WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY... JUNE 9, 1883 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. The order of the new Postmaster-General requiring postmasters of the first and second class to give their personal attention to their offices, on pain of dismissal, recalls the story of a newly-appointed Government clerk who was found dawdling at his desk, and who, upon being remonstrated with for his idleness, exclaimed: "I had to work hard enough to get this position, and now I think I am entitled to enjoy myself." Illinois has a law for minority stockholder representation, and its workings are unsatisfactory. The statute declares that in all elections for directors of incorporated companies every stockholder shall have a right to vote for as many persons as there are directors to be elected, or to give one candidate as many votes as the number of directors multimped by the number of his shares of stock shall equal, or to distribute them on the same principle among as many candidates as he shall think fit. Many Illinois corporations are formed under Michigan and other State laws purposely to avoid coming under this provision. The law of California in respect to cumulative voting is the same as the Illinois law, and has been since the adoption of the Constitution under which this State is now governed. We have not yet heard of any great dissatisfaction at the statute. Two cases are reported from Missouri in which men have been poisoned by the bite of young women. In one instance a young gentleman at Cape Girardeau died from the effects of a playful bite on the thumb, inflicted by a lady friend; while at St. Joseph a man who was similarly poisoned had a very badly swollen arm, but it is not recorded that he died. From the frequency of these accidents we judge that biting as an THE ANTI-RAILROAD MEETING. The anti-monopoly meeting at San Jose was called at the wrong time. Politics are quiescent now; prospective candidates, not yet knowing which way the feline will jump, are loth to take an active part in any public question, and a meeting such as was called at San Jose must necessarily rely for a large attendance upon those who, directly or indirectly, look to politics for a livelihood. For the people, the brawn and sinew of the country—the great middle class, so to speak—cannot afford to leave their work and spend their money in attending such a meeting, no matter how heartily they may favor its aims and purposes. Holding these views, we cannot believe that the sparse attendance can be construed into any endorsement of the railroad company or its methods. It is probably guilty of every act of omission and commission charged by Naglee in his formitable arrangement, and there is as much real discontent with the corporation to-day as at any period in years past. But an apathy, born of repeated failures to curb the monopoly, has seized upon the people, and they are not as prone as they once were to lift up their voices in protest. Since the practical elimination of the Chinese question from politics on this coast, the railroad question is the only convenient topic which politicians can dilate upon. The more demagoguery a candidate can utter on the stump upon this question, the greater his chance of being selected. Look, for instance, at the men sent to the Legislature from this county for years past. How many of them were fit for the position of lawmakers? Is it not a fact that all considerations of ability were ignored, and that they were voted for because they were thought to be solid on the railroad question? As in this county, so in the other counties of the State; and the result has been, that whatever anti-railroad legislation has been had has proven no avail, has given no relief.

Two cases are reported from Missouri in which men have been poisoned by the bite of young women. In one instance a young gentleman at Cape Girardeau died from the effects of a playful bite on the thumb, inflicted by a lady friend; while at St. Joseph a man who was similarly poisoned had a very badly swollen arm, but it is not recorded that he died. From the frequency of these accidents we judge that biting as an amusement more generally in vogue among good society in Missouri than in other parts of the country, and this belief is justified by the fact that the St. Louis Republican thinks the only remedy is to compel women to wear muzzles. Luckily, hydrophobia is unknown in California, and no such protection is needed here. However poisonous may be the bite of a Missouri girl, that of the California girl is perfectly harmless—unless she set her teeth in too deep. The corner stone of the Industrial Exposition building at Capitol Park, Sacramento, was laid on Wednesday by the Grand Lodge of Masons. Pursuant to a time-honored custom a large number of articles were deposited in the stone before it was sealed. Among the articles as deposited was: Shoe worn by President Finnigan's trotting stallion "Santa Claus," when he made his record of 2:18 as a five-year old. After time or the elements shall have done their work, and the building shall have been razed, and the corner stone opened with all the solemnity befitting such an occasion, the assembled multitude will doubtless howl derisively when Mr. Finnigan's horse-shoe is held up to view. The generation then extant may well question the good taste of the people who degrailed a time honored custom by permitting such an article to be placed in a stone bequeathed to posterity. The City and County of San Francisco brought suit in the Superior Court against the Central Pacific Railroad to recover the taxes levied on the Bay freight steamers, thoroughfare and transit, and judgment was rendered in favor of the city for $1,039. The company appealed, on the ground that the steamers had been assessed by the State Board of Equalization as included in the franchise of the railway, roadled and rolling stock. The Supreme Court has affirmed the judgment, holding that the roadway and roadbed do not include steamers. California Fruit in Chicago. Chicago, June 1st. — The Tribune says, California oranges are retailed in Chicago at from 75 cents to $1 per dozen. The orange grower in Southern California, who finds it far more difficult to dispose of his crop than to grow it, considers himself most lucky if he obtains $1 per hundred for his fruit. The 1st of May of this year found him unable to more demagoguery a candidate can utter on the stamp upon this question, the greater his chance of being elected. Look, for instance, at the men sent to the Legislature from this county for years past. How many of them were fit for the position of lawmakers? Is it not a fact that all considerations of ability were ignored, and that they were voted for because they were thought to be solid on the railroad question? As in this county, so in the other counties of the State; and the result has been, that whatever anti-railroad legislation has been had has proven of no avail, has given no relief, simply because the few legislators who were sincere in their anti-railroad attitude had not the ability to formulate relief bills that would