prevail that it is wise to have local self
government, but if after great labor and
heavy cost it is established, the enactment
of single bill to accommodate some
town or small city may destroy its vital
principle, it is useless to attempt to es-
tablish economic and permanent govern
ment.
There is a radical defect in the State
system if, after cities are chartered with
elaborate systems of local government
suited to local needs, the result of great
cost and long experience. they can be
completely upset and their government
converted into hodge-podge of conflict
ing and incongruous legislative acts.

AN artist who talks of a symphony
in yellow" or musician who calls his
composition a ''tone-poem," is on the road
to taking silk umbrella out of stand in
which he has placed a cotton one. The
business Of meltm and tuum is difficult
enough in this enticing world without
morality being relaxed in the sphere of
art, says Charles Leonard Moore in the
Forum, and we concur with him. There
is altogether too much of the vain glorious
and high and mighty fancy sort of bust
ness in drawing SMILES and expressing
enthusiasm, not only in art but in other
things. Art in painting is a noble and
lofty means Of expression, and as such
deserves, when meritorious, strong
praise; but sickly sentimentality is quite
another thing

UNANswERABLE ARGUMENT.

The Bulletin would not under any cir
cumstances dare to give the very able pa
per presented by Mr.. w. G. Curtis, as
sistant to the General Manager of the
Southern Pacific Company, fair review.
So it tries to belittle the testimony of Mr..
Curtis by saying:
The figures aid assertions of Mr.. Curtis
seem but the echo of Expert Morgan, though
/ perhaps in reality Expert Morgan report IS
/ only the echo OF Mr.. C.rtis' teacnines. There
Is strange similarly in tie argun. ents put
/ forth, though Mr.. Curtis, being an acle and
accomplished railroad manager, Was able to
! put his report in far better shape than the
Railroad Commissions employe.
No better evidence that an argument is
unanswerable can be found than this
method oftreatment. Not daring to at
tempt discussion of Mr.. Curtis testi-
mony, it undertakes by innuendo to say
/ that either Mr.. Curtis wrote Expert Nor
CAMS report or Expert Morgan wrote Mr..
Curtis report.
The question naturally arises, What of
| it? What if Expert Morgan had written
Mr.. Curtis report, and what if Mr.. Cur
tbs had written Export Morgan's report?
| The question is not the authorship of a
paper halt so much as the cogency of the
reasoning it contains. Twice two is four,
not because the arithmetic says so; not
because anybody says so; but the arith-
metic and all people say so because it is
true.
But to return to the facts. Expert
Morgan is a first-class engineer, with
tirst-class reputation reputation earned
and deserved. An official body. authorized
by the Constitution of the State of Cali
fornia to make examination of the sub
ject of rail transportation within the State
of California, employed an Eastern ex-
pert. The conclusions OF this expert
were not in accordance with the preju-
dices of the Bulletin, and SO it plays the
part of defamer of character and tries to
deprive Colonel Morgan of his we'll
earned reputation for honesty and capac-
ity; intimates that he was paid and that
ne found conclusions in accordance with
the views of the railroad.
Now it resorts to the poor pitiful de-
vice of pretending to believe that Mr..
Curtis wrote Expert Morgan's report.
The Bulletin will gain nothing by
this species of argument, because
it is altogether evident that whoever
is called in as expert in railroad
matters will find conclusions analogous
to those reached by Expert Morgan.
Everyone competent by special educa-
ton, and therefore possessing fitness to
testify, has agreed with Expert Morgan.
The only person who has disagreed with
him is the Bulletins Mr.. Leeds, and he is
paid $4,000 year to disagree with ex-
perts.
But all attempts to injure the reputation
of Richard P. Morgan as railroad ex-
pert will fail. There are men whose
regulations are unassailable, and Colonel
Morgan stands in the front rank of those
in that category.
The record-union., 1893-02-13

utterly ignorant of the history of the
State. The Central Pacific Railroad
Company once purchased the Donahue
system, but returned it to its owners as
being of no value in the general system
OF railroads in this State. 1t has therefore
once been in the hands of the people who
control the Southern Pacific Company.
Moreover, it does not appear to be known
to the editor of the Sausalito NelOs that
the Donahue system of railroads has been
offered time and time again to Mr.. Hunt
at auction and no bid came from the
Southern Pacific Company; it was sold
cheaply and the Southern Pacific Com
pany was not bidder. 1t appears to be
in like ignorance of the fact that the
Southern Pacific Company was not be-
hind any bidder; that the bonded debt
interest has been eager to have the
Southern Pacific Company take the Dom
ahue roads, but without success. There
Is therefore not the slightest probability
of that great artery of commerce falling
into the hands OF the Southern Pacific
people. Likewise the paper is ignorant
| of the approaches to San Francisco. There
is nothing in the world to prevent any
| railroad desiring to enter San Francisco
from condemning a right of way from
Alameda or Oakland, from coming up
the peninsula, or from entering from
Sausalito or Tiburon. If twenty rail-
roads should seek terminus in San
Francisco. they would all find easy ac-
cess. The property must be begging in
the market indeed when the Ne,OS tries to
frighten the business men of San Fran
cisco into purchasing it.
