In THE DIM FUTURE.

A contemporary says that 1.-THE greatest
need of the American continent is the
Nicaragua canal" The truth of this prop
osition has been admitted for years. But
nothing has been done and nothing can be
done toward its construction under the
Cleveland administration. The transcon-
tinental railroad companies have too
strong hold upon the present administra-
ton to warrant hope of any favora BILE
legislation until after the 4th of March,
1897. What, then, is 10 be done? Shall
we wait three years to get rid of Cleve-
landism and six years more TO do the work
in? Would it not be better for California
to keep the ocean route open and con-
struct system of local roads that will en-
able San Francisco to reach consumers at
the cost Of servicep The Nicaragua canal
will be built some time In the dim future.
1t will be commenced when the transcon-
tnental railroads have lost their power to
shape national legislation. It's construc-
tion NAV be made an issue in 1896, but the
lines of battle are n0tyet defined. Neither
of the two national parties is at present
prepared TO incur the hostility of the COM
bined railroad interests of the country.

that it viii be impossible TO win against

DANGEROUS WORK.

The Non-Partsan County COMMITTEES
has offered a reward of 500 for the arrest
and conviction of each person voting ille-
gally or attempting to vote illegally. There
is also reward offered by the State for
each person guilty of violating the election
laws. The Non-Partisan committee s
offer extends to persons who may pur-
chase votes and to persons falsely can

falsely. These offers of reward will tend
to discourage the crowd of suffers who
are known to be on the roll. When the
suffer appears to cast his ballot he will be

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD DEBT.

The Sacramento Bee estimates the
Company would have to pay the Govern
ment each year under the provision of the
Reilly funding bill at $685. 900. The Bee
thinks the stockholders would naturally
want dividends and allows an extra million
for that purpose. The burden of debt
would then come within $50, 900 Of 7.00O,-
600. Every dollar of this would be paid,
MIA freights and fares. In other words,
California would be called upon to pay a
debt due by the Southern Pacific TO the
Government. The only business way to
deal with the railroad debt is to foreclos 9
the mortgage when default is made in
payment The United States can stand
some loss of money better than the loss of
prestige which would result from becom-
ing the passive victim of deliberate and
colossal fraud. When the earnings of the
Central Pacific were diverted into the con-
struction Of the Southern Pacific Railroad
the purpose of defrauding the Government
was foreshadowed. Consequently THE
CALL does not agree with the Bee that
mo collection of the unpaid debt of the
road can be made from the private
fortunes of these stockholders" The
definite penalty provided for in the event
of default in payment of principal or in
terest when due does not deoar the Gov
ernmen. from collecting money fraudu
lently distracted from the Legitimate
revenue of the road.

A BAD BREAK.

The Southern Pacific Company made a
great If not fatal mistake in putting its
political manager ia the chair of Repub-
lican mass-meeting in Alameda on Satur-
day night. This movement is equivalent
10 an open declaration that the Southern
Pacific Company is in charge Of the Re-
publican party in Alameda County. 1t is
probable that the company considered the
battle in that county as good as won and
thought no time should be lost in taking
charge Of the effects. Hilborn refused to
speak with the Southern Pacific manager
In the chair. but Sen0tOr Perkins did not
seem to see any significance IN the selec-
ton. But the Southern Pacific Company
made hundreds of votes against Itself by
the iGdiscretiOn and did no coed to Eng
lish.

AN IRREPREssIBLE CONFLICT.
NOVEMBER, 1894.

For a second time Judge Wallace and
the political agents of the Southern Pa
cifc Company have come in conflict. Four
years ago Judge Wallace caused the or
ganization of a Grand Jury under the
elisor process, whose investigations Into
corrupt legislation became so searching
that the Supreme Court was invoked to
stop proceedings The second nfiict
took place in Judge Walace's court
room on Monday afternoon. An ex-
animation Of some alleged suffers re-
vealed the fact that the Baldwin Hotel
is nest of suffers. Men are registered
from that hotel who do not live there.
They are distributed around in all sorts Of
places. They are known to the man
ayers, though Clerk Harden burg On the
witness-stand did his best to screen them.
They are evidently part of the army of
suffers whom Dan Burns and his asso-
ciate, Buckley. have caused to be regis
tered. That Burns and Buckley are act
ing under instructions from the South
ern Pacific Offices is matter upon
WHICH no NSI-lulUInbu pSISOu 6ubST-
tains a doubt. The stufing business
has proceeded to the point at which it be-
comes necessary to strike at the head.
There will be no let up until the head is
found Judge Wallace has ordered two OF
the offenders TO prison. but this is only a
preliminary motion. The aim and purpo sc
of the men who have instigated this in
vestigaton are to follow the chain OF
evidence until it reaches the souI &C.
The suffers are tools in the hand:
of the political bosses. who in
turn are believed to be doing the
work the Southern Pacific Company deems
necessary to carry the election. Six thou
sand suffers or even half that number
might. should they succeed in voting, turr
the scale against the Non-Partisans. This
kind of work has been going on in thit
city for many years. Under one party o,
the other the voting register has beer
been done clumsily. as If under the belle
that the power behind the miserable go
betweens was invlncible. One Grand Jur,
fell to pieces under judicial decision tina
carried no conviction to the minds O
honest citizens. The present movement
will not be stopped so easily. The patienc
of the people is exhausted. The contemp
of law aud disregard of decency which
have marked the course of the bosses il
the present campaign exceed the limits o
endurance.

