THE FREIGHT RATE COMPLAINTS.

Gen. E. M. Pope has forwarded two
complaints to the State Railroad and
Warehouse Commission, one against
the Omaha road and the other against
the Minneapolis & St. Louis and the
st. Paul & Duluth roads. The COM
plant is general and make no specific
charges. 1t is sought to equalize the
rates on all classes of goods, and it is
expected that the especial benefit to
MankatO will be an equalization of
freight rates on coa., grain and lum-
Der. The distance from this city to
Superior is 230 miles and from here to
Chicago 430 miles. Yet the rates are
made almost identical ,between the
two cities, in order to protect Chica-
go trade. The rate on coal from Su-
perior is 1910 a ton and from Chicago
1915. If proportionate reduction is
received from Superior, coal and other
produce will be cheaper in Mankato.
The railroad companies will make
a reply to the complaints, and a day
will lie set for hearing. Gen. Pope
states that the complaints against
the Omaha road may be taken before
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.

the workmen took off enough of the
building to make room for the new
one. 1t almost amounted to the same
thing as taking off the side of the
building.

WANTED, A FIOH-LADDER.
Some Means for Trout to Pass the
Folsom Dam.
A Very Important Law to Which the
State and Its Officials Pay
No Heed.

There is law OF the State which pro-
vides-and very wisely, too-that no dam
or other obstruction on any stream must
be allowed to prevent fish from passing
up such stream; in other words, the
law demands that wherever a dam is
maintained there must lie also provided
properly constructed fish ladder, ITO en-
able fish to pass by the dam.
1t is too true that this law. like many
other good ones that have been framed
strictly in the interests OF the people, is
not enforced by the authorities. In
stances have been recited in these col
umns to show that hundreds ofthousands
oftrout are yearly destroyed, and streams
rendered barren of them, by the failure
of the owners OF dams TO comply with the
law, and of the neglect OF the authorities
to enforce it.
There is a glaring case of this kind al
most in sight of the State Capitol The
State itself maintains on the American
River, near Folsom, great dam which
absolutely prevents fishes from passing
mp that stream TO the spawning grounds.
State officials and lawmakers frequently
visit and admire the great dam, but 1t
seems to be nobody's business to put in
motion the machinery of the law for the
construction of fish-ladder on either
side Oft.
The result is that salmon, trout, shad
pike and other choice food fishes collect
in front Of the dam during the spring and
summer months, and while thus i'm
prisoned in the deep holes are slaughtered
by the thousands.
1t is the duty of the Prison Directors,
presumably, to see that the dam shall be
provided with a tlsh-ladder. and it should
be the duty of someone else to see that
they performed that duty.
If tish-lGdders are not necessary nor
desirable, the State should not require
people to 60 to the expense Of construct
ing them. If they are, then the State
should not only set a good example by
providing the prison dam with one, but
her officials should at least show dis
position to themselves obey the laws
which they are expected to enforce.
The time was when the American
River was one of the finest trout and
salmon streams in the State. That was
before its waters became detiled in the
fOothill section by mining operations
Then ensued long term OF years during
which the lower reaches OF that stream
were seldom invaded by fish of any
species. But since the partial cessation
of hydraulic mining it has become possi-
BILE for fishes to live in the river, and of
late years its waters have afforded excel
lent fishing.
There is every reason to believe that if
the State would do its duty and construct
tish-ladder at the Folsom dam, aided by
the continued decrease of detrItus from
the mines, the American would become
one Of the finest trout and salmon streams
on the coast, which would be OF great
value to all the people living near it, in
cluding those of this city.

TWO COMPUTATIONS.

Governor Markham Shortens the Sem
tences of Fitzgerald and Callahan.
Yesterday the sentence Of imprison-
ment at Folsom for life Of p. E. Fitzger-
aid for murder in Kern County, in 1888.
was commuted by Governor Markham to
Imprisonment for twenty years.
lie also comlnuted the sentence of Ed
ward Callahan for life to Folsom Prison
to fifteen years. Callahan was sentenced
in San Bernardino County in 1887, and
there were strong mitigating circum-
stances in his case. In the case of Fitz-
gerald the murder was almost an acci-
dental one.
In both cases the States Prison Direct
ors all joined in recon mmending such ac-
ton as a reward for unusual, valuable
and efficient services rendered by the
men, and extending over a period Of sew
eral years.
The Communication will leave about three
years longer Imprisonment in each case
before their terms expire.

THE attention of wri ters and publish
ers will be strongly attracted to an item
in the assets of the late Pacific Bank, con-
trolled by the late r. H. Mcdonald, Jr.
The item is the account of c. +. Holder,
and the amount opposite his name is
Sl35, 900. This debt to the bank repre-
sents the investment of R. II. Mcdonald,
Jr., in the defunct California Mdgdziae.
1t will be a surprise to those who are
familiar with the practices of that maga-
zine to learn that in its short history it has
made deficit of SI35,OO0. The magazine
itself was run on cheap basis. 1t in
dulged in writeups and other practices
characteristic of snide publications Of its
class, and it is therefore inconcei vable
that in its short history it should have
sunk, in addition to what it has been

WE agree with the declaration Of the
Chicago Silver Convention, that 'the
financial policy of our Government should
not be made dependent upon the opinion
or the policies of any foreign Govern
ment." Certainly not-but so long as
we must trade with other nations and
buy of them certain supplies; so long as
we wish to sell to them certain of our
products, we must consult with foreign
powers as to the medium of exchange
While it is true that we should not sub
nit to dictation, it is also human nature
that the other fellows should say the same
thing. No, when there is uniform sys-
tenn, it will be reached through counsel
and concession. Strong as we are, we
cannot dictate; strong as we are, we
should not submit to dictation.
