Real Object of the Coming Transcouti-
mental Association Meeting.
ISnnn Fro N nicrc frInrcr, inln rrrr Oh,


mental Association Meeting.
San Francisco Chronicle. Aug. 1Oth.1j
J. c. Stubbs, Vice. President and Traffic
Manager of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, denies the truth of the story tele-
graphed from Chicago announcing the
probable withdrawal Of the Eastern
members Of the TranscoutinentalA sso-
citation from their arrangement with the
Pacific Mail Steamship COMPANY, GAS
far as the proposed meeting OF the Trans
continental Association is concerned"
said Mr.. Stubbs yesterday, II ought to
know something about its object, for it
has been called at my suggestion, and |
expect to attend. The meeting will be
held neither at Saratoga nor at Chicago,
but at New y DIRK City on August 9th. !"
Mr. Stubs then went on to state that a
meeting of the association had been made
necessary by the cut in freight rates be-
tween New York and San Francisco on
the competing clipper lines. Thus far,
he said, the cut had not affected the
Southern Pacifc's business from New
York, but it was sure to do so if the fight
kept up, and that company was power
less to make any adjustment to meet the
cut without the consent of the other COM
panies in the Transcontinental Associa-
ton. 1t is for this reason that the meet
ing has been called, says Mr.. Stubs, and
if any other question is to be brought be-
fore the meeting no one knows anything
about it.
On the subject of the Pacific Mail sub
sidy Mr.. Stubs had a great deal to say
In the first place he insisted that the
word subsidy" was improperly used in
this connection. He contended that a
subsidy is to buy line of, while the ar
rangement of the Transcontinental Asso-
citation with the Pacific Mail is simply a
renting of a fixed amount of tonnage
each month, which is kept filled, and of
which the line and the people get the adj
vantage.
But" said Mr.. Stubbs, ''if the other
members of the Transcontinental Asso-
citation now should cease to act up to
their share of the agreement there need
be no fear of the Southern Pacific shout
dering the entire thing itself, for it will
do nothing Of the kind"
A prominent official of the Pacific Mail
Company confirmed Mr.. Stubs state
ment that there was no question concern
ing that company coming up at the
Transcontinental Association meeting.
AT least the local officers of the company
had no knowledge of such thing. and
they considered themselves in a position
to know.

WE receive regularly printed slips,
''bulletins" of the progress ofthe Worlds
Fair Commission of California, setting
forth what is being done here and there
in the State to forward the State exhibit
ton at Chicago. The head of the journal
istic bureau is paid $3.50 a month for the
work, and there is to be added the cost of
printing and mailing, which must be
considerable. The commission was fur
nished with a sum of money by the State
adequate to make an exhibition at Chi
cago of the industrial and commercial re-
sources of the State of California, yet it
uses portion of the money for printing
campaign documents of the fair, as if the
exhibition was to be dependent upon the
votes of the people. or upon further legis-
lation. The press of the State has given,
each in its locality, full publicity to ac-
tiyities in each section relating to the
States part in the Columbian Exposition,
and the supplemental slips do not appear
TO have been adopted except as a means
of creating public sentiment, when the
commission was by law made independ
ent of public sentiment by the grant of
sufficient money to take care of the whole
business committed to it. The adoption
of any means, therefore, involving ex-
penditure of any part of the money ex-
cept in direct preparation of California's
exhibition, as, for instance, for the pur-
pose OF shaping public sentiment, would
appear to be foreign to the duty of the
commission.

THE petition now in circulation asking
the Trustees to submit tho Ievee inn
proyement question to the vote of the
people should be signed rapidly by tax
payers. The petition must be presented
on Monday morning, and it should by
that time have fully three thousand sig
natures. It is to be found at the hotels,
newspaper offices, banks and other bust
ness places to suit the convenience of the
people. 1t ought not to be necessary to
go about soliciting signatures. but it
should be a case OF free and prompt vol
unteering and public spirit. The qnes-
ton is one Of firstimportance and cannot
be put aside. 1t must be settled within a
week one way or the other, whether the
city shall be adequately protected or left
to the chances Of inundation.

