HAWKINS APPEARS.


New Marshal Will Take Hold April 1-Craw-

The newly appointed United States mar
shall, w. II. Hawkins, arrived in the city
yesterday and registered at the Grand

OTIS who want to assist him to run his Office
coon found him. He was accompanied by
Charles L. Crawley. late Clerk of the
House in the State Legislature, who Is

position of chief clerk. a position now held
by John A. Robinson. Mr.. Crawley and
Mr.. Hawkins are very warm friends. and
1t Is probable that the reputed lead is well
founded. They hail from the same county.
Blr. Hawkins called at the marshals of

said that he wouid not be ready TO accept

That will mark quarter. and it will be
easy to balance np the books and make q

One By one the Office seekers struggling

them TO arrive. He did not have that
assistant treasuryship that he is known to
c0vet. He still asserts. however, that he was in
Washington in the interest OF :. l.. Morss, and
brings the oft-tOld tale that Morss TO ne "rec-

that Mr.. Morss not only would bear

FERRY OPPOSITION.

The announcement that the Southern
Pacific ipiends to do its best TO run the
Davie Transportation Company out of the
ferry business between San Francisco and
the other side of the bay comes as no sur
prise to the opposition, and is an old story
of familiar policy to the public. Amonop-
oily which processes to keep California in
a cage will not willingly surrender share
of the most profitable enterprise it has.
The sweets of possession for twenty years
cannot cheerfully be allowed to evaporate.
A sweeping reduction OF rates on the
creek route may be borne while the old
rates are maintained on the mole route,
but the public know we'll why these favors
are accorded. and ought to understand
with equal clearness that the moment
opposition ceases up will 60 the rates.
There should be some sentiment about
this matter with the public, and the Davie
Company should not be allowed to suffer.
The new steamers which the company are
to build. carrying 1000 passengers and
steaming eighteen miles an hour, ought to
give the opposition the victory. for that
will be better service than the Southern
Pacific now offers. When the monopoly
finds that the opposition is firmly esta b.
Iished it will cease its efforts to EXTERN
mate. In short time the new pier on
the Berkeley side at Emerys will be fin
ished. 1t is wide en- ough for two pairs OF
rails. and the electric railroad connection
may be made all that is desired for first
class ferry traffic. What the borax king
will do with his property is now tho ques-
ton. but he keeps his own counsel. 1t

THE IRON AND STEEL INDUSTRY.

Before Mr. Cleveland sits down to write
his expected free-trade message it might
profit him TO look over recent reports on
the condition OF the iron industry. He
will find that in few years. under the
stimulating influence of protection, we
have become able to supply the home de-
mand and to export S2S.000,000 worth of
iron and steel to countries open to compe-
tition from Europe. Mr.. Cleveland may
ask II we can export to countries 20 which
European producers have access what is
the need OF duties on European products
In this market? 1t will be found. how
ever, upon examination that without a
steady home demand we could not COM
pete with foreign producers. There is
sometimes surplus to work off and some
times an advantage in the way of new
process which enable our iron manufacture
ers to send goods abroad. A free-trade
Journal Is laying great stress upon a report
that coke costs less in Virginia than i'm
Wales. To the extent to which this report
is true it is an advantage. but not sufficient
to enable our manufacturers 10 compete
with the cheaper labor of European coun-
tries. One Of the causes of the present
depression is the reduction in wages that
has preceded the expected reduction in

CHESTER'S WILL.
Argument Made Before
Judge Levy.
The Testimony of J. F. Turner and
Miss Lizzie O'DonneII Reviewed
by Attorney benson.

j. F. Turner. the former friend and
witness for the son. Frederick S. Chester.
in his petition to establish an alleged lost
will. is having pleasant time just now.
In addition to all the opprobrlum that is
being heaped upon his shoulders by Attor-
ney Kowalsky. representing the respond
ents, large judgment was rendered
against him yesterday by Judge CARRIER in
the suit of L. S. Megginson VS.. j. F.
Turner to recover SIP. 442 on three promis-
sorry notes. Judgment was given for the
plaintiff as prayed for. despite the testi-
mony on Turner's bel half given by his
clerk. Miss Lizzie O'Donnel, who also
claims to have shared with Turner the I'M
speakabie pleasure of beholdng Chester's
will IN his desk at his Office on the day of
and few hours after his death.
Yesterday. all the evidence being in, the
day was devoted to arguments before
Judge Levy on Frederick Ckester's pc
tition. Attorney benson spoke first on be-
halt OF the petitioner, and dwelt strongly
on the testimony Ut Turner and Miss
O'Donnell. witnesses who had had nothing
were in the confidence of Chester up to
the day Of his death. The mere fact of
Mrs. Chester-now Mrs Notwithstanding
been devoted wife to Chester, and hav-
ing sat UP at night with him during his last
illness. was no proof at all that such
a will as Chester made was at all unjust
to her. She was to have her modest Sl25
a month, and that would be ample pre-
vision. AS to Chester having destroyed
the will that would be absurd, as he was
strictly confined to his room for some
weeks prior TO his death.
For the respondents, kowalsky ad-
dressed the court. His principal line of
action was to impeach the testimony of
Turner and Miss O'DOnneli. He said that
they were not credlble Witnesses. In the
MegginsOn case they have proved them
selves rot to be reliable, and so it was
here. II the case was to rest on the tes-
timony of such witnesses. then surely
there was no case at all. AS to the law
yer who drew up the will. A. E. Bolton, it
had been shown that even he could not re-
member the provisions thereof. He had
not seen the will. If will there was, for
many long months. and his testimony.
therefore, was practically valueiess. Then,
again, there was the testimony of the
widow. who said that when her husband
spoke to her on one occasion on the SUBJ
jet. he said. "Jennie. l made a will which
was unjust to yoa. but. thank heaven, l
have destroyed it,"
benson spoke briefly in reply, and Judge
Levy took the matter under advisement.

