now TO Gkr RELIEF.

The two national parties are, in Califor-
MIA, IF about equal strength. One party
carries the State at one election, and at the
next election the other party is quite likely
to come out ahead. In both parties the
Southern Pacific Bail1CLd Company IS the
controlling power. That company may be
said TO have 20 politics; il is for The party
which, at the time, can be made the greater
use Of. In both parties 4 large proportion
Of the voters are opposed to the dominance
OF the railroad company. These voters do
not Ike the idea that, vote as they may,
they must vote to retain the Southern Pa
ci1c in power They do not want to leave
the political party with which they have
acled to form party with the Southern Pa
ci6c as the sole Issue. In a Presidential year
especially, it is doubtful if a sufficiently
large proportion Of the voters in the two
parties would detach themselves from the
national parties to make opposition to the
Southern Pacific effective. What then, is
to be done? The answer is, TO form organ
iZations within each party which will
enable the voters in each TO vote against
Southern Pacific candidates. II may be as
sumed that the machinery Of both parties
IS in the hands Of friends Of the railroad
company. Political pTeferment in past years
has been secured by promising to make the
interests Of the Southern Pacific Company
first consideration in the case OF election.
The mass Of the voters, therefore, who are
opposed to the continued dominance Of the
railroad company should organize against
the Southern Pacific committeeman. Ac-
ton should be taken before primaries are
called. so that a full vote may be cast The
wing Of the party which polls the larger
vote viii elect delegates to the convention.
The first convention that viii be held will
be to nominate delegates to the National
Convention. There VIII probably be four
delegates-at-large to the National Conven-
tons and two from each Congressional dis
trict 1t is entirely within the power Of the
voters IN each district to elect delegates who
will not receive Instructions from The South
ern Pacific. But to 90 so there must be
unity Of purpose and organization. If the
people let things drift, things VIII drift the
old way. The old channels are worn, but
all lead to the Offices Of the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company. We may add that the
party which takes the boldest stand against
the company and dominates for Congress
and the Legislature men most reliable in
opposition to the eXactIons Of that company
Will stand the best chance Of carrying the
State in November.

SAN FRANCISCO A SEAPORT.

The Traffic Association is celebrating
upon the best means of relieving the pro-
ducers of the State from the bondage Of the
Transcontinental Association. 1t is under
stood to be weighing the advantages Of
American competing railroads, lines of
steamers, foreign competing roads and such
other methods Of transportation as may
occur to them THE CALL has already
directed the attention Of the association to
the almost-forgotten fact that San Francisco
is a seaport Any method OF competition
which leaves out of consideration this fact
viii be temporary at best. In the end the
competition which will bring the Southern
Pacific and all other railroads to fair rates
will be by sea- A city lying at the end of
railroad system cannot be a distributing
point for any large proportion of the terri
tory these railroads traverse. 1t is impos-
sible to give a reason why goods should be
brought to San Francisco through the cities
for which they are destined and carried
back from san Francisco to these cities.
But when we consider san Francisco as a
seaport the case assumes another aspect.
The bulk IF goods which the interior con-
sumes can be brought to san Francisco by
sea al a much lower cost for transportation
than they can be landed in interior cities
by the railroad. Consequently San Fran
cisco merchants receiving freight by sea
may sell 10 interior merchants at
lower rates than Eastern merchants
can supply the interior merchant with
by way Of railroads The interior
merchant buys where he can the cheapest
lie gets his goods from New York or Chi
cage only when the wholesale merchants Of
these Eastern cities can supply him at
lower rates than the San Francisco mer-
chant, san Francisco by being al the west
ern extremity Of the railroad system has
found that Eastern merchants sell almost
all along he line cheaper than the san
Francisco merchant can afford. Wien san
Francisco receives the bulk Of lis goods by
sea all this Will be changed. Some kinds OF
goods are brought from Liverpool to san
Francisco for 81 per ton. 1t is estimated
that goods may be brought from Eastern
ports TO San Francisco 10y steamer at from
S. to $40 per ton. The railroad charges
from $50 10 $40 per ton. Freight by Panama
need not be more than by the Strait of Ma
gellan if a competing line were put on the
shorter route. 1t seems conclusive there
fore that competition must come from the
sea. The Canadian Pacific is only tenn
porary expedient. The people of this State
are not 10 be driven to build up a foreign
line Of road as means OF competition with
the tTansCOntIneutai lines

