ON THEIR OARS.
No Excitement in Pacific
Bank Matters.
BOTH RECEIVERS ON HAND.
Judge Hebbard Denies the Motion to
Vacate the Appointment of
Receiver Wiley.

There are at present enough people In
charge of the Pacific Bank to watch each
other very carefully, but who Is actually
authority is very much mixed prOpo-
sitoD.
Sheriff McDade, as receiver. still guards
the assets. and the money that belonged to
the bank that is deposited elsewhere still
stands in his name. The formal transfer
was not made yesterday. and the reason
given is that McDade's attorney was busy
in court and could not hold any confer
ence with the attorneys representing the
other interests.
Attorney Stone, who is advising Re-
ceiver Wiley, said that he was satisfied
that the matter might stand another day,
and had consented to ii. He denied that
there was any complication which had
caused the delay. and that it bad no sig
nificance whatever.
Early yesterday morning Receiver Wiley
and Mr.. Stone presented themselves at the
Pacific Bank and formally took possession,
though they held divided hOnors with one
OF Sheriff McDade's deputies. No action
OF any kind was taken during the day, but
Stone said that as soon as they were in full
possession an inventory OF assets and Sc
curities would be taken, and of liabilities
as well. Also the character and condition
of these securities will be looked into, and
everything prepared for the speedy wind
ing up of the banks affairs. in case the
order OF the court shall be given.
Judge Hebbard during the day heard the
motion of the bank people TO vacate the
appointment of Receiver Wiley. also the
restraining order which was issued at the
same time. The motion was made on the
ground that the condition Of the banks
affairs was not such as TO necessitate the
appointment. that it was beyond the juris-
dictiOD Of the court and that there was no
warrant of law for the action.
knowing what the fixed views of this
court are" said Attorney Dunno. "we
merely wish to call your Honor's attention
to this matter for the purpose Of keeping g
the record in the case all straight"
This court has no fixed views exec pt
those which are fixed by law" replied his
Honor, and he then denied the motion and
told the attorney that he had better file
his brief regularly if he was particular
about the record.
Mr.. Dunno then wished the court to al
low the bank reasonable amount of
money. Of that now in the receivers hands,
with which to pay attorneys fees. The
banks cash being all out of its control
there remains nothing with which to pay its
counsel, but the Judge ruled as in the
other motion that it did not come regularly
before Inc court.
1t now appears that the sack of coin
which was carried back and forth between
the Nevada Bank and the safe deposit
vault yesterday was $4,000 which was 10 be
used for all attorneys fee, and Sheriff Me-
Dade afterward found that he might be
held personally for it, and so demanded Its
return.
The morning call., 1893-10-18

Geary has expressed the opinion that the
administration will enforce the bill if il
becomes law. II the Senate coneurs in
the action of the House the President will
probably sign the bill. If ne had not in
tended to he would have found some way
to escape the odium of veto. The dan
ger now lies in the Supreme Court. The
decision on the Geary act rendered in May
is not absolutely binding upon the court as
now constituted. Justice Harlan took no
part in the May decision. and one OF the
four Justices who sustained the act has
since died. What will be the result Of a
hearing on the new act can only be con-
jectured. If the Supreme Court declare
the McCreary act cons nstitutional, always
supposing that the bill become law. the
Chinese question will be practically settled.
Under the provisions of the bill as passed
Chinese immigration can be stopped. Let
us hope that this fine prospect be not OBJ
scured.
The morning call., 1893-10-18

most of the new States in the river valleys
foreigners vote without going through the
formality of naturalization. The under
stan ding is that they shall only vote at
local elections but in practice they often
vote for members OF Congress and for
Legislatures which elect Senators. 1t is
an abuse which through long impunity
has become a settled custom. In the
large cities the same result Is attained by
fraudulent abuse of the naturalization
laws. In New York, Boston, Chicago and
Cincinnati shoals of foreigners are pitch
forked into the voting list before every
election. That the wrong must be detri-
mental follows logically from a compari-
son of the fitness of the raw immigrant
with that of the native old citizen /; but
each party ben nefits by it In turn, and 1t
goes unchecked.
Every now and then an outcry arises
against the domination of foreigners by
the abuse of the election laws. This af-
fords demagogues an opportunity to -four
ish schemes for the restriction Of immigra-
tiop and for the disfranchisement of
aliens. These are merely for buncombe
It would be very desirable to confine the
franchise to those who were competent to
exercise it intelligently and conscien-
tiously. But. as matter of fact, no peo-
pie or race which ever won self-govern-
ment was afterward deprived of it. A
vote is thing which. once given, never
can be taken back. Now and then gov
ernments or monarchs have tried to place
restrictions on the franchise. as the Bour-
bons did when they got back TO France,
but the end is always the same; in France
it was ths overthrow of the throne.

