During the past dny or two thuro has been
a Rreixt deal of tallc on the streets of Lincoln
rcffarJlntj the grievances of the street car
drivers , which were formally brought to the
uotloo of the city council , anil led to the ap
pointment of a committee of Investigation.
The management of the street car companies
represent that while the long hour men may
liaro some reason for complaint , the service
18 oquali/cd by the short hour system , ami
fhnnpcs are so made th.it , taking the two
icrvicos together , the employes have no good
rasou for complaint , and that because of
.liis . great Injustice has bcon done to the
niiip.iiilpH by UID uomplulnts. But the em-
iloves tulle dlfferontly. Two of thorn were
SI'LMI bv Tim Ur.r. representative to-day , and
vlu\v emphatically state that under the
I'hangus of the IOIIK and short hour service ,
us the companion call It , they have been coin-
polled to work from fourteen to sixteen
.lours per dny. The feollng grows us the in-
TittlKutlon develops that the street car
drivers have been subjected to labor pres
sures altogether unjust , considering their re
muneration. At this stage of the game it
certainly seem * that the street car compa
nies have not given the law creating the ton
Vmr system of work very defercntal treat-
jcnt. The boys bore the b.xttlo until pa-
.lunco ceased to bo a virtue , and then Hied
their lomonstrance where it will doubtless
do some good. The committee ; appointed to
inako the investigation nro looking into the
matter very carefully , and will shortly re
port their llnding of facts.

Captain J. 1C. Hill , during the course of a
short talk with Tim UKE man last night ,
said : " 1 have made a very careful canvass of
the political situation wherever I have boon
throughout the state and I must say that the
promise Is flattering for the most swooping
victory the republican party has ever ox-
perionced. Tno dlsaffectloiis reported in dif
ferent localities do not iixlst to any remark

E. S , Ueed and O. M. Druse nro the parties ,
and tney are both well known cltbons of the
sitv and in a way somewhat prominent.
.Jut their stories do not agree as to the cause
of their trouble. They nro as different o
lay is from night. It arose , however , over
some property rights. Mr. Druse called Mr.
Heed hard names , whereupon the hard name
was hurled back with interest , and Drusq
gathered a stone and struck Itecd two hard
blows with it , inflicting serious but not dan
gerous wounds , and the blood flowed freely.
The assault appeased Mr. Druse's wrath ,
tor ho cut a bad gash Just over Heed's right
: emple and raised an abrasion under one of
! us eyes , and vanquished his adversary.
Ortise Is the man who got into trouble with
Editor Ueed during the state fair , and Kced
is the South Eleventh street tailor , nearly if
not qulto sixty-flvo years of npco , while Druso
is not more than forty. It is quite generally
considered to have been a cowardly assault
on Druse's part.

members of the association put it that It will
be a titling time to celebrate the election of
Harrison and Morton. Others mildly in-

C1TT NRWh AND NOTB * .
Senator Manderson , of Omaha , dined at
the Capital hotel to-day. He Is on route

political issues of the day at that place last
night.
Colonel Joseph Elboeok , editor of the
Staats Anzoigor , Dos Moines , la. , gave the
citUcns of Lincoln his version of prohibition
from the standpoint ot personal observation
to-night at Uonanan's hall. It was cvcrv-
thing but complimcntory to the cause , and
was backed by facts ana figures that were
somewhat startling.
The Capital City Courier donned a now
head and came out in holiday
attire to-dav. The paper Is a
model ot neatness now , and reflects
credit upon the management. Mr. Hall , lat
of Omaha , does the paragraphing.

