San Pedro harbor, and asked for more
appropriations.
A short time ago Major Jones received
a notice from the postal authorities, an
nouncing that package from him was
held at Washington for insufficient post.
age, but that at the end Of two weeks
it would be sent TO the Dead
Letter Office, in accordance with
q postal regulation to that ef
feet. He promptly wrote to the
authorities suggesting that this regula-
ton had better be changed for the benefit
Of residents OF this State, as two weeks
WAS not long enough to make sure of cor
respondence making the circuit, espe-
cally in season when washouts were
likely to occur. r. w. Haynes. one OF
the assistant postmasters, replies, an
nouncing that the suggestion had been
adopted and the time heightened to four
weeks.
Major Jones recently had letter from
James E. Carnes, the librarian OF the
State of Pennsylvania. He says that
the State library, he fnds, contains very
little literature relating to California, and
he asks that some be sent. He wishes it
partly for himself. and he remarks that
he takes lively interest in this section,
for it is his intention to end his days
under it's sunny skies and also to place
in the library for the use and instruction
of the public. The Major responded by
sending q quantity of pamphlets and
books about the section.

COURT MATTERS.
Restrained From Signing
City Demands.
ARSON IN THE FIRST DEGREE.
baltimore Convicted After a Long
Trial-The Chandler and
Other Cases.

Among the new suits will be found one
brought by G. j. Richards, restraining
CITY Auditor Lopez from auditing certain
demands, and City Treasurer johnson
from paying the same until their legality
has been determined upon. These de-
mands were the subject of a message
from the Mayor on Monday, and caused
considerable discussion in the Council.
The Mayor stated in his message that he
had some time before drawn the attention
of the Council to the provisions of the
charter requiring that all amounts over
$500 should be paid only on contracts,
and that all under that figure required
the passage of ordinances authorizing
their payment. This being the case he
held that the demands referred to pre-
sented to him for his approval were not
legally contracted, there having been no
ordinances authorizing the expenditure
of the money. He therefore refu ed to
approve them and sent them back to the
Council, which, after warm debate, sp.
proved them over his veto and ordered
them paid.
The complaint filed yesterday states
that on the Goth of January the Council
approved and ordered these pretended
claims paid as though the same were
valid. On the 9th of January they
were presented to the Mayor for his ap-
proval, but he rejected them, and on the
Sd of February returned them to the
Council, which again ordered them paid.
The complaint was accompanied by an
order restraining the Auditor and Treas
urer from auditing or paying the de-

Pastor Matthews's subject at the

congregate. The discourse gave great
satisfaction.

A Frightened m an.

A telephone message was received al
the police station yesterday from some
man who declared that there was a mad
dog at No. 21S, South Hill Rstreet and
that policeman with gun was needed
to kill it. 1t appears that there are some
people who will never learn that by
drophobia is an unknown article in Cali
fornia. A email dog was found in the
neighborhood cutting up in peculia,
fashion, but the animal was very fal
from being mad. The neighbors said
that the man was badly frightened and
had sent bis little son out to drive the
dog away, while he himself hid in the
house.

GeOrgeisnl.

EDITORS HERALD-Mr. George says
that neither labor nor capital should be
taxed, but all needed revenues for all
purposes should be derived from land
values.
This system would place the most
burdensome taxation on one class of
labor ever devised by the brain of man
Land has but little practical value ex-
cept what may be developed by labor.
1t is true that in a state of nature land
produces a spontaneous growth upon
which wild animals fit for human food
subsist. But they are of no use until
prepared for such food by the labor of
the hunter.
in settled communities lands are only
valuable on account of being utilized by
labor for the production of crops or for
building purposes or, if not 30 utilized
at present, the practicability of their
being thus utilized in the future. In any
case, land can only be made valuable by
labor. Without labor it would he prac
tcally worthless. The labor required to
cultivate the soil and build houses Is the
main thing that adds to the original
nominal value of land. 1t is true that
are more valuable than similar lands and
houses far remote from the city, bnt
without labor they would be
equally valueless in either case
Land that can neither be cultivated nor
used for building purposes or for mining
must forever remain without value.
Hence labor is the foundation, the great
essential thing upon which rests the
value OF ell land.
Now when Mr.. George would levy all
taxes on land values he would simply
tax the labor that develops and utilizes
those lands; consequently the entire
taxes of the country would have to be
paid by the labor OF those who till the
soil or build houses.
On Sunday evening l asked Mr..
George whether the farmers under his
system would not have to add the
amount of their extra taxes to the price
of their farm products, thus increasing
the price of human food. He answered
that such would not be the result, How
ever, know ;that if, under the George
system Of taxation, the pric5 Of farm
products did not advance in proportion
to the increased taxation, that
the present occupants or owners
OF land could not cultivate
it more than one year, but would then
be sold out for taxes, and thus, at one
fell swoop, would be destroyed the foun.
dation of our society, the dearest and
most sacred spot on earth, the homo.
stead.
But for the sake of argument we will
give Mr.. George the benefit of his own
theories, and it naturally and logically
folloWa that he the great chamuiOn nj
labor, proposes a system that would free
Jay Gould, Vanderbilt, and ali such mer
from all taxation, and fasten the whole
burden upon the labor of those who till
the soil and build houses. Without labor
the land can pay nothing, consequently
the labor that makes the land available
or productive would pay all taxes. And
then what glorious time the non-tax.
payers, money sharks, dead beats and
loafers would have in inducing the Fed
eral, State and municipal authorities tc
make extravagant expenditures.

The Imps of the Congo Forest.


Stanley considers the relief Of Emin
Pasha far and away the most difficult of
all mis- African achievements.
"There was nothing in the expedition
through the Dark Continent to compare
with the frightful experience of the great
and gloomy Congo Forest" said Stanley.
"None of us will ever forget it to our dying
day. Day after day the dripping rain,
the saturated forest, sodden ground, and
half the time not even the dull leaden
sky above was visible through the damp
ceiling of the thick forest of trees over
our heads. Looking like veritable evil
spirits in the half-light were the ugly
dwarfs, with their tiny bows and poisoned
arrows, shooting at us from their lurking
places as we hacked and hewed our way.
CAT first we regarded these insigniti.
cant, pot-bellied and atrociously ugly
little wretches with good deal of con.
tempt. What could they do against
such people as we, with our breech-
leaders? Ah, but they soon taught us to
respect them, as man after man fell
victim to their poisoned arrows. They
came near getting my first officer, Lieu.
tenant Stairs; he carried the point OF
one OF their arrows in his breast for four
teen months before it came away. One
inch closer to the heart and it would
have killed him."
