THE EXODUS OF CAPITAL.

The New York papers are congratulate
ing themselves on the drift of capital from
this State to that city. Certain California
journals affect to regard this exodus rather
as benefit than as a loss to the commu-
nifty. The ground they take is that the
capital which has been taken out of the
State was employed in speculation only,
that it fostered gambling habits, that it
did not contribute to the material growth
and welfare of the people, and that for
these and other reasons its loss is no injury
to the State. These views are in many re-
spects narrow and fallacious. In the first
place it cannot be assumed that the with
drawal of capital used in speculation will
tend to discourage gambling habits. The
facilities for gambling will remain, whether
the center of speculation is in San
Francisco or New York. In the
second place it is not realized clearly
enough that such Withdrawals of capi-
tai are calculated to influence publie
sentiment over wide area that they tend
directly to discourage the investment of
other capital, even in the most steady in.
dustrial pursuits /; that they give the State
bad name all over the world for crazy as
saults upon capital; and that they react
iniuriously upon every kind of business.
1t is not only stock gambling that feels the
effect of such incidents 1t is commerce
and manufactures generally. The impress.
sion produced abroad is that California has
ceased to offer a profitable field for enter.
prise of any kind. Nor is it true that the
capital which has been withdrawn pro.
duced only evil results while it was
here. The stock board of San Fran
cisco has done much harm in its
time, but it has also contributed greatly
to build up that city. There are
many blocks of costly buildings in the
business center of San Francisco which
never would have been erected but for
stocks. Their erection has given work at
high wages to thousands of mechanics, and
in adding to the beauty and dignity of the
city has served to attract fresh capital

AN INDIscREET CANDIDATE.

1t is possible that Senator Bayard has
abandoned his Presidential aspirations, and
if so he can afford to indulge his independ.
ence of character but if he is still in the
field, it would be difficult to conceive of a
more indiscfeet act than he is credited
with lately. It is said that when he was
in Richmond last week he received an in
vitation to visit the Readjusters' Legisla-
lature, but declined it, saying that he did
not care to visit people who were opposed
to paying their honest debts The
pluck and fearlessness of this act are
only equalled by its resolute regard for
integrity, but man who wants to be
President evidently has no business to be
posing as champion of probity, for he
cannot tell what strange bedfellows politics
may have in store for him. Bayard is the
kind of man to carry out his own ideas
of what is fitting without any regard for
expediency, and that is one reason why it
will require no very dexterous diplomacy to
destroy his prospects for the Presidency,
supposing that he still entertains any hopes
in that direction.

UNEQUAL TAXATION.

The substitute revenue and taxation
bill Endorsed by the minority of the Joint
committee ON those subjects has been
somewhat Inexperienced, chiefly through
an erroneous view of its provisions given
in the majority report. 1t does not, as we
were led to believe, provide for double tax
alton, but it does provide for unequal tax
alton, and this is the next worst thing.
1t provides that in assessing corporations
the value of all their tangible property
shall be set against their capital stock, and
If the market value of the latter shows
surplus over the former, this surplus shall
be taxed. The injustice of this ar
rangement lies in the fact that it
contemplates the assessment of corporate
property at higher rate than private
property is assessed at. The market value
of stock is necessarily the highest value
that can be obtained for any portion of the
property represented by it. But no such
standard is ever employed in assessing pri-
vate property. No mans farm is taxed
at what it would sell for. No mans house
is assessed 'on that principle. To make
such a distinction between corporate and
private property is to impose a penalty
upon the act of incorporation, and so to
discourage that method of associating
capital. Either all property should
be assessed at its full market
value, as here proposed in regard
to stock, or stock should be assessed upon
the same rule applied to private property.
AS the bill stands it certainly proposes the
creation OF broad line of demarcation be-
tween corporate and private property, and
to enact such law would be to discrim-
mate injuriously and unjustly against the
former. 1t has been complained hereto
fore that certain kinds of corporate prop
erty have escaped taxation. 1t ought,
however, to be possible to find remedy
for that which does not involve an equally
objectionable state of things. Corporate
property should not pay less taxes than
private property, but neither should it pay
more

THE FAMINE IN IREL AND.

The reports of the distress in Ireland
are singularly contradictory and perplex-
ing. One day it is announced that the
worst is over, and that there is no longer
any danger, and the next day it is stated
that the crisis has not yet been reached,
and that the danger must be expected to
continue well into the summer. It is
somewhat singular that the British Govern
ment does not take some steps for the issu-
ance of verified reports, to the end that the
rest of the world may know exactly how the
case stands. If indeed the worst is vet to
come, these contradictory reports are
calculated to produce evil results, since
they discourage charity, and lessen conf
dence in the disposition of the funds al
ready raised. 1t does not seem credible
that after the need of aid has been so uni
versally published there should still be
real danger of deaths by starvation but
the matter is far too grave to be left to
conjecture, or to even the most candid
unauthorized reports. There ought to be
official statements of the precise condition
of things, issued at least once . week,
and then the world would know what to
do for the relief of the sufferers.

No apparent effect on the status Of political parties
was caused thereby At this time, VIXEN you con-
sIder the vigilance required By the constantly-in-
creasing danger to city from foods, the import
ance OF careful management in dealing with the
holders OF more than half million dollars of
overdue and unpaid bonded Indebtedness, the expe.
rience and knowledge necessary n c9rrying out our
system of drainage and sewerage, the radical
changes made necessary by the new organic law in
regard to the improvement OF our streets and other
matters but little less important, it would seem
that citizens might wen be justified in overlook

important local matter

BENzoArE OF SODA FOR DIpHruER1A

BENzoATE OF SODA FOR DIpHTHERIA.-
Professor Klebs, of Prague, announces that
the benzoate of soda is the best antiseptic
in all infectious diseases. 1t acts, as the
experiments Of the author show, very pow
erfully. 1t is claimed that daily dose of
from 80 to so grammes to full grown man

operative. The benzoate is prepared by
dissolving crystallized benzoic acid in
water, neutralizing at a slight heat with a
solution of caustic soda, drying, and then
allowing the solution to crystalline over
sulphuric acid under bell glass. Large
doses do not appear to be absolutely neces-
sary. Good results may be obtained by the
daily administration of about IL grammes

Press: We, the undersigned, representing a
large number of the third-class passengers
leaving San Francisco on Friday last for the
Eastern States, take pleasure in informing
those of our acquaintance whom we have left
behind US on the Pacific slope of our appre-
citation of the greater comfort, convenience
and speed granted US in the matter of trans
portatiop, compared to the experiences of
those who made their choice of the Panama
route. At the recent low rates of fare offered
by the railroad and steamship companies to
New York, We find ourselves furnished, with
out extra charge, with the comforts of the
new sleepiug-cars lately put on the Central
Pacific Railroad, and furnished to all passen-
gers travelling overland on third-class tickets.
Ample time is given us at way stations for
meals at proper hours, and we have pleasure
in anticipating our arrival in New York in
the promised time of eleven days, or less than
one-half the time that must be consumed
by the steamer passengers, while we also avoid,
probably, seasickness, the limited diet of in
sufficient food served to steerage passen-
gers, as well as any and all dangers
incident to ocean travel. w. J. Keeling, M.