WHAT CONGRESS SHOULD Do

The New York Sun points out what it
terms the "Path of Safety" in the folio W.
ing terse paragraphs:
Sherman act.
Authorize the issue by national banks OF cir
culation up to par of the United States bonds
deposited with the treasury to secure the
same.
Issue no United States notes Of less demon.
ination than So.
The Chicago Inter Ocean goes little
further as follows:
Repeal at once The purchase clause Of the so
called Sherman act.
Pledge the Government TO maintain on an
equality with gold our entire stock OF money
viz: Gold. silver, silver certificates, green
backs, and every obligation OF the Govern
ment.
Authorize and direct the Secretary of the
Treasury to sell gold bonds when necessary 10
protect this pledge,
Issue no silver certificates. United States or
national bank notes OF less denomination
than So
The Suns platform Is more accepta BILE
to bimetallsts than the Inter Oceans
The latter sauarely sets up the gold stand
ard. while the former gives silver chance
to rise to parity with gold through greater
use of that metal.
A pledge by the Government to main
tain our entire stock of currency at parity
with gold eliminates silver as Joint
mea sure of value. Even If the commercial
value should increase through known or
unknown causes silver would become a
commodity, the value of which would be
determined by gold. The silver-purchas-
ing clause in the sO-called Sherman act
was supported on the assumption that 1t
might cause silver to rise so near equality
with gold that free coinage would not
materially disturb values. The act did not
do what was expected of it.

STATE REPUTATION.

The only States which are now free to
contract debts without Limitation are Mas
sachusetts, New Ham pshIre. Vermont and
Delaware. which are working under old
constitutions, drawn before the scandal of
State bankruptcy created alarm. How
necessary restrictions were, history is
there TO tell. Every one is familiar with
Mississippi reputation; bnt many have
forgotten that Pennsylvania and Illinois
were once in precisely the same condition
of disgrace. Readers of Sydney Smiths
essays may recall the bitter invective
which he heaped On the Pennsylvanians
for having taken his money, and robbed
him. The simple fact was that Pennsyl-
vania could not pay. The coal and iron
interests were unborn, and except IN
Philadelphia. there was very little money
in the State. The country was good, and
the people were hard working; but their
moral tone was not high. and when il was
ascertained that the bulk of the bonds
we're In English hands. the descendants of
Mr. Gallatin's constituents, who had tried
to Dullify the whisky tax, thought they
were only getting even with the enemy
when they let their coupons 20 by default.
lcoehtlJs INaufd
with her creditors, but it was long time
before people would trust the State which
is proba bly, the richest State in the Union.
Two States whose credit used to stand
very hig b indeed were Virginia and South
Carolina. Both are now in default. In
the case of Virginia the bankruptcy was
product of the war; South Carolina was
bankrupted by the carpet baggers. A
question has lately been asked whether
there is no power in Congress under the
constitution to compel these States to meet
their obligations. But in the first place it
seems doubtful whether the power exists.
and secondly it is certain that no judg-
ment against either State could be col
lected. No one would bid for a State
house or State arsenal. The States will
remain without credit until they need
money for public improvements; then
they will probably settle up. The situa-
ton of Louisiana is analogous.
In many of the old codes trustees were
permitted to invest trust funds in State
bonds. and under several Of the old State
banking laws those securities could be
used as basis of bank circulation. The
idea Was that State credit stood on plane

SUGAR.

The st. Louis Republic. thorough
going Democratic paper, says that the
effect OF the bounty law has been to stimu-
late the production of sugar in Louisiana.
The product Of the State for the year
ending June 80 was 2,06S.6 27 pounds, of
which only about 100000 fell below the
standard. The bounty has caused an in
crease of the acreage and improvements in
processes of manufacture. Under the old
process but about HOO pounds could be
obtained from an acre. but by the now
process 271S pounds is the average. 1t is
stated that between SIS. O00.0 600 and $1S.-
100000 has been expended for new ma
chnery in the last two years.
SO much for cane sugar. The beet in
dustry is making as rapid progress. though
upon narrower basis. California pro-
duced 43.5o0,0O0 pounds last year against
about 100000 in 1891. California heads
the list of beet-sugar States, with Ne
braska. Utah and Virginia in the order
mentioned. The cane-sugar interest and
the beet-sugar interest are practically the
same. Both depend upon the bounty or
upon a duty on foreign sugar. Large
amounts OF money have been invested In
improved machinery in both. From what
is known Of the cost of producing sugar
the belief is general that without some
form of protection from foreign sugar the
industry in the United States will not be
prof able. But the bounty clause 10 the
Mckinley act is marked for slaughter.
and the sentence will be execu ted unless
some kind OF combination with other men

above corporate or individual credit. That
assumed high moral tone In the commu-
nifty and sense Of State honor which is
not found in all communities. 1t assumed
also that the State would always be able
TO collect money to pay its debts. Bnt the
assumption was gratuitons. Before State
meets the coupons on its bonds it must
pay the expenses of the State government
and the sums which are required for
benevolent and educational purposes. If
Its revenue is insufficient these latter must
be cared for before the creditors of the
State. As the tax-paying capacity of a
community is limited, it may happen that
its income cannot be made to meet its liza.