Sun Frniiclseo Letter.
SAN FUANCISCO , Oct. 16. [ Special
Corrchpondonco of TUB BBK. ] It is a
shame that the Now England papers ,
and that virtuous ass the New York
Evening Post , should persist in so utter
ly misrepresenting the Chinese ques
tion in California. At the present mo-
monl nothing is thought of , talked of or
written about but the Chinese. The
children in the streets are singing ' 'The
Chinese must go , Judge lloffman says
so , " and there is no doubt but that
Judge Hoffman does say so. What has
materially helped to make the feeling
universal is the action of A. S. Mercer ,
inspector for the Washington Bureau
of Animal Industry , who recently or
ganized a party of inspection of the
Chinese meal shops on Russian Hill.
The vice president of the butcher's
union was with the crowd and also a full
detachment of reporters and correspon
dents. As the visit had boon kept a
profound secret , it was n real inspec
tion , not a sham one. Ugh ! lam sick
at the thought of what I saw. There
were diseased livers of steers , there
were the rotten congested lungs of hogs
victims of cholera , there were
hind quarters of beef green and
blakoned. Wo wont to Dupont street
and to Kearney , and to Washington
btroot , and in overv store visited wo
found meal absolutely unlit for human
consumption. What emphasized the
matter was that the vice president of
the butchers' union recognized in a
store on Dupont street , a white restaurant -
ant keeper whocame to buy cheap meat ,
although ho made a pretense that ho
was only there to buy lard , the Callfor-
nian feel that the Chinese have no
meal sense in sanitary matters , and that
whlto mon who will not do themselves
what the Chinese do will always profit
by the lash of conscience of the Mongol
ians. Wo do not clevato thorn , but they
degrade us. Then wo went to a factory
where Chinese were preparing Saratoga
chips from potatoes , and afterwards in
spected a shrimp cannery , and "du
ounce ol civcl" will never wash from
my memory the smells I smcllcd and
the sights I saw. Mon have received
pensions for less suffering than our
band endured.
CHKAl' COAI < COM1NO.
One great piece of good luck has befallen -
fallen us. We have received a cargo of
Japanese coal from mines close to the
port of Kobe , and it burns with great
freedom and is remarkably free from
ash. As far as domestic purposes are
concerned , wo are now definitely free
from dependence Ux | > n the Australian
coal of Newcastle , and from the extor
tions of the Southern Pacific. That
acme of monopolistic greed has pos
sessed itself of much of the coal Holds of
Nanalmo , near Mount Ranter , in Wash
ington territory , and by entering into a
combination with the other proprietor ,
the Oregon Improvement company , was
eneblod to put the screws on the public
whenever there was a scarcity of Aus
tralian coal. This will also put an cud
to the howling of the principal cituens
of San Diego , the southern metropolis ,
as it calls itself. They have been be
wailing their hard lot because all their
rising manufactories were choked for
want of Rood coal , and have been calling
San Kraiieibi-o pot names , as if that city
could bo hold responsible for the doings
of the Southern Pacific railroad. This
arrival of i-oul from Japan is excellent
in another way , because ships louded
with petroleum for Japan can now get
a full return cargo of coal , and this will
tend to make- both articles cheaper.
So we feel good all around. The only
despondent man is the superintendent
of the Sun Francisco glass works who
doubts whether Kobe coal will produce
the intense heat required for his indus
try , but as ho has not yet tried it there
is room for hope that it will be all that
ho could wish. Then , good-byo Aus
tralian coal ! Alco , good-bye Southern
Pacific monopoly !
THK nr.mvooD LANDS SAvr.n.
Charles E. Beach , whoso trial in the
United States district court lias been al
ready mentioned , has been found guilty
but has not yet been sentenced. Ilfs
crime is technically subornation of per
jury. Ho paid men $ -50 apiece for filing
entries in government land as if they
were about to take up a quarter section
apiece for their own personal benotlt ,
and had made no contract with any second
end party. They had to inako oath to
this effect , but it was proved that they
immediately turned over their claims
to Bench , who turned them over to the
California Redwood company. This
company was roprcsonto'1 by a Scotch-
named David Evans , and it is not to bo
doubted that Beach was simply an u cut.
But the law had no hold upon Evans
save through his books , and ho
burned them and turned state's evi
dence. The result will bo that 01,000
acres of the finest timber land in the
world will revert to the United States
government. It is a singular fact that
it has been found impossible to "opro-
duce the redwood tree. Seeds have
been sown under the most favorable
conditions , but they will not germinate.
It seems as if the sequoia were a relic
of antediluvian times , and that the
conditions now existing are unfavorable
to its reproduction. It grows in a nar
row belt on th6e 3tside of the Coast
Range mountains , from forty miles
soutli of San Francisco to a point about
ninety miles north ot it , and a sequoia
forest is about tha most exquisite sight
in the vegetable kingdom. The trunks
area purplish , brown , , and they ascend
for liOO feet as straight and as symmet
rical as Ionic cqlumns in those old Hel
lenic temples of which mon know noth
ing , not even the names. The foliage
is of a dark green , and as our Califor-
niuu sky has a dapth of blueness un
known to the unfortunates who live east
of the Sierra Novadas , there is a har
monic blaze of color over which artists
rave. Tom Hill says the sequoia is a
color poem. l
BOUTIIKKN CAUl'OKNIA LOOMS UP.
The eastern man accuses the Califor-
ninn of bragging. Now , this is only
partly true. There is a marked dis
tinction between the men of northern
California and those of southern Cali
fornia , and especially of the Los Ange
les region. The northern Californian
simply states the facts as ho finds thorn ,
but the men of Anaheim and Los Ange
les and Santa Barbara , and the whole
Sun Bernardino range country , have a
poetry of diction and * u Hood of imagi
