NO DEMoCRATIc PRIMARIES.

The Napoleonic action of the Demo-

stuffed beyond hope of publication. Upon
recommendation of the publication COM
mittee, therefore, the General Committee
decided to do the work that it had been
originally intended the primaries should
do. The ErGminer considers this Napo-
leOnic movement a Checkmate for Buck

ing between Mr.. Buckley and the General
Committee have never been publicly de-
fined Some of the members cf the COM
mittee are generally supposed to be
hostile to Dir. Buckley. We are not pre-
pared to say that this assumption of hos
tility is not genuine. But people not ad-
mtted to the secret councils Of the party
are at a loss to understand how Buckley
should take the machine out of the hands
of a committee that really desired 70 con-

There are people who view the action Of
the committee as a concession to the non

so many Republicans did in 1S92-break

did considerable non partisan talking, but
the Republicans did pretty much all the
voting. With Buckley at the head of the
party. many Democrats who talked in
1892 would talk again and vote as they
talked. This thing may have no basis in
fact. The committee may imagine that
such a movement as they have made will
overthrow a boss who. while nominally
out of politics. has taken possession of the
source of power. The specter which is
causing the two parties so much anxiety

THE PRESIDENTS SUGAR VIEWS

A Washington correspondent represents
the President as having advised specific
duties on sugar in place OF the al yalorem
system as edopted in the Senate amend
ment to the Wilson bill. The reasons at
tributed to Mr.. Cleveland do him honor.
He wants the people TO know precisely
how much they are taxed to protect the
sugar refneries. When the Mckinley act
was passed no one seemed to know what
rate of protection was necessary to keep
the business of refining in this country.
The half cent rate was adopted in the be-
lief that il gave the reiperies about the
rate of protection that was allowed other
industries. That the sugar refinery indus
try came properly under the classification
of industries that should be protected no
one but free-traders denied. Mr.. Cleve-
land has now cleared away the fog with
which the adoption of the ad valorem sys-
TEN amended the sugar schedule. Either
the Senate bill or the proposed 10 per
cent ad valorem on all grades would give
the refneries mUre projection than the
half cent q pound specific of the Nc

A. LEPER FOUND.
Fong Cow Sent to the
Pesthouse.
For Thirteen Years He Has Lived
Over a Meat Market in
Chinatown.

While TWO Internal Revenue inspectors
were looking through lOdging-house at
735 jackson street Friday night for con.
traband opium they were startled by the
discovery or Chinese suffering from a
malignant type of leprosy. The Health
Department was notified and yesterday
the leper, who gave the name of Fong
Cow, was sent TO the Pesthouse
MIR. Cow was not a beautiful sight to
look upon as he sat in an express wagon at
the new City Hall waiting while the clerks
INSIDE were making out papers which
would entltle him to admission to the
PeSthouse. His eyes were as dull and
luSterless as the eyes of the Goldfish of
commerce when on exhibition at grocery
stores. and there was a general air OF de-
spondency about him. His lips aud ears
were swollen to more than twice their
natural size, while his fingers seemed
ready 10 drop off with the slightest jar Of
the wagon.
Another feature of the case that will
undoubtedly prove interesting to those
VINO Duy their meat In Chinatown is the
TACT that the leper lived over butcher
shop. For thirteen years, by his own
admission, he had lived in the same
Stu1fy little room. and all the while he had
been sufferer from the loathsome
disease. LII is strange that he remained so
long undiscovered. for the physicians say
IL Is one OF the worst cases of leprOsy that
has been discovered in this city for years.
Fong Cow is 80 years old. When he first
came from the Kingdom of Flowers he
settled at Portland, where he remained
Inree years. He then removed 10 San
francisco, leprosy and all, and has since
ln1lcted This city with his presence.

REACHING OUT.

