THE END OF WAR.

There are two ways of avoiding
war between nations, one to arbi-
trate and the second to have the war
armament of the nations involved
in the dispute of such effectiveness
as to make military engagements of
aud duration an impossibility. The
arbitration solution is the civilized
way of settling difficulties and we
now have another argument in its
favor that will prove most effectual
even With the jingoes. The inven-
ton of the new Maxim rapid firing
gun, is thus recorded:
Civilization greets with pleasure
every device for killing men more
rapidly. The final perfection of
the science of killing means the end
of war. The inventor of the new
portable Maxim gun, therefore, is
public benefactor on very large
scale. This new gun fires 600 bull
lets minute. Each ballet viii

muzzle can be moved about like the

con pleted for the Improvement
by Baltimore capitalists of one
of the most important harbors
in this country-Aransas Pass,
Texas. For nearly two years
negotiations have been in pro-.
gress between the firm of Alex
ander Brown & Sons, bankers,
of Baltimore, and Texas land
owners and business men rep
resented by Hon. T. B. Wheel
er, of Texas and Mr.. Brewster
Cameron, of Maryland. These
negotiations resulted in Messrs.
Brown & Sons agreeing to ae-
cept a proposition to guarantee
to eXcavate and maintain a per-
manent channel from the Gulf.
of Mexico into Aransas bay on
consideration of receiving deeds
of land in San Patricio and
adjacent counties and along
Arkansas and Corpus Christi
bays amounting to 100000 in
value. The proposition was
made several months ago, and
Messrs. Wheeler andCameron
have since been trying to close
up the Texas ends and secure
the promised; land donations.
which represent an area of
about 100000 acres. They
arrived in Baltimore several
weeks ago, having, obtained
most of; the bonus required,
and, have since then been able
to success of the project.
To-secure the depth of TWEEN
ty feet ofwatelsa at low tide, as
specified by the contract, it
will be necessary to cut through
Il sandbar about 1000 feet wide,
which at present has about ten
feet minimum depth Of water
over'it. According to the re-
ports of engineers who have
examined'the situation, a per-
manent channel can be main
tained-by building one or two
breakwaters> for St. Joseph's
and Mustang Islands,. which
form the entrance to the chan
mel, or by constructing a jetty
system somewhat silimar to
that at Galveston. The latter

which is constantly, increasing.
The n4afinitude Of this enter
prise will be understood when
it is stated that the proposed
channel will give vessels an
entrance into a harbor twenty
fives miles long and six miles
wide, formed by Aransas bay.
The latter is separated by st.
Joseph's Island from the Gulf
Of Mexico. 1t is nearly four
miles long and about one mile
wide alta depth ranging from
eighteen to sixty feet. On it
are fully four miles of water
front for dock purposes, with
depth of from twenty-five to
thirty-six feet. Arkansas bay
IS twenty miles long. While
somewhat shallower than the
harbor, its average depth is
ten feet, and it can be easily
dfedged to a much greater
depth3 as the bottom is prin-
cipally loose sand. These two

THE PROTEST OF LABOR.

very large and thoroughly repre-
sentative meeting of wage-earners was
held in this city Saturday night, to pro-
test against the arbitrary and unreason-
ing horizontal reduction of 25 per cent.
on freight rates proposed by the Railroad
Commissioners.
1t was not good night for such meet
ing because so many wage-sarners have
to labor on Saturday night, and SO many
others are devoted on that evening to
home duties. Nevertheless a thousand
or more thoughtful men, thoroughly
in earnest, assembled at the call of a
committee OF wage-earnsrs and ex-
pressed the sentiment of labor concern
ing the reduction proposed.
It was a dignified, Unconditional meet
ing. but deeply earnest and clear think
ing meeting of men who know exactly
how the cause of labor will be affected by
reduction of its purchasing capacity
under lessened wage, assuming that If
there is the reduction of rates proposed
by the commission, the railroad COM
panies will be compelled to economic in
the only elastic direction possible, and
that is in the 60 per cent. paid to labor of
the entire expense of operation and
maintenance of the roads.
The meeting was very positive in its
expression that such reduction would
affect not only the wages paid railroad
employees, but all other wages. whether
paid out by the railroad or by other en-
ployers. Its reasons for this belief are
fully set out and 30 clear and convincing
that no impartial mind can fail to be con-
WINGED Of the soundness of the reason
ing.
The meeting was very happy in max
ing clear to the understanding of who
ever reads its protest that what it asks is
simple justice. that it is not actuated
WHOLLY by self-interest nor dominated by
mere fear, nor that the men are subservi-
ent creatures of employing capital, for in
the protest, which appears in full in an
other column, occurs this frank, digni-
fed and emphatic expression:
That the laboring men OF the country are
fully intelligent upon this question OF railroad
rates and that they do not demand thai there
shall be no lawful regulation to prevent I'M
lust determinations or excessive rates of
charge by railroads. But they 90 under
stand and we SO declare, that the Railroad
ComIaisslon was established to do as fairly
by the railroad as by the people, and that be-
lore any reduction in rates is made that Com
mission should, in calm aud judicial man
ner, ascertain that rates are too high COM
pared with cost of operation and mainte-
nance OF the roads, and that such Commission
should make no reductions that will impair
the right OF the railroad to a fair and safe re-
turn or imperil the vital interests OF the
Wage-earners, so that the evils of reduction
wall be greater than the supposed benefits.

