struction of the State constitution or OF State
legislation, defining the personal liability OF
stockholders in corporations.
The argument on the main propositions be-
fore the meeting has been long since closed.
The people of this State, and all people, trans
acting business through the Central Pacific
within the sphere of its control or influence,
are and long have been, not only united but
intensely determined in their opposition to re-
funding and in their advocacy of prompt fore
closure.
Mayor Sutro then introduced Charles M.
Shortridge, who said:
L think you will all agree with me that Mr..
Huntlngtons nerve is all right. He may have
defects elsewhere, but in that respect he COM
mands admiration. We can hardly do other
wise than admire the nerve of men who went
to the Government of these United States and
asked it to give them money and backing
enough to enable them to construct the great
est railroad on the face of the earth, while less
admirable, but not less nervy, was the cool
manner with which, after the construction of
the road, they proceeded to loot it and pocket
the money.
The proceedings of Mr.. Huntington and his
associates in these later days have shown no
decline in their original nerve stock. They
have builded palaces, bought diamonds, lived
In prodigality and purchased princes. They
have had money to assist impecunious foreign
mobiles to pay their gambling debts, money to
construct sumptuons hotels and money to in
vest in the development OF Central Africa, but
they have had no money to pay their debt to
the Government. When a man is in debt and
cannot pay he is generally in bad situation,
but these men are not. Huntington shows no
signs of distress. His nerve is all right.
The reason why the railroad corporation is
unable to pay the del it owes to the people is
because it has never tried to pay. The cor
poration has employed able and brainy men to
attend TO many kinds of work, but 1t has never
employed one to devise means OF paying that
honest debt it owes TO the Government that
created it and subsidized ii. Mr. Hun
tington does not offer even TO pay anything
on account Neither he nor his associates nor
his prince make any attempt to curtall ex-
penses in order to pay cent. On the contrary.
he has had the audacity TO ask the Govern
ment to fund the debt for 100 years at 2 per
cent. After the first break, however, this was
too much even for his nerve, and he has since
offered to compromise on plan 10 fund the
debt for forty-four years at per cent. Even
sand-lot audience could understand that
proposition and see the mingled audacity and
impudence in it.
One OF the finest exhibitions of the nerve OF
the man is evident in his statement that be is
trying to get the funding bill passed in the in
tereSt o: California, and is attending to 1t as
part of the business of the people. II he really
thinks he is there to do any business for US we

has, among other field accessories, a case
of wooden decoy ducks. With these and a
little scheming he proposed to annihilate
the coyote.
Having placed the decoys in a sedgy
place in the lake, and kept his ducks con-
fined all day, he lay in concealment ready
o shoot the coyote, but the rascal was too
smart and never showed hair. The
farmer gave it up in disgust, but neglected
to remove his decoys. The next night the
wolf went his rounds, and, finding the
painted decoys. carried them to the far
thest point on the lake, for what purpose
l do not know; but when the ducks were
released in the morning they Immediately
made for the decoys. The coyote was
there, as if keeping an appointment, and
curtain.
Fixing his heart on vengeance and a
percussion cap on his muzzle-ioader the
farmer made a systematic hunt for the
coyote and found him asleep on ledge
of rocks. The thief got half-ounce ball
in his stomach, which. being unable to as
simulate, he carried off a hundred yards,
where it caused his death.

COYOTE AND DECOY DUCKS

tho Culprit.
st. Louis Republic.
Although the coyote is essentially the
plains representative of the great wolf
family, he sometimes invades the forest
lands, greatly to the prejudice of the forest
farms.
Cunning and treachery being its marked
characteristics, the coyote is no disgrace
to its kind. Picture an ordinary prairie
wolf with tage-of-consumption ex-
preston on his thievish countenance, his
teeth habitually exposed to the following
influence of the arid region sun, and a
spirit of gaunt hunger pervading his every
look and action, and you have good idea
of Mr.. Coyote of the plains.
His cunning is illustrated by the follow
ing incident:
A poultry farmer living in the Pinon
timber, near Rio Piedre, tributary of the
Rio Grande, had constructed large reser-
voir for the double purpose of affording
water in time of drought and furnishing q
swimming-place for fine lot of Muscovy
ducks. This brings us to the point. Those
ducks were the pride of the coyotes heart,
and more especially the stay of his
stomach. His visits to the duckpond
had the merit of regularity and the charm
of success.
The farmer is great sportsman, and

Thousands of people are to-day suffering
from the baneful effects of catarrh, in one or

the nose, throat, ears, lungs, stomach, liver,
bowels, kidneys and bladder are subject to
disease and blight by catarrh. DR.. A. J.

VINO have robbed the Government OF its securi-
ties, and who have the effrontery to demand

and whereas, the honor and life OF the Govern

RESOLVED, That we demand of Congress that
the Pacific Railroad corporation be dealt with

on their railroads be foreclosed. Be it further
RESOLVED, That the chairman of this meeting
is hereby empowered and requested to appoint
committee of fifty, for the purpose of making
this permanent organization to oppose the
passage of any funding bill Dy congress.
The resolutions were carried with roar
of enthusiasm that shook the house.
A couple of socialists who were in the
main body of the house attempted to in
troduce resolutions on the subject of Gov
eminent ownership of the railroads, but as
it had been decided 10 discuss nothing but
the funding bill the Mayor declared them
out of order. Before declaring the meet
ing adjourned Mayor Sutro read the fol-
lowing telegram from ex-Congressman
Caminetti:

This would arouse other States, thus crystalliz-
