A New Gateway ON the Canadian Border
Named in HIS Honor.
F,rRHAyEN, WASH, Feb. 15.-The
last spike in the track which unites
Washington and British Columbia, was
driven Yesterday morning in the pres
ence OF about 5000 persons from both
sides of the line. The Fairhaven and
Southern road forms the American line,
and the New Westminster Southern the
British. Trains arrived at the boundary
line. on which are Blaine, Washington,
and Blaine, British Columbia, at IL 80,
each accompanied by band. Governor
Lauchton, of Washington, Governor
Nelson. of British Columbia, President
Hendry, OF the New Westminster South
ern. and President G.. n. Larrabee,
OF the Fairhaven and Southern,
drove the spikes, and then Mrs.
Nelson and Mrs. Laughton, with small
silver hammers, drove them home.
Governor Laughton expressed the wish
that no blow might ever be struck be-
tween the two countries, except in
friendship, and three hearty cheers
went up from the crowd, which then re-
haired to the Blaine opera house, where
4 number of addresses were delivered.
The following telegram was read from
James G. Blaine, secretary of state, to
the MAYOR and citizens of Blaine, named
IN his honor: cit is with most kindly
feeling that my thoughts turn towards
YOU and your British brothers today.
while you assemble to perform the SOL
emn ceremonies OF connecting your won
derful countries in commercial union !;
and it is my most earnest wish and hope
that the bonds formed today by you may
not be only OF commercial union, but Of
that grander and nobler brotherly
love that will unite you In the end, as
two nations in one perfect union and
with your port of entry, which your
congressman inform me will be estab-
Kshed, you will be placed in a position
to open grand gateway ct two mighty
nations. May success attend your un-
dertaking and goodwill and peace be
with you all.
The Fairhaven and Southern and New
Westminster Southern roads are to form
the connecting link between the Cana
dian Pacific and the new transcontin-
entail line OF the Great Northern road
under construction. 1t is the first ine
across the boundary west of North Da-
kota. 1t was bought by the Great
Northern last March.

WE HAVE received brochure on BIZ
metallism by Mr.. H. ID. Barrows, our
fellow-townsman. A cursory glance at
its pages reveals treatment of the
cause OF the disparity between gold and
silver that is striking and novel, This
essay was written in response to prize
offer made by M. Cernuschi, the great
French political economist, and received
very 1attering acknowledgment. of the
value OF its treatment OF the bi-metallic
question from that gentleman. We
shall withhold review of its arguments
until we have given it thorough read
ing, merely making the preliminary
statement that Mr.. Barrows' views upon
the subject he treats in the pamphlet
have always been received with consid-
Grafton and Difference by the leading
authorities on the subject.

Col. CHALMERS ScoTT writes us that
he is not engaged in the effort to give
Babcock $500, 600 for five hundred acres
Of land on the north peninsula. He
says: "You are in error when you say
that my services have also been en-
gagged in pushing it, although, for this
occasion, am like Barkis, but as yet am
not accepted" Col. Scott adds that
the only interest he has in the matter is
as citizen of San Diego, and he is thus
anxious to see a military post estab-
lished there, being Indifferent as to
whether it goes to Coronado, Pacific
Beach, Point Iona or the ex-Mission.

AND still that noble old California
pioneer, George Hearst, refuses to die.
1t is now long time since the devoted
California legislature made up its mind
that it would not adjourn until it had
had second scrap with senatorial
sack. That most patriotic of public
bodies thought it saw that it had duty
in the premises, which it would be most
unwise to turn over to Governor Mark
ham. Since it first began to sit on SEN
ator Hearst, the newly elected senator,
Leland Stanford, was thrown out of his
carriage and nearly killed in the city of
New York, Rear-Admiral David Porter
and General William Tecumseh Sher-
man have passed in their checks. and
still the Democratic senator from Cali
fornia, God bless him, holds his own.
And long may he continue to battle the
patriots Of the Sacramento variety! 1t
is perhaps unkind that Mr.. Hearst
should desire to prolong his enjoyment
of the prodigious wealth that he has ac-
cumulated in his later days, and abso-
lutely on the honest plan, but most
Californians will hope that his solid
Missouri constitution will pull him
through for decade at least to come.

The finest train which ever entered
Los Angeles arrived here yesterday
morning. 1t was a vestibule train or
ganized by the Pennsylvania Railway
company. The appointments we're su-
perb in every respect. A novel feature
of twas the presence of an accomplished
chaperon, who had charge Of the comfort
of the lady excursionists. The tourists
are of an exceptionally distinguished
character. The train went on to San
Francisco, while the travellers remained
here. In addition to this arrival, the
Boston grocers reached here yesterday.
To cap the climax, a train of twenty
three cars left Ell Paso yesterday for Los
Angeles, and they will be here tomor-
row night, to add to the great force OF
fasteners already on the ground.

