persons from whom they had received in
formation which they had forwarded to
their respective journals. Some time af-
ter, when Broker Chapman was asked in
court il certain Senators had left orders
with his firm for the purchase or sale of
sugar stock, he also refused to answer. Ii
is said that the District Attorney cOnsid-
Government, and will make that test. If
Chapman is found guilty of contempt for
not giving information of which he was
possessed, the District Attorney will pro-
ceed against the two newspaper CORE
spondents. 1t is probable that before the
District Attorney gels through with these
cases be will find that the only point of re-
semblance between Chapman and the cor
respondents is that all refused to answer
certain questions. The defense of the
newspaper men will be that the informa-
ton thew impaired was received 10 conf
dence, and could not have been secured
without promise of secrecy. 1t was pub
lished for the benefit OF the public. Broker
Chapman will contend that if he lets peo-
pie know what Senators buy stock Of him
at a time when. the market value of the
stock may be influenced by legislation,
Senators who want to make such pur-
chases will give their orders to some other
firm. He certainly will not admit that
buying and selling stock through brOk-
er's Office is in itself a transaction to be

THE OAKLAND WATER FRONT

Mr.. II. d. Hougham of Oakland ex-
planned in Saturdays CALL how the
Southern Pacific Company proposes to get
around the Chicago waterfront decision.
One of its devices is to throw blanket
mortgage over their local railroads, assum-
Ing that the mortgage will have the effect
to extend their franchises. Another is to
supersede statute law with common law
in cases where the latter is more favor
able to their claims than the former. Mr..
Hougham traces the peculiar action Of
the recent convention in respect to judicial
nominations to a determination On the
part of the Southern Pacific Company to
have friends on the Supreme Bench.
II Oakland is to be deprived of its water
front 1t will make little difference TO the
people Of Alameda County whether it is
done under comm on law or under statute
law. 1t will make little difference whether
the result is brought about through a sery-
iceable Supreme Court or corrupt Legls-
iature. The vital point in the Chicago
decision was that neither State, county
Dor municipal officials could sign away a
peoples heritage. The propositionis that
the first dozen or the first hundred indi-
viduals who may squat upon site for a
great com numerical city cannot invest them
selves with power 10 sell the site to a
speculator. This doctrine is so sound that
II courts depart from it they will be
brought back to it. However dim NAV
have been the vision of the first settlers
OF Oakland. and however willing they
may have been to sell their heritage for
mess OF pottage, the people now living in
Oakland know the value of their watar
front If by any twist or turn the Supreme
Court of the United States should re-
verse itself, or If the Supreme Court of
California should evade the force of the
Chicago decision. the higher law that de-
clares the right of the people of any land
to the approach to tidewater will in the
end prevail An eminent Chief Justice of
the United States Supreme Court once

"FACTS ABOUT PULLMAN"

Under this caption the Chicago Times
prints the following:
The report of the committee appointed bv the
American Railway Union convention to iuyes-
tigate the grievances Of the Pullman strikers
concluslvely demonstrates the justice of the
strike and proves every charge Of wage-cuttInp
and rent-grinding made against George M.
Pullman by the unhappy inhabitants of his
"modeP town. Beginning with the relations
OF the employees of the big car factory to the
Pullman Land Company the report recites
tale of wrongs, previously told in The columns
of the Times. which would alone account for
the striking" of every Pullman tenant.
The Times subjects the report to a care
full analysis and finds that in different de-
partments of construction wages have been
reduced from AZ per cent to 571a per cent.
10 respect to painters a comparison is made
with the same trade in Chicago, showing
that the Pullman painters receive % cents
an hour while in Chicago the union rate is
30 cents an hour. Taking seven depart
ments of construction as basis of compar-
ison 1t is found that SO OF is PAID this year
against ST. "a in 1885, While this rednc-
ton is being enforced the Pullman stock
OF S3O, OOO,OO0 paid last year dividends at
the rate of 9h Der cent. There appears to
be no advantage in the way of residence
In Pullman's town. Water which the
company buys from the city at a rate of s
cents thousand gallons is sold to tenants at
handsome profit. The company buys gas
at 70 cents per thousand feet and sells it
at 50 25 per thousand feet. Rents were
raised during the Worlds Fair ana the
company has forgotten TO reduce them. In
general way the Pullman Company have
proved close students of the methods OF

The Bows Festival in japan.

The great event of May, in Japan, IS
the celebration on the fifth day Of the
month Of the boys festival 1t is
called Nobori-ro-sekku, festival Of
flags, or ShoDy-no-sekku, festival Of
reeds. Before the door Of every abode
which has been blessed by the birth Of
boys during the past seven years, rises
q tall bamboo pole, from the top OF
which are flung to the breeze gigantic
carp-koe-nsde Of paper o. woven
stufs in brilliant colors, one Tor every
son. This particular fish is chosen for
a symbol because it sWims stoutly
against stream, and even up rapids,
leaping cascades to the higher waters
This implies that the boys in like man
ner must be sturdy and indomitable,
stemming courageously the stormy
currents Of life's stream. Flags also
are raised before the houses, bearing
pictures of the Chinese mythical hero
Shoki, as an example of strength and
bravery. Weapons, armor and pic
lures of heroes and horses are chosen
for the decoration of the toAonoma,
the slightly raised platform which is
the place of honor in every living
room.
The flower held in highest favor for
this festival is the iris; but kind Of
early chrysanthemum, and particular
variety Of bamboo, called moso-chiku,
are also used. Bundles of reeds and
mugwort are fastened to the projecting
roofs of the houses on this day
Demorest.
