TOURIST TRAVEL.
Pressure on the Railroad Companies for
Rolling Stock.
IS. F. Bulletin, April 18th. |

10 +. bulletin, April 18th.
There was little squirt in railroad bust
ness to-day, owing to the arrival of the
steamer from Australia on Saturday: but
overland travel from this State has practi-
cally ceased except in the case of Eastern
people returning home. The baggage
transfer offices are packed with trunks, and
large forces are on duty at all the hotels
handling luggage. Travel to the Yosemite,
Monterey, Santa Cruz, the Geysers and
other points of interest will be heavy dur
ing the pleasant weather which has at last
come, and, it is hoped, to stay. The rush
of people from the East to California still
continues, and at the ticket office here
where rebates are paid it is probable that
the amount of money being paid out
equals, If not exceeds. that taken for the
sale OF East-bound tickets. A short time
ago two thousand passengers found them
selves at Omaha waiting for transporta-
ton to California. The railroads were
even then hard pressed for accommoda-
tons, cars having been put in use that
had long been laid by, and other cars Dor
rowed from other roads. To furnish trans
portation for this great army of tourists
the Central Pacific Company pressed into
use some excursion cars run between this
city and the Santa Cruz Mountains and
Monterey. They were such cars as were
built to run over this road at all seasons of
the year, and for this purpose were as
comfortable as can well be. But what was
good for the climate of California during
winter proved anything but comfortable
when run on the overland road and in a
climate approximating that of the East.
The people who travelled in them were halt
frozen with the cold. and there being here
no need for much of anything except COM
Portable seats to sit on. sides to keep out
the dust, and windows to let in the light
they were found to be totally inadequate to
keep out specimens of Eastern climate
which had got as far West as Utah and
Nevada. But upon arriving in the Sacra.
mento valley the tourists were thawed out
and are now doubtless waiting for summer
before going East

THE HAWAIIAN TREATY.

However much the opponents of the
Hawaiian treaty may endeavor to prove
that the convention is injurious to our
trade the evidences remain that but for
that treaty we should be sold out to the
sugar dealers of the East, and our sugar
trade placed at their mercy. We get
sugar from the islands now because of the
treaty, and without it we should not
secure it, much less reap revenue reward
by customs taxes while as to possible trade
of other kinds, it cannot be shown that
we would have any without the treaty
that would amount to much Two wears
ago we presented the facts and figures
proving this, and they were not and could
not be controverted. Since then we have
repeated them until they have become an
cid story. But there are other reasons
than those found in sugar import why the
treaty should be retained Our augmented
trade is one of the chief, but a greater still
Is found in the fact that the instant we
abrogate the treaty the islands will
virtually pass under the control of a
foreign country, England probably, and
that is a thing the United States cannot
calmly contemplate The plea Is set up
that We do not need special harbor
privileges in the islands in time of peace
and that in time of war the strongest will
command them. This is on a par with the
argument that the roof does not need re.
pairs in dry season, while they cannot be
made when it rains because Of the wet
weather. If it were needed we could here
produce from the reports of the Bureau Of
Statistics numberless figures establishing
that our trade relations with the kingdom
are dependent upon the treaty, and that
its abrogation would be serious blow tc
our commerce. The matter has recently
been deliberately argued by the chief COM
mercial body of San Francisco. which en-
tered Its protest against repeal. Senator
Stanford in announcing his opposition ia
the proposed abrogation, reflects the burden
OF business wisdom of the coast, and testi-
lies to his own clear judgment of the needs
OF the nation in its relations with Hawaii
and the vital Importance of retaining a
compact with the island kingdom that
half dozen other nations covet.

The San Francisco Aho approves plan
proposed for adjusting the obligations of
the Central Pacific Railroad Company to
the Government. Itpoints out that the COM
Pany occupies a very different position to
that of the Union Pacific. The latter was
created a company by the Federal Govern
ment, the former by the State of CaIifor-
MIA, but the Thurman Act elassed the
roads together in providing for sinking
fund from net proceeds to meet the inter
est and principal of the Governments en-
dowment and loan The Central. however.
was State corporation, borrowing credit
secured by the Federal Government. The
Thurman Act involved all the questions of
operating expenses, and opened the door
for demagogic assaults and tinkering. The
plan the Alta favors is the division of
whatever the obligations of the road to the
Government may aggregate into one hun
dred and twenty equal parts, represented
By so many bonds, bearing the same rate OF
sh@t BOnUS pear.
One of these bonds would become due
every six months, with penalties for non
payment. This plan, it holds. will elm
mate from Government consideration all
the questions of operating expenses, net
earnings, investment of sinking funds, etc.
In other words, the Aita holds that the
reduction of the whole matter to a flat
sum payable in installments, will be the
wisest and best course for the Government
and for the road, and will in no wise les
sen, but rather augment the security, while
it will remove from Congressional and po-
litical fields all those questions which are
now made hobby-horses for ambitious
smail-fry politicians and stalking dema-
gogues.

The low rates of fare due to the hot OPP
position between rival transeoniiDental
lines, has oyertaxed the capacity of the
roads on some days. With thousands
travelling in stormy winter, where before
only few score moved, it is not at all a
m liter of surprise that there should be
some discomfort, some inability to give
every one due attention, some failure to
keep heavy trains on time, to make oon-
nsctions regularly, or TO always reach
points at meal hours where there is cana
city 10 feed the multitude. Every one
having horse sense realizes these facts.
I'd knows they cannot be avoided. But
the San Francisco Chronicle, solicitous to
be known as keeping up its anti-railroad
war, devotes long article to series of
growls, because in the crush of transporta-
on the order and ease is not preserved
that is possible when trains are not over

Governments bonded promise furnishing
the necessary capital. On the part of the
tenants their rent is to pay for the fee in
the tracts in perio's varying from fifteen
to twenty-five years. 1t is a bill to break
up absentee landlordism in Ireland, and
which has been, more than any other cause,
the source of the woes of that distracted
island. When this ulcer in the industrial
muscles of Ireland ceases to exist,
the capacity of the Irish will be put to
the test. England can afford to try the
experiment.
