THE PAROLE BILL.

Among the bills to which Governor Mark
ham attached his signature is that known
as the parole bill. In connection with this
bill are two causes of surprise-one that it
should have got through both houses, the
other that with the power to kill it the Gov
ernnr makes it a law. What expressions of
public sentiment that were made were
against the bill. What the influence is that
drove 1t along can only be conjectured. The
bill does not open the door of the peniten-
tlary to every cnuvict who would like to
walk out. 1t only opens it to those W ho can
convince the Board of Parole Commission
ers that there are reasons why doors should
be open to them which are closed to other
convicts. The fourth section of the act pro-
vides that when a convict has served the
minimum time prescribed By law for his
Offense. or, if there is no minimum time
provided, when he has served one year, he
may apply to the board to be paroled. TIE
board may grant the application if it be-
lieYe that he has reformed. The vice of this
provision is that II adds to the difficulty Of
Furnishing an influential person for crime.
There is already difficulty enough in con-
victing one Of this class, and we have now
opened way by which money and political
or social Influence may continue to operate
In favor of the class whose members have
the least excuse for being law breakers.
The Record Union says the essential feature
OF this bin is its reformatory and restraining
influences In practice its essential feature
will be found to set free influential convicts
and bold the door closed against others.
The morning call., 1893-03-27
SOMETHING TO THINK OF.

The imports Of New York City for the
third week In March were SIC. 700, 600. The
imports for the week preceding were above
SI6,000.00O. The increase for the week over
the corresponding term in 1892 was about
S9000.000. The total imports for March,
1892. were $1,000, 600 in excess of the imports
for March in 1891 and $10.0OO,OOO in excess
of the imports for the same month In 1890.
These are facts which the Cleveland ad-
ministrati0n may well take into serious con-
sideration. The next Congress will be i'm
portuned TO put raw materials on the free
list and to reduce duties on articles of manu-
facture. If this policy is carried out it is
not easy to see where the monay Is coming
from to pay for the goods that will flood the
country. The Mckinley bill has checked the
importation of certain kinds of finished
goods, but it has let in sugar and other
articles which we do not produce in large
proportion to consumption free of duty. So
far as some of these articles are concerned
their being on the free list only affects the
revenue. The question whether they should
be subject to duty or let In free should be
determined by the needs of the Government
Even under this tariff the consumption of
foreign goods has increased. Ii the March

FORGING AHEAD.

A dispatch from Pittsburg says that the
Standard Oil trust and the RothS chids
have effected a combination to control the
Russian oil business. The two propose to
divide between them the foreign refined oil
trade and to regulate prices in an upward
direction. The fact that the Standard on
trust has only been able to divide about
S3C0,000000 profits among its members in
the twenty years of its existence shows
clearly the necessity of higher prices.
From Boston the news comes that the
leather-dealers have organized under the
title OF the United States Leather Company,
with a capital of about $50, 100000. The
leather trust will include all the large East
ern tanners and will control at least IS per
cent of the sole leather manufactured in
the United States. From New Orleans
there comes dispatch of somewhat diff
ferent character Judge Billings of the
Federal court has decided that labor strike
is a combination in restraint of trade. His
decision, If carried out, will make the
methods by which labor organizations have
gained some advantages over combinations
of capital unlawful. 1t is astonishing how
easy law is found to put down labor COM
binations, and how df1icult it is to find
law to restrain combinations of capital.

would bear. The third commissioner is n OF
a salarled officer of either the Southern Pa
cific or the Pacific Mail. but he is not in the
least likely 10 oppose an Improvement" be-
cause the Southern Pacific favored it.
In respect to the Oakland water front.
the fact is known that the Southern Pacific
Company was opposed to the bill. The in
fluence Of that company was also exeTted
against the bill to extend the bulkhead 1000
feet, which would have taken money which
the Southern Pacific would rather see ex-
pended in constructing handsme depot at
the foot of Market street. Taking one con-
sideration with another, the lot of the
Southern Pacific, if not altogether a happy
one, is far from being shorn of the little
successes which make life attractive.

NOT YET OUT OF POLITICS.

For corporation that has been two years
getting out of politics the Southern Pacific
Company is doing very well. 1t certainly
did not exercise the influence over the last
Legislature it exercised over the preceding
one, but 1t contriyed, for all that, to
carry some of its pet measures The park
bill is worth more TO the Southern Pacific
Company than the Carpenter reassessment
bill would have been. 1t hands over to the
Park Commissioners power to inaugura;e
Improvement" which will greatly benefit
the Southern Pacific system of street rail.
roads. The remark is perhaps in order that
the present board Of Park Commissioners
is not violently antagonistic to the South
ern Pacific Company. The chairman of
the commission is best known as one of the
Southern Pacific Company's trusted agents.
One other member has for years held re-
sponsbIe position in the Pacific Mail Com
pany, which, as The public knows, allowed
for a consideration the Southern Pacific
Company to fix its rates at point which
would not interfere with the policy OF the
Southern Pacific in charging all the traffic

Steam Worsted bv Electricity

unique tug-of-war took place at Lynn,
Mass, recently. a new electric locomotive
from the Thomson Houston factory was
being given a test, a large freight engine
beng coupled to it, The steam engineer
thought that he had an easy opponent, the
electric locomotive being so much smaller
and lighter, but when he found himself
being pulled along by the other he was dis
heartened and looked troubled. a happy
thought lit up his face. He opened the
sand-b box, ana this gave the electric more
than IL could do; but when the electric
struck the sand 1t got grip on the rails.
and brought its steam antagonist to a
stand, and pulled il back to the starting
point, when, having left the sanded track,
and the steam locomotive having reached
II, the latter had its way again. And SO the
