gentleman is quoted So saying in re-

the material development Of the
South has reached its climax, and ere
ne in danger of reaction :,
"By no means. We are just get
ting under Roadway. The South is
the favored spot OF the whole United
States. and is the great field for i'm
migration when we can get it, and
the place for happy and comfortable
homes. This section will grow rap
idly within the next few. years. The
railroad facilities are good now, and
are being improved all the time"
"You may put it as strong as you
can" said Mr.. human in conclusion,
shat tho South is the great section
Of the country, not only on account
OF her minerals, climate and pure
water, but also on account of her
immense cotton crop, which will give

OVERLAND TRAFFIC.

The movement of Coast produce overland
during January is of interest. Ii amounted
in round figures to 10000 tons or 1000 car
loads, Of which about three-fourths were
Slipped from San Francisco.
The first place in the list is occupied bv
fruit, raisins, other dried fruit aud citrus
fruit Of these the cars carried some 215O
tons or 2l5 carloads to the East. The
movement of fresh fruit will not begin for
three months or SO. Next in weight came
wine and brandy, which filled $50 cars.
Nearly as many cars were filled with wool
tanned goods and canned and picked sal
mon occupied 100 cars, and beans about 40.
The amount of these articles shipped varies
from month to month, but the January state
ment gives pretty fair notion of the class
OF goods which we send overland in ex-
change for dry goods, hardware and other
inportations. Perhaps we should have
added to the list our shipments of quick
silver, 220i950 pounds, which, though far
less in bulk than the shipments which have
been mentioned, represents a larger value
than most Of them,
Our overland shipments do not cut much
fGure by th- side Of our shipments by sea.
a large ship viii carry $4,000 worth of
wheat at present prices, besides a consider
able quantity of canned goods, wine and
lumber; and so long as there is no artificial
disturbance in the wheat or the coat market
the port can keep feet of such ships on the
90. There is lots of money in the triangular
voyage from London to Sydney with cement
and an assorted cargo, from Sydney to San
. Francisco with coal and from San Francisco
back to London with wheat. To carry as
much stuff as can be got into such ship as
the General Roberts. which lately cleared
from this port, would require thirty trains OF
ten cars each. From such facts as this the

FREE SILVER COINAGE.

Our neighbOrs of the Chronicle are quite
anxious that the Government should at once
accept all the silver bullion shich can be of
fered at the United States MINIS, and pay
for 1t some twenty cents on the dollar more
than 1t is selling for all over the world. We
can understand that a person who owns a
silver mine would like to obtain twenty
cents on dollar more than it is worth in
gold coin, for the proposition amounts to
this. The question naturally arises as to
whether De Young owns an interest in a
silver mine, or is promised an interest in
case such law should be enacted by Con-
gress? The Government is now acting on
the safe side at least ia purchasing silver
tor coinage at current rates. for the CON-
modify cannot possibly decline much in
value, but should De Young's recommends
ton carry, spectators would reap a rich
harvest. Our citizens are not in favor of
rushing into free coinage of silver just yet.

ABOUT PENSIONS.

The increase in the pension payments
naturally sets people to thinking. 1t is con-
ceded on all sides that soldiers and sailors
who have become disabled through service
should be the wards of the nation. But it
does not follow that everybody else who has
served the public should be retired at mid
die age on pension. There is difference
at the outset between the soldier and the
civilian. When man enliSlS in the army
as volunteer he makes a sacrifice at the
call OF patriotism. He does not 90 into the
ranks Tor profit or for glory. He goes be-
cause his country calls him. In civil serv-
ice man rarely makes a sacrifice in accept
ing place. In most cases he succeeds
over number of equally competent COM
petltorS. Ii he does not exactly win prize
when lie receives his commission, he wins
something that 4 great many would like to
have. If he holds this position through
twenty or thirty years he esteems himself
fortunate. At any period he might have re-
tired, in most cases without detriment to
the public good. But at the end of his twenty
or thirty years service lie conceives the idea
that his devotion to the public interests
ought to have n reward that had not been
thought of when he was scheming to get an
office. There is properly no relation be-
tween the proposition to provide for the old
age of soldiers and sailors and one to pen
sion the army of civil servants. The former
are paid much less than what may be termed
current wages, and are consequently unable
out of their earnings to provide for old age
The latter are better paid than the average
Of workers, and iu the long period of their
service they have at least equal opp0rtuni-
ties TO provide for the future In old coun-
tries very low salaries are pieced out with
pensions at tie end of given term of
service. That periol is so long that when
the public servant reaches its end the END
Of life is not far off. The Government thus
gets the benefit of long period of service
at low salary. and only incurs an obliga-
ton 10 pay a pension for a very limited Pc
riod. Probably England and France find
low salaries and pensions less burdensOme
in the long run than higher salaries would
be without pensions There is no DISPOSE
ZION to complain of the magnitude of the
pension disbursements, providing that Suf-
clent precautions are taken against fraud, in
allowing pensions for military service, and
that 10 attempt is made to graft a civil
service pension upon the parent stem. The
people are willing to provide all needed as
Sistance for the men who fought the battles
Of the country, but men who have drawn
liberal salaries in the civil service are sup
posed to be able to take care of themselves.

CALIFORNIA AT THE FAIR.

The apprehension is growing that Cali
fornia will not be given much prominence
at the Worlds Fair. The way for us to
get thing is not to ask for it. There are
sufficient natural reasons why California
should be allowed the Chief of the Bureau
OF Horticulture. The State Board of Trade
induced General Chapman to consent to
serve the State In that capacity. but the in
formation is now given out that Director
General Davis does not think that he can
give this department to California. A Chi
cago paper thinks dozen States will make
as good a show of horticultural products as
California. A New York man wants the
place. and as the Director General does not
ike to take one and leave the other, he
VIII probably appoint an Illinois man. A
column IN the Chronicle informs the public
that Commissioner de Young has been urr-
Ing the appointment of General Chipman

more MI de Young urges the more he
seems not to get. If he can be persuaded to

erai Chapman may be appointed vet.

REFLECTION.

IT'S amusingto see what shifts newspaper
Jfoprletors resort to in order to keep their
Hheets before the public. For instance, one
newspaper IN San francisco, which never
contains much news, condemns the publica-
ton of any Glass Of information in other
journals which it does not furnish to its
readers. Of course sit is corrupting public
taste as 10 what constitutes news" Another
newspaper publishes what it denominates
fakes-that is, statements which do not con-
tain even shadow Of truthfulness. Neither
class of journals is of the best, but some
reo lie like to keep certain information from
the public, desiring a newspaper which tells
them only OF certain things with which
every one is familiar; while another class
