TIE s1o,ooo,ooo BOND ISSUE.

It was not by accident that the Chronicle
gave the outline of a scheme to issue bonds
to the amount of S10,00O000 and to devote
the proceeds to much-needed improve
meuts." The scheme has been thoroughly
matured, and in sly sort of way viii prob
ably be submitted to the Republican Munich
pal Convention. The convention will not,
of course. be asked to indorse the scheme,
but simply to accept candidates who are
known to favor it. At seine future time,
when national and State politics are not
involved, THE CALL would like to see the
$40, 100000 proposition submitted to the peo-
pie. We would like to have its advocates
let the public know precisely what they pro-
pose to do with the 100000 when they get
it. When people vote upon projects OF this
nature they should act uron a thorough I'M
Outstanding of all the facts that 90 10 deter
mine its character. 1t would not be possible
to spend S10,000,000 in emhellishing the city
without doing some good with it. Improve
ments would necessarily be made which
would greatly advance the value of private
property. The bond issue would not be
opposed on the ground that property
would be benefited by it; but 1t would be
vigorously opposed if it should appear that

view at the expense of the city. We do not
think, however, that any man who really
desires the success of the Republican State
and Congressional ticket will spring such
scheme upon the Republican Convention at
the present time The bond proDO sition is
one for purely municipal consideration. 1t
has no connection whatever with national
politics. Republicans will favor it and Dem
oerats will oppose it. Taxpayers and nom
taxpayers will be on the same side of the
proposition. 1t is a scheme which any man
has right to support if in his judgment it
is good for the city. But it is scheme
which should be carefully defined and de-
liberately discussed. If it is thrown into the
Republican Municipal Convention this year,
either through the nomination of ticket
known to favor it or by resolution making
it an issue in the campaign, it will greatly
impair the present excellent chances oil Re
publican success. Nothing would please
Buckley better than to set the Republicans
10 fighting over the bond proposition. lie
knows that in fair fight with the Republic
can party any ticket he can nominate will
fail to command the full strength of the
Democratic party. But if the Republicans
will kindly divide on a b md proposition he
might be able to beat even the stronger
wing of the party.

WHERE RECIPROCITY ENDS.


Colonel Albert Clark, Secretary of the.
Boston Home Market Club, has followed
reciprocity into the free-trade camp. AS re-
ported by free-trade paper he has declared
that he would admit free of duty every
product of a foreign country which can be
produced abroad more cheaply than it can
be produced in this country, providing the
producing country should in reciprocation
Of our proposal admit through its Custom
house some of our products which can he
produced here cheaper than there. This is
reciprocity with vengeance. Ii Europe
will take our grain, our cotton. our petro-
leum and other articles of raw material, we
will allow Europe to send US finished goods
without duty. Unless the Secretary of the
Boston Home Market Club has been misrep-
resented he should run up the free-trade flag
without further ventilation of his opinions.
He INDUCES in some talk about protecting
the labor engaged in the production of arti-
cles IN this country, but without informing
us how such labor can be protected except
by the imposition of duties on foreign goods.
Mr.. Blaine will not probably take much
pride in the convert to reciprocity which
he appears to have made. The pupil has
gone beyond the teacher. Reciprocity,
closely defined and limited to the admission
free of articles which we do not produce,
may have some claim to consideration, but
such reciprocity as Mr.. Clark proposes is no
better than out and out free trade.

by the main line Of the Atchison, there is
wide gap. which the new purchaser pro-
poses to bridge by the Colorado Midland,
running from Colorado Springs TO Grand
Junction, and by a trackage arrangement
with the Denver and Rio Grande from
Pueblo to the springs. At Ogden another
traekage arrangement will give the Atchson
a connection via the Southern Pacl1c COM
pany's lines to San Francisco.
When the Atlantic and Pacific bought
from the Southern Pacific the line across
the Colorado Desert. it acquired the right to
use the track of the vendor from Mojave to
this city.
Whenever country fills up with settlers
so that all, or nearly all, the agricultural
land is under cultivation, il pays for COM
panies to parallel existing lines at Intervals
of thirty to forty miles. As a general rule,
it does not pay to raise farm produce at
distance of over fifteen or twenty miles from
railroad or water transportation; and as
fast as that limit is passed in the interior
country a new line of road is called for
Thus the Southern Pacific is paralleling its
main line from San Joaquin County to
Fresno, and it will not be long before 1t VIII
have to parallel its coast branch from Ala
media to Monterey.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail-
road Company, by its connection with
Ogden, will gain some advantages, for it
can use the Union Pacific Railroad and its
branches both northwardS and eastward, as
well as the connection with Oregon and
Washington by the Union Pacifc's short
line in that direction. We do not imagine.
however, that the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe will be deferred for much length
of time in making a connection with San
Francis co via the San joaquin Valley.

cAL1FoRN1A REPRESENTATIVE.

