LAST OF THE INDUOTRIALS GONE.
Barker's Regiment in Camp on the
River Bank.
whence the Men Expect to Leave To-
day for San Francisco on
Chartered Steamboat.

It is to be hoped that Sacramento has
seen the last of the so-called industrial
armies.
Colonel Barker marched his regiment
OF 800 men out of Snowflake Park yester-
day afternoon and went into camp on the
river bank down at Sutterville. The men
took all their camp effects with them, ex-
cept the aroma that had emphasized their
presence there for nearly two weeks
That will disappear in time.
1t is understood that this body-tne last
remnant of the armies that invaded this
city from San Francisco. Oakland ana
Stockton-will depart to-day. by steamer,
for San Francisco, whence they came, the
money to pay their fare having been Sc
cured through the efforts of Mayor
Steinman.
Colonel Barker did not find Sacramento
ready, as he expected, to furnish trans
portation to the Missouri River for the
various regiments, and when he realized
that the only way by which he and his
followers could get out OF the city (except
by walking) was to return by steamer 70
San Francisco, he reluctantly concluded
to accept the alternative.
From the first the citizens and authori-
ties of this city steadfastly refused to give
money for the purpose of dumping these
combined armies of twelve hundred men
on some neighboring community, as
other cities had done; but they were
ready at any time to return them to the
places they came from.
Some of the men were given work here
at fair wages. but hundreds OF them de-
clined good offers, saying that they had
started for Washington IN furtherance o1
great cause" and were determined on
going thither.
The city is now free of that kind of So
called "lndustrials," except few thai
call this their home, but who are seldom
seen TO work, unless with their jaws
They have, however, ceased to be novel
ties in the community. and their presence
is hardly noticed.

When Colonel Drummond and his
Stockton regiment of 80 men eneamped
