COMING BY THE THOUSAND.

great many people have wondered why
the Chinese Six Companies have made such
desperate and expensive fight against the
Chinese registration act Some of these
people have argued that as there was no
visible motive for such opposition there was
In fact no such opposition. Now that the
Six Companies have the President on their
side they are less careful TO conceal their
plans. A dispatch from Port Townsend
says that conspiracy to defeat the regis
tration act, backed by unlimited capital. has
been in existence for over year. The i'm
possibility OF guarding the long border line
between the United States and Canada
against struggling Chinese is admitted. If
the registration law is beaten, a Chinese
laborer smuggled across the line is as good
as any other Chinese laborer. But If the
registration act were enforced, the Chinese
iaborer lawfully in the country would have
a certificate, while the one who had stolen
in would be unprovided with one. There
would then be ground for proceedings
against the one smuggled in. He would be
required 10 give some satisfactory reason
why he is not provided with registration
parers.
There are peopls who do not realize the
money value of a Chinese laborer in the
United States. 1t is known. however, that
men have not hesitated to expend from $50
TO $500 in Transporting Chinese Iaborer
from his Chinese home to the United States.
The laborer has no money value at home,
but in California he is worth, besides the
cost of feeding and clothing him, at least
500 year. A year and half of work
would repay 10 outlay aud leave the Chi

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Oakland Enquirer thinks the reason
why the Southern Pacific consented to the
passage Of a bill to compel it to pay taxes
may be found in recent decisions of the
United States Supreme Court 1t will be
remembered that the railroad company OBJ
jected to assessment on tie ground that
their property was not assessed in exactly
the same way as other property. This
difference in the method of assessment was
in the opinion of the lawyers of the railroad
company violation OF the fourteenth
amendment to the Federal constitution.
But in Texas decision invoking the same
principle the Southern Pacific view of the
effect of the fourteenth amendment was not
sustained. The laws of Texas discriminate
against liduor-dealers in the assessment of
property, both as TO the rate OF taxation and
the time Of payment. Bat case taken TO
the Federal Supreme Court was sent back
On the ground that the discrimination COM
planned OF was not violation Of the four
teenih amendment. The same rule would
cover the Southern Pacific tax case.

AN OLD GAME.

Con menting on the recent talk about the
San Joaquin Valley canal project the Kern
County Echo says:
No sooner does the Traffic Association begin
10 unfold Its plans for a road to Bakersfield than
an unusual noise is made about this canal. Tie
latter may be a bona iide scheme aud Tor por-
tion OF It's distance ii is probably feasible. There
seems 10 be no obstacle in the way OF giving
water transportation TO points In the valley as
far up as Fresno. but beyond that point it is
hard to believe that men are In earnest when they
talk about waterway.
The observation has often been made that
when any plan to compete with the Southern
Pacific has been talked about, half dozen
other plans would be suggested. The ex-
pedient of diyertlng public attention from
a feasible project is not expensive, and has
been found effective. We do not think il
will work at the present time. for the rea-
son that the Traffic Association is deyising
a complete plan of competing lines, and has
looked over the ground with so much care
that impracticable projects will not be en-
tertained. Canals are useful in their way
At the present time we want more effective
competition. railroad can be constructed
in few months. On the route proposed
there are no long tunnels TO cut, no broad
streams to span with costly bridges, nor
other obstacle in suTm0unting which a long
period of time is unavoidable. Ii the mer-
chants in this city and the landowners in
the valley respond TO the appeal Of the
Traffic Association the road may be built
and in running order in a few months.
During the same time some work may be
done to improve the navigation of the rivers.

SENATOR STANFORD TALKS.

There has never been much doubt as to
Senator Stanford's views on the question
Of Chinese immigration. A man who has
made as much money as he has out of
Chinese contract labor would naturally
think Chinese contract labor good thing
In the ante-bellum days nothing was more
difficult than to convince a Southern planter
that slave labor was blight upon the
South. The senior California Senator nat
urally selected the Chronicle as the medium
o. communication with the public. For
some years that journal has been supposed
10 take instructions from the Southern Pa
ciiic Offices. Stanford now says openly that
there never ought TO have been a restriction
law, aud that the GearY law Is an outrage.
He did not oppose the Geary law for the
reason that there were people who wanted
1t The value of the Senator as legislator
may be estimated in the light of this re-
mark. In his opinion bill proposes an
outrage, out be does not oppose the bill be-
cause he finds there are people who want an
outrage. MI Stanford wants TO know who
ever heard of a Chinese laborer being
drunkp The presumption Is the Senator
means whisky drunk, as opium-drunk Chi
nese are much more common than white
men under the influence Of liquor. The
Senator finds fault with white men engaged
in agriculture on the ground that they sup
port places where liquor is sold. He sees
no particular harm in the use OF opium, but
whsky-drnking is a deadly sin.
The time has passed when anything that
Senator Stanford says has influence in this
community. Neither his views on finance
free trade or on Chinese immigration will
affect the vote of men not in his employ.
The most manly thing he has done in re-
cent years is declaring his real views on
the Chinese question. People now know
where TO iud him. 1t is pity he did not
express these sentiments when he was a
candidate for Senator.

WATER COMPETITION.

According TO tile estimate of competent

be largely increased. But that which Chi
cago cannot have for love or money is at
San Frauclsco's doors. This is not an en-
terprise for q corporation; it is enc for the

in. The city now has practically no debt,
but lis bond for SIS, 100000 would sell read
lily al par with interest Rt the rate of per

t. 5000, 600 year, to which must be added
about one-half as much for operating ex-
penses and 500 coo for a sinking fund.
Every S500.0o0 payment on account of the
singing fund would reduce the interest ac-
count $4,000 At the expiration of thirty
years the city would own its own works and
meantime would pay from 5000. 600 to $780,
COO year less for water than it will pay
under any water order that the courts will
sustain. It would be worth something 10

A pilgrimage TO Rome was headed re-

The execution of the proposal OF the

Horse flesh Is not the staple diet of the

sumed by large portion of the human
population Of this city, says correspon-
dent. According 10 a report furnished by
medical authority, there are at the present
time $50 butchers in Paris who sell horse
flesh only. Moreover, the statistics of the
Pantin and Villejuif slaughter give
the number of horses killed for public con-
sumption during the last year TO be upward
OF 90. 700.
Curiousy enough, the poorer part of the
population is not that which buys the most
horseflesh This kind of meat is most largely
eaten by despeople who keep a consider
able staff OF assistants, whom they have to
nourisli, and who want to do SO on the most
economical scale. Cheap eating-huuses also
give horses meat to their clients, and, as a
warning to parents, let it be said small

quantities Of this somewhat unusual article
