LOGIC Of RAILROAD .ABsoLUTlsM.


7 J HEN Mr. Huntington reaches tins State, II
"a he regards his railroad combination as the
local government, he should devise some plan
and promugate some new edict for the fulflment OF
those ordinary obligations which even. the Gar OF
Russia usually acknowledges. If the. unfortunate
farmers in. Monterey County, whose families were
temporarily reduced to desttution by drought, for
which they were not responsible had been allowed
to retain or had been returned small portion OF
the freight money they had paid the railroad, their
necessities would have been adequately relieved But
from that quarter no assistance beyond the grudged
use OF Jew cars for the transportation of provisions
was extended. These farmers belonged to the best
class of American citizens, and for the moment
in need of help through conditions that eXCep-
tona and it would have been affront them that
would have been justly resented if they had been
treated as objects of private charity However IL
logical the doctrines of socialism may be, there is
sound fraternal sentiment most completely realized
through American individuaism, that in such cases
as this, compes the fulflment even by governments
OF the royal law But the railroad acknowledges no
other rule than the right cut out its pound OF flesh
whenever it peases although dripping with Ameri-
can blood
In modern times Imperialism has improved and
obeys some humanitarian duties. Ii the railroad is the
state and entitled appropriate such proportion of
the profits OF industry it peases then least it
should make formal arrangements to perform its cor
relative obligations and should not cast them upon
other citizens who are chronic rebels against its
despotism and its exactons

FROM DISTANT MaINE.
Colonel John P. Irish and Mayor
Gleason Mixed Up.

The Hornet, a bright little paper pub
Hshed at Houlton, Me, tells the following
story about Colonel John P. Irish;
Mr.. John P. Irish, who made such
stirring speech at the Indianapolis con-
vention, has for several years been recog-
nized as one of the most eloquent orators
on fhe Pacific Coast. He is a resident Of
San Francisco, and is best known in the
West through his connection with the
Southern Pacific Railroad.
The day after he made his speech Mr..
Irish was a good deal of hero and was
much sought after by delegates who
wished to congratulate him. At the same
hotel where he was staying the Hon.
Patrick ]. Gleason, the renowned Celtic
Mayor of Long Island City, was guest.
AS the big-fisted Mayor was sitting in
the lobby a bellboy approached him and
asked
'.Are you Irish?''
81 am thot,'' replied Gleason; "but what
makes you ask, sonny?"
THAT man over there told me to-" re-
sponded the boy, pointing out stranger
Gleason was half inclined to be wrathy.
He was puzzled also, but he waited. Soon
after the stranger came up to him,
slapped him on the shoulder and re-
marked, THAT was a fine speech you
made yesterday, Irish"
Look here!" said Gleason, turning
fiercely on the stranger. I'm Irish and
I amt ashamed of it; but I'll be - if
III have any whiskered jay call me so to
'fWhy-er-ah," gasped the stranger, 81
thought you were Mr.. Irish Of San Fran
cisco. I-er-was told So
"Ohr said Gleason. Then there were
drinks.
Colonel Irish was born about .fifty-fve
years ago in Iowa City, Iowa, where he
lived until 1880 In that year he removed
to San Francisco and edited the Alta
California, which was for a long time the
leading newspaper on the PACING Coast.
He has had a varied political career, but
never met with much success, having
been successfully defeated as candidate
for the State Legislature, Congress and
Governor. He was appointed Naval
officer of San Francisco by President
Cleveland

SOME SALT LAKE ELOQUENCE.

u we journey through life. dizzied and half
I \ stunned by the uproar of a thousand dis
cordant noises, it is worth while to pause and
listen whenever the rhapsody OF fluent eloquence
rings out above the general din and offers to the
wearied mind something in the way of intellectual
inspiration.
A voice of that kind comes to us from Salt Lake
through the pages of our very much esteemed con-
temporary, the Tribune Answering the supposed
question of foreigner to how many States there
in the Union, the Tribune says:
"Forty-fve States and some Territories they fill all
the space between the two great oceans, and one
bugleca last summer in every one soldiers fell into
line the tread of the thousands was like the toing
Of the bells of destiny and the hashngs of their stan
dards reflected back the sunlight through oneeghth
OF the suns daily round. And they all speak one Ian
guage, all sing the same songs; all turn for inspira-
ton to the flag; and though each is separate
wave when blended they make but one ocean, and
when in full all the shores OF the nation are
shaken, for in majesty, in latent power, in unap-
proachabe splendor there is counterpart for them
in all the records OF the nations that have existed
since nations were first organized on earth
Considered to simple question in
political geography that passage deserves to take
rank among the highest ever penned and, moreover
it is all true, is the with genuine elo-
quence. When we have conquered Aguinaldo and
set about the work of educating the Filpinos they
should be compelled to commit that to memory as the
first lesson. 1t might be advisable to send COPY of
it to Kaiser William also There are several kinds of
instruction in it for several sorts of people, so it ought
to go the rounds and find place in every we'll rep-
lated scrapbook

BALLOT REFORM WISDOM.

