Senator Turpie'a Attack.

From the San Francisco Chronicle1
The attack OF Senator Turpie on the Nicaragua
canal bill is not likely to injure the measure,
which will in all probability, pass the senate
and house, and receive til. approval of the
president, There is a great deal OF loose ta TX
about the government not having the right to
loan its credit to an enterprise OF this kind
and it is echoed by ths very class that will be
most benefited by the opening of the water
way. There is nothing more calculated TO ex-
pand the commerce OF the United states than
easy and cheap communi cation by water with
all parts of the union. Those who place OBJ
stacles in the way of bringing about such a
result are not the jealous guardians OF the
treasury they profess TO be, they are the eager
fuglemen of the railroad combine, which
breads the possibility OF an active water COM
petition between the Pacific and Atlantic

Revival OF Railroad Project That Was

company was organized in san Francisco
two wears ago to construct railroad from
san Francisco to Los Angeles, and charter
was obtained for the purpose. The limit al
lowed by law. in which construction should
have commenced, having expired, it was n, c.
cessary to reiucorporat This has now been
done, and yesterday the San Francisco and
Los Angeles Railway company filed their ar
ticles OF incorporation objects; 10 build
and operate a ,tandard-guage railroad from
that city to Los Angeles, through the counties
OF Alameda, Contra Costa San Joaquin, STAN
slaus, Merccd. MADEIRA, Fresno, Tulare Kern
and Los Angeles; also, to issue stocks and
bonds, and to operate steamboats,, build
wharves and to receive gifts OF property
and subscriptions The estimated length of
the road is 500 miles. The directors are
Frederick Homer, William II. Martin, W. H.
c. Fowler A. Judson and W. ]. Behman. The
amount OF capital stock is 500, 30, 900, and of
that amount $500, 900 has been subscribed by
the directors. Each subsc,sbed 10000 ex-
cept Homer, who holds S450,000 worth of
stock as trustee. Treasurer Judson OF the
corporation has made an atiidavit to the effect
that the money has actually been paid into

About seven years ago the promoter of the
present incorporated railroad projected the
stockton and Fresno railroad and survey
was made betw, en- stockton and Nisalia, and
7 ghts OF way secured for greater portion OF
The route but the enterprise languished and
finally died Then came the incorporation of
the san Francisco and Los Angeles road. Two
English engineers came from London a little
more than year ago to inspect this line. and
wer1 taken over the route from Oakland to
Mojave oy team. Their report to the English
syndicate was very favorable to the construe-
tion OF the road and they were well pleased
with the opening for business they saw in
the projected enterprise. However, money
panic prevented the bull ding of the road by
the Englishmen at that time What assur-

The grass is green on Bunker Hill,
The waters sweet in Brandywine;
The sword sleeps in its scabbord still,
The farmer keeps his flocks and vine;
Then who would mar the sc4ne today
With vaunt OF battlefield or fray?
The brave corn lifts its regiments
Ten thousand sabreS in the sun;
The ricks replace the battle tents,
The bannered tassels toss aud run.
The neighing steed, the bugle's blast
These be but stories OF the past
The earth has healed her wounded breast,
The cGnnons pillow the earth no more;
The roes rest! Oh let them rest
In peace along the peaceful shorel
They fought for peace, for peace they fell;
They sleep in peace, and all is well.
The fields forget the battles fought
The trenches wave in golden grain;
Shall we neglect the lessons taught,
And tear the wounds ag pc again?
Sweet Mother Nature, nurse the land,
And heal her wounds with gentle hand.
Lo peace on earthl Lo flock and foldl
Lo r ch abundance. fat increase,
And val ey clad in sheen of gold
oh rise and sing song of peace!
For Theseus roams the land no more,
And Janus rests with rusted door.

It's not complimentary to the Intelligence
Of the electors OF San Francisco that one OF
the 10 freeholders, who were elected to frame
a new charter OF that city is found to be dis
qualified, and he man OF the prominence of
l. W. IIellman, president of the Nevada bank.
The fact of Mr. Helman's disqualification
could as easily have been ascertained before
as after election, and that it was not done
tends to increase the doubt in the minQs OF
many whether the people as a general thing
know enough to manage their own affairs
wisely or not, 1t also raises a doubt concern
ing the legality OF a charter thatlI frceho older,
may frame, and taken altogether it is u sorry

PAUL AND CHARLIE.

