The A. r. U. saw Il, 900 people starving
at Pullman, he SAID, and resolved that ii
1t was not changed they would refuse to
haul Pullman cars. He wanted to ask
the papers of this city, who had been de-
nouncing the A, r. u, what else they
could have done? The strike failed be-
cause the leaders were put in Jail, and the
railroad companies misrepresented affairs
to their employees. He denied that the
companies had any contracts to haul
Pullman cars. The General Managers
Association would not allow Pullman to
settle the strike, he claimed. because it
wanted TO destroy the A. 4. u, as it was
afraid Of it. The Pullman Company and
the railroad companies agreed to stand by
each other. They wanted to destroy the
a. X. u, and refused to allow the strike
to be called off,
He claimed that the Pullman Company
and the General Managers Association
were responsible for all the destruction
and bloodshed during the strike. He
alluded to the late dispute between Egan
and himself, and said that the latter dis
played the tactics of a rut1ian. The policy
OF the railroads has always been to eth er
bribe or crush. If he would desert his
friends, he said, he could be in favO +
with the managers and ride on railroad
passes.
He charged that when the railroad
companies refused to move the trains
they were the ones who obstructed the
mails. The Southern Pacific employees
did their solemn duty, he said, when they
struck for the rescue of their fellow-men.
He asserted that the United States Dep
uty Marshals were the ones who de-
stroyed the railroad property at Chicago,
ana that every riot and every fire there
was by the emisaries of the Managers
Association and the Pullman Company,
and that the Associated Press dispatches
were filled with lies, and that the a. II.

MORE LIGHT NEEDED.
Comment on the Pending Street, Car
Rill.
From the San Francisco Post.1

Bill,
From the San Francisco Post.1
An esteemed anti-railroad contempo-
rary has made the startling discovery that
the sC-called street-Car bill, against which
1t has been waging a desperate war under
the impression that the Southern Pacific
octopus wanted IL enacted, is not South
ern Pacific measure after all. The bill,
1t appears, was introduced at the instance
OF number of capitalists in this city,
Oakland, San Jose and Los Angeles, who
have invested their money in street-car
lines, and it is they and not the octopus
who desire Its enactment into law.
The contemporary referred to- how
ever, is equal 10 the emergency. It still
clamors for the Governors veto on the
ground that these capitalists have no
more right to make money out Of street.
cars than those who own Market-street
cable stock and bonds.
In the same. issue of this estimable
journal we read an appeal by speaker
at the Manufacturers Convention exhort-
| ing every person with capital to invest it
for the development OF the State. Our
| contemporary goes so far as to lndorse
I the convention and everything it asks
for. 1t view OF these things, il NAV not
be lnapropos TO inquire what is really
wanting OF the capitalists OF California.
II a man who puts his money into street
cars-than which nothing more quickly
develops city-is 10 be denied legisa-
tive protection and is to be called a rob-
Der, what assurance is there that in other
things his savings will be safe? Is iour-
nallsm the only business in California
that man can follow and be sure that
his money will be allowed to pay inter-
es2 II 1t is why does not the convention
OF manufacturers advise every body TO
start newspaper?
These are questions of vital interest to
the people for other reasons than that the
entire power of the State is now being
used to oppress one form OF capital.

Handling Yesterday.
a small, dudish-appearing youth
named Frank Weisenhofer applied at the
Police Station yesterday afternoon to have
an ugly face wound dressed. His upper
lip was split in jagged manner, and
one OF his legs was badly bruised. Ser
geant McManus dressed his wounds.
Weisenhofer said he was sitting down
by the Grangers' building at Tenth and
h streets when Walter Adams, a man
upward of six feet tall, assaulted him.
After striking him in the face he threw
him down and kicked him. The victim
said that shortly before the assault he
had been in company with young
lady relative of Adams.
He said he would to-day swear to O.
complaint against the latter. Weisenho-
fer would hardly be match, physically.

Who Invented the Guillotinee

tits now certain that neither DR.. J.
l. Guillotin, who is said to have died
upon the instrument which has a name
SO strikingly like his own, nor DR.. j.
B. V. Guillotine, who has also been
given the credit of being its inventor,
was the designer of the French instru-
ment of capital punishment. It is
known to have been in use in Italy at
least 500 years before the time of either
Of the gentlemen mentioned and was
the recognized instrument used for in
ficting the death penalty in Scotland
during both the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries. Conradin of Suabia was exe-
cuted by such q machine at Naples in
the year 1868, and that it was in use in
France more than 100 years before the
time of DR.. ]. /. Guillotin is proved by
the fact that the Due de Montnorency
was decapitated ''by a sliding Ak" in
l632.-St. Louis Republic.

BANK BOOKKEEPING.
A Perfect System Never Has and May
Never Ee Developed.

A Perfect System Never Has and May
Never Ee Developed.
The cashier Of a prominent up town
bank says that such a thing as q perfect
system of bookkeeping has never been
devised and probably never will be.
when you think of it, he said, ''book-
keeping is simply a question Of mental
ingenuity. What one brain can devise
in the way of safeguards another brain
al usually undo, speaking i'll a general
way. Tho daily papers i'll condemning
tho banks because of the moderate sal
aries paid to bookkeepers overlook a
very important fact. The banks pay the
market rates to expert bookkeepers,
which are anywhere from 81, 500 to 3d.
300 q year. An almost unlimited mum
Der of men can be obtained at these
figures, and paying more money would
not make the banks a bit safer, for the
simple reason that men of strong mental
powers. great business capacity and un-
swerving integrity are not. as a rule,
content to be mechanical bookkeepers
in largo institutions. lido not, of course,
mean to disparage bookkeepers in any
way.
1.-THE point is that the men who make
good bookkeepers are uni~maginative. re-
liable and steady going persons, who
are not Influenced by great ambition,
and who do not aspire to lofty places. 1t
is not required of a bookkeeper that he
shall have very high mental qualifica-
tions as bookkeeping is now conducted
in our big institutions. Each man has a
stipulated amount Of work of q stereo-
typed nature to do. He has of course
enough ingenuity to swindle, if he
chooses to do so. Anybody who believes
that a perfect system OF bookkeeping
a be devised must also believe that it
would be impossible to counterfeit
money. The Bank Of England has been
held up as a marvel for many years. and
yet it is no secret that that institution
was swindled in the most complete
manner for many years before it was
found out. The most important and con-
sentative commercial agencies and finan-
cial institutions in this city and London
have lost money through their en-
ployees, and the Credit Lyonnaise, in
France, where bookkeeping is said to
have been carried to the very highest
point of safety, was completely upset by
a number of clerks two years ago. who
had no difficulty whatever in hoodwink-
ing the experts and p~ocketing the banks
money. New York Sun.