I n the course OF an interview few days ago Sen
ator Stratton author OF the Stratton primary law
under whose supervision much OF the reform bal
lot legislation enacted by the late Legislature was
passed, made some remarks with reference to the
new Richard law which are worthy of reproduction.
The provision in the Rickard law" said Senator
Stratton, against placing the ballot the tickets
of independent conventions will not work in favor OF
the bosses if the good citizens go to the primaries
and secure control OF the regular conventions.
Whenever the bosses fail to get control OF conven-
ton they organize a rival Independent convention.
This has been done more than once in San Fran
cisco. They cannot run independent ticket on the
ballot now. The Rickard law may bring citizens out
for the primaries who would otherwise be negligent
Heretofore they have relied on independent move
ments, but they cannot do so any longer"
This is pure and unadulterated wisdom and it is re-
spectfuy recommended to the hysterca editor OF an
esteemed morning Democratic contemporary. Sen
ator Stratton's primary law, If it has any purpose
whatever is designed to give theopeople chance to
unhorse the bosses 1t provides for lawful primaries
at which every good citizen may for delegates to
his party convention For any to aliege that the
political bosses can capture conventions and foist upon
the people unrepresentative candidates when every
body goes to the primary ballot-boxes and votes is
to make statement calculated only to engage the
attention OF men who have to be confined in padded
cells.
The Rickard ballot law is the legitimate offspring
OF the Straton primary law. Senator Stratton says
he could not see this and he opposed its enactment
But with all due respect to him. we adhere to the
conclusion formerly expressed, that an alphabetical
system under the legal convention plan set UP by the
new primary law would be downright absurdity. L
the people to have legal conventions and lega
IL
lot for the party designation of legal convention
will possess significance which should not be OBJ
scured by piece clubs and so-called independent
movements.
1t is our opinion that if the Stratton primary law is
success the Rickard ballot law will be desideratuIn
the value of which can scarcely be overestimated
Otherwise, it may be otherwise.

Madrid, February 26.-An official
despatch from Manila says:
''The situation here is very serious.
The foreign warships are disembark-
ing troops. Gen. Rios will leave Ma
Mia and go to Zamboango, Island Of
Mindanao.
The government has received a long
dispatch from Gen. Rios at Manila but
refuses to impart it's contents.
FL impartial which asserts that it is
in position to know the truth of the
situation at Manila says:
There is constant fighting between
the Americans and the Tagalos. The
courage and stubborness of the latter
have caused great anxiety to the Amer
leans, who do not conceal their belief
that the war will be a long and des-
perate one. There is the greatest alarm
among foreigners in Manila and the
have decided to land forces to protect
their subjects"
Washington, February 26.-The gov
eminent officials here discredit the
statement in the above dispatch that
the foreign warships are disembarking
troops at Manila. Spanish sources oil
information respecting affairs in the
Philippine islands, they say, are not
to be relied upon, as the press and the
people of Spain do not hesitate to cir
culate statements inimical to the inter
ests of this country.

NATIVES MAKING TROUBLE


Manila, February &c. Noon.-Last
night the rebels concentrated in such
numbers near the Chinese cemetery
that Gen. Macarthur anticipated an
| attack and asked for reinforcements.
Two companies of the Twenty-third
regulars were sent to Caloocan and a
battalion of the Twentieth regulars to
the cemetery at about midnight But
the expected attack was not made. the
rebels, after making a great noise with
bugle calls and yells of Viva indie
pendencia" and "Mucho Malo Ameri-
canos' and firing volleys, disappeared
in the woods.
It is believed their leaders are get
ting desperate and are trying to force
the United States troops to make an
attack, in the hope of breaking through
the American lines, but the rebels are
evidently unwilling to be sacrificed
when facing the Americans. 1t is Just
possible, however, that they may be
goaded into such a move before more
achievements arrive.
All was quiet in the city last night.

and the American flag was raised by
them over the government building.

A battalion OF the Twenty-thfrd
regulars left for Cebu to-day by the

The same steamer brought dispatches
from Brig. General Miller at Iloilo to
Maj. General Otis. reporting that all
was quiet there. that there had been
no further fighting, that confidence
had been restored and business was
being generally resumed. Gen. Miller
thinks it probable that the natives
will soon be convinced Of the error OF
opposing the inevitable and that the
example set by the inhabitants of Ne
gros is having its effect among the
other islands. which, though not en-
tirely convinced, are in Gen. MiIIer,s
opinion open TO reason.
