Pacillc Railroads.
Since the Central and Union
Pacific roads were built fourteen
years ago, that route being the
only transcontinental onc,has been a
mint to its owners. Though the
rolling stock was poor, the accom
modations execrable, the fare ex
orbitant and the time made wretch
edly slow, yet it collected all the
' tolls of a traveling nation along
that line of travel. The original
owners of the Central Pacific have
built the Southern Pacific out of
the earnings of the former, and
are now preparing to withdraw
from control oi the old route and
turn it over to the government for
mortgages thereon at the precise
moment when the property be
comes comparatively worthless.
rhe country through which the
greater portion ot the C. P. R. R.
runs 3'ields no local traffic revenue.
San Francisco and Sacramento
(which are in reality California)
can go b- the "sunset route." The
Union Pacific has already .made
arrangements with the N. P. R.
R. Co. for its transfer, and the
completion of the latter road will
in addition to its regular business
draw off a large quantity of pat
ronage which has been hitherto
given unwillingly, to the "Big
Four"" of San Francisco.
A 'cw Tarty.
A new party is forming. Its
headquarters are in Chicago. The
first meeting or conferrence will
be held on the 4th of next July.
The platform of the new organiza
tion declares opposition to all
monopolies, transportation, tele
graph, money, land, light, water, in
vention,or others of a public nature;
it demands that the government
control and own the railroad and
telegraph lines, that the patented
inventions of great utility be
purchased by the government and
sold for the common benefit; it
declares against the surrender of
governmental power to corpora
tions, especially to banks of issue,
and demands national legislation
to regulate the rate of interest,
also to establish postal and savings
banks, and for the issuance by the
government of money to be a full
legal tender; it also demands
legislation to punish people who
put up "corners' in articles
of food and to punish those who
adulterate victuals and drink.
The fifth and sixth planks of the
platform, to which all members are
required to subscribe, are as fol fel fol
eows: Filth We demand the passage
of laws which shall prohibit the
immigration to the United States
of all servile and pauper labor and
criminals, and which shall secure
all the rights of citizen labor,
equal rights, privileges, and repre
sentation for all citizens, and
special privileges for none; laws
which shall guarantee to every
individual citizen the greatest
personal liberty consistent with
the rights of others, and the re
peal of all unjust and oppressive
laws.
Sixth We demand the mainten
ance of a common school system,
with free, unsectariati education
and free books for all; a jut
system of taxation and revenue,
and a reduction in the cost of
government; the overflow of cor
ruption in public service, m repre
sentative bodies and at the polls,
and of the rule of party "bosses,"
and the establishment of "a gov
ernment of the people, by the peo
ple, for the people."
A petition is now in circulation
to call a conference, signed by
men in all parts of the country.
In California it is in charge of a
committee of the central club.
The undersigned joined in a call
for a national delegate conference
which will be held in Chicago, on
the 4th day of July, 1SS3, for the
purpose of organizing a new polit
ical party to espouse the cause of
legitimate industry in the irre
pressible conflict already entered
upon between the confederate
monopolies and the people.
All who favor the restriction of
the power of corporations, the
holding of the nublic lands for ac
tual settlers, the suppression of
oi gambling in the necessities of
life, and of combinations which fix
prices against the natural laws of
trade, the destruction of legal
rights in vested wrongs, and the
overflow of all monopolies and of
all systems and laws made in the
interest of the lew against the
many; all who oppose the control
of the currency by banks of issue
and the taxation of all industry for
the benefit of favored enterprises
under the guise of a protective tar
iff; all who favor the election of
the President, Vice President and
United States Senators, by a direct
Toteofthe people; S. ..l.u favor
simple and just government, as
against that which is complex and
corrupt, are invited to choose dele
gates to represent them in the con
ference, the basis of representation
being four delegates for the Dis
trict of Columbia, four for each
Territory, and four for each con
gressional district in the United
States.
Be'ievingthata crisis, forced by
the powe- of organized greed, is
rpproaching, not alone in our na
tional affairs, but in civilization
itself, we appeal to the freemen of
of America so organize themselves
anew to stand again, as they and
their fathers have stood before, for
the rights of man and the dignity
of human nature.
The Sun thinks that whether
the Panama or the Nicaragua
canal first reaches completion, the
grain trade of the Pacific States
will evidently be a great gainer,
and will show an instant and enor
mous increase. These states al
ready send between ono million
and two millions of tons of cereals
to Europe, the annual export
somewhat varying with the crop
and the demand. It is carried
around Cape Horn in sailing ships,
a distance of between thirteen
thousand and fourteen thousand
miles. This route will be halved
by the Isthmus transit. In other
words, the time will be shortened
by a half, the wages and the main
tenance of the crew by a half, and
the risks by a half. Even with
the added canal tolls the trans
portation of the grain must cost
from a half to a third less than
now. This must mean the saving
of many millions a year for the
-Pacific States by the time either
canal is finished, at the present
rate in the increase of grain ex
ports, it will probably mean the
saving of scores of millions. Yet
this is only one item in the pros
pective uses of an inter-oceanic
canal.
"With three transcontinental
railroads it reads singularly
enough that a party of of Indians
are devastating white settlements.
It is in Arizona, the only place
possible for such outrages, and by
Apaches, the only tribe now capa
ble, that these atrocities occur.
Cook was the only man that ever
appreciated the Apache. His
system was brief but effectual.
"When I go kill snakes I kill
snakes; when I go kill Apaches, I
kill Apaches."
Tin: grandest preparations are
being made for the coronation of
the czar. All of the "crowned
heads of Europe" will be presented,
and the continental insurance
agents are supposedly happy.
Tin: star route trial like a
wounded snake drags its slow
length along; the principal actors
in in it are liable to die of extreme
old age before any definite result
will be reached.
It is said that Seth Green, the
well-known fish culturist, is seri
ously ill at his home in Rochester,
N. Y., from a complication of
diseases.
Yamiiill county claims distinc
tion in the fact that it has three in
habitants whose weight aggregates
90S pounds.
Late rains give California an
assurance of at least a partial
crop.
