THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC IN THE
SENATE.

When the Chinese bill came up for con-
sideraton in the Senate, Senator FRYE OF
Maine read a telegram from c. T. Hunting
ton, IN which somewhat elaborate argu-
ment was made against an exclusion bill
Mr.. Huntington naturally reviewed the
question from the railroad standpoint. He
said that since 1888 Cinnamon had paid Amer
lean transportation companies $3.50, 900. This
traffic would 60 TO foreign countries il the
Geary bill should be passed. Probably Mr..
Huntington could not think Of more conclu-
sive argument against the proposed bill than
that transportation companies would lose
about S37. 600 year on account of Chinese
exclusion. The Southern Pacific seems
fairly represented IN the Senate. MI Stan
ford is regular member of that body in
good standing, despit his somewhat lrregu-
lar attendance upon its proceedings. How
he would vote on the Chinese bill if he we're
in his seat DO one bit himself knows. The
people only know how his partners in the
transportation business talk. Mr.. Hunting
ton says also that there have been 50. 600
more departures than arrivals at the port Of
San Francisco since the restriction bill was
enacted. 1t is pretty we'll known to every
one but Mr.. Huntington that the arrivals of
Chinese are not reported. They mostly
come by way of Canada. There are no
signs in San Francisco of falling off in the
Chinese population. They are extending
their limits every year. They report a de-
crease in number for business reasons. The
fewer there are of them the better wages
those few will command. II yet remains to
be seen if Mr. Huntington's estimate of the
patriotism and intelligence of the Senate
will be sustained by its action. A great
question, involving the comfort and happi-
ness Of millions of white men and women,
Is under consideration, when this railroad
manager sends to Washington by wire the
pitlful argument that il the bill becomes
law the railroads with which lie is connected
will lose traffic amounting to S35, 600 or
S37, COO year. The argument is evidently
made in good faith. MIR. Huntington is ap-
parently incapable of taking any but rail-
road view Of public question.

faction with affairs as they are. We may
literally discount the sincerity OF the ap-
pTehensions which are said to be enter
tanned. Some of the rumors may. indeed.
have no better origin than a suspicious
police source. There is one feature of this
years alarms novel. The police in Paris
are said TO be on the eve OF a strike for
more wages. They could not have chosen
a more opportune time TO apply pressure
upon their paymasters nor more awkward
one to excite feeling of insecurity in the
public breast. 1t may be doubted, however.
whether any policeman in his senses is in
clined to throw off his uniform for the sake
of Joining the anarchists. Grievances in
the ranks are hardly sufficient motive for
support to crazy schemes which would turn
society topsy turvy and relegate the world
TO the chaos of first principles.
The marriage of Thomas Lake Harris Of
Fountain Grove. Santa Rosa. with one of
the jewellers in his institution, has been
duly chronicled in the English papers and
among them the Pail Mali Budget. which
honors the mystic with flatterlng portrait
that makes him appear innocent as dove
and much wiser than a serpent. Sketches
of the retreat in which he governs his fol-
lowers are also presented. The prophet
Is stated TO have given his submissiODto the
words OF the service, until death dc us
part" with hesitation, Oh the ground that
he does not acknowledge the inevitability
of death. In this respect he resembles the
Koreshan prophet. iced, who has some
how succeeded in convincing his followers
that they will continue to adorn this earth
indefinitely. They will not even leave il to
escape the payment of taxes. The assur-
ance is given that before his departure on
his wedding trip Harris so arranged his
worldly affairs that any member of the CON-
munity may at will Withdraw the whole of
his or her property. Notwithstanding this
startling concession it is exceedingly i'm
probable that he will ever again fascinate
another individual OF the mental gifts Of
Lawrence Oliphant.

THE SUGAR TRUST.

Some OF the New York free-trade papers
contend that without the half cent
pound duty Oh refined sugar the trust could
not be sustained. The fact that the trust
advanced the price of sugar half cent a
pound about the time 1t obtained control of
the Philadelphia reineries gives the free
trade papers an opportunity to say that IL
there had been no duty the advance could
not have been made. When Congress re-
moved the duties from raw sugar it retained
duty on refined sugar of one-haIf of one
cent pound to keep the refining industry
In the country. The refneries give employ
ment to large number OF men whose
wages are based on the American standard.
Whether the industry could be retained if
the half cent pound duty should be with
drawn is matter for experts 10 determine.
Mr.. Hayemeyer testified before a Congress
sional committee that with free sugar
American re6neries could hold the market
against those Of England. As sugar is a
cheap article in proportion to weight and
bulk. the cost OF moving il from England TO
the United States is measure of protec-
ton. In view Of the fact that the trust
seams disposed to make use Of the duty as a
means OF extorlion. il might be we'll to take
even the present light duty off refined
sugar. Some foreign sugar might find Its
way into our market, but as COMPENSATION
the trust would not have the power to charge
half cent pound more than cost with q
reasonable profit. Taxing the quantity OF
sugar consumed in the United States last
year as the basis, an advance Of half a cent
pound If maintained for year would put
$4,000. 900 in the treasury of the trust.

The opinion of Coils z. Huntington of the
Southern Pacific Railway on the benefits Of
having Chinese immigration unrestricted,
even if the country becomes peopled with
Mongolians, has never been in doubt. lie
is friend of the ChinamaD, because the
Cbinaman has been cheap railroad laborer
in the past and lie seems TO think his pat
ronage valuable as traveller. In tele-
gram which he has sent TO friend in the
Senate, he mentions that since January,
1888. the Chinese have paid for railroad
transportation alone S350.000. This is a
drop IN the bucket compared with the reve-
nues derived from transportation paid by
the white population, but Mr.. Huntington is
Indifferent to that aspect of the case.
III there were million of Asiatics
here he would regard their presence
as triumph Tor civilization and
progress, as represented by the South
parture Of Chinese merchants from the
coast, because they have withdrawn with
them hundreds OF thousands of dollars
which might have been tithed by the rail-
way company; but he is oblivious Of the
fact that white merchants are capable of
transacting all the business of the
coast. and would succeed Infinitely
better if the Southern Pacific would
give them helping hand by cutting
down Its monstrous rates. Nobody is sur

THE PRIMARY on SATURDAY.

A portion of the Republican party will
hold primary elections tomorrow. The
Republican participants in the elections
will not be so numerous as was at one time
hoped for the reason that the faction OF the
party which nominated the last legislative
ticket is believed 10 have so fixed things
that opposition will be Ineffective In fact
a member of the County Committee declared
on Wednesday evening that the only way to
prevent another term of CTimmins and
Kelly rule is to nominate an independent
ticket. There was hope some weeks ago,
when twenty-five new members were added
to the County Committee, that a reorgan ia
ton would follow on a basis that would
command public confidence. This hope
has net been realized. The County Cont
mttee is at the present time as com pletsly
under the control of the Crimmins and
Kelly faction as il was when the Burns
Wilson faction seeded. The result anti
cipated is a Crimmins and Kelly delegation
to the State convention. which will elect
delegates to the national Republican con-
yentioD. TIE party will be handicapped in
the coming Presidential election by the
fact that it is locally under the same control
as it was two years ago, when the last
Legislature was elected. The Democracy
has thrown Buckley over, but the Republi-
cans have not had sufficient energy to get
lid OF Crimmins aud Kelly. The record of
the last Legislature should have warned
the substantial men of the party that the
time had come to commence again. Our
people are patient, but they will not stand
everything.

pledged to protective policy, yet if .he

open our ports to free trade. Indeed, it
would be better to permit free trade with
China than TO have the United States over

habit any portion Of the globe.