There is trouble in the royalist
camp. Chief Law Adviser Neu-
mann is up IN arms against that
pillar Of the former State and left
hand man of Mrs. Dominis, ex-
Marshal Wilson. There is an
issue of veracity between these
gentlemen, and outsiders are at a
! loss which to believe. It is such a
strange and confusing thing to
have to believe either of them, that
the judgment lies down quite
helpless. Yet, as every school boy
knows who has got into his
"Jevens," of logical contradict
cries. one must be true So that
we are forced by the very laws of
thought themselves to the conclu-
sion that for once either Mr.. Neu-
manno Mr.. Wilson ia speaking
the truth.
It is no wonder that Neumann
does not like the way in which
Wilson has drawn him into COM
plicity with the barbarous schemes
of the ex-queen. Paul just now
claims to be an annexationist, and
as such is in duty bound to look
askance at Charlie" These in
termittent annexation fits of Neu-
mann remind one of those with
which the circus clown was affiict-
ed. The clown was cured by a
whiskey flask, as Neumann's at
tacks are suspended by fee.
1t is painful TO witness these
feuds between friends. Peterson
and Mrs. Dominis had one, and
now here is another to veX the |
smooth waters of the lost cause.
We do not believe, however, that |
this feud will last. An issue of |
is no doubt an awkward
thing, but there are ways of getting
around it. The fool in GAS You
Like 1t" distinguishes seven degrees
Of the lie, only one of them fatal.
Within a week Paul will have per-
5uaded Charlie that this is merely
D case of the "countercheck quar-
not the ''lie direct" and
The lion and the lamb will lie down
together again.

FORGIVENESS UNDER DUREss.

The published dispatches of Mr.
Willis enable US to trace very
clearly the course of his negotiation
with the ex-queen. That amiable
lady took three positions, like a
valiant soldier, retreating no sooner
and no further than she had to,
holding herself always in readiness
to regain the ground which she had
lost. At fret she demanded the
blood of her enemies, and she
stubbornly adhered to this position
for month. At the end of that
time the piety of j. o. Carter
recommending the matter to her
'prayerful" reconsideration she
decided, seeing her throne receding
through a mist of prayers, to be
contented with the perpetual BAN
ishment of the traitors and their
children and the confscation of
their property Whether she prayed
again or not we do not know, but
Pious 10 still kept at her, and she
finally wrote a letter expressing her
intention to forgive those who had
despitefully used her, and be at
peace with all mankind.
Such All exhibition Of nauseating
hypocrisy would have been enough
to make Tartuffe himself grow pale.

PERsIsTING IN INFAMY.

Some persons have doubted
whether Mr.. Cleveland actually
gave any instructions allowing the
continuance of the negotiations with
Mrs. Dominis after he had infor-
nation Of her refusal to grant an
amnesty. The publication of Mr..
Willis dispatches puts this matter
at rest. Under date of December
20, the Minister writes as follows ::
My dispatch No. 3, of November IA,
set forth my inability to secure salts
factory guarantees from the queen up
on the points indicated. Until that
was done you had directed me to take
no further steps, but to inform you of
the result, which 4 did by a cipher
telegram, as well as by dispatch there
referred to-. Your cipher Instructions
in reply thereto, dated December 2,
and received by me December IL, by
the revenue cutter "COrwin," reiter-
ated Che duty which had already been
enjoined upon me to secure these guar
antees.
/ accordingly renewed my efforts in
that direction, and finally, on last
hereinbefOTe stated, / secured from the
queen the written pledge and agree
ment which was the prerequisite Of
my further actions.
This shows conclusively that
Mr.. Cleveland never thought of
abandoning the " Policy of In
fanny" when he found out the
murderous character of the
queen. His only instinct appar-
emily was to conceal the vile thing
from Congress and the country,
while still pushing it forward to a
conclusion. 1t is perfectly clear
that the assembling of Congress is
ali that has prevented the Admin
istration from going on TO carry
out its policy. The character of
the queen was no obstacle the
high testimony of Willis to the
! character of the Government was
, none. The President was prepared
. 70 humiliate the whole American
people and drag civilization in the
dust In order TO restore a relentless
z tyrant to the throne which her
fcrimes against the law had for
feited- II the foilies of mankind

Upon the assurance of one
man that the Locked Fence
was superior to any fence
/ manufactured, we undertook
/ the introduction of it in the
Hawaiian Islands. Our most
difficult sale was the first one,
| because 1t was a hard matter
I to convince our customer that
/ it was better than anything of
the kind he had ever used. but
from the first sale many others
have cropped out until now
we are making large sales of
it on Oahu, Kauai, Maui and
Hawaii. Once the fence is
examined, it is an easy matter
to see in it many advantages
not to be found in any other
style, nor is there half the
economy IN the conventional
wire fence as in the new
method of building,
We do not know the average
life of a fence post, but COM
mon sense teaches us that
steel will last very much
longer than wood. That is
one of the economical points
claimed by us for the Locked
Fence. Instead of using eight
hundred and eighty posts in a
mile of fencing, one hundred
and seven answers the pur-
pose by our method of build
ing. You can very easily see
that there is considerable
economy even in the original
cost of the fence. Add to this
the saving IN repairs and the
locked fence costs you fifty
per cent. less than an ordinary
wire fence.
