SEND AN UNPLEDGED DELEGA-
TION.

The Los Angeles '4Times" has nom-
mated William Mckinley of Ohio for
President. If the Times" has its way,
California will appear in the St Louis
convention tied to the wheel OF Mr.. Nc
Kinley's chariot. We do not for
moment believe the Times will have
its way, but the sending of a pledged
delegation to the st. Louis convention
is the abandonment Of an opportunity
to place California in position which
would be advantageous during the four
years of administration to follow by the
candidate nominated at ST. Louis
The Times " advocacy of Mr.. Nc
Kinley is strictly in the interests of Nc
Kinley and not in the interest of Cali
fornia. Colonel Harrison Gray Otis is
evidently ambitious of the reputation
of having nominated his friend McKin-
ley, or at least Of having placed Cali
fornia in the Mckinley column At
tempts are being made to control the
coming State convention in the inter
ests of the sugar trust, or railway
corporations, or combinations of poll
tieians, all of which should be defeated.
Whenever a man is known to be abso-
lutely the bond slave of some candidate
for President, the Republicans in Cali
fornia should keep him at home and send
in his place some man who will consti-
tute a member of an unpledged dele
CATION, SO that the State may be able
to place itself in a proper position for
some benefit to ensue from the action of
Its delegation.
In this connection it is to be noted
that George C. Perkins is announced as
a candidate for the Office Of Vice-Presi-
dent. His nomination would be of no
value to the State Of California. Mr..
Perkins possesses no qualifications
whatever for the office of President and
in the event Of his election to the Presi-
dency, there would be but one life be-
tween this nation and unforeseen ca
lamity Vice-President is an Office far
more ornamental than useful. Mr..
Perkins is a self-made man and he owes
far more to himself than he does to the
Creator. Fortuitous circumstance has
placed him in positions for which he
possessed no educational equipment and
his nomination by the convention to the
office of Vice President would be all the
recognition California might hope for.
An unpledged delegation to the St.
Louis convention should be the motto
of the State at the present time, and
the Colonel otises and the George c.
Perkinses should not stand in the way
of the highest interests of the State.

THE BUILDING OF THE ROAD.

On Monday the Record Union" pub
rshed the full text of Mr.. c. P. Hunt
ington's statement before the Senate
Committee on Pacific Railroads AT
the time it was not possible to accom-
pany it with such commentary as the
exceeding Importance of the statement
demanded. Such consideration must
now be had in review of this highly val
liable exposition of the history and con-
dition Of the Central Pacific Railroad
There has been so much of falsity
spoken and published regarding the
funding question, so much that is un-
true concerning the company and its
status, and the testimony of witnesses
before the Congressional committees of
inquiry has been so prevented. garbled
and falsified, that it was needed in the
interest of truth that an exact and cir
cumstantial account should be given
The impartial reader will not fail to
reflect that the statement puts on record
matters with full knowledge of the fact
that if any of them are susceptible of
challenge and disproof, they invite re-
futation if that is possible. 1t follows
that these historical accounts come to
the public with all the force of impreg-
nable truth, and strengthened by the
obvious challenge they carry.
When the transcontinental roads were
projected, they were wanted by every
body. The Central Pacific was first in
the field under the Acts of 1852 and
1854. At that time railroad construction
material was enormously high. For in
stance iron rails then cost $40 a ton
laid, whereas steel rails can be now
had for about $50. Locomotives then
cost from $4,000 to $4,000 which
would now cost but $1,000 or $4,000
each. Freight had then to be brought
around Cape Horn at three times the
present cost, and proportionately high
insurance.
Labor was very much higher then
than now. and material brought around
the Horn had to be paid for in gold. So
too. as to the coast material, in which
was a vast quantity of timber then ne
cessary, but which has been replaced by
the filling Of canyons that formerly had
to be spanned. 1t is in evidence that
some Of the gold procured for these out
lays cost as high as 81 20 in currency
for each dollar.
These conditions the opponents of the
road and of the funding bill not only
industriously ignore, but they spurn
them, and refer to them, If at all, with
assumed contempt. Yet to the fair
mind they are factors of first import
ance to be considered in arriving at a
true judgment, and ascertaining the
equities involved In doing justice in this
matter.
The second important point made is
one familiar to all who remember the
pioneer era OF transcontinental railroad
building. namely, that it was with the
utmost difficulty at the time that capi-
tai and human energy could be induced
to take hold of the great work and as
sumo the enormous risk conceded on all
hands to be involved. The efforts are
well remembered that were made in So
liciting capitalists and men familiar
with the handling of great works to en-
gage in the enterprise. At the East and
on this coast they refused to a man,
saying that not only was the risk too
great and the possible profits too re-
mote. but some Of them denounced the

Is Judas In Heaven?

