A SIMPLE QUESTION.

The San Francisco Bulletin now ad-
mits that if the Government takes the
original transcontinental lines, in consid-
Grafton of the second mortgage indebted
ness, and which would be thereby dis
charged, it must assume as a precedent
requisite the $4,000, 900 first mortgage in
debtedness, and provide for its clearance.
It is admitted also that the line can be
duplicated in this era for that sum or less,
namely the amount of the first mortgage
indebtedness.
But while the Bulletin admits this
much, it claims that the game would be
worth the candle, because of the advan-
tage to the public under Government op-
Grafton in exemption from discrimina-
ton, deals and robbery" This is very
general, wholly dogmatic and utterly
silly plea. The determinations of which
the Bulletin complains may be presumed
to be the old job lot that it has so often
worked over, and which, il has been re-
peatedly shown, are not unjust dis
examinations.
Discrimination is a necessity, a natural
result in the carrier business, and with
out which there could be no successful
prosecution of the business in the inter
est of either carrier or patrons. Unjust
Determinations are wholly different mat
ters.
So far as the California railway system
is concerned, charges of such discrimina-
ton have always proved to be far in ex-
cess and exaggeration of the true state of
facts. IDEALS and robbery are general
terms that drip from the tongue of the
sensational press, and are meaningless
examples of demagogy. What, in all
this matter, the people have to do with is
the economic question, namely: will il
pay TO take line of roads at cost three
times greater than the lines can be dupli-
Gated and stocked for? The country at
large will have no other consideration in
mind, and should have none. This
economic question has been put by the
RECoRD-UNIoN to the stump demagogues
and the Journalistic sensationalists over
and over again, with the challenge for
straightforward. unevasive reply, and to
this date none has been made.
If there is merit in the demand for
competing road to parallel the Central
Pacific and Union Pacific lines, and 1t can
be constructed for less than the cost of as
Stunning the indebtedness of the existing
lines of road, will it be the part of wis
dom to build anew or to take the old with
all its legal obligations attached? That
is all there is in the proposition. What
the ranters insist upon is a road free from
Southern Pacific control; they can secure
such a road for less than half the exp xpense
of seizing upon the incumbered and ex-
listing line. Why, then. the confession of
inability to answer the question, (which
is the economic policy to pursue?"

UNwIsE ANGER.

The ceremonial observance of Sad
mission Day" seems TO have been given
over almost wholly to the organizations
of the Native Sons" and they appear to
have very successfully commemol ated
the event for which the 9th of September
stands representative among anniversary
days. In some cases the Pioneer societies
had special observances. but il is evident
that these old hewers of the way are be-
coming less and less able to celebrate and
to appear in public demonstrations. 1t
will not be very long before these veter-
ans in State building will be wholly un-
able to take active part on these anniver-
sary occasions-they are diminishing in
numbers steadily and are rapidly grow
ing feeble. There appears to have been
but one cloud upon the general joyous
ness of the celebrations and ceremonials
of Monday-at San Francisco the Pio-
neers took offense at an assault upon the
Native Sons from popular pulpit. The
clergyman, offended at their movement
towards San Jose on Sunday, denounced
tham as .hoodlums" and the sons of
ssunworthy sires.u When on Monday
the laying of the cornerstone of the Lick
Statuary took place, the Pioneers retali-
atsd and marred the otherwise impress

slve ceremonial by sharp reference to the
Clergyman and his assault. IF the attack
OF the preacher was coarse and vulgar,
the attention given to him in the corner
stone ceremonies was in bad taste and
pettish.
The preacher feels gratified that his
shot took effect and drew fire, while the
Pioneers gained simply surprised atten-
ton for manifestion of the irritation of
old men. OF course to denounce the Ma
tive Sons as of unworthy sires was to IN
suit the fathers by wholesale and in de-
tail; and their retaliation may be said to
have been natural, and therefore iustifi-
able. But dignity preserved by refusal
to return fire would better have COM
ported with the ceremonies of laying the
cornerstone, and with the character of
the Pioneer associations.

A LARGE OALENnAR

Numbers of Migrants Ordered Out of
che City.
Justice Devine was confronted by a
formidable calendar yesterday morning,
the accumulation of jags and other Of
fenses from Saturday till yesterday.
Comprised in the list were thirteen cases
of drunk and thirty-three of vagrancy.
The court announced that he would
grant Harry McCloud new trial on the
charge of obtaining money by fraud. The
City Attorney then asked that the case be
dismissed, the testimony being insuffi-
cient. and it was so ordered. McCloud
will serve his forty days on the rock pile,
however, for yagrancy.
E. w. johnson, charged with petit
larceny in stealing a gold necklace and
locket from Flossie Hill, an l. street
denizen, pleaded guilty and was fined
$40.
Harry Hayes was convicted of having
stolen an opium pipe from All Jim, and
was given fifteen days.
John O'Neil, Ed. Wallace, r. Wheeler.
Tom Brooks, Tom Doyle and Tom
Lyons. convicted of vagrancy, will en-
deavor to diminish the county's granite
pile for the next thirty days.
Alec Smith was discharged on a charge
of resisting Officer Douglas, no complaint
having been filed. The similar charge
against James Wilkerson was also dis
missed.

