FIGHTING THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC
The California Cooperative Rail-
rOnd Association Orgnnized.

4he California Cooperative Rail-
rOad Association Organized.
Popular cooperation for the purpose
of building q railroad out of San Fran
cisco to compete with the Southern
Pacific, says the Call, is the aim of the
California Cooperative Railroad asso-
ciauon. It's prospects are fattering
and the enthusiasm and energy of its
promoters are evident
AT a meeting held in Forresters'
building Thursday evening the follow
ing officers We're elected: DR.. w. s.
Halpruner, president and business
, manager; Mrs. M. z. Halpruner. first
vice-preSident; Z. 3. Gee. second vice.
president; NJ. IL. Wilkins, grand secre-
tary; d. SeWell, recording secretary.
The plan Of the association is a com
Drehensive one. 1t is proposed, in the
first place, to secure as members all the
people in California-men, women and
children who have been compelled to
PROSTATE themselves in the pathway of
the Southern Pacific juggernaut Each
and every of these, and 10000 is only a
modest estimate Of those who can be
secured. will be listed as a subscriber
TO one share of the stock, and one only,
which will be Of the par value of s., 900
The entrance fee of the association has
been fixed at so cents, and it is pro-
posed to formulate a plan, to be en-
bodied in the constitution to be pre-
scented, whereby payments can be made
, at stated intervals and at a very low
figure for this one share.
When a membership of 10000 has
been secured in the association, which
means at least $1,000 in the treasury,
the association will incorporate to build
a railroad from San Francisco to San
Jose, somewhat under fifty miles; a
capital Of $4,000 will be subscribed for
and the tenth necessary for incorpor-
alton viii have been paid in. This step
once taken, the promoters figure that
subscriptions will then pour in and
work on the road will begin They
count upon the support of farmers and
merchants ali along the line, as well as
of the people of San Francisco, and
argue that, once in operation, the sub
scribers will rather patronize a road in
which they are stockholders than any
other,
Once, they state, let them get the
road from San Francisco to San Jose
in operation and very little trouble will
be experienced in raising the money to
continue on TO the west bank of the
San Joaquin river, down the roadbed of
the A. & ?. to Mojave and an eastern
outlet.
This. in short, is the plansof the asso-
citation, and the solicitors are now busy
laying the matter before the people of
San Francisco, of San Mateo and Santa
Clara counties. Their success so far
has been hattering, and the promoters
have every assurance that by the time
the committee is ready to report the
constitution sufficient membership
will have been secured TO make success

have made such a good showing is to
their credit. Added to the other points
against US, the old Liberal party, almost
as unit, had gone over to the Repub-
ican party. Men high in the church
had used their religious influence to
cause the people to vote the Republican
ticket. Every nerve was strained and
every device used to catch unwary vot-
ers, but notwithstanding this instead OF
losing ground the Democracy has gain
ed in strength.
The cause of the landslide two years
ago was due to the discomfort of the
masses of the people. They saw theil
condition daily growing worse and
their only method OF changing thei1
condition seemed to be by changing
their law makers. This time they have
been little precipitate in their ac.

that they have taken that action. The
Democratic victory of two years age
was too sweeping to be lasting, and
the present victory will naturally
bring about another revuisiOn.

GORDON CUMMING THE HUNTER.

ItfOm the FOrtnightly Review
Gordon Cumming began his hunting
in 1S45, in the northern part of Cape
Colony. At that time the game still
swarmed over the parched karroo
plains. Quagg2, wlldebeest, hartebaest
and springbok fell in numbers TO his
rife. In the deserts south of the
Orange river-noW sheep and goat
walk in the Hope Town division of the
Colony-he enjoyed magnificent sport
with the gemsbok, Oryx capensis)
which then abounded there. In those
daye the "trekbokken," or migration OF
springboks, was common in the north
of Cape Colony. Gordon Cumming wit
messed one Of these migrations. Il
beheld the palms. ne tells US, "and
even the hillsides which stretched away
on every side Of me, thickly covered,
not with herds, but with one vast mass
of springboks; as far as the eye could
strain the landscape was alive with
them, until they softened down into a
dim red mass of living creatures
This "trek-bokken" Cumming esti-
mated at some hundreds of thousands.
On speaking to an old Boer about it,
he remarked that at was a va:y fair
| 'trek-bokken,' but" he added" you

word that I have ridden a long days

and as thick as sheep in a fold" /

count from old farmers. English and

sTRENGHTEyED BY DEFEAT.

All great movements and enduring
progress in the world have their ups
and downs.
Unvarying success enervates and de-
generates, while reverses rouse the en-
ergies TO new effort. The great battle
for freedom of the masses and the ele-
walton of the people in common has al
ways been desperately fought and often
baff1ed, but from every check rises with
renewed strength to another victory
The Democratic party is the hope of-the
people, and though now in the valley
of defeat, it is on the march for the
mountain tops, where the sunlight of
victory is shining.
