THE swoKN-cOMPLAINr TRAP.

When the Traffic Association began to
move in the matter Of getting a reduction
Of rates Of transportation the Railroad
Commission refused to consider statements
that were not submitted in the form of
sworn complaints. The Traffic Association
did not fall into the trap, but in the course
Of time a man was found who would prefer
a sworn complaint The commission pro-
pose to sit as a court hearing complaints
that must be shown to be correct in whole
or in part. The Colusa and Lake Rail-
road Company now make answer that so far
as the complaint refers to that road it is un-
founded. The Colusa and Lake Company
are giving as cheap service as the nature
Of the country they operate IN will permit.
The company has made no profit at present
rates and reduction would cripple the
road. All this may be and doubtless is true
But it does not prove that the same rates
charged for similar service through level
ana thickly settled portion of the State
may not be reduced without Injustice to the
railroad companies.

THE GRoTEsoUE IN POLITICS.

few days since a number of men went
from one wing Of the local Republican
party to the other. The individuals who
had been convinced that the Crimmns and
Kelly wing held out greater hopes of
political preferment than the Burns Ruef
wing marched in a procession from the
headquarters Of one wing to the headquar-
ters of tie other wing. There were enough
of them in number 10 make considerable
noise with the aid Of fife and drum. Since
the accession TO the Crimmins-Keily crowd
there has leen considerable speculation as
to the inducements offered by the Third
street bosses to win the Burns men over 1t
IS reported that one was offered the nomi-
nation for Sheriff and the others the privi-
lege Of naming Congressional nominees in
the Fourth ard Fifth districts. Can there
be anything more deplorable in politics or
out than the spectacle If Cdmmins and
Kelly dealing out nominations as A gambler
might throw round a pack Of cards?

AS United States troops have been or
dered to the scene of disturbance in the
C@ur d'Alene mines it may be hoped that
whatever settlement is arrived at between
the union and non-uniOn men there Will be
no further loss of life. The work has been
sanguinary thus far, and the stOppage Of
further bloodshed is most desirable. 1t
would, indeed, be one of the blessings of
the age were courts established for the ad-
justment Of these industrial wage wars
now becoming so very bitter between en-
pl0yers and employed. A considerable
amount of San Francisco capital is at stake
in these disturbances at the C9ur d 'Alenes.
The japanese are pouring into this coun-
try at an alarming rate. During the year
which closed with June two-ffths of the
total arrivals by sea came from Japan to
San Francisco. The total immigration was
1904, of which 1887 were Japanese. There
can be no question that these men cause
very serious disturbance of labor condl-
tionS or the coast. They enter into aay
kind Of employment for almost nominal
wages, and their introduction into dOmes-
tie service, as has been the case with the
Chinese, drives the American ont If house
hold work in disgust. Such immigration Is
home life i'll homogeneous, settled man
ner.
When The British Government adopts
precautions against the Importation of for
elgn rags from France, it is a pretty sure
sign that the danger from cholera is one not
TO he underestimate. During the summer
months, with bad sanitation. great heat and
contain mated water supply in most Of the
European cities, cholera has a fine chance
10 spread, and medical science ought 10
neglect no precaution TO eheckmate the at
tack. Fortunately, we are well situated on
this coast to defy invasion. But 1t may
come TO us readily enough across the conti-
nent, If once the disease reaches New York.
1t Is hardly to be dreamed OF that cholera
will cross the Pacific Ocean from any of the
Chinese ports, but we have TO be on our
guard against an epidemic of smallpox
reaching US from Vancouver Island.
The majority given to Mr. Gladstone in
Midlothian is decidedly disappointing to
himself and 10 his supporters. Correspond
ingly his enemies are elated. But it should
be borne in mind that large number of the
Scotch are, on religious grounds. friendly to
the opinions of the ProteStants of Ulster
as regards home rule for Ireland. Never
thelesS Mr.. Gladstone will have majority.
and Will come into office as Premier Tor the
fourth time. LORD Salisbury has apparently
decided 10 wait for a hostile vote in PaTlia-
ment before yaCating flee. That hostile
vote will come upon the debate on the ad-
dress to the Queens speech, which Is always
the first business OF Parliament. Some OF
Mr.. GladstOne's colleagues. when they take
Office, will have to fight hard for their seats
upon seeking reelection 1t Is quite prob

Mr.. Clark said as matter Of introduction
that neither he nor his company had any
desire or intention TO connect the Union
Pacific with any one of the projected lines
which are about TO be built from this city
eastward.
Besides pleasure there is only one object
for my visit here" said he, land that is to
see the Central Pacific people or their repre-
sentatives the Southern Pacific officers, in

Mr.. Clark positively denied that the COM
panY he is president of has anything TO do
with the proposed Salt Lake and San Fran
cisco. the California Midland or any other
road about to be built. lie admitted how
ever, that former presidents Of the Union
Pacific have given much consideration TO
surveys made, but he is quite certain
they never encouraged any one OF the
schemes proposed to them.
Mr.. Clark IS 4 man who does not like 10
talk freely to newspaper men and every one
of his utterances has to be extracted by the

IN response TO many questions was that he
had TO see the Southern Pacific people on

THE RIGHT MAN IN THE PLACE

A New York dispatch says that ex-
SECRETARY Whitney has reconsidered his r.
fusal to accept the post Of chairman OF the
Democratic National Committee Both Mr..
Cleveland and Tammany Hall want Mr..
Whitney to accept. Tammany wants Whit
ney because he thoroughly understands
local politics. and Cleveland wants him, lot
exactly because Tammaly does, but because
Whitney, more than any other man. can bring
the two wings Of the New York Democracy
together. The effect of putting representa-
tiyes Of the Standard Oil Company in
charge Of the Democratic canvass has not
apparently been much considered Leaders