OUR MIDWAY PLAISANCE.

When visitors to the Midwinter Fair
stroll up Market street they will be re-
minded of descriptions given Of the Mid
way Plaisance in the Worlds Fair Of
Chicago. About mile from the depot
and in the principal street Of the city they
will encounter swarm of 10-cent show
men, who loudly promise all the great
sights of the world for very small admis-
sion fee. If the visitor assumes that
swindes would not be openly exposed on a
principal street of great city and invests
his 10 cents he will speedily discover the
error of his assumption. There are out-of-
the-way places in most large cities wnefe
deceptions of this nature are practiced,
but main thoroughfares are usually left
clear of them. When we invite the
stranger within our gates we should pro-
tect him as far as possible from impOsi-
tiOn,

THE HARBoR COMMISSIONERS.

The League of Progress has addressed a
letter to Governor Markham in which the
charge is made that the Harbor Commits
sioners have refused the DaVie Ferry Com
pany landing place at the end of Market
street wharf on the praten Sc that the slips
are now all leased by the Southern Pacific
Company. 1t was stated also that the
Southern Pacific Company used these slips
for freightboats and as kind of a repair
shop. The Commissioners had refused to
disturb possession of the Southern Pacific
on authority of a court decision which was
given in a case which had no other points
of resem blance than that both related to
the use of wharves. Judge Wallace in the
case of the Union Transportation Com
pany decided that the company in posses
sion could not be removed to make room
for another company. The Harbor Com
missioners had, however. ignored the
somewhat important fact that the Union
Transportation Company was using its
berth for the purposes for which the grant
had been made while the Southern Pacific
is not. When the proposition to build a
grand union ferriage depot was before the
people the objection was urged that the
proposed union depot would be practically
Southern Pacific depot. 1t was said then
that the Board of Harbor Commissioners
would give the Southern Pacific Company
all the accomm odation it might ask for aud
divide what might be left among other COM
panies. TIE apprehension was then ex-
pressed that when all the real and imagin-
ary wants of the Southern Pacific had been
supplied what was left would not be worth
quarreling about. The Board of Rarbor
Commissioners seem inclined to realize
this apprehension. The Davie Ferry Com
pany is crowded out to an exposed landing
while the Southern Pacific Company re-
tains for some kind Of use the slips that
the Dayie Company are fairly entitled to.
1t is not probable that the League of Prog
ress addressed Governor Markham with
any expectation of conveying information
to that official. The Governor knows what
Is being done and is not believed to have
exercised his discretion in the matter of
appointments with an expectation of diff
ferent results.

STIMULATING IMMIGRATION.

Five hundred unemployed Poles and
Bohemians recently surrounded the City
Hall In Pittsburg and'demanded that the
Mayor should give them work. The
police scattered the crowd, bQt the Mayor
invited one of them to his Office and had a
friendly talk with him. The immigrant
said that they had been induced to come
to America this last summer by the assur-
ance given by the agents of steamship CON-
panes that steady work and high wages
awaited them in the land of the free and
home of the romancer. In nearly all the
districts of Bohemia and Poland placarGs
are posted almost equivalent to guarantee
of work and wages. Commenting On this
rascally Misrepresentation a Pittsburg
paper says:
Wherever the Inhabitants OF foreign coun-
tries are invited and urged by the agents Of
steamship companies TO take passage for
America the consular representatives OF this
country could be well employed In counteract-
ing the influence OF such invitations by warn
ings and statements as to the condition Of the
labor market here.
Our Pittsburg contemporary is rather
too tender of the steamship companies
that hold out false inducements. The
WARNINGS anu eIhtclHeutS VI conSuIar rep
resentatives might not reach one-half the
people who would see the placards. And
those who might see both would not know
how to decide between conflicting state
ments. A better way would De to hold
steamship companies responsible for the
acts of their agents. Their greed for gain
brings suffering upon their immediate
dupes and heavy expense upon the people
of the United States. Common sharpers
are prohibited from practicing their tricks
upon travellers. and there seems no reason
why like laws should not be made for more
pretentious offenders.

TELEPHONE RATES.
The Board of Control Declares Them
Excessive.

The board of control of the League of
Progress has issued a letter to the public
ia which 1t declares that telephone rates
in San Francisco are excessive. 1t says
that it has called upon the local company
for explanation, but without avail. Con-
tiDuing, the board of control says:
"Unaided, no single individual or or
ganization can successfully combat pow
erful and wealthy corporation. Con-
certed action of general character is
necessary. and it beho0ves the merchants
OF San Francisco who are users of the tele-
phone, or who would use the same if the
expense were so re sonable as to warrant
it. to bring to bear upon the local company
whatever influence they may have to Sc
