THE STAMP OF STYLE.

The newest velvet ribbons have jetted

as well as dress trimmings.
Openwork embroidered ohiffons come in
great variety, and white embroidered with
black is used for light mourning.
a novel and very Frenchy idea for a
hat is q largo bird with outspreading
wings arranged to form a very complete
affair.
Moire gauze in lovely pale shades is O
new material for evening dresses, and de-
cided MORE effects are shown in the new
crepons.
White roses and ivy are much used in
millinery, and white velvet spangled with
steel makes a very effective crown for
dressy bonnet.
Ostrich feather trimming mado Of small
tips is very popular for evening dresses
and comes in sets shaped to outline the
neck, with larger feathers to form the
sleeves.
Among novelties in dress trimmings is
jet band shaped to edge a yoke, and
from this, in front, falls chenille fringe,
tipped two or three inches with jet. which
reaches the bottom of the waist

Hand painted dresses, with flowers and
fruit thrown in garlands all over the skirt,

only $50 miles completed, by issu-
ing to the bondholders $3O,OOO,0O0
of preferred stocks-guaranteed to
pay s per cent annual interest, and
S2l, 100000 more of preferred stock
making S51 100000, representing
$50 miles of finished road, and. to
cap the climax of fraud and rob
berry, they issued $40, 900, 900 addi-
tiOnal of pure, unadulterated water,
free gratis for nothing, of common
stock, to themselves. This was a
gigantic piece of brazenfaced public
robbery. 1t was equal to an aver
age of cost of the fabulous amount
of S1S5, 900 per mile, or more than
six times its real cost.
And, further, these Pacific rail
roads, all of them, but emphatically
the Northern Pacific, Southern
Pacific and Central Pacific and
Union Pacific railroads. are the
nations property. The people paid
every dollar that expended on their
construction. The railroad com
panies never expended one dollar of
their actual personal funds for that
purpose and in no sense honestly
own them.
But why waste time and paper to
further expose these multiplied
villainies? They crop ont as thick
as fieas on the back of NANCY
dog, and are ten times as blood
thirsty. They are like the horse
leech, which sucks in at one end
and empties at the other, but with
this important ditierence-the rail
road leech has but one end, and
that is the sucker. And all the
time they are in an insurgent atti-
tude towards the country. They
have acted dishonesty all along,
and at the same time stand upon
their legal q rights against the
government, which they have cap
tured, and defy the uthority and
power of congress to disturb them
or their felonious schemes. But
they will yet be severely convinced
that the American people, if not
their government, are superior to
these confederated corporations.
and, in the meantime, they ought
to be considered as recalcitrant in
stitutions. The power that dared
so fraudlently to give away the
peoples rights and territory is still
the power that can reclaim them
and restore them. These are but
sample railroads. They are a fair
criterion of all the land grant and
subsidy railroads and may be safely
considered as belonging to the same
family. Along with these enor-
nous grants of lands, the Pacific
railroads got vast sums of subsidies
in money, of which till this very
day, nearly 5000, 100000 is still
due; so that these princely dona-
tions of lands and money were
equal to the enormous sum of
81 200, 100000 Besides, they ar
bitrarily laid their grasping claws
on the people near their donation
railway lines as blackmail from
farmers, counties, cities and states,
amounting to many millions more.

RAILROAD GRANTS.

Acres Have Been Illegally
Seized by lnsatiate Corr
poration Vampires.
The record of the railroad life
and progress in the United States
ought to have more than passing
notice; for undoubtedly it has
earned the second place in the bad
line of national spoliation. 1t has
been an embodiment of such polit-
zeal and eXtortiOnate infamy as to
be almost indescribable; vending
its unprincipled and crooked way
through legislative, executive and
judicial processes in the continual
accomplishment of its cunning
schemes, undermining the founda
tions and vitality Of our republican
system, and for thirty years build
ing upon the ruins of freedom sys-
TEN of political corruption and
wage slavery perilous and danger
Gus and subyersive of our dearest
rights and privileges. But have
not, and cannot fully uncover all
the appalling enormities of this
complex conspiracy, so full of
plausible and pernicious agencies.
We have already examined in
detail and exposed the bad character
and true inwardness of the money
monopoly in the interest ola strong
government, but we cannot, owing
to the want of space and time, do
more than catalogue the numerous
laws and schemes of spoliation of
the people secured by the control
of railway, telegraph, telephone,
coal, coal oil, sugar, produce and
many other trust combines and
gambling iniquities that crowd the
annals of plutocratic extortions.
The imperial area of the United
States, exclusive of Alaska is sos,
600, 900 acres. These lands have
been squandered by various laws
and fraudulent gifts to railroad cor
porations and individuals until to-
day there are comparatively but
few acres fit for settlement upon
which an American can hew out a
comfortable home. Up to July,
1892, S24'462, 900 acres had been
disposed of, principally by gifts to
railroads and other monopolies, and
of which only 4S3, 100000 acres
were secured by individuals; and
of this amount fully one half was
entered fraudulently in the interest
of spectators. The indiscriminate
and fraudulent gifts of the peoples
lands to the American railroad mo
nOpolies was both a political and
social crime. This enormous crea
ton of mans greed and persistence
are phenomenal. 1t has grown in
fifty years from but a few miles,
and covers by it's network of rails
the whole country.
Up to 1860 only 100000 acres
of land had been given to internal
improvements, in aid of their con
struction But by 1873, only
thirteen years later, the railroad
grants alone amounted to 1882,

