EDS. RECORD UNION: 1t seems to a
stranger in this city that Sacramento
people nave been very lavish in their un-
favorable comments on their City Coun-
cilmen. It remains to be seen if they
will now congratulate them as heartily
when they do show that they are not
wholly lacking in ''sand."
So long as a city of this size is willing
to be governed in this wo-for-a-nickeP
sort of way. limiting the governing
power to three men, certainly it is reason
for congratulation that two of the three
agree on the right thing.
Whatever these Trustees have failed to
do, they should be commended for the
stand taken on the new ordinance. AL
though very high license has proven
itself good i'll many places, this rise is a
step in the right direction. Let them be
encouraged to continue in weIl-doing.
This is sign of better things to come
not that the city may be enriched by the
revenue, but that by the closing of saloons
the burden will become unnecessary. Let
this be note OF warning to saloon man.
Let him not say at the end of the year,
when, from the good result of the present
rise, the license Will be trebled, that he is
driven out OF his legitimate business and
cannot ive-more's the pity it is legiti-
mate! That's all that can be said in it's
favor. Let him plan now to seek buSi-
ness he can follow with clear conscience;
one that does not furnish in it's own out
come the very burden of which he COM
plains. Every day we hear the cause of
crime laid at the door of the liquor shop.
Still you license one for every seventeen
of your voters.
We hear that the liquor men will pro-
test when they are asked to pay Just
share of the expense their business causes
the city. Who, but they, should pay it
all. Citizens, rally to the support of your
trustees. SOJoURNER.

Social Problems,

EDS. RECORD UNION: Apropos of a
sermon on social problems recently pub
ished in the RECORD UNION, the follow
ing story told by the historian Froude is
a good one:
In Auckland, New Zealand a poor
clergyman's wife with sick husband
was tempted by some handsome punches
of hothouse grapes in a shop window. On
inquiring the price, and being told they
were three and siXpence pound, she
laid them down with a sigh, when the
shopman pityingly said to her: "Tisn't
the likes of you that can afford them
grapes; we keeps them for the working
mems ladies'"
Eight hours to work and eight to play,
Eight TO sleep, and eight shillings day"
at that time described the state of the
wOrkingman in Auckland, and the rights
of the clergy were III need of platform.

The News OF the Railroads.

The affairs of the West Virginia
Central and the Western Maryland
Railroads continue TO attract public
attention. The latest report is that
the former will make an offer for the
after road, and will make PROPOSE
ton to pay per cent on 1000, 900 or
about half the indebtedness of the
Western Maryland if it is leased to
them. The Western Maryland people
are vigorously opposing the lease or
sale to the West Virginia Central, and
will make the strongest sort of fight
against it. The Washington county
| commissioners have also issued an
the Western Maryland, in which that
county has an interest Of nearly half
a million dollars. The West Virginia
Central will probably have to build
an independent line to Washington,
and as the Mary land people do not
seem to want it, we again extend to it
our cordial invitation TO come on this
side of the river, where a direct and
| cheap route'can be obtained.

The fight has been of long duration

young Fry and his colleague Fidinger.
and the small coIored boy King. had
escaped from the Charlestown Jail on
Monday night. Fry and Fidinger

perhaps thought he would like to
be President, struck out for Wash
