There is an American end to the
Panama scandal. Two million, five
hundred thousand dollars was sent to
this country and no explanation has
been given of what use was necessary
or was made of this vast sum. The
bribery and corruption practiced
in the United States was Just as
fragrant, although less in extent and
in the amount Of money used. The
French spectators obtained their
rights from the United States of Co
lOmbia and purchased the services of
Ferdinand de Lesseps to give their
scheme eclat. The American COM
mittee was not disposed to work for
nothing and de LesSeps agreed to
make, when the company was organ
lied, six annual payments to this
American committee. The first pay.
ment was 100000 francs. A year
following payment of ], 400, 900 francs
was to be made. and Subse-
quent payments of l,5OO,OC0
francs a year for five years.
Thus it was that about s2,5OO,OOO was
provided by the head of the Panama
Caral scheme to influence the people
Of the United States and their govern
ment. Here was a corruption fund
that was capable of accomplishing
great results. Certain public officials
in the American committee received
$4,000 year for their services

Natures surest Ally.

Freeholders, because of the decision
of the Supreme Court of the
United States in the Nebraska Guberna-
torial case, looked about for the naturali-
zation papers of his father and was un-
able to find them, or the record Of them.
He himself was brought to the United
States an infant, and he was and is NOR
ally certain that his father was natural
lied, for he always held himself out as
citizen and acted as such. To put the
matter wholly at rest, however, the
Freeholder, not solely because he
was charter-maker, but to put his
right to vote at any time at rest,
went into court and took out naturaliza-
ton papers. The Charter Board then
went on and made the charter, and some
months subsequently voted on their
work and approved it. 1t was then sub
mitted to the people after due advertising,
and was overwhelmingly adopted. Now
the Legislature is asked to set all this
aside on the ground, for one thing, that
possibly the father of one of the charter
makers was not a citizen, though the
Freeholder himself had acted as citizen
ever since his majority, and was formally
naturalized prior to any adoption of the
! charter by his board.
We contend that the Legislature owes it
to this people to approve the charter they
have adopted, unless it is fagrantly ad-
verse to the Constitution and the general
laws. If it is not antagonistic to these,
no matter what the ideas of members
may be regarding the wisdom of this,
that or the other scheme of local govern
ment laid down, for that is a matter for
the people themselves. For the express
reason that the wish Of the people should
not be interfered with, so long as it does
not fly in the face of the fundamental
principles of the State Government, the
Constitution provides that the Legisia-
ture shall not amend, change, alter or in
any way modify the charter submitted
its sole duty is to confirm or disapprove
the instrument as whole.
We apprehend that the members of the
Legislature fully understand this, and
are in hearty sympathy with the senti-
ment thus expressed in the Constitution,
and that they will refuse to be approached
with arguments against this, that or the
other provision of the charter as to its
wisdom, economy, etc. 1t is needed
only for each member to apply the
case to his own town or city, to realize
the wisdom of the constitutional provis-
ion forbidding legislative tinkering with
a submitted charter, fresh from the vote
Of the people. If San Francisco should
adopt a new charter, and send it up for
approval, it would be the hight of inn
propriety for rural members to refuse it
approval, simply because they did not
think that some provision or provisions
were as good as they might be for the
people affected. Finally, if there is any
thing whatever in the question concern
ing the claim that one OF the charter
makers was not a citizen on the day of
his selection, it can do no harm to ap-
prove the charter and let a court deter
mine the issue.

SOCIETY is on the road to reform. 1t is
now decided by the authorities that
the fashionable bali, evening party and
social reunion shall begin at s, and that
II shall be the hour for retiring from the
gathering. The next weighty problem
that it will pass upon is the advisability
OF coming into the theater prior to the
going up of the curtain. If it successfully
wrestles with that question it may be in
duced to take up that other important
one-that society women should lay aside
their tall hats in public assemblies.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Tehama County for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle

class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 120, 16O and $50 acres
The terms upon which these land are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only Tor three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual Installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years. and then
the purchaser is to have fvs years in which TO
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent per annum.

THE SCHEME OF A DEMAGoGUE

IN the early history of railroading in
California road was constructed up the
Napa Valley from Vallejo, and from the
latter point to Sacramento on the west
side of the river. Long after these roads
became part of the Central Pacific sys-
tenn, and are now operated by the South
ern Pacific Company. The old road is
related to the lines at Port Costa by line
from Suisun to Benicfa and transfer
boat across the Straits Of Carquinez.
The direct distance between Vallejo and
Port Costa across the water is but few
miles, while by rail it is twice, or more,
as great.
Now comes the demagogue Leeds and
abuses the railroad people roundly be-
cause transportation by rail must, Of ne
cessity, be by way of Suisun as between
the two points Vallejo and Port Costa.
He argues that the Southern Pacific Com
pany should be so hard pinched by legis-
lation that it will be compelled to estab-
lish train transfer water line between
the two points, similar to that operated
across the Straits of Carquinez Because
the goods transported by rail are charged
the rail rate between Vallejo and Port
Costa, the railroad company is charged
with unjust discrimination and with ex
tortion.
1t ought to be sufficient to leave the
whole matter to the Judgment of common
| honesty and fair dealing, but the Traffic
Association manager can be trusted to
antagonize any reference of that order.
His proposition is that a carrier has no
right to charge for transportation over
his established line between two points
if it is possible for him to construct a
shorter line between such points, regard
less of conditions, natural or financial.
In the face OF the virulent assaults of such
influences as are egging on Leeds, it is
pertinent to inquire what inducement
there is to capital to make investment for
new and short lines, when it is told in the
plainest English that for all the risks it
assumes its only reward is to be interest
no greater than it would receive if loaned
out upon mortgage, and that skill, ability
aud executive capacity are to be ignored:
that not even the cost of transportation
should enter into the measure of the
charge of the carrier for the service rem
dered.
Pushed on examination upon the prop
osition referred to, Leeds was at last
driven into the corner of absurdity, and
took the back track by saying that rates
should be fixed by the distance trayersed
by the shortest operated line. But the
wriggling manager could not resist the
temptation to disclose the insincerity of
this answer, and before his words had
grown cold took occasion to say that the
railroad people do not provide transport
alton by ferry because they desire to ex-
tort by compelling carriage around by
way Of the established rail route. Now,
said he, the way to bring the railroad to
terms is to establish distance tariff.
This should recognize the water distance,
of course, and the long haul rates would
then be forced down to The short distance.
He added that if he had the power he would
''compep' the railroad company to estab-
The record-union., 1893-01-16

ilsh boats for the carriage Of trains from
Vallejo to Port Costa. Doubtless-and
had Mr.. Leeds the power he would prob
ably confiscate all railroad property in
the State, or compel it to operate upon
the terms the other fellow chooses to pay.
The same logic would apply to all lines of
business. Why not? Why not compel
the merchant to sell his goods for what
ever the consumer chooses to pay?
The reasoning of Leeds, if applied to
the line of the old Western Pacific Rail
road, would compel it to tunnel through
the Livermore hills in order to gain a
shorter route than that over the hills, no
matter what the cost of the level con-
struction or of its maintenance. The
same logic, legitimately carried out,
would compel the Central Pacific to bore
through the Sierra Nevada Mountains
from RockHn to Truckee The truth is
that this demagogue is talking balder-
dash, and he and his confederates know it.
