AN ILL TURN.

The Oakland Enquirer says concerning
the failure OF the Governor to sign the
Oakland waterfront bill:
II is an III turn which the Governor has done
Oakland. ana 1t Is TO be regretted for his own
sake well as ours that lie has taken the side OF
tie monopoly against the city.
The Governor gives as one Of the reasons
why he did not sign the bill the fact that
in other ports the water front has been
managed by the officers chosen for that
purpose. Why" the Governor asks,
should the State make an especial grant OF
this character to one municipality while leav-
ing others to pursue different policy ?" To
this our Oakland contemporary makes the
reioinder that the Oakland water front is
claimed and actually held by private cor
pOration, while there is no question of title
in the other cases cited. Oakland would
have had direct interest in establishing
its title 10 its water front, while the interest
In the State Is so remote that little interest
wiz be taken In the matter. The doubt ex-
! pressed by the Enquirer as to the action of
the State in prosecuting the suit to recover
the Oakland water front from the Southern
Pacific Company Is, we fear, well grounded.
A fight that was half won has to be fought
over again.

who can afford to 60 TO Chicago. A saving
OF $40 or So on the round trip is very
light matter TO visitors who can afford 20
pass week or fortnight in Chicago. Al
all events the companies believe that they
will have all the passenger traffic they can
possibly accommodate at full rates-that is
TO say from people who are Indifferent
about an outlay of $50 more or less. They
may also he guided by the notion that those
who save money on a railroad journey will
squander their money while in the city. 1t
is, of course, not matter of philanthropy,
but of business. Western railroads are,
however. in different position from those
of New York and the New England States.
The demands of traffic are not so ressing,
and they VIII find it good policy to offer in
ducements to travellers. The distances are
also so great, especially from the Pacific
Coast, that the abatement of half or third
in price looms up a considerable figure in
the eyes of passengers. The Southern rail-
roads are similarly affected, and there are
numbers of small connecting railroads that
would be benefited by reduction IN rates.
Eventually. therefore. the Eastern trunk
lines may have to modify their exacting
attitude. A fare and third or half fol the
round trip should content them.

ONLY A WOODEN TUB.

There is something jeerIngly contemptu-
Gus in the 100 trne rem ark that the United
States war vessel Alliance is only "a wooden
tub, anyway" The remark is attributed to
the captain OF the japanese cruiser Kon-go,
lying at Hilo, one of the Hawaiian group,
and the immediate occasion OF the commits
Grating criticism was the fact that the ALI
ance had been ordered to keep the Kon-go
company during her cruise. The lesson
may ee taken to heart by the naval authori-
ties. For any all-round useful purpose In
modern warfare the value OF wooden walls
has disappeared. They are about as use
less as the ancient cross bow against modern
rifles Of precision and great range. Under
the fire of heavy rifled guns they would be
knocked 10 pieces like matchwood. The
sending of the Alliance 10 Hawaii was, how
ever, justified by tie circumstances. No
fighting was expected and none has taken
place. But had there been anything more
needed than a display of force the HOSTILE
ties would have occurred on land, and
marines and b'uejackets ashore are an
equally good fighting force. whether they
come from an ir0nclad or an old type of
cruiser. A vessel which has good display
OF sail area has one permanent use in the
training ii affords in forming seamen. a
sailor can learn little or nothing profession
ally on an Rrmored ship without masts,
yards, sails or rigging. He may become
expert in the handling of big guns and small
arms as we'll as quick firing ordnance and
tOrpedoes, but unless otherwise trained he
will know as much about navigation under
sail as about racing stable. Perhaps it is
unnecessary we should have Long Tom
Collins any more in the navy, but in that
case the marine on shipboard should also
disappear Having no duty but fgbling
the bluejacket may supplans the marine.
One form of drill would do for both branches
of the service

LAWS AND RULES.

Prison Director E. J. Depue discusses the
parole act in the light of certain rules which
the Parole Commissioners propose to adopt.
1t is their present intention TO frame rules
which will render the law comparatively
harmless. There are few laws so bad that
wise administration will not get some good
out OF them. The real point for considera-
zion is. what may be done under the pro-
visions of the act. The law stands until 1t
lsTeDealed CT declared unconstitutional, but
the rules.may be changed with each change
IN tile. personnel Of the Parole Commission
ers. The. parole act gives the Commissioners
power to let a certain class Of prisoners out
of prison at the expiration OF years SER
vice. 1t also places the convict so liberated
under the constant supervision of the Com
missiohers. When a rule they have made to
insure his good behavior is disregarded the
convict may be returned to the prison. The
present Prison Directors say that they do
not intend to observe the. power lodged in
the board and We do Dot'question the truth
Of their assertions. But it is admitted that
they will rely largely upon the warden for
Information In respect to prisoners. The
warden viii have no power TO parole pTis-
oners. but he will have power to give or
githhOh information on which the Commits
sioners VIII Issue paroles. Now, wArdens
are generally politicians. They get their
Offices through political influence. They are
quite likely TO have political aspirations,
and. If not, are pretty certain to be at the
service Of some man who has. In either
case the warden may find very useful the
services of a few hundred men whose
obedience is assured by the fact that a word
from the warden to the Parole Commission
ers viii cause their return TO prison. An
exercise of power in the direction we have
described is not improbable-in fact, it is
extremely improbable that such exercise
can be prevented.
Under the present jury system a person
can only be convicted by unanimous YER
diet Of twelve men. Each one Of the Jurors
is admonished to give the accused the bene-
fit Of all reasonable doubt There is also
the chance that juror may be sworn in
under contract not to agree to a verdict of
guilty. There are trials, retrials and ap-
peals. The accused. when guilty, has much
more than an even chance of escape from
conviction. This parole act comes in in the
case Of conviction and continues his chance
OF getting clear or getting off with only par
tial punishment Aud all for what pur-
pose? Simply that the law against crime
may be shorn of what terror 1t now inspires.

