STILL IN POLITICS.

The convention which meets in Sacra-
mentO to-day viii fnd the Southern Pa
citic Company stiff in politics An effort will
be made 10 prevent the committee on reso-
luti0ns from reporting a platform that the
company regards as in any way objectona-
Die. The railroad oTgan OF this city says In
its Sacramento correspondence that the San
Francisco delegates, which means Crimmns
and Kelly, did not look with favor upon the
adoption Of railroad resolutions, preferTiDg
10 leave that duty 10 the convention called
t. nominate members Of the Legislature
This IS rather shallow politics The en-
yenuons which nominate members Of tie
Legislature will be county conventions.
They cannot speak for the State. II the
political agents Of the Southern Pacific
Company can induce the State convention
10 leave the railroad question out OF is
piatf rm, it Niu have 40 trouble with the
legislative conventions. The hand Of tie
Southern Pacific is seen most distinctly in
the Second Congressional District. The
Chronicle says that the railroad candidate,
Grove L. johnson, VIII have a walkOver.
Perhaps he will. If be should, his canvass
viii furnish good illustration Of Southern
Pacific Company methods On Monday
John T. Davis had twO-thirds Of the dele
gates pledged to support him. It was
known. however, that the Southern Pacific
Company was making great efforts to win
over enough delegates to nominate John
son. The vote VIII be a test Of t strength
Of the company 1t will also show how
many delegates can be induced to disregard
their pledges by such arguments as the
agents Of the Southern Pacific Company en-
pioy. Up to the present time it has not
been deemed expedient by the Independent
Republicans 20 nominate candidates for
Congress. Il is of great importance that
California send as many Republicans as
possible TO the next Congress, and nothing
but the most fragrant interference in Repub-
lican conventions on the part OF the South
ern Pacilc Company VIII cause a change Of
purpose IN this respect. The Southern Pa
cl1c Company evidently relies upon the
devotion Of Independent Republicans to
their party principles to keep Them 10 line
In support Of Southern Pacific candidates.
From all this It appears that the Southern
Pacific Company is stil in politics.

FORCING THE FIGHT.

Our news from Sacramento brings intelli-
grnce that the central and Southern Pacific
Railroad forces are gathered at Sacra-
mentO in hopes Of so far controlling
Republican delegates as to secure a mem
Der Of Congress who will favor that
monopoly in its efforts to defraud the
Government out of its dues. OF course
the managers Of the railroad care nothing
Tor the Repub cln party, only so far as it
can be used to put money in their pockets
riRhtfully or wroGgfully It may be well.
however to inform honest delegates at Sac
ramento that the people are heartily tired of
being betrayed by the agents OF the railroad
company, and that 1t will not answer now
to nominate the kind of men who have been
sent 10 Washington by the railroad company
for some time past. The people are not
likely to vote for men to represent Stanford
and Huntington in the House OF Representa-
tVes uader present aspects. We give below
what our Sacramento correspondent says in
respect To matters in that city:
SACRAMENTO, July 24.-Not even a rumble OF
the hghi for the electors has been heard as yet
bur Tie hand Of the Southern Pacific is already
seen.
Everything is cenIered in the struggle for The
nomination for Congress 10 the Second District
dhd u Grove johnson succeeds I'm knocking out
John r Davis OF CalaVeTas Il Will be a clear vic
tory for the powers al Fourth and Townsend
streets; that is the whole sltuatioc Davis has
the contest well in and. and viii pull through II
nothing unlocked for now occurs; but De Young
Frank Stone. HeazetOn, w. II. Mills and other
representatives Of the great corporation Will be
here tomorrow o set the pace and IL may be
hot.
Every argument is being advanced to show
that Davis Is not the man for the place. but 1t is
true nevertheless that he Is the man who Is free
from all entanglements with the railroad power
while johnson Is and mas been close TO The great
corporation for years
The pres N fight dates from the Stockton con
ventiOn, when Davis had the hardihood to second
The nomination If FELTON, for delegat -ai-latre
while johnson talked for Nike Grove and Nike
had never been friends, but they managed TO get
together for selfish reasons. and now the contract
must be carried out som way or another
However, the combination is not working out
as was expected, and the fact that niDe out OF
every ten Republicans whom one meets IN Sacra-
mentO ale whetting a knife for johnson In case
be should be selected Is not calculated to give
tie boy pleasant sensations.
The story that Mills and Huntington are Sc
cIetiF Tor CamiDeiu seems plausible at least.
looks o-nighl Davis has from 60 to 10 OF
the ioI votes Ia the district, and unless they
succeed in pulling his strength away from him

Some years ago, through the instcumep-
tality Of Commodore Richard W. Mead
L. 5. NJ, now Commissioner to the Colunl-
biah Worlds Fair, treaty was made with
the Samoan people, whereby the privilege
was secured by the United States Govern
ment Of having coaling station FOR naval
vessels in that distant island Of the Southera

THE oANADIAN PACIFIC RAILROAD.

