Borrowing Money.
Borrowing money upon the Installment
plan N attended with these advantages: The
loan can he repaid ln small monthly amounts
which include the Interest and part of the
principal, so that by the expiration of tbe
term It can be all paid without an" great In
convenience to the borrower. The rate of in
terest Is generally lower. The expenses of ob
taining the money are not so great as In ordi
nary loans, and if It is borrowed upon good
paving property then it often happens that
the rents will meet the monthly Installments
ami in time pay off the debt.

FRIDAY MAY 28, 1875.
Those who suppose our friend E. A.
Preuss Is not to be considered in the
contest for County Treasurer, are
counting their chickens before they
are hatched. He is a strong inde
pendent candidate and has friends all
over the couuty. Oue great element
of his strength Is his independence —
independence of all parties. He does
not rely upon conventions for his
place on the ticket, and after all par
ties have made their nominations the
Doctor's flag will still float. He is iv
the field to remain until the last vote
is polled on the evening of election
day.
There will be no contention about
the result of the Republican primary
election which took place in San Fran
cisco on Tuesday last. The vote was
very light—too light to afford encour
agement to the office-seekers of that
party. Tom Shannon and Boruck,
the first and second Lieutenants of
Gorham, managed the affair and
elected aud defeated just whom they
pleased. How are the mighty fallen!
It is only a little time since the party
which consists only of Federal officers
and is marshalled into line and con
trolled by a man who was dismissed
from the office of United States Mar
shal for Ironing and marching through
the streets as a felon one whose only
offense was that of being a witness,
numbered among its members a large
proportion of the honest voters of the
city aud whose power was as irresist
able as its pusillanimity is now con
spicuous.
The Same Everywhere.
The development of gigantic frauds
among the whisky distillers in the
East has created quite a stir, and peo
ple are wondering how such things
could exist and the heavens not fall.
It is a verification of the old adage
that the disgrace of a crime is in de
tection. If these violators of the law
had not been caught in the act, all
would have gone well and uo one
would have felt that the country was
robbed. How great would be the
hubbub were all the revenue frauds
uncovered that have been perpetrated?
This sort of rascality has been going
on since the laws of the nation offered
a premium for its practice. Liquor
manufacturers have swindled the gov
ernment with the knowledge and con
sent of those whose duty it was to pre
vent the practice by an honest enforce
ment of the law. We venture the as
sertion that many thousand subordi
nate officers have lost their situations
by a too zealous discharge of their
duty. It is impossible that the gigan
tic frauds reported could have been so
loug carried ou without the conniv
ance of those high in authority. It is
a well known fact that not long ago a
whisky ring existed in San Francisco,
among the members of which were
men whose positions at Washington
enabled them to prevent investigation
iv to the affairs of distilleries they did
aot wish disturbed as well as to cause
the seizure of those not iv the ring,
no matter how honestly conducted.
We do not know that this ring is still
in existence, but we do know that
outside distillers often found their es
tablishment and stock seized and
their business broken up, while the
large houses enjoy an immunity equal
to that of the old ring favorites. Rev
enue swindling in whisky manufac
turing reaches from one end of the
nation to the other and high officers
make mouey out of it.
Bargain and Sale.
As we understand tbe programme,
the Republican delegates recently
elected in this city and couuty will
meet to-day for the performance of
what to tbe uninitiated appears to be
anomalous duty. One part of the
business, as explained by the mana
gers, is to maintain party organization
by the appointment of a Republican
County Committee, and the other the
appointment of a committee to confer
with the Independent leaders for the
purpose of effecting a union between
the two parties in this county. This
appears to be a contradiction of terms
with a cross-purpose argument in fa
vor of unity of action. If the Repub
lican leaders are really desirous of
maintaining an organization, they
certainly go about their work in a
very unwise manner when they make
overtures which the manipulators
know and desire shall end in the ab
sorption of the party by the Independ
ents, as was the case two years ago.