LATE SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
A Fresno Right of Way Decision Con-
frmed.
After Couple Have Been Divorced q
Court Cannot Order Alimony
Paid.

The Supreme Court has decided the
case of. c. Humphreys, respondent, VS..
A. A. Blasingame. appellant. a Fresno
County case.
Humphreys claimed right of way be-
tween two parcels Of his land across the
land of Blasingame. He had owned the
land for years before Blasingame bought
his land and claimed the right of way by
right and not by sufferance and that his
right had not till lately been brought into
question. The lower court gave him
Judgment and findings and the Supreme
Court confirmed it.
TEHAMA DECISION REVERSED.
1t has also considered decision in the
case OF Elizabeth Howell, plaintiff and
respondent, VS.. t. n. Howell. defendant
and appellant, Tehama County case.
This was an appeal by defendant from
an order of the Superior Court requiring
him to pay to plaintiff 500 per month
allmony from January, 1898, till the fur
ther order of the court In 1890 the par
ties were divorced and S7,lO0 worth of
community property in this State and
the custody of two minor children were
awarded TO plaintiff, defendant at the
time living and owning property in Col
from. Fourteen months atterward plaint-
III filed petition for alimony, which the
court granted.
Ihe supreme Court holds that the Su-
perlor Court was barred from such a de-
cree, as the parties were no longer man
and wife, and the former judgment said
nothing of alimony. The judgment is
therefore reversed.
FRESNO DECISION AFFIRMED.
An opinion has also been rendered in
the case of L. A. Bell, respondent, VS.. z.
+. Peck ct al, appellants, Fresno
County case.
The action was brought against defend
ant Peck as principal and Victor and No
bic as sureties on Peck's official bond as
Constable, to recover damages for breach
| OF contract TO perform his official duties
properly, he having by virtue of an at
tachment against other parties, illegally
seized and converted property of plant
| iff.
The case, after having laid in Depart
ment z OF the Superior Court for more
than two years, was transferred TO De-
partment3 3, and the fact duly advertised
IN the papers. Defendants, however,
claim to have known nothing about it,
their attorney having moved out of the
county. Judgment was given for
plaintiff.
The judgment of the lower court was
affirmed.

A EUROPEAN Hygienic Congress is
discussing this week the question how to
stop the outbreaks and spread of cholera.
The answer is simple; cleanse Eastern
Europe, enforce common cleanliness
upon the religious fanatics of the Oriental
East. whose filthy pilgrimage habits
originate the pest. 1t surely cannot be
said to be infringement upon the rights
OF conscience to require these cotton-clad
worshipers and pilgrims to keep clean
to cease drinking water from sacred"
wells in which multitudes of dirty,
bronzed and diseased pilgrims bathe.

THE professor of a department of San

LOOSE THINKING.

President Adams of the University of
Wisconsin, in his recent address to the
senior class, said
cannot resist the conviction that there
Is IN the country at large a vast amount
OF loose thinking in regard TO the
rights and the wrongs of what are
sometimes called the laboring classes. A
part OF this wrong thinking is the result OF a
natural and commendable sympathy, and
part OF II is the result of an indiscriminating
sentlmentaIity. In vast number, if not in
majority, OF cases, suffering has come from
lmproVluence. from extravaganza or from
dissipation. Let us take care that we do not
attribute results TO wrong causes.
This is sound sense from a sensible,
cool-headed reasoner. The truths of his
expression ought to sink deep into the
public thought of the day. There GER
tainly is vast amount of loose thinking
about rights and wrongs. There is
altogether too large class of people who
permit others to do their thinking for
them, and this class is, as a rule, apt to
take the dogmatic assertions and blatant
and untruthful charges of the demagogue
and sensationalists as gospel verify.

MARSHALL CONVICTED.

His Efforts to Help Wheatley React
Upon Himself.
jeff Marshall was charged with va
grancy and Special Officer Alter told how
Marshall lived with fallen woman and
also how he had tried to induce him
alter to quit the prosecution of Walter
Wheatley, who was an intimate of Mar
shall.
officer Rutherford gave a very bad. ac-
count of MarshalPs habits, as did other
officers. Marshall claimed that he was a
bartender, having been so employed
about three years ago. The court pro-
nounced him guilty and sentenced him to
sixty days in Jail, and when he comes out
he will be able to say that he has been at

rhe Fondest Hour Memorv

The Fondest Hour Memory Recalls.
The question naturally suggests itself:
Which is ''the fondest hour memory re-
calls?" Has the reader, whose attention
we hope to engage, ever had controversy
with his stomach on the subject of dys-
pepsia? After convincing proofs that the
digestive organ has got the upper hand,
has wise resort been made to Hostetter's S
Stomach Bitters9 If SO, the ''fondest
hour has been recalled by memory in
the shape of a lasting resumption of a
power to digest, assimilate thoroughly
and eat heartily without fear of being un-
comfortable afterward. When the dinner
bell, that ''tocsin of the SOUL" strikes
agreeably upon the ear, the auditor then
greets it as a welcome sound and hastens
to obey its summons. The Bitters, so re-
nowned as a stomachic, overcome, too,
malaria, bilious and kidney trouble and
remedy nervousness, rheumatism and
sick headache.
