TESTIMONY IN THE CASE.

1t has been repeatedly stated in these
columns that the high-license principle
land which is soon to be voted upon by the
electors of this city, as applied in the
State of Illinois, is successful in accom-
plishing all that is claimed for it. Rea-
soning from that premise, we have held
that the same application here will pro-
duce like results. These are: The closing
up of dives and low doggeries; the con-
servation of order; the lessening of ex-
penses attendant upon criminal Courts and
the maintenance of a police force, and the
increase of the domestic revenue to an ex-
tent that will largely lessen the burdens
upon the taxpayers, and open the door for
the investment of capital in the city,
which is now rigidly excluded by the high
rate of taxation. This latter item will
hundred-fold more than offset any tempo
rary depreciation in values owing to the
non-occupaney of houses the class of retail

cult becomes the problem. The sooner we
get rid of the cesspool nuisance the better
our chances for a prosperity meriting
high health rate. The speedier we are in
abandoning the pernicious practice Of
saturating the soil with house drainage, the
better for US on all scores. For the time
must come, and it approaches with in
creasing rapidity as the seasons come and
go, when the capacity of our soil-like a
full sponge-to absorb will have been ex-
hausted. If we permit that to occur we
shall be exposed to great danger in case of
the appearance of an epidemic of filth dis
ease. The soil once soured and saturated
with sewage, it cannot be purified in de-
cade after cessation of the practice. There
has been discussion enough and testimony
enough on the subject of city drainage to
fully inform all our people. The thing to
do now is to consider in a business way
how best and soonest we can apply rem
edies up to the full measure of the tax
payers financial capacity.

lief in a common benefit. Neither can
command what the other considers it his
interest to refuse, and transportation in
the same way is limited by the same re-
quirements. If there is not traffic sufii7
cient to pay expenses ard reward invest
ment fairly, investment will cease. Capt.
tai fixes its limit at the total cost of all the
service performed, while the shipper fixes
the opposite limit at the value Of the serv-
ice, and here the rule applies to
each shipment and at once. But
the railway company cannot deter
mine the cost of single shipment, for
obvious reasons. 1t is even extremely diff
ficult to say what is the cost of the car
rage of each class of traffic. All the rail-
way operator can do is to take freight at
the rate the shipper can send it with profit
to himself Hence it may carry goods at
rates less than the cost of the service. So
rate cannot be more than the value of
the service, but may be less than its cost.
Between these limits there is in practical
operation varying scale of rates, deter
mined by competition and various CONNER
cial forces. The kinds of competition are ::
of capital, parallel roads and water routes
to market, and the effort of the carrier to
increase its net income by increasing its
traffic with lower rates. Whenever, then,
there is a fair discrimination exercised in
fixing rates, it is based on one or more Of
these forms of competition. To the illus
tration of this proposition the article of
Mr. Lansing is devoted, taking the ground
that ''as competition is more potent regu-
lator of prices than all other forces, if dis
ordinations result from it, to prohibit
them must also interfere with COMPETE
ton" We cannot engage at this time in
further synoptical presentation of these
illustrations. We have given such an out
line of his Introductory statement, and his
premises and conclusions, as to convey to
the understanding a clear idea of the line
of the argument, and which he defends by
citation, statistical showing and the expe-
rience of railroad commissions.

NOT TO BE SENT EAST.
The Board of Directors Wisely Decide to
POSTPONE Eastern Exhibition.