stand the test of legality, and the demagogues who rode into office on the antimonopoly wave, and who were bought up for a song as soon as elected, redeemed the pledges made to the people by introducing bills so radically unjust that they fell to the ground and came to naught by reason of their own transcendent foolishness. Every session of the legislature since the adoption of the present constitution has had submitted to its consideration hundreds of anti-railroad bills, many of which have been enacted into laws. And yet it is a fact that whatever concessions have been made by the railroad managers have been made voluntarily and because the changes were dictated by business reasons, and not because any of the so-called anti-railroad measures compelled them to make the modifications. The corporation is as unrestricted and unfettered by law at the present time as it ever has been. The only anti-railroad law which has yet been made to "stick" is the Railroad Commission, and the only inconvenience that body has been to the railroad company is the expense they have been to in buying the majority of the Board. Cone and Beerstecher, Carpenter and Humphreys, are either much maligned men or unmitigated racaels. Our own opinion is that they have not been maligned. It is alleged that Cone received a block of railroad land and Beerstecher a block of railroad money in consideration of their masterly activity as Commissioners. That their successors have been bought with a price there is no longer any reason to doubt. What an unenviable position they occupy in the public mind! How debased they must be in their own thoughts, if they have any lingering speck of manhood about them! Their offense is the most heinous that can be imagined. Placed in a position of high honor and great responsibility, they deliberately and for sordid reasons betray the people who honored them. While admitting that great wrongs exist, they refuse to exercise the power they have to abate them. Who can doubt that if Foote had a coadjutor on the Board there would have been some decisive action taken long before this? But he is as powerless as Stoneman was, and no relief need be expected from the Commission as at present constituted. Pablo suffered till next night. Four plowed by reason one man was injured.

At city of coagulate There is no know California Fruit in Chicago. Chicago, June 1st.—The Tribune says, California oranges are retailed in Chicago at from 75 cents to $1 per dozen. The orange grower in Southern California, who finds it far more difficult to dispose of his crop than to grow it, considers himself most lucky if he obtains $1 per hundred for his fruit. The 1st of May of this year found him unable to dispose of fully 50 per cent. of his crop at this price. The difference between the first cost and the retail price may seem startling and may lead the indignant housekeeper, hotel keeper or restaurant proprietor to place the whole blame therefor on the retailer. This would not be just to the retailer, who no doubt has sufficient better deserved blame to carry, nor is the wholesale dealer to blame. A great part of the responsibility attaches to the public carrier. The cost of transportation of oranges from the Pacific Coast to Chicago and the East almost eats up the value of the crop, and it is idle to look for cheap California oranges or cheap California fruit of any kind as long as the Pacific railroad monopoly is maintained. The freight rate on a car of oranges from Los Angeles to Chicago is about $225. Under the circumstances, it is not, perhaps, a matter of surprise that this healthful, wholesome, grateful fruit, which is so abundant on our Western coast and for which the grower hardly obtains the cost of gathering, should be at this side of the Rocky Mountains a luxury almost too expensive to be enjoyed by large classes of our people. Other fruits, greatly relished and most wholesome, are abundant in the orange region of California. Apricots, limes, peaches, English walnuts, almonds and lemons flourish, and grapes are even more plentiful than oranges. All these fruits are in good demand in the Eastern and Middle States and all over the country, but such is the embargo placed on the grower by railroad monopolists that the fruit farmers find themselves at the end of the season with a large quantity of their product on hand, unable to dispose of it. They are obliged to allow it to rot. The problem with the Southern California fruit grower—one, too, in which the Eastern fruit consumers may be supposed to have some interest—is how to get his crop over the Rocky Mountains at rates that will not be ruinous to him. Can nothing be done in the matter? Cannot the monopolists be made to abate their monopoly in the interest of the people? There is considerable inaccuracy in the above. The oranges which are now rotting under the trees in Southern California are of a quality which it would not pay to ship if the freight to Chicago was but $10 a carload. The project of calling an extra session of the State Legislature for the purpose of impeaching Commissioners Carpenter and Humphreys would be a commentable idea if any reliance could be placed on the Legislature. That body itself is not above suspicion. The recurrent Commissioners would find in it more excusers than accusers. There would be a wordy wrangle, a deadlock, an adjournment and the Commissioners would go on serenely as if nothing had happened. In this opinion we have the concurrence of Attorney-General Marshall who, at the San Jose meeting, said that "it is no use appealing to the Legislature." Mr. Marshall's remedy is to take the Commissioners and hang them. It is true, he did not say so in such a direct way, but after the manner of lawyers he clouded his meaning with many useless words. He is reported to have said: Now that the Commission has betrayed the people, the attempt is broached to appeal again to the Legislature. That was not his idea; that was not the way to deal with thieves, but being the Attorney-General, the law officer of the State, he ought of course to advise the rigid adherence to every legal means; "but," said Mr. Marshall, deftly flinging in his bombshell, "it seems to me that among all the people of the State there ought surely to be some way to bring the scamps to their senses. It is no use appealing to the Legislature," he continued, after the applause had subsided, "and as for the Courts—bah! let them alone. I cannot advise you what to do, but if an Attorney-General can hint it, I should say that there surely ought to be some general, some uniform movement of the State which would impress even upon the brass-bound hearts of the Central Pacific monopolists that there was danger in the air. Leave the Legislature and the Courts alone, especially the Courts, for when a suit is brought there it is straightway thrown into the United States Circuit Court, and over that there hangs the flavor of that historical and shameful dinner which was given to the Judges of that Court by these magnates. There is only one way to act, and that is to make some one afraid. A married woman fering from a strenuous sanity.

