forniA, - her competitor, Is thus 30 heavily
Handicapped In the absences Of counter
balancing artificial barriers the adyan-
tases Of this stats over our great southern
neighbof must BE- Of incalculable value and
conclusive in the race for supremacy. And
such barriers can only be erected by the
adoption Of unjustIy discriminating rates
or by conspiracies in restraint Of compete
ton. With rates relatively adjusted to
the expense Of operating and maintaining
the Washington, - compared with the
California routes, and no bars to healthy
competition between the former, this state
il assured, IN the not distant future. an
era and . career Of progress and prosperity
which will be the marvel Of modern times.
But already at the instigation and under
the leadership of the California corpora-
ton one artificial barrier has been erected
which must in . measure counterbalance
the natural barriers in their way, and in
measure rob Washington Of her great ad-
vantages - = competitor Of Californis.
Already BY their instigation and manage
nent . conspiracy has been effected
against the Just relative rates and the
healthy competition which. il left undis-
turbed, would afford Washington's absolute
assurance Of future supremacy. By the
subsidy of $500 600 year to the Canadian
Pacific just 100000 per annum has been
interposed as an artificial barrier Il. Wash
ington's career Of progress.
Under the same inspiration one and
another pooling arrangement has been
effected or attempted, and others, We may
rest assured, will be, all aimed ct counter
balancing the natural barriers Of California
with artificial barriers detrimental to this
state a. the otherwise invincible competi-
tor Of the golden state. These are con-
siderations which should commend them
selves to the prompt and earnest attention
of our representatives at Washington and
in the legislature, demanding a display of
their highest arts Of craftsmanship and
diplomacy, and they also call for display
Of the energy and sagacity of our business
and property-holding classes. A fair show
on the basis of natural advantages and
scrictly honest treatment is all that Wash
ington requires or need appeal for. and
these the active and united influences
above named should be able to command.

NO NEED OF AN EXTRA SESSION.

As usual near the close of legislative
periods, there il talk of an extra session at
Olympia, and it is possible that Acting
Governor Laughton may be importuned
from various sources to call such session.
There are always about every state capital
lot of people who have more talk than
discretion, and whose personal interests
are involved in the protraction of legisla-
tive sessions, and they can be depended
upon to make the usual demand upon the
executive. But it: would be q great mis-
take to call an extra legislative session.
It would involve the state in q large bill
of costs, and it would serve no substantial
good to anybody. If the legislature will
make good use of the time remaining, it
can accomplish all that the necessities of
the state demand At this time in the way
of legislation, and If it fails to do it at the
regular session, it would be absurd to sup
pose that better results could be expected
from special session.
The thing is not to be thought Of. 1t
would be an extra expense for no purpose
and it would be precedent fatal to the
interests of the state in the future.

statesmanship Of no mean order. Finding
that they are attached TO and respect the
soldiers, and judging By the experiments
that have been tried with unvarying and
gratifying success, he believes that their
transfer from the interior department,
whose agents they distrust and despise, TO
the war department, and the combination
Of military with industrial training, they
may be rescued from bsrbarism and de-
pendent condition to one Of civilization
and usefulness.
In support Of this view many examples
are cited which seem to be conclusive, cspe-
cially the experiment Of Lieutenant f. w.
Casey, who was 90 foully murdered
during the late uprising. This young
officer took 80 or 90 young Chey-
enns braves and transformed them
from poor, lazy. aimless loafers into one Of
the finest, II not the very finest troop Of
cavalry in the United States service" He
taught them not only soldierly discipline
and practice, but also convinced them that
manual labor IL respectable. Az soldiers, and
connected with camp duty, they freely and
with good effect adopted manual pursuits
which they cannot be induced to engage in
separately and as civilians
With full confidence this writer declares
that 1.-THE semi-military industrial educa-
ton of the young men will result in their
rapid advancement and adoption Of the
white mans ways" If 50 the system
should certainly be adofted, and it il GER

DEATH or SENATOR HEARST.

Dispatches from the national capital an
nounce that yesterday the lingering i'll
ness of Senator George Hearst, of Cali
fornia, terminated in his death.
Mr.. Hearst was . native of Missouri, Of
limited education, but in his early man.
hood removed to California. in which state
and Nevada, Colorado, Idaho and Montana,
and in Utah, Arizona and New Mexico he
became actively engaged in mining enter
prises, in which line none stood higher as
an expert and an authority, and in which
he was highly successful, amassing q
princely fortune. He was essentially .
self.made man. and was successful not
only in business but also in attracting to
himself . host of devoted friends. His
manners were urbane and courteous-he
was known to his familiars Is "Uncle
George"-and his generosity knew no
bounds.
In politics Mr.. Hearst was indexibly .
Democrat, and for the advancement Of
that party's interests his purse was ever
open. In that behalf. at enormous ex-
pense, he undertook to make the San
Francisco Examiner first-ciaSS and widely
circulating newspaper, and otherwise he
has contributed what to most men would
be handsome fortune to promote the
success of the Democratic party in Cali
fornia.
Making no pretense to oratory or trained
statesmanship, Hearst, by his geniality
and single-heartedness. was enabled to &C
complish much in behalf of Pacific
coast interests at Washington-more per-
haps than could have been accomplished
by many Of higher claims to oratory and
scholarship. His successor may possess
higher literary attainments and be better
versed in a wider range of craftsmanship,
but none can be truer to California and
this coast, in hts every fiber, than was
Senator George Hearst.

