THE REASON WHY.

From an interview, which appears
elsewhere in this issue, the public will
learn why the Finance Committee Of
the late Legislature did not present all
the results Of expert Lows investigation
to that body. The reason is very
simple and quite in the line Of what
might have been expected The Fin
ance Committee happened to have a
confirmed and indurated Royalist
majority which emasculated the experts
report, and presented the amended
version to their colleagues and to the
House. AS it was, the Committees
finding bore down severely upon the
Marshal's office, as did the speeches
made in the reform wing Of the Legs,
lature over the peculiar immunity
Wilson enjoyed at the hands OF
the then Queen. Nor was the Mar
shals office the only hotbed of corrup.
ton uncovered at the time through the
inability of the Royalist com nitteeme n
to keep all the smells from escaping.
The Bureaus OF Finance did not go
free nor did those in the Interior office,
In fact the business methods of the
Monarchy GOT deal even from it's
Finance Committees whltewashed

Monarchists vince if they had any sen,
sitiveness to a moral castigation. Had
the entire report of Mr.. Low found its
way to print, then there might have
been a political earthquake indeed

first passed through Royalist dessl,

THE LEASED LAND SYSTEM.

Had the Government chosen to sell
some Of its city and country real estote
at the high prices which such holdings
would surely have brought there would
have been no need of borrowing a cent
to make the Spreckels payment. Much
of this property is now valuable, com
prlsing as it does hotel, private house
and business block sites most of which
the occupants would like to secure in
fee simple. Its present form of owner
ship, is, to say the best of it, question
able survival Of the paternal seignorities
which the Royal Government was
pleased to exercise; and it should not
under modern forms of administration
be perpetuated. One can hardly
call it the proper business of a
common sense government to hold
realty beyond the amount actually re-
CURED for public use. Superhuous
properties need to be sold and then
taxed rather than held for speculation
in leases Indeed, wherever it is pos
sble, the lease system should be sup
planted by that of actual conveyance.
The why's and wherefores of this are
not far to seek. In the first place
leased property is not often improved
to the best advantage by the lessee fol
the same reason that the raCk.renters
of Ireland keep from expanding much
upon land which they cannot buy. L
is also the cause of temporary rathe
than permanent population and is APP
to be productive of corrupt layorltism

Whenever the Government get
ready to have a boom here and tC
make the wheels of business whirr, anC
incidentally to fill its treasury, all it vii
need to do is to homestead the Grown

men SAID Wednesday night was re
rate for q new ship on her
first voyage. The Majestic held the
maiden voyage record, having made the
trip in days, 10 hours and 80 minutes.
The Teutonic made her first trip in
6 days ID hours and As minutes, and
the Paris in days IS hours and So min
utes. The Campana broke also another
record, that of the fastest days's run for
a steamer on her first trip. There has
been considerable tax during the week
of a race between the Campania and
the Paris. Both ships left on their trip
on the same day, the Campanla start
ing from Liverpool and the Paris from
Southampton on Saturday, April 22d.
1t has been said that the voyages gave
a good chance for comparison between
the two vessels. The Paris, however,
got here ahead of the Campania. She
passed the bar at thirteen minutes to
4 o'clock Wednesday morning, making
a trip of 3,I27 knots in 9 days II
hours and 50 minutes. Her
fastest daily run was on Tuesday, when
she had fine weather with no head
winds and comparatively calm sea- She
covered on that day sos knots. Her
other daily runs were: On Sunday, 426
knots; Monday, 4S7; Wednesday, 1876;
Thursday 451; Friday, 443, and Sat.
urday, 3I4. The Paris reported that
she did not meet the Campania on her
trip. Captain Hams, the commodore
of the Cunard line, is in command OF

the largest passenger vessel ahoat, her
dimensions being length over all, 625
feet; breadth, IS feet; depth, Al
feet Her measurement is nearly 8,
900 tons. The engines are said to be
the most powerful and perfect of the
kind ever constructed, developing al
least $4,000 horse power by steam
generated from thirteen boilers heated
by a hundred furnaces. The masts
and tunnels rake at the same angle
giving the vessel yacht like appearance
The two tunnels are each twenty-si>
