THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC AT
SACRAMENTO.

1t is good sign when aspirants for Office
deny that the Southern Pacific is behind
them. The denial does not count for
much. but it shows that the power CT the
company is waning. There is no known
means by which the relation of candidates
for Governor to the railroad may be deter
mined. The belief is very general that
Colonel Burns and Mr.. ". w. Stow have
q thorough understanding, but the c0ndi-
tiOns OF it are known only to themselves.
The danger to the Republican party lies in
this uncertainty. That party has never
been SO strong as it is this year. but it is a
question if it is strong enough to win il
handicapped By the Southern Pacific. In
respect to the Supreme Court the relation
Of the aspirants 10 the Southern Pacific
Company are more clear. The conviction
is positive that Justice de Haven is indie
pendent of every consideration but law
and justice. If the Southern Pacific ever
GENES before him it will be considered on
the merits of the case. Judge Henshaw is
marked by the Southern Pacific for slaugh-
ter. His decisions as Superior Judge
have not suited the company, and he has
not seemed 10 care much for their dis
pleasure. The company expects De Ha-
ven to be nominated and elected, but the
nomination and election of Judge Hen
shaw would be severe blow. Two full
term justices at one election would be
hard to bear. Mckinley Of Los Angeles
would be preferred to Renshaw, though he
is not their candidate. The fact that
Judge Van Fleet is a relative of the
Croker family fastens upon him the in
ference that he is the Southern Pacific
candidate. The attitude the San Fran
cisco bosses assume toward De Haven and
Henshaw will, in the minds Of many Re-
publicaus, determine the relations existing
between the bosses and the Southern Pa
ciic Company. Two seats on the Supreme
bench for ten years are considered of more
Importance than the Office of Governor.

is no disposition in or out of Congress
among people whose opinions are worth
considering to unnecessarily harass the
railroad syndicate or to treat them IN
justly. there is strong and general con-
viction that a Congressman who places
himself in such position that he may
fairly be suspected of having been cor
ruptly Influenced will then and there ter
miDate his political life. Therefore the
chances are that nothing will be done in
Congress. and that the final adjustment
will be left to the courts.
The issue is being obscured by the in
terIection of irrelevant matter into the
controversy. Senator Hoar draws the
country's attention to the services rendered
by the late Senator Stanford TO the cause
of education, and Senator VOORHEES, tes-
tilted to Senator StaDford's benevolence.
All this is wide of the question. The point
of the controversy is whether the builders
of the Central Eacifc owe the Govern ment
SCI. 100000 and. whether they can pay the
debt We havA nothing now to do with
their benevOlenge or their public spirit. 1t
would be wrong for Congress TO let the
railroad syndicate off their debt because
Stanford was liberal with his money and
founded a great institution of learning.
The question of the subsidy bonds must
be decided according to the rules of law
and by them only.

ZANTE CURRANTS.

The Fresno ErpOSitor compliments Sem
ator White for his gallant fight to put
Zante currants on the datiable list and
regrets that it was unsuccessful. Mr..
Whites lack of success is attributed to
the opposition of those Republican Sena-
tors whose arguments for or against a
tariff measure would have little influence
with Democratic majority. The same
Senators who are charged with defeating
Senator Whites efforts to get Zante cur
rants on the dutiable list urged the Senate
to restore raw wool TO the dutiable list.
but with no effect. In fact, as the Repub-
lican Senators are expected to vote agai q
the tariff bill when 1t comes from the Con-
ference Committee. the Democratic MAORI
ty does not care how they vote 90 matters of
detail. But Senator Whites vote is much
needed on the final vote. By adopting the
tactics that the Louisiana Senators found
so effective he could have induced the
Senate to put duty on Zante currants
and perhaps on wool. But he preferred
to vote with his party to making an especial
fight for the industries of the State he rep
resents. We are not finding fault with
Mr.. White ON account of his free trade
views, but it seems to US little ridiculous
for the ErpoSitOr to hold Republican
Senators responsible for result they could
not greatly influence, while praising Mr..
White for efforts that owing to his party
docility bore no fruit

ANCIENT LAW s.

