HIGHLAND AND MINERAL POINT
Are to be Joined by an Electric Rail
road, Connecting with Cobb, Linden
and Dodgeville.
A MUCH NEEDED WANT.
Will Enter Mineral Point by the Ridge
Road, Surveyed by the c. & N. w.

There is a movement on foot to
build an electric railway from this
city to Highland, connecting with
Dodgeyille, Linden and Cobb. The
promoters of the enterprise are capi-
talists from Chicago aud Freeport,
and they hope to commence opera
tons in the near future. 1t will be a
broad gauge road, thus permitting
the transportation of freight from
the connecting roads to the different
points along the electric line with
out reoading. The conveyance of
zinc ore to the oxide furnace in this
city is a primary object of the enter
prise.
Where the power house will be To-
Gated has not as yet been determined.
1t has been stated that sufficient
power can be furnished from the en-
gine at the pulp mill in this city TO
operate the road. Two trains will
probably be run daily, connecting
with the Northwestern and Illinois
Central at Dodgeyile and the Saint
Paul in this city.
Entrance into Mineral Point will
be made by the ridge road, surveyed
some years ago by the Northwestern
Company. A train of the proposed
road, it is said, will be capable of as
cending comparatively steep grade
with ease.
The promoters of this feasible
scheme We're expected here last week
to get some idea of the cost of the
right Of way, but other business pre-
vented them from doing so. They,
however, premise to be on hand at an
early date.

was hoodWinking the people.
He laughed again when he denounced
the gas company for paying the high
wages of $40 month to its employees
and then went forth arrayed in old
clothes and a SLOUGH hat to tell the
sons of toll how he loved them and
how much he had done for them.
He laughed again when he told the
people that there was not an honest
Democrat In either the Third, Fifth.
Seventh, Ninth or Tenth wards, and
sent his kid glove henchmen from the
aristocratic wards to make temporary
residence in those wards, in order that
he might not be compelled to sit in
council with anybody from the tabooed
wards.
He laughed again when he posed as
the exemplar of purity in politics, and
then Endorsed election frauds in five
wards Of the city.
He laughed again when he spent
thousands of dollars in his campaign
for Mayor two years ago, and then
swore that the total amount spent by
or for him during that campaign was
$3.50.
Phelan has had a good time laugh
Ing. but there Is an old and true say
ing that he laughs best who laughs
last and the time for the people to
laugh is at hand. To use another
homely expression, Phelan is laughing
on the other side of his mouth now. 1t
has ceased being funny and even the
brays of the subsidized Bulletin fall to
excite him to visibility.
He Is finding out that hypocrisy is
no laughing matter. Fraud is no
laughing matter. Deceit is no laugh
ing matter. Queer oaths are no laugh
ing matter.
There are a few things which The
Call asks James d. Phelan If he will
laugh at They are some of the mat
tiers for which he is indicted before the
bar of public opinion:
He and his friends for him spent
during the last campaign thousands Of
dollars-his managers say $40, 000-and
he swore that the total amount spent
by or for him during that campaign
was $3.50. and in this oath he specifical-
ly and generally covered every form of
possible expenditure.
He poses as the exponent of purity
and reform in politics, and he has in
dorsed election frauds on the part Of
his men, selected by him to represent
the Third, Fifth, Seventh, Ninth and
/ Tenth wards on the Board of Super
Visors.
He denounced the Governor for CONS
muting the sentence of Sternberg for
coloniZing one ward, and said that
Sternberg's sentence should be impris-
onment for life, and he has advised
and Endorsed similar colonization on the
part of his henchmen.
He poses as the friend of the work.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1898-10-23

There is a line in the published quar-
terIy report of Auditor Broderick which
is pregnant with meaning and carries
condemnation Of Mayor Phelan and his
methods of government.
1t has been supposed by the public
generally that the defalcatlon of A. G.
Widber, the defaulting City and COun-
ty Treasurer, had been covered Lack
into the treasury, but in the report Of
the Auditor appears, under the total
Of cash on hand" the significant line,
Less A. c. Widber deficiency account,
;16.134 81"
In other words. Phelans netting"
propensities cost the city the lump sum
of $16,134 81. The surety company
which was on Widber's bond paid out
100000, but the defalcation amounted
to $16,134 81 more than that.
The people of San Francisco are pay
ing Mayor Phelan $4,000 a year to look
after its affairs, and through his negli-
gence and dereliction of duty he has
cost the city in this one item almost
three times as much as the entire sal
airy for his whole term.
When the Mayor was on the rack Of
inquisition regarding this deficiency he
stated that he did not count the coli.
but that he "hefted" the bags. He tcoj,
II for granted that the bags contained
gold, and was so confident of his theft
irg" abilities that he believes his Dsv-
chometric touch could detect plugged
silver dollars, iron washers or anv other
old -hirg that Widber chose to put in
place Of tho abstracted gold
And he smiled as he said he 'hefted"
the bags.
He is much given to smiling over af-
fairs of grave import. He smiled when
Third, Fifth, Seventh. Ninth and Tenth
wards were advised by his committee
to violate the law, and he smiled again
when The Call exposed the methods of
this "holier than thou" candidate who
presumes to set himself up as the DO
Iitical criterion of the century. Some
times his smile broadens into a laugh.
This is when he IS especially pleased
with himself and his subsidized organ,
the Bulletin, said he laughed at the
charge of colonization.
He probably laughed when he wrote
that fierce diatribe on the Governor for
committing the sentence Of Louis
Sternberg, who colonized a Senatorial
district. Laughed at his own conceit
and at the easy manner in which he

people had their opportunity to. greet
Henry T. Gage, the standard-bearer of
the Republican party, to-day, and the
large crowd of men, women and children
who gathered at the depot to cheer the
distinguished gentleman gave him re-
ception the warmth Of which was unmis-
taxable. Mr.. Gage was on his way to
Redding, where he speaks tonight, and
the twenty-minute stop made by the train
here gave our citizens an opportunity to
see and hear the Republican champion
AS the train rolled in the band played
national air, the great crowd cheered and
the Willows Gage and Neff Club gave its
startling war cry.
Mr. Gage thanked the people for their
warm greeting, regretted that he was I'M
able to deliver an address of any length,
and said he would be glad to shake each
person by the hand. An impromptu re-
ception followed and as the train depart
ed Mr.. Gage was cheered TO the echo,
while the band played Yankee Doodle. y
Aubrey Jones, Democratic nominee for
Congress, showed his sandlot instincts by
mounting a box and addressing the crowd
after Mr. Gage ceased speaking and en-
deavorng to injure the Republican can
didate by sarcastic references to the
shortness of Mr.. Cages address.
