ment of Mr.. Leeds the Traffic Association
has done good work for the City. The con-.
ditions that called it into being, however,
no longer exist. A wiser and more pro-
gressiye spirit prevails among the people.
Instead of railing against the Southern Pa
cific and making futile appeals to a useless
Railroad Commission. the people, headed.
by enterprising capitalists, have under
taken the work of constructing a compel
ing road, thereby putting an end to the
monopoly of transportation in this State,
not only for the present, but for all time. !:
In the ardor of the new enterprise. how
ever, it would be unjust to overlook the
work done by the members of the Traffic.
Association. They devised project for a.
competing road, have co-operated cordially
with that now under way, and subscribed
literally to its stock. They can look with.
qualification upon the work done in the
past, and see in the near future a realiza-
tionaof their plans for the emancipation
of the City from the evil effects of a mo-
nopoly In transporta tion. In all this work
Mr.. Leeds has taken prominent part, and
on his retirement from office may Justly be
cong graduated.
Whether the Traffic Association itself
will continue to exist much longer is prob.
lematical At the present time there seems
to be little need for.it. The main: duty of
our merchants and all business men at
this time is to- press forward the: San
joaquin road. When that is once in opera
ton traffic questions will be. settled in ac-
.cordance with the. law of competition, and
there will no longer be cause for complaint.
Let our merchants who can afford it sub
scribe to the stock of the new road, and let
all take the CALL pledge to give their bust.
ness to the road, and the future welfare of
the State will be. assured. -

MORE BANK LITIGATION.
p. f. Dundon Sues. the Pacific for Cred
itors, Claims Ana ounting to Over
~: $4,000, 600.

Z P. F.: Dundon, the >ex-Supervisor, is the
latest one to take up the legal fight of the
creditors and depositors of the Pacific.
Bank. He has filed two suits in the SUI
.perior Court, one against the officers and
the other against the stockholders of the
bank, each one asking for the recovery of
about s., 600, 900. This. amount, he claims,
|: is due to all the creditors and depositors
and incidentally, s2134 81 is due him.
In his complaint Dundon states that
for "a long time prior to the: suspension of
the bank, the officers neglected to super
wise its affairs, and gave practically no per-
sonal care to- the institution whatever;
they allowed the president and vice-presi-
dent. he. says. to run things Just as they
pleased these two officers were allowed to
use their own discretion in making loans,
investments and mortgages. and they
accepted as securities worthless notes and
bonds, and: other things which. are not
usually: accepted in bond dealings. The
officers were also allowed, he:says, to take
over ST. ZOO, 600 for their own use, and
no security for the same was. ever given.
AS a result of all this mismanagement he
says, the bank was forced to close its doors.
The bank is said in the complaint toowe
the 81 600, 600 TO about 1900 creditors and
depositors. Tt is asked that each officer of
the bank be made responsible for his share
of the amount, and then in supplemental
suit he makes the same plea regarding the
stockholders. The defendants in the suit
/ against the officers of the bank are r. II.

!. COMPLEX PROBLEMS.

The problem of our relations to Central
and to South American States will soon
have to be solved by the adoption of some
definite policy. Every year new eomplica-
tions arise. Most of those countries are
half lawless, and all of them are ex-
posed to incessant disturbances and fire.
quent revolutions. Their short-lived gov
ernments are continually involved in con-
troversies with some European power, and
in most cases the Europeans are the. ag-
grieved parties and have just causes of
complaint. -: :: -. :,
/ 1t is useless to expect these; complica-
tons to cease. On the contrary, they are
likely to increase from year to year. Ex-
panding commerce and industry, forced
forward by theresistless impulses of ever
improving machinery, are by constant
pressure bringing all parts of the world
into closer contact with one another. The
dominant races are impelled to go forward
in spite of themselves. American enter
prise leaps forward to Hawaii. British
commerce and German emigration go
everywhere. When darkest Africa has
been. invaded, can the indolent people of
Central and South America hope to-
escape? =: !.
: In the past we have met these complex:
problems by an easy appeal to the Monroe.
doctrine. That, however, is too indefinite
for the present and is wholly inadequate
for the future. The issue before us is not
the simple one of preventing European
powers from establishing dominion in
America, which confronted our fathers:
but the more complex one of how we can
make trade and commerce secure in: Cen.
traland South America and give the. ex-.
panding energies of civilized men. chance
to make those countries as :orderly and
prosperous as: the rest of the world. :. :. +:
+ SO far as Nicaragua is concerned, the
problem is neasy one. We are going to
construct a canal there: and. we. ought to
establish a. protectorate..: Our flag should
float there and our law should be enforced
there. We.should keep the peace in Mic
aragua and prevent any. complications
with foreign. powers by making ourselves
responsible for law and order and the pro-
lection OF. property in all the region round
about the great canal. In. Venezuela pre-
: walls different condition of affairs. It is
to our advantage to have that country de-
veloped and improved. We are not pre-
pared, however, to undertake it ourselves,
and the question that confronts us is
whether: we SHALL. under the: :circum-
stances, prevent Europeans from doing it,
and be ready to go toawar in defense of "a
people whowill neither work themselves
nor permit Others to work. :. =

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

Senator John Torrie, formerly the Bacigalupi
of Nevada, has left the BATTLEFRONT State and
located at San Francisco. He was controlling
power in politics in Nevada while he was there
and went to the Senate four consecutive terms.
His stronghold was the elimination of noxious
animals, and everybody who had q gopher
poison or a wildcat scalp bill to push, always
bowed low to Torrie, and 1t went through: He
formerly voted with the Democratic party, but
since Cleveland declared himself as opposed to
the white metal he has deserted the Democracy
and declared himself silver man for all time.
aThe Democrats only broke their neck when
they let that steal take place IN tne carson

"It is interesting to follow the thought OF

weigh the measure before him and then sign

last night. Mr. Pepper was sitting among group
of friends in the hotel corridor where local
politicians are wont to nightly gather and
talk shop. The qualities of the Chief Execu-
tive were up for discussion, and though there
were present men whose bills had collided
with the veto power, no nnkind cuts were
heard of him who handled the PEN.

UP-To-DATE IDEAS.

A horseman in Hartford, Conn, according to
the Courant of that city, has devised a sulky
that may accomplish wonders in the develop
ment Of speed in trotting horses. It'll q rather
odd-looking arrangement, but. its conception
is based upon several very important eonsid-
erations.. !.
In running against time the horse should
have as nearly absolute freedom of wind and
limb as possible besides being relieved of draft.
In other words he should be as nature designed
him, and the inventor OF this sulky claims that
irmore nearly accompnshes that end than any
device yet made known. :. +. y: Z:
The drivers seat is over the horses hips,
with the wheels a trihe in advance of the mid
die of the animals body. The central upright,
extending from the wheel to the seat, is ON q
slight incline, and must necessarily help propel
the wheels, thus reducing the draft to the mini
mum. A surcingle supports and steadies the
shafts, and straps running from it to the pock-
cts that inclose the ends of the shafts keep the
sulky from running faster than the horse:
