A BOSS-RIDDEN BOARD.

The evil Of having candidates for Office on
the Election Commission becomes each day
more apparent. The board is now part OF
the Kelly Crimmins machine. 1t serves as
q screen for the suffers whom the Third
street machine gets upon the register. Up
to Thursday Registrar Brown stood in the
way of the machine. The law allows the
Registrar to summon persons who have reg
istered unIawfully or with an appearance
of fraud before the Board of Election Com.
missioners to show cause why their name
should not be stricken from the register. If
the person summoned can account for the
apparent irregularity he appears before the
board and does so; IL he has Intentionally
registered fraudulently he pays no attention
to the summons of the Registrar. On
Wednesday there were twenty-eight persons
whom the Registrar had cited to appear.
Two came before the board ana twenty-six
did not. The law requires the board to
strike from the register the names of all
who fail to appear. But the Commissioners
apparently thought twenty-six voters a
large number to lose. Smiley suggested
that too many citations had been issued.
burst intimated that the Registrar was
presenting lists of the names of persons who
had never been served with citations.

THE CITY AND RAILROADS.

We publish below communication hav-
ing reference to some articles which ap-
peared in THE CALL a few days ago sug-
costing the construction of railroads at
public expense in the event that this city
and State could not rid themselves Of
tie outrages which we are enduring other
wise. THE CALL believes such a propo-
sition could be carried out without much
difficulty. The scheme is practicable, and
every sensible person would be in favor OF
if. IL we cannot take care Of ourselves other
wise. Ii this city would move in the mat
ter population would flock here immedi-
ately and business would revive. Indeed,
with even the city alone at the back of a
railroad enterprise, it would speedily
assume form. San Francisco, from being
held in check by four or five men for pur-
poses of elf-aggrandizement, would rap
idly assume the form of an important city.
The taxes which would accumulate on adj
Gitional city property caused by new
railroad enterprise would do much toward
paying the interest on good system OF rail-
roads. The CALL Is pleased to note feel
ing in favor Of taking care of the property
interests of San Francisco in the way sug-
gested. The communication to which ref
erence is made reads as follows:
Editor Gail: The suggestion in this morning
CALI, that this State DO something In ownership
OF the necessary railroads to make transporta-
lion easy and cheap for its citizens should be
followed up by action. Papers have heretofore
run themselves into favor by urging the building
OF competing roads by private hands. Al best II
is but a quarteI-way measure. IL The CALL
wifi commence an agitation for such change oil
the State constitution and laws as will enable its
citizens to build new roads or acquire those in
existence il will do so on 8 rising tide OF popular
approval No topic or measure OF public utility
would so thoroughly arouse the interest OF the
masses or give prestige to the Journal which
undertook IL. Why should California await the
action OF the General Government? Why should
any county await the action OF the State? Only
because we have allowed ourselves to be bound
hand and foot by constitution, custom and
statute law to further the interests OF private
eorporations. This move would be supported oy
the entire influence. national and local, OF the
Peop,e,s party at least. 1t would flank com
petingu road schemes and open reasonable
avenue OF effort and influence TO the Trafiic
Association and the League of Progress. The

WHO Is FOR SALE1


It may suit NJ. III. de Young If he can sell
the Republican party III this city to STAN
ford, Huntington & Co. for considerable
sum of money. but will it please San Fran
cisco to have him turn us over to the tender
mereies of these men to be plundered OF
other millions? The game now being played
is that which has been gone over good
many times, but the same parties think
there Is enough salable material here TO
enable them to play it again and again.
THE CALL takes it for granted that there
are not many men who do not know that
San Francisco has been robbed, both OF
money and property, by our railroad man
ayers time after time, and out OF millions
upon millions. Are we so green as to per-
nit De Young to feather his nest at our ex-
pense out of hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars? For we do not doubt that he will sell
himself to the railroads or that the rail-
roads will buy him. An astonishing people.
are we not. to permit ourselves to be sold
out by such men as De Young. Crimmins
or Kelly? 1t will scarcely satisfy those
VINO are acquainted with the antecedents of
any OF these persons to say they will not
sell us to the railroad for money should an
opportunity offer

THE COILS OF THE sERPENT.

Four years ago THE CALL pointed to the
frauds which were committed by Buckley
and his associates. 1t noted how they had
made away with large sums of money and
were playing into the hands of Stanford 81
Co. At that election Buckley and his as
sociates were nearly wrecked. Two years
ago THE CALL again attacked Buckley and
his associates. Then Buckley gave way and
fed. The employees Of the railroad, how
ever, would not let him and his associates
be punished, but the combination between
Buckley and the railroad company was
broken. THE CALL almost unaided, so far
as newspapers were concerned, destroyed
the influences of Buckley and his gang.
What next? The railroad took up Kelly,
Crimmins 81 Co., the railroad probably
furnishing most OF the money, but De Young
some of 1t. Now they are making the last
struggle to hvld the Legislature and the two
United States Senator'S Should they sue
coed the struggle would only be heightened
out; it would not be won by Stanford and
Hunting Oh. for the city and State are too
powerful to admit OF purchase and sale by
which an entire community may be cheated
out of its rights, The time will come when
Stanford, Huntington and others cannot
browbeat and cow an entire city. The time
will come when the men who sell them
selves expecting San Francisco to vote them
into Office will be wofully disappointed. In
all probability we are upon the point Of Sc
curing victory over the bosses who have
betrayed rs. AT any rate the contest cannot
last much longer, and THE CALL predicts
that our citizens will ere long look back
with as much wonder as they do to-day to
Vigilance Committee times when we were
enyeloped in the coils Of the serpent
The morning call., 1892-10-21
AN INTELLIGENT PEOPLE.

We claim to be one of the most intelligent
cities in the United States. yet what are we
so far as people abroad look upon us? In
every other portion of the Union we are re-
qarded as a community governed by the
Central and Southern Pacific Railroad oil
carchy and by class of persons who assume
the euise of politicians, the managing power
of which is not much better than that of
hand OF thieves. Year after year money is
furnished By the agents of the two railroad
examinations to men like Crimmins, Kelly
81 Co. for the ayowed purpose OF securing
the nomination and election Of men to Office
who it is understood must do the bidding Of
the men who manage the two organizations.
We say this thing has gone on for years.
Persons have been selected and sent to the
legislature, where they have plundered the
people. They have refused even to enforce
the payment of taxes by the two railroad
companies, and have selected United States
Senators with the purpose of aiding Stan
ford. Huntington & Co. to Iogroll such meas
nres through Congress as would assist them
in more effectuaIIy robbing California. over
and above the use which has been made OF
tbe persons who have been assisted to obtain
