one of those valuable compendiums
of valuable information that every
one needs who wants to keep well
informed. The tenth annual issue
contains over 800 pages and is the

York. The war in Cuba and the
Gr9co- Turkish war are reviewed, the
Dingley tariff bill is given in txtenso,
and in addition there are the usual
variety OF statistics on finance, trade,
agriculture. coinage, banking, pro-
duction of the precious metals, public
revenue, population, colleges, educa.
ton, prominent societies, railroads,
telegraph and telephone companies,
public debt and expenditures, fires,
and other important matters. The
most important of recent laws by
congress and the state legislature fill
many pages. The book can be

hundreds of carts have been carrying
off the snow from the streets, so II a
rain storm ensues we should not
suffer from freshets, fortunately the
warm sun is taking it off gradually.
Many were surprised and startled
by the railroad accident last week
when it was reported that 70 per-
sons were more or less injured, but
nothing has thrilled people through
and through like the disastrous fire
of Saturday morning on Merrimac
street in Boston when nre-chiet

lives. Chief Egan has seemed to bear
a charmed life for he has passed
through so many fire. breadth escapes
in some of the worst fires. He acted
in fearless manner when fighting
the worst fires and was general
favorlte. His narrow escapes are
more thrilling than many novels Tor
they were true to life. The grief OF
his horse "Grover" is touching.
Many were the prayers for the
affl cted families and illusions to the

The Congressional Campaign.

Politics are already getting warm
in the second congressional district
and Judge Read OF Bellows Falls and
Frank Plumley of Mortified are both
in the field, while the friends OF Con-
gresham Grout propose to stay by
him till the finish and return him to
congress when the election time
comes round. And really just be-
cause other men want the office it is
no reason why Gen. Grout should be
turned down. He is one OF the most
useful men in the New England dele
cation, perfectly conversant with all
forms of legislation, and the longer
he is kept in congress the more valu-
able he is to Vermont. There is no
necessity OF change this year and
there will be no change made.

Correspondence of the CALIFORNIAN
No longer can Chicago be called
1.-THE White City," since the great
snow storm of last week. Not only
was every available open space Of
park, field or lot piled high with
snow but the damp heavy snow en-
veloped trees, bushes, fences, sifted
into blinds, doors and windows Of
houses, giving them snow-clad ap-
pearance rarely seen in this section.
The depth of snow and wintry land
scape reminded one of Northern Yer
mont. AS soon as the roads were
passable young people and old i'm
proved the opportunity for merry
sleighrides and there were numerous
fine turnouts TO be seen on the New
ton roads and boulevard. The city
authorities have worked night and
day to remove the great amount OF
snow from the Boston streets and
1000 men found it lively work to
open up the streets for the electric
cars. We have been treated to rail-
road disasters and fires but it is very
remarkable that so few lost their
lives from "live wires" after the biz.
card, when so many wires were
broken and fallen in such confused
mass in our streets. This shows

last annual report the receipts OF the
Lake road fell far below the expenses
and the directors were forced to do
what every business firm has to do
in such a case-reduce their expenses.
There ire no large towns along the
line of the road to swell the passen-
ger receipts and some very heavy
grades to swell the operating ex
penses. The passenger receipts do
not begin to pay the running ex-
penses of two passenger trains day
and so one has been taken off and a
mixed train substituted.
This complaint comes with poor
grace from Morrisville and Hyde
Park, who get almost as good SER
vice as before. The mixed train
which leaves here at GAO a. m. runs
from Walden heights to Cambridge
Junction as a passenger train and
coming east does not reach Morris
vile and Hyde Park much later than
when it was passenger traiu. The
railroad makes a further concession
to the public by allowing men to
ride on any of the way freight trains,
a ruling that is much appreciated by
the travelling men.
No one regrets more than the di-
rectors who decided to make the
change that the passenger service
had to be curtailed, but the Lake
road has to be run on a business
basis, and if there is a steady loss in
both passenger and freight receipts
there must be curtai!ment in the
operating expenses. Pee Die who
recall the days of the old regime can
hardly complain of the service given
them under the management OF the
Boston & Maine.

The Loud Bill.

Congressman Loud of California
believes that his bill to increase the
receipts OF the post office department
will pass congress and save the de.
partment $1O,000,000 annually.
The bill relates to second-class mat
ter only and would stop the abuse
of sample copies" and also prevent
books being sent through the mail
under the thin guise of being entitled
to newspaper rates.
The estimated revenue from second
class matter last year was So, 000.-
900; it costs 500. 100000 to trans
port it. If the bill increases the rate
of postage on regular publications it
will operate as hardship on the
country weekly. but the purpose of
the bill is commendable. The post
office department ought to be self
sustaining.

Our Washington Letter.
The Senate Silver Bill.

Editor CALIFORNIAN:
The first steps, taken this year, to
put the country upon bimetalic
basis independent of other nations
were taken in the senate last week.
The democratic managers were
shrewd in putting forward the So
called Teller resolution at this time.
They know perfectly well it cannot
progress further in this congress.
They also know if it became law it
would have no effect for good or evil
except from the agita ton set agoing,
until bonds become due six and nine
years from this time. Its object is
easily seen. 1t is to aid the friends of
silver to win the elections this year
and to steer the country toward a
recognition of silver aid the election
OF silver candidate for the presi-
densy in 1900. The game was bound
to be played, and the country may
as well accept the issue now as later.
1t is silver miners conspiracy which
is certain to keep the country afame
for some years yet. The campaign
of education is not yet come to fin
ish; and the people who recognize an
economic reason why gold has come
TO be the standard of value the civil
lied world over, and not from any
conspiracy of the money power,
must look alive and meet the issue
like men, or the country will 60 to
the silver basis sooner than they will
like.
But no such fate is likely to befall
US. The friends of sound money will
rally to the rescue, and the only pos
sible bimetalic basis, international
agreement, will be eloquently and
persistently urged.
Your correspondent was privileged
to hear the senate debate on three of
the four days the Teller resolution
was before it. In that time thirty.
FIVE different senator's, in speeches
from ten minutes to two hours in
length, gave the reasons which moved
them to vote for or against the pro.
posed legislation. Earnest debate it
was indeed, and in some cases orator
ical talent was well defined. 1t is
noticeable that the supporters of the
resolution emphasized the strict let
ter of the bond; that gold had ap-
preciated two told in value and for
that reason bonds ought to be pay.