The Santa Barbara Independent thus describes the simoon which occurred during Mr. Hanna's stay: The excessive heat of yesterday was succeeded by even a period of greater heat and unpleasantness last evening. Between six and seven o'clock the wind began blowing quite a gale from the north, but was so warm as to be almost suffocating. Great clouds of dust and sand were borne along by the wind. Down over the mountains came the wind, heated as if from a great conflagration near by. All night long the heat continued. While the winds had subsided almost entirely by morning, yet the unpleasantness was more or less distressing. The oldest settlers say that never before was such a warmarght known. LONDON, June 5. It is rumored that the Invincibles have extensively used poison in removing obnoxious persons. The police are investigating a number of cases of suspicious deaths in the last few years, especially of a hotel-keeper named Jury of Dublin, who died a fortnight after the Phoenix Park murders. From disclosures made by informers the authorities do not doubt that Jury was poisoned. The reason alleged for the poisoning is that he madvertently opened a letter addressed to Tynan, who was staying at Jury's hotel. Jury discovered that the letter contained a direction in regard to a secret society. Fearing the vengeance of members of the society, Jury destroyed the letter. A waiter, however, informed Tynan that Jury had a letter for him. It is thought that Jury's removal was then decided upon. MARRIED.

The negotiations frequently mentioned between the Central and Union Pacific railroads regarding a reduction of running time between San Francisco and Council Bluffs have resulted in an agreement to establish a new schedule, shortening the time coming west nearly fourteen hours. On the Union Pacific the time is shortened nearly eleven hours, and the Central three hours. It is expected that the schedule will take effect July 1st, but as several matters of detail remain unsettled, the time of arrival and departure of through passenger trains is not known. While talking with two friends on the streets of Tombstone, Constable McDowell was shot in the back by George Ellis. A few days ago McDowell, acting as a constable, garnisheed some wages due Ellis at the Boston mill. Upon learning of it Ellis made threats against the officer, and these were carried to McDowell, who said he would kill Ellis if the latter crossed the bridge leading into Charleston. This was repeated to Ellis, who armed himself, with the result stated. Dr. Goodfellow, who attended McDowell, expresses little hope of his recovery. Ellis was arrested. In view of the recent complaints by the orange growers of Los Angeles of the high freight tariff, holding that it has prevented them from shipping their freight East, and that in consequence 100,000 boxes of the best oranges that California produces were rotting on the trees, the railroad company has reduced its charges from $350 to $250, and the margin in favor of the shipper has so stimulated exportation that the railroad has all at once thrust upon it a very heavy business in the transportation of oranges to Denver, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and other Eastern cities. Thousands of boxes are going forward, and the exportation is so great that they are said to be going almost by the trainload.—S. F. Call. Suicides of the Week. A. P.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 1st.—Colonel Buckner H. Payne, better known in the South as "Ariel," died in the Davidson county asylum for the poor last night, aged eighty-four. He was at one time considered the greatest logician in the South, and wrote a book, in which he argued that the negro was an inferior being, and that he had no soul. He was at one period in affluent circumstances, but was stricken with blindness. A year before Garfield was shot he predicted his assassination. He predicted smallpox in 1880 to occur over the country in 1883. At his request his remains were buried in a square box made of fresh pine lumber from the mills, and the top nailed down tight with nails. He requested that no screws be put in the box. WASHINGTON, June 5th.—The Guiteau case will never down for good. It has come into prominence again owing to the fact that P. J. Sheahy, one of the jurors, has gone crazy and has been sent to the St. Elizabeth Hospital for the Insane. The case is peculiarly pathetic in some points. It is reported that Sheahy believed Guiteau was insane and that the jury should have so found, but he had not the courage, in the face of the unanimity of the rest, to stand out and say so. He was also afraid, it seems, of what he knew was public clamor on the subject. Since Guiteau's execution, it is said, he has been continually haunted by his reflections upon the case and the conviction that he had voted to hang a lunatic, until his mind has given away under it. His insanity took a fierce and violent form, so that his family were afraid for their lives, and he has been placed in a cell at the asylum.
