RAILROAD OFFICIALS
 ON DELEGATES TRAIN
Many of the old-Time "Push" Thought the Company Was
 Again Doing Politics.

1 CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- l MENTO, Aug. 21.-The friends of all the ] Republican aspirants for the Governor | ship who happened to be aboard the cen-
 tral overland train bound from San Fran CISCO to this city last night, were aston ished to see the palatial private car | Francisco" belonging to the officers Of the Southern Pacific, attached to the train. The political strikers fancied for time that the good old days were to come 1 again-that the railroad was to go into politics once more and make life worth
 Inquiry was instituted to ascertain the meaning of the attachment and the fact
 was brought to light that w. G. Curtis, engineer of maintenance and way, was the only high-grade occupant of the pal ace on wheels. and that he had no sack nor programme aboard. The old forms of the corporation it seems still survive. Mir Curtis is en route to Ogden to meet and greet the newly appointed United States Commissioner of Railways, the il- lustrious General Longstreet. By some process of official dispensation the honors and responsibilities of United States Commissioners are bestowed on celebrat- ed generals who served in the Confeder- ate army.
 These gallant old soldiers are affable and confiding. General Longstreets pre- decessor in the office of the commission was that illustrious South Carolinan Gen eral Wade Hampton. His trips to Cali fornia were delightful excursions, and he must recOlleCt With delight the lndny happy hours he passed in the private pal ace cars of the Southern Pacific, with MT, Curtis as the host. The monotony of con- tinental travel was relieved by fishing ex7 cursions among mountain streams.
 At San Francisco entertainments were provided ne beautiful red room of the Bohemian Club was decorated to the owls taste. Whenever Curtis gave banquet to General Hampton the rarest of wines, the choicest of blossoms and the sweetest of music made the feast enchanting.

 be put up for General Longstreet's enter tainment. The fishing in the mountain in streams is still good the dinners of the Bohemian Club have not deteriorated, and Curtis abilities as host have not been dulled by service of the corporation. The excursion of MT. Curtis has no political significance in a California campaign. To General Longstreet of Georgia It may con- vey a lesson.

The Way to Prosperity.

A few days ago we published a letter
from Latham, Alexander & Co., cotton
commission merchants of New York in
which 1t was made clear that a cotton crop
that does not come quite up to the worlds
demands bring much more profit to the
cotton growers than a crop that is consid-
erably beyond the worlds wants. While it
is true that the consumption of cotton is
greater when the price of it is low than
when it is high, still. when the price falls
below the profit line. the growers have
nothing to spend, and all kinds of Indus
tries which depend upon them, partly or
wholly, for support suffer 1t is much bet
ter for all concerned, therefore, that the
cotton growers should receive a fair price
for their cotton. But. in order to get a liv-
ing price, they must not overburden the
cotton market.
In 1894, a crop of 7549617 bales sold for
$292, S99, while the large crop of 1S94-95
amounting to 9,901,251 bales, brought only
$2SS, 5O4. more than $4,000 900 less. Similar
Illustrations could be easily given of the
folly of producing more than can be sold
at price which yields a profit.
Why it is that cotton growers will give
so much attention to cotton and so little to
other crops, such as wheat, oats. hay,
fruits, and the various kinds of vegetables
which they need for their families is a
question that is difficult to answer. They
pay high prices at the country stores for
articles of food WHICH they could produce
at home at a great deal less cost. If they
would reduce the cotton acreage one-third
and give some attention to food crops,
fruits, dairy products, hogs. poultry, ETC..
they would get from s cents to 10 cents a
| pound for their cotton instead of five, and
they would have to buy very little for the
support of their families and stock. and,
hence. would be on the way to prosperity.
1t seems, however, as IL they We're deter
mined not to accept advice, but to find out
the way to prosperity by bitter experience.

charge of the chair next to his and moved
nearer the razor case. The man rolled
and pulled his trousers leg above his

the shop was watching him with intense

Fusion of the silver Forces.

Preparations for the campaign of 1900
ore being made. The leading silver men
in Washington have had conference, and
arranged their programme. Their purpose
is to effect a fusion of the Democrats, Pop
ulists and silver Republicans in oil the
states for the election of Congressman and
members of the legislature next fall and
for the election of a President in 1900.
At the conference it was decided to he
gin work at once by organizing political
clubs and sending out silver literature. An
understanding has been reached in respect
to nominations for Congress and members
the Democrats are the strongest, Demo-
Gratis viii be nominated, and Populists will
be nominated in districts in which they
outnumber the Democrats and silver Re-
publicans. The silver Republicans will get
such nominations as they are entitled to
under the arrangement.
It is probable that this fusion movement
can be made successful because of the
strong desire among the silverites for an
other effort in behalf of silver. Still, it
must be admitted that it will require good
management to bring the Democrats and
Populists together The hostility between
them is very great, especially between the
Democrats and middle-of- the-road Popu-
lists The latter met In St. Louis recently
and decided to form a new party, to be
called the Peoples party. They have as
little use for Democrats as they have for
Republicans. Indeed, it is probable that
most of them would rather see the Re-
publican party triumph than lend a help
ing hand to the Democrats. But they may
be brought to see the advantages of COM
plete fusion of all the silver forces. AS
for the silver Republicans. they are willing
to accept the crumbs which may be
thrown to them. As political organiza-
ton they amount to nothing practically.
The few votes they have, however might
be of service in close Congressional dis
tricts.
The campaign of 1900 is a long way off,
and no one can predict with any degree of
certainty what the political situation will
be when that. campaign opens in earnest.
The Congressional campaign is close at
hand however and if the silver forces
could wrest the control of the House from
the Republicans they would stand on ex-
cellent chance for electing the Presi-
dent in 1900. In view of the fact that the
silverites have begun their campaign so
early, it is safe to predict that there will
be no serious attempt to reform the cur
rency until after the next Presidential
election
