AMONG the reasons for the almost un-

AMONG the reasons for the almost un~
interrupted success of Japan in prose-
cutting the present war with China is
the spirit of sacrifice and generosity
exhibited by her people. Voluntary
contributions amounting to almost $l5,.
D00, 900 have been received by the gova
ernment. The Bank OF the Nobility,
which has given 81 900, coo outright, has
also placed SIS ,00O. 900, interest free. at
the disposal of the authorities. The
noblemen and wealthy merchants have
baen most patriotic, and number OF
them have contributed more than $780,
600 each. Victory under such condi-
tions is comparatively easy and certain.
Public spirit in China with reference to
the unfortunate conflict presents mel
ancholy contrast. Unhappily for the
Chinese. the came spirit of Indifference
TO use no stronger word-seems to
pervade great part of the army and
navy. Admiral Ting himself had to re-
port that seven OF his ships remained
concealed during the fight on the Va.
loo; thet several officers had to be court.
martalled for cowardics. and that it
was deemed essential to behead Captain
Fong, who fed before the beginning of
the battle. 1t appears to be n hopeless
task for the Chinese to fight the demor~
alization in their forces.

a Gropndless Fsor
From the Sacramento Bee.

When the government owns the Central
Pacific railroad, the only debt it would incur
would be the balance due on the first mort
gage bonds of $15 900, now held largely
by the directors of the company The COM
pany's capitalization OF 1000 900 would be
wiped out and so would the principal and in
'terest due the government = $40. 0Oc, ,O0c. If
the ovsrnment takes the road, ii is certainly
not going to pay interest on the capitalization
of Il company which it has obiterste ted, nor in
terest on mortgages which it held itself and
which it cancelled by foreclosing on the roads.
This foundation OF "huge indebted
ness" therefore is not even the shifting sand ;

The Students Movement is now or

was started in Philadelphia FIVE years

lows: "To organize the students in the
universities and every great professional

suitable rooms for social and religious

SHERIFF CLINE seems to have made up
his mind that his successor in Office will
have to do soms powerful knocking at
the door before he will be let in. 1t is
almost certain that nothing but an Or
der from the courts will induce Mr..
Cline to give up the fleshpots of Egypt
and the emoluments OF the best paid
Office in the county. The grounds which
have induced the incumbent to take this
stand are stated by him to De desire to
protect his bondemen, but there are
people unchsritable enough who quote
the case of Ell Hammond to fortify their
opinion, that a desire to remain in a
comfortable nest is not entirely foreign
to Mr.. Cline's efforts to keep Mr.. Burr
out in the cold.

Govcrnor-.lect Budd said, at the Alumni
banquet, Saturday evening, that he favored
,abolishing some OF the state commissions and
placing their duties upon professors in the

suggestion. The STATE bureau OF labor sta

'of duties which are OF really scientific
character, but there has never been more
.than preteuse OF performing them. Now if
the bureau should be turned over to the uni

The people of Freeno county have
taken the initiative in movement that
may involve great possibilities fol

and operate the commerce of Central

in an effort to throw off the shackles oi

enterprise that has redeemed an empire

only hope of prosperity lies in coali-

which we can give them they offer

In' reply THE HERALD is publishing
the opinions OF our leading citizens.
The proposition OF union OF thta twelve
counties named for mutual profttis re-
ceiVed with enthusiasm. The details
must be arranged by personal conier-
ence. If the San Joaquin vallsy coun-
ties will Sand to Los Angeles delega-

garding the beat means OF accomplish

tion of the commerce of Ce ntrai and

The people of the southern tier OF San
Joaquin Valley counties have been
steadily starved to desperate ,n by the
extortion of the Southern Pacific Rail
road company. They have beensieola.ed
from the markets OF the world. A Chi
neae wall of exorbitant freight charges
has been built around them. they have
appealed ia vain to the merchants and
businesa men of San Francisco. They
now appeal to the enterprise, CONNER
cial energy snd the public spirit Of
Southern California.
Shall they appeal in vain in%this in
stancs?
They asked San Francisco to help
them to build competing railroad.
San Francisco made pretense of re.
spending by organizing what is known
as the Traffic association. 1t is now
suspected that the Southern Pacific has
laid it's paralyzing grip on the Traffic
association, and that this is why the
great metropolis of California cannot
raise the psltry sum of $3.50. 900 to se-
cure the trade, which, when fostered
and developed, must aggregate millions
to the city from which it ia distributed.
Now the question OF the hour is: viii
