Officers should make distinctions. They have
no moral right to subject decent citizens to in
dignity and humiliation because they are
guilty of petty misdemeanors. Neither the

THE LEASE rs SETTLED.

As might have been expected from
sensible business men, who have the good
of the State at heart, the Harbor Commis.
sioners and the Board of Directors of the
San Joaquin Valley road have finally
agreed on the terms OF the China Basin
lease, and the execution of the instrument
nal in San Francisco.
The Commissioners and the Directors al
along have been under the controlling in.
fiuence of a desire to secure the same end
competition in transportation. The only
point OF difference between them has been
as to the method. The Commissioners
offered lease which prohibited transfer
Of the property to any other transportation
company having terminal in the City.
The Directors had already guarded thi s
point completely in the scheme for
pooling shares. They held that while
they hoped to be able to build the road
with California money. they might not
raise sufficient, and that in case of the
necessity for selling bonds abroad in order
that they might complete the work, the
restriction imposed by the Commissioners
would render such sale impossible, mas
much as mortgage TO secure bonds can
not be made on property which cannot be
transferred. The correctness OF this ground
has been at last accepted by the Com
missioners. On their part there was never
any fear that the present promoters OF the
road would prove unfaithful; it was only
the fact that the lease is to run fifty years,
and that the present owners will be sue
ceeded by others, that made the Commits
missioners hesitate. Realizing, however,
that the safeguards created by the Direc-
tors themselves are amply sufficient to Sc
cure the end which they desired, they have
taken the broader ground in the interest
OF the State.
The people have cause for rejoicing and
congratulations are due the Commission
ers. The Ieasehold will be at the best only
very small part OF the Valley Railroad s
property, even though the line should be
run no further than Bakersfield. But
China Basin would be an excellent ter
minal for an overland road, and if the
present undertaking do not lead TO this
in the end the indications are misleading.
Every mile of road added to the system
will be strengthening the freedom OF the
people from monopoly and will be an addi-
ton to the States protection against an
unfriendly ownership of the China Basin
lease.
AT the meeting yesterday Thomas Ma
gee, one of the Directors made a remark
that calls for special rejoicing. 1t was to
the effect that from Fresno to Bakersfield
two lines will be run, one including Han
ford and the other the eastern side OF the
valley. This is tangible indication that
the purpose of the company is to make a
comprehensive deliyerance of the State
from monopoly.

The new woman is just beginning 70 make
herself felt in the new music. In bygoue days
women distinguished themselves musically IN
a gentle, unobtrUsiye way by writing some OF
the sweetest melodies that have ever appealed
to the popular heart s'The Bluebells Of Scotland
was penned by a British Queen; Josephine's
daughter Hortense, Queen OF Holland, wrote
"Partant Pour Ia Syrie," and endless other in
stances might be given of women who have
touched the hearts OF the people with their
simple lays. The woman OF to-day VINO writes
music, however, does more than write little
tunes; she becomes professional composer,
and frequently sighs TO vie with men COM
posers in the making of symphonies and grand
operas. France, England and Italy are the
countries which to-day have most woman COM
posers. In England their woman composers,
such as Maude Valerie White and Hope Tenn
pie, have not met with much permanent sue
cess outside the composition OF songs, but In
France women such Augusta Holmes stop at
musical barrier. Augustus symphonies,
though marked by too much ambition, bear
marks of real talent, and her lyric drama,
"The Black Mountain" must have ability,
since il was accepted and produced short
time ago at the Opera, in Paris. The critics
showed it little mercy because II was written
by woman-and the French woman is not
yet emancipated. In order TO prove TO the
people that ''The Black Mountain" was well
worth seeing The directors OF the opera, winch

formsnce Of 1t. This means that Miss Holmes
work was put forward art treat donated
by the state to the people. Such an honor in
the case of young composer was unprece-
dented in France. Hitherto gratis perform

such as Gounod's Faust or Thomas "Mignon."