A man named q. E. Moore. who edits a
newspaper at Lexington. KY, has been ar
rested under an old statute against bias
phemy. he seems to have printed some
thing in his paper which the obsolete sta
tute forbids. Tie accused is a prohibi-
zionist aud has excited the wrath of the
distilling interest, which is very strong at
Lexington. The punishment for bias
phemy fixed by the old statute is imprison-
ment. with exposure in the pillory. Do
any of the old jails in Kentucky contain
among their refuse furniture such an article
as a pillory?
The old blue laws of Connecticut and
Massachusetts have never been repealed,
but have been allowed to fall into innocu-
Gus desuetude. The law against kissing
Cd Sunday. which furnishes the last num-
Der of Life with a subject for carica-
ture, has not been enforced since early
colonial times. There is a law on the
statute book of Virginia forbidding Irish
men to set foot on the sacred soil of the
Old Dominion. 1t was passed In the old
days of the cavaliers, when no Catholic
church was allowed to hold services in Viz
ginia and when all lrishmen were sup
posed 10 be "kernes." 1t has never been
repealed. But when the immigration
from the north Of Ireland to the valley
of Virginia began the law was Ignored
and the ancestors of Andrew Jackson
were not molested.

is to be inserted on or at the ledge I have
spoken OF. either fiat disc of corkwood or
other material or insert in the neck COM
mon cork. so that the top of il will be flush
with or not much above the ledge or offset.
Then the enlarged bore of the neck above
the disc or cork is to be filled with wax.
cement, plaster of paris or any suitable
impervious material that will cover and
seal the disc or cork. If the liquid to be
bottled is to be champagne the outer
recess of the bottle neck will be
formed in the shape of a cone so that
the cementing material cannot be forced
out. The main body of the bottle Will be
of increased thickness just where the
neck joins. Above that point and below
the le1ge or Offset the section Of the neck is
reduced by means of shallow groove, SO
that light blow will break and sever the
neck at that point and leave the bottle in
a convenient form for decanting the con-
tents.
"a person who desires to insure to the
public the purity of the contents OF bot
tie has simply to place label on one OIL
these bottles calling attention to the pecu-
liar form of the neck and TO state that any
bottle bearing his label. but not having
the peculiar dou BILE neck, if l may call 1T
such, does not contain the product OF MS
vineyard. A sharp blow will take OH the
upper part of the neck and leave the bottle
just the same as an ordinary bottle. The
bottle NAV be used again, but it cannot be
palmed off as bottle filled by the original
owner, for the reason that the upper por-
ton of the neck cannot be replaced"
The morning call., 1894-06-18
HOW THE CONTROVERSY NOW
STANDS.

The law department of the General Gov
eminent has now settled upon a definite
plan of action in regard to the subsidy
bonds. The proceeding against the STAN
ford estate was mere preliminary move
intended to save the rights of the Govern
ment before any further distribution of
the Stanford property could take place; 1t
is not proposed TO push the case at present
in advance of the other cases which are to
be prosecuted on the same lines. The Gov
ernment is now in court with its claim and
nothing which can hereafter occur can in
crease the technical difficulties with which
il has TO contend.
The Governments position is that the
stockholders In the original companies sub
sidiZed were trustees of fund to be accu-
mulated out OF the earnings of the roads.
and to be expended in reimbursipg the
Government for the principal and interest
of the subsidy bonds; that instead of pIac-
ing these earnings in the trust for the
a bove purpose the stockholders appropri-
ated them TO their own uses, dividing them
between themselves; that, by so doing.
these stockholders made themselves liza bic
as trustees for the whole amount due to
the Government, and that the Government
can pursue these misapplied moneys to
wherever they have gone. This conten-
ton, if sound in law, and so declared TO be
by the courts. would bring the estates of
the original four builders within the reach
Of the Government. and 1t is believed that
they are large enough to pay the debt in
full, with interest.
On the other hand, the position of the
0f the lipQc re Ond ho
case of the lines east of that point stands
on different grounds-is that they are I'M
able 10 pay the debt, and that the pledge
which the Government holds is also insult
ficient to pay it. Mr.. Huntington con-
temDtuously refers to the property which
is mortgaged to the United States for
S62.0O0.0OO as two streaks OF rust and a
right Of way. He does not say in so many
words that his own estate and that of his
three original partners are not worth
So, 600; he processes TO believe that
those estates are not bound for the debt
which. after all. is question OF law. But
lie PROPOSES, as full settlement, that the
Government shall scale the interest on the
sum now due from 6 to 21s per cent, and
shall lend him S60000.000 more, which his
heirs will pay, if they can, In fifty or a
hundredy years. 1t will be observed that
his present promise to pay is no stronger
than the promise he made thirty years
ago.
1t is believed that this is fair state
ment OF the Issue now joined between the
parties and which the courts must decide.
We say the courts must decide, because.
though Congress has the power to pass
any new laws to alter the relative att
tude of the parties, it is not likely that il
will. Washington dispatches entertain
us with descriptions Of the complexion of
the committees in charge of Pacific Rail-
road affairs, but these are evidently mere
conjeetures. On SO grave matter, no
committeeman would be likely to disclose
his position in advance. And. while there

FOR PURE WINES.
An Invention Destined to Assure the
GenuineneSs of Bottled LIQUIDS.

