THE DECISION OF JUDGE ROSS.

The San Francisco correspondent Of the
New York Tribune writes as follows:
The decision OF Judge Ross In the Federal Dis
trict Court at Los Angeles against the southern
Pacific Company Will hardly hold before the SUI
Hreme Court. Judge Ross declares that goods
shipped from New York 10 Antwerp and then re-
shipped TO San Francisco cannot be elassed as
violating the California navigation law, which
prohibits foreiga vessels from engaging In Amer.
lean commerce. The plan was attempted to
break freight rates, but the best lawyers are OF
the opinion that the United States Supreme
Court win not uphold Judge Ross decision.
1t may be well to remark that there is no
California navigation law which is not the
law of the other States in the Union. The
decision OF Judge Ross that the shipping
of goods from New York to Antwerp and
then 10 San Francisco does not constitute
violation of the navigation law was based
upon national not local law. The navi-
cation laws of the United States prohibit
shipping goods from one American port TO
another in foreign vessel. The question
then is IL the fact that the goods shipped
from Antwerp had been taken to that
port from an American port would prevent
foreign vessel from transporting the goods
to an American port. ii the goods had re-
manned in a vessel touching at Antwerp, then
continuing its voyage to San Francisco,
there would have been ground for the
charge that the navigation laws had been
violated. But the trip TO Antwerp was a
complete trip. Goods were landed in that
city and afterwaId shipped from Antwerp
to San Francisco. Antwerp being foreign
port, could not come under the law which
prohibits shipping goods from one Amer
lean port to another in a foreign vessel.
The case loses much Of its Importance by
the establishment of clipper line between
New York and San Francisco. There is no
occasion now to send goods from New York
10 San Francisco by way Of Antwerp.
When the Southern Pacific had the Pacific
Mail and the ocean line In its pay the cir
cuitous route to Europe was possible
means OF relief from the exactions of that
company. With clipper ships bringing goods
from New York to San Francisco at from
| Sc to IS per ton there cannot be a profit in
shipping them first to Antwerp The ex-
| pense of q seen.S handling must be incurred
! besides that Of Nyeral thousand miles OF
sailing The commencement of the suit
which Judge Ross decided in favor Of the
shippers is fair illustration of the means
the Southern Pacific Company has resorted
to to maintain a monopoly of the transpor-
tation business between tie Atlantic and
Pacific coasts Il was one of the expedents
by which they hoped to continue to collect
from $40 10 $50 per ton on freight from New
York to San Francisco. The expedient was
a failure. however, before Judge Ross rem
| dered bis decision. The clipper lines are
| now doing the same work for from Sc to SIS
per ton.

SOME OF THE FRAUDS.

Ihere IS not doubt as TO the efforts which
are being made in San Francisco to manu-
facture fraudulent votes or TO select GER
tain number Of judges OF election whose
regulations are not much above stufIino hal
lot boxes. At whose instance is this effort
made to manufacture fraudulent votes and
to appoint judges Of election, many Of whom
should not be trusted with the llot-box ?
Can there be tie least doubt as to the po-
sition OF two newspapers in San Francisco,
one OF which advocates the election OF such
candidates as Crimmns and Kelly have
nominated and the other the remnant of the
Buckley regimen We allude to the Chr0nt-
Gle and Examiner. They now appear TO
hunt in common for game, and what is the
game which they are after except some Of
the money which is gathered from the tax
payers Of San Francisco?

NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO LOSE.

prominent candidate on the Kelly
Crimmins ticket Is reported to have said
that such arrangements have been made
that it is impossible to lose. Precisely what
arrangements have been made 10 overcome
the uncertainties of a political campaign
can only be conjectured. Doubtless a force
of 1000 men registered in few precincts
would afford the bosses considerable as
suranee Of success. But it is not by
any means certain that force Of 1000
voters, each voting four times, will insure
the success OF the Kelly-Crimmins ticket.
by far the larger paltof the men who voted
the Republican ticket In 1890 are enrolled
on the N0n-Partisan petitions. Even il the
Kelly-Crimmlns gang poll 5000 spurious
votes it would not he certain of majority
But under present conditions the gang can
not poll 5000 spurious votes. The Reorgan-
lied Democracy and the Non Partisans will
lave watchers in the precinct registry booths,
and there will be two weeks after reglsrra-
ton closes during which representatives OF
these two parties will purge the precinct
rolls The real work OF the campaign will
be done in keeping the register free of
names that have no right to be there. A
faction is in pretty bad way when II places

The Boston Herald says:

sion OF both branches OF Congress and the Pres

are on record as In favor Of some measure
which will enable qualified voters In all the
States to exercise their constitutions right

however. 10 take any other political advan-

TIE SILVER ISSUE.

