THE sTANFoI,D LOAN BILL.

Senator Stanford has written to a friend
that, so far as the Central and Southern
Pacific railroad companies are concerned,
they cannot derive any benefit from this pill
(the Stanford land bilD. as their lands are all
covered by mortgage" This mortgage is
in the form Of bonds, which may be pur-
chased in The market. If the Government
loans money at per cent, would not The
company, which has to pay about 6 per
cent interest on bonds, find some way TO
convert per cent bonds lato 2per cents, the
security in each case being the sans? Mr..
Stanford also says:
1t Is query in my mind whether all the pa
uCns Of railroads are not Interested in reducing
the burdens and expenses or the transportation
comEauies, for l do uOI see how the roads can
avoid looking 10 the public for means TO meet
their necessary expenses. In The end IL IS largely
the PATRONS of a railroad who have 10 bear its
operating expenses.
The query ia Mr.. Stanf0rds mind exists
alsJ in other minds. The assertion that in
the end 1t is largely tie PatTOns of a railroad
who have 10 bear IFS operating expenses
viii not be contTadicted by any patrons Of
the Southern Pacific system No man is so
unreasonable as 10 ask the railroad COM
Yau.eS TO do business at a loss. When a
su0w-st0Tm ia the Sierra Nevada Noun
rains costs the company 100000, the pa
irons Of the road know that in the end they
have to make tEe loss good TO the company.
They 10 lot ask 10 be relieved OF this obi
CATION. But there is 4 kind of operating
expenses which are not so willingly borne.
The public do not exactly see why they
should he charged rates Of fare and freight
10 enable the owners Of one system o roads
to accumulate private fortunes aggregatiag
Slo0C0O0C0. They do not see why the cost
Of running political campaign should be
borne by patrons of road. Neither have
these patrons been able to see the justice
Of being compelled 10 pay money for the
purchase Of legislative bodies and courts
These are matters up0n which Mr.. Stanford,
or some Of the men who have charge Of his
political conscience, can throw considerable
light. That the patrons OF a railroad must.
in The end, bear the operating expenses Of a
railroad will be conceded; but why should
these patrons bear the operating expenses Of
a political campaign, the PRINCIPAL object Of
which is TO elect a railroad magnate Sena-

jacobson, who is employed at the North

THE FOOD gIsn OF THE COAST.

The lecture delivered Cd Saturday by the
President Of the Stanford University on
the subject Of the FISH of the Pacific Coast
was exceedingly interesting though it dealt
with the history OF ichlbyology rather than
with the present condition of the fish indus
try. There is no one who is better qualified
TO speak on the fish Of the Pacific waters
than Professor Jordan. He was for long
time employed by the United States Gov
eminent TO classify tnem and it is mainly
to his researches and his comparisons that
we owe our knowledge Of the numerous
families into which our fish have been
divided. II lie will now combine lis scien-
tifc knowledge with his practical Obserya-
ton Of the fish question from commercial
and an allmentary standpoint he will rem
der public service.
An impression prevails that our Pacific
Coast FISH are superior IN number and
quality to the fish OF the Atlantic Coast. 1t
would be gratifying to State pride to have
this proposition demonstrated. But, as a
matter Of fact, it cannot be sustained. In
partial comparison proves that, so far as
food fish are concerned, the Atlantic Coast
is better supplied than tile Pacific Coast.
Two or three great families Of fish which
are abundant in the Eastern waters and
supply the Genizens Of the coast with ample
and nutritious food are either absent here
or scanty, or inferior in quality. One of
these is the cod. Fish-dealers in San Fran
cisco sell fish which they cali cod and which
have the distinguishing stripe on their
sides, but they are not the true gadus and
really belong 10 the ling family That
no bic fish with its fiaky flesh aud delicious
flavor is rarely found south Of Vancouver
Island. The bluefsh, on which New Eng
land and the Atlantic States as far south
as Cape Hatteras largely suhsist during the
early summer months. is entirely absent
here, and the nackerei is not abundant
Schools CT common mackereI are found in
our waters, but not in any thing like the
abundance in which they occur off the
coast of New England and the maritime
provinces Of Canada. We have the herring,
but it is a smaller fish than the Eastern
herring: and occasionally one of the de-
lici0us fish commonly called the Spanish
The morning call., 1892-02-29

