was an abundance of room. The pas
sage of such resolution at this time,
when this question of q Southern line
was pending in Congress, looked like
unfriendly feeling on the part of Cali
fornia against the system lie repre-
sented, and was calculatee to weaken
that system and strengthen It's oppo-
nents. The author of the resolution
does not say but what our road should
receive the same aid as Scott's; but we
do not ask for aid, we only ask for the
privilege to run. 1t seems to be an
endorsement of what is known as the
Scott project.
Mr.. Swan said: / should take it to
be so. i think there is no doubt on
that subject.
Governor Stanford resumed: | do
not, of course, know how far the au-
thor of the resolution intended it
should go, but so far as through
freight is concerned / will say the
construction of competing line
from five hundred miles South of the
Central Pacific will have no effect.
Water competition keeps through
freight at low price and a parallel
line of railroad will not reduce it. The
tendency of dividing the business
would rather be to raise the price, be-
cause L think the experience of all rail.
road companies has been that rates are
decreased by an increase of business
decrease the business and you increase
the rates. If we extend our Southern
road as we desire the tendency will no
doubt be to divert some business from
the Central Pacific, but we will be able
to so develop the reeources of the Stat e
that in the end the Central Pacific will
be benefited rather than injured. We
are pushing the road forward as fast
as we can with our limited means.
The interests of California cannot he
jeopardized by having the Southern
Pacific constructed from this State.
McConnell.-Should Scott succeed
in constructing his road, is there any
other pass than the San Gorgonio?
Stanford.-Yes, but that pass is
broad enough. You can run 90 miles
of railroad through there. 1t seems to
me we have a right to expect that CAL
ifornia will give us at least a kindly
consideration in this matter and not
unnecessarily do US damage.
Archer.~Do you know just what
Scott asks?
Stanford.-He asks that Govern.
ment guarantee his bonds at forty
thousand dollars per mile on his main
line.

THE DAILY HERALD
Legislative Proceedings.

|
SACRAMENTO, March 7th.-The AS.
sem6dy Committee on Federal rela-
tions held meeting last night to con-
slider Chapman's concurrent resolu-
| ton relative to the Central Pacific
railroad. There were present-Swan,
Chairman, Mcconnell, Archer, Me-
Kenna, Chapman, Jenkins and
Crutcher.
| Governor Stamford appeared before
the committee in opposition to the
resolution.
The resolution is to the effect that
the Congressional delegation of the
Senate be instructed to support such
legislation as will keep and retain to
the United States Government in pos
session OF all the mountain passes be-
tween the Pacific Ocean and the Mis-
sissippi valley, and prevent the ex-
elusive control of any of them by rail-
roads, or of more than their partial
and conditional use, and that they
also support such other just legislation
as will ensure the speedy completion
of a completing Transcontinentul rail-
road to the Pecfic Ocean, on or near
the thirty-second parallel, subject to
such limitation as will protect the
rights of the people,
Governor Stanford said; His princi-
pal obligation TO this resolution was.
that it squnts toward what is known
as the Texas Pacific Railroad in oppo.
slon 10 the Southern Pacific line. From
San Francisco to the Colorado river 1t
was 72O miles, and the rich business
of the Arizona lay there, inviting
a railroad from this State so far.
AlsoG as the railroad system of
this coast penetrated to the East,
/ business would come this way; be-
yond that the local business would 90
East. he thought when the question
was properly understood that every
Californian would desire railroad
from the Southern part of this State
to penetrate as far East as possible. 1T
was tho desire Of the company he rep
resented to penetrate Arizona and 90
over into New Mexico by the Rio
Grande, having in view eventually
some sort of railroad com mmunication
with the city of Mexico. The impor-
tango ~ eupi 0 system on this coast
would be readily appreciated. So far
as the mountain passes Were CONCERNED
the resolution was not Necessary, be-
cause no railroad had control of such
passes unless it be the Central Pacific.
1t would be very difficult indeed upon
the present line of the Central Pacific
to build another line alonside of it, In
the Southern sect ion of the State there
was no difficulty about passes, Three

Cohen's Purpose.

