ANoTnER STEAMSHIP LINE.

1t is announced on Change that the Cana
dian steamer Abyssinia, which is adver-
tiSed to sail from Hong-Kong for VancOu-
yer next Wednesday, will take passengers
and freight for this port and will arrive
here about August 10th, after having
touched at Vancouver en- route. In other
words, the Canadian steamers propose to
make Vancouver way station, their real
eastern terminus being San Francisco.
There is nothing surprising in this. 1t has
been all along clear to men of business that
if the Canadian steamers really proposed
to become carriers on the Pacific they must
sail between ports which have something
20 exchange. Vancouver has nothing but
ballast to fill up ships with, and nothing
can be done with goods dumped on its
wharves unless they are consigned to the
other side Of the continent.
An idea appears to prevail in some minds
that trade can be created by the fiat of COM
panieS or legislatures. This is delusion.
Points which are producers and consumers
Of merchandise can exchange them, and
afford employment TO steamers or railroads,
but points which are neither producers nor
consumers have nothing to exchange, and
no traffic can exist between them. The
seaports of British Columbia are mere geo
graphical entities. They have no surplus
of any kind of goods to send abroad, nor
are they distributing points for a country
possessing consumptive capacity. 4 single
schooner, sailing once year, could supply
British Columbia with most of the Asiatic
merchandise the colony could use; there is
scarcely exportable produce enough in the
colony to load a yearly schooner for China
or Japan. To expect line OF steamers be-
tween Vancouver and Hong-Kong to earn
money enough to pay the yictual Of the
crews is TO ignore the first principles of
trade. If the steamers are to earn any le-
gitimate charter money they must come
here.
It is said on change that the action of the
Canadian Pacific people will lead to dec
laratiOn Of war by the Pacific Mail and the
o. and o. Company. That is matter with
which the public has no concern. Shippers
TO China will gain If freights are reduced,
but the gain resulting from rate wars is
generally offset by increased charges when
the wars are over. Whether there is bust
ness enough between this por: and Yoke
hama and Japan to support three lines of
steamers may be a question. Ii there is
not the weakest line viii 90 to the wall.
The Canadian Pacific has over its rivals
the advantage that it is strategic rather
than a commercial line. We notice that the
Colonel OF a British regiment now stationed
at HOng-KOng has received orders to move
his regiment To England by way of the Ca
madam Pacific steamers and railway in
order to determine the question how long it
would take to move troops from the home
depot TO China in case of war. Such a use
for the combined sea and land line con-
templates the payment by the British tax
payer of any loss which it may incur in its
business.

CASH BAIL.

In accord with the general law that no
distinction shall be made in our courts be-
tween persons in the pursuit of justice,
Judge Wallace has decided that cash bail
from Chinese cannot lawfully be exacted.
But it does not follow that every scrap of
paper with Chinese signature attached
should be accepted as lawful bond. The
Court has right to know that the bond is
good and can be collected in case the per-
son released does not appear at the ap-
pointed time. The trouble has been in the
past that everything offered has been ac-
cepted The law requires good bonds to be
accepted, and Judge could not well say
that it does not; but greater care should be
exercised in the examination OF bonds of
farnd

ON THE wARPATH AGAIN.

Governor Waterman's attacks on Mr..
Markham, over his own signature and in
the columns of the paper which his secre-
tary runs, have given the candidate from
Los Angeles a strength which he did not
possess before they appeared The re-
Spouse to his circular letter was the selec-
ton Of an instructed delegation from the
county of Los Angeles. The diatribe in
BOruck's sheet will not deter Republicans
from supporting a gentleman whom the
Governor thinks it so vitality necessary to
Stay. Governor Waterman is such tyrO in
politics that he does not understand that a
malignant attack sometimes helps the man
who is attacked better than praise.
The Republican party is by no means
reduced to the alternative of Water
man or Markham. No section of the
State can be said to be entitled to the
nomination. While it is true that the bulk
of the majorities in 1888 came from south
ern counties, the fact does not require the
party 10 set all other aspirants aside in IA
vor Of one from the south. The claim some
times made that the southern counties are
being settled by immigrants from Republi-
can States should he examined in the light
of recent election returns from those States.
There is but one OF two States in the Union
in which the Republican majority is over 2
per cent Of the whole. In other words there
will be about forty-eighU Democrats from the
Republican States to fifty-two Republicans.
There is no reason to assume that the
average man changes his politics when he
changes his home. 4 candidate from the
northern OF central counties should not be
handicapped in the convention by an inti-
nation that Republicans from the southern
counties viii not vote for him. Delegates
from all the counties in the State will make
a selection Of candidate, and it is eX-
pected that unless the selection is bad one
Republicans from all counties viii support
the nominee.
The Republican State Convention which
will meet next month will probably be able
te discharge its duties without advice from
any quarter. Least of all it Will need coun-
sci from a gentleman who became Governor
by an untoward accident, and who has ad-
ministered the office in such way as TO
bring ridicule ON himself, injury on his
party and disgrace on his State. Ii will
hardly expect to find q mentor in one who
deliberately commended a filibusiering raid
on a friendly power, and who, like bull in
a china shop, goes laundering round blindly,
falling foul first Of one official then of
another. only to be Tepulsed with scornful
laughter. 1t may be that it will determine
on some other standard-bearer than Mr..
Markham, and if so, it is to be hoped that
southern Republicans will rise above petty
local pIoyincialism; but, in no event, is it
likely to be influenced by the impertinent