nation which make them the Gascons
of California , They do brag moit fear
fully that must bo allowed. They
have just had a fruit show at Los Angeles -
los , u I'omologirul fair they call it , and
the bitigH of the &an Bernardino men
have bjun simply terrific. But it seems
strange that the county in California
which was the horror of all emigrants
who came by the southern trail , and
and which possesses a desuit more ter
rible than anything in Arabia , is now
recogni/.cd as the boat grape-growing
region in southern California. It was
called by the Spaniards the Jornada
del muerto , because of the skeleton
of men along the trail , and it is now
the garden of America. Its table
grapes and its dried fruits were the ad
miration of all who saw them at Los
Angelo * . Still it is in the north that
one finds the most real wine-growing
regions of Californiaand as the French
vintages of this year both in rod and
white wines are practically : v failure
llio French exporting houses have sent
agents to San Francisco to buy up all the
vintages of Napa and Sonoma valleys ,
and of the San Jose vineyards. Tliby
bay they require them forcoupago only ,
just to blond with their own , but the
blending is liUoFalstaff's broad and sack ,
very little of the first and a tremendous
quantity of the last. Northern Cali
fornia is in fact the Franco of America ,
and southern California its Spain. The
former gives the wines of the table , and
the latter those of the dessert. The
time is near at hand when the east must
recognize these facts and give us the
money that it pours into the purse of
Franco.
JimOKTEHUY'S HOI'KS.
Peter Asho lias certainly stirred up
things in Wabhington with regard to
ex-.ludgo Terry's case. His positive
testimony that the main statement about
Sarah Arnica's drawing a pistol was an
abioluto Ho has had its oll'ecl , and he
telegraphed to the judge a message
which made him feel very hopeful.
The sympathy that is now felt in Cali
fornia for tliis wnywnrd pair is based
primarily upon the popular hatred of in
justice , but it has a deeper root the
public rage against the abuse of the
ppwt-r of money. Wo halo our million
aires. They have been robbers and
spoilers and oppressors ever since they
accumulated wealth.Vhonoveronodf
them drops into his coflln there is a
chorus of exclamations of "Thank CJod !
Another oppressor gone ! " Who mourned
for Charles Crocker ? No one , for ho
was ono of the Central Pacitlc thieves.
Who grieved for Sharon ? No one , for
ho was ono of the monopolists of the
Spring Valley Water company. Who
will shed a tear for Jim Flood ? Not a
soul , for he was an arrant assessment
thief , and UK one of the partners in the
Nevada b.uik , has a most unsavory rec
ord upon land mortgage. The popular
theory about the rich man is that he is
a treegiving grateful shade , and afford
ing shelter for bird and beast. There
are borne rich mon of that kind , but
most of our millionaires have been
deadly Upas treesand therefore when it
seems probable that young Sharon hns
been endeavoring to crush the Ferrys
by the weight of his money , a unani
mous cry of execration goes up against
him.
OllIKl'.SK IN'nKMN'ITV CLAIMS KXTOSIH ) .
Does Grovcr Cleveland hate the
Pacific slope ? Wo are forced to ask the
question because on every point where
ho can assail us , silver , wool or anything -
thing else ho plunges his knife into us
to the hilt. Now juht look at the prop-
sition to pav a Chinese indemnity of
$27f(110.76 ( ( , "for all los-.es nnd injuries
sustained by Chinese subjects in the
manner under the circumstancs etc. ,
etc. , etc. " wo would like very much to
know whether these losses and injuries ,
etc. , etc. , etc. , were not covered by an
act of congress approved in Februaay of
last year , which appropriated $147-
781.7' ) for that purpose. What has
happened since ? And where did it
haiioon ? The people of California
would like to know upon what tm.iis
the Chinosn ambassador arrived
at the gross total of the sum appro
priated last year. Was there any
unjust steward of a cabinet minister
saying "How much does my nation owe
thee lake thy bill and multiply it by
ton and then divide with mo. " It looks
like it. The record shows that China-
inon who could not possibly have lost
more than a thousand dollars put In
claims in ono case for $21,524 , and in an
other for $10,088. It was proved incontestably -
testably that Shna , King Lung of Rock
Springs lost 8900 , and claimed that
$15,810 would bo necessary to fix him.
There were no vouchers , there was
nothing but the unsworn statements of
these conscienceless Chinese , and yet
their claims were allowed by Bayard
and Cleveland. Why if the United
States is to bo such a bonanza to the
pig tailed heathen , all shcol will not
keep them out of the country.
ANOTIIEK OUTRAGE ON CALIFOItNIANS.
About throe weeks ago the postmaster
hero , a very affable gentleman named
Bryan , wrote to that pompous personage ,
Don Dickinson , the postmaster general ,
asking for a modification of the postal
laws and regulations so as to allow Cali
fornia wine men to bond samples
through the mails as other merchants
do. It was proposed that the samples ,
should bo inclosed in circular-shaped at
packages lined with cork , and with a II
patent screw stop. It will hardly bo $ \
rcali/.cd that this reasonable regard waa ij
refused by the present administration. f , \
It is diflicult to see why the one great
Californian industry should bo placed at
such a signal disadvantage. It waa rec
ognized that the sending of samples by
mail was a most needful aid to the
internal commesco of the country , and
yet California is discrimatcd against in
the most vital application of that postal
principle. The excuse intulo was that
there had boon protests from ofl'cials ol
different states complaining that the
course pursued would interfere with
laws existing in their states. Are all
the states of the union prohibitionists ?
Is Don Dickinson himself a prohibi
tionist ? Would prohibition pleas ba
sufficient with this administration to
deal a blow against the main industry of
any other state than California ? Wo
do not think so. Patience and shuffle the
cards , and wo will deal Grover a hand
in November that shall astonish him.
