The True Railway situation,


Perhaps the most peculiar thing about
the Pacific Coast, of late years, is the
way transcontinental railway building
has come to the front. Time was when
California and the other States and Ter
ritories of this Coast merely dreamed OF
new aud better transportation era,
which would replace that of the original
weary trip around the "Horn, aud the
later, and scarcely less wearisome voyage,
via the Isthmus of Panama, There is
one thing about the men who have
created the system OF transcontinental
railways that should not be forgotten,
and that is that they have not only built
with Titanic energy themselves, but
they have given the initiative which has
encouraged other people to build. While,
Just now, it is fashionable in stockton
and in the Mussel Slough sections OF this
State, to throw rocks at the originators
of the Central and Southern Pacific
Railway systems, as to the rest Of the
State there is very little disposition of
that kind. While all Californians,
especially all California Democrats, be-
lieve that corporations ought to be regu
late |, there are innumerable Democrats
who think that the men who created the
first transcontinental railway did the
greatest thing chronieled in the
achievements OF mankind since
Morse developed Benjamin Frank
Inns crude idea of electricity into the
modern telegraph. But for the con.
summate pluck and address which laid
at the bottom Of the Central and Union
Pacific Railways, the people OF the
United States would to-day be cropping
about in the dark for speedy intercom-
munication between their Atlantic and
Pacific possessions. During the short
span which has intervened between the
building of the Central and Union
Pacific Railways and the development
of other railway projects there have
been developed such potential, rich and
varied resources, as consequence OF that |
supreme effort that the veriest dema.
gogue must concede the fact that the
building of that first transeontinental
railway was in truth the "open sesame"
OF development on the American cont.
nent To this initiative, amongst other
things, was undoubtedly referable the
pouring ont Of nearly tour hundred mil
lions Of minted gold and silver dollars

TalE GREAT ISSUE.
MIR. Huaphreys's Reply 90 Our
Open etter.

JossPn ID. LYNCH, ESQ -DearSh' For
the present, ! wish only to say, in re.
sponse to your open letter addressed to
Carpenter and myself, that the original
four and six cent schedule was prepared
by the Secretary OF the Commission under
my orders, and without oonsultaiion,
oollusiou or conversation thereupon, by
me, with any railroad man, or friend,
attorney, agent, or representative Of the
railroads. The original draft of the
schedule was made out by our Secretary
in whole numbers. II became necessary
to correct the proofs in this respect so
as to treat the fractional mile
age as arranged by the Boards
order, adopted concurrently with tie
adoption Of the body of the schedule.
The reading and correcting of the
proofs were left entirely to the Secre-
tary as the official subordinate of the
Company, | had nothing to do with
such proof reading, nor with ordering
the same, further than my knowledge
that it was the Secretary's duty, and
was being performed.
If in the discharge OF such duty any
tampering was permitted, l care not by
whom, nor in whose interest, it was a
guilty breach of trust, and as such shall
be treated and punished so far as l have
the power, and if such tampering appear
in the schedule it shall be promptly
purged therefrom.
Whether it does SO appear or not, is
for the Secretary to demonstrate, and
this demonstration, as far as carried, has
been offered by the Secretary to the pa.
per in which the charge appeared, and
its publication therein is refused.
When published, this statement, by
the Commissioners Secretary, will per.
nit the public to judge whether Mr..
Carpenter and myself have had our oon-
fdenee abused, aud whether the public
have been cheated.
Yours Respectfully,
w. p. HUMPHREYS.
San Francisco, Sept. 20, 'S3.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1883-09-23

