MONDAY, APRIL IS, 1892.
A MYSTERIOUS QUESTION.

The Democrat SAYS ''BrO. Shinn ad.
mits in his article that in the campaign
last fall when he could scarcely find words
black enough to defame the character of
MIR. Cox that he lied abou; him then. Can
the public believe Shnn now:''
1t is much more agreeable 10 the vanity
of journalist who has been mistaken to
remain silent after discovering his mistake
than to admit the same and try TO amend
the wrong done any who may have been
injured thereby. Last year we knew that
a wrong had been perpetrated upon the
tax payers Of Ford county, and "a large
amount of money lost TO them through
carelessness, neglect OF criminal connivance
by some of our county officers. The posi-
ton of George B. Cox as county treasurer
and president OF the Merchants State Bank
i'm which were deposited the county funds.
very naturally led us to believe that upon
him rested the principal responsibility for
the loss of the public money. We opened
the political campaign against Otto Muel.
Ter on that issue. All the statements we
made during that campaign were true and
the opposition could not successfully con-
tradict them. A superficial view of these
circumstances seemed to throw the blame
upon Mr.. Cox, while Otto Mueller posed
as faithful servant who blindly FOLLOWED
his masters lead and did what he was told.
1t now transpires that these appearances
were deceptive. We thought Mr..
Mueller was an honest man and frankly
admitted this belief. However, in the re-
cent efforts which we were obliged to make
to fill our contract with the county we came
in closer contact than ever before with these
two men. Each stood revealed to us in his
true colcrs. Geo. b. Cox proved upright
and faithful, while Otto Mueller showed
himself capable Of acts no truly honest man
could do. Mr.. Mueller is Il mysterious
man. He has no intimate confidential
friends or family ties. He has no consci-
entions scr,ples to prevent erising figures
or mutilating records. All through the
years while Ford county was being robbed
he was with Mr.. Cox. The latter gentle
man reposed absolute trust in him and re-
lied implicitly on his integrity. He did all
the complicated work in the treasurer's Of
flee year after year and had at all times as
free access to the bank as Mr.. Cox himself.
What if this mysterious, resourceful, un-
scrupulous man was The power behind the
throne? He now has the interest that was
thought to belong to MIR. Cox in the Times
printing establishment. We do not feel
justified in accusing him of also having
somewhere in hiding Il large portion of Mr..
CoX's private fortune, utterly unsupported
by that gentleman, but We never could TN :
derstand what Mr.. Cox did with all his
wealth and it may be that MIR. Mueller
could solve the problem.

sided one, but though the people saw their
young Industries destroyed aud their trade
scattered. they never for a moment fl nched
in their fight against the common enemy.
Stockton is a city that has never taken
kindly TO bOoms. 1t Is city of steady, solid
growth--a city of thriving industries. built
up under the strongest antagoniSms of tho
monopoly, aud giving steady employment
to an army of close upon GOO mechanics.
There are five banks and two building and
loan associations in town, and all of the
manufactures carried on within its bounda-
ries are owned and controlled by local capt.
| tai. Here are manufactured agricultural
| implements and machinery. which have
| worldwide regulations; combin ed-harvest-
| ers, which are the wonder of the civilized
globe; street-cars, which are found in every
large city west OF the Rocky Mountains,
and boilers, traetlon-engines. etc., which
build up the reputation of the factories
wherever sent.
But it is not in machinery alone that the
town excels. Its -four is known In the
four quarters of the globe and ie priced for
lis excellence. The capacity OF its mills is
5000 barrels day. Then it has a large
woolen-mill. five windmill-factories, two
box-factories, FIVE planing-mills. three
fOundries. three lumber-mills. five broom
factories, a wheel factory, a eannery.

| newspapers, three OF which are daiies.
| Last year the value of the new improve
| ments exceeded ST. 00, 600. This year the
| prospects are that they will equal s., 0O0, coo
in value. The county contains 100000
| acres of arabic land which has never yet
known a failure. 1t has an equabe eli
| mate. which is of immense value to the
! agriculturist and horticulturist and will be
| increased a hundredfold as soon as the sew
erai systems of irrigation now in progress

Stockton now possesses well paved and
| well lighted streets, a good system Of
sewerage and quite a number of handsome
public buildings. The most imposing of
these structures Is the splendid granite
courthouse which has just been completed
at a cost of 100000. She can also boast of
the architectural beauty of her churches.
theaters and private residences which are
the equal of those in any other city on the
coast Since the discovery of natural gas
deposits within her boundaries many
new enterprises have sprung into life and
with the development of this great natural
resource there is hardly any limit to the
possibilities of growth and prosperity for
the once belittled Slough City.

Wonderful Resources Of the City
of Stockton.

Corporate Tyranny.
Correspondence of THE MORNING CALL.

STOCKTON, March 26.-Probably the most
prosperous and go-ahead city in California
to-day IS Stockton, the county seat of San
Joaquin County. 1t has history almost as
old as that of the metropolis of the Pacific
Coast, aud has survived the unprecedented
opposition of the railroad monopoly which
for a generation vainly strove to crush it
because of its determined opposition to rail-
road policy. Indeed no city on the coast
has prouder record for gallant efforts ON
behalf of freedom and right than Stockton
has, and no other city has made such sacri-
fees for principle as it has and survived.
In the early days of American occupation
it was the distributing point for the miners
of Calaveras, Tuolumne and Mariposa, and
later for the farmers of the fertile plains of
the San Joaquin. In its heyday Of youth
and prosperity. however. the giant octopus
of Fourth aud Townsend streets spread out
its greedy tentacles and sought to coerce
the thriving settlement into paying tribute
to its power. Its business men bravely re-
fused to be coerced. and then ensued fight
