THE TIME FOR VIGILANCE.

There are only few days left of the time
within which the labors of the Legislature
under the law should cease. There are
large number of bills upon the files of both
houses for the passage of which the
strongest effort will be made by their
friends during the remaining days of the
session.
Some of these measures are doubtless
meritorious and should therefore not fail
of passage. Some others, though not
harmful, are either not necessary or not
urgent, and should be permitted to die the
natural death of unreported bills. The
rest, however are harmful and dangerous
in both purpose and effect, and as such
they should be looked out for with cease
less vigilance and large-sized club during
the rest of the session.
Every "cinch" bill, every proposed law
which hides political job beneath forms
OF legal verbiage. every CRANK output of
pseudo reformers, every scheme of the
great corporations for favoring legislation,
should be watched for INCREASINGLY and
promptly smitten every time it lifts its
head. If the State Legislature cannot find
time during its allotted term to enact good
laws, it owes at least duty to the people
to prevent the imposition of bad ones.
This duty can best be done by adjourn
ment as soon as the constitutional term
expires, and in the meantime by a re-
doubled vigilance against the enactment of
vicious laws

John F. Mackie of Philadelphia has the rare
distinction of having participated in the first
naval demonstration as well as the last of the
late rebellion. He entered the service on April
2, 1861, in New York, going on board the
United States frigate Savannah. On the Both
OF May following the crew of this vessel took
part in the destruction of the Norfolk Navy
yard, the Cumberland and Pawnee also aiding
in that memorable bombardment, which was
really the first naval action of the rebellion
His last active war duty was as marine officer
aboard the steam sloop Seminole, at the sur
render of Galveston, Texas. This was on Nav

was the last day on which the Federal ship fred

of this assertion people who have the average
opinion OF the clever French women may have
doubts, but of the Duchess beauty there is
only one opinion. She is remembered in New
York as lovely girl with perfect figure and
superb snowy shoulders.

ABOLISH IT.

The legislative committees which have
on hand the amendment to the constitu-
ton abolishing the Railroad Commission
should report upon the passage of the
measure favorably and at once. If there is
any one subject upon which public senti-
ment in California is educated and united
it is this of the absolute uselessness of the
Railroad Commission.
That this body has been proven by the
experience of fifteen years to be failure is
due, not so much to the personnel OF the
men who have composed or who now COM
pose it, as to the defects in the law itself
and to the condition of things in Cali
fornia. The repeated effort of parties to
procure an efficient commission has made
very plain the fact that under the present
terms of the constitution such result is
impossible. A commission, made up of
men selected haphazard in political
convention, chosen from districts whose
interests are apt to be hostile. bringing to
their office no experience at all in the de-
tails of railroad operation or finance, linn
tied in their powers by the vagueness of
the law which prescribes their duties, could
hardly be expected to be of much service
to the State And when to these impedi-
ments is added the fact that there has
been, up to this time, but one great rail
road in California, or at least in the larger
part of it, whose affairs were not regulated
by the ordinary laws of trade, the reason
for the inutilty of the Railroad Commits
sion becomes most clear.
For years the people of California have
known the worthlessness of this branch
of the body polite. For years they have
groaned under the expense of its main
tenance. For years they have urged sue
cessive Legislatures to rid them of this
incubus and expense. 1t is high time that
their demand should be heard and an
swered and that at least they be given the
opportunity to vote upon the subject of
the abolition of this useless and expensive
body. 1t requires no gift of second sight
to foresee how unanimous that vote would
be.
The only argument urged against the
abolition of the Railroad Commission is
that the result would be to throw the regu-
lation of freights and fares into the hands
of the Legislature. This argument is
worthless. The Legislature would have
nothing to do with the business of the rail-
roads unless some member introduced
boodling bill and such bills the people may
be relied upon to kill. Freights and fares
must be regulated on business principles
and by business practices-that, too, by

THE NEW REILLY BILL.

