The president refers ITO the indirect
and almost stealthy manner in which a
large part of our taxes are exacted." "
That is another way OF saying that the
government has been supported and
the treasury kept full to overfowirg
under republican administration and
policies without anybody feeling the
burden or knowing that he was taxed.
That is very handsome tribute for
which the republican party will be
grateful. Under the democratic sys-

RAILROAD COMMISSIONS.

The decision in the United States SUI
preme Court confirming the right OF the
State Railroad Commissioners to regulate
railroads has called out considerable OF
cackle in a railroad contemporary. Now
that the Supreme Court has decided that
State Commissioners may regulate rail-
roads il they want 20. the next thing Is TO
persuade them to want to. There mas
been law enough all the time, but some
what obtrusive and permanent lack OF
disposition to enforce the law has been
constantly apparent. Probably the de-
cision will be referred to as affording
reason why our State Railroad Commas
siOners should be given another trial.
Nothing can be better for the railroads
than a commission with full power to regu-
late railroad rates which refrains from
exercising its power. The offending rail-
road companies can shield themselves
behind the cOmmissi and declare their
eagerness to reduce rates if the commits
sion will only tell them what rates TO
charge. The device of Railroad Commits
sion is the happiest the Southern Pacific
has yet put in practice. A company which
can make the people pay commission to
do the railroads work Is at least entitled
to credit for certain kind OF astuteness

WILD ESTIMATES.

A New York paper considers the Worlds
Fair jointly responsible with the silver
purchasing act for this present stringency.
People of small means have, according to
this theory, been boarding money to pay
their expenses to the fair. 1t is estimated
that 100000 of people have boarded an
average of 500 each. or $500. 00O. 900 in all.
and that this vast sum has but just begun
to circulate. There appear to be- two weak
points in this estimate. First. tho COM
paratlvely few will not spend 500 each at
the fair; second. iu nine cases out Of ten the
small amount they will spend will be taken
from the summer income. They will 60 to
the fair If they find when their crops are
sold that they can afford 1t. Within the
limit of circle. the diameter Of which is
800 m lies, q person can 60 to Chicago and
back for about S25. The fare to New
York. more than twice that distance from
Chicago. is but $40 each way. Compare
lively few will visit the fair from dis
lance of more than 900 miles. California has
spent more money in fair trips than any
other three States combined. The Illinois
visitor will make trip for $40. while the
cost from Ohio, Indiana and other sur
rounding States will not be more than
twice as much. California visitors have
probably expended an average of $3.50
each. and this expenditure has doubtless
contributed to the financial stringency.

THE MINING INDUSTRY.

So far as the production of gold and
silver constitutes the mining industry 1t
appears to be LEGS remunerative to CAPT.
tai than almost any branch of the manu-.
featuring industry. Mr.. Edward Akin
son. who appears to live solely to establish
free trade and the single gold standard,
has figured out that in the manufacturing
industries the annual product bears a pro-
portion Of about So to each 81 of capital
invested. In the mining industry the pro-
portion of product to capital is much
smaller. To quote from Mr.. Atkinson:
In the census year the total value OF gold
produced was So. 886,744. The silver pro-
duced at its coinage value, or at the rate Of
81 20 an ounce came to little over $50 ,OOO,-
600, but its true value, taken at an average Of
80 cents per ounce, now ~ cents, yielded ap-
proximately $4,000, 900, making total prod
uct of bullion at market value of $4,000. 900.
Having previously stated that the capt.
tai invested in gold and silver mining was
little more than S4S6, 000, 900, the concIu-
sion is reached that on an average, Sc of
capital is required for 81 of product. A
calculation as to the relative product of
gold and silver is declared impractica bic,
because so many mines yield varying pro-
portions of each. This statement would
seem to show that estimates that silver
can be produced at cost below its present
market value are incorrect. 1t would
probably be found. If an exact calculation
were possible. that silver costs 81 20 per
ounce. The large chance element In tho
industry attracts capital out of proportion
to the average profit.

NATIONAL VALUES.

The Chicago Inter Ocean says that no
one will contend that it is any part OF
Governments duty to maintain the value
of silver more than of iron, copper, corn
or wheat. In the character Of product
silver has no especial claim. But legisla-
ton founded upon custom has made silver
part of the money ofthe country. Serving
with gold it has fixed prices In accord with
the law of demand and supply. While
Governments would be under no obliga-
ton to maintain the price of silver as a
product it 8 under obligation to maintain
to the extent of Its power the relations
Governments have established between
money and comm ODDITIES. AS rule
Government should maintain conditions
that are producing good results. Gold and
silver serving jointly as measure of
values have done good service for hun
dreds of years. Emerging from a condi-
ton Of barter prices had become fixed on
the average cost, one year after another. OF
producing the two metals of gold and sill
yer. To contend that a Government
which inherits these conditions has only
to consider silver as product is to take
narrow view of the obligations of Govern
ment.

SOMEWHAT SENSATIONAL.

While there is probably no truth in the
story that disaffected sailors On board the
Camp0rdown des gnedly rammed the Vic
t0ris, ~ story is calculated to make the
cold chills run through the veins of Brit.
ian naval commanders The bare posi-
billy hat portion of a crew may be
watching for some opportunity to defeat
an order would tend to impair the conf
dence of the most skillfuI commander.
The testimony of Rsar-Admiral Markham
and the captain of the Camperdown shows
that Vce-Admiral Tryon's order was, If
not absolutely impossible of execution,
attended with great danger. There does
not seem to have been any occasion for
dlsaffection. The loyalty of Vlce-Admiral
Tryon OF course is not called in question,
but it was error Of judgment on his part
which caused the catastrophe. Rear
Admiral Markham and other witnesses
have freely testified to their confidence in
the vice-admiraPs skill as a commander.
Such testimony was an essential part of
the examination. Had Markham ven-
tured to express lack of confidence In his
superior in command he would have been
regarded as prejudiced witness. 1t was
thought better to represent Tryon as a
kind of Jupiter who might have an occa-
sional off moment.

IN LIFE AND IN DEATH.
An Aged Couple Whom the Grave
Did Not Divide.

Did Not Divide.
In an updertaker's parlor on Missicn
street yesterday afternoon two cofiDs.
heaped with white flowers, lay side by
side. The sorrowing friends and relatives
who had gathered around saw within the
glass coverings the beautiful. peaceful
faces of Mr.. and Mrs. Moses O'Neill. an
old man ard woman, who for over forty
years had travelled life's journey together.
and even in death were not severed.
Both the deceased had reached the
allotted three score years and ten Of mans
existence. Moses O'Neill was 70 years old
at the time Of his death and bis wife 20,
but the sudden carrying off OF the husband
following two hours upon the death of his
wife was On unexpected blow to their
children-Mrs. William Clark, Mrs. Emily
Hoskinson and Henry and Joseph ONeill.
Moses O'Neill had been ailing for some
time and it had not been deemed wise to
inform him that his. wife was suffering
from bron chitis. She breathed her last on
Sunday evening and about the same time
the old gentleman asked eagerly:
us mother better?"
Yes; she is resting peacefully" was
the reply Of one OF his sons. and though
Moses O'Nsill appeared treasured by this
answer. it is possible that he grasped its
deeper meaning. for within two hours his
spirit had gone to join that Of his wife.
The deceased were both natives of
Ireland. They had lived many years in
this country. Mrs. O'Neil heing tho sister
OF Sheriff Cunningham of San Joaquin
County. The double funeral took place
yesterday afternoon from st. Joseph's
Church, Father Seaman officiating. The
remains of the devoted husband and wife
were unostentatiously inferred in Holy
Cross Cemetery.
