SACRAMENTO DAILY RE0oRDUN1oN THURSDAY JULY 49,

Congress, entirely Independent of the
charter Of the Southern Pacific. The
latter, under a joint resolution, built
road from Mojave to The Needles, and
when the Atlantic and Pacific road ar
rived at certain point it found road
already built, and considered it better
to lease dt than to build new one
through a desert country.
1t did so, and since 1884 has con-
trolled it, but has run it at loss. The
career of his road had been an unproht-
able one, and this particular sectlon OF
the road has been source OF continuai
loss, and the road itself is now IN the
hands of receiver. He wished now 10
assess the road to it's actual owner, the
Southern Pacific, Independent OF ats
other assessment, on account OF the IN
tricacies of the business relations OF the
two companies He could ind notnlng
in the statutes that would prevent the
board, in the case of railroad tnat
owned a line and leased it, and also
owned and operated line. from assess
ing the leased line entirely Independent
of the other.
1t is utterly impossible, he claimed, for
that section of road to earn anything
like it's operating expenses, and 1t is not
likely to do so for a hundred years TO
come. The State, he was sat1sned, old
not wish and would not find 1t necessary
TO do an Injustice to his road in order to
gain a few dollars. This was the only
thing he had to ask of the board, as 1t
would segregate the assessment OF TINS
portion of his road and put it in the low
est class, making reduction on IT or
about $4,000 a mile.
Equalizer Morehouse said that 1t was
unquestionably the fact that the ooaro
assessed the Southern Pacific road for
that portion of the road between San
Francisco and San Jose for five times as
much as it did the portions from Mojave
to Needles. The only question to be con-
sidered was whether the board could le-
gally make the segregation OF assess
ment asked.

was granted his road would not OBJECT

Phoebe A. Vance, respondent; Lean
der Anderson and Maria Anderson, ap-
pellants. Ejectment. Affirmed.
In an action in ejectment it is the
duty of the plaintiff to tender to the
defendant an issue as to his seizin or
ownership at the date of bringing the
suit. But, when defendant himself
tenders the issue by denying such
seizen and that issue is tried and de-
termined against him, it is then too
late to raise an objection to the absence
of averment in the complaint. Defects
in complaint may be cured by the
averments of an answer thereto.
A deed absolute on it's face may be
shown by parol to be intended as a
mortgage. In this State, at least, every
conveyance of real property made as
security for the performance of an OBJ
legation is in equity a mortgage. ire
spective of the form in which 1t is
made. At the same time equity looks
beyond the mere form in which the
transaction is clothed, and shapes its
relief in such way as to carry out the
true intent of the parties to the agree
ment, and to this end all the facts and
circumstances of the transaction, the
conduct of the parties thereto and their
declarations against their own inter-
ests, their relations to one another and
the subject matter, are subjects for
consideration.

EXTRAVAGANCE.

You have no right to ride in a
carriage when you owe the wheel
wright who furnished the landau, and
the householder who provided the
blooded span, and the harness-maker
who caprisoned the gay steeds, and
the livery man who furnished the
stabling, and the driver who sits with
rosetted hat on your coach-box. I
am glad to see you ride. The finer
your horses and the better your car
riage. the better it pleases me. But if
you are in debt for the equippage, and
hopelessly in debt, get down and walk
like the rest of us It is we'll to un-
derstand that it is not the absolute
necessities that we find it so hard to
meet, but the fictitious wants. God
promises US shelter, but not a palace !;
and raiment, but not chinchilla !; and
food, but not canvas-back duck. AS
long as we have enough to meet the
positive necessities of life we ought to
he content until we can afford the su-
perfuities. AS soon as you see man
deliberately consent that his outgo
shall exceed his income, you may
know that he has started on the broad
road to bankruptcy and moral ruin.
The young man who came from the
oil wells in Pennsylvania, having gain
ed sudden fortune of 80, 600, 900, and
then ran through the whole of it in
less than two years, illustrated ON a
large scale what some are doing on
small scale.
This wholesale extravaganza ac-
counts for a great deal of depression
in national finances. Aggregates are
made up of units, and so long as one
half of the people of this country are
in debt to the other half, you cannot
have healthy financial condition.
The national resources are drawn of,
not only for useless extravagances,
but for those that are positively perni-
cious. The theaters of New York
cost that city every year $2,000,000
We spend in this country $95, 600, 900
every year for cigars and tobacco. In
the United States we expend annually
81 ,4S3, 900, 900 for rum. Now take these
facts, and is it strange that our nation
al finances are crazied? If you have
an expectation of breadstuffs four
times what you have now, and an i'm
portation of gold four times what you
have now, there would be no perma-
nent prosperity in this country until
people quit their sinful lavishment,
and learn honest economy.-Christian
Herald.

played the tyrant TO the top of his

bent:
A young man once calling "Waiter,
bring me steak at once !" was amazed
to find raw steak clapped on the ia
BILE before him. To his expression of
disgust came the reply, "You can't
expect meat to be cooked if you want
it at once"
Another customer had the temerity
to complain that his steak was tough.
A considerable space Of time elapsed
before he came again, but Tyson, who
forgot nothing, was waiting for him.
The grumbler called for a steak.
"Steaks are tough, was the reply.
"Then I'll have chop" "Chops are
tough" "Then what can I have ?
"Nothing. If you can't be satisfied
with food that pleases other people,
you can 60 somewhere else."
A customer daring so much as to
glance a letter, from his pocket was
curtly informed that "this is not IL
brary." A customer who had exceed
ed his welcome was hidden to 60. To
the few who complained of incivility,
Tyson's reply was that he served his
civility with his chops and steak.
Tyson's as it now is, has undergone
notifications, but the toast tradition
holds good. Both in Manchester and
in the London branch in the city, hot
buttered toast is always ready.