The sale of party name and party
principles at that time reduced the
numerical strength of the Republican
party in this county thirty-three per
cent, and the Federal office-holders
and office-seekers who are trying to
effect another bargain and sale of the
honest Republican voters, well Know
that if they attain their purpose the
Republican party of Los Angeles
county will have passed from exist
ence, save in name. Yet they tell the
rank and file they will keep up party
organization. They cannot mean
what they say, and the Republican
masses —those who are Republicans
from principle —should heed the dan
ger that this conference committee in
dicates and guard against the sale of
themselves, which the office-seekers
contemplate. On the other hand,
while there may be office-hunters
calling themselves Independents who
are willing—even anxious —to form
this unholy alliance with wire-pullers
calling themselves Republicans, it is
not probable that the Independent
masses will consent to the prostitution
of their principles forthe sole purpose
of strengthening the chances of
the Court House and Fed
eral office-holders' ring to maintain
their present positions or obtain better
ones. No Independent who regards
Senator Booth as the leader of the
Independent party of California, can
submit to this, for iv his speech de
livered in San Francisco a few days
ago, he not only scorned all overtures
for an alliance, but charged that the
Republican party of to-day is com
pletely under the control of Federal
officers, whose only argument why
they should be retained in offlce con
sists mi the false and ludicrous asser
tion that the rebellion is not yet over.
If the Independents of California
have a leader, he is embodied in New
ton Booth, aud he moat emphati
cally assertu that no honest Independ
ent can or will affiliate with the Re
publican party to the extent of sup
porting the same candidates. We
apprehend that after the members of
the Los Angeles ring have foimed
their combination, they will discover
that it is one thing to sell out the
honest voters of a party and another
to deliver the property.
Geiger Escapes from the Santa Rosa
Jail - A Masterly Feat.
Santa Rosa, May 25th.—i). H.
Geiger, who was convicted last year
for the murder of Mrs. Strong, In
Meudoeiuo county, and sentenced to
the State Prison for life, made his es
cape from the county jail at a quarter
to 2 o'clock this morning. Geiger's
case was taken to the Supreme Court,
which sustained the decision of the
District Court. The Sheriff was only
waiting for the remittitur to take
him to the State Prison. He got pos
session of a fine saw and Hie, and fif
teen minutes after the jailer locked all
the prisoners in their cells, Geiger
commenced to work for his liberty.
In about twenty minutes after he had
commenced, he got out of the cell by
springing the side that holds the bolt.
This admitted him to tlie large ball,
where prisoners are kept durlug tlie
day. He then commenced to cut a
hole in the ceiling at the further end
of the jail, but being rather weak, he
asked the prisoners if they wanted to
get out. All of them refused, except
John Jones, who is awaiting the ac
tion of the Grand Jury on a charge of
highway robbery. Geiger then sawed
the massive ring that holds the lock
of the cell occupied by Jones, which
was quickly done, and admitted John
Jones into the large hall. They Doth
then proceeded to saw out a hole in
the ceiling, which they succeeded in
doing after six hours' hard work,
which brought them to the jury room,
and from there they left for parts un
known.
An Important Suit.
New Yokk, May 26th.—Mr. Jewett, who has
been appointed the Receiver of tlie Erie Kail
road, is lo assume his duties as soon us he
shall have file 1 a bond in the sum of 8500,000.
The order nf tne Court requires him to file an
inventory of all I lie property of the road and
empowers In in to run It as usual, prosecute
anddefend suits at law, pay salaries, borrow
money, redeem pledges and securities and do
ail things necessary forthe proper prosecu
tion of the business of the road. Mr. Jewett
from being powerless as President, becomes
master of tne situation as Receiver. By
forcing matters, he can bring the tiunk lines
to terms and end the railroad war.
Terrible Explosion.
Boston, May 26th.—This evening an explo
sion occurred in J. D. Dow's drug store, Was
hington street. Nothing deflniie is known as
to the cause. At the time of the explosion
there were about twenty-two persons in the
bu'lding. Nearly all were more or less seri
ously injured. The first intimation was a
deep rumbling sound, similar to that accom
panying an earthquake. Almost simullruie
ously the walls of the building burst outward
in every direction, falling In a confused mass,
the wreck being more complete than that of
any building blown down by gunpowder du
ring tbe great fire. The remains ofthe build
ing took fire. Two dead bodies have been
taken out and a dozen wounded sent to the
Otiy hospital. It is estimated that the loss to
Dow's building is 840.000. There was a general
shaking up of adjoining buildings, which will
probably bring the losses up to 510(1,000.
