BANDING TOGETHER IMPORTANT.

Some Of our contemporaries are discussing
the value of San Francisco property when
compared with other large cities. OF course
property values will be held back Just so
long as mostof the profits made In business
goes into the Golfers Of the railroad million
aires, who never ap ear to have enough Of
this worlds goods. With reasonable freights
and fares San Francisco would be one of
the most prosperous cities in the Union, and
it railroad freights and fares were regulated
In accordance with the cost Of our railroads
every town in the State would feel the i'm
pulse of prosperity. The squeezing process.
however, which is going on takes money
from every class of persons, except those
who divide with the railroad company.
Hard times are made worse by what we are
enduring from our oppressors. California.
which offers extraordinary opportunities in
the way of advancement, IS held back by
men who seem 10 have no conscience. 1t
now stated that the object of the railroad
managers is to induce the withdrawing Of
as many persons from the mercantile COM
pact as possible, In order TO break down the
efforts which are being made to obtain relief
by extending to some merchants low freight
rates. Undoubtedly there are men who are
willing 10 share profits with the railroad
managers, and thus work against the public,
just as there are persons who will accept
Offices through the agency Of the railroads,
making good thing tor themselves by as
ssting to injure the entire community. The
contest for reasonable freight-rates, in our
opinion. is more likely to become speedily
successful by assoeiation-by the banding
Of ourselves together, than in any other
way. The CALL is. therefore, pleased to
see that important steps have been taken In
this direction

NEW OCEAN CABLES.
How the Different Nations Are Gradual
Rninn IrrfIen.

How the Different Nations Are Gradually
Being United.
We shall pretty soon have news OF the
successful laying Of the new British cable
between Africa and Brazil, the next British
cable after that between this country and
the Bahamas. II is a fact that the great
majority Of the submarine cables Of the
world are In British hands, just as the
greater part Of the commercial steamships
on the high seas Of the world are in British
hands. These cables are made by Brit
ish ingenuity, laid by British enterprise
aud owned by British capitalists. They
are In the Atlantic, the Pacific and the In
dian oceans, as well as in the lesser seas,
and they make London the telegraphic CEN
ter Of the world. The British submarine
surveyors have recently found practicable
route for cable betw cen Japan aud the
British Canadian provinces on the Pacific
Coast of North America. thus preparing
the way for direct telegraphlc cOmmuniea-
ton between this continent aud the Asatic
continent. The Japanese Canadian cable
Will follow in Che wake of the new Japa-
nese-Canadian line Of steamships.
Africa will presently be connected with
Brazilian America, and Alaska will soon be
connected with Canadian America, as
Europe is now connected with the United
States. Looking at the lines from Europe
to Asia, to Africa, to Australia, to South
America and 10 North America, we cannot
help seeing how largely they are British in
their origin and in their ownership. 1t is
the British who are the chief cable-layers
OF the world.
1t WAS an American who. more than a
quarter OF a century ago, laid the first cable
across the Atlantic Ocean. We have not
done our proper share OF the business of
cable-laying since that time. The Central
and South American Telegraph Company, a
New York corporation, has done good
service within recent years In laying cables
that DOW run as far south as Valparaiso in
Chile; and we believe that its enterprising
president, Mr. James A. Scrymser, may
soon undertake several other important
projects in other waters.

Mayor SandeTsOn and Supervisor TabeT
Of the Street Committee Of the Board of
Supervisors have declared their readiness
to break their pledge TO keep the tax levy
down to 81 on the 500 on the basis Of
S275. 600. The excuse is that the dollar
limit does not furnish money enough 10
make needed improvements. This excuse is
urged il the face Of the admitted fact thar,
with one exception, San Francisco is the
most extensively governed city in the
United States Chairman Ebert Of tie
Finance Committee old not consider this
excuse valid. lie had pledged himself to
keep the tax levy down to the 81 limit and
he proposed, so far as his vote would 90, to
keep il down.
Iii a little singular that every two years
we have this display Of official disregard Of
the sacred character Of pledge, and a little
later these same officials so tefOre the mu-
uicipal conventions and take the same pledge
again. When the Republican municipal
convention meets there viii be less talk
about the insu6ieienCy Of the revenue OBJ
tanned under the dollar limit than there is
at present Il is quite probable that Mayer
SandersOn himself, who now declares his
belief that the prof. erty-hOlders would not
object to an increased levy, will 90 before
the next Republican convention aud take the
pledge over again.
The Finance Committee was attacked By
the heads Of three different Department.
Fire, Street ana School. The Fire Depart
ment wants four new chemical engine CON-
panes, three steamers and four trucks
during the coming year This was absO-
utely necessary to keep pace with the
growth Of the city. The Street Department
wants 100000, and Chairman Taber wants
10 allow it 5000 600. As the Superintendent
wants double the amount allowed the de-
partment two years ago, the city must be
growing pretty fast.
The School Department comes TO the
front with demand Tor S129. eco more than
il had last year. as the School Department
had last year about $50, COO more than it
had seven years ago, when the number OF
children attending school was within few
hundred Of the present attendance, the alb
solHte necessity Of the increase is not Ger
tainly self-eydent proposition. SuperiR-
tendent Swetl's reports show that there is
DO general increase 10 the attendance Of the
schools, and yet be indorses the demand
for more money.
The dollar limit is no longer an expert
ment 1t has been the law Of both parties
SO long that, In the absence OF an emer-
gency, there is no excuse for violating it.
Under the dollar limit the revenues increase
as fast as the city Increases in assessable
property. As a rule. the older and larger
cities grow the lower the percentage of the
cost of government. In this city, however,
the opposite seems to be the case. The
greater the wealth and the population the
larger the percentage taken out Of property
for government purposes. There is not
much choice between politicians in this re-
spect. Republican and Democratic poll
ticians join hands in an attack upon tile
taxpayers TIE CALL would suggest to
men who want to increase taxes that they
Call a convention upon that issue If the
voters want to abolish the dollar limit it is
their right TO do so.