Genuineness of Bottled Liquids.
f. Milton johnson Of this city has for
some time past been trying to discover
something that will insure to the pur-
chaser the purity of liquid contained in
glass, and he was moved to this by read
ing In newspaper that unscrupulous per-
sons were refillng bottles that had con-
tanned California wines with inferior
liquor and then selling the same for the
genuine article. This nefarious practice
has had tendency to give California
wines bad name. He has hit upon a de-
vice which he believes will insure TO
purchasers gen pineBess of a liquia placed
In bottle. His invention is the making

WHAT FREE TRADE MEANS.

The Philadelphia Record, a journal that
is not pleased by the logical outcome Of
free trade, thus portrays the future
The true cure for oversupply of gold or silver
or merchandise lies in a falling market. Is not
this also the only effective cure for an over
supply OF labor? No expedIent can per-
manenly hold up wages against redundancy
Of labor. But when the Huns Siavs, Poles
Italians and other cheap lab0rers shall find
that they get more kicks and cuffs than cash
they will OF themselves abstain from coming 10
the United States Our cheap lands are a fast.
falling inducement OF late years our factories
ana mines have been approaching the level or
wages which immigrants may earn in the
places Of their nativity.
The result. then, of free trade will be.
In the estimation OF an honest free trader,
a condition of things in America that will
send laborers back to the Old World. II
is this condition that the protective policy
has contended against. 1t was supposed
that it would come sometime, fifty or a
hundred years hence. but advocates Of the
protective system would put it off as long
as possible. Up to the Inauguration of a
free-trade President the American stand
ard had been maintained. LabOrers came
here from Europe because their chance
was better in this country. The remedy
was to restrict immigration. But instead
Of applying this remedy the free-trade
administration prepared to admit the
products Of cheaper labor free to compete
with the products of our dearer labor.
The Record says truly that cure for an
oversupply OF anything lies in falling
market But that is not the only cure.
The oversupply may sometimes be damned
at its source. The law OF demand and
supply is affected by conditions which
statute laws may create. If the American
Government had remained true to the
protective policy aud had exercised its
admitted power to restrict immigration.
our labor market would not have fallen to
the point at which labor emigrates to
better its condition.

AT TRINITY CHURCH.
Rev. George E. Walk Upon the Bless
ing of MercV.


ing of Mercy.
"Mercy, a Divine Attribute" was the
subject of sermon preached by Rev.
George Edwark Walk at Trinity Church.
The text was taken from st. Luke.
vi :36: "Be ye therefore merciful, as your
Father is also merciful." The preacher
said that since Trinitytde began, love and
humility had been set forth as Christian
duties to be preached: that day they had
come to another of the great virtues
mercy. No disposition of the soul needed
to be more generally exercised than mercy,
"fOr the simple reason that The man does
not live who at times is not himself the
object of mercy"
"In a world like ours, and with beings
such as we are, it is impossible but that
there should be errors OF judgment, errors
of practice and many conflicting interests.
Men will make miss'eps and fali men who
did not intend to fall Will fall; there is,
therefore. a constant call for the exercise
of mercy"
The preacher exhOrted that as the aboli-
ton of mercy would In nearly all cases do
away with hope. it behoOved all to pray
that they be enabled to extend that mercy
TO others which they hoped 10 have ex-
tended to them, God has bound up our
eternal interests and our relations to HIM
self with our treatment of our fpIlow-
men.
THE blessed promise of God is that
mercy shall be extended to the merciful.
This promise is like a radiant bow span
ming the whole heaven of our hope. 1t
assures us that after the storm shall have
blown by; after the TEN pest has spent its
fury, after the deluge of sin, sorrow and
death shall have subsidized the ark of our
hope shall rest high upon the mountains Of
God"