CARRY THE NEWS.

The North American Navigation Com
DAny announces its third steamer for
Panama, and incidentally states that as yet
the company is not considered sufficiently
well established by the Harbor Commits
sioners to warrant the assignment of a per-
manent berth 10 that company. There Is
an idea abroad that the Harbor Commits
sioners get their views of the North
American Company's operations through
the Office of the Pacific Mail Company. If
this be the fact it will account for the negli-
gence If the Harbor Commissioners in
regard to the assignment of a permanent
berth to the North American Company.
The Willamette, the North American Com
pany's third steamer, will have a temporary
resting place at Lombard-street wharf. and
1t IS surmised that by the time she sails the
Pacific Mail Company. and through that
office the Harbor Commissioners, will have
heard that the North American Company
is doing little business in the transpor-
fatton line

WHAT THE PARK COMMISSION
PROPOSED NOT TO Do.

Park Commissioner Stow assures con-
temporary that the commission will not
make any injndcious use of any of the
powers the new park aet gives them. The
commission had no other purpose in asking
for authority to lease lots in the park than
to obtain control over livery stable The
commission had no intention Of letting the
park lots for many OF the purposes for
which they are adapted from business
point of view. The Commissioners asked
for authority which they had no intention of
using. They asked for power 10 Increase the
tax rate to 10 cents on the S100-one-tenth
of the entire tax for other purposes-but they
do not propose to make any such de-
mand. In fact the commission apparently
wanted to see how much authority it
could get from the Legislature. 1t was
kind of experiment on its part. Having
succeeded in getting what it asked for it
is content not to exercise any of its new
powers. The admission may be made that
so long as none OF the new powers are
exercised they may be a source of gratifi-
catiCn to the Commissioners and not cause
much harm to the public.

BISHOP KIP.

If the doctors apprphensions should be
realized this State will presently lose one of
its most prominent and most widely re-
speeted citizens. William Ingraham Kip,
Bishop of the Episcopal church, is widely
known, and wherever he is known he is
admired and respected. He is type of the
high-bred churchmau, ripe in knowledge,
rich In charity to all, a monumental ex-
ample of serene virtue.
In this country. where no man has an
cestors, Bishop Kip differed from others in
that he could trace his lineage back nearly
to the time of the discovery of America.
The first Kip was follower OF the Guises
in France apd member of the Holy
League. The second was a Huguenot, who
WAS driven from his country to settle in
Holland. The third settled in this country.
became a prominent member Of the colony
OF New Amsterdam and labOred side by
side with the Bayards, the Stuyvesants and
the kiefts to build up what is now the city
of New York. 1t is recorded of his brother
that the present City Hall Park in New
York, on one end of which stands the City
Hall while the other contains the Post
flee, was his cow-patch. The family Ie-
NAMED in New York for two centuries, re-
tanning high position in society and never
derOgating from the dignity which became
the des cendants Of one of the generals who
ought at Jarnac
About sixty years ago William Ingraham
Kip graduated from Yale College and en-
tered the Bar He abandoned the profess
sion Of law Tor the church and became one
of the clergy Of Grace Church, New York.
His presence was so commanding and his
pulpit eloQuence so fine that the highest re.
wards in his calling awaited him if he had
remained in the State of his birth. But.
forty years ago, when be was just
~, he became Bishop of California,
and has held the post ever since, though his
infirmities lately compelled him 10 avail
himself OF a eoadjutOr. His office placed
him in the highest rank in society and
brought him into contact with the best
people in the State of all faiths, and the
uniform verdict of all is that he was an
ideal servant of Christ. His mind was so
large that it could see good in all faiths;
bigotry was thing which he did not COM
pTehend. His hand was outstretched and
his smile beamed for all.
h was a man of prodigious learning, and
was especially cOnyersant with the history
and antiquities q this State. His brother
Leonard has written much about California.
But the Bishop could have written even
more learned works if he had chosen. On
some topics he was a mine OF knowledge.
We tear the language TO tatteTs when
great soldier or great statesman dies.
Here was man who led a simple, quiet,
kindly life, setting an example Of all the
Christian virtues, mixing in no strifes, con-
centrating his effort on the discharge Of his
functions as priest, and leaving no duty
undone-what shall we saw when he passes

RATES TO CHICAGO.

According to the Chicago Herald the
Eastern trunk railroad companies are de-
laying the announcement Of any reduction
OF rates to Chicago during the fair, and are
anxious indeed TO maintain normal rates as
at present. These companies are actuated
by the same motives as the hotel. keepers OF
the Lake City. The latter have raised their
terms on the assumption that the city will
be so full that almost any prices may be
demanded. In this calculation, however,
they are likely to be mistaken. The East
ern railroads assume that the price of
railroad ticket will not affect the people

Rear-Admiral John Irwin has received
word from Washington informing him that
he will shortly be detached from the COM
mand of the Mare Island Navy-yard
1t has not vet been definitely stated who
will succeed Admiral Irwin, although much
conjecture has been INDUCED in.
Admiral George Brown, who has been
mentioned as the officer who is to assume
command of the yard, is under orders To-
return to Washington. therefore the posi-.
bIlity Of his succeeding Admiral Irwin is
set aside.
During the last three months many
changes have taken place at the yard, the
most important of which were the appoint

Llnnard, and Captain HOwis0n as captain
Of the yard. vice Captain j. C. Watson, de-