TIE CONFERENCE SILVER BILL.

The bill agreed upon in Conference Com
mittee now goes to the House. Two of the
three House members of the committee
signed the report, and it is probable that
the bill will receive nearly all the Republic
can votes in the House. The debate in the
Senate has not hurt the bill. Democratic
Senators who opposed it have placed them
selves in the position of few extreme gold
men who likewise oppose it. They say
that they favor free coinage, but vote
against measure which the best friends
Of silver admit is almost certain to raise the
price Of silver bullion to its old ratio to
gold. The Tribune makes a point about
the bin which will not pass without exam
nation. That journal contends that no
. purchases are required beyond the quantity
which may be offered each month at market
prices. This is a construction of law which
. probably will not be accepted in the Treas
ury Department. The main requirement
of the bill is that 4, &c., 900 ounces of silver
shall be purchased. The market price is
what it may be. The market price for any
preceding month is not TO be accepted as a
limit to the possible price the succeeding
month. The Tribune says that IN the ab-
sence Of any law fixing the mode of deter
mining the market price, the Secretary is
obviously required to consider the price in
one or more foreign markets. The Tribune
is apparently trying TO make the bill pala-
table to tie Eastern gold bugs. The market
price of silver is what silver can be bought
for. II the purchase Of 100000 ounces a
month cause an advance in the market
price Of silver bullion. the Treasury will
naturally be expected to accept the lowest
that is offered. This is the rule that would
be adopted in filling a private order. The
object Of the bill is to cause an advance in
silver, and there is no limit placed upon the
price to be given until silver has reached
its legal ratio to gold

\ Convict Runs Away From the House
of Correction.
One of gang of four prisoners at work
in quarry about half mile from the
House of Correction attempted to escape
Thursday afternoon, but was overtaken
after run of three miles.
The men were in charge of Guard Tom
Allen, when the prisoner who made a
break for liberty sneaked away and rolled
down an embankment into ravine. This
mans name is Moran, an eX-c0nvict with a
bad record. Allen ordered the other men
at the point of his rife to pursue N oran,
giving them to understand that if they tried
TO run away he would shoot them. They

EDITORIAL NOTES.

One of the means of coast defense to
which considerable attention has been de-
voted by the naval service is the torpedo,
which, it is calculated, will prove of vau-
able service in the event of trouble in the
future. Owing to the absence of suitable
coast defense vessels and lOng-range rifles
Of large caliber, Government engineers in
planning for the defense of this city have
been compelled TO rely in great measure
upon this engine of destruction. That the

operated. is pretty effective weapon Of de-
tense has just been demonstrated by ex-
periments in the presence of the British
Secretary for War and number of military
and naval experts off the Isle of Wight.

meet her. The officer directing the expert

TO BEAT M'KINLEY.

The redistricting of Ohio has been con-
Quoted partially with view to throw Nc
Kinley into Democratic district. The
Democrats seem to be especially afraid of
both Reed and Mckinley, but as the latter
has the advantage of living in a Republi-
can State, he cannot be gerrymandered out
OF Congress. There is a big fight in the
Democratic Convention for the honor of
beating Mckinley in November. Fifty. four
ballots have been taken. with no other re-
suit than to kill off some Of the weaker
aspirants. AT last accounts the leaders
were about tied. Mckinley will be NOM
mated when the Republican Convention
meets, but with no very solid hopes of re-
election.

BAIL FOR HIGHBINDERS.

Judge Wallace Holds That Bonds Must
Be Accepted When Presented.
Lee QuOng and Leong Low, highbnders.
were arrested on the 9th inst. for carrying
weapons concealed, and Police Judge
Joachimsen refused bail, unless $1,000 in
cash was deposited.
Judge Wallace was then appealed to, and
he issued a writ Of habeas corpus for the
prisoners, returnable yesterday. After the
case was argued the Judge decided that the
lower courts must accept bondsmen, and
remarked that the District Attorney had
the option OF demanding sureties who are
property holders.
The control OF lawlessness in Chinatown
is a difficulty that proves a nightmare to
the police officers. The festive Monaghan,
