When Jim Rea Is in San Francisco he is
not very big man. He is simply president
OF the Southern Pacific Company's Board
OF Railroad Commissioners. He comes mn
mere every Monday to stay few bours-
not to earn his salary, but to make a stagger
at it.
lie is the man who calls persons who
bring complaints OF railroad trickery before
him common cranks."
he draws $4,000 year from the State as
Railroad Commissioner, and the peonIe
could we'll afford to pay to him ten times as
much to surrender his office TO some one
who would capably and efficien thy represent
them.
Rea has a good-looking, rather bovIsb
face. and generally wears q smile that ia
childlike and bland.

rather small.
But when he takes the train for San Jose
he begins to be larger, and as each succeed-
ing station is passed he swells and swells
until hnally, when the train runs into tn q
station at San Jose he has to go out of tn
car sideways. as the door is size too small
for him.
This is because so many people are afraid
of him.
But as large as be Is In San Jose he can
not poll the vote OF Santa Clara County for
Jim Rea any more.
His name is like irebrand to the honest
ranchers IN the county.

Rea you will be lucky If you escape with
your life.

districts.

get the work OF construction commenced
within the next week or two.
Mr.. Spiers is naturally very much graft
fed that he has been able TO procure such a
splendid location and feels confident that
under the new and favorable conditions the
business will rapidly grow in volume and
Importance second 10 none on the Pacific
Coast. The site Is admirably adapted for
shipbuilding, and the large extent Of
ground will enable him to 60 on adding
to the buildings without crowding tor many
years to come. He will have no difficulty
In meeting the condition that within six
months they must be working up to the
same capacity as before the fire.
An illustration of the ground plan Of the
works is shown herewith. The block Of
land, which comprises 90 acres, Is bounded
by Railroad avenue. Water street, Hay
market and Commerce streets. The latter
street runs along the front of the basin. A
wharf 300 feet long will be constructed
from Commerce street TO floating dry
dock 125x3OO feet, and not far distant from
the drydOck there will be large shed 60x400
feet. Two railroad switches will be put in
close 10 the works, one on Water street and
the other on Railroad avenue, and the rail-
road tracks Will practically surround the
works. Transportation facilities both by
rail and water are therefore afforded Of the
most favorable kind. The basin which
measures 7C0Xl400 feet, will be sufficiently
dredged within the next six months 20 per-
NIT of its use by the Fulton Works for
transportation purposes. As stated Ia THE
CALL Of yesterday Mr.. Spiers will have a
steam launch constantly plying between the
works and the Office and machine-shop in
the city.
The early completion of the new works
will enable the Fulton people 10 execute
contracts recently closed for the building
of a number OF vessels, and IL is expected
that very soon the number OF employees,
amounting at the time of the fire to 800, Will
be more than doubled.
Baden has every prospect OF becoming a
large manufacturing center. The erection
OF the stocEyard and abattoir is being
pushed on with the utmost expedition, and
when in thorough working order they will
give employment 10 nearly 1900 persons.
This, coupled with the employees of the Full
ton Iron Works, will make of itself a good
sized town

Why He Protests Against the Sixteenth

The report of F. T. Newberry. civil en-
gineer of the SiXteenth-S1reet extension, was
filed with the Board of Supervisors Yester-
day afternoon by AdOlph Sutro. who in a
communication accompanying it asked that
the report be considered his protest against
the extension work. In the report the Pc
culiar form OF the boundaries OF the assess
ment district are criticized. as well as the
method Of assessment. In it the fact is
noted that one block belonging TO Colonel
{. 4. Croker is not taxed and that some
outside lands are assessed at $40 n block,
while others range from 500 TO $3.50. The
report concludes as follows:

A successful business man was asked by
Cincinnati Enquirer man the other day
the secret Of his success. "Wel," said he,
"it is all due to some good advice given to

out Of job one time and went to my old

FREE COINAGE IN CONGRESS.

The indications are that the
Bland bill for the free coinage of
silver will never pass the lower
house of congress. This is sur
prise to the country, and a sore dis
appointment to the silver produc-
ing states.
A few months ago the outlook
was bright for free coinage meas
ure. Last week ON motion to Law
the Bland bill on the table the
vote stood 14S to 14S, and was
saved by the casting vote of Speaker
Crisp.
What, it may be asked, has
caused this change Of attitude?
The answer is simple: 1t is the
tyrrany Of party politics. New
York is doubtful state. Either
party to win in the next election
must have that state. New York
gold bugs are opposed to free coin
age. Any party that champions
free coinage will be defeated in that
state in the next campaign. There
fore the rest Of the country must
dance to the music of New York
state, or rather to a moneyed fac
ton which seems to be in control.
Until people vote more for their
interests and less for their party
the supremacy OF the peoples in
terests is an ''iridesccnt dream"
Why should the whole country be
ruled by small moneyed class in
one state?
