San Francisco, April 21.-For the first time in
it's history San Francisco has had its taste OF
martial law When darkness fell upon the
desolated city the inhabitants OF the houses that
were left standing groped about their homes
cooking their suppers on fires built in front OF
their houses The wind famed many of the
fires into bazes. and for a time il looked as If
new conflagrations would be started. Police
orders were issued that ali fires must be nut
out, and with the assistance of the soldiers the
building OF fires in front of houses was sum-
marily suppressed.
In all OF the homes left standing no lights
were allowed TO be burned In places where
persons had lights contrary to orders citizens
forced the occupants TO extinguish them. The
only exception was in the of the hospitals
Soldiers patrolled the streets, and no citizen
allowed TO pass from one block to another

Many a man fools away his peace of
mind, his happiness and his home com
forts trying to patch up an old, WORKOUT
house, and enters an early grave
wrecked and broken-physically and
financially-because he did o have
the foresight to throw away the old
trap and construct a new and modern
house at the time the first necessity
for Improvement came. Every time an
improvement is made, something of the
old work must be torn out and re
paired. causing added expense and nc
end of annoyance. Laramie now has
an opportunity t. put in water works
that will be a credit to the city and of
sufficient capacity to supply our needs
for ut least a quarter of a century. 1t
would be a short-sighted policy indeed
to attempt to add to our present crazy
quilt of shreds and patches. And then
there is the further drawback to be
reckoued with, Laramie as a city has
no interest in the present system and
would therefore have no authority to
interfere with the present water pipes,
unless through purchase or condemna-
ton proceedings. The best is entirely
the cheapest in matters of this kind.

JAPAN AND THE RAILROADS.

According to dispatches from Japan,
it is the purpose of the government to
nationalize the railroads, issuing long
time bonds to pay the stockholders for
their property. This is a matter in
which the people of America are deep,
ly interested and the plan will there,
fore be of interest to the readers OF
The Republican.
Under the plan favored by the gov
eminent, the state purchases all pri-
vate railways at a fixed rate-namely.
twenty times the average profits Of
the three years preceding the war, the
treasury paying by means Of 3 per cent
bonds, which the companies are to di-
vide among the shareholders. The OBJ
lection has been urged that his looks
p~eriiously like the public c%onhscation
OF private property, but the counter
claim is made that the greatest care
will be exercised TO carry out the meas
ures slowly and prudently in order to
avoid affecting the markets. A spec
ial count will be created and all net
revenues from the railways will be ap-
piled in payment of interest and amor
tization charges, whereby the total
mount of the bonds will be redeemed
within forty-tfve years. After the bonds
have been redeemed the aDuual reve-
nue. aceruing to the state, it has beer
estimated, will reach S~27,56J,OOO. 1t is
generally asserted in the japanese
newspapers that this plan was suggest,
ed by a great foreign capitalist, Mr..
Hartman, who has offered substantial
assistance and advice.
Among the shareholders of some OF
the privately owned railroads there is
considerable bitterness of feeling be-

THE OWNERS OF THIS COUNTRY.

Two German socialists went to Rus
sia and visited Tolstoi to obtain his
views upon the doctrines they were
preaching. He answered: you social
lists want everything to come to you at
once. You have squeezed yourselves
into the towns and crowded the fac
tories to overlooking, and then out Of
the fog of agitation you have created
you think you can revolutionize the
whole scheme Of life.
He rebuked the socialists Of this
country even more strongly than the
men whom he addressed when he
made this answer We are told by ag-
itators of this school that the wealth
of the United States is in the hands
of a few, and that while the rich are
becoming richer the poor are sinking
deeper and deeper into poverty. They
have crowded into the cities. They
have raised a fog of agitation through
which they see the condition Of the
people. What they md or imagine
they find in the slums of New York
and Chicago they pretend to believe is
characteristic OF the whole country.
AgitatoIs of rhis class forget the
farmers of the United States, the four
million men filling the soil which they
themselves own, and the two million
working land on shares The property
these farmers own is valued at $40,
GOO, 900, 600. and the annual product is
estimated at more than $4,000, 600, 900,
The socialists overlook the small
stockholders in railroad and other cor
porations. Even the Standard Oil
shares are divided among 10000 own
ers; and it is reported that last year
1000 employees of the United States
Steel corporation bought shares of that
company at par. The stock of every
railroad is distributed among thou
sands of people, and it is said that the
recent depreciation in the value of
traction securities in Chicago will af-
feet so large a number of small owners
that its influence will be felt in schools,
churches, places of amusement, stores
of every sort and every line of indus
try in the vicinity of that city.
In this wide distribution of wealth,
in the fact that in every part of the
country tens of thousands of working
men own their homes, one finds a di-
rect contradiction to the assertions of
socialists ~agitators. Tolstoi's rebuke
was needed by the German socialists
who visited him. There is a hundred
times more occasion for it in the Unit
ed States-Denver Republican.

Laramie's greatest drawback during
all its years has been the lack of unity
among its leading men. When one
man proposes n thing, it appears to be
the keen desire of a nuIhber OF others
to see how hard they can knock it.
Every argument they can make is
brought forth and every kick they can
give the proposition is performed with
a great deal OF satisfaction. The re-
suit is that few men care to propose
anything Of a public nature. To be
criticised and reviled for something
calculated only for the general good is
exceedingly unpleasant. At the pres
ent time public meetings for the bene-
fit of the city are attended by very few
of our leading financial men. They pre-
fer TO lend their money on ~gilt-edged
securities and trust to luck for the fu-
ture of their city. Those who go too
often knock any proposition for the
general welfare instead of using their
utmost endeavors toward perfecting
them and aiding in their consumma-
ton. 1t is a habit We ought to get over.
A pull all together will accomplish
much.

Although Colonel Bell has been de-
voting his own time and money to the
development of his Little Laramie
properties, he has found many to throw
cold water on his enterprises. Many
of the knocks have come from men
who would derive q direct financial
benefit from any success made by Col
onel Bell. This is a peculiar world
filed with peculiar people. But the
workers are so busy they have little
time even TO stop and knock the
knocker.
