Why the Dog Is There,

An express wagon passed by. On the end
of the seat where the driver was there was
painted the picture of a dog guarding a
safe. One man on the corner asked his
friend why dogs picture was nearly al
ways on or near the picture of a safe. Then
he told him. \ long time ago the safe was
nothing more than an iron box 1t had
none of the scientific attachments which
one sees in banks and business houses to-
day. The key of the great box was gener-
ally as heavy as the box. That is, in pro
portion. Ii was sometimes used as a
weapon. As the iron boxes had no secu-
rity but the ordinary locks bankers took
to leaving dogs tied to the boxes at night
Then 1t was found necessary to have the
dogs trained. This the bankers cid not al
ways have time TO do, even if they had
known how. The result was that the
manufacturers took to dog farming. These
dogs were trained in the business of guard
ing the iron boxes, and at one time it was
the custom for the manufacturer to fur
nish dog with each safe And the two be-
came inseparable. This is why you see the
picture of a dog so often wherever you see
the picture of a safe. And that is also why
you see dog 50 often perched on the seat
with the driver of an express wagon which
delivers money packages. Chicago Trib-

Come i.earCs there he which toss and

Like pcplars in the breeze,
Content to ever changing be:
All, fckle hearts are these!
No strong security doth hold
Them safely T.! their place,
For eY'ry tiny breeze doth shake
Them to their very base.
Affection is. with them, as naughL
And loves not known at all.
And only passing pleasures brief
Can hold them III its thrail.
Thro' summers heat and winters cold
They toss in every breeze,
And never know of peace and rest;
All, tickle hearts are thesel
Some hearts there be which never turn
From love and lov'd ones dear,
Though strong winds blow with fury oft,
They show no doubt or fear;
They clasp affection TO their breast
And mind not storm or breeze,
Content to love and be BELOVED
All, hearts of oak are these.

rolc work has been done or such splen-
dld achievment worked out as has been
just placed TO the credit of the anti-lottery
crusaders of Louisiana. They have
driven the hideous gaming monster to
Withdraw its bribe of two millions Of dol
lars; it has beaten down a political fac
uon that ruled the State and dispensed
the coin OF the lottery like water in the
stream; it has defeated for Governor
man taken from the highest judicial sta
ton in the State, nominated by the DOM
lnant political party, backed by lottery
power. and whose campaign pathway
was fairly paved with gold. 1t has elected
man as Governor distinctly anti-lottery,
and who made his fight upon that ground
mainly. 1t has elected a Legislature
which is anti-lottery by good majority,
and which is exposed now only to the
risk of being corrupted in weak quarters
by lottery bribers.
In short, the Louisiana campaign has
demonstrated that public opinion can be
depended upon to come around all right
in the long run. 1t make take much
time to effect it in some cases, but en-
Ightenment, intelligence, the moral sense,
can IN the end be depended upon.

HE SHOULD SPECIFY RATES.

The Traffic Association of San Fran
cisco has been constant in ringing the
changes upon the complaint that local
freight rates are not just. To every re-
quest and demand made upon Manager
Leeds to specify wherein injustice lies, he
has refused to reply, except to say that he
will not specify.
Why the Traffic Association or its man
ager declines to present a rate that it
would consider just has not been stated,
and every appeal has been met by stub
born refusal. There have been thrown out
some unsubstantial suggestions about
horizontal leveling, and uniform mile
rate, which it, as well as every sensible
man knows, is triaing and not legitimate
specification upon the basis of which any
correction could be made of any possible
inequity.
Now lMr. Leeds must have reason for
refusing to present rate schedule. Men
do not act in such matters of importance
without motive, much less do they de-
cline to act without reason for such de-
NAL. Let Mr.. Leeds enter his specifca-
ton of complaint against any existing
rate, that there may be something tangible
with which to grapple. Let him, when
he SO specifies, name a rate that he holds
ought to be substituted. That will give
people something definite to consider,
some fact upon which to base judgment.
Nothing is easier than to exclaim that
the freight rates are too high; the mean
est intelligence is equal to that; but to
point to the Railroad Commission wherein
there is injustice in existing rates, re-
quires some knowledge of traffic ques-
tons and economics. Mr.. Leeds is sup
posed to be possessed Of this knowledge;
he ought, therefore, to be able to name
the rate in each case that ought to be
adopted. He is put to it now before the
people to do this, or to stand impeached
for incapacity.

