WHAT TO DO.

3 San Francisco journal, referring 10 the
importance and desirability Of California
being represented properly at the New Or
leans Centennial Cotton Exposition, says:
"What seems the most feasible plan, under
the circumstances, to secure q representa-
ton, is for the leading public institutions
Of this city and State to organize and fit
ont an exhibit For instance, let the
Board Of Trade, Chamber of Commerce,
Mechanics Institute, State Agricultural
Society, Produce Exchange and the asso-
cations Of manufacturers, fruit-growers and
yiticulturists combine and work together
Their united efforts would insure a display
that would be creditable to the State and
very profitable to the individual ezhib-
itors.7
There IS no originality in that suggestion.
The San Francisco press Is a whole year
behind time, as usual on all matters Of
this kind The REcoED-USIoN and the
interior press urged precisely that plan Just
year ago the current month, and there
after iterated the necessity for action, but
not san Francisco paper, with solitary
exception the Spirit Of tie Tines, paid
any attention to it, They ignored the
Presidents proclamation, the appeal Of the
Governor when he appointed Commits
sioner, the urgent requests Of the New Or
leans committee and the action Of the
State Agricultural Society. Now, at The
eleventh hour, they come forward and de-
clare that a good exhibit Of what We are
doing here in the manufacture Of all kinds
Of mining and other machinery, the max
ing Of blankets and cloths, the manufacture
Of fine furniture, the raising Of grain and
choice fruit. and the canning Of fruit and
vegetables - all TINS. properly arranged,
would be worth thousands Of dollars to the
business men and the farmers Of this State,
and the cost, when fairly divided among
the exhibitors, would be merely nominal -
It IS not possible now to do great deal
the time is too short. The New Orleans
fair, as We have shown, is NOT properly 4
worlds iair-it Is to he the fair Of q sec
ton, Just such as any city or State may
promote, 1t is rot properly an interna-
tional exposition, hut still it Is of moment
to as, and California can reap large bene-
fits from it. We need immigration. The
best way to induce it is to invite attention
to our products, capacities and advantages,
by seconding the methods of the railroad
companies, that have made exhibits at Va
rious State and European fairs Of Califor-
MIA products. The Central Pacific Railroad
Company has already gone to work to Sc
cure California representation at New Or
leans, and we should second that effort
also We can show very little in
the line Of manufacturing that viii induce
immigration What we most need is Z

maps Of land for sale, with prices stated,

lining SUITS PROPOSED.

IT IS proposed to improve the advantage
gained by the valley residents, and have
final suits, or one sweeping action, brought
to stop the deposition of mining debris in
the streams. There is no apparent reason
Why this should not b. done. The decis-
ions in the Gold Hill and Woodruff cases
viii be frJitless if their principles are not
to he generally applied. It is better for
the Valley and the mining regions alike
that all possible litigation be speedy iiti-
cation regarding hydraulic mining. There
is no consistency in stopping the operations
Of one mine that Is doing damage, and in
permitting Others to do like wrong. We
arc told THAI we need hope for nc national
aid to improve and preserve the naviga-
bility Of the rivers until We are able to es-
tatish that all legal remedies have been
exhausted to prevent the artificial impair
ment Of the streams This viii probably
be the settled National policy, and it IS
therefore the more important that the law
be invoked speedily and comprehensively,
to the end that all the parties concerned
may be the sooner rid of all trouble grow
ing out of the conflict between two State
ind 1stries.

CANNOT ACCOMMODATE.

The San Francisco Alta says: The
Sacramento correspondent of the CaU
makes a remarkable statement about the
refusal Of the radical Senators to pair with
Senator Reuter-, whose brother has died
at Santa Cruz, and who naturally wished
TO 90 to attend the funeral. Al the Sena-
tors supporting the radical measures of the
session were approached, and not one of
them would consent to a pair. If there IS
parallel to this case on the records of
any legislative body in the world, we would
like to know i" We are not sorry that we
cannot accommodate the tito and cite it
TO a parallel. The skirts of parliamentary
history are clear Of any such brutal record
up TO the time when 4 Democratic caucus
in California seized upon the IN
holy opportunity and in cold blood
bound It's members not TO pair with the
man who differed with them in view, and
desired the privilege Of giving his brother
decent sepulture. 1t remained for Re
publican radical Senator to rebuke this
inhumapity and pair with his brother
another evidence Of what Re
publicanism signifies in manly character.
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1884-05-10
PLAIN SPEAKING.

