The Republican Members Discuss the
Party's Programme.

Washington, Aug. 8.-The republican
senators held a caucus this morning in
the rooms of Senator Sherman and dis
cussed the situation from various points
of view. The senators from the west
mingled freely with the gold men from
the east and talked over financial affairs
in an unimpassioned manner. There was
one thing upon which the senator's agreed,
however they might differ on other mat
ters, and that was that the Sherman law
was not alone responsible for the lack OF
confidence now existing in the minds of
the people. One senator made a speech
in which he took the ground that fear of
interference by the democrats with the
tariff had done more than anything else
to SOW seeds of distrust throughout the
land, a sentiment voiced by others pres

NO POLICY DECIDED ON.

No fixed policy was determined upon,
the senators saying they preferred to
wait and hear what the President had to
say upon the subject. 1t was agreed that
the democrats must assume the response
bility for all that was done, but that at
the same time the republicans would be
guided by patriotic impulses and do what
they thought was proper to help the coun-
try in remedying the evils that We're be-
lieved to exist. The democratic President
had called congress together and whatey-
er was done must be proposed by that
side of the chamber, and upon that party
the consequences would fall.
1t is probable that a subsequent caucus
will be held at not very remote day.
THE PATRONAGE.
The matter of patronage was discussed
and the caucus committee of last year,
consisting of Senators Mcmillan, Proctor,
Jones, Wolcott, Shoup, Aldrich, Higgins
and Davis was authorized to wait upon
the democratic caucus committee and see
what that party intended to give the mi
nority, and report at the next confer
ence.

TOO FAST.

In run from Rochester to Buffalo a
New York Central express attained the
terrific speed of little more than
102 miles per hour. This is not the
average maintained, but the top speed
over particular sections. 1t is brilliant
work; but is it safe? The New York
Central is regarded as the best-equipped
line in the United States. Perhaps the
Pennsylvania Central is almost as care
fully looked after in the trunk-tracks.
and portions Of the Baltimore and
Ohio are admirably ballastpd and tied.
But when all allowance is made for Sta
bility OF permanent way a speed Of 100
miles an hour involves very great risk for
the passenger. aud it would certainly be
iemeIity bordering on insanity were other
roads to attempt 10 keep abreast of this
feat. Bridges and entertainments made for
light traffic, rails not carefully inspected
and spiked or keyed down are apt to give
way under the eighty-ton locomotives
capable of laundering along at twice the
rate of pigeons flight. On line abso-
lutely straight, such as is under construc-
ton between Chicago and st. Louis for
electric locomoton. the speed is not ex-
cessve; but with curves and variable
gradients and all the risks which come
from extremes of temperature the strain
Is hazardously rash. But it is great age
in creased wheels. Only the other day
Captain Ericsson died-the man who COM
peted with George Stephenson in 1929 for

PERSONAL GOVERNMENT.

When Grover Cleveland became Presi-
dent he found in the State Department a
treaty which. so far as the Executive
Department of the new Government could
act, made the Hawaiian Islands American
territory. The action of the Harrison ad-
minstration in providing for annexation
met with almost universal assent The
submission OF the treaty TO the Senate had
been deferred, not that there was doubt
Of the Senate's action but that the incom-
ing administration might have some part
in the annexation policy. Mr.. Cleveland.
so far as is known, consulted no one as TO
the policy he should pursue. He certainly
did not wait for the new Senate to pass
upon the treaty. But acting upon his own
conception of duty. he Withdrew the treaty,
sent a PERSONAL agent to the Islands with
instructions to undo the work the United
States Minister had assisted to do, and, in
general way, to let the Islands drift. All
this was done on Cleyeland's personal au-
thority. The President has never sub
mitted the proposition to the people, nor
even to Congress. He did not wait for the
opening OF the Senate. But after a ia ashton
the Emperor OF Germany might have origi-
mated he reversed policy which, so far as
was known, was bea tily Endorsed by the
people of both parties. The result of this
autocratic policy cannot at present he even
imagined. Long before Cleveland's term
expires the English flag may be flying from
the building from which the American flag
was lowered. After having refused the
islands the refuge they sought, the Presi-
dent is not in position to protest if Eng
land takes the little kingdom under her
protapfioD

MACHINERY NOT RUNNING.

