At the meeting of the Iroquois Club last
evening Alexander LaIdlaw presided.
The committee appointed at the last
meeting to wait upon Secretary of the
Navy Herbert and call his attention to in
fractions of civil service regulations at the
Mare Island Navy-yard TO the detriment
of good Democrats, and ask his aid, also,
in establishing a ship-building plant on
this coast, reported that they had visited
the Secretary at the Palace Hotel and had
been received very courteously and been
given respectful hearing. Mr.. Herbert
had assured the members Of the commit
tee that he was giving the question of a
ship-building plant a very exhaustive
study, and would promise that this coast
should receive the attention its natural ad-
vantages demanded.
In regard to the question of employ
ment Mr.. Herbert said that he was heart
lily In favor of the principles which the
IrOquois Club bad laid down. He re-
minded the committee that he was bound
by the civil service rules, but he declared
that if the club would supply him with
specific cases OF abuse of any rules he
would give such charges full and patient
hearing with view to their correction.
The report was accepted and the COM
mittee discharged with thanks for It's ser
vice.
The following resolution, introduced by
t. G. Spelling, was submitted:
WHEREAS, The railroads of the United
Sta es are capitalized at S11,OO0,0oO.0OO, ana
could he reproduced, including rolling stock
and terminals for S4.0o0000, 900 or less, and
whereas the holders OF this inttat d capitaiiZa-
ton annually withdraw S11,0O0,00O from the
volume of the currency and spend most OF 1t IN
foreign countries, thus causing contraction ana
contributing to financial disasters; therefore
be it
Resolued That we favor the adoption or such
measures by Congress as Will secure 10 the
Government the possession and control OF The
Union Pacific and the Central Pacific railroads
and their operation as an experiment IN Gov
eminent ownership
Mr.. Spelling spoke at some length upon
the resolution, showing why the Govern
ment should own the railroads mentioned
and going into details to prove why a
change in the methods of managing rail-
roads in this country would be to the ad-
vantage of the general public.
w. w. Stone opposed the adoption Of
the resolution because he believed that
abuses would exist just as we'll in Govern
mental control of the railroads as in phi
yate ownership.
&. w. Moore. P. Welin, E. P. TROY.
Samuel Mckee and others spoke upon the
subject, the majority being In favor of the
Government securing the railroads.
The resolution was finally adopted
unanimously.

Lord Nelson. He had heard of Mexico
and the United States, and asked many
questions about the size of our cities, the
steam railways, etc. But Nelson was OF

to tell which storekeepers were honest
and moderate in their prices.
He proved TO be a good guide through
the fruit country, and never failed to
take two drinks 10 the white mans one

ordinary quart flask is not large enough
for Mosco; he needs a five-gallon demi-
