HAS A "SNAP" IN CHILE,
]. E. Buckley Will Get $4,000
a Year as Auditor of a
Railroad.
The Road Is About 5000 Miles Long
and Reaches to All Important
Points.

j. E. Buckley of Spokane, son of the late
J. NJ. Buckley, the capitalist of the same
city. for long time general manager of
the Western division of the Northern Pa
cific Railroad. is in the City.
The young man, who has been engaged
in business for the last few years. is bound
to Chile to draw salary nearly as big as
that received by President Cleveland.
He is to become auditor of railroad,
and will draw a stipend OF $4,000 month,
or$36,000 year. Unfortunately, however,
there is drawdown in this, and the sum
is shrunk by reason of the depreciation of
the value of Chilean silver money.
The $4,000 he will get will be equal to only
$1,000 in American gold. But as this means
$4,000 year anyway, and as it is not a
bad salary, he will take it, and, for all he
knows now, may remain some years in
Chile.
The railroad with which he is to be con-
nected is about 5000 miles long, length to
most people incredible in country gener-
ally called little.
1t extends from lquique to Valparaiso
and to all the big towns of the coast. Be-
sides this it has many branches, each of
which taps places of more or less import
anCe.
1t is only few days since Mr.. Buckley
secured the position. 1t is stated that be
Will be absent for some years in Chile, and
may make his home permanently there.
A number of friends who have long
known him IN Washington are in the City,
and they have been congraIulating him on
the advantageous circumstances under
which he will make his debut in Chile.

States Senate, have made his name blessed
throughout the length and breadth of our
State.
ReSoZUed, That, inasmuch as J. T. Harring-

1t was decided that the secretary should
telegraph the substance of the relevant
resolutions to Senators Morgan and Goebel,
and mail copies of the proper resolutions
to ali officials commended, from Cleveland
to Fitzgerald.
Tnen the old officers were reelected by
acclamatlon, as follows: Grand sachem,
Raleigh Barcar; vice grand sachem, Louis
Metzger; grand secretary, Lawrence j..
WEIGH; grand treasurer, John d. Fleming.
Max Pepper nominated Raleigh Barcar
for his third term, saying that he was par
tlcularly the man for this campaign.
Il say this campaign, " said Mr.. Pepper,
because we enter the campaign with an
appearance that seems to bear discourage
ment; but we have entered discouraging
encouragement will give way to encourage
ment before the campaign Closes
Mr.. Barcar made a very nice speech. In
the course OF his remarks he said:
lit has been said that we have an open
ing not the most auspicious in character,
but believe it can be said to-day, as will
be said OF any time in the past by stu
dent OF history, that in the success of the
Democratic party lies the perpetuity of
American liberty. | do not assert as
positive fact that we can win out, but | be-
lleve that within the past three or four
months an unexpected and gratifying
change of sentiment toward the Demo-
cratic party has been shown"
Mr.. Barcar spoke of the Monroe doctrine

and would do
The treasurer started to talk about the
trouble in getting the dues due from the
various clubs, and it brought forth law
that the grand sachem should visit every
club In the State once a year and stir
things up or send a representative, which
law was moved by G. A. Reynolds.
During the discussion Mr.. Gibson de-
clared that the San Francisco club was
the only live one in the State, and that
whenever Mr.. Barcar would come to
Stockton the 800 members there would
rise from the dead.
Then they adjourned and thought about
the banquet.

by the president of the association and
himself. All this Thompson and Norton
eft al. well knew, and their charges in view
OF this fact are a contemplate, malicious
and infamous piece of work. 1t brings
contumely upon the directors, gentlemen
OF un9uestonanle responsibility, who get
no compensation for their iabors except
the gratitude OF poor and disabled old sol
dIers-comrades who have fought by their
side for flag and country On bloody battle
heids. This mean, petty action of that
sorehead post-I mean Lyon No. S-should
cause that body to oe disbanded. 1t has
been the cause of trouble before, for few
years ago it split and many of its better
members formed Admiral Porter Post
80 the directors have been seen in
state of intoxication on the home grounds,
have they? Well, here they are: W. C.
Burnett, William ]. Ruddick, J. II. Gar
rett, }. c. Currier, @. A. Fuller S. J. Loop,
J. d. Barnett G. w. Arbuckle, Samuel W.
Backus, @. w. Stroll, and your humble
servant. Doubtless they will be surprised
at the beautiful character given them by
their good { p comrades of Lyon Post, No. s.
BAIL It's waste of words to even discuss
those fellows.
Zone charge says the best rooms were
fitted UP at the home at an expense of 5000
by the directors for their own use. That
is simply a falsehood. The rooms were
empty and were prepared principally for
the accommodation of the friends and re-
latives of the inmates of the home that
they might have a place to sleep when
they visited the institution. Visitors can
not be quartered in the dormitories with
the old soldiers, neither upon the COM
mandant, so $3.50 was expended in bed
room furniture and in making the apart
ments inhabitabe.
Now the canteen or saloon complained
of. Most of the old men quartered in the
home are addicted to liquor, and before
the canteen was esta blished they would
make bee line every pension day for the
saloons outside of the grounds.
"They would even carry their warrants
to those low groggeries that thrived upon
the old soldiers money. There thew
would lie, and die in some cases by the
roadside, and as they could not be con-
fined in the home the directors did the
only thing they could, and that was estab-
1ish the canteen, where man could get
only so much liquor and care was taken
that he did not get too much.
81 could take you through all of those
Infamous charges and prove how false
they are. They are untrue from beginning
to end and that will be proven in few
days, as Lyon Post will learn Governor
Budd will be asked to appoint a commit
tee to go through the whole place. But it
is exceedingly doubtful if he will pay any
attention. TO Thomps on. Norton, Huzzy

a most remarkable resem blance TO the late
Bill Nye, which has increased his fame.
In the large majority at least the con-
ference represented the better and most
interesting elements of the Democratic
party, as does the Iroquois organization
whore it has been established.
When Grand Sachem Raleigh Barcar had
raped to order. he said that the pending
meeting would in certain sense strike
the keynote OF the coming Democratic
campaign, and that the people were taking
an interest in politics that they had-never
taken before.
There is going on,'' he said, "a propa-
ganda, revolutionary in character, and all
parties Will consult that propaganda in
their platforms"

Some resolutions were read and referred
and then an adjournment was taken.
At the beginning of the afternoon ses-
sion Max Pepper, chairman of the com
mlttee on resolutions, read the report of
the committee. 1t was applauded through
out and adopted with heartiness and
unanimity.
A number of hands were cold and still
when the resolution indorsing Cleveland
was read as follows:
Resoleed, That we appreciate and approve
Ine patrlotlc efforts made by the present
National administration to adjust the many
perDlexing public questions presented for its
consideration and action, and we believe that
in the main these measures have baen dealt

the credit OF President Cleveland and his CO.
adlutors and to the good and glory OF our be-
loved country.
The next one went better. Even those
who were conscious of the remarkable un-
wisdom OF some of Budd's appointments
clapped their hands.

Washington's birthday was observed at
Haywards by the most largely attended
athletic event ever held in that vicinity.
Over 2500 people assembled at the grounds
of the Haywards Athletic Club, to witness
the football game between the Centerville
and home teams.
There is considerable friendly rivalry be-
tween the two organizations and the parti-
sans of each were enthusiastic from the
first. During the first half the Haywards
team, under Captain A. Lacunha, played
hard ball. ana, as result, the score stood at
the call of time, 10 to in favor of the local
players.
Captain Carter of the Centerville team
succeeded in rallying his men for the
second half and they carried things with a
rush. The Haywards team did not score
