THE RAILROAD DEBT.
Marysville Democrat.

If the Government is compelled to tax g
the Central Pacific road and operate it
the amount to he paid to the holders of
first mortgage bonds will exceed the sum
necessary Tor the construction and equip
age OF a new road. To meet this the
Government would be compelled TO issue
bonds to raise the necessary money, said
bonds to bear interest, which. in all, will
constitute heavy Indebtedness that the
people must pay.
In what way will the people of the
whole country be benefited, is a question
few have considered. We will admit that
there is possibility that transportation
rates might possibly be reduced a trac-
ton, when would benefit the people di-
rectly interested. But the benefit thus
derived would not be general, yet the
people in general would be taxed 10 pay
the bonded Indebtedness created in getting
possession of the road

THE ELECTION FUNDS.

The legal contest over the illegal cleo
ton in San Francisco is the topic upper
most in the minds of the people Just now,
and the democrats are getting anxious as
well as ill-tempered. We are Republican
and wanted to see MIR. Estee elected
Governor, but do not want to see him
Governor so long as there is shadow of
doubt as TO his having been elected. He
must not be made Governor by virtue of
mere technical defects, by throwing out
returns because unsigned or informal. II
anything at all is done toward making
him Governor it must be by virtue of a
recount of the ballots themselves, and. the
verdict OF the ballots must be the verdict
of the people of this State and be re-
spected. The tally sheets are not the best
evidence. The ballots are, and if there is
any question as to the integrity of the
tally sheets the ballots should be prompt.

controversy settled at once ana forever.

Members OF the new State Board of
Equalization are said to favor the aboli-
ton OF Section of Article XIII. of the
Constitution, which provides for the tax
alton of mortgages. Whether those Off
GERS favor the abolition or not many peo-
pie will hope to see the section wiped out.
1t was adopted in the hope that it would
reach the money-lenders and relieve bor-
rowers OF the burden of taxes on the
property mortgaged, but it has not had
that effect. 1t has, on the contrary, made
the burden of the borrower heavier by
making the rate of interest higher. Those
who loan money know how to compen-
safe themselves for any adverse legisla-
ton and simply demand and receive
enough to pay them for the burdens the
law imposes. Every person who has
borrowed money Oh mortgages during
the time that constitutional provision has
been in operation and while it was pend
ing has felt this Truth and knows that it
increases the difficulty as we'll as the ex-
pense OF borrowing, and that the bor-
rover pays the taxes and a little more to
cover the expenses of the lender. The
eliminating of the section from the Con-
stitution would remove an obstruction to
capital coming to California to be loaned
ana would thereby aid in developing the
resources of the State.

Court yesterday afternoon and obtained from

izing them TO examine the stock OF Charles

They said that the Customs authorities had
heard that q valuable collection Of pictures

as personal property. was on exhibition at the
store and that some OF the articles had been
offered for sale. Justice Mcmahon hesitated
about Issuing the warrant. as he said the case
belonged to . United States court. but as the
officers had q letter from Collector Kilbreth he
consented. and also detailed Court 0fficer Con-
molly to accompany them.
Upon reaching Schumann's store the officers
found that the goods in question were not on
exhibition. At first their request to see the
collection was refused. and when it was finally
granted 1t was decided to remove IL entire to

WASHINGTON. April 5.-The House Committee
on Pacific Railroads held q meeting to-day to
consider the Boatner resolution. A long and
rambling discussion Of matters relating to the
railroad company's debt to the United States
took place. but no definite action resulted
further than an agreement to hold another
meeting early next week. at which Gen. Wade
Ham ton. Com missioner Of Railroads. will be
heard. Ex-Gov. Hoadly OF Ohio. special
counsel for the Government, will also be
asked to attend. Mr.. Bostner's rssolu-
ton alleges negligence on the part OF
the Attorney General OF the United States
in prosecuting tho Governments claim

This resolution was introduced by Mr.. Boat
