(From the San Francisco Argonaut)
I'm the heart of the great desert ol

called Indio, which, in our opinion, Is
the sanitarium of the earth. We be.

G. t. Stewart, NJ. D., writes: "The

all were educated in good schools of jour
nalism; and all will fill a place in the
future history of end-century literature.
1t is gentlemen of their class who create
hist DRY. The hero makes it, but as the
poet says, without Homer to chronicle
his deeds Agamemnon is as soon forgotten
as the heroes who went before him. Many
an historical parsonage owes his fame to the
accident that correspondent happened to
be present when he was exhibiting the
stuff that was in him.
The task of the correspondent is arduous
and full of peril. He is almost as often
under fire as the soldier in action, and
he is always exposed to the danger
of being arrested as spy and shot.
He labors under the disadvantage
of being suspected by the generals
on his own side and dealt with as an
enemy by the other. In our Civil War,
correspondents were often put under ar
rest by Union officers on charges of divulg-
ing military secrets and ordered to the
rear as preliminary to drumhead court
martial. If these dangers are avoided, the
war correspondent has next to consider
how he will get his letters to his paper
respondence of his rivals. After having
written the account of battle, and when
he is dropping from fatigue, he has some
times to be his own mail-carrier and to
ride for hours through the night to rail-
road or telegraph station. 1t is career
full of peril and exhausting labor, with
nothing to sustain but excitement and
ambition.
Mr.. Ralph is rather philosophic OBJ
server of peoples than war painter. He
got into the heart of China and discovered
the reason of the steady succession of de-
feats which have befallen the Chinese
armies. His views confirm the statements
which have appeared in the columns of

nation, and that there is no bond or cohe-
sive attraction between the people of the

SENATOR PERKINS.

The vote taken in the Senate and the
Assembly yesterday on the election OF a
United States Senator closes the contest.
That which will be taken in the joint ses-
sion to-day will simply ratify the action OF
the two houses taken separately and will
result in declaring the reelection of SEN
ator Perkins.
The result will not be surprise to any
great number of people in the State. Sem
ator Perkins, since his appointment, has
fulfilled the duties of his high Office with
an exemplary fidelity to the interests of
his State and with a degree of ability as a
debater on the floor of the Senate, which
won him high praise from the leaders of
that body. His devotion to the welfare of
California cannot be questioned, and he is
in thorough sympathy with the Repub-
lican party on all national questions, in
Guiding the great principles of protection
and bimetallism.
For these reasons his reelection will be
received with general approval by the
people. He is known to be a safe, con-
sentative, honorable man, whose ability
has been attested by his success in life, and
whose rapidly acquired prestige during his
first session in Congress affords ample rea-
son for believing that before his present
term expires he will be included among the
more influential members of the Senate
and be in position to be of immense SER
vice in advancing all the interests Of Cali
fornia and the Pacific Coast.

THE STORM.

The weather may not be unprecedented
meteorological records prove that-but it
is certainly very unusual. In the first
place, the stor ms, which have ragged al
most without cessation since the end of
November, have spread over the whole
country from ocean to ocean, which is
quite contrary to precedent. As rule
storms on this coast originate far out at
sea, strike the coast at or near Cape Flat
terry, pursue an eastward or a southern
course, and generally beat themselves to
death against the western flank of the
Rocky Mountains; while eastern storms
generally originate in Alberta or Assini-
boia, travel south into the Dakotas, and
in the latitude of the lakes split into two
streams, one making for the Atlantic by
way of the st. Lawrence or Ohio valleys,
the other following the Missouri and
Mississippi valleys to the Gulf. On this
occasion the storm has prevailed with
equal force on both sides of the continental
divide. The mining region of Colorado
which straddles the divide, has been buried
in snow on its eastern as well as its western
slopes. Simultaneously with snowslides
on the California and Oregon which
blocked travel, billiards, accompanied
with heavy snow, "killed" trains in Illi-
nois, Iowa and Wisconsin.
In this State the storm is naturally COM

DISTINCTLY ENCOURAGING.

If the result of the public meeting held
yesterday in the interests of the proposed
valley railroad was not all that some of
the more sanguine advocates of the road
expected, it was none the less much bet
ter than many people feared. The COM
mittee in charge asked for $4,000 to be
subscribed at the meeting, and in response
received $70,0 900, of which $4,000 was SUBJ
scribed by Claus Spreckels.
This sum makes a good foundation to
build upon. The influence of Mr.. Spreck-
els and those who subscribed with him
will be worth hardly less to the enterprise
than the money they pledged. In matters
of this kind nothing is needed but to have
the right men in the lead. When the prop
erty-owners see what the merchants have
done and find some of their own number
taking part in the good work, the more
progressive of them will soon get into line
and help it forward.
1t is beyond all doubt that the sole diff
Guilty in the way of the project lies in
getting it started. In all the money
centers of the world there are great &C.
cumulations of capital waiting for invest
ment. A recent number of the London
Chronicle says: "There is an enormous
superabundance of accumulated capital in
this country ready to pour itself out in any
safe direction which will return more than
~ per cent" This being the case, we
have only to make California known as
field for safe investments in order to
obtain all the money we need for our
enterprises. We cannot make it known,
however, by mere talk. We must exploit
our enterprises and get them started.
The action taken yesterday in regard to
the proposed road is known in every
money center in the world this morning.
Capitalists seeking investments will see
from the local subscriptions that there is
good business in the enterprise, and for
this reason, therefore, we regard the
result of yesterday as distinctly en-
oourooinU