A HARD DEAL.
Judge TrOutt Declines to Entertain Couu-
anlnr. i-ln-I.n,a 4 ~. unnnnA

Judge 'FRONT.' Declines to Entertain Couu-
seior Clarke's Argument.
The habeas corpus writ of Joseph Wal
lace, Issued by the Supreme Court and made
returnable before Judge Trout, was heard
Yesterday afternoon. Alfred Clarke APP
peared as the prisoners attorney, and strug-
gled with heroic might for an hour or more
TO convince the Judge that Wallace is and
has been deprived of his liberty because
the Indictment on which he was tried and
convicted IS fatally defective. in that it does
not specify exactly where the OfIense was
committed aud just what court had juTisdic-
ton.
The Indictment simply specified that the
crime was committed Gin The city and
county Of San Francisco" and Mr.. Clarke
maintained that that IS not sufficiently
specific, because within San Francisco are
many square miles OF United States reserva-
tons, within which The Federal courts have
exclusive jurisdiction. The indictment, he
declared, should haYr read in the city and
county Of san Francisco, and not within
the United States reservations" IN other
words, the failure of the indictment 10
specify that the crime Was committed
within the city aud county of San Fran
cisco, but n0i in any Of the reservations,
such as the Preside, Fort Mason, the Sub
Treasury or tile rootofhce. made IL fatally
defective.
Judge Trout listened to the counselor
with great lOrtituie, and when he had flu
Wallace into custody, without even wait
ing to hear what Assistant Distant Attor-
ney Hnkle had to say on behalf of the

WORLDS FAIR FINANCES.

The National Commission Of the Worlds
Fair seems TO have placed itself in aatago-
nism to the Local Directory in the application
of a gift Of S5,0O0O0O to enable the Local
Directory TO carry out its plans. Director
General Davis, speaking for the National
Commission, says that that commission is
not antagonstic to the appropriation, but
las not yet made up its mind to recommend
1t. There has been for long time quiet
anlagonism between the Chicago Directory
and the National Commission The National
Commission claims that it is charged with
the general duty of directing the fair, while
the Chicago Directory think that the city
which has given SO 900. 900 to the enterprise
should exercise some other power than that
Of selecting sites. While the organization
Of the Worlds Fair may be somewhat cum
bersOme. there is no choice at this stage Of
proceedings but to proceed as 1t is. The
ability Of the American people to present
an exhibit that will bear comparison with
other worlds exhibits is now 10 be tested.
If there Is partial failure it will do 10 say
IN excuse that we organized on defective
plan, or that we entrusted the details to in
competent men. The world takes nation

A DIsCOKDANr VOICE.

One of our Eastern visitors thinks San
Francisco needs nothing so much as q few
fr>t-cIasS funerals. As the same voice has
been raised 10 advocacy Of Chinese immi-
grafton, there are people in this city who
viii doubt its wisdom. The voice probably
means well, but it does not know what it is
talking about II is urged that ia the last
three years Denver and Omaha have put up
their finest buildings. 1t may be added also
that in Denver. and in Omaha perhaps TO
less extent, these fine buildings are mostly
JeuantlesS. The voice says also that in Sc
attic and in Tacoma houses spring up rs by
mage Possibly they do, but people from
those cities complain that they are in the
ebb of a boom. They nope to do better in
tine future, but find things somewhat dull
iast now. Tie voice that found It's way into
print is but an echo of the voice around it.
There are a few people in this city who
think that the path to prosperity lies
through a b0nd-mjll. We must make san
Francisco the Paris Of America if the Sl5-
100000 or 100000 Of bonds the State Con-
sttuton viii allow us 10 Issue VIII do il.
The home b0Odler we will always have
with Us, and we do not find him difficult to
manage, but strangers who know nothing
Of the conditions they assume to discuss
may give Us more trouble. They will speak
to people Who do not know that they are
talking about things they know nothing

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
DR.. Antiques Installed-A Salary
Grab Nipped.