1t is not uncommon by any means for
two or more papers to use the same
composition, material, press and other
mechanical agencies for production.
In this case, however, the proof, stereo-
typing and pressrooms and appliances,
and the force of compositors, proof
readers and other attaches are as dis
tinct and independent as ever on these

having nothing in common.

TYPE-SETTING MACHINES
OPERATION.

In this mornings Record-Union ap-
Merganthaler Linotype, or type-setting
machine. Four of these machines have
been set up in the office of the Record
Union, for which extensive changes
have been made upon the basement and
the first floors of the Record-Union
bnilding. The Record-Union manage
ment has so adjusted room space for the
machines that their operation may be
easily witnessed from the front Of the
building, and as they will be pretty
constantly in use day and night, the
public will have ample opportunity to
become familiar with the work of these
beautiful examples of high mechanical
skill and invention.
Upon the basement floor beneath
where what was the Record Union
paper and mailing-room there have
been placed electric motors, one of
which will exclusively operate the Limo
type machines, and the other the per
fecting press of the Record Union. This
motor-room will presently become the
makeup" room, also, where the lines
cast by the machines will be marshaled
into columns and sent to the stereo.-
tipping room, which is also new and To-
Gated next north of the motor-room.
Above the latter apartment and con-
nected with it by a stairway is the COM
position-room, where the machines
stand facing the glass front of the Rec
ord-Union's first story. opening upon
the street level
Immediately back of this room is the
now occupied by the cases of the COM
positors who set up advertising matter.
Where the type-setting machines now
stand was once the paper and mailing
room, but room at the rear of the
stereotype department has been fitted
UP in the basement for the storage of
paper. and from ii a lift raises the pa
per rolls to the wetting machine in the
pressroom, while the mailing apparatus
and clerks now have better accommoda-
ton upon the second floor.
These changes have all been effected
rapidly within the past few weeks, and
being now about complete will present
themselves to visitors as exceedingly
convenient and neat. and admirably
adapted to the rapid and economic bust
ness of issuing the Record-Union.
The Merganthaler machines are pos
sessed IN half interest by our evening
contemporary, the Bee, the composition
of that paper being had upon them by
its own force in the daylight hours. and
the Record-Union using them with it's
own force at night. Thus both papers
accommodate themselves to an eco

THE San Francisco Examiner, through
its Sacramento correspondent. has de-
clared that the Southern Pacific Com
pany will favor the election Of J. w.
Wilson for the office of Mayor. The Er-
anainer is VIGOROUSLY unreliable, and its
statements will not be accepted without
qualification. But the assertion it has
made is accompanied with certain cir
cumstantial details which confer a re-
mote appearance of verify. We there
fore deem it worth while to say to the
Examiner, to the people Of Sacramento
and to the employees of the Southern Pa
cifo Company, entitled to vote in this
city, thai we are in possession of direct
and authentic information upon the sub
iect. and that the Southern Pacific Com
pany will not favor the eleotion of either
Mr.. Wilson, Mr.. Steinnan, Mr.. Hub
bard or Mr. Lawton.

ested in good government in Sacramento.
1t is not unmindful Of the highest inter-
ests of it's employees. and 1t believes that
If the rights and interests Of the company
itself were unjustly and unlawfully as
sailed. it could depend upon the fair
treatment it has uniformly extended to
its employees to receive at their hands
return of like fair treatment.
But the Southern Pacific Company has
no interest in the result of the municipal
election which would justify it or any
other corporation in influencing the peo-
pie who may be assumed to be under the
obligations which employment may be
presumed to create. In fact. the obliga-
tons of employer and employe are mu-
tual, ii there is a mutual exchange of
equivalents-mutual concession, mutual
forbearance and mutual good will. Under
the circumstances If any man says to an
empIoye Of the Southern Pacific Company
in this city that he is expected by the di
rectory OF tnat corporation TO vote Tor any
candidate now before the people for cleo
ton to municipal Office in this city he
may know that the statement is gratuit-
Gus and unauthorized. No corporate In
f1uencs will be exerted to secure the cleo
ton Of any candidate to any position.
This simple statement covers the ground
completely. Ingenuity might invent
other ways of its presentation. 1t is capa-
bic Of many Foundations. It might ac-
quire emphasis by repetition, but at last
1t would amount to simply this: The
Southern Pacific Company is not inter-
fering nor attempting to interfere with
the result of the municipal election.