mackerel is taken in the waters off Monte
rey. In New York they are abundant in
the late summer and early fall.
In exchange for these we have an abund-
ance of the atherinid@, which are called
smelts, though they have no affinity with the
true osmerus; they are peculiar to our waters.
The fish which arc sold in the markets as
rockcod are sculpins and scorpenid@, which
are found everywhere. but are more abund-
ant here than elsewhere. And we have the
pompina, which is smaller than the p0mpino
of the Mediterranean and the Gulf Of Mexico,
and generally commands a very high price.
The barracuda is not rare and is peculiar
to our waters.
Other fish which we share with our East
ern brethren are the salmOn-more abund-
ant but less delicately favored here than
the salmon Of Eastern Canada and Nor
way-tho shad, which was lately planted in
our waters and is doing well, though as yet
inferior in flavor to the Eastern shad; the
perch, including the viviparOus perch, which
is chiefly eaten by the Chinese; the genuine
Smelt, or oSmerus, sold here under the name
of silver smelt; n large variety of the pleur0-
nectidR, from The gigantic hahbut to the
excellent tuIbOt and the delicate fish sold
under the name of sole. though it is moth
ing but founder; the rays. which are
chiefly eaten by the Chinese; the lake rout,
equal in every respect TO the Eastern fish :;
carp, bass and a number Of others which as
yet possess no commercial Importance.
1t is very important indeed that cur food
fish should be lostered, for sooner or later
they may become resource q value. There
are parts Of Germany in which the farmer
derives no small portion OF his income from
the product Of his carp farm. Great Britain
has spent countless sums in developing her
fisheries. and the United States is endeay
oring through the Fish Commission 10 &C
Quire the knowledge necessary to follow the
examIl e. Money made by fishing is clear
profit Unlike cattle, fish require neither
range 10 feed on nor keepers TO take care Of
them, and yet they supply man with the
first necessary Of life-his daily food. From
the abundance Of FISH life around the Far
allones. all along the coast from Cape Flat
terry to Point Conception, and in the blight
stretching TO san Diego. it may safely De
inferred that the ocean is prepared to fur
nish that food in illmilable quantities. 1t
rests with man, if the thing be possible, to
check the growth Of fishes which are Of
small value and to promote that Of the
genera which may take the place CT meat.

Paderewsh eats but little besides eggs.
and his iay0rlte beverages are tea and lem

was peroxide Of hydrogen.
Captain w S. Schley, the redoubtable
commander of the cruiser Baltimore, is a

beard. but his hair is brown, and he wears
it combed down low over a broad forehead
Senator w. J. Mcconnell Of Idaho, one of
the pioneers in the Territory, says he gotrich
by raising fresh vegetables at Boise and
buying and planting more land with the
proceeds of their sale, while hundreds of
dis ppointed gold seekers were leaving for
the East.
The late Mr.. Spurgeon used frequently 10
visit Monaco, but be Tefrained from enter
ing the beautiful gardens attached'to the
gambling hell there, not because he feared
he should arouse any scandal thereby, but
for the reason that he thought his presence
would set bad example.
King Menelek Of Abyssnia is cultivatng

lie has just sent messenger to NJ. CarnOt
Offering him as present two splendid
Nubian lions which are now at his court.
The same messenger took letter from the
King comforting upon President Carnot the

The Baroness Won Zuyllan Of Paris has
the finest stables in the world for her mag

Gar himself do not equal them in magnifi-
cence. On Sunday afternoons she takes
her tea in the stables, where, down the

diseraceful. We shall be told that there are
Chinese savants, statesmen, scholars and
dipiomates equal to any in Europe, and
that a policy which excludes men of this
stamp from the country is not to be toer-
ated in enlightened America. There IS
some danger that under this threat of retail
iation tie real issue will be obseuTed. That
issue is if Chinese IaboreTs shall have unre-
stricted access to American fields of labor.
Restriction has been tried with hut partial
success. The question then arises II we
shall enact an exclusion law and enforce II
or permit labOrers to enter the country under
tile guise Of merchant, tourist student or
teacher. The privileged classes might not
be in themselves Objectionable, but the
laborers who come in their place are. If
the alternative is presented Of suspending
relations between China and the United
States and the admission of Chinese labor
eTs the Teople Will we think, accept suspen-
siOn. Eut such an alternative Will not be
presented. The United States is too good a
market fer Chinese prCdCCts to be sacrificed
10 a policy Of resentment. The Chinese
Will always sell rs their tea, their rice, Their
sugar ard their silk whether We receive their
laborers or not. A fair degree OF retaliation
would be for the Chinese Government 10 eX-
clude Americans Of all classes. To eXpel
those already in the country or TO withdraw
from them the protection Of the laws would
be attended with considerable danger. Per-
sons who have entered q country with The
consent Of the Government are entitled to
residence and protection. There has been
no proposition in tie United States to eXpel
Chinese who have lawfully entered this
country Our legislators look only to the
prevention of future immigration. 1t will
probably to found that the Chinese growl
is deeper than its bite. The purpose doubt
less is to revive a sentiment in the Eastern
States which will prevent the enactment
of bills relating 20 Chinese now before Con-
