THE A. r. u. POLICY.
To "Lie Low" and Use Lawful
and Peaceabie Measures"

and Peaceabie Measures.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon En-
gineer Tom Ambrose was seen going down
towards the roundhouse. and this, coupled
with the rumor earlier in the day that the
Southern Pacific Intended getting out
mail train, created good deal OF excite
ment among the strikers.
There was a general run Of about hun
dred of them for the rouDdhouse about
O'Clock in the afternoon IN the expectation
OF finding a hot engine, but they were
pleasurahly disappointed. Every machine
In the house was as dead as Meshusaleh
and Engineer Ambrose had melted out OF
sight. The mail train idea had evidently
been abandoned
From all indications and from the re-
peated declarations of Division Superin-
tendent Wilder 1t is the general impression
that the Southern Pacific will not make
even an attempt to get out train under
present conditions, and 1t seems that both
sides have adopted the Fabian policy.
Superintendent Wilder says The company
will make o move, and the strikers sent-
ments are clearly voiced in a speech made
in the A. r. q. meeting yesterday by
Charles Hall of the executive committee.
"Our position, l take H." he said, sis to

Company TO show its hand. and when it
does we will try to meet them by all law

The poem, entitled Liberty Day, 1894;

OF labor's liberty. The poem read as

Something portentous comes!

Brother, brother,
Why flashes thine eye:
Why all this ecstacy

And their greed yet enthraus

Slaves, yes, they msy be,
But are now free;
Freed by our savior.

OFF FOR SAN JOSE.
Unexpected Departure of Militia for
That Point.


The depot grounds at Fourth and Town
send streets assumed livelier appearance
yesterday afternoon than they have had
for several days past. The train which
was scheduled to leave at 2:20 did not
leave at the time and shortly after rumors
of further trouble at San Jose were freely
circulated.
At 3 o'clock the train still stood in the
depot with all its passengers aboard, and
to their anxious inquiries as to when il
would start the road officials gave the as
surance that it would 90 "pretty soon."
About 1925 the cause of detention ap-
peared. At that hour the San Rafael
company of militia. sixty strong. under
command of Captain w. II. Elliott, en-
tered from Third street and took seats in
the two rear cars. and in few minutes
the signal was given aud the train started
southwark to San Jose.
The secret of the contemplated depar-
ture of these troops was well guarded, aud
when they marched into the depot not a
dozen persons present had been forewarned
of their coming.
The police yesterday received warning
that an attempt was to be made at Fourth
and Townsend streets to put into opera
tion the same tactics in stopping trains
which had been found so effective at San
Jose-that of cOngregatlng the strikers
upon the track in front OF the train and
refusing to move. Sergeant Whitman had
received instructions from Chief Crowley
covering just such an emergency, and in
the morning. before the men went on duty,
he mad drawn them up In line and given
them orders.
In effect he said that they were sent
there to preserve the peace and to see that
railroad traffic was not Interrupted. and
that IF the necessity arose to "club. club
hard, no matter who you HIT"
The men who were on duty at Fourth
and Townsend streets yesterday were &C.
lected by the Chief himself In the morn
ing. Every man Is an athlete, and thew
were picked especially with a view of nos.

throughout the day, where he will con,
duct one of his unique perfume sales.
Professor Myers has invented fourteen
choice perfumes which he introduces to
the public by holding one of his curious
sales at the most prominent store in each
of the principle cities. His methods are
unlike any ordinarily used. His vocal
powers are magical, both in talking
and singing the merits of his wares. One
night this week he entertained the pas
sengers of the Boston boat by an exhibit
tion of his rare gifts. Moreover the per
fumes are rare and dainty. The sale is
at the store of J.R. Libby on Monday,
beginning at 9 O'Clock.

ALREADY ''boodle'' talk is ram
pant in connection with the cleo
ton of a United States senator.
Two years ago Senator Davis, was
elected without the expenditure Of
a dollar. The example set in 1898
should be followed in 1895. The
other day Minneapolis friend ex-
hibited a private letter recently
received from Senator Washburn.
Here is an extract from the letter
which reflects credit upon Mr..
Washburn: II do not propose my
self, or to ask or permit any Of
my friends to put in a single dol
lar in this campaign, excepting
enough to pay current expenses of
my headquarters at St. Paul. If
I cannot be elected squarely and
honestly, I prefer to be beaten in
my track rather than to be involved
in any disreputable or scandalous

Washburn.

No body Of men ever worked
harder or displayed greater activ-
ity to assist the needy and dis
tressed than the men who compose
the State fire relief committee have
worked to meet the wants Of the
sufferers from the great Hinckley
fire. Despite their persistent and
determined labors, and their care
in the distribution of funds, food,
clothing and building material,
there is class of chronic kickers
and grasping soreheads who rise
up and charge those humane men
with fraud, negligence, misappro-
priation of funds and material, and
other nefarious schemes too num-
erous to catalogue. Instead Of
mallgnity and abuse for those men
who have labored so assiduously
to mitigate the terrible suferings,
there should be unstinted praise
and expressions Of everlasting
gratitude.

still later, Legislative and county
officers are chosen. Will it be
necessary for each Of the political
parties to hold three or four prim-
airy elections? II SO six months |
Of the even numb ered years will be
devoted to elections. Who will be
authorized to place names on the
primary election tickets? Who
will pay the expenses Of these
primary elections the candidates
or the county? If the candidates,
what show will a poor man stand?
If the county, will the taxpayers
tamely submit to the additional
burden of taxation? How are the
judges to determine who are enti-
tied to vote at the primaries? A
man may have been Democrat or
a Populist in Nov. 1894, and he
may be Republican in 1896; he
may have voted the Democratic
ticket in 1894 and swear that he
did not; who can tell whether he
did or not? Are not the chances
for fraud as great, if not greater,
under the proposed primary cleo
ton as under the caucus system?
Has not the main trouble with the
caucus system been the failure of
the voters to attend the caucuses!
Can any law be enacted that will
compel the voters to participate in
primary elections? We have faith
in the people. They can be de-
pended upon to rebuke fraud and
chicanery at the polls. We are
decidedly of the opinion that a
complicated and expensive prim-
AIRY election law is not needed in
the country, and if such a law is
enacted it. will prove unsatisfac-
tory-will be a dead letter law.

Of killing Andy Bowen by saying
it was not the result of the blow
