THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC SHAVE.

The Southern Pacific Company's system
of railroads owe the State and counties
taxes amounting to s.. 557, 664 The Carpen-
ter substitute bill proposes to give the CON-
psny a receipt in full on payment of
s1,001. S56 II. The amount therefore released
by the Carpenter substitute bill is 81, $780,
COZ %. The principal argument in favor OF
the Carpenter substitute is that in this way
the State and counties will get something.
While the 81, 001, S56 II that the Southern
Pacific Company VIII consent TO pay is
worth having it is not worth the price paid
for it. BY accepting whatever sum the COM
pany sees fit to pay a tacit admission is
made that the full amount could not be COL
ected Now if the full amount could not be
collected it must be from one Of Two reasons:
either an unjust tax had been levied or a
just tax could not be collected by the ma
chinery of law. The Southern Pacific Com
pany. through its attorneys in the Senate
declares that it will pay so much and no
more. What will the Assembly do about it?
VIII it allow any person or CORPORATION
within the State to determine for itself
what amount of taxes 1t will pay?
The principle at stake is of vastly more
Importance than all the money the Southern
Pacific owes. Is the State prepared to admit
that it cannot enforce its own lawsp Does
it fear that the courts which have been con-
stituted to deal cut Justice among citizens
VIII falter in the performance of their duties
when the Southern Pacific Company is a
party to the issue? The State Of California
should not place itself in this humiliating
position. 1t can better afford to lose every
dollar The Southern Pacific owes than to
admit by an act Of the Legislature that
there is power in the State that the State
cannot compel to fulfill its obligations.

BY HOOK OR CROOK.

THE Calls Sacramento correspondent
says that by seine hook or crook the old
Dougnerty claim for SI67, 900 has passed the
Assembly. This Dougherty claim is one of
a family that die hard. The breath has
been knocked out of its body time after
time, and yet il IS lively enough to get
through the Assembly. The DOugherty
bill is in line with certain contractors bills,
the purpose Of which was to collect from
the city sums of money which the con-
tractors had failed to collect from the par
ties who owed them. About the only
standing they have is that it is a hardship
on q man to WORK and not get pay for it.
But the principle has never been established
that the city should be held responsible for
the individual debts of such Of the residents
as are unable or unwilling to pay. It is
quite likely that the owners of this Dough-
erty claim would object to being taxed to
make good the loans of money-lenders,
tradesmen and others whose business is such
that the money cannot be demanded IN ad-
vance. By what hook or crook the owners
oil the claim convinced a reform Assembly
that their business losses should be made
good by the city we have no means of know
ing. The bill, however. has yet to pass
under the consideration of the Senate. Pos
sibly the Assembly kindly proposed to let
the Senate have the credit of defeating the
bill as an Offset in public estimation for
accepting Carpenters substitute for the
rpassessment bill.

PLAQUES OF AMERICAN LIFE.

The London Telegraph would have more
confidence in Mr. Cleveland if he had not
once been in power and failed to do much
to root out the plaques of American life.
The Telegraph ought to be convinced by
this time that statesmen rise to power and
fall from power without making any con-
siderable progress in removing the inequali-
ties Of condition which are the cause of
these plaques. The Tories and the Liberals
alternate in power In England, but one
part of London starves while another part
abounds in luxury There has never been
a time when the contrast was more striking
than it is to-day. What have English
statesmen done to cause more equal dis
tribution of the products of labor? The
very narrow view which English statesmen
take OF things is shown in the remark of
Mr.. Gladstone that while England is falling
behind in the Industrial race 1t still has
some thousands Of millions due it from the
outside world. and is determined that the
amount shall be paid in gold. Mr.. Glad
stone with his keen sense of justice, does
not seem to realize that Ii ls as unjust to the
debtor to Increase the purchasing power of
money as it is unjust to the creditor to de-

THE COST OF GOLD AND SILVER.