The Stockton Independent is doubtful
if Government ownership of railroads
would help San Francisco merchants as
much as they seem to think it will. Says
the Independent:
They want cheaper rates from the East to
that city and cheaper rates thence to the inte-
ror, but do not want cheaper rates from the
East To interior points. In short, they want
the railroads to be operated in their interest,
and that is not the way the Government does
business.
The water route gives San Francisco
cheaper rates from the East than any rail-
road can possibly give. This route cannot
be closed up, and the present indication
are that for years to come it will be run in
the interests of this city. It is clearly for
the interests of the Panama Railroad Com
| pany TO make rates that will attract the
bulk of the -perishable goods passing
from Atlantic to Pacific ports. What San
Francisco needs now is low rates from
tideWater to the interior. The construc-
ton of such a system must be carried on
by private hands. They will be local rail
roads and will not fall under Government
control for many years, if ever.
There are two principal reasons why San
Francisco fayOrs foreclosure of the Gov
ernmen's mortgage on the Central Pacfic
Railroad First, an exactiOn of payment
from a wealthy and powerful but insOvent
debtor will set a good example. 1t will
show the people that the Government is
more powerful than any CORPORA ton it has
created. 1t will tend TO check the grow
ing power Of corporations ard discourage
the expenditure of large sums of money to
induce Congress 10 betray the people. An
other consideration which many people
would put forth is the fact that if TIE rail
road debt is funded California will have to
pay the debt as it becomes due. The Cali
fOrnia section is the only part of the South
ern Pacific system which is free from com
petition. Ii rates are raised over routes
reached by other roads it will be at the
expense of business. But over nearly all
of California the Southern Pacific has no
competitor. The water routes exist, but
connections with the interior are lacking.
Some years would necessarily elapse be-
fore these connections will be made, and
in the meantime the Southern Pacific
would be taxing California industries to
meet payments on its debt to the Govern
ment. Our interior friends should bear in
mind that the interests of the seaport city
and of interior cities are identical. If San
Francisco merchants can bring goods from
the East by water and distribute them
throughout the interior at lower cost than
similar goods can be brought West Dy the
railroad, the consumer in the interior is
benefited as we'll as the seaport merchant.
In time. if San Francisco is alive to her
own interests, we shall, through the cheap
ness of water communication, recover
much Of the territory both north and south
which for the past few years has been sup
piled by rail direct from Eastern cities

THE PROSPECT FOR WOOL.

The latest news from Washington is
that Cleveland and Wilson have about de-
cided to accept the Senate tariff bill in
preference to the Mckinley law. Whether
the Democrats of the House will take or
ders from them is to be decided in caucus.
This programme, if carried out, of course
means an insufficient measure Of protec-
ton to sugar growers, a larger protection
for the refners than under the present
law, very likely free coal for the benefit of
MI Whitney and the British Columbia
mines. although that is not yet quite set
tied, free wool, and a general cut on manu-
tactured articles and in the wages Of those
who make them.
One interest Of California in this scheme
is indicated by an interview with leading
wool-grower. Knowing whereof he speaks,
he declares that his industry is at very
low ebb in this State owing to the appre-
hension Of what our Democratic friends
are pleased to call, with a fine irony.

fiocks to a very low figure. and observes
that many other woOl-growers are doing
the same thing. In competition with for
eign wool he can see no profit in the busi-
The grower within easy reach CT cities
can make something by raising spring
lambs for the market, but most of the
sheep ranges are too remote to make that
resource available.
What is true Of California will be equally
true Of other sheep-raising States and Ter
ritories. Any one who is not deafened to
the voice of reason by the slogan of the
free-traders can easily foresee the result
the free admission of wool will result in
the serious injury, almost the destruction,
Of The wool-growiug industry in the United
States. But that does not mean cheaper
wool fer consumers in the long run. When
foreign growers have conquered our mar
ket and virtually crushed domestic CON-
petition the next thing in order will be to
put up the price. With the business in
their own hands they can DO that, nor can
the American industry respond effectively
10 that increase. It takes time TO grow
focks, and growers will be slow 10 risk
competition when prices can be put down
on them to order. If any one can see any
benefit TO either producers or consumers

LABOR AND CAPITAL.

A New York J0urna which, in 1894, had
some expensive experience with a national
labor ticket. has now reached the conclu-
sion that capital and labor are one. The
capitalist labOrs and the laborer has cap
ital. In a general sense. therefore, the
New York journal finds their interests
identical Their conditions are more
clearly discerned now than in 1884. Still,
there are some points upon which more
light Is needed. If we admit that sub
stanlial copartnership exists between cap
iIal and labor, each has still right to see
that division of profits is fair. For ex-
am pie, capital may justly claim a right to
interest on the money invested in profit
able enterprises. 1t stands the loss on
such as do not prove profitable, and is
Justly entitled to good profits on such as
turn out well. But when capital stealth
ily multiples itself and demands interest
on the fictitious part, as we'll as upon the
real, labor has right to complain. There
is no known process by which labor may
multiply itself. The labOrer is there to
speak for himself. and he cannot make
three or four dummies materiaize snfi-
ciently to draw wages.
There is another way by which capital

$4,000 a mile in stock and $4,000 mile

then made one OF the fixed expenses. The
rates Of wages established are subject to
the payment of this interest. Passenger
fare and freight rates are made high
enough 10 provide for all expenditures
and, Of course, are high in proportion to
the watered stock upon which interest has
to be paid. The labor of large section
of the country may in this way be taxed