One cannot help sympathizing with the
exhibitors of machinery at Chicago. They
have sent their exhibit to the fair only to
find that they are to be heavily assessed
for horsepower for the steam they use.
The charge is far IN excess of the ordinary
rates for factory purposes. and naturally
the eX hibitOr is inclined to rebel against
eXtOrtion, besides entertaining the conVlc-
ton that char2e of any kind for steam is
outrageous and unwaTrantable. OF what
use is it to put complicated machinery on
exhibition without showing it in practical
action? The public are interested in ma
chineIy at work, bnt only an engineer can
see piece of mechanism il action when
it is standing still 1t is the rule to give
power free at exhibitions. On this point
the managers have been reminded by a
protest They are plainly told that not a
wheel will turn unless the charges for
steam are RENTED. Should the exhibitors
persist they will win. They are under no
obligation to keep their machinery in mo-
tion, and the management has taken good
care that they shall not have their own
steam. Probably some wretched privilege
sold out to a Spectator is at the bottom of
all this mess, but by this time the man
ayers are perhaps Convinced of their mis-
take in grabbing a. too much.

WOOL AND IT'S MANUFACTURE

Mr.. Huntington is entirely right in say
ing that if the 81, 900, 600 pounds of wool
annually sent out of San Francisco were
converted into yarn the wool industry
would give employment to thousands of
girls and boys who are now idle for want of
remunerative work. Bnt while Mr. Hunt
ington charges higher rates for moving
goods from San Francisco 200 miles
into the interior than he charges for
like goods from Liverpool to San
Francisco he will find it difficult to
convince the people that he has the in
dustrial interests Of the State much at
heart. There has been a persistent effort
to establish wooden manufactures in Cali
fornia. California blankets at one time
had national reputation. But while the
men who hoped to build up this industry
were steadily losing money the railroad
company brought blankets into the State
from the East at lower rates than 1t car
ried California blankets out Of the
State TO the East. If the difference of
ABOUT So per ton had been in our favor
California blankets might have found more
nome and foreign purchasers. The South
ern Pacific now charges 81 80 per 100
pounds Tor moving unsecured wool from
San francisco TO New York. But the
charge for secured wool lie 81 so per 100
pounds. Why this difference The uu-
secured wool is heavier in proportion to

The vacancy created by the death of
Supervisor Montgomery is in great de-
mand. Mayor Ellerrs sensibilities have
been shocked by the eagerness with which
applicants contend for the place. While
the remains Of the departed official awaited
the burial ceremonies the friends of as
pirants were laying siege to the appointing
power. ASupervisor is required to devote
good deal Of time to the city's business
for the small consideration OF 500 ner
month. Yet there are men so eager tn
gain OF to control this place that thew
disregard the ordinary sentiments of hu.
manity in pursuit of it, A glance al the
position of tie board on the water ordi-
nance may throw some light upon what
would otherwise seem a mystery. The
water order passed by vote of 7 3. By
the same vote the movement to deprive
Moyor Ebert of the veto power was sus-
tanned. Montgomery was one Of the seven.
Without his vote the order could not ave
been passed nor could the board have been
committed to the scheme to deprive the
Mayor of the prerogatlye that has always
been attached to the Office. If the Mayor
could appoint himself Supervisor the next
vote on the water order would stand to 6.

A DESERVED .REBUKE.

The Board of HarbOr Commissioners
have been declared from the bench guilty
of using their official positions to the in
jury of trans ortation company in COM
petition with the Southern Pacific COM
pauy. Some months ago the Harbor Com
missioners ordered the Union Transporta-
ton Company from Clay-street wharf to
another part of the water front The
Union Company repre- Sented that the order
would greatly impair their business, but
the Commissioners gave no heed TO the
complaint. The transportation company
took the case TO court and Judge Wallace
has just declared that the order was made
without just cause and without any other
motive than that of injuring the Union
Company and TO assist other companies.
Although the Southern Pacific Company is
not specified as one Of the companies the
Commissioners desired to help, 1t is
known to be the principal competitor of
the Uuion Company. This is rather small
business for Board of Harbor Commits
sioners to be engaged in. That board, as
the trustee of the State. should treat all as
nearly alike as possible, and should be es-
peciallY considerate of comparatively
weak companies engaged in building up
competition with the monopoly.
