BL CK MAILING THE
 SOUTHERN PACIFIC

From the Evening Post, March 21, 1S96.) After a week of silence under the charge that at one time it was in re- ceipt of 5000 per month from the treas ury of the Southern Pacific Company, the Examiner admits the main allegation. Goaded to this confession, it puts the very best face it can on the matter, but admits the receipt of this money, admits that 1t was discontinued before the ter imitation of the time it was to run, and publishes garbled correspondence between itself and the officers of the Southern Pacific Company which fully discloses the nature of the agreement
 It prints what purpOrtS to be a fac simile of a letter written by the advertis- ing manager of the Southern Pacific Com pany to c. M Palmer. it's business man ager, dated June 29, 1892 It pretends this letter to be a fac-simile but this is not in a strict sense true. The indorsement printed on the face "of this letter." signed by Charles F. Crocker, was placed there July 21, 1893.
 Let it be carefully noted that this was simply letter to c. M. Palmer from an officer of the Southern Pacific Company. declaring that that company would agree to engage space in a Worlds Fair edition of the Examiner, for which it would pay S3OOOO. payable at the rate of 5000 per month. and then occurs this significant statement:
 "and all in accordance with an agree ment entered into between the Exam finer management and c. F. Crocker, A. N. Towne and William H. Mills, on behalf of the Southern Pacific Company"
 What the Examiner puts forth is let ter in which an agreement is referred to- but which of itself is not an agreement There is nothing on the face of it to show that 1t was an agreement It is signed by but one party, and. in fact. there is no pretenSe that 1t was an agreement except that when the Examiner desired to hy- pothecate it, caused the vice-president of the company to declare on it's face that it would be paid (according to the terms thereof.
 According to the terms thereof, this let ter declared that what the Southern Pa cific Company would do would be done in accordance with an agreement entered into between the Examiner management and the officers of the Southern Pacific Company.
 The question arises. What was that agreement? It is perfectly clear that be- hind this letter there was an agreement since 1t Is distinctly referred to- and since the letter itself was not an agreement.
 Here is that agreement, which the letter Of w. H. Mills to the Examiner says was entered into between the management of the paper and the Southern Pacific Com pany, and which the Examiner accepted and under which MT. Murphy of the First National Bank looked to the railroad for payment of the money advanced to the Examiner:

 Under what evil star this parasite was born, what influence marked him to fill the role of braggart, law-breaker, to be thing despised and summed, a pervert, may never be known. That he is all of these, and that he revels in his deeps of degradation is enough.

the vagucness of the explanations All the