KANSAS CRY, Feb. 15.-The Times
tomorrow will say: President Nettle-
ton, of the Kansas City, Fort Scott and
Memphis railroad, has determined to
carry out the plans which have been
under consideration for some time
past, contemplating the conso Ida
ton of the Memphis line with
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road.
The plan also contemplates the pur-
chase by the consolidated roads of the
Missouri and Kansas; to be built through
Kansas City from Topeka, Kansas, to
Bonneville, Missouri, the present north
ern terminus OF the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas. This would
give the latter entrance into, and
terminal facilities in Kansas City, and
would, at the same time, by means OF a
traffic arrangement with the Burlington,
from Boonville east, make the shortest
road to Chicago.
Another of President NettletOn s plans,
which the Times says is to be carried
out independently, is providing an indie
pendent line for Memphis from Birming-
ham, Ala, to the seaboard. The first
step OF the latter plan was taken two
days ago, when President Sparta OF the
Georgia, Florida and Southern, and the
Macon and Birmingham, bought the
Covington and Macon road.
The next step will be the consolida-
ton OF the Georgia. Florida and South
ern and the Seaboard and Roanoke
systems. This accomplished, the
two consolidated southern lines
will be added to the Memphis.
This will give the Memphis independent
terminal facilities at Birmingham, and
two seaboard terminals-Savannah and
New Orleans. Then should the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas deal be carried
through, says the Times, the combined
systems would make the strongest OF all
the southwestern and southern roads.

MONDAY. FEBRUAFv 10. 1891.

Ar 8 O'Clock Yesterday morning gen
tie rain began to fall, which continued at
intervals during the day. As we write,
the indications are for most copious
precipitation, and with the certainty
that every drop of the rainfall will be
placed where it will do the most good.
The grain looks better than at any time
in the history of Los Angeles, and the
indications are that by far the largest
crops ever gathered here will be gar
nered this year. They will certainly be
more than twice in volume of those Of

From this time on we may expect o
see a great number of deaths in Cali
fornia. General Sherman was really a
California pioneer, and we have reached
an era when that peculiar and in many
respects interesting element will begin
to disappear very rapidly. In all the
modern and American senses, California
is quite young. 1t is sometimes hard to
realize that our boasted Argonaut days
only 60 back TO lS49. Sutter and his.
mill and the Pactolean streams that
flowed therefrom are really only thing
Of the other day. There are in the
Golden State today an immense number
of people who arrived here in 1S49,
1850 and the Immediately succeeding
years. They arrived here all in bunch,
SO to speak, and the presumption is
violent that they were men who ranged
from the estate of manhood, twenty-one
years, and upwards. 1t is perhaps not
straining the point to assume that, of
both sexes, there are couple OF hun
dred Thousand souls in California who
belong to this class. AS an inev-
table incident the mortality must
be great, and as these people do not
belong to the Grand Army OF the Re-
public, and are not in quest of pensions,
their number will naturally and neces-
sarily decrease. California today has q
worldwide reputation as sanitarium,
but twill be seriously menaced by the
percentage of deaths which will be re-
corded from this large army of people
who were in the flower of their early
manhood when they came here forty
two years ago. W hen we think OF the

OUR FINANCIAL SYSTE M--"BFST
IN THE WORLD "--FOR
FAILURES.

The following table shows the c)rrect
number of failures since 1864. 1t shows
how contraction has done its deadly
work. In 1865 the number was 1875: in
1890 it was 1886. The returns for
1891 will show not less than 170O0
failures.
We wish we could give the exact
number of firms in business in 1864 and
at the present time. But this being
next to impossible, we will give the
number and increase according to popu.
lation. In 1864 the population Of the
United States was about 81, 600. O0O In
1890 it was 63, 600, 900. Our population
has increased a fraction over 70 per
cent. The number of failures, as shown
by the table below, has increased three
thousand and nearly bundred per
cent. We repeat it, increase in popu-
lation serenity per cent; increase in
business failures three Thousand end
one hundred per cent" Now read he
figures and think whether or not we
need a change. Every business man
in the country should be in hearty ac-
cord with the reforms proposed by the
Alliance.

THE AMERICAN TOBACCO COM.
PANY.

One of the greatest monopolies in this
country is the American Tobacco Com
pany. 1t is composed of a number Of
large manufacturing concerns and
seeks to dictate prices both in buying
and selling. It is strange that the laws
of the States will not reach this con,
Germ. Perhaps no one has tried to
punish them.
1t has been currently reported that
the Blackwell Company, at Durham,
had become a part Of this concern; but
it appears that Mr.. J. S. Carr, Presi-
dent of the Blackwell Company, posi-
lively refused to join in the game Of
robbery. We don't know how many
factories in North Carolina have fallen
victims, but they should be spotted
and ignored by tobacco raisers.
We would like to have any informa,
ton that manufacturers or others can
give about it for "private use in our
business"

THE

One of the most remarkable contests
for the Speakership of the lower House
of Congress terminated in the election
of Mr.. Crisp, of Georgia, to the po-
sition. 1t is said that the contest was
excited and partook of some bitterness,
Notwithstanding the contestants were
all prominent Democrats. It was
charged openly that Mr.. Mills was the
favorite of Mr.. Cleveland, Wall street
and the whiskey ring, while Mr.. Crisp
was championed by Mr., David B. Hill,
Tammany Hall and the railroads. If
true, we fail to e why Alllancemen
should have concerned themselves
about the matter. Mr.. ThOs. e. Watson,
a Democrat, but elected on the Alliance
demands with eight others-twO from
Nebraska, five from Kansas and one
from Minnesota, wouldnOt gOintOaca
Gus of either of the old parties. Mr.. Wat
son was nominated and voted for by
the other eight. By the way, Mr..
Crisp has all the while opposed the
Alliance and it's demands, yet Alliance
men worked for him and voted for
him.
