THE "OALL" AND THE PEOPLE

1t would be a species of false modesty
for the CALL to ignore or put aside
lightly the compliment paid to it by
an association of workingmen on
Wednesday evening in commencing
its course toward their industry. In
fact, such concentrations are in the
highest degree gratifying to US, inasmuch
as they are evidences that the ambition of
the CALL to be the recognized champion of
Pacific Coast industries and Pacific Coast
men has found favor with the people and
won their approval. We take pleasure,
therefore. in returning thanks for tie
commentator and gladly make it the
occasion of reiterating our policy in this
regard.
As BELTS a metropolitan journal, the
CALL reaches out broadly for all the news
of the world. The events of European
capitals and of the remotest islands of the
sea, engage its attention and occupy it's
energies. Its staff includes correspondents
in every land and in almost every in
dustry. Only the rags and tatters of life
escape its notice or are dismissed from its
reports. In the midst of this vast work of
newsgathering, however, the fact is never
overlooked that the CALL is primarily a
Pacific Coast journal. 1t gathers the news
of the world, but it gathers it for Pacific
Coast readers, and in doing SO intends at
all times to give Pacific Coast interests
precedence over those of all the rest of the
earth.
Whatever power the CALL possesses as
an Independent newspaper, it intends to
use in advancing every industry of the
Great West. 1t will do this without par
TALLY and without price Whenever Pa
cific Coast men are banded together for
good purposes, the CALL will give them
every assistance in its power. Capitalists
who unite to construct competing rail-
road, manufacturers who meet to devise
means for expanding their industries,
fruit-growers who combine to market their
crops. or workingmen who associate for a
mutual benefit, will find in the CALL a
ready and sincere champion. We are
pleased, OF course, when this champion
ship is recognized and appreciated, and
look forward to the time when such recog-
milton and appreciation will be found all
over the Great West which we so Loyalty
serve.

hydraulic mining to go on under such re
strictions as might be found necessary
Congress did give the relief asked for by
passing the so-called Caminetti law, by
which all hydraulic mines may be worked
which impound their debris. The Califor
MIA Debris Commission, consisting of three
United States engineers, was appointed
and they have issued over one hundred
permits to mine by this process, and have
many more on hand.
The miners confessedly do not want tc
iniure the rivers or farming lands, and can
not if they wish. They must and do com
ply with the law. But the Anti-Debris
Association does not seem to be satisfied
with the Government commission which
itself helped to create, but seems to evince
desire to keep up the old controversy on
the old lines for some strange reason.
The people of this State, through its
Legislature and other representative bodies
have expressed the opinion that they want
this hydraulic mining industry to con
tlnue. The law restricts it within certain
specified limits, which prevent injury to
farms or navigable streams. There seems
to be no longer any use for an AntiDebris
Commission. The engineers of the Cali
fornia Debris Commission take it's place
and adjudicate all differences without
prejudice or favor. They permit such
mines to work as may work properly, and
prevent those which might do injury
closing any which break the law
The valley is sufficiently protected by the
law and by the commission appointed
under the law. The people of California
want to see the hydraulic mining industry
rehabilitated. 1t is unique and peculiar
to this State and the cheapest method OF
mining ever discovered.
California wants the gold from these
mines and wants it annually. There is
now no reason they should not be worked
They cannot be worked if they injure any
one, since only when the debris is i'm
pounded is license issued to mine.
No one wants the rivers injured but
these mines can no longer iniure them
Their operations are restricted. The CALI
believes in encouraging all industries and
this particular one, long under the ban
now being provided with special laws in
its interest, should be suffered to go on
without interference, except from the con-
stituted authorities.
In brief, the situation is this: Hydraulic
mining must be resumed. If it injuries
any one, the law should provide a redress
for the injured party. If no sufficient law
exists now, one must be enacted. All the
interests of California are entitled to fail
field and full protection. There is no ex-
ception to that rule. Farms and rivers are
entitled to it, and not less so are ou1
hydraulic mines.

POWER AND LEADERSHIP.

The address of o. E. Moore at the Manu-
facturers' Convention yesterday contained
within itself the suggestion of the solution
of nearly every problem that California
will have to solve in developing her manu-
featuring industries. These, of course, are
various; but they may be fairly divided
into the two classes of problems of power
and problems of leadership, both of which
must be solved before we can achieve any
great results.
The problems of power include those of
fuel and transportation. The problems of
leadership include the craftsmanship that
is to give protection to our industries and
the business energy and sagacity that is to
devise and carry out the means of making
them profitable. As possible solutions of
the problem of supplying power to drive
the wheels of machinery, it was pointed out
that the water power of the State trans
mitted in the form of electricity might be
made of use or that in the coal mines and
petroleum deposits there may be found an
abundant fuel for all our needs for years to
come.
The construction of the projected COM
peting road through the San Joaquin,
offers solution of the transportation prob
lem that only needs to be carried out to
the full extent of competing lines in every
section of the State, to rid our industries
of the incubus of oppressive freight rates.
Protection to our industries we may as
suredly look for as soon as Cleveland re-
tires from Office, and we may even hope
for some steps in that direction from the
next Congress, despite Cleveland's pres
ence in the White House. Certain it is
that some means will have to be devised
for raising an additional revenue, and the
Republican Congress will see to it that
every dollar of it will carry at least an in
cidental protection to the industries of the
country.
Perhaps the most important point of the
whole problem, however is that of leader
ship along industrial lines. Mr.. Moore
said:
remember when Pittsburg was less a manu-
featuring city than San Francisco is now. But
by indomitable energy they tunneled the
mountains for a railroad opened their coal
fields and made their business. What we need
is more of the pluck and enterprise OF Eastern
men. We have just now seen what co-opera-
ton will do in the new railroad, when man
of nerve steps to the front and asks the people
to follow. Who will take up the development
of our coal fields? Who will lead in great
electric-power plant?
That is indeed the question of the hour.
What capitalists will come forward for the
great work? The convention we trust
will find some answer to it before it adj
journS.

the State of Nebraska, we could then, wi tn an
annual rainfall of twenty inches, make abun-
dant and profitable crops. Until deep blowing
through subsoil tillage-beeomes universal
in that commonwealth, there will be, year in
and year out, no certainty OF remunerative
crops.
In those districts in California which are
not irrigated, deep and thorough cultiva-
ton is as essential for the retention of the
rain as for the beneficial chemical effects
of air and light. The trouble with operat-
ing such machine as Secretary Morton
suggests is that while the level lands of the
valleys would present no obstacles, the
rolling contour of the foothills might.
But whatever the difficulties, the inventive
genius of the age ought to be able to over
come them, and there is no reason why the
students of the University OF California
should not lend hand in the matter.