Dr. Joseph L. Antiques, the newly APP
pointed Supervisor of the First Ward to
succeed Henry Evans, deceased. was duly
installed in Office at last nights meeting of
the board.
BY resolution Immediately adopted Dr.
Antiques was appOin ted to the committee
positions occupied by his predecessor, and
also to a position on the Judiciary Commit
tee, vice Supervisor Taber, resigned.
The position of gardener at the Columbia
square, which was occupied by Thomas
Fox, was declared vacant. Fox is the man
who was arrested on Saturday for commit
ting an outrageous assault on a little six
year-Old girl IN the Toulouse of the square
over which he presided.
The Metropolitan Railway Company was
granted permission to explode blasts on
O'FarTell street, from Hyde to Laguna, and
on Hyde street, from OFarrell to Eddy, for
the purpose of preparing the rOadbed Of
their railway.
resolution was passed oyerruling the
objections of prOperty-oV ners 70 the extern
sion Of PotreTO avenue, Ellert and Hyer
voting in the negative.
Supervisor Ebert fought the resolution on
the ground that the district affected was too
large and the probability that assessments
would be also too large.
Supervisor Taber replied that large dis
tTlctS were the only salvation or such eX-
tensiye and important improvements.
When the district is small the burdens of
assessment are spondingly greater on
those who have to foot the bills. 1t could
not be urged that property was going to be
assessed that would not be benefited,
because there is not a foot Of property
in South San Francisco, or for miles on
either side Of the proposed improvement
that would not be materially benefited the
moment the work begins. POrtreTO avenue
thus extended will be one of the grand ave-
nues Of San Francisco, 100 feet in width
and the only direct outlet Of the city with
out heavy grades.
The resolution proposing TO grant the
Commissioners appointed to open and eX-
send Twenty-ffth and Twenty-seventh ave-
nues and New street, in the Point Lobos
District, six months extension OF time was
defeated, Burning, Coffee and Williamson
only voting fer il.
The Commissioners who have this work
in hand are 4. T. SiOtts. c. II. Haswell and
John D0ugherty, and the entire distance is
about four blocks. Supervisor ElIert's OBJ
lection 10 the extension OF time was that it
was a cold steal, that year to open four
blocks was simply outrageous. 1t was sim
ply dodge on the part OF three politicians
to get a few hundred dollars more salary.

NOT GUILTY.
Sergeant Whitman EXOnerated Of
Bride Taking.

Police Commissioner Daniel Burns was
absent last night from the meeting of the
Board Of Police Commissioners. Commits
sioners Tobin, Alvord and Chief of Police
Crowley answered the roll-call.
The charges Of receiving money from
various persons illegally, preferred by ex-
Police officer 7. J. Kelly against Police
Sergeant George Whitman, were taken up
for hearing by the board. Maggie Smith.
Rose Kelly George SImOns and others
named By Kelly IN his affidavit as having
gwen Whitman money 10 secure police nl-
munIty were sworn and denied ever having
given " ittman any money or any pres nt.
{. y. StIllwell, an Examiner REPORTER
testified that Slmons had told him he had
given Whitman $40 TO be allowed 10 run
gambling game without arrest in his saloon
on Bush street near Dupont. a sO that he
mad arranged with SlmOns that Whitman
should be given a marked $50 piece, and
that Whitman should then be searched by
Chief Crowley. SimOns at the last moment
declined to carry out the plan. StilWell
stated that he was detailed to investigate
the rumOrs that the police were accepting
brides. lie had been unable 10 discover any
proof nculDating Whitman.
EXOtticeT Kelly took the stand and COM
menced his testimony by referring back TO
certain occurrences in 1884. As these mat
terS were not included in the present
charges brought by Kelly, the Commission
ers refused to hear about them. and in
structed the witness to cOnhne himself TO
the preferred charges under consideration.
Kelly stated he had no further testimony
than that contained in his afidavits to offer.
Sergeant Whitman swOre that he. had
never received any money Illegally from
any one since be had been on the force.
The Commissioners in open board, dis
missed the charges against Whitman and
fully eXCncrated him.

4 Doctor Stood by Unable to Check the

Speaking Of the prevalence of paralysis,
says the Pomona Progress, a Los Angeles
physician told Us the other day that the
most trying time in all his experience was
during the pRst five weeks. when he stood
hupelessly by and saw a poor ranchman
near Puente die by inches Of what is known
rs progressive paralysis. The patient was
first taken in one big toe Of the left foot.
In a short time the limb was paTalyzed to the
knee, and the disease cTept onward as does
the irresistible tide. Two physicians were
called and all the known remedies were APP
piled 10 stay the progress OF the deadening
attack, but in vain. Hour by hour death
moved on its victim. The patient was
proIped up in an arm chair and fully real
lied his condition. He waited the end with
this GOODNESS and bravery OF a martyr As
the line Of death crept nearer and nearer
his heart he made calculations as to how
much longer he could 1--we. lie said Now
