FOR CONSIDERATION.

Traffic Manager Leeds has submitted for
the consideration of the Board of State
Railroad Commissioners some pertinent
suggestions in respect to the railroad
charges on this Coast. Among other things.
Mr.. Leeds says:
A great disparity IN the cost Of transportation
does exist, aud to such an extent as to seriously
impede tue prosperity OF the State in all indus.
tries which are In any way dependent upon
trapspoi tatlon. and tt Is very certain that such
widespread complaint We have heard cannot
exist without some foundation in fact.
This suggestion is addressed to the Rail-
road Commission. but as matter of form
only. The real party whose ear is sought is
Mr.. c. P. Huntington. President of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company. If
Mr. Huntington can be persuaded that a
larger traffic would compensate for the lower
freight rate asked for there is no doubt but
thatthe Railroad Commission would issue as
low schedule OF rates as Mr. Huntington
may authorize. But The CALL has not
much hope that reduction in rates will re-
suit from an appeal to Mr.. Huntington. he
has recently said that the only two WAYS by
which reduction might be obtained were
an increase ia tonnage or by a reduction in
the wages of employees. Dividends are in
the nature of fixed charge, which may be
increased. but must not he reduced The
way to get reduction is by competition.
The Southern Pacific will reduce charges
low enough when steamers bring goods to
San Francisco and when local roads, con-
trolled by San Francisco shippers, stand
ready to convey these goods to points in the
interior. An unsubsidized steamship line
will bring goods to this Coast at lower rates
than the railroad company can afford, and
between the use of rivers aud the cOnstruc-
ton of local railroads for the especial pur-
pose of forming close connections between
the seaport city ard interior points, the
merchants of San Francisco may soon have
lower freight rates than they would now
ask the Southern Pacific Company to make.
ANY competing transcoBt inental railroad
will be welcome. but we shall never be GER
tain of competition until the men interested
in lower freights control the competing
route.

FACTS AND SHAM FACTS.

Chief of Police Crowley has called a halt
on unsupported TRADES against the depart
ment OF which he is the head. He says San
francisco is one Of the best governed cities
ot It's size IN the world. Criminals find this
harder place to get along in than in most
other cities. de refers to the reports of the
department as to the number and character
OF arrests made. Policemen whom he had
reason to believe dishonest have been dis
missed and In some cases charged with
felony. Ii convictions have not followed.
the fault was with the courts rather than
with the Police Department There is, per
maps, no arm of the city government so
open to attack as the police. The oppor-
tunities open to them are SO great that the
average reformer assumes that few or none
oil these opportunities are lost. In every
large city In the world there are offenses
against the law which are regulated rather
tnan uprooted. There are laws which are

attacked and routed, but il simply assumes
more secret form. The police can raid
disorderly house, bot they cannot know by
whom every apartment ia every lodging
house IN the city is occupied That is held
TO be good government which relieves the
public eye of evidence of the existence of
vice. In this respect San Francisco is
model city. There are large villages In the
East which show more evidence of unlawful
modes of life than this city of 3C0. 600
people. In respect to the especial vice of
gam bling, there is more OF il done by peo-
pie who do not consider themselves objects
OF police surveillance than by professionals.

for nothing and have land products below
the cost of production. The Country Cen
ttemdn boldly proposes a repeal of the
homestead law. Ii says:
The law has kept down lie prices OF farm prod
uce for many years below the cost OF production.
IL has been the main cause of covering the farm
land OF The country with mortgages to the
amount OF two or three thousand million dollars.
1t has taken IRON farmers throughout the coua-
try about one-haf OF the landed property by
lowering the price of land one-half aud il has
made aud will make hundreds Of thousands of
families homeless by tile low price of produce
and by not allowing them 10 sell their over
morigaged farms at all
The proposition &c repeal the homestead
law is something like licking the door after
the horse is stolen. There is not at present
a large amount of desirable agricultural
land IN the market. Some millions Of acres
are held as Iadian reservations. aud railroad
companies hold some other millions, which
they do not propose to give away. There
is also good reason for the belief that the
population of the country is increasing more
rapidly than the product of grain. 1t has
been estimated that within ten years the
United States will have no wheat for eX-
port, one year with another. While the
effect of the homestead law may have been
somewhat as described, it remains true that
1t has also thrown the public domain largely
into the hands Of the people.

SOMEWHAT LIKE A CONSPIRACY.

