Doy,T

The Boston Herald INDUCES in d philan-
thropic dissertation on the celebration
now in progress in California Of the semi
centennial Of the discovery of the first
gold nugget in that State. In the course
of its article the Herald observes that
there are more monopolies in the State of
California than in any other State of the
Union. and those in control Of these com
binations. have exercised their power with
a rigor which finds no parallel elsewhere.
As the discovery of gold. continues our
Boston contemporary, was the prime
cause for the building up of these COM
bines." and as the development upon
ordinary agricultural and industrial lines
would have worked vastly more for the
general benefit of the people. it is ques-
tionable whether this celebration now go
ing on in the State is an occasion
over which the citizens have q right to
honestly felicitate themselves. In conclu-
sion, the Herald reasons that it is pos
sible tina California would now be a more
prosperous commonwealth. with greater
social contentment among its people, If
a grain Of gold had never been found
within its limits.
And yet the Herald's remarks suggest
that it is one of the foremost and most
persistent champions of the most power
full, the greatest, and to the masses
most hurtful Of all the combines We
refer to the single gold standard combine.
Than this no combine has operated more
against the interests of the agricultural
classes, and consequently been a greater
bar to agricultural development. The
Herald's general economic philosophy, and
its special financial tenets don't eo-ordi-
nate.

THE RAILROAD A SURE THING
SAYS CAPTAIN FRANK YORK
Both Government and Opposition
Promise It,

Capt. Frank York, of the Canadian
Development Co. arrived from Victoria
this week. and went through to Glenora
on the Monte Cristo, where he will put
in his best ticks in the interest of Cap
tain John Irving, the government cam
didate in Cassiar. TO a representative
of the JOURNAL Captain York stated.
chat he had every assurance from Pre-
micr Turner, that if the present gov
eminent is retained in power, the rail
road would surely be built from Glenora
to Teslin Lake at once, and as Captain
Frank has the interests of this route at
heart. he will undoubtedly use his pow
erful influence to accomplish the great
est good. The election of the two gov
eminent members for Cassiar would
give Mr.. Turner IL working ma ority.
and he could then go ahead and fulfill
the otl-repeatcd promises made to the
people of this country regarding the
building of a railway. The public now
has the assurance from both the gov
eminent, and the opposition, that If
successful. they would build Il railroad
to Teslin Lake. and it would seem that
we are soon to get the much needed re-
lief which we have longcd for.
