The new building of the New York
Tribune will be a grand monument
to the memory of the noble-hearted
man who founded that great journal.
1t is the first of q class of buildings
which will probably be common
enough in the great cities of the twen-
tieth century-for which the enormous
value of land offers the inducement
and the invention of elevators has
rendered possible. The buildings adj
joining the new edifice of the "Tr-
bune" are, we think, higher than any
buildings we have in this city, but the
new "Tribunen building will tower
above them as one of our first-class
buildings like the Occidental Hotel
towers above a one-story shanty. The
height of the building will be $50 feet,
containing, with the basement, ten
floors with cellar underneath. A
tower will rise from the main build
ing to height of 2S5 feet. The whole
edifice is to be constructed of Quincy
granite, and in the best and strongest
manner. The corner stone was laid
on Saturday, January 25th, by Miss
Ida Greeley, and the building will be
pushed ahead as fast as possible.

THE monopoly press is fond of dis
canting on what it terms the utter
failure OF Illinois legislation on the
Railroad question, and holding it up
as a warning against any attempt to
control our California roads. That the
people of Illinois do not consider their
law failure is shown by the fact that
the Commissioners have begun suit
against the Northwestern road to en-
force the provisions Of the statute. No
one pretends that the law is perfect,
and it will doubtless require a good
deal of amendment to bring it into
satisfactory shape, but the principles
upon which it is founded are correct,
and will be adhered to by the great
State that has taken the lead in regu-
lating the corporations.

Corpo rations and Land Specu-
latIng.

We notice that the articles of asso-
citation of the Bank of San Francisco
have been filed at Sacramento. Among
other things this new bank intends to
purchase and hold real estate for build
ing and speculative purposes.
The privilege of buying and holding
lands has always been deemed q dam
gerous one in the hands of corpora
tions, and they are usually prohibited
from holding any more than absolute
Iy necessary for the purposes of the
organization. Illinois prohibits the
formation of corporations for the pur-
pose of land brokerage, and many of
the other States of the Union provide
against allowing real estate to get into
the hands of a corporation.
California is sufficiently cursed with
the evils of land monopoly, without
still further encouraging it by permit
ting the formation of corporations for
specializing in the soil. 1t is bad
enough to allow an individual to mon
opolize large area of the surface of
the State, to the exclusion of other citi-
zens, but in the regular course of ma
ture an individual will die and his pos
sessions will be scattered. A corpora
ton, however, under our laws, can be
renewed from time to time, and thus
practically continue its life to an in
definite period. In every country the
evil of land monopoly has been inten-
sified 10y permitting corporations to
acquire titles to the soil; and our State
should Immediately take steps to pre-
vent any trouble by making it illegal
for any corporation to hold any real
estate beyond the amount really ne
cessary for the transaction of its BUSH
ness. Railroads should be permitted
to hold their right Of way, depot and
shop grounds, and when they cease to
use them forsuch purposes, they should
revert to the State or to the original
owners. Lands granted to them to aid
in building their roads, should be Of
fered in open market for reasonable
length of time, and, if not disposed OF,
ought to be put up at auction. No
bank should be permitted to hold any
land beyond the lot on which its build
ing stands. Lands may fall into the
hands of a banking house through the
inability of debtors to meet their en-
gagements, but in that case, it should
be disposed of by the public officials,
and the proceeds devoted to the liq'li-
datiOn of the debt. This is required
of the national banks, by the Act I'M
der which they are organized, and the
same principle should be applied to all
corporations organized by State au-
thority.

AssEMBLYMAN PATTERSON, OF San
Francisco, has introduced bill pro-
hibiting theatrical managers from re-
serving seats. This Is u foolish bill,
and hardly worth an argument. The
law now gives any man any seat he
may occupy. No manager can turn a
man out OF "A seat because some one
else has engaged it. But by common
consent and courtesy IN exclusiveness
is conceded to all who reserve what Is

CALIFORNIA is not the only State in

successfully, in the matter of breaking