We notice that Representative Clunie is at
santa Cruz electoneering for reelection to
Congress. 1t seems singular that this gentle
nan absents himself from Congress willie a
q easure is pending in WHICH the inhabit-
hts Of California have important interests
{ stake-no less than a measure which, if
naeted into a law, will be worth millions of
-l liars to our citizens. The Tariff Bill,
should it become a law and be continued in
i1lce Tor the next ten or twenty years, viii
re worth to California hundreds of millions
+ dollars. There is no knowing, in fact,
hat changes the sGgar-beet industry will
arinE about. California, under the law, will
lave the privilege of importing machinery
1gr the Manufacture OF sugar duty free: and
IS we have lands which, with the popularity
of or climate, produce the greatest per-
certage Of sugar, il is not unlikely that Cali
fornia may become in a short time wealthy
from this one interest alone. We anticipate
the time. when beet-root sugar factories VIII
be established all over the State where tue
beet con lie probably grown. What an i'm
poriant interest it may become has as yet
scarcely entered into the Imagination Of our
citizens One and three-fourths and two
cents pound to be paid by the Government
as a bounty on sugar must be a great thing
for an industry which could even pay ex-
penses without any protection. Our oranges
are also protected; indeed, nearly all the
productions of this State which are peculiar
to our climate are protected. Even barley
is pro ected against importations from
Canada, which is of considerable co Sc
quence. Mr.. Clunie leaves Congress when
a single vote might be necessary to pass the
bill.
The provision of the Tariff Bill which
will permit the fertilization of sweet wines
free from taxation on the brandy which
must be used is matter of considerable i'm
poriauce to the State. Indeed, nothing
could occur which would tend to give new
life to business in California more than the
b Il which is now pending and which we
should naturally expect California members
in Congress 10 watch with a great degree of
interest. Mr.. Cllnie, however, leaves Wash
ington. He comes home 10 attend Buckley's
convention and then loiters about, not SEEM
ing to care for the interests of his constitu-
ents. while a measure is pending which in
wolves hundreds Of millions of dollars for his
State. lie could vote directly against the
Silver BIZ, which was another measure of
importance to our citizens. Clunie could
also 30 to New York to receive and extol
Boss Buckley, but he could not remain in
Washington when a bill was pending which
Ne must have known was Of surprising i'm
portance. So much for Democratic candi-
Gate for reelection to Congress.

ronEIeN owNEKsn1r OF LAND.

The House Committee which reported the
bill prohibiting aliens from acquiring lands
hereafter in the United States made some
startling statements in justification of its
report. The number of millions of acres
held by aliens who reside abroad is not
known, but the committee had evidence to
show that one English syndicate owns 3.0oO,-
600 acres in Texas. another owns 2.OoO. 600 in
Florida, a third owns 100000 in Mississippi.
The Holland Land Company owns 4, 500 600.
while individuals hold tracts varying from
1,750C00 to 100000 acres. One Ergiishman,
who resides in his native country, derives
100000 year from land in Illinois. When
there are two horses in Stable it is wise to
lock the door after one is stolen. II would
have been wiser 10 lock it before either had
been taken, but it is better to be little
wise thar not wise at all. Alien land own
ership is an evil of gigantic proportions. 1t
permits men to draw rents in proportion to
the productive es1acity Of our country.

with the benefits Of the market created by
our protective policy. and to spend their
revenues abroad. The investment of for
eign money in our industries is, in many re-
spects. Objectionable, but the ownership of
our lands by aliens is a much greater evil.
1t is to be hoped that the bill before the
House will become law.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The borrors OF the African slave trade are
graphically described in a late report OF the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs. 1t Is esti-
mated that his evil, which has existed for many
hundreds Of years in Africa, destroys over 1000
human lives every day. The territory covered
by this trade in the Dark Continent Is twice as
large as all tie States in this Union, and 1t Is
considered a moderate estimate that the number
OF victims received each year at the dlHerent
markets is as follows: Western SoudaD. 15.ooo;
Eastern Soudan, %, 600; central region, 4o,ooO;
total 10000. To these should be added those
who perish by the way, those killed In the raids
upon the villages and those who die afterward
from priyation. Livingstone believed the average
was ten to one, but the report OF the committee
states il that were reduced one Daf II would APP
pear that al least 100000 lives were thus de-
stroyed In Central Africa every year. While
those who are captured by native chiefs and
taken by foreigners as matter OF COM
merce are transported long distances, a vast
number / m in ia the center of Africa employed
as domestic and farm servants, or for cannibal-
ism and human sacr fees The report concludes
with the intimation that the occupation OF the
country by Europeans and the suppression of
the use and sale Of firearms would seem from
the evidence TO be the most expeditions methods
TO suppress this trade.
The records of the Patent Office show that
American Ingenuity has scored marked ad-
vance on the progress OF previous years, the
applications for patents. trade marks and other
rights having amounted to As, lao against 49,
o47 for the preceding year. The receipts of
SI,347, 203 and expenditures of Sl,oS1, 173 left
surplus Of S1S6.859. The balance to the credit
of the Patent Fund is now S4,79o.5 sos. What won
derful progress do nearly half a million patents
granted since 1887 record!
Sieno-telegraphy is a new system OF communi-
cation that is attracting some attention In
France. The inventor, NJ Cassagnes claims to
be able to telegraph direct bya single wire mani
fold reports OF speeches, either in short or long
hand. The instrument resembles typewriter,
but is more difficult of manipulation. With it
the inventor says he can transmit 175 words a
minute.