a contemporary takes issue with writers
on finance who hold that the value Of gold
and silver is prOpOrtiOnate to the labor cost
expended in procuring them. 1t arrives at
its conclusion by comparing the labor cost
OF other things taken cut of the ground
with the labor cost cf gold and silver. Po-
tatoes, for example, cost much more in one
locality than ia another, but the potato
taken from a dear locality is worth no more
in a common market than the potato taken
from a cheap locality. The view of our
contemporary does not take into cOnsdera-
ton the fact that the weight and bulk of
potatoes are large in proportion to their
value, while the weight and bulk Of gold
and silver are in small quantities, next to
nothing. A man might carry gold TO the
amount of $1,000 a distance of 100 miles,
while to haul $1,000 worth of potatoes the
same distance would cost more than their
value in any market. Gold and silver are
indestruchble, while potatoes have at best
but few months of life. We trust our
contemporary must see the absurdity Of its
argument. That the relation of gold and
silver TO each other and that their joint
relations to other metals are determined by
the cost of procuring them is demon
strated by the fact that during centuries of
time this relation has not greatly changed.
Taking one period and another, it costs
sixteen times as much to get an ounce of
gold as to get an ounce of silver. The rela-
tions CT copper, iron. lead and other base
metals to each other and to gold and silver
are determined in the same way. Iron in
its highest stage Of manufacture would
serve as good purpose as gold for money
but for tie fact that iron is so plentiful and
its cost of refinement so low that money
made from it would have no considerable
intrinsic value. 4 hundred dollars worth
of steel would prove a rather heavy load to
pack about. Senator Stanford is understood
to have declared that the cost Of getting gold
and silver had nothing to do with their
money value The Government stamp is
what gives our coin its value according to
that authority. But il the Government
should stamp 25.S grains of steel dollar it
would not pass for a dollar unless made
redeemabla in gold

MONUMENTAL FAM e.

The most costly and ostentatious monu-
ments in marble or granite to be seen in the
United States are, with little exception.
those of very wealthy men. With ample
fortune al command they do honor to them
selves by erecting a massive mausoeum
during their lifetime or by leaving explicit
directions and the requisite funds to have
their wishes carried out. What little fame
comes from tomb of grandeur they may
have according to their pleasure. Accord
ing TO its cost the erection of a monument
puts money into circulation, and if it has
gloomy association ii may have qualities Of
architectural style and establishment which
endure and are admired long after the fame
of the person commemorated has vanished.
The man OF wealth who leaves his surplus
accumuations for philanthropic, artistic,
scientific or educational purposes has
monument which keeps his memory green
in ages long after he has passed away. Yet
even munifeent benefaetOrs are only CON-
memorated in the districts where their good
deeds are operative. Their fame is not
universal Only the distinguished, who
have performed the highest achievements
for their country or the world at large, have
their name and fame spread abroad down
the centuries beyond the possibility of for
getfuness. Statesmen, rulers, those who
command and win victories marking epochs
on land and sea. the eminent in science and
discovery and great literary thinkers con-
siitute the ranks Of the few whose names
survive imperishably without sculptured
marble.
What is the need of a monument 10 Wash
ington, Lincoln or Grant? The sculptor
and architect can add nothing to their
names or spread their renown farther
aield. Their deeds will be eloquent while
the flag floats in the country they fought
for and governed in times of crisis. Thus
the colossal obelisk at Washington which
commentaries the Father of his Country
has much less significance personally and
nationally than the great pile of the Capt.
toi. which. like the flag unfurled, symbol
ICES the union of our States. 1t provokes a
smile to learn that the New York monu-
meut to General Grant is still uncompleted.
Eight years ago the body of the soldier
President was laid to rest at Riverside.
New \ oTk clamored for the honor of his
grave and the privilege of providing a
worthy monument to mark the site. 1t was
to cost a million dollars. A year would be-
hold the work finished. Years have rolled
by and only few hundred thousand dol
lars are laggardly and stingly fortheom-
ing. a personal canvass and circulars for
subscriptions had to be resorted tn. 1t is
now understood that the whole of the
money has been raised, that the contracts
are let, and that the monument will soon be
finished. However appropriate the monu-
ment may be. its history is anything but
cred!tabIe to the Empire City. Twice the
amount in nickels could have been obtained
within week for some form of commemora-
ton at Washington. 1t was a mistake to
consult the milliunaires at all, for popular
subscription had at last to be tried, and
should have been tried at the outset.

