SAN FRANCISCO AND INTERIOR.

The Sacramento Record Union asserts
that the interior is not the enemy of San
Francisco-that all the interior asks is that
the San Francisco commercial policy shall
not be unjust toward or oppressive of the
interior. 1t will be readily admitted that
the enemies Of San Francisco are located in
this city. The men who have driven trade
away from San Francisco by discrmina-
ton in freight rates against San Francisco
are residents of the city their narrow policy
has so materially injured. 1t has been said
that transportation company would not
knowingly iDjuTe the trade of the COM
munity of which it formed a part The
interests Of the individual and of the CON-
munity would, 1t is supposed, be mutual.
While this may be true in a long run, ii is
not always true. 4 man may derive profit
from business operation that is a palpable
injury 10 the community. For example,
while it is admitted that the free admission
of Chinese coolies into the State would
work an injury to the community, 1t might
be profitable 10 individuals. SO a trans
pOrtation company may make money
by charging producers all the traffic
viii bear. well knowing that its
policy would check production. The
transportation company might prefer to
make large profit on the business it does
than smaller profit on a larger business.
While large profits are in themselves desir-
able, a community which is exposed to
competition cannot insist upon larger profits
than its competitors arc content with. IL

MAPPING TIE WORLD.

a few coast lines on the worlds surface
remain underlined. The longest If these is
the outline of the Antarctic Continent,
which will be surveyed under the auspices
OF the Australian colonies as soon as money
enough can be raised for the purpose; an
other is the coast line OF Greenland. from
Cape Washington, in So deg. 30 min. TO
Cape Bismarck, in about IS deg. north lati-
tude. This stretch of coast has defied the
examination Of voyagers from the fact that
the whole east coast Of Greenland is clothed
in perennial ice. and swept by unceasiDg
northeast gales. Last year Lieuteant
Peary made an attempt to fiji the gap, and
succeeded in crossing the north end OF
Greenland from Lincoln Sea to Independ-
ence Bay. But lie was unable 10 survey the
coast line with accuracy. either north or
south of the latter point. he now proposes
to renew the attempt,
He will start early this summer with ten
men for point on the north coast of Ingle-
field Bay, in about II deg. so Sec. There
be will make his main camp and base Of
operations. Some time this fall be will
send out party to establish cache Of pro-
visions at a point as near rs convenient TO

and at independence Bay they will divide,
one party going south along the coast to
Cape Bismarck; the other, which he will
lead in person, moving north to the highest
point reached by Lockwood Of the Greeley
expedition. II both expeditions accomplish
their purpose, the map of the Greenland
coast will be complete, and our aliases
may be corrected in that particular. In the
summer of 1895 the lieutenant and his party
may be expected home. There Will be no
danger of disaster except that which arctic
travel always involves.
Lieutenant Peary, who furnishes this in
formation to the press, allows it to be
understood that if the weather is favorable
and the march from indie pendence TO Cape
W ashinSton is accomplished in due season
he may make an effort to reach tie north
pole, which cannot be much over 400 miles
from tie most northerly point in Greenland
yet explored. He may find that the coast
line, instead of trendiBg south from indie
pendenee Bay, as it is supposed TO do, may
take northeTly turn and run up toward the
pole, In which case the distance to be-
travelled would be less. His chances of
reaching the Pole by this route would seem
to be as good as those of DIR. Nansen, VINO
is going to endeavor 10 reach it in a vessel
from Bennett Island, which is about a
thousand miles away. The Norwegian relies
upon the current which is said TO set toward
the pole II such a current exists it might
help Lieutenant PsaIy as well; though any
s1edge-boats he might take with him would
only be ht for smooth navigation.

THE AUTHORIZATION ACT.

The so-called anti-cOrruption bill has re-
ceived the Governors signature and is the
law Of the State. The forty-fourth section
Of the act says: All acts or parts of acts
in conflict with the provisions OF this act
are hereby repealed" Section IS says:
This act shall take effect and be in force
from and after its passage" Itfoliows that
every election in this State until the act is
repealed viii be subject 10 its provisions.
The act creates committee of five persons
to receive, expend, audit and dishurse all
moneys contributed donated. subscribed or
IN anywise furnished or raised for the pur-
pose Of ordering or promoting the election
Of candidates for Office" Certificates Of
nomination must not be received or filed
unless accompanied with the names Of five
persons le'ectOrS) TO compose this committee.
The second section provides that within
twenty days after the completion Of an off,
cial canvass the committee shah file an
iiemiZed statement showing in detail all the
money received, and shall file Ike state
ment Of sl moneys expended. When ser
vice is performed the nature and value
Of the service shall be recorded. Candi-
dates are required by section to make
q like statement. The names Of parties
who may have contributed moneys TO aid
his election must be given with a sworn
statement Of the uses made OF such moneys.
Provision is made against an attempt to
avoid responsibility by causing other par
ties to &C: in the candidates behalf. Section
provides that q candidate who shall re-
fuse OF neglect 70 file statement as required
shall forfeit the Office to which he may have
been elected. Section defines the pur-
poses for which money may be lawfully
extended IN behalf Of a candidate or party
ticket. The same section limits the amount
that may be lawfully expended by candI-
date, and also by committee. Next to the
so-called Australian ballot law this act is
the greatest step yet taken to correct the
abuses that have in times past characterized
popular elections. The Australian ballot
law enables a candidate TO get on the Official
ticket without the aid Of bosses and the
anti-eorruptOn act will prevent a corrupt
use Of money. a poor man viii stand an

MANIFEST DESTINY.

