HALF RATES.

The Arizona (Pbenix) Gazette is not
quite satisfied with the treatment Worlds
Fair shippers from that Territory are re-
ceivng. They have been proffered half
rates, payable in advance. The Gazette
says: mot one-fourth Of AriZona's exhibit
will return, so it turns out that the one-half
rate is full rate after all. Again, no dis
count will be made on the classifi alton Of
freight. About all Arizona's contribution
to Chicago will consist OF fruits. packed
and Ia glass. and of valuable minerals need
ing careful handling. These will occupy
the first place in Classification and be
charged the steepest rates." The Arizona
journal compares the policy the Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe companies pursue in
regard 10 that Territory with the policy of
the northern railways. The Gazette con-
tjnues:
In the Northwest the railroads, with an appre-
ciative eye to The future, have agreed TO forward
TO Chicago, free Of cost, nearly the whole exhibit
Of Washington. Oregon. Montana aud Wyoming.
And the great iron and coal display OF Idaho
Will be transported free by the Union Pacific-a
road never considered especially generous.
Some parts OF California have secured quarter
rate.
1t seems impossible to prevent railroad
companies from charging all the traffic will
bear when they can. Ii there is but one
road it charges about what it pleases; il
there are two they combine as to rates, but
each tries to get all the business 1t can.
The people have some advantage from a
competing line even when it combines.
But no one knows yet what it costs to move
freight or carry passengers. BY cost, we
mean fair rates of interest on the capital in
vested, operating expenses on the basis of
other Industries and reasonable provision
to keep the road in good order. That pas
sengers might be carried from San Fran
cisco TO New York for $50 is reasonably
certain. But we shall never have really
cheap railroad service until the State owns
its own roadbeds.

across country. Well, he had been thrown
in an adjacent field. The villagers were
assisting him to rise; one held his horse.
The group caught the engine-driver's eye;
he simply stopped the train out of sheer
curiosity Further, will 1t be believed that
most Of the people got out and ran to join
the gaping group And we actually

lector was among us. Besides his uniform
he wore hunting pouch and had brought

then coolly told the astonished travellers
that, although bound to inspect tickets for
another fifty miles, he should get out at the
next station, have a little shooting on the
Sierra Moreno Mountains, and catch the re-
turn train about midday! The train

monetization scheme for silver which will
give largely increased volume OF cur
rency under conditions which will guarantee
safety. This does not mean the free COIN
age of silver ard its restoration to equality
with gold, but it means larger use for
silver money, which may be expected to
improve its market value. What is wanted
is confidence that silver will not be gen.
orally demonetized. 1t is this possibility
which has kept the price of silver down
even with light surplus in the market.
The movement in Austria to resume specie
payments on gold basis, and the reports
from India that similar policy may be pur-
sued in that dependency. have had bad
effect upon the market price of silver. Ii
the monetary conference gives some assur-
ance that the use of silver will be extended
rather than curtailed. pending its possible
restoration. there will be no fear OF 'he
further depreciation of silver.

THE noLp-ovER SENATOR'S.

The decision of the Supreme Court. de-
caring that Senators from the even
numbered districts hold their seats for two
4 +ears longer, adds materially to the Repub-
lean chances of controlling the next Leg
isIature. OF the twenty hOld-oveTs, sixteen
are Republicans. There VIII be but 100
members Of the Legislature TO elect and TO
carry the Legislature the Democrats must
elect ffty-seven members, while the Re-
ubicans will win with forty-fve. Still,
nth this advantage there is an apprehen-
ssun on the part Of Republicans that the
Democrats will carry the Legislature. This
apprehension arises entirely from the fact
that the Republican machine is apparently
set in the Interests of II. II. de Young. II

imposed upon the Republican candidates
IN Sacramento and in Los Angeles. In Ala
media an uprising Of the decent Republicans
at the primary elections raised that county
to position from which il NAV elect Re-
publican Senator and Assemblyman free
from enlargement with the De Young and
railroad faction. In San Joaquin County
the Stockton Record says the Republicans
can only succeed by proclaimiDg openly
that they are against De Young. At the
present time it would be difficult to point to
n Assembly district which is safe for the
republicans. except those who have turned
"a Young down.
This is a serious condition of affairs for
publieans. There is a certainty of one

Legislature and a fair prospect of two. II
a Democratic Legislature is elected Re-
publican State will be represented in the

for Republicans Of character and influence
to relieve their party Of the incubus that is

FINANCIAL DISTRESS.

All over the Union California is pointed
to as State which permits the managers of
The Central and Southern Pacific Railroad
companies TO plumber them by means of
corrupt conventions. THE CALL says that
everywhere we are believed TO be in an
abject condition. and people really wonder
if we are as intelligent as we claim to be.
II Is not surprising that our citizens should
year after year permit themselves to be
absolutely robbed. for taking money from
US as it has been done amounts to about the
same thing as it would If we were met on
the streets and told to hold up our hands
while our pockets were being emptied.
The morning call., 1892-10-05
A PLUNDERING TICKET.

Can there be single doubt as to the
character of most of the candidates whose
names are upon the Kelly. Crimmlns and
De Young ticket, which the independent
citizens OF San Francisco are solicited to
vote into Office at the approaching election?
What is De Young after but Office. in the
expectation OF making money from its cccu-
pancy? Does TIE CALL do this person
any Injustice when it expresses the opinion
The morning call., 1892-10-05

that he is totally unfit to hold an exalted
Office? THE CALL believes that many Re-
publican candidates for the Legislature Will
be defeated unless they wash their hands
of De Young and the railroad company.
Our citizens have not nominated the legis-
lative ticket which it is hoped to force down
their threats The ticket is one nominated
by the use of money, under the expectation
that its members will be used to plumber the
nphlie if elected.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING.

any other paper THE CALL circulation

A few minutes after midnight a
table was spread and after the good
things were placed upon it, it looked
as it there was enough to feed a regi-
ment Of Uncle Sans soldiers. Every
one was invited to come forward, and
after all had had their fill, the table
was still loaded with good things,
with several baskets left unopened.
Dancing was again resumed and
kept up until almost four o'clock
when the programme having been
carried out the ladies decided to close
the festivities. All returned to their
humble roofs convinced that the
ladies we're indeed liberal and only
sorry that leap year comes but once
in four years.
Among those present not belonging
to our valley, we noticed several per-
sons from Elko, South Fork, Star
Valley, Fort Halleck, and other places.
Too much credit can not be given
to the ladies whose every effort was
to mako the party a success.

Leap Year Party at LamoilIe.

EDITOR INBEPENDENT:-Our Leap

may now be placed upon the records
OF the past. 1t proved n SUCCESS
owing to the untiring efforts OF the
ladies' who decided that it should be
asuccess. The evening OF the 18th
was very cold but all had assem- led
at an early hoHr, with the firm belief
that they we're there to enjoy them
selves which they undou btedly did.
Aessrs. Rodgers and Womack fur
nlshed excellent music to which the
dancers tripped merrily, their every
action plainly speaking that they
we're having a splendid time. The
foor director, Mrs. A. Wines, superin-
tended the floor rs il she were an ,ex-
pert, and go quickly did the floor
managers, Mrs. 9. w. Griswold, Mrs.
j. B. Gheen, Miss May Robertson and
Hiss Lottie Pixley arrange the
dancers that one dance followed an
other 30 rapidly that they had hardly
time to breathe. The managers made
II their special duty to see that every
one should daHce and IL any we're
sighted it was their own fault.
