THE WHOLE STATE INTERESTED.

1t is not enough that San Francisco should
express itself on the Pacific railroad funding
bill, which makes gift OF $50, 900, 900 to the
Pacific railroads. This whole State and the
whole country are to be robbed by this scheme.
1t is a scheme for taking from the poor and
adding to the wealth OF the overburdened rich.
Inc country Is even more interested in the de-
Ieat OF this measure than is San Francisco.
The roads should be made to pay their honest
debts, and that without delay. There is not a
Congressman who does not believe that the
subsidized corporations have received the
value of the debt many times over, and every
one OF them who votes for this scheme should
comes up for reelection.

SPEAKER REEDS S. s., City. Thomas B.
Reed, at present Speaker of the House, was at
one time a'resident of California. In 1861 he
entered the Office of Howard & Strout. in Port
land, Me-, to study law, but before he COM
pleted his studies he made up his mind TO try
his fortune in the West. Being without means
to secure a frst-class he engaged steerage
passage on vessel that sailed around
the Horn. He reached California in
1868 and for q time taught school in Stock
ton. Then he went to San Jose, where he en-
gagged in the profession of the law. He re-
manned but nine months in this State and re-
turned to Portland, Me. 1t is said OF him that
while in San Jose he applied for permission to
practice in one OF the courts, and before it was
granted was required to undergo an exam
ination. The day that he came up for
examination another candidate was on
hand. The Judge asked each but one
question, and that was whether the
legal tender acts were constitutional. Reed
without the slightest hesitation answered that
they were. The other candidate also without
hesitation answered that they were not. The
Judge made an order that both be admitted TO
practice and when asked why he had not
examined the candidates further, he replied
that when young men could decide constitu-
tional questions promptly as had the two
before him they were entitled to practice at
any bar.
