4 at Pittsburg.

The speech of Thomas B. Reed at the
Americus club dinner at Pittsburg last
week was very inadequately reported
by the press news associations A pc
rusal OF its entire text convinces us
that 1t is deserving of moro general
publicity than it has yet received, Fol-
lowing are some notable excerpts:
America is too great, her resources all
too mighty, for even the worst legislation
and most incompetent rulers to destroy.
What the country needs is not repress-
i've, but developing craftsmanship, con-
servative, preserving tho rights of all, but
progressive, making all that is possible out
Of our great possibilities.
What impoverishes the mill owner i'm.
poverishes the mill worker. You cannot
divide nothing. The apple must be grown
even for the small boy to get the core, aud
nobody ever had cut Of fish until he was
caught.
Under the fierce light of our present con-
ditions we see things more clearly, and
begin to realize that the simple pro
gramme Of the Democracy to reduce prices
and wages together has come into collision

Washington, announced this afternoon
that the greatest march Of the nintsenth
century had been accomplished. The march
had been accomplished, a. Citizen Coxey
said, but its ending was In pltitul contrast

Ieamster Campbell Rfdicules the Story
About Railroad Competition.
SAN JOSE, Nov. &C. A. Campbell,
with his ten mule and two-horse team,
all the way from Fresno, loaded with dry
figs, raisins and pears from Seropian IL
Droge, arrived in this city at noon to-day,
and reported that the trip had thus far
been made without mishap. He was
asked that if the present trip was finan-
clal success, would team service be kept
up between Fresno and San Francisco?
Campbell answered: keep up? What
do you mean? This team is simply going 10
San Francisco to enter the big horse show
that is soon to be opened there. Seropian
& Droge simply allowed us to take this
load, paying us what they would have
paid the railroad for the same amount of
freight, in order to pay our expenses to
San Francisco"
Then there is no truth in the story
that this teaming is in opposition to the
Southern Pacific Railroad ?"
why, such an idea is simply ridicu-
lous," replied Campbell. If such a
service was intended, we would haul to
Stockton and ship from there by boat.
This team is the famous Worlds Fair
dozen that hauled the big log from the Sc
quolas to the train at Munson, where it
was loaded and shipped to Chicago. The
team Is perfectly trained for mountain
teamlng. We Will remain in San Fran
cisco until after the horse show, and then

Two Children Brought From Samoa by
Elders to be Semi Back

Two Children Brought From Samoa by
Elders to be SenG Back.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 22.-The steamer
Mariposa, which arrived to-day from the
South Seas, brought up seven Mormon
elders who have been proselyting in the
islands. They are en- route to Salt Lake.
Their missionary work has been done in
Samoa, the Friendly Islands and New
Zealand. They claim to have converted
over 400 natives in Samoa, and to have
5000 followers In New Zealand. Thev.
with twenty other elders, who remained
in the islands, have been carrying on their
work for three years past.
Travelling with the elders in the steer
age were a little girl and little boy. aged
. and IL years, respectively, who are still
detained on board the steamer. The local
Commissioner Of Immigration refuses to
allow the elders TO land them. The chill
dren, who are whites, are from the
Samoan Islands. The elders claim to
have been given custody of the children
by their parents. They say it was their
intention to educate the little ones at Salt
Lake. However this may be, the local
authorities threaten to send the children
back to Samoa.
