ANOTHER COMPLAINT.
Mrs. Barbara Nails Statement Abou
the Poor House.

Mrs. Barbara Malls Statement About
the Poor House.
1t would seem that it was about time
that the management of the county
farm was looked into little. The tax
payers of the county have their good
money paid out to conduct the aims
house, and something seems to be
wrong.
A representative of the HERALD, yes.
terday, heard pitiful story from Mrs.
Barbara Mall. OF her experience at the
county farm, covering period of over
two years. She is an old German lady,
81 years of age, who was born in Wur-
temberg, Germany. Mrs. Mall has q
crippled hand, and her 67 years have
borne heavily upon her. She is de-
crepit, and broken down in health.
She yesterday made statement of
her experience at the county aims
house, which can certainly create moth
ing but sympathy for her. She claims
that despite her years, she has been
compelled to wash clothes at the insti-
tuition. She says that she never was
properly clothed, and that she has been
forced to perform all manner OF menial
service and do the work of attendants at
the poor farm who are paid by the
county to render certain service.
She says that she was compelled for a
long time to wash clothes with her feet
covered only by slippers; that her feet
got wet; che took cold and sickness fol-
lowed ), that she was not given medicine
while ill, and that it was brought to her
from the outside.
Mrs. Mall said that she was perfectly
willing to work when che was able, and
do anything that che could; that bur-
dens were put on to her to the extent
that from sheer physical inability she
was forced to give out; that she was
compelled to care for and nurse the
babies of paid county attendants at the
farm; that she was compelled to iron
clothes of attendants when her crippled
arm caused her great pain. Certainly,
for a poor old woman of 81 years these
tasks are numerous and scarcely of the
right character.
The old lady also makes a serious
charge against one of the members of
the board of supervisors, which should
be investigated.
She makes the statement, also, that
Frank Davis, son of Supervisor A.. E.
Davis, is steward at the county farm.
Over the farm the supervisors have ex-
elusive charge. This is a fragrant case
of nepotism.
DR.. Burdick receives 5000 per month
to superintend the poor farm. Com
plants are Gaping in, and, strange to
say, they all come from old people, over
go years of age. Poor Mrs. Mall is now
at the county hospital.

MRS MARTINS FUNERAL.
The funeral services of the late Mrs.
G. s. Martin, whose sudden death on
Wilson's peak was such shock to her
many friends and relatives in this city,
were held this afternoon at 3 O'Clock, at
the residence of her mother, Mrs. E. @.
Bradley. on East Colorado street. The
services were conducted by Rev. DIR. E.
Conger, who spoke in high terms OF her
past life. and of the lovable and noble
character she has always borne. The
house was beautifully decorated by the
hands of loving friends. The interment
was made in the Mountain View ceme-
terry, and large number OF sorrowing
friends followed the remains to their
last resting place, comforted only by low
ing remembrances and the hope of meet
ing in that land where death and sor-
row are no more.
GREEN GOODS MAN.

5000 shall be invested. This is the
ssme old threadbare scheme for Fleeing

possible for him to secure victims. But
the tools are not all dead yet.

The morning call., 1892-06-16
Why THIS HAsrEq

Two Of our contemporaries have recently
been seized with a resistless desire TO save
the peoples money. As these two papers
have in time past been inclined in the op-
posite direction, the public is naturally curl
Gus as to the cause Of the change. The
plan by which large saving is to be made
in expenditures is to adopt a new charter.
The necessity is represented as very urgent.
The plan wont keep later than November.
There is very little hope for the city unless
the proposed new charter is ready TO be
voted on at the next general election. No
one will say that the right kind of charter
would not be a good thing for the city. 1t
is quite certain that the wrong kind Of a
charter would be a very bad thing for the
city. The consolidation act. under which we
are now doing fairly well, has been inter-
preted at all points by the Supreme Court
and there is fair general understanding as
TO what the court thinks it means. A new
charter would necessarily go through the
same process. Point after point would
come mp for judicial determination, and
there is no certainty that these determine
tions would be in accord with the interest OF
The trainers OF the charter. This Is not
offered as an argument against new char
ter, but rather against haste ard consequent
earelessness 10 the framing of one. A little
more than four months intervene between
this date and the general election. Ia this
time the public mind will be occupied with
national politics. Only the exceptional
man would read charter if one should be

ABOUT RAILROADS.

A New York journal from which better
things were expected tells why the House
proposition TO reduce the allowance made
70 railroad companies for carrying the mails
by 10 per cent should not receive favorable
action. That journal says:
Tie amount OF ignorance displayed by mem
bers OF Congress whenever any question comes
up affecting railroads is something marvellous.
On the part OF the Alliance members there
seems 10 be something more than ignorance.
They exhibit n deep-sealed hostility to railroads,
their management aud their stockholders, that
IS not easy TO account Tor.
Whatever hostility there may be to rail-
roads, or rather to railroad management, is
easily accounted for. 1t arises from a con-
viciiOn based upon known facts that trans
p0rtation companies as rule have not
dealt fairly with the people. One cause OF
complaint is the readiness Of transpOrta-
ton companies to ally themselves with cor
pOratons aiming TO monopolize other
branches of business. The Standard on
trust was enabled TO freeze out every other
company engag, d in the same industry by
the special rates il made with transpor-
tation companies. The Standard on trust
drove hundreds OF companies and firms out
OF business and in a few years piled up not
less than $500, 0Oo coo for its owners. An
other fault the people fad with spOrta-
tion companies is that in order to cover up
excessive profits they have doubled and
trebled their stock. Some roads now draw
dividends on stock that has not cost the
holders a dollar, while others have bonded
their properties in excess Of cost and
put the proceeds of the sale of their
bonds in their pockets. 1t is claimed
that interest must be paid on these
bonds without regard to the fact
that in mary cases they represent no cash
outlay. People who see railroad managers
amaSsing private fortunes running high In
the tens of millions by such methods as
these cannot be expected 10 sympathize very
deeply with their managers when Congress
proposes 10 reduce the pay for public
work. The railroad organ from which we
have quoted says that there has been
steady reduction in the cost Of transporta-
ton since the completion OF the roads
Without doubt there has. Railroad man
ayers would not attempt to take TO them
selves all tie benefit arising from improved
methods. The discovery Of the properties
Of steam is common property The trans
portation companies which make the prin-
cipal use Of il would hardly expect to get
The cid prices for doing work that does not
now cost one-tenth as much as il did twenty
FIVE or fifty years ago. And yet the asSer-
ton is gravely made that between some
point in California freight can be moved at
less cost by mules than b. steam. Our
railroad friend refers to the fact that IN
many cases landowners have profted
largely by the construction Of railroads.
Doubtless they have, but il has been when
railroad managers could not help it. One Of
their devices to moDopolize profits has been
to purchase large tracts of land in LOCALITIES
where they propose 10 build roads and thus
take the main profit Of rise in values.