Some opposition TO tie ratification Of the
treaty annexing the Hawaiian Islands has
been manifested in the House. THIS oppo-
si,ion was expected. The House must orig
mate revenue measures, and Is entitled to
a voice in all legislation involving any con-
siderable outlay. But the opposition to the
treaty in the House will doubtless fade
away when the treaty comes before ii. The
Democratic party is not at this late day
likely to take a stand against the anneXa-
ton Of territory on general principles. 1t
certainly will not put itself on record
against the acquisition of territory so vitality
important TO the United States as the Ha-
waiian Islands. What would the country
think now of members of the House who
had prevented the acquisition of Louisiana?
What would we think Of men who stood in
tile way Of the ratification of the treaty
with Mexico by which The portion of the
continent lying between the Rocky Noun
tains and the Pacific Ocean was acquired?

NoN-PARTISANs AT SAN JOSE.

The San Jose Record says:
The Citizens Central Committee have issued
an invitation 10 eighty Of the best men In San
Jose TO meet to select candidates for Office to be
voted for at The municipal election TO be held on
April 10.
The Record says also that ''the names
selected by the Citizens committee TO COM
pose the nominating convention are suffi-
cient guarantee that the men they will
nominate will be chosen with the single
PURPOSE of managing the city's affairs on
business principles, and not with view Of
promoting the interests Of political parties
or of political gangs" The principle which
our San Jose contemporary indOrses is meet
ing with quite general recognition in this
and in other States. Municipal affairs have
necessarily nothing to do with national
politics. Municipal legislators cannot pass
tariff bills, fTee-conaee bills. build navies,
declare war. nor do other things we send
men to Congress to do But they can pre-
serve public order. see that the public
revenues are wisely expended. that we have

A DIFFICULT TASK.
rha San lose Mercnru saws:

The San Jose Mercury says:
The (Raiload) Commissioners had difficult
task TO perform IN adjusting all the complicated
differences between the railroads and the people
aud they have performed that task so we'll that
then enemies have been unable TO even form
ulate charges against them. Had any good
grounds Of complaint against The Commissioners
existed 1t woGld have been The duty Of the
Assembly 10 impeacn them. No such grounds
existed and no Impeachment was attempted.
Impeachment proceedings would have &C.
cupied The greater part of sixty-day ses-
sion. The trainers of the con stitutiOn pro-
vided a way to get rid of useless officials
that does not involve criminal proceedings.
A board Of Commissioners may never know
ingiy have done wrong act and yet be Of
no service TO the State. The constitution
provides for such cases BY giving the two
houses the power Of removal when two
thirds of each house fayOrs such action. 1t
will be admitted that the Commissioners
had difficult task to perform. The rail-
roads of the Stale are conducted under such
widely varying conditions that rates just to
one wouid be unjust to another. The
Southern Pacific would do an extravagantly
profitable business al rates which would
bankrupt a road running between small
cities in sparsely settled part OF the State.
The present Railroad Commission has done
nothing to meet this requirement. Possibly
they thought there was nothing to do They
seem to have regarded their Office as kind
of sinecure to which a good salary WAS
attached. The concurrent resolution does
not say they were corrupt. 1t simply inn
plies that they render no service to the
public and may therefore be removed under
a provision of the constitution designed to
meet such eases.

one city attempts to fix the rates Of profits
much above the standard in cities with
which it is in competition, it will find part
of its business going to other cities. The
Southern Pacific Company. in combination
with the Pacific Mail, charged rates for
bringing goods TO this city which prevented
our merchants from supplying points at
which like goods were delivered at lower
rates. But the two transportation conf
panies made money, while the commerce of
the city was being restricted. The COM
mercial policy which San Francisco now
proposes to adopt in its dealings with the
interior is to give the interior goods at
lower rates than the same kinds and classes
of goods can be obtained elsewhere. This
may be accomplished by means OF low
freight rates from the East to this city and
corresponding rates from this city to the
interior Such commercial policy Is cer-
tainly neither unjust uor oppressive.

THE COMING COMPANY.

1t is now reasonably certain that the
contract between the North American Nav
igation Company and the Panama Railroad
Company is signed. This is a natural
sequence to the evidence given before the
House investigating committee on Thurs
day. The Pacific Mail Company used its
exclusive privilege with the Panama CON-
panv TO turn business from the Panama
Railroad. The North American Company
will make rates to concentrate travel across
the isthmus as much as possible. If this
contract has been signed as reported 1t
removes all financial difficulties from the
path of The North American Company.
There will be DO trouble about getting the

The freight train which took fire yester-
day at Benicia was marshaled with culpa-
BILE negligence. Right in front OF gasoline
car. which there is no doubt was leaking,
were two cars loaded with powder. 1t is
almost a miracle that when the gasoline ex-
poded and the flames were bursting forth
fiercely around the car the powder did not
blow up. Such disaster would have pro-
duced enormous damage far and near. But
what IT is TO be thought OF the utter reck-
lessness of placing two such explosive COM
modities in juxtdpositiOn? A very slight
conclusion on the journey might have re-
suited In the wreck of the train aud the loss
