THE McCREARY BILL.

It is expected that the McCreary bill
will be voted on Monday. There is an
administration majority sufficiently large
TO pass it. The bill impalrs the force of
the Geary act. but would still be of some
service If honestly enforced But the sub
stitution of the McCreary act for the
Geary act will afford opponents Of Chinese
restriction another opportunity to take the
law before the Supreme Court. The fact
that the McCrearY bill is less effective
than the act it takes the place of will not
stand in the way of demand for judicial
interpreta ton. For this reason if for no
other il is much to be hoped that the Nc
Creary bill may be defeated. The Geary
act has stood the test of judicial examina-
ton. A simple amendment extending the
time in which Chinese may register would
not afford an excuse to bring the act again
before the court. There can be no better
time than the present to establish the
principle of restriction of undesirable im-
migration. The country is full Of idle men
and wages are being reduced both in the
East and in this State. To open the gates
to the millions of Chinese laborers who
would flock to this country if the restric-
tion act should be hung up for court
decision would be little short of crime.
There are people of our own race in the
country to do all the work there is to do.

roads that are parties to the combination.
But the fact should not be forgotten that
there is no condition I'm the several fran
chlses making any transfer an obligation.
1t is matter of goodwill rather than Of
law. When there were several roads
under as many different managements it
was deemed good policy to stimulate
travel By means of transfers. The cars
had to run at snort intervals to secure a
fair share of patronage aud might as well
carry passengers as not. But when all
the roads are under one control cars will
be run only when it is profitable to run
them. There will not be competing
line that the public can fall back upon.
1t is in this way Of reducing the number
of trips that the principal saving will be
made. When line can carry as many
passengers by running ear once in ten
minutes as by running one more in every
five minutes. the ten minutes will win.
Still there is a hope that the new combina-
ton may think that it is better to serve
the public than to fight them. Fighting
has not done much good in Oakland SO
far.

CLOTURE.

Mr. Parnell and his followers in Paria-
menJ, copying the tactics of the Democrats
in our House to prevent the adoption of
the reconstruction measures in 1867, eleven
years ago. by series of obstructions,
brought the business Of Great Britain to a
standstill. To overcome the deadlock it
became necessary TO invest the Speaker
with the power of ordering vote when
legitimate discussion had been exhausted.
Some English members opposed the new
rule Mr.. Gladstone proposed But the
Prime Minister and Parliament had not as
much faith in the forbearance and dignity
of recalcitrant members as some of our
statesmen profess, and the cloture was
voted. A rule of cloture has prevailed in
France since the time of Louis Philippe,
and was constantly abused under the en-
pire, but it is in force still. So in Ger
many. At the beginning of the sessions OF
the Reichstag the utmost latitude Of debate
prevails. But as the close of the session
approaches the steering committee desig
mates the measures which are to be taken
up day by day, and the presiding officer in
his discretion declares the debate closed
when he thinks all the arguments are in.
The line of reasoning which led to the
rule Of the previous question in the House
of Representatives cannot be successfully
controverted. 1t is contrary to common
sense that few obstructives should be
suffered TO prevent the transaction of
business by speaking against time and
preven ting vote by dilatory motions. In
the long agony which preceded the war
the cause Of freedom would have suffered
but for the rule. Freedom of debate is es-
sentla to the conduct of representative
government. Every man, no matter how
unreasonable or how unpopular. ought to
have a chance of saying his say. But
when he has said it he has no right TO OBJ
struct business by repeating it over and
over again for the purpose of consuming
time. There can be no safety in depart
ing from the rule that majorities must
govern, with due consideration for the
rights of N inorities. If there had been
such rule In the Senate the present dead
lock would have been prevented.

THE COST OF COAL.

