KILLING OF RAILROADS. SUICIDAL.-Ex-
ira sessions, Stockton conventions, wild
speeches by men of local note and wilder
publications by men of no note, and dis
position in a noisy minority of our peo-
pie to wreak vengeance on railroad enter
prises, without justice to private interests
or judgment towards the public, preceded
accompanied and followed by reduced
travel, decreased freight movement, and
hence lessened revenues, have induced such
a feeling of caution on the part of capital
lists in Europe, that railroad building has
come to an end for the present in this State
From this cause and crippled earnings, rail-
road expenditures in every branch are
smaller than they have been for several
years This cessation of building and of
every Improvement that can possibly be
avoided, discharge of every employee that
could be spared and postponement of all
merited advances, if not actual reduction in
wages, have had their effect on the COM
merce of this city and at a most inoppor-
tune tines. f. Herald of Trade.

THE STATE PRISON SUPPORT.

In the appropriation bill introduced In
the Assembly by DR. May on the 18th
inst, the item for the support of the State
Prisons has an unusual significance. San
Quentin asks for S26O,00O, and the State
Prison at Folsom for $4,000; total,
$4,000. The question naturally arises,
whether, if these prisons were CONSOLE
dated, or had never been divided, this large
deficit would have been required. Simple
respect for all that is reasonable in proba-
bility obliges us to answer this question in
the negative; and further, the inquiry in
trudes itself, what has become Of the jute
works which were to make the San QUEEN
tin Prison self-sustaining and the stone
works, which were to make the Folsom
Prison self-sustaining? Unfortunately, the
answer is, that the jute works at San QUEEN
tin are dead, and that the stone works at
Folsom are by no means on the highway
toward making that institution self-sup-
porting The jute works were failure
from the start. They were never anything
but a failure The prediction that that
establishment would encourage the growth
of lutte fiber in the State, was founded upon
ill-considered theory. The investigation
made by the special commission appointed
by Governor Perkins, exposed the fallac.es
of this theory, and predicted rate on sacks
due to the competition from India, so low.
that even by cheap prison labor the manu-
facture of burlaps would be Improbable in
this State That prediction has been full
filled in every detail. Grain sacks from
the manufacturers on the Hoogly river are
imported and sold at a rate which leaves
but small margins over the cost of the raw
material That material, like the burlap,
must itself be imported The freight rate
upon the material is greater than upon the
sacks, because the waste is carried. Upon
the whole, but small progress has been
| made in the direction Of developing a
situation which affords even 4 ray OF hope
that the State Prisons in California will
reach better financial basis than at pres
ent in the next quarter century.

RAILROADS AND SAN FRANCISCO
MERCHANTS.

The San Francisco Herald Of Trade says ::
"The merchants of San Francisco know
this, that every blow struck at railroads by
politicians, not only Injuries the credit of
the companies, but hurts business-their
business, and prevents the companies Civ
ing them that additional and cheaper ac-
commodation which is absolutely necessary
to the growth of this city" This is true,
abstractly, as to the results stated but the
Herald is sadly mistaken us to the knowl-
edge of the San Francisco merchants re-
garding the inevitable results of dema-
gogic assaults upon the transportation in
terests. The San Francisco merchant
should know just what the Herald assumes
he does. But as matter of fact he does
not If he has any glimmering conception
OF the truth he has the strongest way
imaginable of manilesting his faith in it.
The Herald, however, gets down to the bed
rock of truth as it proceeds hut in vein
strangely at variance with the premises
stated, when it says, . More than anything,
this city needs direct railroad communica-
ton with Oregon. This year it world
have been worth million or more'of trade
to our merchants, and that the gap over
the mountains of 100 miles mas not been
closed, is due to California political con-
vnntiOns Rai}road Commissioners pvtra sos
sions and Stockton orgies, and, we admit
with shame, to the blindness of our mer-
chants in not seeing ahead, and their
weakness IN not asserting their rights as
men of high standing, commercial educa-
cation and large interests in the present
welfare and future prosperity of the coast." "
