THE SAN JOAQUIN ROAD.

Matters have progressed so far that in
day or two the articles OF incorporation of
the new railroad may be filed and sub
scribers may be called upon to pay up 20
per cent of their subscriptions. The work
must then rest till a particular line of
construction has been traced by the COM
pany's engineers and rights OF way have
been secured.
The present plans contemplate a stock
issue of $6,OO0OO0, which would allow
something over $4,000 a mile for construc-
ton, including depots and other buildings.
With modern Improvements and at the
present price of steel and other materials, it
ought to be possible to build good railroad
on dead level for less than 5000 mile.
Still, money will be needed for depots,
depot grounds and other constructions.
and in some of the cities these may cost
a good deal. 1t is limited in case of
necessity small bonded issue might be
fioated, of say 100000 or $4,000, 600, to
meet such expenditures. With a back
log in the shape of 100000 of paid-up
stock such bonds could be sold if they paid
anything like per cent on the invest
ment.

defray the cost by the sale of bonds, the
purchasers of which got the stock as
bonus. Thus the stock was all water, and
the bonds were generally sold at price
which netted the buyer or 10 per cent on
his investment. That plan has fallen into
deserved desuetude. The subscribers to the
San Joaquin Railroad will pay dollar in
coin for every dollars worth of their stock.
Everybody VIII be on the ground floor. All
purchasers of stock will stand on the same
footing. This will constitute guarantee
for the economical construction of the
road; the money will be made to go as far
as money can. 1t will also have the effect
of inducing men to come forward who have
hitherto disbelieved in the reality of the
enterprise. There are many such. There
are land owners in the valley VINO
could easily subscribe as much money
as has been volunteered in San Francisco,
and it may be expected that they will come
forward. After the first section of the
road has been built it is likely that the
stock will command premium.

THE FERRY PIERS.

1t looks as though the inspection of the
piers which are to constitute the new ferry
foundation was going to be thorough. The
boring of small holes by Expert Donahoe
would have proved nothing. His drill
might have got into a mass of broken
rock and the core would have indicated
the presence of no cement Won Schmidts
plan of boring perpendicular holes six
inches in diameter from top to bottom of
the piers at intervals of ten feet would re-
veal the real construction of the piers, and
it is the only safe one to be followed. The
core of such holes would reveal the inside
of the piers just as thoroughly as if they
were pulled to pieces.
Passing over the objections made by
engineers to the infexible construction of
the piers in the event of earthquakes, it is
plain that the danger resulting from faulty
construction must arise either from too
sparing use of cement or from the use of
inferior cement. In this particular case
there is no question as to the quality of the
cement, and the only doubt is as to the
amount used. According to Colonel Won
Schmidt, one barrel of cement should
be used to every three barrels of rock and
sand. If less is put in the cohesion will be
imperfect. The six-inch cores will determine
whether these rules or either of them have
been neglected in the construction.
The Governor has appointed a new ex-
pert, Arthur Brown, on whose plans the
original ferry piers were sunk. He ought
to know how to build pier that will stand.

sealers in the season of 1894 was the largest
on record. Taken together the two official
documents show that the fur seal is being
exterminated by Canadian pelagic fishers,
who destroy it on the way to the rookeries.
1t would seem that the regulations of
the Bering Sea Commission for the gov
ernment of pelagic sealing should be
promptly revoked and that a new rule, or
international law, especially adapted to
Bering Sea, should be adopted by nations
interested in the preservation of the fur
seal. That commission found that the old
rule of international maritime law fixed
the sea boundary of territorial waters at
ten miles, or leagues, from the shore. 1t
amended the rule SO as to make the boun-
dairy twenty leagues, or sixty miles, from
low-water mark, holding that fishing out
side of that limit would be too uncertain
and unproductive to make any impression
on the herds. 1t seems that this reckoning
was defective. The Canadian seaiers have
killed so many seals in the open sea that
the herds on the islands have diminished
one-half in four years.
The only thing to be done appears to be
to repeal the international agreement of
1891, and to institute new covenant pro-
yiding that, for the intents and purposes of
sealing, the open sea of Bering is declared
to be a closed sea forever. This would
settle the matter, and it seems to be the
only way of saving the fur seal.

Clear Expressions in Regard to the
Divorce Question.
The Unitarian clergy in and around San
Francisco haye formed Ministerial Club.
At recent meeting at the Unitarian book
rooms in this city, Rev. Heratio Stebbins
presided and Revs. C. w. Wendte, G. B.
Allen, n. A. Boyd, George r. Dodson, L..
w. Sprague, Mrs. l.. f. sprague. Mrs. E.
T. Wilkes and William G. Eliot Jr. par

to send delegates to the Civic Federation
in the interests of city reform, and Messrs.
Andrew Hallidie Sheldon G. Kellogg and
Dorville Libby were appointed to represent
the Unitarians in this matter.
Arrangements were perfected to receive
Rev. Jenkin Lloyd-Jones OF Chicago, the
secretary of the recent Worlds Fair Parlia-
ment of Religions, who is to visit Califor-
MIA in March.
1t was decided to remove the Unitarian
headquarters and book room TO 800 Post

Union Club.
The following resolutions were adopted
as expressive OF Unitarian opinion:

