POINTING OUT TIE OFFENDERS.


Concerning the failures OF grand jurles TO
indict b0odlers, our Democratic contempt
raTy says:
Tie people know there is plenty Of work for
an honest Grand Jury. . The EUGminer
has pointed oui the offenders, proven the cases
against tgen, and Tie honest people Of The State
VIII GO, be content until an honest Grand Jury
has brought the shameless b00ders before the
bar O. justice.
Our esteemed contemporary has pointed
out BTguer aud other small fry whose off
clal votes have been for sale 20 the highest
bidders. Fer tbs work the Examiner
should receive due credit But there are
other parties to be pointed out, men who
stand behind Bruner. What influence
Turned aside the lightning that the last
Grand jury had directed upon certain men,
heTs of the last Legislature? Why did not
Richard Chute obey the summons Of the
Grand Jury? What induced Greed Hay
moRd 10 appear in Judge Murphy's court to
convince the court that the Grand Jury had
NJ legal existence? What influence was
sufficiently powerful to induce Judge Mur-
ply TO give decision which is likely to
close his judicial career? And. last of all.
VI hat power exists in this State that can
say TO the Supreme Court that men like
BTUner must be screened at whatever cost to
the judicial conscience? 1t is all very well
to point out the little b0odlers, but such
pointing out will amount to nothing while
the power remains that can turn the course
Of justice aside The CALL has traced this
miscarriage Of efforts TO bring boOdlers TO
justice somewhat further.
AsDiTants for Office have Frustrated them
selves before tie railroad Juggernaut and
humbly asked its support While il Will
not be contended that this power has die
tated the nomination Of each aud every can
didate, il is beyond reasonable question that
il has held a kind Of veto power over con-
yentiUns Of both parties. II may be asked
Why the railroad managers should interest
themselves to save boodeFs. The answer
is that, with honest and fearless men in
Office, The management of the Central Pa
ci1ic Railroad Company might have been
exposed, and the men who had betrayed
their trust brought to an accounting. The
speech THE CALL published Tuesday,
showing how the Central Pacific Railroad
owners had realized gigantic fortunes out Of
that property, while the company is prac-
ticaly bankrupt, was not made by Cali
fGrnia Congressman. The facts were all
before our delegation, but no man could be
elected TO Congress who dared TO speak
And the man who profted as largely as any
other by the fraudulent management of the
Central Pacific Railroad Company fills, in a
corporal sense, a seat in the Senate-a seat
obtained according 10 general belief by the
use Of money obtained by the management
the Pennsylvania Congressman exposed.
It's Of little use to shoot off popguns at the
little offenders while the big ones are al
lowed to go free.

AMERICAN DOMESTIC TRADE.

A contemporary laments the fact that
American navigation laws forbid American
register to vessels built abroad 1t is as
sumed that If American shippers could buy
their vessels in the cheapest market they
would be able to compete with European
nations for the foreign carrying trade. 1t
should be remembered that the ocean
carrying trade is done by parties without
regard TO nationality who can offer the
lowest rates. If Government contributes
directly through subsidies or indirectly
through liberal compensation for carrying
foreign mails its shippers can consider that
fact ia making bids. The trade is open to
the lowest bidder. The parties having
freight TO ship do not care whether the car
rier pays all his own expenses or whether
the Government pays part of it. What
the shippers look out for is TO get the lowest
rates the work can be done for. Now. if the
United States should repeal all laws deny
ing American register TO foreign-built YES
sells. what proportion of the carrying trade
would this country get? Other things than
the cost Of vessels are 10 be counted in
making up the cost of a trip. Perhaps the
most important next to the cost of the vessel
is the rates OF wages paid officers and crew
In this respect European countries have at
least 40 per cent the cheapest service. Now.
Ii we could buy ships ia Europe as cheaply
as our competitors, what chances would we
have OF taxing the ocean carrying trade
away from them while wages are so much
higher in this country than in Europe
But there is another Point in addition to
subsidies which our contemporary does not
consider. What would become of our
domestic carrying trade if il was open to
foreign vessels manned by cheap foreign
crews? Can We afford to sacrifice this i'm
mense eoaStwse trade which We now
possess entirely for the small proportion of
the ocean carrying trade which We would
secure If we could buy ships abroad and
give them American register? The reasons
why We could compete with England in the
ocean carrying trade in 1850 and cannot in
1890 have often been stated. We could make
wooden vessels al less cost than England.
while England can make iron vessels at less
cost than the American shipbuilder. Eng
land held her domestic trade in 1850 in
spite OF the fact thar American vessels were
cheaper than the British by her ability TO
do the work az as low cost as any foreigner.
If English wages had been 20 per cent
higher than American England would not
have held her domestic trade against
American cheap ships and cheap labor.