In the current issue of the HERALD
we print the reply of Hon. w. ?. Hum.
phreys TO the Open Letter OF the editor
Of the HERALD. We cannot truthfully
say that this letter is entirely satisfacto-
ny to us Mr.. Humphreys alleges negli-
gence, and even hints treachery, on the
part Of the Secretary of the Railway
Commission. Mr.. Andrus. It appears
to MS that in matter of such moment
TO the people Of California the Commits
sioners were not justified in leaving any
thing material to subordinate. Having
sought the trust which they now hold,
they accepted. with its salary, the la
bors devolving upon them. They had
no right to shift them upon mere
subordinate. By their voluntary candi-
dncy for the positions Of Railway Com
missioners Of tho State of California,
these gentlemen, one and all, Mr.. Foote
equally with the Messrs. Carpenter and
Humphreys. accepted the responsibility
Of doing every detail of their work hon
estly and conscientiously. In addition,
IL seems to us that Mr.. Humphreys
ought to have answered directly our
question, founded on the so-called ex.
hibit Of the Eramiaer, as to whether or
no the pen OF any employe of the rail-
way figured on the proofs Of the railway
fare schedules adopted by the Commits
sion. The people, as to this question,
will tolerate no evasions. While the
HERALD is a manly and avowed friend
Of the California system of railways, 1t
recognizes as just and binding the
pledges of the San Jose Convention for
material reduction in freights and
fares. and 1t would far rather suspend
publication than play stool-pigeon
for lot of Commissioners who should
be proved to have betrayed their trust.
II is in view Of these considerations that
we unhesitntingly say that MIR. Humph'
reys has not, in our opinion, met the
situation. We donot suggest guilt, but we
recognize criminal degree of negligence,
as the case appears from Mr.. Humph-
reyss letter.
Rendering this Judgment, which, it
appears to us is called for hy the facts
as thus far developed, it is only fair that
we should call attention to the following
passage in Mr.. Humphreys letter, viz;
II in the discharge OF such duty ire
ferring to Mr.. Andruss handling of
" the proof sheets of the amended fare
"sehedules) any tampering was per-
United, care not by whom, or in
"whose interest, ii was a guilty breach
"of trust, and as such shall be treated
"and punished so far as l have
"the power; and if such tamper-
ing appear in the schedule 1t shall
''be promptly purged therefrom." Thus,
by Mr.. Humphreys own admission, the
Commissioners have been guilty, at
least, of laches. We shall watch very
carefully later developments, to see
whether their fault has been merely
venial. The HERALD. friendly as it is
to railway development and railway
extension, inimical as it is to mere dem.
agogic howline, proposes to see that
Democrats officials, elected pnder spe.
cifc pledges, shall do their. .ddty or show
cause to the contrary.
1t is only fair to call attention to that
portion Of Mr.. Humphreys letter in
which he says that corrections of state
ments rendered by Secretary Andrus to
the Eraminer have been denied publlea
/ tion in that journal.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1883-09-23

from the Comstock lode which was an
incident Of the Central Pacific extern
sion. The tremendous silver develop
ments Of Colorado were amongst the
correlatiye benefits accruing to the
people Of the United States from the
construction OF the Union Pacific Rail
way.
In thla brief summary we have failed TO
note any of the national benefits which
have resulted from welding the two
ocean termini Of the country together
These have been simply incalculable.
Through the avenues Of governmental
outlay hundreds Of millions Of dollars
might have been spent without equiya-
lent results, Ia the line Of national dig
nifty and security.
But, even with this great phase Of the
usefulness Of the original Pacific trans
continental railway, the subject has by
no means been dismissed, il we desire
TO arrive at its true significance. The
success Of the first transcontincntal rail.
way gave the keynote TO all suosequent
enterprises II vivifed the timid and
inspired the bold to new efforts. The
Texas. Pacific, the Southern Pacific, tho
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, the North.
ern Pacific, the Utah Southern, the
Denver and Rio Grande, would never
have known single pulsation Of inan.
cial life had it not been for the grand
success which attended the pluck and
perseverance, of our California Railway
people The one impulse which made
gigantic railway endeayor possible pro
ceeded from that grand and significant
enterprise. But for that original ven
ture, not only would railway compoti.
tion be impossible, but we believe that
the people of California would be pay
ing three prices for transportation where
they are now paying one.
1t is in view of these facts that
we think that the present anti
railway howl in California is a
purely dsmagogcal and artificial
one ualess our Judgment is lament.
ably at fault, the Railway people, what
ever their course may have been in the
past, are anxious to mike concessions at
all points. The element Of competition
has already entered so largely into the
transcontinental and local transportation
proposition that the old idea of large
railway earnings is thing of the past.
In our opinion, the true California prin-
ciple Is to vitalze the Pacific Coast system
Of railways. and to formulate such intel-
ligent schedules of freight transportation
as will, without crppling the railways,
give the largest return to the productive
interests Of the Pacific Coast.
