THINGS he DID NOT ExeLAIN.

MI c. P. Huntington is reported as hav-
Ing chatted freely with a contemporary. as
be often does when he is permitted to direct
the course of the conversation. He is re-
ported as saying, among other things, that
the Southern Pacific Railroad Company lost
S1,500 600 by their local business last year.
The total revenue was about SIS, 600, COO,
while the expenditures were a little over
Sic SEQ CO., Mr.. Huntington has the repu-
tati0n Of being an expert at figures. He can
make them tell almost any story that the
emergency may require. 1t might have en-
barTa5sed him tOgYe all the Items of expense
which contribute to swell expenditures
beyond receipts, but doubtless, he could
do so If be desired. There would be the
cost Of keeping the Pacific Mail Company
out Of the transportation business, and the
cost OF compensating owners Of clipper
ships for going from San Francisco to New
York in ballast. Ia years past the cost Of
running political conventions has been
considerable item. Legislative bodies and
courts are expensive Injuries. II NAV be
comforting for the manager of a corporation
TO know that the courts of State will give
effect to his decisions. but no one can ex-
pect to possess this assurance without pay
ing for it. Mr.. Huntington's figures will
:,
Den5es of the local system of railroads are
greater than the revenues. Mr.. Leeds has
shown that rates are much higher in this
State than in some of the Western States
where the general conditions are quite
as unfaYorable as on this coast The
railroad company may pay little more for
coal on this coast. but that is the chief item
of expense which is greater on this coast
than il States with which comparison has
been made. The CALL published table o
few days ago showing the comparative rates
OF wages in this State and In tie East.
That table does not bear out the assertion
that higher wages are paid here than in the
East 1t is possible. though, that the army
Of lawyers that the Southern Pacific has em-
ployed are charged to the labor account.
Alr. Huntington is reported as having ex-
pressed the opinion that IN view of the re-
lations sustained by the railroad company
to the courts, tile expenses in the way of
counsel were excessive. Mr.. Huntington
intimates that while the railroad company
is now pretty nearly out Of politics, ii may
have to take hand in political management
somewhat after the old style. If for ex-
ample. the Legislature should pass an act
the effect of which was to impair the value
Of the Southern Pacific property, the COM
pany would call for protection on the
judicial arm Of the Government. The pub
lie have had so recent an example of the
effect of a call on the part of the Southern
Pacific on the judicial arm of the Govern
ment that no new object lesson is needed.
When the Supreme Court of the State re-
yersed itself to save certain political en-
ployes Of the Southern Pacific from trial
that might have had unpleasant conse-
queDees, the people were convinced that the
Southern Pacific had not been ia politics for
nothing.

ADVICE.

A newspaper whose proprietor is striv-
ing to run the Republican party in California
with the assistance of two or three bosses
advices cessation of 'squabbling and bick-
ering" which now exist in the party, land to
unite upon plan of action which cannot
be criticized or asSaiIed."
This is good advice if 1t means that the
Republican party should secure the nomi-
nation Of candidates for Office who will act
In the interest OF the public, but il it means
to have few bosses select such candidates
as were sent to the last Legislature, it is not
good advice. Republicans are not likely to be
satisfied with such condition faffairs as has
existed in this city for some time. We must
have an unspotted list OF candidates, or the
party will be defeated. At the last election
the Democracy were beaten because Buck
ley had ticket in the field which was
despicable. The Democratic party is now
striving to rid itself of bosses. and in case 1t
should succeed, a ticket made up by bosses,
although it may be termed Republican, is
Dot likely to win much favor.

THE CHINESE BILL PASSED.

The House made short work of the oppo-
stion to the Chinese exclusion bill. The
vote in favor OF the bill was four to oae
with something 10 spare, there being l79
alternatives TO foriy-twO negatives. This
substantially ensures the enactment of the
bill The Senate will hardly refuse consid-
Grafton 10 a bill which has passed the House
by So large a majority. To do so would be
giving a partisan aspect TO the question
which the Republicans are not foolish
enough to do. The peopleo of California may
therefore rest easy in the assurance that be-
fore the existing law expires there Will be
an equally good one TO take its place.

A noisy row took place last night
at the corner of Norfalk and
High streets, participated in by
several young men. which led to the ar

about IL o'clock. What caused the fight
was the tipping over OF a frankfort cart
by drunken fellow. The owner OF the
wagon was unable to visit instant ven
geance on the offender, and his
honor. The fellow was set upon and be-
labored by another named James Gala
CHER, who left him a complete wreck.

WARWICK.

Tomorrow night the citizens of the
lower part of the town will have an
opportunity OF listening to an address
upon "How to improve the highways"
and "Why the town should be bonded to
obtain the necessary funds"
The committee appointed under the
auspices Of the Business Mems Assocla-
ton have been actively at work, and a
large number Of the taxpayers have been
interviewed upon the subject. A promi-
nent member of one of the committees
was interviewed by the News reporter last
night and said that he was afraid the
project for bonding the town for so large
an amount as 300, 900, would not not be
success and that the persons he had
seen in regard to the matter SC
far were generally opposed to the
movement on account Of the amount
being so large, it being the
general opinion that the roads could
be repaired for less than one half OF the
amount proposed.
The interest, however, Is very great
and that the financial town meeting will
be one Of the liviest ever held In the towD,
there can be no doubt.