Is 1T TO STOP ACTION

A contemporary says that a movement is
being made by a few wealthy men in this
city," without any f0urishing of trumpets
or beating of drums, and IS, 000. 900 has been
subscribed FOR the construction of railroad
between San Francisco and Salt Lake.
Perhaps this is so. but the public does not
yet see the road. Another railroad to Salt
Lake would be something, but who knows
what it would do for US? San Francisco
should, without waiting for more railroads,
open communication with the outside world
by water. Above all other considerations
is that which contemplates the election of
Railroad Commissioners in California who
are not owned by the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company. California requires
honest Railroad Commissioners, and our
citizens can obtain them for this State at
least as soon as they take the control of
elections out Of the company's hands. Our
merchants will be compelled to drive the
railroad out Of politics else we cannot live.
What folly ii is to permit Stanford and CON-
pany 10 dictate who shall I'LL all Of the i'm
portant Offices in this State. Our citizens
should move on Washington also. We
ought TO send no more men TO Congress who
depend upon the railroad company for sup
port. The National Railroad Commissioners
are of not much more use to this State than
are our local board. If our State Railroad
Commissioners and our Judges were not
dependent upon Stanford and company
for their positions California would at once
be on the road to prosperity. Ii half
dozen capitalists In this city whom we could
maine were to build railroad to Salt Lake
California would not be much benefited
thereby. Californians must see to 1t that
they do not elect any more of the instruments
of the railroad to offices if they wish to be
free and prosperous.

SENATOR DOLPH.

Senator Dolph may be said to have put
period to his political career. Not only has
he killed himself politically. but he has
done what be can to bring about the defeat
OF the Republican party in the coming
election. No party not sound on the Chinese
Issue can carry Pacific Coast State. no
matter who may be at the head of its
ticket Senator Dolph has reported from
the Foreign Relations Committee a bill
giving the present law relating TO Chinese
immigration another ten-year lease OF life.
This would have been better than nothing,
but ii was not the best that could be done.
Geary's exclusion bib, coming from the
House WITH four to one majority, had been
before the Senate committee and might
have been reported. Had the Senate CON-
mittee accepted il there is little Doubt
that the Senate would have passed it, The
Chinese question then would have been set
tied in the only way il can ever be settled.
The influence Of transportation companies
is apparent in this pTo-Chinese movement.
Neither the Northern Pacific Railroad nor
the Canadian Pacific is willing to forego
the profit of Transporting Chinese from
Hong-kong 10 the United States. Up 10
the present time political death has been
considered so certain to follow any trifiing
on this important Issue that Pacific Coast
Senators and Representatives have voted
right when they have voted at all. Senator
Mitchell Of Oregon has been one of the
ablest advocates Of Chinese exclusion that
any Pacific Coast State has sent to Con-
gress. Dolph. always weak except in the
service of corporations, has beer the first to