PROGRESS OF THE SOUTH.

The industrial prosperity OF the South
and its forward march in manufactures,
must operate to the enrichment of the
Nation, as r. 81. Edmonds, in the F0yatla,
well puts it. Is the South then making
substantial and gratifying industrial pro-
gress?
Mr.. Edmonds points out the facts, and
in most elaborate statistical statements,
not in involved tables, but explanatory
text, responds in the affirmative. He
proves, assuming all his statements to be
well grounded, that since 1881 the corn
crop OF the South has increased 70 per
cent, as against Il per cent. in the rest of
the country; the cotton crop has in
creased from five and half million
to nine million bales-an increase in
value, even with the present low price,
of two hundred millions of dollars; in
1881 there were nearly $4,000 miles of rail-
road in the South, against less than 24,000
in 1SS1-a gain of 81 per cent, as against
country. The passenger traffic of the
same roads increased during the same
period $50 per cent, as against an increase
in the rest of the country Of only 16S per
cent.
In pig-iron manufacture the South's
output jumped from 451, 900 tons in 1881
to 1,9l4,000 in 1891-a gain of 1913 per cent,
as against gain for the rest of the coun-
try of rs per cent; in other words, IN 1881
the North and West made more than nine
times as much iron as the South; in 1891
they made less than four times as much.
The increase in the number of mill oper-
ators in the South was 135 per cent. as
against an increase in New England Of IL
per cent.
And so in every line of productive &C
tivity the marvellous rapidity of increase
is explained, showing that in assessed
valuations the property of the South has
in this period very nearly doubled, and
increased from S1S7 per capita to S27l-a
record that is probably without parallel
in the whole history of substantial indus
trial growth. And in spite of the tempo
rary depression caused by an over-pro-
duction Of cotton, the increase goes on.

dent Harrison before the people. In the
South the deceit may work, for it is the
rule to appeal to anything to keep the
South solid, and nothing more serves to
arouse Southern fears than the cry of
"black wolf" But outside of such States
any chatter about force" bill is silly.
The idea of negro domination is absurd,
no one really believes any such thing
possible, or sought for, and no one who
has examined election-law bills intro
duced Ia Congress finds in any of them
assault upon the liberties Of the people or
the narrowing of the rights Of any citi-
zen. On the contrary, the bill that has so
reused Democratic ire in the past
that it is attempted to transform into
scarecrow, proposed nothing whatever
that infringed upon any political
right. 1t simply assured all citizens, in
voting for Federal offices, of freedom in
casting the ballot, and non-interference
with the personal right attaching. But to
SAOW blisht Inc p16S6ubCT ~ Is SOCl6Il up OIl1y
for campaign purposes, lett be stated that
the federal election bill is not in any
likelihood to be resurrected. When Re-
publican strength was much greater in
Congress than now, the bill was defeated,
a Republican majority declining to pro-
ject it into the law while it was so little
understood and so little apprehended.
The ''force biIl'' is not an issue in this
campaign, and cannot be made one. 1t is
pulled into the time by the foretop by
schemers, but will not remain, for it has
no place in the political activity OF the
present. The Republican sentiment that
refused it passage in the Fifty first Con-
gress, in part out Of Difference to the
unworthy fears Of the South and the
doubts expressed within the party, has
not undergone change, and would to-day,
and will tomorrow, actuate the Senate as
it did in the first instance.

DELINQUENT TAXES.
Since the recovery of the first judgment

grade-tax warrants. suits of this nature agsinst
the ,lty are increasing with alarming rapidly.
The pIaintitfs are no longer confined to the
holders of old or long-standing warrants, but
are row seeking to enforce collections from the
city upon special improvement warrants OF COM
para.ively recent issue. There are now out
standing OF these special improvement warrants
nearly $4,000 The greater part OF this sum
could be collected, if promptly pushed,
from the delinquents. But part OF this
amount. because of Irregularities or for
defects In the proceedings, is not SO
certain a result OF Law suit To provide for
this contingency and TO expedite the collection
OF these delinquent taxes the outgoing council

In conclusion, permit me to say that the ex-

TRIE TO JOB THE "oLD MAN"
Scheme to Cheat a Skagit Settler Out
OF His Filing.

