San Francisco, since the disaster of

self government and orderly regula-

their ability TO restore and maintain
order, to ystematize the work Of re-

struction. But the most noteworthy of
all the admirable features of the sit
uatiou has been the absence Of crime
This is ascribed by the authorities
and the newspapers to the fact that
for the first time in its history the
city has been without an open saloon
All drinking places were closed on the
day of the calamity. According to the
Chronicle, San Francisco "has been

NAIL UP THE HOLE.

A letter appeared in The New

rated the following interesting
incident;
I took my little boy on my
knee and told him the story of
the lost lamb; how it found a
hole in the fence and crawled
through. how glad it was to get
away, how it skipped and play
ed in the sunshine, until j t
wandered so far it could not find
its way back.
And then | told him how the
wolf chased it, and how finally
the good shepherd rescued it and
carried it back to the fold. The
little fellow did not say a word
until got to that part Of the
story where the shepherd had
carried the lamb, all wounded
and bleeding, back to the fold

drops this doctrine, he will lose
his last chance Of showing his

His declarations on that question

THE RAILROADS.

Last week we showed how the
railroads are charging and col
lecting from the people the
enormous sum of six thous and
dollarse each and every year
for each mile of railroad
on the two items of interest on
their bonds and interest on their
stocks.
Hard as this is to pay; heavy
as this may seem, it is one of the
least of the evils Of corporation
ownership and eontrole of rail
roads.
The railroads with their vast
wealth and influence, obtained
from the special privilege gran
ted to them Of exercising the pre-
negative of sovereignty, go into
politics where they deem it ne
cessary to advance the interest
of the corporation. As MIR Gould
once said Inrepublican districts,
| an republican; in a demo
cratic district. am a democrat;
in doubtful districts | am doubt
full; but | am always an ERIE
man.
The railroads have no politics.
They are for the railroads, and
therefore they are always for the
party that will favor the rail
roads.
The old political parties have
no surplus of conviction OF
principle, their chief doctrine
consisting of the five Ioayes and
two fishes, they are necessarily
prone to gladly make terms with
the railroads of giving them
special favors in exchange
for campaign Doodle "a d 4

HONEST TOLL.

The late Patrick A. Collins,
who was mayor of Boston, once
told a committee Of women about
a missionary campaign that de
veloped an amusing situation.
In this movement every partl-
cipate was to contribute a dollar
that she had herself earned by
hard work. The night of the
collection of the dollaas came.
and various and droll were the
stories of earning the money.
One woman had shampooed hair,
another had baked doughnuts,
another had secured newspaper
subscriptions, and so on. The
chairman turned to a handsome
woman in the front row.

Stallard makes wreaths. crosses and

Special to Times Republican.

Webster City, May 31-A movement
has been started among the G.. A. K,
in this part of Iowa. to get recognition
for the Northern Border Brigade,
which served in northern Iowa during
the late sos, guarding the inhabitants
from the attacks of the Indians. The
men who served in this brigade have
never been recognized by the govern
ment. and cannot draw pensions Tor
the service rendered their country at
that time. This brigade went to the
Lake massacre in 1857, and for months
afterward patrolled large area in
northern Iowa. Comparatively few of
these men survive today. but many
of them have contracted various dis
eases because of their service and the
G. A h members believe they are
entitled to as much recognition as the
men who fought in the civil war. VIM
field Scott Post. G. A. r., of this city,
has taken the initiative In the matter
ana mas adopted a resolution ASKING
congress TO recognize the men of the
Northern Border brigade. 1t has been
forwarded to Congressman Conner,
asking that he take such steps as he
may to secure this recognition.
This resolution sets forth the facts
concerning this brigade and their SER
vice and gives most cogent reasons
why they should be recognized. The
troops which served in this brigade
were not mustered into the regular
service of the government. At that
time there were no regular troops to
spare for this service, and the volun-
teer brigade was made up of men
who rendered the same service as the
regular troops, altho they were not,
strictly speaking, government soldiers.
Nearly all the men who served in the
Northern Border Brigade came from
what is now the Tenth congressional
district of this state, and hence it is
considered fitting that Congressman
Conner, from this district, should start
the movement in congress toward the
recognition of these men.
