VICTORIOUS HALLADAYS.
The Siefke Delegates Kicked, but
We're Completely Routed.

The meeting of the Second District Re.
publican Association. which was held
last evening at No. AGA Bergen
avenue, was the livelies5 ever
held by the Association, and several
times during the session 1t looked as
though the members would at
tempt 20 teach one another how
to deliver upper cuts, Fiizsimmons
right handlers and Corbett leads. The
Chairman of the meeting, President
Thomas d. Mills, had all he could do TO
present the members from decorating
each others faces.
The trouble began when Mr.. Mills an
noupced that the date and place of meet
ing for the Freeholders' Convention
would have to be decided upon. The mem
be rs from the Lafayette end of the district
at once moved that the convention be
held in Lafayette. Then there was war.
The delegates from the precincts north OF
Montgomery street objected and said d
number of disagreeable things about Lac
Lafayette delegates.
Among the five candidates for the Free
holder nomination is John Halliday OF
Lafepette, and the delegates from his
section wanted the convention held in the
Lafayette House so that they could do
more effective work to secure the nomi-
nation for him.
The members north of Montgomery
street are booming John Siefke. of Ber-
gen SQUARE, and for the same reason they
wanted the convention held near his
residence.
After the motion to bold the conven-
tion in LAFAYETTE was made and seconded.
Chairman Mills opened the meeting for
debate The scene that followed would
have been credit to the Kansas Lagisla-
ture. Pandemonium reigned supreme.
and the uproar continued for over guar
ter of an hour. Chairman Mills, after
several attempts. finally succeeded in
restoring order, and the motion was
put to the House. It WAS Carried by a
vote of II to 10. The date was fixed at
MaIeh rs.
The Sisfke delegates threaten 10 get
square, and there will no doubt be very
lively tune at thu Convention.

income as he is to the property? And
that is, and always has been, subject TO
taxation under the Constitution, which
requires that alliproperty should be taxed
equally.
1t is true that precedents can be found
for both of these measures.
The General Government resorted to
an income tax when the life of the nation
was in peril, and it was perfectly just
ifiable, when even citizens lives were
sacrificed in profusion to save the nation
we gloried in; but when the danger was
passed the income tax was abolished.
Our State cannot assert any such peril,
but precedent is n precedent, even if the
conditions are exactly the reverse.
| cannot perceive any good reason why
direct tax on all property should not
be levied for all the money needed for
State purposes. Are the salaries of State
officers and Judges included in the in
comes to be levied on?
suppose there is a precedent for tax
on inheritance. OF course that makes it
right, but 1 can't see the justice very
plain. OLD CRANK,

Completely Uprooted.

How many remedies there are which
merely relieve without upooting disease.
The contrast with sterling medicines
which such palliatives afford, not only
enhances the dignity of the former but
serves to emphasize the folly of employ
ing halfway measures when thorough
ones are available. A marked instance
of this is the effect, on the one hand, OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters in cases OF
chills and fever and bilious remittent, and
on the other OF ordinary remedies in NAL
adies of this type. By the Bitters ma
larial complaints IN every stage and oi
the malignant type, are completely con-
quered and lose their. hold upon the sys-
tenn. They are rarely, if ever, dislodged
by the ordinary resources of medicine,
although their symptoms may unques-
tionably be mitigated through such
means. The same holds good of lndiges-
ton, biliousness, kidney complaint
rheumatism, nervousness and debility.
By the Bitters they are cured when many
remedies fail.

Q.-What did these show, as you con-
sidered?
A.-Why, 1 find that, forl3l miles, the
rates are lower in California than they
are in Kansas. but for the 29l miles. the
rates are lower in Kansas than they are
in California, as there are five competing
railroad lines running near Larned.
the distance is 2s2 miles, and the rate is
81 10 per ton by the carload; from Atchi-
son to Larned, the distance is 29l miles,
and the rate is S3 25 per carload. Now,
in taking the Kansas schedule for the POI
miles, find that, in California, the rate
is one-fourth of one per cent. per ton
more in California than it is in Kansas.
Now, coal in Kansas is from 81 to 81 70
per ton, while in San Francisco it is So SO

Q.-HaS this present commission ever
reduced rates in California?
At. has, in fact, made more reduc-
tons than any commission for a numb
of Years on both freight and passenger
rates.
Q.-Mr. Leeds stated before the COM
mittee that neither one of you gentlemen
were qualified to make out freight rate.
What do you think of that?
A.-When Mr.. Leeds stated that he
knew he was lying, as Mr.. Rea made out
the rate over the Porterville road when it
was reduced, Mr.. Litchfeld made out
the rate on ice, myself made out the rate
on livestock, and l did not ask any assist
ance from anyone. So far as making
rates is concerned q man of any fair ca
pacity can make out a rate, especially
when it is rate of reduction.
Q.-HoW much did you reduce ice?
Ave reduced ice from $50 a ton to
Fresno, for instance, to s. per ton.
Q.-What was your reduction on cattle
on the Placerville road?
A.-Thirty-six per cent.
Q.-What was your reduction on the
Porterville road?
Alt was put down about 81 so per
ton on wheat; in fact, we made the Por-
terville rate just the same as on the main
line, excepting passengers. We left the
passenger rate at 4 cents per mile. as
there is very little passenger travel on
that road.
At this point the Commissioner was
called away, and the interview necessar-
ily closed.

An Invalid Who Did Not Take kindly
TO Restraint.
Alvin Potter, an elderly man who has
been an invalid for long time, and ap-
parently somewhat affected mentally, on
Saturday became restive under restraint,
and his relatives found it necessary to use
some force with him. He became unduly
excited and discharged a pistol at his
brother-in-law, E. p. Figg, but fortunate
ly doing no harm.
An employe OF Mr.. Figg grappled with
the invalid, who got hold of a small knife
and cut him slightly on the thigh before
he could be secured. 1t was found neces-
sary to remove Mr.. Potter to the police
station temporarily.

.-Wbat do these show j?

A.-Why, on all of those roads the first
class passenger rate is three cents per
mile, when all through the State of Cali
fornia, in the valleys, the rate is less than
three cents per mile, except on branch
roads. [ would refer any man that doubts
this to the official railway guides OF the
United States.
O.-Did Mr.. Leeds ever furnish any
schedules on grain rates?
A.-Yes, he did, and took the road from
Atchison TO Larned. 29l miles. and COM
pared them with branch roads, princi-
pally, in California, such as Oroville,
Fruito, Placerville, Raymond and wal
mt Creek. and he also took 252 stations
in California, mostly on branch lines, and
compared them with only thirty-three
stations on the main line by looking over
his schedules.
