nup kSTATJH TRADE

"Shall we lose our tea trade? asks the
San Francisco Mercantile DIRECTOR and
adds:
A serious danger row threatens the tea
trade of this city. The isthmus Of Suez
shortening by more than one half the
length of the passage from India to West
ern Europe and America, and allowing the
passage of ships OF burden, has been made
use OF to send c8rgoes of tea from China to
New York by .w:ttly sailing steamers. The
result is that the merchants OF New York
have been enabled 10 have cargoes landed
at the doors of their warehouses without
breakaga and in prime condition at less
cost than they could obtain the same teas
by way q! San Francisco. 1t IS SAID. also.
that in consequence o: the cargoeS being
unbroken during the voyage tina. there is
far less risk OF accident and that the teas
arrived IN far superior condition. Ii is cyl.
dent that we have been relying snpinely on

The COS: OF transportation between San

cost $4,000 900, and to pass south Of the
line of the Colorado. This is just what we
want for the future, but how about the
present During the five years in which
such a railroad would be building, we
would, with things as they are now, have
totally lost the trade; nay, Eastern mer-
chants would have encroached on our own
peculiar domain, and it would require ten
years to recover the ground We had LIST
during the preceding five. We want 10
take action at once; and that &C ion must be
such az shall persuade the Central Pacific
Railway Company, the China Mail Steam
ship line, and the UnionPacific RailroadICOm-
pany, that it is to their interest equally
with ours to establish such scale of freight
charges for teas as shall render cOmpeti-
ton via SueZ impossible.
We leave this competition to the parties
combatant. AS is not uncommonly the
case their attention has not been attracted
to their most formidable rival. Will this
rival condescend to put in her claim ?
New Orleans affords the cheapest. and
most desirable route for the delivery OF
Chinese and japanese goods to that inte-
rior to which we have referred. The sea
voyage from Hong Kong to New Orleans
via Suez is longer than to New York. but
the cost Of freight to the one or the other
port does not materially earyo II may be
mentioned that bark arrived at New Or
leans in 1901 with Chinese and Japan
ese goods at ten dollars per ton freight.
Assuming, then, an immaterial difference
in the freights from Hong Kong to New
York and New Orleans let US regard the
comparative cost of delivery from New
Orleans and New York to St. Louis as a
distributing centre. Rail freight from
New York to st. Louis, sixteen hundred
miles, at, say, twenty-five dollars per ton.
Freight from New Orleans to st. Louis by
steamboat or barge, say, ten dollars per
ton. These are about the relations be-
tween the freights from the two COM
peting cities to the interior. Is not this
subject worthy examination by our Cham
Der of Commerce and other business
men?
These Asiatic goods received at San
Francisco in 1871, were

The article from which we quote says
"By far the greater part Of the tea i'm
ported by way of this city [San Francisco
for the last two or three years has merely
passed through" Then much the greater
part of this six and half millions must
have been en- route East, and therefore
New Orleans has right to compete for
its receipt and transportation to the in
terror. It is to be remembered that
while San Francisco las to build costly
railroads and make complicated schedules
to keep this trade. New Orleans has the
grand river Of the West, with its tributa-
ries of rail and river already and always
open. When San Francisco then asks,
"Shall we lose our tea trade p let New
Orleans answer, "We propose to take it
off your hands, It may be done by SIM
ply putting this and that together"

this to be an accepted rule, that where
debatant resorts to misrepresentation or
suppression he confesses the points he
eyades. We demand the enforcement OF
this principle in the present case against
the Times, that since it has compelled the
public to desert all papers that upheld the
Republican party, not by any patriotic
suggestion or reasonable proposition, but
by bullying the people who were disposed
to be liberal and just with the threat they
would be considered ''nigger lovers II
they allowed their advertisements to go
into Republican organ, it has justified
the weaker party in using exceptional
means to be heard in its own defenreo II
all newspapers were treated with fairness
and according to their merits, and II all
the people Of Louisiana were fairly pre-
pared to contest fov their lolltical rights,
there would be no necessity and conse'
quently no defense for the suggestion
which we make: but as matters stand IN the
State. with one-half of the people without
organs. and too poo. to sustain them. 1t
becomes a different matter in Louisiana
from what it is in other States what policy
the majority are justified in pursuing. m
1853 the Democratic party declared that
owing TO the ignorance and p.asrt! Of its
membership in California, the Legislature
was justified in giving all the official print.
ing toward the support Of Democratic
papers. The suggestion was adopted. and
the unfortunate Wing papers had to de-
pend upon the superior wealth and intel
hgence of the Wing party to keep them
alive for the next two years. With such
on argument and such q precedent before
it, the Democratic party in Louisiana can
have nothing to say, especially as the
California legislation was based on a
Louisiana instance

A CLEAR CASE OF DISTORTION

The Times misquotes the language Of
Judge Ludeling in its attempt to make
point, thus:
In a late case before our Supreme Court,
Chief Justice Ludeling expressed his sur
prise that the bar of the city had never
taken occasion to test the sutticlency OF the
appointing power under which Judge Dibble
exercised judicial authority for years IN the
Eighth District Court.
The late case referred to was the con-
troversy between the two returning
boards. Mr.. Semmes, counsel for the
fusion side, raised the question that the
title of the judge of the Superior Court
was defective by reason of being derived
from appointment by the Governor, in"
stead of election by the people. Were
this q tenable position. the case under
consideration would have to De dismissed,
and the Chief Justice, as the organ Of the
court, promptly met it by informing Mr..
Semmes that the right ola Judge to his office
could not be attacked in such a collateral
manner, but must be inquired into by di.
rect action. If it were the opinion Of The
bar generally, as intimated by Dir. Semmes,
that an appointment under such circum'
stances was void, it was strange that they
had submitted to it for two or three years.
as they had done in the case of Judge
Dibble.
The language put into the mouth Of the
Chief Justice by the Times is exactly the
reverse. SO far as the meaning is concern
ed, of what he really said. So much for
fairnaSS

A SATIRICAL CUSs.

The T0z de Cuba satirizes the American

Asiatic bondage. It says that our war
against the Indian is reproach to modern

given them territory upon which many Of

are protected by the government. There
