committee. and 1t was decided 10 hold an exhibition

THE Chronicle says that it is hard for
ga party that has silver leanings and
only one available candidate for the
presidency, and he an out-and-out mon
ometallist." We are curious to know
on what authority the Chronicle as
sumes that the Democracy has only one
candidate for the presidency. 1t is
rich in available timber. Besides
Cleveland we have Hill, Patterson, Rus
sell, Boies and others. The Chronicle
seems to play with the silver question
in the spirit of "heads win tails you
lose" 1t is willing to let the Republi-
cans ignore it, or trifle with; but the
Democracy must come out square-toed

that he was not engaged in the business
of discrediting the products of his own
state.
In plain words, the viniculturists and
viticvltnrists of California are the SUBJ
iects of great outrages, from which the
national and state governments ought
to protect them. Why should not this
charming and infant industry be pro-
tected from the Vaccinations OF rogues ?
The people OF the United States have
been heavily taxed for nearly sixty
wears to nourish our iron and steel in
terests. Why ought not laws, conceived in
the interest OF common honesty and of a
most benefcent production, be passed
to protect our vineyardists and wine-
makers from q cutthroat villainy? Let
anyone answer why not?
What congressman will endear him
self forever to the people of California
by moving effectively in this matter?

IT WOULD seem to be the correct prin

II WOULD seem to be the correct prin-
eiple, if the city wants to experiment
with any new kind OF pavement, to do
so itself, at its own cost, and not at the
cost OF the property-holders on given
street. We do not know nobody knows,
until full trial has been made OF it in
our streets-whether Chino bituminous
rock is good material to be laid down
or not. 1t would be the proper thing to
have those who are interested in this
rock make a satisfactory trial of it them
selves and at their own cost. But if
they fail to, and the council insist on
awarding a contract to lay it down on
Pearl street, then they should not COM
pei the property-holders on that street
to pay for it. The council has no right
to experiment with the money of pri-
vate individuals, or to trife with such
important improvements as the paving
OF one OF the finest thoroughfares in the
city by laying down a material the de-
fects or virtues of which are unknown.
These same remarks will apply with
equal force to the alternate bid on that
street if the ''San Luis Obispo BIZ
luminous rock" is from
new deposit, one that has not
yet been tested in this city. The council
should be thoroughly informed on this
subject before it makes its award.
There are good, bad and Indifferent
crock" deposits in San Luis Obispo
county, and we would gain nothing by
refusing to use Chino rock because it
had not been satisfactorily tested as
street paving, if we should take San
Luis rock that was also an untried
material.

"a WORD TO THE WISE" ETC.

Now that the San Francisco mer-
chants have organized their traffic associ
alton, which it is expected will keep
railroad freight charges within bounds,
they are very anxious to have the
merchants of other cities join the move
ment, and an attempt is being made to
induce this city to furnish representa-
ton.
There are very few interests which
the Southern California freight shipper
has in common with his confrere of the
north, and he will do well to avoid bind
ing himself to any association which has
had its inception and organization in
San Francisco. This city is far better
off in the way of railroad competition
than is the northern metropolis, and
this should be the center OF
a Southern California traffic as
sociation including all shippers
south of the Tehachapi divide.
A strong organization OF the kind, under
the control of an able railroad man,
such as is Mr.. Leeds, the manager of
the San Francisco affair, would have two
roads to work on, against the one in
the north. If all the great, and for
that matter. the little shippers of the
south were united, their manager would
have little difficulty, in case the South.
ern Pacific was obstreperous, in bringing
the Santa Fe to reasonable terms, or
vice versa.
The merchants, the orange men, the
raisin makers, the wine producers, the
grain farmers-all these, if combined
could work wonders in securing fair
treatment and low rates OF freight from
the railroad companies; but if they tie
themselves to the San Francisco con-
cern, the result will be what it always
has been, the north will get away with
the meat and the south will gnaw the
bone.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-11-30

THE Call assumes that Russia wants
to buy s100.000,000 of silver. If she
does, and goes into the market to pro-
cure it, she will undoubtedly have to
pay more than O,0O0, 900 in gold for it.
Just as soon as she shows that she wants
and must have that much silver, there
will be no surplus in Germany, and sill
yer will approximate at once to parity
with gold. Great Britain wants all she
silver she can get to pay for her bread
stuffs from India. France has both
metals in use and reserve, and the
United States will glide into free coin

SAYS the HERALD: "No amount of as
sertion will make anybody, but those
who want to. believe that the Democratic
press of the country has criticized Mr..
Egan because he is an Irishman and a
Republican" We do not care to rely
on assertion, for the facts are entirely
too obvious. If the HERALD wants to
support its position let it show what
papers have slandered and vilifed Min
lister Egan and what have not.-[S. F.
Chronicle.
This is richness for you. The Chroni-
Gle charges the Democratic press of the
country with having criticized Mr.. Egan
only because he was an Irishman and a
Republican, and now has the hardihood
to challenge us to prove the contrary.
We are not required to prove negative ;
but the Chronicle having made broad
and injurious statement, is bound to
show that it is true, or bow its head. 1t
is not the Democratic press or party
that has shown prejudice to the Irish as
such. That kind of antagonism be-
longs to the other side. No Democratic
candidate for governor was ever known
to have written letter to his partner
rejoicing over his substitution of Irish
laborers in a mine by Chinese. 1t is
only Republican candidate who could
do that and win.
