TIE TRUTH APPEARING.

Those who had the patience to read
through the long report Of the proceedings
before the Railroad Commissioners on Fri
day were rewarded in finding that one OF
the chief charges made against the leading
railroad companies Of this coast was
pricked, and the wind let out speedily.
Il has been the capital in trade of the DEM
agogues Of the Harrison stripe, backed by
the Hearst organ and its interruptions ten
dera, to point to the Especial contract sys-
tenn" as originating with the Central Pa
cific Railroad corporation, and enforced by
it to punish those whom it disliked. The
testimony given on Friday established these
facts hey ond all farther controversy !:
That the system did not originate with a
California company; that the mercantile
class was first consulted concerning it, and
the large majority approved it; that it was
mutual agreement; that the object of it
was TO secure for the roads concerned a
majority Of the patronage of the overland
trade that its results have been favorable
to the business of San Francisco, insuring
lower rates, quicker time, and less risk
tina. her merchants of good standing have
never been refused the privileges of special
contracts that the Central Pacific Rail.
road never made any threats against
Harfison's firm /; that that road never had
any control of the Montana and Idaho
freight business. 1t was shut out from 1t
by the Union Pacific, and in retaliation it
closed to its rival the Utah trade. This
brought about compromise, by which
San Francisco gained privileges equal
to those enjoyed by Omaha shippers,
though the formers haul was twice as
long. It turned out that all the "cinch.
ing" of Harrison's beer, concerning which
he has made so great connection, was
done in the East, If at all, where the
freight originates, and that the Central
Pacific people had nothing in the world to
do with it. Without considering the wis.
dom or unwisdom of the special contract
system, the business policy that is cited
in its support, and which system, the tes-
timony showed, is as yet but an expert.
ment, it is timely to point out that the
whole truth concerning this much.disputed
matter has now been laid bare, and that
not single allegation of the agitator Hsr-
rison has been maintained by the proofs.
On the contrary, it was shown that the
carriers have been the victims of false re.
ports published in INSCRIPTIONS sheets; OF
false charges of favoritism, and Of a great
amount of misrepresentation and unde.
served abuse.

FRANCE.

The threatened disturbances in Paris on
Sunday were of trivial character. We
do not learn that governmental activity
prevented turbulence. 1t is probable that
the anarchists found themselves to have
fewer sympathizers than they mad counted
upon. It is certain, however, that the
alarm in France is not all on the surface.
Foreigners are leaving the great cities
houses are being made more secure, and
valuables are being placed in repositories
of safety. In the mean while Ferry
seems to be dazed and incapable of pos
tive judgment or decisive action. It needs
only small amount of courage and an
atom of vigor to restore France to quiet
and to paralyzs the efforts of the commun-
lists and anarchists.

A DEFECTIVE SYSTEM.

The San Francisco Harbor Commission.
ers say that Gray, their Secretary, who is
supposed to be q defaulter in sum come.
where near $4,000, completely hood
winked them, as he was so exceedingly sly
in altering and reducing wharfngers' re-
ceiRts. This is probably true, but it also
establishes the fact that the entire system
of bookkeeping, and the methods of trans.
acting the business of the Board was griev.
ously faulty. 1t provided no system Of
checks, and placed it in the power of one
man to control all entries to act, indeed,
as Secretary, Auditor and Treasurer.