WHAT RETAINS TO BE DONE.

Before another number of THE CALL
Is issued the ntest at the polls will be
over. Nothing will then remain but 10
secure fair count But in the meantime
there are precautions to be observed and
things to be done. The first precaution is
for voters to make up their minds to vote
right. They must not allow themselves
to be influenced by party clap-trap or
misied by campaign lies. The issue has
been clearly defined. On one side are the
Southern Pacific, Burns and Buckley
masquerading under the guise of the Re-
publican and Democratic parties; on the
other good local government and the SUBJ
stantial interests of San Francisco, cham
pioned by the Non-Partisans. No partisan
political humbuggery should for moment
obscure the line between the two.
The next precantion is to look out for
roorbachs. The monopoly triple alliance
of the railroad and the two bosses have
begun the work of circulating campaign
lies for the purpose of beating this, that
or the other candidate whose election
threatens their supremacy. There Will be
rumors in the air and dodgers on the
streets. All the prejudices of race and
religion will be invoked by verbal written
voter be Influenced or deceived by any
such chicanery. The lie that is put out
too late to be contradicted bears its con-
domination on its face.
Having thus cleared their minds as to what
should be done our citizens should then go
to work. The first thing is to vote early and
vote the Non-Partisan ticket. Having done
that let them next see to it that no suffers
are permitted to neutraliZe their votes by
illegal ballots. Every suffers vote kills
that of one honest citizen. Let every man
who favors clean local government leave
his business and his pleasure for one legal
holiday and give his time to the city. Let
him help to make sure that neither fraud
nor violence be invoked to stuff or rob
the ballot-box.
After the vote Is cast and the polls are
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1894-11-06

closed there is still work to be done IN
watching the count and Seeihs that tn
ballots and tally lists are carefully car ed
lor and deposited. This must be largely
the work Of selected watchers, but the
moral weight attaching to general in
terest manifested by good citizens at large
In securing these results would be very
great. Let the bosses, the suffers, the re-
pealers. the ballot-box smashers, and the
tally-list forgers, know that the people
are up in arms against them and they
will 60 slow and sing small.

VOT e !

Every voter should vote. There is al.
ways a choice between parties and be-
tween candidates. In this municipal cleo
ton there is one clear-cutis
government by national parties or NUM-
cipaI government by non-partisanism.
Municipal government is admitted to be
the weak spot in representativ govern
ment. The cause of weakness is the fac
that municipal officers are elected on other
than municipal issues. There is ne
responsibility when national parties con.
troll municipal affairs. The local govern
mept may be corrupt and inefficient, but
popular national policy will keep it in

OUT OF POLITICS.

THE CALL has been asked how the
bosses can get their combine tickle: before
the voters The way is easy. The Police
and Fire departments are. as everybody
knows, out of politics; but there is no
politics in handing round tickets among
ones friends. The politics comes in when
the fireman or policeman works" for the
ticket he circulates. 1t is not supposed
that as long as Boss Burns is Police Com
missioner that body will be severe in their
Judgment of policemen who do little pol
itics on the sly. No one knows better
than policeman how to distribute tickets
where they will do the most good.

THE SAMPLE BALLOT.

1t probably is net necessary to remind
any considerable number of our readers
that the SAM lie ballot cannot be voted. 1t
is distributed among voters to enable them
to determine in advance the candidate for
each office that they may desire to vote for.
The voting numbers Of such candidates
may be taken into the booth to aid the
voter in selecting the names he wishes to
stamr. The numerals with which all are
familiar will be of material assistance to
voters who are imperfectly acquainted
with English names. If the voter keeps
cool he will find little difficulty in stamping
candidates from Mayor down.
