TIMES UP.

Il is expected now that the Senate will
vote to-day on the concurrent resolution
removing the Board of Railroad Commits
si0ners from office There have been sew
eral postp0nements Of the vote. but they
have not in the least served TO turn the
minds Of the people from the issue. The
Assembly, which was elected in November,
voted with practical unanimity for the
resolution. The Southern Pacific made its
fight in the Senate, where the twenty hold
overs had been named ia most cases by the
agents Of the Southern Pacific Company.
Il there was any doubt Of the justice Of the
resolution legislating the commission out Of
Office when the resolution passed the As
semby. that doubt has since been removed.
The Senate Investigating Committee gave
the commission a chance to show cause
why it should not be dismissed, and il
failed 70 find cause. The best the commits
sion could say for itself was that the
Southern Pacific would not give it the
data which were indispensable to a clear
understanding OF the case. Not knowing
exactly what TO do, the commission did
nothing. Yet for many months past ample
evidence has drifted across the continent
showing the nature of the conspiracy to
which the Southern Pacific was party TO
Increase freight rates. Il has been shown
that the charges of the Southern Pacific
were cut Of all proportion to the cost Of the
service. and that they were maintained By
an unlawful combination with the Pacific
Mail And yet. with all these facts in their
possession, the Commissioners did nothing

TWIN RELICS OF BARBARIsM.

Cholera and erinoline are the 0dern twin
relics Of barbarism. Cholera would be
stamped out If il were dealt with as scientif-
cally everywhere as it's in the United States.
Asia sent 1t across Europe and to the very
doors of our largest cities, but 1t has not yet
got an abiding place on land. There will
be cholera in this country next summer in
all probability, but as an epidemic IL will
be held in narrow limits. 1t is apparent
that we are more helpless against crinoline
than against cholera. The difference be-
tween the two seourges is that one can be
quaran tined while the other cannot. There
Is practically unamlnity of sentiment as
to the welcome that shall be given cholera,
but not so sn respect 10 crinoline. The
women OF the country admit as TO crinoline
nothing can be done. When the time comes
they will have to wear 1t. They will first
denounce, then pity, then endure. then en-
brace. An Eastern writer considers the
helplessness of woman in the presence OF
danger an outcome of her present political
conditions. IL she mad vote she would
have more courage. The writer continues:
Crinoline finds its victims only among
women. and not move. not a shadow OF q
move, is seen either for keeping it out or
staying its rayages after it has reached US
and become epidemic. II woman had the
voice in the affairs of state which suffrage
would give her the National CriDoline
Quarantine Service would have been estab-
lished three months ago.

THE NATIONAL. GUARD.
Dates For the Regular Annual In

The dates for the regular annual inspec-
ion Of the various organizations in the
Second brigade has been fixed with the ex-
ception OF the Fifth Infantry. the head
quarters OF which are at Petaluma.
The Brigade Signal Corps and Light Bat
terry A of the Second Artillery will be in
spected on March 18th, the First Infantry
on the Goth, the Second Artillery and Cav
airy Troop on the 2lst and the Third In
fantry on the Goth.
The following appointments have been
announced In Second Artillery regimental
orders: Private Albert kehn. Battery G. to
be sergeant, Privates William c. Clark,
Gerhard w. Iverson and Richard Robinson
Jr., Battery L. to be cOrporaIs, and Privates
William HOlling, George Colmesnil and
Jessie Kutz of the Cadet Corps to be cor
porals.
The tendency to reduce the caliber OF
military rifles is still prevailng.e For the
fourth time since 1870 the rifles used by the
German army has been reduced in caliber.
The effect of a small ealiber bullet is 10
wound rather than to kill man.
Interest for the movement in Nation al
Guard circles is centered in the Legislature
where considerable military legislation is in
process OF Matching. The bill to provide
appropriations for the support of the Naval
Battalion has been passed. but the approp-
riatioDs for uniforms and encampment ex-
penses Of the National Guard Still await
final action. 1t Is understO cd that the COM
nttee having the subject in charge will
leave the amounts to be filed in to the As
sembly and this course transfers the con-
troversy to the floor of the House. No
marked opposition has been manifested
against granting what is asked, but the COM
mittee is unwilling to assume the RESPONSE
Dility Of naming the amounts.

NOTES FROM NILES.
Good Fishing in the Streams of Ala
media County

Correspondence OF THE MORNING. CALL
The fishing season closes with this month.
Some four years ago 10000 young trout were
put into the headwaters of the several trb-
utaries of Alameda Creek, and the result
has peen that for the last two seasons there
has been good fishing in any OF the streams.
1t is time, however, that the streams were
stocked again, and the attention of the Fish
Commissioners should be called to the mat
ter. There are thousands of campers each
season on the banks Of the main stream, and
one of their chief pastimes is fishing. Occa-
sionally fine salmon is caught when the
stream Is full, and salmon trout are quite
plentiful. Trout o remarkably we'll in this
stream, trout fifteen inches long being no
very uncom mon catch.
For several weeks the young people have

STREET CLEANING.
Chicago paper says :