Rev. J. I. Byrum claims that
whoever else may be lost there can
be no doubt about the salvation of
Judas IscAriot. He argues first,
that he was one of the elect and sec
ondly, that he repented of his sins
before his death. Neither Of these
propositions is supported by proof.
What evidence is there that Judas
was was one of the select in the
sense in which the word is used by
theologians? Certainly the Script
ures afford none. Possibly the gen
t:eman has a duly certified list Of
the names of the elect. If so, he
should produce it at once and re-
lieye the anxiety of the many read
ers of the News who are lying a.
wake nights worrying over the fate
of Judas Iscariot.
In regard to his repentance it is only
necessary to remind the reader that
while Judas undoubtedly repented
of one sin he Immediately committed
another and went unbidden into the
presence of his Maker with the awful
crime of self-murder on his soul. If
my friend can manage to get the be-
trayer of our Saviour into Heaven
though the broad gate of Universal
ism, well and good; but he must MT
try to crowd him in through the
straight and narrow path of Ortho-
doxy,
AS matter of Justice to Peter
who seems to have been dragged IN
to the article for no particular reason
l would call Mr.. Byrum's attention
to the fact that though that disciple
accOmpane ed his denial with oaths,
he did not curse his Master. A very
few minutes devoted to searching the
Scriptures will convince my we'll
meaning but mistaken friend of his
grave error in thus accusing Peter.

Found the Culprits-

Chattanooga, Aug. 2S.-(Spec-
ial. )-Threc weeks ago r. w. Chris
tain, an educated negro from Mer-
freesboro, delivered an address at
South Pittsburg in which he said the
Democratic party was the sound par
ty for the negroes to Stick to. or the
Republicans had made tools of them
year after year. After the meeting,
while driving to Bridgeport Ala,
in a hack, masked men stopped the
horses, took Christian out and
robbed him of all he had and then
gave him a fearful whipping.
A week attev a negro fell between
the cars and had both legs cut off.
He confessed to being one OF the par
ty. Another negro gave himself up
and implicated others, but his trial
by some means was hurried through
and he was acquitted by a South Pitts
burg Justice. Now the Alabama
people have taken it UP and have
four of the party in jail. They will
make q full confession at their trial
and will, it said, implicate prominent
white people, who planned the whole
business.

would not seek as a remedy the
commission of still more deadly SIN.
All that we are to understand by
the expression ''repented himself is
that Judas, seeing what his treachery
had led to, was filled with remorse,
not in the least akin to repentance,
that is very common even in the
worst criminals. This view is sus-
tanned by the fact that Judas hanged
himself, a thing repentant never
did.
Thus we see that when they are
properly understood, Mr.. Byrum's
statements amount to absolutely
nothing. And the same is true Of
all the various assertions made by
the Universalists to prove that there
is no eternal punishment They
wont stand the test Of analysis.
/ do not publish this answer JC
Mr.. Byrum's arguments (?) from an
y love of controversy, or from any
belief of their Importance, for they
are all too weak and puerile to in.

any effect on the people, but | sim

HERE'S THE WINNERS.

National Party, With Bentley and
southgate Advertised as Candidates.
ALLIANCE, Ohio, July 16.-The
headquarters for the United States
of the national independent party
are located in this city. Inquiry
develops the fact that there is no
likelihood of the national candi-
dates being withdrawn in order to
strengthen the democratic free sill
yer ticket. Prominent leaders of
the national party say that while
they earnestly favor free silver as
a step in the right direction they
do not regard 1t as the ultimate
solution Of the money question.
Their platform goes further and
declares that all money should
be issued by the general
government only. 1t further
declares that all such money
should be full legal tender for all
debts, public and private, and
should be based upon the wealth,
stability and integrity Of the ma
ton. They allege that the with
drawal Of their ticket in favor OF
the free silver democrats would
mean the sacrifice of principle not
only on the money question, but
also as to equal suffrage, land and
tax reform, suppression Of the
liquor traffic, direct legislation and
several others Of their platform
declarations. They claim q vigorous
campaign will be pushed In behalf
Of their candidates, Bentley, OF
Nebraska, for president, Southgate,
OF North Carolina, for vice presi'
dent.
