MINOR INDUSTRIES.

The question has often been asked why
California imported much Of its butter and
cheese and large portion of its poultry.
With its immense ranges Of grazing land
and its large number Of people seeking
employment, it seems al if it might export
butter, cheese and poultry. In the States
from which we receive a portion Of our
supplies cows are housed and stall-fed
about one-half the year. In California a
little hay fed to cows in the two months Of
November and December. after The summer
feed is nearly exhausted and before new
feed appears In large quantities, carries
them through in fine shape. 1t is not that
homemade butter is not 10 demand. At
the season when imports are largest the
Eastern article is sold at a lower price than
California butter. II is so with eggs and
poultry. Yet with our sparse population in
proportion to our territory, we import in
considerable quantities all these products
Of the earth. A reason for this lack of
thrift has been sought in climatic cOndi-
tons. 1t does not seem reasonable, how
ever, that better results should be obtained
from cows that are housed half the year
than from cows which only need shelter
two or three months in the year, If at all.
Probably a reason Of wider application will
be found in the disinclination of our people
to engage in the minor industries. a good
many people in this State seem, disinclined
to do things which the same class ia
the old States are glad to get to do.
Not one orchard or wheat ranch in a dozen
has a kitchen garden attached. The farmer
and the orehardist do not like to put in their
leisure time in cnltiyating a garden. Rather
than that they viii mortgage their growing
crops to the vegetable man." thinking that
the amount Of such debt will be insignif-
cant compared to the total wheat or fruit
product 1t may be remarked in this place
that people in the o Id countries do not get
rich in this way. The California farmer
compares his land and his climate with thai
of the New England farmer and wonders
how the latter contrives to live. The New
England farmer, seeing the little. wastes Of
the California farmer, wonders how tht
latter continues to come out even. It j,
pleasant to note that the people Of Cal for
MIA are growing more attentive to auxiliary
industries than they did in early years. The
Rural Press says that at the rate of prog
ress now being made, California will bt
| shipping butter I'm five years. We were
| few years behind our Eastern competitor
| in the methods Of butter and cheese max
ing, but within the last I'VE years have mad,
rapid progress in that direction. Probably
| when the people Of this State get the ideI
well fixed in their minds that they have Il
work for a living much as they do in tht
older States they will cut down the waste
that have swallowed up their substance

LARGER THAN POLITICS.

Mr.. Leeds said in his address before the
Chamber of Commerce that the transporta-
ton question is larger than political parties.
1t is so much larger than political parties
that political parties will not lose much
time in getting on the right side of it.
There is another than the dollar and cent
point of view in which the transportation
question is larger than political parties.
The present exorbitant rates Of transporta-
tion could never have been maintained
without systematic political corruption.
For three successive terms we have had
Railroad Commissions which have recorded
the edicts Of the Southern Pacific Company.
The constitutional body which was de-
signed 10 be the protector of the people
has become, through the agency of the
Southern Pacific Company, their oppressor.
Now. any condition which is maintained by
corruptlng political parties is larger than
political parties. The first step.in the way
OF remedy is TO emancipate the parties
That will be done the moment it becomes
apparent that political preferment lies
rather with the people than with the South
ern Pacific Company. Up to the present
time a political aspiTant has asked himself
if he could get the support Of the railroad.
If not it did not seem worth while to run
for an Office II lie could, he considered
himself about as good as elected. All this
must be changed, The man who seeks the
support of a company which elects men for
its own purposes is unfit to hold office.

WARRING CLUBMEN.
The Members of the Pacific Union Fight
ing Among Themselves.

The Members of the Paciflc-Union Fight
ing Among Themselves.
1t is reported that there is row and a
rumpus of no small dimensions in progress
among the members OF the exclusive Pa
cifc-U Union Club. and that unless a truce is
declared division Of the club must result
The cause Of the trouble is said to be the
desire of the younger members and not n
few Of tue old ones as well, TO have more
room for ard-playing and less for reading.
To obtain this the reading-roOm was trans
formed into n cardroom and the eardroom
into a reading-room, with the result of
caus ing howl from the members who do
n0tplay poker.
As result the directors made another
lightning change and the two rooms were
retransformed as they originally were.
Then il is said, some of the drec tors got
angry and resigned, and that more will re-
sign at the next meeting.
The cardToom issue was only a preteXt
for the old members to pick quarrel with
the younger ones and some 90 so far as to say
that the Old men want the young men out Of
the club entirely on the ground that they
are entirely too giddy. 1t was impossible
to get any confirmation or denial Of the re-
ports last night. The members seen had
nothing to say except one old gentleman,
who said that "the clubs business was the
clubs business and none of the pu uolic's
business" and after this extraordinary s.
sertion he added testify. Il don't see how
this thing got out anyhow"
The next meeting of the directors will be
looked for with interest by clubmen and it
is not impossible that the Pacific Union
Club may again become the Pacific and the

CUTTING DOWN SALARIES.

