THE new charter will require Coun-
cilmen to devote their whole time to
the business of the city. That fact
alone will exclude from the position
business men such as have heretofore
been willing to serve. No business
m an of any standing can afford to
aba ndon his bus ness 1or he would
have to do so) for even the
very fine salary offered. Two
hundred and fifty dollars a
month would not compensate a
merchant or other busy man to devote
his whole time to the business Of the
city. Therefore, the Office OF Council
man would, under the proposed
charter, be relegated 10 class of men
who have little or nothing to do. The
pot house politicians would loom up
as the City Fathers, and our muni-
cipal affairs would be in the hands Of
the needy and irresponsible class. 1t
is easy to foresee what would follow.

The winter is past, the flowers bloom
in the spring, long pleasant summer
seemed to lie before us. And just as
we were thinking Of picnics, summer
vacations and fishing excursions, the
wires bring us the disheartening news
that Kearney, whose name is Denis,
has shaken the dust of wicked Wash
ington from his brogue, and is on his
way back, to turn loose on
our unoffending ears the music OF his
bazoo! He could get no hearing on
the Chinese question at the National
Capital, and he is coming home to
tell his people" Now if he would
only talk indoors, and confine his
plants to ''his people, !" the rest of us
would be we'll content, for it would
take a very small corner of very
small room to hold Kearney's people,

IMPORTANT SANTA FE CHANGE
Colonel Charles CrOcker and A. N
TOwne to Arrive in the Morn
ing-Other Gossip.

Considerable talk was caused in railroad
circles in this city yesterday by rumor
which gained consid erable circulation, but,
which could not be verified. The substance
OF the rumor was to the effect that the man
agement of the Southern Pacific Company
would be split, and that two General Super
intendents would exist hereafter, instead Of
only one, as at present The idea is that by
dividing the general Superinten deneg of the
system at Lathrop, or some place along the
line of the road in that vicinity, better
control could be gained. In case the divi-
sion Is made, SO the rumor states, Mr.. j. A.
Fillmore, the present General Superinten-
dent, will remain in San Francisco ar d have
charge OF that part of the system north
of Lathrop. Mr.. K. H. Pratt, now Assistant
General Superintendent, is to have charge
of all the lines in Southern California, with
head quarters in this cit'. The rumor fur
| thermore states that the division will be
made on May LIST, a, d that Mr.. Pratt will at
once come here and commence tre duties
| of the office. The HERALD's representative
overheard two prominent railroad men
speaking about the subject, one said: when
was in the city, (meaning San Francisco)
heard man who knows, say that the
change would positively be made on May
the first" The officials in this city were
questioned on the subject, and said they
knew nothing about the matter.
MR.. c. p. HUNTINGTON
Colonel Charles Crocker, A. N. Towne und
J. A. Fillmore will arrive in this city to-
morrow morning at S:45 o'clock, and after
being joined by Mr.. Thomas Stillman, OF
this neighborhood, the party will at once
proceed to San Diego and look into the
| question of building a line of road to that
city. Mr.. Huntington left Ell Paso Weines-
| day morning, and is due to arrive in this
| city tonight a. $50 O'Clock. Col. Crocker
| and General Manager Towne will come down
| from San Francisco in their SPECIAL car on
| train No. IL, which is due to arrive at S:45
| tomorrow morning. Chief Engineer Hood
is quoted as having stated that very fine
route had been found to Ssn Diego starting
| from Santa Ana and running through Or
ange, Tustin and the San joaquin rancho
touching at Cceanside, Del Mar and other
points on the new line of the Santa Fe to
San Diego. Other things will be inspected
during the trip. The party will look oyei
the works arSan Pedro, the new depot, the
site of the shops and also give particular at
tention to many outlines OF proposed exten

hers of the House of Representatives
asked for information regarding public
lands of some sort or other. Mr..
Buch a nan, of New Jersey, wished for
light on the frauds alleged to have
been perpetrated in California red
wood lands. Mr.. White, presumably
the one from Indiana, wanted instruc-
ton as to timber lands, without limit
of territory or specification OF kind.
Mr.. Peters, of Kansas, wanted to
know about delays in entries OF pub
lie lands, and Mr.. Anderson, another
Congressman from Kansas, wanted to
know about land granted to Pacific
railroads. To this last was tagged a
bill declaring forfeit all such lands
not earned. 1t is refreshing
to see four Republican states
men rise and beg to be
posted on these interesting subjects.
The bill OF forfeiture is also a notable
example Of change Of base, if not of
heart, on the part of these illustrious
patriots. Nothing has happened for

perchance. it be Senator Sherman's
proposition to negotiate new treaty
of exclusion with China. How dis

been when they learned-what they

China had been under consid-
GRAFTON for many months, and
that it was ready for the
approval of the Senate, and
that bill for the forfeiture of these
lands was already before the proper
comm ittee, and nearly ready to re-
port to the House! These spas
