START THE WORK.

The rumor factory of the Southern Pa
clfc is hard at work to defeat the San Joa-
quin Valley Railroad. 1t is working in
TWO ways. On the one hand, the prospect
OF new road up the valley to be built by
certain parties or interests that do not ap-
pear prominently in evidence is held up
to deter the business men of San Francisco
and the interior from going on with their
enterprise. This dodge is several weeks
old and has been mentioned before. Mean
time nothing has occurred to warrant the
belief that any such understanding is on
loot. Ii it were necessary 10 bring for
ward arguments to show that the alleged
road could not successfully compete with
the merchants line it would be very easy,
but 1T would also be a waste OF words.
Nothing Of the kind is projected, except
In the Imagination of Southern Pacific
rumor-mongers.
On the other hand, the matter of
Southern Pacific competition to crush
out the new enterprise is now being
industriOusy talked up. OF course
the inspiration of such talk comes from
the corner of Fourth and Townsend
streets. 1t is calculated possibly to brighten
some weakened persons who have seen
such tactics adopted in other cases. Now,
however, the conditions promise to be very
different. Competition in transportation
between San Francisco and the valley
will be a game that the new road can
play better than its rival. In the
first place it will be hampered by
no load of debt and watered stock. It
will have no Improbable territory about
its line. 1t will go 10 to the contest like an
athlete In the pink of condition. The
merchants of San Francisco and the
farmers OF the San Joaquin Valley could
put money in their pockets by running the
road al loss, so far as that item of rail-
reading is concerned, for the sake of the
reduction it will effect in the cost of tran
sacting their business. Indeed, as an assO-
ciating enterprise tor the benefit of the
public, backed by the sympathy of the
people and dedicated by the terms of its
organization to com petition. the position
of the new road will be impregnable
against any assault of the Southern Pacific
by means Of rate war. The monopoly
has plenty Of business sense when its own
interests'are at stake. Its managers will
quickly understand that there will be
nothing to gain in playing cut-throat
game under such conditions. If the valley
ROAD were sell-Out proposition they might
try it, but that will be out of the question.
The best answer to all such would-be dis
quieting rumors would be to go ahead
and start the work.

THAT PULLMAN PASS.

Eastern papers are full OF squibs reflect
ing upon the use of a Pullman pass by
Labor Commissioner Carroll ID. Wright
Some of the apers are kind enough to say
that while the acceptance of pass by Mr..
Wright was wrong he did not know that
it was wrong. II is assumed that Mr..
Wright fiattered himself that Mr.. Pullman
entertained such fOndness for INN that
no thought If return favOrs ever entered
the Pullman mind. In fact, Mr.. Wright is
regarded as kind of Max Pepper, who
admitted having paid money to officials 10
secure certain contract, with apparently
no IDEA that such payment was wrong.
There is, in fact, close relationship be-
tween the two cases. II Max Pepper feels
called to resign from the Democratic State
Central Committee Mr.. Wright should ask
himself seriously If self-respect does not
require him to follow Mr.. Popper's exam
pie. A man cannot hold the Office of La
Dor Commissioner and do his duty with
Pullman pass in his pocket.

ARMOR-PLATE FRAUDS.

We are glad to see so powerful paper
as the New York Herald taking up the
question of the punishment of the guilty
parties 10 the Carnegie armor-plate frauds.
The Herald truly says that the frauds did
not happen by accident. They were
planned and executed; they were contin-
ued fer many mouths; there must neces-
sarily have been good many men aware
Of what was going on. Still, when the dis
covery was made that certain plates were
defective. thus creating possibility that
all might be, the head of the company
called on President Cleveland and per-
suaded him TO remit half the fine the Navy
Department had imposed. Probably Mr..
Cleveland did not comprehend at the time
the extent or nature of The crime Carnegie
was nominally responsible for. At any
rate he did not seem to like to be hard on
so important man who Lad just begun to
comprehend the beauties of free trade !;
and so, instead of causing Carnegie 10 be
held to answer while further investiga-
tiOns were being made. he allowed Carne-
gle to name the sum be thought the Gov
eminent entitled 10 demand. One of the
worst acts Carnegie ever did was TO skip
Immediately across the Atlantic. The
cloud, no bigger than mans hand, had
just appeared in the sky. Probably Car
negie did not think the cloud would
amount to much, but he is cautions man
and be made haste TO get in out OF the rain.
Whether or not Carnegie had planned to
sink the new American navy will never be
known. There does not seem any ade-
quate motive for the crime. The repula-
ton of the company is ruined and it is not
conceivable how it can be restored. Car
negie. however. is safe in England and has
his millions with him. Even If his guilt
should be established it is not believed

HOW THE COUNTRY WAS SAVED.

A Washington correspondent tells how

the Government from being drawn into an
entangling alliance with Great Britain to
take possession of the treaty ports of
China. The British Minister urged that
British commerce, and consequently Chris
tian civilization, would bs served If the
so-called enlightened nations would unite
on policy which would prevent Japan
from blockading Chinese ports The dis
