Facts and Figures.

Comparisons are often odious, but
they are also often instructive. A
comparison which is both is afforded
BY the recent proclamation Of the
American Railway Union and the fig
ures showing the total of losses by
the strike and boycott, which that
proclamation declares at an end.
The figures are from Bradstreet's, an
unprejudiced and entirely reliable
source. They are crushing. as show
ing an unwarranted and entirely I'M
necessary waste of money during a
time of widespread and profound
commercial depression. They const-
tute an indictment of the men who
forced the conditions which made
them possible. But let them speak
for themselves

$50; amount of reduction Of interest by
new bonds, $500; amount Of expenses in
case with Marion county, $500; amount
ing to Ss,S59.53, may be classed as more
or less doubtful
We think IT probable that the city
will in due time realize all these
amounts. Should the city fail to realize
any of them our estimate of liabilities
ut the close of 1894 would be increased
by the amount Of such failure.
1t is safe to say that there will be
? certain share of the taxes for the
sear that cannot be collected. The ex-
sting delinquent list from former years
is very small and we hope for good
collection fer this rfyet we must
expect larger delinquent list than
usual.
The revenue from licenses and fines
mas fallen off up to this time and we
are very doubtful If the amount esti-
mated Will be realized from this source.
Any falling off from these sources
Of revenue will also be added to our
sstimate of liabilities at the close of
tAle year..
On the other hand the city engineer
and some of the members of the coun-
I'll are of the opinion that the amount
stimated for streets and bridges can
DC materially reduced and we hope it
will be found practicable to do So
We will state that there is about 5000
Ind interest due the city from assess
nents for the building of the Marion |
street sewer. We have omitted this |
mount from our estimate as 1t Is |
iery old matter and the fact that they |
nave not been collected when the work
vas done indicates that they are not
,ollectible.
We are pleased to note that the esti-
nate of the ways and means committee

lomical than the expenses of the past
ear. We are pleased to give same in

A Disguised Citizen.

EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN: 1t is but few
years back when this city stood as
monument to silurianism. The press OF
the State made little of us upon every
occasion on account of our poor streets,
our unsightly awnings, our bobtail cars
and lastly our nasty, muddy drinking
water. But the time was ripe Tor a
change. A few of our enterprising cltl-
zens took the streets in hand and to-day
they are not surpassed by any on the
coast; the old awnings followed; new and
modern ones were put up in their stead;
the store fronts were improved until
person who had been away year would
not know the town. The bobtall cars were
replaced by the very latest trolley elec-
trio system, until now our city is provided
with electric cars going to every point OF
the compass.
But ollr people were aroused as never
before with all the grand achievements
and they were not satisfied. one more
stroke was necessary, and that was get
ting clear water for public use, and we All
felt with this an assured fact we could
snap our fingers in the face OF any OF our
rival cities and point TO them to go ana
do likewise. An election was called to
decide this momentous question. What
was the result? The people demanded
clear water by an overwhelming major
ity. Wells were selected and the water
tested by the best expert in the State,
Professor Rising, who pronounced IL eX-
cellent; in fact, better than the average
Then came outside capital offering TO
supply this city with this sparkling bev-
erage without our putting up cent. But,
alas, in everyone's life-cities as well as
indiVidualS-there comes day OF mourn
ing, and ours came on the clear water
question. 4 few of our citizens claimed
that the river water, which carries tne
sewage OF Red Bluff, Redding, Marys-
vile and the State Prison at olson, was
good enough for them, and L might say
here that this is the same class OF our re-
spected citizens who have been lnstru-
mental in keeping us back tins many
year. 1t is this same class OF cltlZens
who seek for office and once there throw
every obstacle in the way OF advancing
this city's interest. But the people OF
this city are supreme in all matters pc r
tanning to their government, and at no
time in our history mas SUBJECT peen
| treated as this water question. L nave no
interest in this other than any other cltl-
zen, but l am sick and tired OF nearing
this city berated by everyone. When
away from home the first thing stranger
will tell you is, "Oh, hate sacramento
OH account of her filthy WATER" and still
with this black eye hanging over us we
can hear some OF our real good towns
people say (who were never known TO
put up a cent toward the city's advance
ment): 'iOh, it is good enough FOR me.

That of Yesterdays Was q Repetition
OF Many of Its Predecessors.
There was large crowd of persons
present Yesterday at the Wells Fargo sale
of unclaimed articles, many being ladies.
The bidding was quite spirited, and
the sale must have realized the company
quite a handsome sum. More of the
packages brought from 81 to s. than be-
low the former figure. Old quilts bound
with ropes brought from 70 cents to -,
although new ones OF better quality can
be bought in the stores for 81. Evidently
each purchaser hoped to find roll of
gold notes, or something OF the sort, IN
closed within the bundles.
There were many neatly bound little
boxes and paper packages, when were
greatly in demand on the supposltlon
that they might contain gold watches or
diamond necklaces, but these generally
manned out bottles of medicines with tull
instructions for use.
one man bought a two-gallon demi-
John, expecting TO find it tuli OF whisky.
He paid 81 for it, and then found 1t was
empty.
A lady bought well-tied-up package
for 81 10. On removing the paper Il
cigar-Dox was disclosed, and several
men made liberal offers for the prize un-
der the belief that it contained one hun
dred choice Havanas.
NO" said the purchaser, "Pve got
man who will smoke them."
Just then she opened the cover and dis
covered that the box was filled with saw
dust, and down near the bottom was a
little phial of medicine.
Many of the most seductive packages
contained photographs that were of no
earthly value to the purchasers.
One lady bought a package that con-
tained a bundle of printed lists Of a lot
terry drawing that took place months ago.
The heaviest buyer was Charles Heisen,
and he speculated on large scale, his
purchases amounting to 500 or more. He
used good Judgment, however, and re-
tired a big winner. Among his pur-
chases were some seventy-fve boxes OF
cigars. all OF one brand. There must
! have been at least 200 cigars, which cost
| him about quarter of a cent each. He
will probably realize some 4G0 per cent.
| profit on the lot.
Many trunks and valises were sold
most of the buyers getting much more
| than their moneys worth. \ man who
paid 90 cents for satchel got new suit
| of blue flannel clothes, and Auetioneer
Simmons bravely offered him a dollar
| for his bargain.
| These .'old hoss' sales are always in
! teresting, and generally productive ot
much amusement.

About year ago Constable Brissel at
tached the lrotting-horse known as Judge

one month later Jeffrey claimed the
horse as his own, but Brissel refused TO
give him up. and. to satisfy the Judgment
in Hoflman's favor for Sl97 10, sold the
horse.
jeffrey then brought suit against Bris-
sci and his bonGsmen- NJ. Z. Hornlein

the alleged value of the horse.
The defendants deny that the horse is
worth $500 or more than $3.50, or that he
was the property of the plaintiff, in whole
or in part. After answering other points
in the complaint, the defendants pray for