The Republican policy OF coming limited
amount Of silver and holding the coined sil-
YER al par with gold without regard to It's
commercial value promises now to solve the
silver problem. High British authority has
declared that Great Britain would stand by
the United States in providing for an in
creased use of silver in the United King
dom, and there is good reason to believe
that India will suspend the free coinage Of
silver and adopt the American policy Of
coming limited amount and holding the
coined silver at par with gold, II the inter-
national monetary conference agrees to this
policy the silver problem will be in a fair
way Of permanent settlement It Is now
known that American purchases have ex-
hausted the silver surplus in this country.
The market price has been kept down by
importations from Europe. Now, if mar
ket can be created in Europe for silver
there would necessarily be rise in its mar
ket value all along the line. The depre-
citation Of silver has been largely due to the
apprehension that it might cease to be used
as money, except, perhaps, as token money.
But now that there is general admission
that silver must constitute part, if not a
full half of the worlds stock Of money.
confidence in its future will be restored.

CHARGES AND COUNTER CHARGES.

Some days ego the Republican State
Committee for New York sent circulars to
known Republicans in the greater part of
the voting precincts OF the State requesting
the persons to whom they were addressed
to forward the names of doubtful voters to
the committee. Some of the Democratic
journals assumed at once that the purpose
OF the committee was to convince the voters
whose names were submitted by the use Of
money, If necessary. A New York dispatch
now turns the tables. The Democratic Ma
tional Committee is charged By the Re-
publican National Committee with con-
spracy to colonies the city for election
purposes. In this city we ind n certain low
grade Of politicians directing all their ener-
gies to the work Of getting fictitious names
on the register. Probably votes are OBJ
tanned in these ways or practical politicians
would not resort to them. 1t is possible,
also. that neither party gets enough ahead
Of tue other to change the result The votes
obtained by the use Of money by one party
will be nearly Offset by votes obtained by
the other party by similar means. Would
II not be better if politicians on both sides
would play fair? Cheating is expensive,
and if one party IS about as apt at I as
another, both parties are money out and
nothing to show for il.

WHAT DO THE PAPERs WANT

The Examiner is supporting one boss
ticket and the Chronicle is supporting
another. The public is supposed to be
familiar with the dOings of the Chronicle in
the past. and it believes the paper still
works for pay when it can obtain it. As
tor the Examiner. in the absence of Mr..
Hearst the paper most likely has men en-
plOyed about it who would also like money.
We are informed that there are persons
close to the paper who approach employees
in other establishments with a view 10 de-
baueh them. The inference is not favorable
for the integrity of men who commit such
discreditable acts. At any rate for four
years past the Examiner has steadily SUP
ported one of the corrupt boss tickets. 1t
supported Buckley until he left the city, and
since that time the paper has urged taking
his followers into partnership in order to
control the city. The Examiner and
Chronicle are both trying 10 place in Office
candidates who have plundered the city.
What do these papers now want? is the
question. unless it be to profit from corrupt
officials

confuse voters; compelling each individual
to go through long list. marking each can
didate's name. 1t was thought by the plum
derers that our citizens would rather foIego
voting altogether than to be put TO so much
trouble. 1t should be borne in mind that
the two plundering tickets which the Chroni-
Gle and Examiner are striving to elect do not
meet with an obstacle in their way, for
single mark upon the whole ticket answers
the purpose. Should such a rule as that
which is being advocated by the two
papers be adopted ii is altogether probable
that the people will be cheated out of the
election. Surely If certain number of
knaves can be used to handle the ballots
this will be the result.
