mand ON the lines you suggest. In
this country no class, no matter how
powerful it may be, can alone and un-
aided do much in the way of reform.
This is serious fight you have picked
up, and you need the help of ali your
neighbors. Wall street sits entrenched
behind it's thousands of millions, pro-
tected by the legislation and practices
of the government for an hundred
years. When the deadly assault is
made upon these entertainments, ma NY
of you will fall before you reach the
abattis, and more will fall in the ditch
and on the works. You will need
every soldier you can get, and must
not stop to enquire as to his previous
calling. All you will need to do will
be to have the surgeon see that his
heart is in the right place.
And there must be no spasmodic
sorties, no destruction of our forces in
detail, no bad generalship. Above
all there must be no schisms or divis-
ion in the ranks. The campaign
must be laid on proper lines, and
must involve the destruction of the
enemy and the relief of all the people
not the farmers alone, but all the
people. We can agree, nay we are
already agreed on the principle
Throw details behind us until we
whip the fight. We can afford to eX-
pertinent with details after victory,
but not now. And above all, let as
stand by the old flag of Democracy,
for it typifies the best thought, the
best hopes, and the most sacred tradi-
tions ofthe people for liberty in this
country. With that flag planted up
on the capitol of our country, we can
make this government what it was
designed to be by the fathers, "a gov
ernment of the people, by the people,
and for the people;' doing what
Jackson said it ought to do, "confine
itself to equal protection, and as
Heaven does when it rains, shower it
favors alike on the high and the low,
the rich and the poor, and thereby
proving itself to be an unqualified
bless ing"

CORRUPTION IN CALIFORNIA.
Startling Discoveries Made by the
Grand jury,

GNaA0
SAN Francisco, Dec. 23.-1ne grand
Jury impaneled several months ago made q
final report to-day and was discharged.
The jury has been engaged in investigating
the scandals that affect members Of the last
legislature, and returned indictments
against a number OF legislators. The SUI
preme cours decided against the legality of
the jury on the ground that the
lower court exceeded its Jurisdiction In
appointing an elisor to select the jurors. In
It's report the Jury refers 60 the investiga-
tons affecting the Legislators. In substance
the jury states that it hes discovered that a
great deal of corruption existed; had not
the supreme court decided II was
an illegal body. the jury states.
IL would have initiated such
measures as would have resulted 10
permanent abatement Of this evil and would
have returned 50 many indictments that
the people Of the state would have been ep-
palled.
MUNICIPAL CORRUPTION.
Regarding the local municipal gov
eminent, the jury's testimony
showed that the assessments levied upon the
corporation by one political manager
amounted to 100000 annually and
that a large number of employees
of the municipality had been
assessed certain percentage Of their salar-
hes. The report Ia closing reviews the con-
duct OF the various departments, and es-
pecially commends the educational de-
partment.
Judge Wallace In accepting the report
review ed the proceedings leading up to the
appointment Of the elisor, stating that the
coroner and sheriff were judicially and
openly challenged and announced
to be incompetent and dlsquali-
fed, and that their offices were
to have been investigated. He criticized
the supreme court for overlooking this
point, further holding that prior decisions
of the supreme court In the Raymond case,
finding that the grand jury was de facto
jury, and the late decision In the Drummer
case, where ii was held that the jury had
not legal existence, were utterly incon-
sistent. In closing Judge Wallace said:
''Some one has Numbered; justice has been
defeated and The investigation of great
abuses has been stopped"

FREIGHT TRAINS COLLIDE.
The Engines Nearly Plow Their Way
Through Each Other.

Through Each Other
QUIrMAE, GA, Dec. 49, Last night
about O'Clock two freight trains were
wrecked on the Savannah, Florida and
Western road, one mile and half west Of
Quitman. No. 80. a through freight east
bound, and No. II, local freight west
bound. collided with most disastrous results.
The trains, the conductors say, were rum
ming about forty aud thirty miles an hour
respectively. Both engines were completely
wrecked, blowing their way nearly
through each other. A number
Of cars were literally torn to pieces
and their contents scattered in
every direction. Conductor Cielland and
Engineer Shaw had charge Of No. II and
Conductor Harrison and Engineer Tenant
Of No. 80. Conductor Clelland claims that
be had orders TO pass No. 80 at Dixie and
Conductor Harrison that he was to pass
No. II at Quitman. The operator at Dixie
claims to have tyIed to wave down No SO
at that place and hold ID for No. II to pass.
For a wonder no one was killed in the
wreck.
j. 8. Sloan's supervisor ofIthis division of
the road was on No. II engine. He and
Engineer Shaw were both considerably
bruised and shaken up In jumping. A side
track has been thrown around the wreck
and trains are running as usual. Ii will
take several days to clear away the debris.