Under the above caption Joseph P. Reed
contributes an impressive article to the
Cosmopolitan for March. 1t relates to the
Sioux and their treatment heretofore,
written by one who has had full opportu-
mites for personal observation and for &C.
quiring accurate knowledge. 1t bears the
earmarks of intelligence and impartiality,
equally free from the mawkish sentiment
tally on the one hand, and the ferocious
brutality on the other, with which the
subject is commonly treated.
To the remark of General Miles, that
'the Indian is doomed race" and to the
declaration of Rev. w. H. H. Murray, that
in his native state the red man was thu

and religious" and to that Of Bishop Hare,
that .'the Indian Is the worst specimen Of

exception.
From his own observations, based upon
examination Of the schools en- the Sioux
reservation, he is free to admit his aston

cence exhibited by the children. OF so
high grade was this intelligence that he

RESIDENT AND INHABIrANr.

The point sought to be raised against
Kyle, the newly elected senator from
South Dakota, that he is ineligible be-
cause at the time of his election he was
not legally resident" of that state, has
brought to light some significant facts.
One is that the constitution Of the United
States uses the word ''inhabitant," and
not resident" as the qualification in this
case. And investigation of the constitu-
tional debates shows that the distinction
is made designedly, resident" having
been used in the first draft, and ''inhabi-
tant" inserted as an amendment.
The change was made on the reasonable
ground that while residence may depend
upon intent, and the operation Of the
mans mind, and might therefore be diff
cult to determine. the question where he
is or is not an inhabitant is a physical fact
and easily ascertainable.
Il has also been recalled that more than
one contest has been settled pro and con
in accordance with this distinction. One
was the case of an army officer stationed
in Mississippi, General Adelbert Ames,
who being elected to the Senate from that
state, the Senate committee reported
against his eligibility, because not legally
. resident, but the Senate overruled the
report and seated him on the ground that
though not . resident he was an in
habitant.
In another case legal resident of Mas
sachusetts, holding . clerkship at Wash
ington, was elected to the Senate but not
seated, on the ground that though resi-
dent he was not an inhabitant of Massa-
chusetts. All of which sustains Lord
Byron's declaration that swords are
things"

NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL BAR.
RIERS.

What with washouts along the South
ern Pacific and snowsheds along the Gen.
trail Pacific. the only lines by which Cali
fornia holds connection with the great in
interior and the Atlantic coast, that state
is at a marked disadvantage as a competi-
itor of Washington as . highway for the
trade between the extremes of our own
country and for control of the commerce
between Europe, Asia and the islands of
the Pacific.
The difficulties with which California
and her railroads have to contend in these
respects seem to be insuperable. Many
years have elapsed, fabulous expenditures
have been made. running away up into
the tens of millions, and the resources of
inventive skill have been practically ex-
hausted, all to no effect. Not appreciably
less than at the beginning the SHOWS of the
Sierras and the torrents and treacherous
foundations of the Southern line are obsta-
Giles which battle the wealth and energy of
the great corporation that controls those
lines. and all the resources of science that
they have been able to command.
The annual extraordinary expense Of re-
pairs on this account is enormous, and ul-
timately, of course, this must be borne by
the patrons and the traffic Of those roads.
In which connection. evidently, California
is heavily handicapped. Yearly, for an
indefinite period, perhaps forever, the
traffic which passes through that state
must pay, in addition to fair allowance
for operating expenses and ordinary wear
and tear. large portion of extraordinary
expenses equivalent to many miles of rail-
road construction.
Washington. on the other hand, instead
of being served by-or more properly, per
haps, instead of being subservient to-a
single corporation holding monopoly of
its railroad transportation facilities, is
traversed, or soon will be, by not less than
four great transcontinental lines, three
American and one Canadian. none ofwhich
are subject to serious natural distractions
involving considerable extraordinary ex-
penditures for repairs.
Washington is absolutely free from the
formidable natural barriers By which Cali

the lis counties in the state ten have sustained

When Charles Foster, the new secretary
of the treasury, was Governor of Ohio, he
succeeded in refunding the debt of that
state at rate of interest lower than had
ever before been known. His financial
ability in the management of his private
affairs is proverbial in Ohio. Thus far
both in private life and in every official
position he has been called upon to fill he
has been success. The president has
made another lucky choice.

And there n stiffness everywhere:
Like troubled spirits. here and there
The freight shadows fluttering 60;
And n the shadows round me creep
A childish treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from further room
Comes: "Now / lay me down TO Sleep"
And, somehow, with that little prayer
And that sweet treble in my ears,
Ny thought goes back to Distant years,
And fingers with q dear one there;
And as hear the child's amen
My mothers faith comes back to me-
Crouched at her side seem to be,
And mother holds my hands again.
Oh for an hour in that dear place!
Oh for the peace Of that dear timel
Oh for that childish trust sublimel
Oh for glimpse OF mothers face!
Yet, a. the shadows round me creep,

Sweet magic of that trembling tone,
And, "Nowf lay me down TO sleep"
