THE RAILROAD RIVALS.

The Los Angeles Express bids San
Francisco look to its laursls. 1t says
that in the near future Los Angeles will
not only supply Southern California but
compete with the Bay City for the
through Asiatic trade and travel. The
means by which the Express expects that
Los Angeles will become the rival OF
San Francisco as the ontrepot Of the
commerce between Asia and the East is
the competitor OF the Los Angeles and
Independence Railroad with the extern
sion to the Utah Southern. There ia bo
doubt. that the competition OF that road
would be very potent factor in the re.
solution Of the proposition Of the Ex-
press. The trouble is that the conflict.
ing interests are SO enormously powerful
The Central Pacific has immense in
fiuenc, and resources. 1t is controlled
by astute cunning men, who have nc
scruples or compunction Of conscience,
as to the propriety Of their ends or the
means to their ends. To prevent com
peting line reaching the Pacific Ocean at
point where it could affect the traffic
OF their own line, they would spare no
pains or expense. The Union Pacific is
the only great line dire city interested in
supplying the connecting link between
the Utah Souther and the Los Angeles
and Independence lines. II that company
built that 500 miles OF road.
IL would be to great extent in
dependent Of the CentrallPacidc. But
i've hundred miles OF road cost no
trife. It is not every company that can
ind the means to construct that length
OF line. There Is no doubt but that the
Union Pacific could command tho means
il II desired to engage in the undertake
ing. Yet In spite Of the positive FEAST
bility Of the project and the ability of
the Union Pacific to complete it, the
Central Pacific could and probably would
offer such inducements to the Union
Pacific a. to make that company very
slow to commence the work. 1t is the
possibility and probability Of the con.
sruction Of the line, and the great sacrifice
necessary to induce the Union Pacific to
delay, that causes the Central Pacific
to use such unusual exertions 10 urge
on the Southern Pacific. Once
the Central Pacific secures the right
to construct that line and the
bug-bear Of the Union Pacific marching
to the sea vauishes. The advantages
offered by the Southern route are SO
great that il could successfully compete
with any trans-continehtal line. Stan
ford and company know this, aud it
causes them to make such great efforts
to convert the Texas line into an ally in
stead Of compel itor, Thus the inter
ests involved in the construction of the
line referred to are so varied and great
that it is difficult to tell which will pre-
vail.

How THE MlaHrY ARE FALLEN, must
be the exclamation OF all who remember
the resistless power Of the mining in.
tersst in the early days of Califor mia.
Then It controlled legislatures and the
court. II caused laws to be made and
decisions to be rendered to further and
protect the interests Of all who were en-
gagged In that pursuit. Now tho scene is
changed. We find, that the legislature
has or will pass an act, creating a COM
mission to inquire into the effect OF
Hydraulic Mining on the navigable rivers
OF tho State. Only think OF that. Wha,
would forty-niner have thought of the
presumption Of man. who would have
dared to have doubled the right of the
miners doing as they pleased with the
rivers of or anything else in California.
Time works wonders.

Centennial Matters.

Hon. c. c. Stevenson. Centennial
Commissioner for this State. has returned
from his visit to Philadelphia. and gives
the following items concerning the Ex-
position, which we take from tho Csrso
Appel
The Smithsonian institute managers
agree to place our meteorological collec-
tion in their building. arrange and label
the same, and make assays Of ores at
their own expense. 1t is also a part OF
their plan that the Donaldson collection
shall form part OF the Nevada exhibit OF
minerals. The Institute will do all this
provided we deliver our collection on the
exhibition grounds at our own expense,
and further provided that we appropriate
81, 900 for showcases wherein to show
these minerals. This makes very
great reduction in the original estimates.
These included an outlay OF 81, 500 for
arranging and labelling the specimens
and 30, 500 for cases. The saving here,
then, is $1,000. The Smithsonian H.
stitute has building Of its own on the
Fair grounds. The original proposition
was to turn these specimens over to "a
National Cabinet" at Philadelphia, after
the Fair; but there is no national cabinet
known or recognized except that which
forms part OF the Smithsonian Insti-
tute. II the proposition which Mr..
Stevenson brings from the Smithsonian
meet with the approval OF the Board.
the cabinet at the conclusion of the ex-
hibition will become the property OF the
| institute-much the best and most con-
spicuous repository in the United States.
About the quartz mill, this is the pres
ent arrangement: The mill will cost
| $500. A building in which to erect
and exhibit it is proposed. Space for
the erection Of this building, thirty-six
feet distant from Machinery Hall has
been allotted to us. The dimensions OF
the contemplated building IA plan of
which Mr. Stevenson showed us) are 40
| x60 feet. The cost of erecting it will be
$2,650. 1t will have minimum hight
inside OF sixteen feet. 1t will be VAIN
scoted four feet up and above that glass.
1t will be built opposite an aisle of Ma
chinery Hall and, as We say, only thirty
six feet distant from it. A railway track
runs right in front OF where the door will
be. BY these arrangements of cabinet
and mill there will be difference OF ST.
900 in favor OF the appropriation as
against the estimates last published. 1t
will be remembered that OF the last meet.
ing OF the Board sum of money-$1 900
we believe-was voted toward a Nevada
Headquarters building. Mr.. Stevenson
says our lot has been set apart on what
is known as State Avenue. aud that We
are made next door neighbor to Delaware
on one side and Minnesota on the other.

There seems to be an enormous amount
of red tape expended on the court mar
tial convened to try Pay Inspector
Spaulding. The best thing that could
have been done was to turn him over to
the civil authorities and try him by in.
dictment. This red tape business should
be summarily dismissed. 1t is relic Of
solid official humbugry that cannot too
soon be exploded. Its only uses are to
shield incompetency and prevent the
discovery of frauds and the punishment
OF the guilty.