A gray-haired man named s. F. Lubus
was arrested yesterday upon a charge Of
carrying concealed weapons. He was
pointed out to Captain Peer by a stranger
who said that the ''old man had revolt
yer in his hip pocket" Lubus looks like
veritable Rip Van Wrinkle. His gray hair
hangs down TO his shoulders and his
clothes, which are long since out of date,
have been worn almost thread-bare.
The old man says that his arrest was
brought about by certain enemies who
wish 10 get him out of the way for a day
or two. He arrived from Skagit county
Yesterday morning and this morning he
intended filing on homestead claim that
he has picked ont in the county from which
he halls. He says that several other men
who came down with him are DESTROYS of
filing on the same claim, and that they,
thinking that if the .'old man" could be
put out of the way until after the land Of
flee opens this morning. their chances of
obtaining the land would be increased, set
about to effect his arrest upon trumped
up charge.
Lubus did have revolver on him, but
Captain Peer decided that ii looked like 3
scheme TO get the old man out of the way
ana he would not lock him up. The cap
tain told the old man to be in the police
court today at O'Clock, and he promised
to be on hand.

sisting of Drew, Brace and Crichton. They
soon after reported that the following
were entitled to seats:
First ward. 7. F. Drew: Second ward, NJ. j.

R. II. Cslligan; Fifth ward, J. NJ. Lyon; Sixth
ward, J. 2. Kloeber; Seventh ward, J. S. Brace;
Eighth ward, j. Z. Crichton; Ninth ward, G. K.

F. ]. Foster, citizen, demanded that
the nine men left out through the charter
amendments be admitted, namely, Messrs.
Andrew Heinrich, Edgar Lehman, V. P.
Wiesenthal, John Schram, f. r. Roweli,
W. c. Kiltz, E. W. Melse, G. w. Furry and
F. A. Mcdonald.
This formality received no further atten-
ton than an amendment to the report of
the committee by adding words to the
effect that the claim of this nine be re-
jected. The report was adopted, and r.
II. Calligan moved that the temporary pre-
siding officer be declared the president of
the house. This was agreed to without
objection. and the chair appointed Messrs.
Drew and Coryell to notify the other house
and the mayor that the delegates were
ready for business
they were informed by the mayor that he
had message ready for the council which
would be read to both houses.
After little delay the message arrived
and was read by the clerk. 1t was placed
upon file upon motion of Drew and Cory
ell.
The house then adjourned until Wednes-
day evening.
The proceedings were conducted with
promptitude, DR.. Kloeber making an ex-

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
First Official Act of Corporation Coun-
sci Donworth.

oIuclat ACT OF corporation SOun-
sci Donworth.
Corporation Counsel Donworth's first Of
fetal act was to give an opinion to the
board of public works upon the petition of
W. Gross TO have Massillon. Ohio, Nc
Lane and Arthur streets vacated, and the
petition of F. W. West and others that the
streets shall be cleared of distractions
placed there by Gross. Mr. Donworth
quotes sections 2,32S and ,332 of the code
of 1881, to show that the execution of a
town plat is in effect the same as the exc
cution of quit claim deed of the streets
shown thereon to the city. His opinion Is
therefore that the streets named are valid
streets.
A request was made by the prop
erty owners on Remington street
that dirt removed in grading be used
to fill hollow. The board in
quired into the matter and came to the
conclusion that where the council granted
permission TO property owners to grade
a street at their own expense the board
had no power to say what should be the
terms of the contract. If the contract was
made so that dirt need only be hauled 100
yards the board had no authority to re-
Quire that part of it should be hauled 500
or 600 wards, as in this case.
The assessment roll for Division street
was presented TO the board.
The session was occupied mainly by the
reading of ordinances for the grading of
streets passed by the city council at its last
few sessions.