AChicago paper says:
A number Of estlmable citizens have formed
themselves into al association fox the purpose
Of securing clean streets and alleys In this city.
They have resolved TO do all 10 their power to
have such cleaning, including the removal Of
garbage, performed. by the city under Que re-
Aponsible lead.
Keeping the streets Of a large city rea-
sonabiy clean is an exceedingly difficult
thing TO do. When the work is undertaken
by the municipal government the average
individual does not ie ell called upon to help.
Ia most cases he unloads the household
sweepings upon the city. He pays taxes to
have the work done and he claims the right
TO gToTl il it is not well done. Whether the
work can best be done by the city under
enc responsible head or by districts under
private contract is perhaps a question. In
any event the city should extend certain
municipal regulations over all the streets
within its jurisdiction. which a private
contractor may invoke to aid him in keep
ing his district clean. There is no city to
which the value OF clean streets would be
greater than to San Francisco. From
April TO Septem Der we have steady west
cry winds, which multiply each particle Of
dirt by one thousand. These winds make
a very little dust an infiictioD. People
leave the city to escape. not the wind but
the dust. TIE wind without the dust
would in these four or FIVE summer
months be "a boon to pray for. This
is the only city in America that has an in
exIaustble supply. 1t is the only city in
.the tenn perate zone in which hot morning
DOES not presage sweltering day. But in
San Francisco. when the sun has climbed
almost half way up the western breeze
tempers its rays. 1t is cooler generally at l
O'clock in the afternoon than al o'clock in
the morning. The breeze would be deli
cious; It would be an unqualified enjoyment
. if 1t could be inhaled without dust. Now
that the city is built up three or four miles
10 the westward the wind loses much of Its
old force. There are but few days when IL
IS III itself cause OF complaint. But the
dust 1t carries is quite another thing. When
San Francisco deyises some system of
STRENGTHENING that will keep the streets
and the air clean il will become the summer
resort.to which people from all parts of the
country will flock. 1t Will be a resort where
comfort may be had during the day and
sound sleep at night. As it is, there are 365
good sleeping nights in this city every year.

ALL ARE LIBERALS.
A Happy State of Affairs for the
Members.

Tomorrow the annual election of trus-
tees of the Mechanics Institute will take
place. During the past few weeks the an
nual contention between the two opposing
factions has agitaled the members Of the
institute TO high degree.
In the classroom the knight and Qneens
have been almost neglected. and they have
been left In possession of their checkered
fields undistnrbed. because their manipu-
lators were busy eectioneering.
Nothing that can be said viii indicate
better how matters stand than this, because
when Mechanics Institute chess player
neglects his favorite game something I'M
usual indeed must be going on.
AS matter of fact the campaign OF this
year differs but slightly from the equally
lively ones OF past years. and the main
issues are the same as on former similar
occasions
There is again the old dlvision-lne be-
tween the ''progressonists" and the ''cOn-
seIvatives," the only difference being that
this time the latter claim to be as progress
sive as the former.
Every man who Is named on either of the
two opposing tickets claims that he is a
champion OF reform, although one party
only has headed lis ticket the reform
ticket.
The seven men on this ticket and all
their friends claim that IL four of the men
Of the opposition are elected there will be
stop TO all proposed Improvements and
the institute would never have the new
building which has been talked about SO
much.
This Is firmly denied by the other side
and the four men on that sides ticket so
accused declare that they are heart and
soul in favor Of a new building or any
thing else the most progressive members
can possibly wish for.
The reason why only four Of the seven
candidates are made the target for the oppo-
sItion's campaign shots Is because three
men are candidates on both tickets.
This does not insure these three men a
surety of election. because their names have
! automatically been placed at the foot of
| the ticket, so that all the others have al
| equal chance. there being only one ballot
| containing all the names to be voted for.
The three men who are favored by
nominations from two factions are j. j.
| Dunn. a. J. McNlcoll and Grove p. Ayers.
One party nominated George T.. Dow
| Oscar Lewis. Alfred Wilkie and Robert
! Ewing for the other four places. while the
| opposition wants c. A. Malm. +. Formulas,
| r. Z. Doolan and j. 6. Giesting elected.
F. J. Symmes and +. c. Mosbach are in
| dependent candidates.
Lewis, Wilkie and Dow are incumbents
! and it is against them that the wrath OF
| those who style themselves Teiormers is
principally directed.
The polls will be open tomorrow from IL

HOW SENATORS MAY BE ELECTED.

A contemporary who has not been very
successful in its self-assumed task Of max
ing Senators ventures the fOllowing
There were twenty seven senatorships to be
filed when the various State Legislatures met
last month. In not single instance has better
choice been made than would have been made
by The people.
Probably not. But can any one know
whom the popular vote in each OF the
twenty-seven States would have elected?
Is there a half yelled intimation that the
people could not possibly have done worse
and might possibly have done better?
There have been several very good men
elected this year. California has probably
elected the man the people would have
elected had the choice been left to them.
New York has not made the best possible
choice. butt Is not certain that Mr.. Murphy
would not have been elected by popular
vote. Cabot Lodge, the new Senator from
Massachusetts,, is q brainy man Of high
personal character who had tested his pOpu-
larity before the people. Very likely the
people would have elected him had the
power been given them. The principle of
eleeting Senators by the people is sound.
But it will be long time before the consti-
tuition can be amended in that respect. The
history of the United States shows that in
the absence Of an overwhelming popular
demand. such as that which gave us the
thirteenth and fourteenth amendments,
three-fourths of the States cannot be In
duced to ratify an amendment. The dates
of the twelfth and thirteenth amend
ments show period OF nearly half
a century during which no amendment
was carried. The nearest approach TO an
election of Senators by the people that can
be reached without change TO the eopsiitu-
ton is TO nominate Senators by popular
conventions. Legislatures would In most
cases accept candidates thus designated.
With forty-four States in the Union and
four of five more in sight the chances of an
amendment to the Federal constitution are
not good. 1t should be borne in mind til at
Legislatures do not like to surrender their