MUST STAND TOGETHER
What the Traffic Association Does In
tend TO Do.

tSan Jose Mercury, April 27th.1
The Oakland Enquirer says: Stockton,
Sacramento and other interior papers are
fighting the Traffic Association of San
Francisco on the theory that it's plans. if
carried out, would benefit San Francisco,
but lnJure the interior. Those papers
ought TO be able to see that the ultimate
end of the san Francisco agitation will be
the building of another transcontinental
railroad and exciting a competition which
Will Deneht the interior and San Francisco
both together.' There has not only been
nothing done, butnot even any suggestion
made by the Traffic Association, it's
agents or its advocates, that gives the
slightest reason for believing that it's ulti-
mate end will be the building OF another
transcontinental railroad. The Traffic
Association has done no more than ask
Tor revision of freight rates on existing
roads, in the interests of san Francisco,
ana 1t has not even accompanied these
requests with any definite statement Of
What the association complains OF. In the
absence of any clear and explicit state
ment OF what IL intends to do, and in the
presence OF the continued evasion OF all
requests for sworn complaints, the in
terror points are naturally on their guard
against the association. If its ultimate
OBJECT IS the construction Of competing
line II should say so in plain terms, and
1t Will then have the cooperation of the
interior cities that will be benefited by
such line; but while it makes clear be-
yond all doubt what its object is, and by
what means it hopes to achieve it, the in
terror cities must stand together in the
protection Of their terminal privileges.
They have no ill-will to San Francisco
nor to the association, but at the same
time they do not intend to lose without
struggle those privileges which enabled
them 10 grow from small towns to -four
lshing cities, and which are as necessary
to their future growth as they were to the
mast

THE Republican State Convention to
meet in Stockton tomorrow should in
struct its delegation to the National Con-
vention to cast the vote of California for
the nomination Of General Harrison, for
six reasons: That the vote Of the State
delegation may not be carried in any
mans pocket and be made the subject of
barter or the means of furthering the per-
sonal ambition of anyone in California.
That the announcement Of the instruction
may aid the candidacy of General Harri-
son in the East. That the State may have
important prominence in the National
Convention by being known quantity.
Because President Harrison has done
credit to the party as its standard bearer.
Because he has given the country wise,
patriotic, unsensational, conservative,
economic and dignifed administration.
Because nearly all of the States
that have held conventions have so in
structed their delegates, thus rejecting
the best political wisdom Of the party at
the East

THE entire police power of the State
and every county in it ought to be put in
motion to capture the perpetrator of the
highway robbery near San Andreas Sat-
urday morning. The robber lay in am
bush and as the stage came up sprang
from behind rock and with gun at full
cock cried ''halt," and Immediately fired.
He killed young lady passenger in the
coach, mortally wounded the driver of
the coach, and severely wounded the ex-
press messenger. The assassin got
nothing for his crime, but instantly fled.
1t was the most bloody and audacious
attempt at highway robbery that has gone
10 the discredit of California for many
years. 1t ought TO be impossible for the
murderer to escape. Such search should
be made for him that he will be run
down, no matter whence he has fled.

THE TRIuMPH IN LOUISIANA.

The Louisiana election made demon
stration of most important truth-that
small minority, a comparatively insig-
nificant group, actuated by right purpose
and untiring zeal, and laboring for a
high and beneficent cause, can become a
controlling majority.
In Louisiana when the anti-lottery
campaign began it was forwarded by a
mere handful of men and women with
out money, press or political captaincy.
Arrayed against them was the power OF
millions Of money controlled by the most
constituencies gambling corporation
known TO the history of the world; the in
satiable craze of a vast number of the
ignorant and superstitious for gaming:
the cunning Of unscrupulous policy-deal-
ers; host of weakened and limber-
backed people who declared that it was
useless TO resist the tide, and that there
fore it was best to accept such crumbs of
gratuity for the State Treasury as the
lottery princes chose to drop from their
groaning money tables.
Yet against all these elements and a
number of minor ones; against money,
greed, cunning and weakness, the little
anti-lottery group has contended with
such persistency. sincerity and courage,
that the cloud at first no larger than a
mans hand has grown and spread and
overshadowed the lottery power and
poured upon it storm of destruction.
It is not of record that since the days of