Pennsylvania Republicans.
Lancaster, Pa., May aith.—The Republi
can State Convention met to-day. Governor
Hartranft was nominated by acclamation.
The platform, among other provisions, calls
for protection to home industry, cheap trans
portation, free banking and a uniform na
tional currency, the reduction of the national
debt,the reservation of public domains for
actual settlers, the equalization of bounties
to soldiers, and the speedy settlement of Just
claims arising out of the late war and protest
against the third term.
The Enforcement Act.
Washington, May 26th.—The U.S.Supreme
Court, which will close Its present session
early next month, will dispose of all cases
that have been argued, with the exception of
three, which require more deliberation than
can be given this term. One of these is the
case Involving the constitutionality of the
Knforcemens Act.
Spoke His Piece.
New York, May 28th.—Judge Porter con
cluded his argument for the defense to-day.
At Us conclusion, the foreman of the Jury
stated that one of the Jurymen was too 111 to
remain at present, and the Court adjourned
until to-morrow.
A Fishy Feeling.
London, May 28th.—Representations hav
ing been made that the ill-feeling existing be
tween Frenchmen and Englishmen engaged
in the fisheries off" New Koundlund may cause
collisions, the Governments of France and
England have resolved their war vessels to
those waters to prevent disturbances.
Two More Bodies of the Victims of the
Senator Recovered.
Portland, Oregon May 21th.— The body of
Clans Beckmau, a passenger on the steamer
Senator at the time of her explosion, was
found floating in the river near the scene ot
the disaster late last night. The body Is con
siderably mutilated. This morning the
body of J. D. Locey, the purser ofthe Sena
tor, floa'ed to the surface in about the same
place. The head was badly crushed und the
body In poor preservation. It was taken to
Oregon City this evening for Interment by
the Odd Fellows.
Balston Does Not Resigns.
Has Francisco, May 27th.—Rumors were
prevalent about town last night, and were
given circulation ln the papers this morning,
that W. C. Ralston had resigned his position
as President of the Bank of Callfurnia. It was
also whispered that a consolidation of the
leading financial powers lv the city was about
to take place in connection with Mr.Ral-ton's
retirement, and that an otter made not long
since to sell the controllng interest ln the
Bank to a prominent firm in this city only
failed to become a trade from some minor
points of difference. In an Interview with a
reporter this morning Mr. Ralston stated ex
plicitly that all such reports are entirely un
founded; that everything was going on as
usual, and uo change contemplated.
Bridge Gives Way.
Downi eville, May 25tb. — The
bridge across the North Fork of the
Yuba river at this place gave way this
morning, when an eight-horse team,
having a wagon loaded with 12,000
pounds of pig-iron, was crossing. The
driver animals and wagon were pre
cipitated into the river, falling about
fifteen feet. Dick Miller, the driver,
fortunately escaped with a few bruises
aud the team was not hurt.
San Diego Items.
[From the World, May 25th.]
We noticed several ox teams in town
yesterday, loaded for points outside.
The gearing was on tbe primitive pat
tern, tlie cattle being yoked to the
horns. We began to think it was time
for Lint-on to leave.
TheJamul Ranch, acres, has
been confirmed to the heirs ol* Henry
S. Burton, deceased. The Jainul is
distant from this city about twenty
five miles, and isa very desirable prop
erty.
It now appears that before Mr. Ca
pron went up to see tlie Big Trees he
purchased a place in San Bernardino
on which to put down a bank—a
branch of the Commercial—so that not
only Los Angeles but San Bernardino
is to be run by San Diego brains and
money.
In Memoriam.
We find the following in the Santa
Barbara Press:
At six o'clock on Monday morning,
C. C. Oltrogge, our recent city editor,
after several weeks of severe illness,
died very peacefully at the Winches
ter rancho, 15 miles West of this city,
where he has been in tender and faith
ful hands during his last illness.
Change of Newspaper Proprietorship.
The Evening Chronicle changed
hands last evening. The present pro
prietor is D. E. McCarthy, formerly of
the Territorial Enterprise, but more
recently managing editor of the San
Francisco Chronicle. Mr. McCarthy
takes possession of the Chronicle offlce
to-morrow, und will doubtless make
his bow to his old friends and tlie pub
lic generally in the next issue of the