WATER SUPPLY FOR IRRIGATION.

In its closing days Congress made an
appropriation for continuing the ingvesti-
cations of water supply in the arid re-
gions, and plans are now being prepared
for carrying on this work. This branch
of Government inquiry is carried on un-
der the supervision of F. H. Newell. topo-
grapher of the United States geological sur
vey, who has had wide experience in such
investigation in the West. Mr.. Newell
states that his commission has already es-
tablished a'number of stations for measur-
ing rivers in various parts of this state,
and have begun, in a small way, the in
vestigation of artesian and other under
ground sources of supply. 1t is believed
that the result of these inquiries, carried
on by skilled Government engineers will
show that vast streams of water are now
flowing underground from all our mount
ain watersheds to the sea. To conserve
this wasting water, store it in suitable
basins and place it on land now practically
worthless, because it is unwatered, are
ends toward which Professor Newell and
his assistants are workin-. The appro-
priations heretofore made for this depart
ment of Government work have been
trifiing and even now are not adequate for
properly carrying on work on which the
full development of the arid West so
largely depends. No satisfactory attempts
can be made at subduing the many large
tSacts of desert land which lie scattered
I'll over the Southwestern states and ter
ritories until some comprehensive system
of Government surveys and tests shall
show exactly what can be depended on
ror water supply, together with details
as to catchment basins and reservoir
sites. Possibly the good results which
will necessarily follow the present investi-
cations will induce the next Congress to
be more liberal in appropriations for this
class of work.

A DISGRACE

The property owners on North Main
street who are renting their property for
immoral purposes are perhaps not aware
that they are violating a state law.
The moral aspect OF the matter is an
other thing and one which. of course, ad-
IN is OF no argument. 1t would be a mat
ter of very nice discussion. perhaps, to
determine how much better man is who
rents his property to a prostitute than
the unfortunate who pays the rent.
The so-called social evil is a very ancient
one and one which all we'll regulated cities
contrive to cover up and keep in the ack-
ground as much as possible. Hitherto,
i'll this city, Alameda street and a few adj
joining alleys have afforded abiding places
for fallen women, but of late they nave
become emboldenel from the immunity
they enjoy, and at least three bagnios are
conducted openly Oh North Main street,

Angeles, and their brazen occupants
openly ttaunt themselves in the faces of
the wives and daughters OF the city.

A NEW DEMAND FOR ORANGE TREES

For many years Southern California
imported orange trees from Florida be-
cause the demand here for nursery stock
was greater than could be supplied by
local deal RS. In many instances. also
Florida trees of the sour orange stock
were shipped to this state on the plea
that they were more vigorous than our
home grown sweet stock. although this
claim has since been proven erroneous.
The recent Florida freeze has created
demand in that state for young orange
trees and good outlet is thus offered
California nursery men for their surplus.
which has been ruling at extremely low
figures. The Florida Agriculturist COM
menting on the importation of California
orange trees, warns the planters to be-
ware of importing the San Jose scale
along with the stock they are purchasing
from California dealers. This warning S
useless, however, as the San Jose scale
never attacks the citrus family, its depre-
dations being confined entirely to decidu-
uos trees, and even on them being easily
kept in check by any one of the numerous
soap washes. The growing of citrus
nursery stock has been at low ebb in
California for several years, but will re-
ceive new impetus from this sudden and
unexpected demand from Florida.
