and If there was another line down the valley
it would greatly increase that trade, make it
easier and enable it 10 be dohe more rapidly.
Ii would increase The Importance OF Stockton
as terminal point, increase its river commerce
to San Francisco, and in every way benefit the
city. That it would greatly benefit San Fran
cisco Is also true, and even though that city
would reap the greater benefit that is no reason
why Stockton should not exert itself to secure
the building OF the road. 1t should not matter
either way that the most Jealous advocates of
the new road in San Francisco are prompte
by hatred of the Southern Pacific.
The general view the Independent takes
of the railroad project is correct. The
proposed road will do all that is expected
of it. But our Stockton friend is under a
misrepresentation in respect to the motives
of the promoters. The only feeling against
the Southern Pacific Company is that in
consequence of its abuse of power it should
be subjected to restraint The manage
ment of that company has not justified the
| assumption often made that monopoly is
good thing for the people. If the COM
pany had been content with reasona bic
prohts, to do the work assigned to it for
Ialr compensation and to let producers
| VINO take the chances of loss also have
chances OF profit, there would have been no
objection to the Southern Pacific or its
managers. Opposition to it is now based
on purely business principles. While
there may be some public rejoicing
In the fact that water compet-
ton has taken from the Southern Pa
cifc part of its former revenae
there is no general disposition to cripple
the company. Since it would not be just
to the people of its own will it pehooyes
the people TO see that It's power to be nn-
just is limited. The Southern Pacific will
doubtless do more business in the San
Joaquin Valley three years after the COM
peting road is finished than it does now.
|. built will be subject to rates established
by the competing road. The old adage
| that it takes two to make a bargain will
| again come into operation. Now the
Southern Pacific makes its own terms
over all its systems not yet subjected to
competition, taking care only not to drive
so hard bargain that the work it seeks
Will be left undone. When the peoples
road is finished the Southern Pacific
will be compelled to do work at about the
same rates as the peoples road. With
fair prices there Will be good deal more
work to do and the producer will get ,,
| larger share OF the net profits of produe-
ton.

SOUTH CAROLINA'S EXPERT
MENT.

One OF the queerest experiments IN
liquor law legislation ever tried came into
force in South Carolina on the 1St OF July.
The State sets up bar and the Governor
becomes head barkeeper. The original
intention Of the law was to enforce prohi-
bition. but when bill to that effect had
passed the House it was apprehended by
the politicians that the Tillman admins
tration would suffer in the eyes of the
people and consequently the device of the
Evans State bar Dill was substituted.
The idea of this curious law came from
Athens In Georgia. South Carolina has
now set up State ''dispensary," from
which all packages emanate to the subsl-
diary county dispensares, where the con-
sumner must 60 for supplies. The old Ag-
ricultural Hall in Columbia has been Sc
lected for the wholesale business. In it
stores Of whisky and wine have been laid
in by Governor Tillman valued at $780,
600. At the head Of the establishment is
a State Commissioner, whose wife is a
headstrong advocate OF prohibition, and he
himself an abstainer.
Governor Tiilmac has the notion that
the State will earn net profit of half mil
lion dollars the first year. But it is by no
means clear how this money is to be
earned. A county dispenser is necessary
in county dispensary. andbe cannot be
appointed until Endorsed byV majority of
freeholders. A number of the counties
will not indorse, but possibly dozen will.
The State Commissioner can only sell to
the county dispensers, and the latter is to
give preference to State dstillers and
breweries. who again can only sell to him
or 20 parties outside the State. All ship
ments outside or inside the State must be
certified by the Commissioner under pen
atty of confscation. There can only be
one for each county. except in Charleston,
where ten are allowed, and in Columbia,
which is allowed three. No liquor Is to
be served to minors or to persons known
to be addicted to intoxication. 1t will, in
fact, be difficult to obtain liquor at the
dispensaries, for the men in charge will be
opposed to consumption. Under these cir
cumstances Governor Tillman's estimate
oil profit of half million in the first year
is roseately sanguine. One-haf the profit
is to 60 to the county treasury and the
other to the municipality under which the
dispensary Is established s

nett lives abroad the greater part of the

John D. Rockefeller is having yacht con-
structed to attain twenty-one knots. Even
if Mr. Bennett does succeed in having the
fastest vessel it will only be his pride for
a limited period. Some one will have a
proper bone-shaker in vibration warrant ted
to steam twenty-five or thirty knots. But
all such vessels must be uncomfortable

the social pinnacle is reached in England
accounts for the adoption in American
circles of English manners and customs.
Society is initiative. and nothing is more

Secretary Jacob Steppacher of the
Board of Health yesterday filed his an
nual report of the city's mortality.
According to his figures there were 6O61
deaths during the year, or $50 less than the
previous year.
In looking over the figures placed oppo-

that there is a marked reduction this year.
For instance. in 1892 there were no deaths
from pneumonia. This year there were
only 479 In the case of diphtheria, there
were 229 deaths in 1892, while this year
there were 1853. And so on through the list.