The Congressional committee which has
been looking into Worlds Fair matters find
among other things that too much money is
being paid out in salaries. But this is a
mere matter of dollars and cents. The COM
mittee also reports that 'fn every essential
feature it (the fair stands unriyaled in all
time" Fjfty-six nations aud colonies have
accepted the Invitation to participate and
have already appropriated S3,7S5, 800 for
that purpose. A Worlds FAIR in the United
States that was not more complete and
varied than any the world has yet seen
would be a national humiliation. The
United States is in a commercial sense
neutral ground. There are no animosiies.
which keep any considerable portion Of
the world from sending in their products.
In the management of an enterprise Of this
magnitude it would be singular if some
mistakes were not committed. But we are
not sure that it was a mistake to plan an
exposition equal in all respects to the occa-
sion that called it forth without strict OBJ
servance Of financial limits. A little extra
money can DO found more easily than the
plan could have been enlarged to meet un-
expected requirements. 4 S30.000.000 fair
is a grand conception. but people will be re-
coneiled TO it when they read from the re-
port: "ln scope and magnfcence the
exposition stands alone. There is nothing
like it in all history. 1t surpasses all kin
dred enterprises and will amply Illustrate
the remarkable genius OF the American

WHAT 1T MEANS.

Apparently an effort is being made to
defeat the nomination OF General Harrison
for the Presidency. We are not much sur
prised to learn that our railroad managers
want some person for President who they
believe will assist them ia extending the
debt on the Central Pacific Railroad indefin-
itely. As it is the company has not paid
the interest on its bonds to the Government,
nor dove believe its managers ever intend
to if they can avoid it. The railroad debt
ought not to be extended. but the Govern
ment should take possession or sell ii to
persons who will exact only reasonable
charges for freight. The Central Pacific
Company is deeply interested in the Presi-
dental contest. At this our readers need
not greatly marvel.
The morning call., 1892-05-22
ANYTHING TO BEAT HARRISON.

The publication Of an alleged letter from
ex-President Grant to Roscoe COnkling just
at the present time is open to the suspicion
that it is an anything g-to-best-Harris0n
dodge. General Grant may have written
the letter, but if he did it only serves to show
how little influence Grant exercised over
the thres Senators who had combined TO
make Grant a third-term candidate. In
that letter Grant is represented as warning
the three Senators against the danger Of
second terms while in their hands for
nomination for a third term. What Grant
is represented as saying about the bitter
rivalry between ConkGng and Blaine
might have been said by any schOOlbOy. 1t
was clear at the time that Blaine and Conk-
ling had each sufficient personal power 10
kill the other politically, but neither enough
TO succeed against the other. Mr.. Conkling
was so thoroughly aware Of this in 1880 that
be put Grant forward in place OF taking
first place himself But Blaine worked as
hard TO defeat Grant in the convention as
ne would if ConkIing had been the aspirant.
The objections General Grant is represented
as urging against a second term do not seem
well grounded. Both Lincoln and himself
had been elected to second terms without
other harm TO the country than. that arising
from the act of an assassin Hayes had
declined a second term for reasons which
had rot been unmeTited There does not
seem to have been any especial reason there
fore why General Grant should have pointed
out to C0nkling the impOlicy Of second
term. Why does Grant, who had been
elected by such a large majority a second
time, sincerely doubt if ANY man can ever
again be elected for a second term unless
there is an extraordinary emergency"
While it is possible that Grant may have
written the letter under consideration.
it is more likely that the machine poll
tieians, who are opposing Harrison, have
sought to represent Grant as warning the
country against second terms on general
llrircinlas

PEN And SWORN.

We have received from Colonel Andrews
OF the Diamond Palace a beautifully de-
signed and wrought spoon, the handle of
which is formed by combination of the pen
and tine sword. The words accompanying
the artistic souvenir are: The pen is
mightier than the sword" The quotation
is qualified in the original by the words.
Beneath the rule of men entirely great. "
The inference would be that only under
certain conditions is the pen mightier than
the sword. The quotation is. however, apt
for the occasion. Our editorial visitors are
men In whose hands the pen is mightier
than the sword. The world would be
pleased If the pen were really mightier than
the sword, but thls does not always appear
to be the case. The pen does much. but in
these degenerate days Of ours the sword is
often resorted to in order to clear away the
sophfstrias vi lph the pen has promulgated.

THE FUTURE OF WINE.

Much fear has been expressed by a few OF
the owners of vineyards in California,
owing to the low price Of wine for several
years past. THE CALL has never been so
apDrehensNe as have some others that the
interest would not ultimately take Its
place as one Of the most important indus
tries in the State. The price of wine is
already advancing, and il Is possible that
the very reduced rates for which we have
had to sell have served TO introduce our
wine where it might not otherwise have
gene for some time to come.
