THE STEAMSHIP SITUATION.

The San Diego Union has a somewhat
suggestive article under this caption. The
Union says among other things that cit is
apparent that the North American Navi-
CATION Company was organized in
the sole behalf Of San Francisco merchants"
A atement which is true to-day may not
be true tomorrow. The North American
Navigation Company is not yet fairly on its
feet. 1t will be some months before il will
have steamships enough on the Pacific side
to 90 the work that will be offered. The
new line has been undertaken in the face of
great odds. 1t will have to face competition
from companies that have become rich from
the monopoly they have possessed and from
subsidies they have not earned. Our San
Diego contemporary says:
The contract with the Panama Railroad Com
pany. II carried out, viii place It IN the power OF
The new company 10 absolutely prohibit through
freight traffic coming from other companies, and
Southern California, being denied port of call,
Will be forced back TO a dependence upon the
uauscontlnental railways. The lower coast
trade has as yet been very limited. the brokers
OF this city having no assurance of continued
service from the Pacific MAIL but If that COM
pany would extend to San Diego privileges CORE
spending TO those accorded to San Francisco,
the competition OF the new company could be
regular service and tar rates the brokers OF San
Diego would enlarge their trade In tropical fruits
and embark In the coffee importation business
on large scale.
THE CALL is not authorized to speak for
the North American Navigation Company.
except as we may judge of its policy by the
spirit which called it into being. The key
note of the new enterprise is the extension
of trade relations with all countries within
its range of operations. 1t will. we trust,
take a lesson from the downfall of the Pa
cifc Mail. Its policy will be TO open up the
most natural routes. To the extent to
which San Diego can become a distributing
center it should be supplied with facilities.
If it can reach localities at less cost and in
shorter time than San Francisco it will be
well for the new company to aid it in doing
so. What trade San Francisco may lose in
one direction it will make up from another.
Above ALL great State enterprise should
be IS vide in its reach as the territory 1t
aims 10 cover. The repression policy is
never more than half successful. The un-
natural development OF a locality seldom
produces all round prosperity. To deny
every other port o the Pacific transporta-
tion facilities to the end that remote locaIi-
ties may be supplied from this city would
not succeed. a broad comprehensive policy
which gives to San Francisco the facilities
her geographical position entities her TO-
and which extends(to other cities equal
facilities in proportion 10 their natural ad-
vsntages, will, liz our opinion. produce the
best results

CHICAGO LAKE FRONT.

As might be expected, an effort has been
made to reopen the celebrated Chicago
lake-front case. in which the ownership Of
the land was claimed by the Illinois Gen.
trail Railroad Company. but was decided to
vest in tile city Of Chicago inalienably.
This is the decision which worked such
wonders in clearing the mists away from
the Oakland waterfront title. 1t il now
positive satisfaction to learn that there is
no possibility of reopening the Chicago case.
The United States Supreme Court refuses
TO entertain the motion to retry the case,
and that settles the matter as far as 1t goes.
But there are still other matters of detail
and fact to be adjudcated upon. Such
questions, however, cannot invalidate the
principles now conclusively established.
This gives the Oakland case additional
strength

portion # this money would seek other in.
yestment if the owners could see their way
clear. There are at the same time several
hundred unemployed men in the city. Out
OF the number there may be some who do
not want employment but there are hun
dreis who do. We have in this the two
most necessary elements of industTy-capi-
tai and labor. 4 third essential is skill. 1t
is venturesome in these days to put money
into an industry without the skill to do as
good work as another. Capital will buy the
best OF machinery, but skilled woTkmen are
necessary to get good work out of machin-
cry. a fourth requirement is enterprise.
Capitalists must take some chances. Cities
are not built up by money lying In savings
banks. The banks which hold the money
are not allowed TO invest it in industrial en-
terprises. They must put it where they can
get it back 10 a few months in case it should
be called for.
There IS another fact that need not be
demonstrated. Il is as potent as that we
have capital and labor. We are employing
people in Eastern cities to do work which
might as well be done in this city. Why do
lot capital and labor get together and agree
upon some conditions that viii get both at
work? What do we lack? Why is it
cheaper to import furniture than to make
il? Why do we ship hides East and import
boots and shoes? Why are our clothing
stores filed with Eastern-made garments?
Why are Californians smoking New York
cigars? In a word, why do we not axe bet
Ter use Of the tools we have to work with? Do
We lack skill? Do we lack enterpriseP Are
capital and labor on the best terms? That
we do not lack skill is shown by the battle

A SILLY CHARGE.

A contemporary says in reference to cleo
tion frauds: Some Of the most fragrant
errors, to call them by mild name, dis
closed by the recount were in favor Of the
Nom Partisan candidate for Mayor" 1t is
a pity that these fragrant errors were not
pointed out as the recount progressed.
Mayor Ebert left the matter entirely in the
hands of the contestant, simply saying that
il a recount showed that the contestant re-
ceived greater number of votes than were
cast for himself he would surrender the Of
fee. While the contestant made gains in
several precincts. his net gain was small. 1t

capacity OF carrying over forty passengers.
The launch travels from ten TO eleven knots.
She Is also constructed to carry SAIL and has
already created considerable wonder and
excitement among Sydney boating men.
She poses as an innocent sailing craft, with
none too much speed. The half-deekers

THE NON PARTISAN ELECTION
COMMISSION.

The NOn-Partisan Election Commission
bill has passed the Assembly and is pretty
certain to be voted on in the Senate. The
scandal which has grown out of an attempt
TO control elections through the choice of
election officers supplies arguments In sup
port of the bill. 1t will be admitted that
the present method of voting holds out op-
portunities for fraud. The several recounts
show that in good many election boards
the opportunities were not lost. The fact
can no longer be denied that the ballots
have not been safely kept. The NOn-Parti-
san Election Commission will have full
charge Of election officers, and will be re-
sponsibe not only for the performance of
precinct election boards. but for the safe
keeping Of the ballots when returned by
the precinct boards.

Partisan candidate for Mayor had no repre-
sentatlves in the precinct boards. There
was no one working in his interest in po-
sItion to mark ballots in his favor if they
had desired to do so. The partisan Board
of Election Commissioners ruled that Re-
publican or Democrat who had Joined the
Non-Partisan movement was not eligible to
appointment on the election board under
the law. It is rather a far cry for the or

A rumor has got into circulation that
American capitalists propose to throw
bridge across Boring Straits which would
eventually be connected with the Russian
Trans-Siberian Railway. The project is
possibly feasible, but it would never pay
dime on any capital put into It, and that
would be almost as much gold as would fill

passengers or freight come from2 The
