HARD ON THE PARTY.

II there is any truth in the report that
Mr.. Cleveland has given Carlisle and Dick
inson authority to tell members of Congress
that patronage depends upon the action of
Congress on The silver question, he is max
ing trouble for himself early in the term.
No American party will stand such dicta-
ton. Mr.. Cleveland may have his silver
policy, but he is not yet in position to
command Congress to accept policy of any
kind at his hands. The President has the
distribution of patronage largely in his
hands but not absolutely, as Andrew john
son discovered some years ago. The action
of the President elect is the more arbitrary
from the fact that he was elected on a
double-standard platform. The Chicago
platform calls for the use of both gold and
silver. and demands that the dollar of one
metal shall be equal TO a dollar of the other.
In requiring Congress to repeal the Sher-
man act without Offering silver policy to
take its place Mr.. Cleveland makes COM
plete surrender TO the gold clique. This is
a slap a. the Western States which went out
of their way in November to elect Mr..
Cleveland President. 1t is likely TO make
PopulistS. who are for free coinage to man,
doubt if they accomplished brilliant stroke
OF work when they practically allied them
selves TO the Democratic party.

does seem that it is ungracious in the
Southern Pacific to refuse to give the people
little chance to say their say on the SUBJ
ject of transportation.
In his recent analysis of the business of
the Southern Pacific Mr.. Leeds showed
that the company lost money on its busi-
ness in Nevada, Utah, Arizona and New
Mexico but made it up and more, too, on
its business in California. In course of
time the lines in the three Territories and
in Nevada Will become self-supporting;
but in the meantime California carries
them on her back 1t is now understood
that the company has acquired an extensive
railroad mileage through very sparsely
settled country in Texas and the northern
States of Mexico. This new mileage will
not earn interest on its cost for some years.
1t is probably intended to supply the def
cheney out of the earnings of the lines In
this State. Is this fair? l. it not high
time that we put down local railroad freights
and fares to figures which would yield fair
profit and yet would not leave surplus TO
pay the loss of unproductiye roads outside
of the State?
The morning call., 1893-02-03
THE SENATE AND THE ASSEMBLY.

Only twenty members of the Senate were
elected last November. the other twenty
holding over from a time when no man
could be elected to responsible Office with
out the Endorsement of the Southern Pacific
Company. This fact accounts readily for
the difference Of opinion between the two
houses. The Assembly promptly passed
resolution removing the present Railroad
Commits sioners from Office. The Senate
Judiciary Committee seems inclined to
substitute for dismissal a bill Of impeach-
ment. 1t has conscientious scTupleS against
turning the Commissioners out of Office
without trial. OF course the astute rail-
road attorneys in the Senate know that
impeachment proceedings viii come TO
nothing The impeachment proposition
VIII serve as an excuse for vote against
the resolution Of dismissal. When a SeDa-
tor is called to account for not voting to
turn useless body out of Office he will
reply that he voted for resolution to i'm
peach the deliBquents. Impeachment would
really be worse than dismissal. but dismis-
sal can be enforced while impeac hment can
not.
The Senate Committee Oh Corporations is
doing the same kind Of fine work on the
delinquent taxes Senator Carpenter is
chairman Of this committee. This Senator
IS one Of the men now fortunately less
numerous than formerly in our Legislature,
who see no improperly in serving the
Southern Pacific in his capacity of Senator.
Or course, Mr.. Carpenter claims that all his
public actions are inspired by keen sense
Of justice, but the fact remains that be
fights tie battle Of the Southern Pacific all
tie same. Mr.. Carpenter has now got the
reassessment bill in such a form that it
calls for a tax Of $1,000, 600 instead of
s. so, 600. This may be considered good
work. The word will now go out that the
company will pay $1,000. 600, but will resist
paying tie entire s., 100000 it owes. a lit
tie less than half loaf. it viii be con-
tended, is better than no bread at all. II is
safe to conclude that if the entire Senate
had been elected In November, Senator
Carpenter, if in the Senate, could not have
played with that body as he Is now doing.

ately named China's Sorrow, could hava It's

that the peric deal floods which sweep away

averted. but the Mongol will not move.
Only European or American engineers
could render such work successful, but
China just goes on as it has done for thou
sands of years. Government is stereotypei
and clumsy in the extreme.
The Fowery Kingdom may be likened to
the amorphous mass of a low organism
which may be cut up in various directions
without exciting acute anguish in any part
As the human race does make progress we
must conclude that an awakening in favor
of railroads will occur some day, hut tie
Improvement is very slow. The best thing
that can happen for China is that Russia
should push ahead its Siberian railroads,
and that Tonquin, Siam and Burmah should
have many roads UP to the Chinese frontier
The people of China are keen trad r, and

HEYDENFELDT CONTRACT.
The Widow Admits Her Signature, but
Her Memory Is Defective.

=
The case for the defense in tho Heyden-
feldt contract suit was opened yesterday in
Judge Coifey's court.
The widow of Solomon HeydenfeIdt was
on the wtness-stand all day She said she
signed the contract by which she agreed for
S6j, 600 TO compromise with the other heirs
the contest over her husbands will at he re-
quest of Adolph Sutro. who reminded her that
the compromise would preclude the ventiIa-
tioD of family scandal. Mr. Sutro thought
that Sos, 900 was a very small amount TO be
taken out OF S300,0 600.
Mrs. Kavanaug6, her housekeeper, who
accOmpa pied her 70 Mr.. Sutro's house, re-
minded her that she had already, through
Judge Levy acting as a friend OF Solomon
Heydenfeldt Jr., paid the la ter $4,000.
wbeTeupOn Mr.. Sutro wrote The fact on the
margin If the agreement
Mrs. Heydenfeldt confessed that her
memory was had as TO the service by Flood
KOwalsky's clerk, of the paper at her house
con tanning the tenders of the retractIon
made by the heirs Of the SANDERS upon her,
She remembered going to the theater that
night and afterward to supper with Mrs
kavanagh at the GOodfellOws' GrOtto She
could not, however remember the name OF
the theater nor the performance. Solomon
Heydenfeldt was cousin OF Judge Lew.
Mrs. Heydenfeldt said she did not remein-
Der signing any contract though she ad-
milted that the signature shown to her in
court, appended to the contract, was hers
She did not know tie estate was worth
100000 tll Mr. Sutro told her il was. She
did not know as that time that her In terest
was only that of life estate
The trial will be resumed this morning,