The Petaluma EUening Imprint gives
Judge Jackson Temple as authority for
the statement that coal can be delivered
at st. Louis from Southern Illinois. where
the coalbeds are practically inexhaustible.
at 81 ton. At this rate the business of
mining and transporting is reasonably
profitable. The Imprint continues:
What would we think OF such prices here on
the Pacific Coast? We have coal measures Of
enormous proportions than which none in the
world are more favorably situated for mining
the coal and transporting it to cars or ships.
But our coal barons would consider man fit
only for The insane asylum who should hint at
81 ton for merchantable coal at tbe month of
the mine. The reason IS obvious. The differ
ence is not in the cost OF production, OF mining
and handling. 1t is in The ''royalty"-the profit
that must be realized by the privileged class,
the mine-owners. They buy coal lands at a
nominal price-S2 so an acre or less. At an
expense OF few hundred dollars they make a
discovery OF a coal measure. At an expense OF
a few thousand or so spent in development they
demonstrate that the deposit is extensive. AT
once It is capitalized" for millions.
The royalty which our Petaluma friend
speaks of is the foundation of many large
American fortunes. 1t is the price con-
sumers have to pay for management. Ex-
amples are numerous. A company is
formed to construct railroad. 1t gets
money from many sources and constructs
the road. The capital stock is owned by
the projectors, and bonds are sold in ex-
cess of the cost Of the road. In this way
the projectors. without putting their own
money in the road, have drawn out twice
the cost of the road. The public is then
charged enough for service to pay interest
on bonds and dividends On capital stock.
The same methods prevail in serving city
with water. The water costs nothing.
Fumes, bitches and reservoirs are con-
structed and distributing lpipes laid. But
is water sold at the cost Of service with
reasonable profit? Not in this city. The
royalty = that is, the man agement- is
counted as an asset greater than the cost f
all the works. The water, which really
belongs to the public, is supplied to the
public a. rates which at least imply that
the dtch-owners have a clear property
right in it. Coal is manipulated in the
same way. At the mouth of the mine it
would at 50 ton realize fortune for the
owner. But it is sold to consumers at
prices ranging between 81 and S12 per ton.
Unless the haul from the mine to the con.
sumer is more than ordinarily expensive
all above about So is profit. royalty. cost OF
management. or whatever the owner may
please 20 call it.

THE EAST AND THE WEST.

The Los Angeles Herald devotes a COL
umn to the dem oDstrati0n Of its PROPOSE
tion that without the Pacific Coast the
United States would be bankrupt. The
Herald estimates the amount of gold CAL
Hernia has contributed to the East at
81, 200. OO0. 900. The amount of gold coin
now in the country is in round numbers
S702, 0,Oo0 1t was this stream of gold.
our contemporary contends, that started
the country as whole on lis course OIL
development. The Herald continues:
What would the East be without the South
and West? What has enabled this country 10
stand the balance OF trade against 1t existing
for years? The East has prospered because IL
has been the broker of the West and South and
has palmed its manufactures of on the people
of those sections at two prices. without the
corn, wheat, tobacco, cotton. gold and silver OF
the West and South the United States would be
irreelaimably bankrupt.
Our Los Angeles contemporary is cor
rect in most of its conclusions. The Pa
cifc Coast and the South have furnished
the East with raw material, which the
East has worked up into finished goods.
B ut the nation or State which exports raw
III material and imports finished goods re-
mains always comparatively poor. The
extraordinary agricultural resources of
California have enabled US 10 keep our
heads above water, and that Is about all
After having sent 81. 200, ,009. GOO in gold
East if we want little money we have to
go East for it. And this dependent cendi-
tion will remain as long as we send our
raw material East and buy finished goods
of the East For many years England has
been buying raw material from all parts of
the world and sending In payment her
manufactured goods. She buys wool and
cotton, puts the work of her people in the
manufacture of these products and sells
them 20 the producers at ten times the
original cost. England not only palms off
its manufactures at two prices but at
twice two prices. The English people
make a living out of the work and the
manufacturers get rich. This is where
the 100000. 100000 of credits come from
which Mr. Gladstone said would stand in
the way of the reconciliation of silver.
The States of the Mississippi Valley and
the Pacific Coast are greatly favored by
nature. But they all have to go to the
little cluster of States in the barren
Northeast for money to move their crops.
And so it will be until we utilize our labor
force in the manufacture of the raw
material we produce 10 such abundance.