UNDER A INSTRUMENTATION.
The Red Bluff Sentinel saws:

The Red Bluff Sentinel says:
That competing railway to the East from the
Pacific seaboard, from San francisco. II you
please, would be OF inealeulable good to Call
fornia, as whole, no one will pretend TO deny.
But that san Francisco should be made the
dumping ground for Eastern traffic, freight and
passengers, TO be from there distributed TO in.
terror towns and cities is the height Of folly
and short sighted policy that no broad minded
people ought to contemplate for moment.
Whether San Francisco receives goods by
land or sea she will distribute only where
she can reach consumers at prices as low as
like goods can be obtained from other
sources. Interior cities will be deprived of
none of their present facilities of getting
goods from the East by railroad. and we do
not see why interior cities should complain
If this city should. through her advantage
as a seaport, offer them goods at lower rates
than a railroad can afford. A number of
our interior exchanges seem to be under tie
impression that San Francisco contemplates
n policy which will deprive interior cities
of advantages they now possess. This idea
has been haTped upon by Southern Pacific
organs until by some superficial observers
IL is accepted as true. But the purpose Of
San Francisco is to get the trade of interior
cities by Offering them better terms than

oAKLAND's OPPORTUNITY.

The people of Oakland are up in arms
with vigoT unknown in the past to carry

cast aside for the sake Of securing good
government from honest men, wherever
they are 10 be found. 1t is no time in the
history of the city to ask whether a can
didate is a Democrat or a Republican. For

istraliye service is required one is as good
as the other. The great essential ia good
character. Is the candidate a man of prin-
cipleP Ras he capacity? Can be be

VIII he perform them honestly? AS Mayor,
Treasurer, Tax Collector, OF member OF
the Council. will he keep to the line Of
faithful duty, or will he join hands in an
other ring and govern the people for the
sake of betraying them and pocketing
Doodle? Better an office-hOlder who is not
politician al all, OF who only gives vote
silently without parade or noisy demonstra-
ton, if be can be relied upon in any posi-
ton Of trust, and win not make his posi-
tion stepping stone to place-hunting and
1obbery. The mere fact that man calls
himself Republican or Democrat should
weigh as nothing with voters. There are
numbers OF apparently well-nformed men
who could not define what they mean or is
meant by these party-banner terms. An
efficient officer in an administrative posi-
lion may never have given a thought to
party politics. The citizens of Oakland
should make up their minds to select their
servants not because they cling TO a partic-
ular cleavage Of politics, but because they
are suited to the position they seek. II
they are not suitable they are not worth
having, no matter what their politics or
amiable personal characteristics may be.
The true Republican OF Democratic prin-
ciples which should give complexion to the
government Of a city may be summed up in
two words-honesty and capacity. Neither
requisite will answer without the other
There must be proof of both by the expert
ence had Of a mans career. Professions
are not sufficient II they were, there
would be no black sheep In the biggest flock
of office-seekers. Oakland is at a critical
period of its history. 1t needs the counsel
and the courage Of men of high principle
and integrity Its first thought should be
the character and reliability OF the officers
whom II has to elect. It's last thought
should be as the first Politics In the
national sense should have no bearing Oh
the decision. 1t Is question OF household
rule, matter which touches every house
holder in taxes, comfort, sound adminlstra-
ton Of local affairs and advancement Of
common interests. In all this partisanship
should be eXtruded, just as it is in private
business. The NOn-Partisans should win.

WHAT HE DID NOT SAY.

President Cleveland's inaugural message
has nothing to say about the annexation of
the Hawaiian Islands. Neither did lie deem
it worth while TO make a reference to the
Monroe doctrine. in fulfllment of which
the proposition to annex the Islands is
made. These facts, taken in connection
with the general expressions of satisfaction
which come from abroad, cause an un-
pleasant apprehension in the American
mind. 1t is. Of course. quite possible that
the President will announce his foreign
policy in q message to the Senate. which
has had the annexation proposition
under consideration. 1t is also possible that
Mr.. Cleveland may think it better to nose
as the great inscrutable until compelled to
act. But he is not large man enough to
stand in the way of manifest destiny.