A curious fact not noticed in the census,
out carefully observed by the brewers of
Philadelphia, is that when fruit is very
abundant falling of takes place in the con-
sumption of beer. The refreshing GOODNESS
of juicy fruits assuages the thirst, and the
costly GOODNESS OF beer can be dispen sed
with. This theory of a ratio In the con-
sumption of fruit and beer induces the hope
in the teetotal breast that when California
attains its maximum production in the or
chards beer will cut very low figure as
beverage. At present there are 10 signs Of
the prevalence of fruity over alcoholic drinks.
They may, indeed. be said to go together in
harmony. as when the straw berry is added
as qualification to the cocktail. III the con-
sumption of beer may be judged by the
number of places open for its sale day and
night, the fruit supply will have to be a per-
maneDt glut to make any appreciable inroad
on the bung industry.
1t is announced that the stream of Amer
lean travel to Europe flows stronger this
season than ever Ii has previously been
known to do. This spring fresbet of the
fashionable exodus will be decried In a
familiar manner, because many millions of
dollars are taken out of the country aud to
90 good In Europe. No country. however,
can spare so much money in the pleasure
Of travelling as the United States, and it
may be conceded that il is not all pleasure.
but that considerable gain in utility is OBJ
tanned by sightseeing and study of things
In Europe. In this sense no people get bet
ter worth for their money than Intelligent
American travellers. As for Americans
who live altogether abroad on revenues
they derive from their native land, many of
them are sDobbish and are regarded with
contempt during occasional home visits
when they air themselves in foreign ways
heir selt-lnfiicted ostracism may some day
be rewarded with scale of differential
taxation. BY far the greater number Of
Americans who visit Europe even il they
visited II repeatedly, return home with
deepened conviction Of the superiority and
magnificent possibilities OF their own conn
try. All Is still in vigorous life on this side
Of the Atlantic.
The farmers Of this State are not likely
to expect much in the shape of lower
fTeights as consequence of some signs of
the spirit of economy in the management Of
the Southern Pacific Railway. 1t will take
good deal more than the savings from the
discharge of few laborers at Oakland and
the gains from raising rents on ferry-steam-
ers TO give them the assurance that the
heretofore omnivorous Southern Pacific
Railway Is prepared to Consider their case
faverably. The brakeIDen are threatened
with reduction of wages This may be a
more serious matter than the company

THIRTY DAYS VACATION,

A bill has been introduced irto the Senate
providing that employees of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing should be allowed
an annual vacation Of thirty days. In sup
port Of the bill the statement is made that
there is palpable injustice in giving per-
manent employees thirty days vacation
while making no provisions for vacations of
employees who work by the piece. There is
some force in the argument that uniform
system of vacation at the expense of the
Government should be established, other
wise favored employees will get more than
their share. But it is not clear why Gov
eminent employe should be allowed thirty
days vacation while clerks in private insti
tutions are given but two weeks. The notion
has never gained much Roadway thatthe aver
age Government clerk is required to do more
work than persons holding similar positions
in private business. But the notion is be-
coming somewhat prevalent that there is a
purpose in certain quarters to make Govern
ment employees privileged class. Already

LIVING WITHOUT WORK.

Frauds in the revenue department in this
city prove that rasealities are not confined
10 State and city officials. The disease,
II we might so term il, appears TO be conta-
gi us, for il has been found in nearly every
department of the municipal government,
and il has even extended TO the State Legs
lature. Some Of the Custom house en-
pioyes have evidently become imbned with
the idea that money should be made more
rapidly than il can by a resort 10 honest
labor. This is not so strange after all when
we consider how many men there are in San
Francisco who wear good clothes and
promenade our streets daily, who appear to
be living upon the fat of the land, WHO do
not work. Il is considered vulgar to work
for living. but If a person obtains a stand
ing in political club. or sits in a conyen-
tion, or has friend holding an Office, his
independence is assured. To occupy posi-
ton as a jurymaB. II one is so much in
favor that he Is sought for on particular
occasions. Is likely 10 insure an income COM
mensurate with such mans wants. The

to exist in San Francisco and State offices
will avail with the General Government.