Senators there we're who did not fear on
Wednesday to call things 10y their right
names. For instance, one declared that i;
was cowardice en- the part Of the radical
anti-railroad men that prevented them
bringing in direct resolution to remove
the Railroad Commissioners. The charge
is justified by the record. These men we're
unwilling to bring the officers they accuse
Of rong-doinc to trial and face them in a
proper way, but sought to throw the whole
burden upon the people, by way OF a pro
posed constitutional amendment. Z the
Commissioners are guilty Of wrong, Of in
competency, Of bribe-taking, or anything
else Of evil, by all means lei them be re-
moved but not until they are tried and
convicted. The other plan, the radical
method Of displacement, was q cowardly
proposition, precisely as the Senator de-
nominated it. Very evidently that man
proposes TO do his own thinking. lie he
Iieyes probably that State Senator repre-
sents aQ the people, and is not the slave Of
political committees or eelf-appointed
leaders Of an ASSUMED cr,lsade-a raid in
which it happens all concerned are Briga-
diers, and all desire promotion.
Another Senator, who probably realizes
that Il legislator is commissioned to use his
best Judgment. and act as ne believes right
and Justice demands, Irrespective Of the
threats and appeals of a faction, had the
moral courage to denounce the lobby at
work in the halls OF legislation lobby
that seeks to hide its selfish and impure
purposes beneath garb OF assumed con
Germ for the interests Of the dear people
lie asks very poiutediy, Who are these
men, who hang about tue chambers, dog
the footsteps Of Legislators, paci, commit
tees, and engineer forced demonstrations
in public halls? These vile lobbyists, he
declared, did no; represent his constituency.
They could have found him at his place OF
business at any time before the extra ses-
sion began, and could have asccrtaiued in
two minutes Just how he stood lie pro
tested against these sleek fellows being
allowed 10 beat their tom-toins in the halls
Of the Capitol any4lonser. Still another
pronounced this whole extra session busi-
ness to be political claptrap, gotten up to
promote private ends.
So, 100, in the Assembly a representative
did not hesitate TO speak plainly on the al
legged tax compromise matter and declare
that whatever public sentiment there has
been upon this question has been caused,
in the main, t'y Misunderstanding Of the
facts Of these cases. lie charged not a
fourth Of the members Of the Assembly
understood the matter prior to their COM
ing up to the session. He even ventured
the assertion-and it was safe one-that
there are not many of The Assembly who
now understand the matter, and that when
the subject Is coolly considered, public sen
4iment viii be found to ne materially diff

RAILROADS N POLITICS.

One Of the chief topics upon which the
anti-railroad radical delights to dilate is
the activity Of railroad corporations in
y,olitics. 1t is a never-ending theme with
that class Of people. But they seldom, il
ever, get more than skin deep into the
subject. Whoever has given the matter
much dispassionate attention, must be con
yinced that in the majority OF cases rail-
road managers who have manifested an
interest for their corporations in political
matters, have been driven to it in self de-
tense. 1t may be safely stated that the
railroad companies OF the country would
moi lie found involved in political compli-
cations if the politicians did not force
Them TO it. Designing men of selfish
natures and mercenagy dispositions early
saw the advantages TO be gained by assail-
ing corporate interests, and putting a price
upon peace to be measured by the cost of
war, and they have never since failed to
avail OF It. There is neither a railroad
man nor q politician in the country who
does not know this to be true, and it is
probable that il is quite as clear 10 all in
teligent citizens. There is not a railroad
man in the land to-day, we take it, who
will not hail with delight any practicable
plan by which railway corporations can be
cat loose utterly from all political con
nections Of every kind and nature.
There is not railway manager living
who does not know that the best interests
Of his concern demand perfect indepen-
dence in this matter and vet who does not
realize the herculean task that must be
undertaken to assure such deliverance. OF
course the time viii come when the law
viii so fortify the rights of aggregated
capital invested in quasi-public indus
tries, 50 define the privileges Of their pro-
moters, and so adjust the relations between
them and the State that they will be in
trenehed against all possible assault 1t
IS simply question of time when this must
come about Commercial laws viii assert
themselves, the people will not always sub
NIT to this constant struggle between poll
ticians and corporations; they viii not al
ways endure the punishment they must take
in such contests. Either this will come
about Or corporate interests will cease TO
cooperate with the interests Of the people,
and the great carrier industries be launched
upon a still more troublous sea, that Of
State or national ownership, and which
the political harpy desires
from the bottom Of such heart as he has.
since It viii open up new avenues for him
10 reach the public purse and enlarge the
political patronage by dispensation of
which the political boss retains and aug
ments his power.