People have known for some time, in
general way, that the transcontinental rail-
road companies paid the Pacific Mail Com
pany 10 maintain certain rates for passen-
gers and freight But the exact figures
were not accessible to the public, and there
were perhaps people who doubted if any
such arrangement existed. But THE CALL
has now given the figures to the public, and
has also presented a clause in the agree
ment to the following effect:
1t is agreed that the subsidy now paid the Pa
cihc Mail Steamship Company for its steamers
between San Francisco and New York State be
borne by The several railroad companies here
represented. in the proportions of their revenues
from San Francisco business carried under this
agreement
This clause does not state the nature of
the service that the steamship company is
TO render in return for the subsidy, but
with the fact of subsidy demonstrated one
only needs to inquire as to the terms upon
which goods will be carried between Pacific
and Atlantic ports to ascertain all he needs
to know about the subsidy. The simple
fact is that the transcontinental roads and
the Pacific Mail Company entered into
combination to make people on this Coast
and people coming to this Coast pay much
As4EhNA iptSS iOL ldIllUdu StIflcH lHdH are
paid elsewhere. A combination of this
nature takes on somewhat the character
OF conspiracy against the people of this
Coast. 1t has deprived them of the means
OF doing business as cheaply as the same
kind OF business is done elsewhere. The
city OF San Francisco has virtually been cut
Of from territory for which it is the natural
distributing point. The business of the city
and State has been subordinated TO the bust
ness OF common carrier. The Pacific Mail
has carried twice as much as it could have
carried in competition with the railroad and
the combination Of railroads has charged up
the cost Of substituting the steamship COM
pany to operating expenses, which Senator
Stanford recently said the people in the
end had to pay. The SIS, 900. coo which our
people have had to pay in the way of extra
charges Is the least of the evil effects of the
conspiracy. The city's trade with the in
terror has been dwarfed and manufactures
discouraged by the excessive cost of getting
their products to market. Under the rule
of charging all traffic will bear fruit has
rotted in orchards within fifty miles of the
city. while in the city fruit has been so high
that only well-to-do people could afford to
buy it,

Ii is possibly the opinion of most people
whose fortune in life is only moderate or
uncertain that the millionaire is supremely
happy man because he has in abundance
that which the world increasingly covets to
possess. The wealth he has at command
appears to be the elimination of bliss. If
the millionaire's own opinion were taken
on the matter, he would probably confess
that it is only by living quietly, as il he did
not possess much, that he is able TO feel at
ease, and that the strain upon his mind in
keeping his millions invested probably
causes him to look back almost regretfully
to the period when he was cheerful and
almost careless on modest income. The
millionaire who lives in gross indulgence
soon pays the penalty in impaired health,
aud the doctors are never absent from his
elbow in his last days OF misery and vain
regrets. de who boards as miser does
has good chance for long life-for misers
proverblally live TO good old age-but he
can have no consolation In thinking that
his treasure Will melt away when he is
gone. The delight of making a wise use or
dedication OF huge aecnmulations of wealth
rarely occurs to great capitalists. They
toll on 10 the end, and then their fortune is
at the hazard OF heirs, who commonly fight
over the spoils. and perforce allow no in
considerable amount to pass in fat fees 10
lawyers. IL Is by no means certain that If
miliionaires were Systematically to emulate
one another in deeds OF philanthropy the
world would be much the better. In the
experience OF the Old World, much that is
called charitable has degenerated into posi-
tive evil, and sweeping reforms are con-
stantiy needed. Andrew CarDegie's gifts
Of libraries to Pittsburg and Allegheny City
are commendablc, but il would have shown
healthier spirit on the part Of these COM
munlies had they themselves long ago
founded these public Institutions. These
are wealthy towns, and they would show a
true appreciation OF Mr.. Carnegie's gifts by
at least snpplementing them.

stantly followed by the shadow of assassin

HOW THE HOMESTEAD Law WORKS.

The Country Gentleman finds the cause of
the agricultural depression in tie homestead
law. That journal argues that things given
away cannot be sold at prices that would
prevail ii none were given away. Tie
homestead law gives farmers 160 acres of
land worth about as much as improved land
that needs fertiliziug. and as consequence
there are few or no purchasers of improved
land. The offer of land free TO settlers
caused such rush for homes, both by
Americans and foreigners, that the products
OF land exceeded consumttion, and low
prices followed 1t is admitted that divid-
ing the public lands into 16O-acre lots for the
benefit CT settlers WAS an act worthy of
great and good nation, but the worthiness
OF the act does not prevent its natural con-
sequences. Had the land been sold at $40
an acre the rush would not have been so
great. and overproduction and consequent
10" prices would not have followed. The
farmers, IT Is contended. would be better off
II they had to pay $40 an acre for land with
land products at fair prices than to have land

Nobody can approach the doorway without
being scanned and questioned by the Ger

be impossible, and if a fire broke out there
would be timely warning. To millionaire

justified in searching cut and arresting
every man and woman who might risk a
dollar in lottery. 1t would he we'll that
no lottery tickets were sold; we'll that no
opportunities OF any kind should be afforded
for gambling; we'll if the sale of liquor
could be restricted to persons who can re-