The public have looked patiently upon
the treaty stIpulatiOns AMI treasury orders
which enable the Canadian Pacific Railroad
Company TO transport goods from one
American town 10 another, for the reason
that the foreign road afforded measure Of
competition against tie Southern PacIh
But it was soon discovered that the Cana
dian Pacific was as ready as any American
company 10 accept a bonus to forego COM
petition. II would compete If the Trans
continental Association refused to make it
more profitable not to compete and would
stand in with the association as soon as its
demands were compiled with. This NAV be
business. but the Canadian Pacific might
have remembered that it was not grounded
on business principle. 1t was enabled to q 0
American business by treasury rulings,
which may at any time be rescinded. Ger
tain privileges have been granted il on the
assumption that its usefulness as a competi-
tor would afford some compensation for
such privileges. Oar navigation laws pro-
hibit foreign vessel from carrying goods
between American ports. These laws
also prohibit foreign vessels from entering
foreign port with American goods on
board and afteTward entering such goods
al an American port without payment Of
Is permitted to carry goods through foreign
territory in bond and enter them at any
American town or city without payment of
duties. While enjoying this privilege at
the pleasure of the American Government
the Canadian Government has disregarded
a treaty stipulation that American and
Canadian vessels should be on the same
footing with regard to tolls I'm the Welland
and other Canadian canals. ltappears that
the same rate Of tpll is charged vessels of
both nationalities, but If a vessel is going TO
Montreal a rebate of Is cents a ton is al
lowed. 1t thus appears that the two con-
sideratons which have induced our Gov
ernment to make the Canadian Pacific and
other Canadian railroads an exception from
general laws prohibiting foreign transporta-
ton companies from engaging in the
American cOastwise trade have been dis
regarded by the Canadian Government.
The natural result of the policy of retsIia-
ton Congress has authorized will be the
withdrawal by the American Government
of the bonding privilege now enjoyed by the
Canadian Pacific Railroad Company.

 It is asserted that Pope Plus Tx. was a Free Mason, and that while papal nuncio in America, as Count Mastsi Ferretti, he was initiated in one of the Philadelphia lodges, and proved an active and praise worthy brother of the order. But, in point of fact, no such name is to be found on the record of the Philadelphia lodges. At any rate, on September %, 1865, Pope

It is dated August, 1889, Palermo, and testifes that Brother Giovanni Ferret ii Mastai of the Papal States was duly initiated in the lodge Eterna Catena, of Palermo, with all the ceremonies, and Is to be considered a true and genuine Mason.
 A naval officer who has made frequent visits to Jamaica, where the mongoose is employed to exterminate snakes, rises up in opposition to the plan of intro ducing the little animal to the United States for the same purpose. He says: The mongoose came to. Jamaica with an amiable character. In India he was 8 respectable member of society, but in Ja- maica he is a nuisance. He is so destruc- tive in the barnyard that it is in the coun- try almost impossible to keep poultry of any kind. He has increased to such an extent that he has destroyed all the liz ards, tosds, and small snakes, harmless in themselves, but having an important part to play in the economy of nature. The consequence is that the grassy portions of the island are becoming almost uninhabitable on account of the plague of ticks-small, black fellows, whose bite is more irritating than that of any insect I ever experienced, and which commonly ends in an ugly fostering sore. Pasture lands are, on account of these little pests, becoming, in some places, useless. Tine cattle cannot stand the ticks, which once formed the food of the toads, etc., which have gone to fill the voracious maw of the mongoose. Birds that nestled on the ground have been in some cases utterly destroyed, their eggs and themselves going for food for this pesky little animal, and in other cases they have changed their habits com pletely. The mongoose climbs trees and eats the birds, their young and their eggs. It is in fact working change in the entire fauna of the island.