Under the proposed modification of the
Reilly refunding bill the .bond-aided roads
will pay the principal of the Government
debt in cash, refund the accrued interest
for fifty years at per cent, and extend the
first mortgage bonds by a reissue, payable
in installments through a period of fifty
years, with interest at per cent. It is re-
ported that this scheme finds favor with
many opponents of the original Reilly bill,
and is likely to pass both houses of Con-
gress.
1t is better proposition so far as the
Government is concerned, because it will
pay into the treasury the principal of the
second mortgage bonds. This is the bait
which promises to hook votes enough to
carry the measure.
For California, and the communities be-
tween San Francisco and Omaha, the
scheme is Just as bad as the original re-
funding bill. The companies will have to
borrow the money to pay the principal,
and the people tributary to the roads will
have to pay it, principal and interest.
Also, as heretofore, their business interests
will be held liable for the principal and
interest of the first mortgage bonds. The
stock of the two companies will retain its
existing status, and the present manage
ment will hold fast their control of the
properties, with all the maladministration
which that fact has involved in the past
and willimply for the future. The scheme
also shuts off the possibility of legal pro-
ceedings for the recovery of the millions
wrongfully diverted by the arrangements.
Congress has no moral right to saddle
this load upon long-suffering people. If
the Government has made a bargain that
proves to be unsatisfactory, it should
abide by the consequences, and close it UP
in a businesslike way by foreclosure, in
stead of making US pay the penalty of its
failure to enforce its rights and collect its
dues.

ATTORNEY GENERAL, ATTENTION

The extravaganza of the Legislature
must be checked. The money voted for
useless attaches must be saved from their
greed. The taxpayers must be protected.
Public money must be used for public pur-
poses, and not expended for the mainte-
nance of tax-shirkers. These truths are
self-evident. The people know them, and,
knowing them, demand their enforcement
In this iuncture, Mr.. Attorney General,
the people look to you. You are the
counsel for the State, and the State
means the people. 1t is for you
to take the legal steps necessary
to bring all this extravaganza to the
test of the courts. The right of the use
less attaches to draw their pay should be
disputed, and disputed at once. Prompt
action will meet public approval. 1t is
doubted whether the Legislature can
legally rob the people it was elected to
serve. Bring the question to the courts
and, if possible, save the people from the
greed of the blood-suckers of to-day, and
all danger of similar plundering in the
future

true. but it is greater benefit to the pub
lie. When a man looks in the CALL for
anything of legitimate daily information
we wish him to find it. Of course, as we
aim to publish a condensed and concise
newspaper we haven't much space to give
away. We cannot open general informa-
ton and statistical bureau, but we can pub
lish the train lists at any rate. Therefore
the readers of the CALL hereafter will get
full information in regard to trains with
out running all over town for it. We are
conducting live newspaper and our read
ers shall have the news, even if we do have
to sacrifice a little advertising to give 1t.

RAILWAY SCHEDULES.

The readers of the CALL viii find in the
commercial page this morning, and always
hereafter, a complete schedule and time
table of all railway trains to or from the
city. This is something of an innovation,
as the schedules of the various systems of
the Southern Pacific Company have not
been published for some time past; to the
great inconvenience no doubt of our
readers, who, like all Americans, have been
accustomed to look to their daily news
paper for information of this kind
On making inquiries at the Southern
Pacific Office to learn why their train
tables were not advertised in the CALL we
were informed that the cost of such adver-
tisements in the many newspapers of the
cities and towns along the railway line
was very large and that the company had
come to the conclusion that it could get on
well enough without advertising. This
statement was so evidently reasonable
that there was no disputing it. AS there
is but one line of railway between most
cities and as very few people like to walk,
travellers must necessarily hunt up
railway time table whenever they wish to
go anywhere, and the railroad itself of
course loses nothing by the time the
traveller spends in searching around for
the information he desires.
Recognizing the validity of the argu-
ment of economy to the railway, we are
none the less conscious that the reading
and business public expects information in
regard to the departure and arrival of
trains from a newspaper. Consequently
we propose to give it. 1t is an important
part of the daily life of the city and comes
under the legitimate head of news 1t is
of course to a certain extent advertising
matter, but if some newspapers have been
charging SO much that the railway COM
pany can no longer afford the advertising,
there is nothing left for us to do but to
give it free, gratis and for nothing.
The San Francisco and North Pacific,
the North Pacific Coast and the Allan
tic and Pacific Railroad have been
advertising their schedules regularly and
we have contracts with them for doing so.
These contracts are now annulled on the
plain principle of fair dealing. What we
do for the Southern Pacific Company we
will do for any and every railway that en-
tiers San Francisco. The contracts for pay
ment are therefore void from this date, but
the schedules of trains will continue to be
published as they have always been The
officers of the two companies we trust will
take notice of this without further informa-
ton from us.
This is benefit to the railroads it is