The reasons set forth in the RECORD
UNION yesterday morning, why it would
not be wise to endeayor to transfer the
present citrus fruit exhibits to Chicago,
were found yesterday to be in consonance
with the sentiments of all who gave
thought TO the subject. The expression
was general against having the fruit, in its
present decaying condition, sent forward
as specimen products to be thrown into
competition with Riverside fruit. in its
prime Much of the fruit, it was very
properly said, had been picked sometime
before the fair held in the city, to preserve
it for exhibition, and was now over ripe
and would neither be desirable to the
eye nor the taste. While the Judgment
and expression of all leading citizens who
mentioned the subject was against having
the exhibit sent East, there was a feeling
of anxiety lest the very liberal and praise
worthy offer made by the railroad COM
panies 10 transport the fruit. and exhibit it
in Chicago free of cost, might lead to ac-
ceptance and prove in reality damage
rather than a benefit to northern Califor-
MIA, for reasons stated. n. D. Rideout
telegraphed to Mr.. Gallatin yesterday after
noon, advising not to make the Eastern
exhibit until fall. w. T. Coleman. of
Gan IIdllClsCO, Idu dlFeduV gwen
similar advice, from viewing the en-
tire situation, aud Mr.. Galatin, as
President of the Citrus Fair Society, gave
similar counsel to the other mem bers of the
Board of Directors. When he left San
Francisco, at 3 P. NJ, to come to Sacra.
mentO, he left with the Secretary, Dr.
Latham, a reiteration of his views, to be
given at the meeting of the. Board last
evening. In this city business men in gen.
eral, while anxious to have the capabilities
of northern California known at the East,
said they regarded it very unwise to force
an exhibit under present unfavorable cir
cumstances, and that il should be post
poned until next December.
The interest shown in the matter was
very marked, and the public will be glad to
learn by the dispatches from San Francisco
published this morning, that it has been
definitely and wisely determined to finally
close the present fair when it ends in San
Francisco. 1t is thought that it may be
kept open where it now is until the middle
of next week, that it may be visited by the
large number of excursionists now en-
route from the East to this coast.
This will be far better work, and
afford infinitely better results, than
TO make the useless endeavor to show
our fruit in its present condition in an
Eastern city, two months after the date it
should be exhibited, to demonstrate the
fact that our citrus fruits are marketable
early in December, or two months prior to
that of southern California; rightful
claim, which lies at the basis of our pre-
eminence over that section, and which has
been the chief theme during the recent dis
cussion as to the capabilities Of northern
California

KENTUCKY promises to take step in
advance. In her State Senate recently the
Committee on Penitentiary and Reform.
to which was referred the Senate joint res
olution in regard to the working OF con-
victs in mines and the abuses growing
therefrom, reported resolution recon-
mending that the committee be directed to
make thorough investigation into all
matters pertaining to the subject, and the
resolution was adopted. If the investiga-
ton is thorough and honest it will work
the conviction in every humane mind that
the Southern system of leasing convict
labor is inhuman, opposed to all ideas and
experiences of penal reform, and calcu-
lated to increase crime and augment vastly
the outcasts of society and those desperate
ones whose hands are turned against all

OUTSIDE of all parliamentary law, and
examined under the light of simple rea-
soning, the demand of the United States
Senate to be permitted to examine any
and all papers filed with any department
OF the Government is invincible. If the
houses of Congress do not possess this I'M
qualified right, then the people have
erected authority greater than themselves.
The legislative body is the supreme rep
resentative of the sovereign. No official
whatever can lock up the archives of his
office and deny the right of that body to
examine them, without assuming an at
titude Of rebellion.

silk Worm Eggs and Mulberry Cuttings.


EDS. REcoRD-UN The State Board
of Silk Culture has received a letter from
the Director of the Governmental Baco-
logical Institute of Tuscany, Italy, offering
to donate this Board small quantities of
silk-worm eggs of superior races. The
Board will distribute these eggs among
those who send in applications for same.
Also number Of choice variety of null
berry cuttings, imported from Italy, will
be distributed among those who wish to
engage in rearing silk worms. These cut
tlngs are of the Cattameo species; they have
an abundance of foliage and do not bear
any fruit, thus all the substance goes to the
leaves There will be only limited num-
Der of these cuttings imported therefore,
those applying first will receive them, as
the applications for eggs and cuttings will
be attended to in the order received. Re-
specially, MRs. LOUISE RIENzI.

CHINESE merchants in San Francisco
have raised 81 600, and paid it over to the
Chief of Police, to be used in securing the
arrest of the murderer of the Wickersham
family. OF course they were led to this
action by the desire to shield the Chinese in
the State, so far as is possible, from the
angry resentment of the people, and to
show that the better class of Cinnamon
have no sympathy with Chinese criminals
Yet it is certain that had the Chinese de-
sired they could have stopped the man in
the State. They knew of the crime and
placarded the Chinese quarter in San
Francisco with the details OF it twenty
four hours before the San Francisco
authorities heard of the assassinations.
There were several Chinese persons who
knew who the murderer was, and had they
shown ordinary diligence they could have
prevented his boarding the China steamer.
But the belief is now that the fellow will
be captured at the first port into which the
ship puts, and the money raised by the
Chinese merchants will contribute 10 that