Mr.. A. A. COHEN, q gentleman who
formerly controlled the ferries be-
tween San Francisco and Oakland
and Alameda, and owned or con-
trolIed the railroad from Alameda
Point to Hayward's, and made for.
tune on charges for freights and fares
four times higher than the rates now
charged, is the chief of the lobby now
laboring to force the passage Of ARCH
ER's freights and fares bill. Mr..
COHEN is monopolist by nature and
practice. When he controlled rail-
road and the bay ferries, the applica-
tion of the term extortion to his enor-
NOUS rates would have been consid-
cred by him as very unjust. Now,
however, although the charges are less
than one-fourth what he collected, he
considers them too high, and is labor
ing with might and main for ARCH
ER's folly. Behind Mr.. CoHEN's ap-
parent zeal for the people stands the
real cause of his advocacy of the bill,
and its name is Tom SCOTT's three
hundred and fifty million dollar Texas
Pacific subsidy scheme. Mr.. COHEN
is railroad man, and no one more
fully understands than he that the
passage of ARCHER'S bill will render
worthless nearly every road in the
State and so cripple the Central and
Pacific Companies that the Southern
Pacific will not be able to continue
building their road Eastward. This
will increase the chances for the sue
cess of SCoTT's scheme, in which
COHEN is largely interested. If the
Senate Committee will tear this mask
from the ex-railroad and ferry monop-
olist, it will see that his object in sup
porting ARCiIER's bill is not to reduce
rates because he believes they ought
to be reduced, but to injnre the South
ern Pacific and thus advance the in
terest of SCOTT and himself. Testi-
mony prompted by such motives
should not, aud we do not think will,
weigh heavily in the estimation of
the Committee.

The Farmers and Merchants Bank


Yesterday We dropped into the
Farmers and Merchants Bank to see
for ourselves how the bank looked
after the removal of the county funds.
We had heard that the bank was do
ing business on the county funds
alone, and a person attaching any
weight to the report so industriously
circulated by few individuals who
never had a dollar in any bank nor a
dollar Of their own except as they
sponged il out of poor Mr.. TEMPLE,
would have expected to find only a
beggarly account of empty trays. But
as we knew the anmus which prompt
ed this story, as we'll as the reputation
for veracity of those WHO circulated it,
we did not expect to find these things
and we we're not disappointed. Busi-
ness was going on as usual, and
glance over the counter revealed a
mountain of gold coin. The trays
Were full OF twenty dollar pieces, and
box after box of silver sat on the floor.
There were at least half million dol
lars in sight, with we do not know
how many hundred thousand in the
vaults. This is the condition in which
we expected to find the Farmers and
Merchants bank after the removal Of
the county's hundred thousand dol
lars. which was n mere bagatelle in
the sum total of the banks resources.
We have often stated and will again
rep> at That the Farmers and Mer-
chaus' bank of this city is one of the
safest and most reliable banks in the
State, and All examination OF the
financial status Of its stockholders
every one of whom is worth from
three to ten times the amount of stock
he holds-and an inquiry into the
ability of those to whom are intrusted
its management will satisfy the most
eXactiIg Of the correctness OF our as
sertion. 1t is also proper to state that
the Farness' and Merchants bank Is
conducted on the most careful busi-
ness principles. In pfoof OF this we
point to the fact that it has never sus-
tained Il serious loss, and has never
went Into court except to prevent out
lawry of account. No transaction that
could be construed into the semblanee
of II speculation has ever been in
dulged IN. 1t follows as certainly US
the day fo'lows the night that bank
conducted on such principles and
managed by men of long experience
ami acknowledged financial ability is
a safe and solid institution in whist
the public may with perfect safety
place the utmost confidence.

ness its feature prosperity depends, and
with its increase the rates diminish.
For the legislature to establish such
rates as those proposed in Archers

to run at all, the whole rural popula-
ton becomes deprived of its sole means
of advancement. No political party