Resoiued, That while the only real remedy lies
In the elevation of individual character and in
higher social ideals, TO be reached only by
moral and spiritual forces, yet there are abuses
which may be remedied by changes in the laws.
RESOLVED, That to limit the right of divorce to

gross and continued intemperance and the
like, are spiritual adulteries, and, in not few
cases, in the great misery entailed are worse
than the technical SIM that thus limiting di-
yorce he's been no restraint. In the States
where the law limits divorce to one cause only
there has been no decrease in their number and
the States with the severest laws are most toll

ResoLUed, That the law should protect mar
riage with more formality, raising the age OF
Independent competency to at least Is and 21
years. That a longer time should elapse be-
tween the application for and the granting of
a divorce, and actual domicile be required; !;
that great evils result from the short time al
lowed, in some States only three months resi-
denee being required.
ResOtUed, That a uniform divorce law is i'm
portant in order to make more difficult fraudu-
lent divorces, and to protect innocent COM
munities from the pernicious influence of resi-
dents who come for divorce.
ResolUed. That at least year should elapse
after decree OF divorce before it is made
absolute, and the defendant, through proof of
guilt or non-appearance, should be rendered
for longer period unmarriageable.

COUNTRY sOHooLTEACHERs.

In a communication concerning the bill
for pensioning schoolteachers, a correspon-
dent, who is herself teacher in a country
school, makes several points which are
worthy of the attention of all who have at
heart the true interests of our schools and
are capable of an intelligent comprehen-
sion, both of the Importance of the work of
public education and the value of the serv-
ices of those who devote themselves to it.
Our correspondent makes distinction
between the conditions which surround a
city teacher and those which are found in
the country districts. In the city there is
an opening for promotion. The faithful
teacher in any large community may look
forward to higher position and larger
salary, but in the rural districts there is
almost no prospect of advancement, even
for the most scientific and painstaking.
This being the case the conditions of the
teachers in the rural districts merit an at
tentive study. With but few exceptions
the highest salary paid in the country
schools is $50 month for eight months in
the year, making an annual salary of $3.50.
Board is s. a week. Books and newspapers
must be bought if the teacher would keep
up with the profession, and, in addition,
she must dress well. To make the matter
worse, the teacher is engaged only for
year or possibly for single term, and is
liable at the end of that time to lose the
position without finding another.
Our correspondent thinks that these facts
justify the proposed pension system, but
they have little bearing on that issue
Pensions would benefit only those who
have served twenty or twenty-five years,
while the true remedy for the evils COM
planned of would be an increase of salary
that would adequately repay the services
of every teacher at the time those services
were rendered whether it be the twentieth
year or the first. This remedy would be in
accordance with the American system of
paying the workman what he is worth and
not putting him off with starvation wages
on the European plan and consoling him
with the promise of small pension in his
old age.
If instead of seeking pensions the school
teachers of the State would begin cam
paign of education to instruct the people
upon the true value to the community Of
a teacher who is scientific and not merely
mechanical they would have the support
of many who are opposing the pension bill.
THE CALL certainly would heartily co-ope-
rate in any plan to advance the true well
fare of our schools. We would be glad to
see our teachers freed from political in
huence; we would be glad to see them paid
according to their merits; we know how
great is their service to society and the
State, and we, will do whatever we can to
educate the public mind in regard to the
debt it owes to them

SAVE THE FUR SEAL.

The official announcement in Secretary
Carlisle's recent communication to Con-
gress that the international agreement of
1891 ''has not resulted in saving the fur
seal herd on the Pribilof Islands from de-
struction," but that ''there has been a fall
ing off of at least one-half in the four past
seasons, indicating its speedy extermina-
ton if the present regulations endure" !"
sets at rest doubts which have been ex-
pressed in circles not accurately informed.
The Secretary's statement must be read by
the light of the last report of the Canadian
Collector of Customs at Victoria, B. c.,

INSURANCE MEN PROTEST.
An Instance Cited to Show That They
Have Cause.

Have Cause.
Insurance brokers and some managers
have raised a cry against the new insurance
compact because in section 6 of its rules
there is clause which they deem oppres-
sive.
This rule prohibits an agent from being
employed by any manager in the compact
after he has been dismissed either as de-
faulter or for 'cause." Under such pro-
vision it is possible for an unscrupulous
manager to dismiss one of his agents un-
der some pretense of wrong-doing and
then get all or nearly all the commission
on his business No other manager can
employ him, and the business he worked
up in years through near friends and
through his influence and personality is
completely lost to him, since it cannot be
transferred to another company.
A striking instance is quoted in the case
of Thomas Agnew, an agent of the London
and Lancashire Company. represented here
by Colonel Macdonald. Agnew is de-
barred by the new constitution from en-
ployment In another company because he
broke some rules, and therefore his busi-
ness remains with Colonel Macdonald
Agnew is reported to have insurance
policies from the Catholic diocese amount
ing to something like 81 100000 1t needs
little calculation to know what the COM
mission on this sum would be at 2 per
cent. 1t would be 10000, and Agnew is
forced to relinquish this sum, or rather
part OF it, for insurance managers admit
that his company gave back much of its
commissions as rebates on the rate set by
the old insurance compact.
Meantime the insurance managers are in
session at Monterey.