WHAT IHE STATE COMMISSION
MAY DO.


A contemporary thinks that the act of the
Legislature appropTiatjng $500, 600 to assist
in representing the State al the Worlds
Fair should not be construed in q way to
prevent the commission from making the
most judiciOus expenditure Of the fund for
the best interests Of the State. The act Of
the Legislature making the appropriation is
quoted and also the decision Of the Supreme
Court affirming the cOnslitutionality Of the
act with the purpose to show that the State
Commission might make the best possible
use Of the fund. But our contemporary did
not quote the passage from the tNenty-sec-
ond section Of article " Of the State con-
stitUtiOn, which says: NO money shall
ever be appropriated or drawn from the
State treasury for the Use and benefit Of
any corporation, association, asylum, hos
pital or any other institution not under the
exclusive management aud control Of the
State or a State institution, nor shall any
grant or donation Of property ever be made
thereto by the State; provided" ETC., etc
What follows does not in any way qualify
or refer to the inhibition contained in the
passage quoted.

aid Of q California exhibit in the competi-
tive departments under the control Of the
Chicago directors should remain under
the exclusive management and control
Of the State or State institu-
ton" But the Chicago directors gave
the State Of California the use of a certain
portion Of the fair grounds in which dis
play may be made under the exclusive man
agement and control Of the State. We quite
agree with our contemporary that better
use of the State appropriation could be
made 10 the general exhibit than is posi-
bic in State exhibit But il will not do to
assume that in approving the constitution
atty Of the act on the public welfare"
principle, the Supreme Court intended
to release the commission from a positive
command Of the constitution. The question
was raised If the act would be constitutional
providing the fund was expended under the
control Of the State, and the court decided
that it would be. But if the question be-
fore the court had been the constitutionality
OF handing over sum of money to be ex-
pended by the Chicago directors, quite a
different decision would have been rem
dered. Courts may c0nstrue doubtful pas
sages of the constitution. but the power is
not given them to eliminate positive passages
which they may consider injurious to the
State.

TIE PROFIT OF coTToN-RAIs1Ne.

The Census Bureau has published few
figures regarding cotton raising in FIVE
Southern States, to wit, Tennessee, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas.
These five States produced in ISS9-9O some
100000 bales Of cotton, which is equal to
One-half Of the total crop OF a few years ago.
Mississippi alone produced 1,154, 406 bales.
These States vary considerable in pro-
ductiveness. Ia Tennessee it took on the
average 2. - acres Of land TO produce bale
Of cotton, 10 Alabama 1888 acres. Ia Missis-
sippi2.19 acres, in Louisiana /. 20 acres, in Ar
kansas LII acres. There is more land in Ala
bama than in the neighborin5 States when is
owned aud cultivated by freedmen; il appears
from the average product that their agri-
culture is less thorough than thatOf the white
men. In all the FIVE States the average in
cotton has increased during the past decade
BIB per cent in Tennessee, 1888 in Ala
bama, sc Sc in Mississippi, 46 SO 10 Louisiana
and 63O5 in Arkansas. Tennessee is rather
suited for grain-growing than cotton; but it
is curious that the increased acreage in
Alabama, which is essentially cotton
State, should be so much less than in Arkan-
sas, which ison the edge of the cotton belt
Ia the two great acknowledging States
of the five under review, Alabama and Mis-
sissiDpi, tie former averaged $40 OF per bale
for its crop, the latter S44 60. at this rate
cotton land in the first named State yielded
gross SIS Is per acre, and in the last named
SI7 sc per acre. Wheat land in this State
does well when IL yields gross SIS an acre,
and in most of the counties farmers have to
be content with much less. II does notseem
likely that the cotton lands OF the South
will again prove the source OF such large

their position relating to freight rates to
Honolulu has not been correctly stated.

to meet competition but never as low as so
cents per ton. A few days ago they dis

inference from the present furry to have

the Governor will not convene a special ses-

one. We heard several days ago that the

Of men the majority of whom had shown
themselves as untrustworthy. Indeed,
majority of the members of the last Lees-
lature were more reckless, If possible. in
their acts than any which has preceded
them. The Governor we were aware was
in the habit Of paying more Difference to
the wishes of politicians than to those Of
the public generally; hence we did not pre-
