The irrigation interests of the State not
only found San Francisco Indifferent but
absolutely inimical. The reason why the
irrigation bonds found no market in San
Francisco and no countenance in the
financial world was because of San Fran
clsco's testimony against them. There
was an element of enterprise in the in
vestment of the bonds. 1t was little
step above the pawn-shop method of San
francisco capital, and so it met with no
sympathy.
Beyond all this, however, there is a
reason for the refusal of San Francisco
and other capital TO invest in railroads
and kindred enterprises. That reason is
TO be found in the constant menace of
demagogism in this State. In recently
published interview with the leading
officials of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad they declared that they
would build no more railroads in Cali
fornia; that no capital for such enter
prise could be obtained; that none could
be obtained here, and that Eastern and
foreign capital would not trust the people
OF California with their money.
Let 1t be understood that when money
Is invested in California it is at the risk
of the judicial and legislative fairness of
the people of this State. The declaration
made by the officials of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad in effect
is, that Eastern and European capital
does not believe in the honesty of the
people of California sufficiently to invest
money at the risk of their losing control.
They are afraid of the confiscating senti-
ment of the political dead-beat. So the
State is impoverished and development
arrested, and stagnation ensues, and for
this stagnation, the railroad black mailing
press of San Francisco declares from
morning to night that the railway build
ers OF this State are responsible. Califor-
MIA was happy in the accident of having
men of sufficient breadth to build the
transportation system from which have
grown all of the railroads penetrating the
Pacific territory. If the financial leaders
OF this day had the task to perform, it
would not be undertaken, much less ac-
complished

VAIN FEARS.

Just now there Is very considerable at
tention being devoted to the question
of whether hoops in female attire are to be
visited upon society by the DEGREES of
fashion. These DEGREES emanate from
two sources mainly-Paris and Vienna.
Just how they originate has never been
satisfactorily explained.
But after very careful inquiry we have
been unable to find any solid foundation
for the fear that the decree for hoop-skirts
has been issued. On the. contrary, it
would seem that the fear now felt is the
result of mere suggestion arising out of
the expression of noted man-milliner
that the clinging skirts are too narrow,
impeding locomotion and impairing the
graceful carriage of women. 1t is an
nounced positively that the Princess of
Wales will not tolerate the return of the
hoop, and that settles the question so far
as English women are concerned. What
the court will not permit at royal draw
ing-rooms viii not become fashionable,
in England at least.
So far as American women are con-
cerned, there is reason to believe that in
recent years they have very much freed
themselves from the tyranny of fashion,
and that it will be impossible for either
Paris or Vienna to so influence them as
to enforce return to that extravaganza
in crinoline that made the women of the
sixties so ridiculous.

testant for the Office, the wonder is that
Chief Rodgers has done as well as he has.
He has not had fair play, and if ever a
city officer was entitled to the considera-
ton of the people ON that score and to
their support it is the present Chief.
The Republican party, therefore. has
done well in declining to interpose any
obstacle to Chief Rodgers finishing his
term, and in declaring that it will cast its
influence in his behalf to that end, be-
cause the will of the people should not be
defeated.
The ticket, then, is a strong one and
worthy the support of the people of the
city, and we believe it will have it by so
large majority that every man upon it
will be elected. We believe, also, now
that the new charter has become the law,
that these nominees, when elected, will
administer the city government for the
year as fully IN the spirit of the new
charter as their obligations under the law
Will permit.
The platform adopted by the conven-
ton making the ticket is brief and spir-
tied. 1t is straightforward for economy
in government, for needful city improve
ments, for moro careful scrutiny in grant
ing franchises, and is emphatic in demand
for action looking to the establishment
of better water. sewerage and drainage
systems.
This means that there shall be no more
backing and filling, and hemming and
having on these propositions, but that
with philosophical. progressive and
courageous Mayor in the executive office
in the person of B. q. Steinman, there
shall at least be steps taken to look into
the questions of pure water, efficient
drainage and proper sewage disposal,
with a view to making ready against the
time when the city will be prepared to
adopt new systems.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

John P. Reynolds, on account of falling
health, has sold the Pacific Field Sports,
published at San Francisco, to II. T.
Payne of Los Angeles, who has assumed
the management of the paper. Mr.. Payne
is well known to the sportsmen of the
whole country as field trial judge and
breeder of field trial dogs. He has had
extensive experience in the newspaper
business and is an all-round sportsman,
being equally at home with the gun. the
rifle and the rod. The paper under his
management ought to be doubly interest
ing to sportsmen.
Messrs. Hough and Spencer have pur-
chased the Stockton Duly Republican,
and say they intend to make it clean,
strong and progressive journal.

Directions For Washing. starehIng and
Ironing-With and without GlOss.
In Table Talk occurs some plain prac-
teal lessons in the art of doing up
mems shirts: Soak the shirts, cuffs and
collars in lukewarm w1ter until the old
starch is thoroughly softened. Do not
bend the bosom or any stiff places back
and forth, until by the soaking and gen.
tie rubbing the cloth has become pliable.
Stiff linen, especially fine linen, is as
easily broken as cardboard, and shirts
are quickly ruined by carelessness on
this point. Wash clean aud hang out to
dry, being as careful to have this prop
erly done as the washing. The shout
ders of the shirt only should be laid over
the line, allowing the bosom to hang
smooth and straight between. Snap out
the cuffs and collars and hang them so
that the weave of the cloth pulls true.
When the shirt is thoroughly dry-not
before-starch it, fold the bosom length
wise along the middle line; dip it into
the starch, not gingerly, but rub it in
and dip it up and down that the starch
may penetrate the bosom evenly and
thoroughly. Wiring ont as dry as posi-
BILE and again hang out ON the line as be-
fore directed. Wipe of any drops of
starch and starch the collars and cuffs
in the same manner. When the linen is
dry, sprinkle as usual.
When ready to iron. begin at the body
of the shirt, fold it lengthwise down the
back and iron the body smooth. Fold
the sleeves along the sloped seams and
iron smooth, being careful not to neg
lect to iron among the gathers. The
point to be remembered is to keep the
iron straight with the warp threads.
When tine sleeves are irOned, open the
wrist bands, lay them fat, right sides
down and press until they are dry.
Turn and press on the right side. Do
the same with the neck band; then fasten
it together and prepare to iron the bos-
ON. Spread the shirt fiat upon the ia
BILE, slip the bosom board inside, and
smooth out the bosom nicely with the
hands. Wet the surface lightly with
very weak raw starch, using clean,
thin cloth; then press with a heavy-not
too hot-iron up and down the middle
of the bosom. Begin at the bottom,
holding the neck band tightly with the
other hand SO as to pull the bosom into
shape as You iron. The iron should be
lightly rubbed with wax before being
touched to the bosom.
When a polish is desired, after You
have ironed the bosom smooth and
white, but before it is quite dry, take a
polishing iron. rub it with wax and press
the bosom hard until it shines. Cuffs
and collars are ironed on flannel covered
boards in the same manner. Dampen
with weak starch water and press upon
the wrong side first. Then iron on the
right, being sure it is perfectly smooth,
and after polishing press dry on the
wrong side. Any good laundry soap
will do as well for shirts as for the other
clothes. Silver gloss starch is the most
universally used, and good quality of
white wax is needed. The best irons are
the steel finished ones, heavy one for
the ironing, Il lighter weight, smaller,
round pointed one being needed for the
polishing.
