One of them is the recent agreement be-
tween the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern will reduce the business OF the
Canadian Pacific and divert it to these two
lines. Until recently the United States
transcontinental lines have been unable to
compete with the Canadian Pacific, by
reason of the great liberallty OF the Do
mlnlon Government to the line wnlcn
traverses its territory. The interstate COM
nlerce law, which is wise measure In
most particulars. has been largely lnstru-
mental In diyerting transconhnentalt trafilc
from the States to the Dominion. In ad-
dltlon to these matters the Canadian Gov
ernment is offering inducements to
settlers far superior to those that may be
mad from the United States. 1t gives GER
tain parts of the land free to settlers, and
II they have not means with which to buy
seed and farming implements it supplies
them to settlers on five years credit. AS
a result the Canadian Northwest is receiv-
ing large number of settlers from the
States, and as these are establishing homes
along the line of the Canadian Pacific our
roads are suffering under that dlsad-
vantage.
Until very recently the States roads, in
cluding the Southern Pacific, were unable
to devise scheme for offsetting the ad-
vantages which the Canadian Pacific en-
joys. They were compelled to sit idle and
see the Canadian Pacific, by means of a
line of steamers to the Orient, take nearly
the whole of the oriental trade away from
the States. San Francisco has suffered
most severely from this deplorable condi-
ton of affairs
Now, however, by means OF pooling
arrangement between the Great Northern
and the Northern Pacific, in which certain
Eastern connections working against the
Canadian Pacific are concerned, much of
this transcontinental traffic is to be taken
away from Canada. A fortunate circum-
stance is the fact that the settlement of
peace between China and Japan will at
once increase the foreign commerce of
those two countries. AS San Francisco is
the gateway to the United States from the
Orient, the prospect of an enlarged COM
merce which shall be of direct benefit to
California are brighter than they have ever
been In the history of the State.

KNOCKED OUT.

The income tax, which was mangied to
the verge of being unrecognizable by the
first decision of the Supreme Court, has
now by the same court been killed utterly.
The court declares i. to be unconstitutional,
null, void and of no effect. Thus are we
rid of scheme for establishing system
OF class taxation. plan to burden thrift
and industry with unjust exactions, an at
tempt to introduce an inquisitorial method
of raising revenues, an effort to make even
the folly of free trade seem wise by sub
stituting for customs duties another means
OF providing the Government with the
money needed to carry it on.
Chief Justice Fuller in delivering the
opinion of the court stated that the pre-
vlous decision was confined to the consid-
Grafton ofvalidity of the tax on an income
from real estate and on an income from
municipal bonds, but that in the present
case the court was able to broaden the field
OF inquiry and take the whole subject into
consideration. Thus the decision affects
the entire law and declares all of it equally
unconstitutional and void. Nothing, there
fore, remains of this supreme blunder of
the Democratic party except the unforget-
public mind as constant warning against
the folly of trusting such a party with
power.
The decision of the court will be accepted
by the people not only as a vindication of
the constitution but as a triumph of JUS
tice and equity. During the stress of war
for the preservation of the Union our peo-
pie submitted to this form of taxation as
they would have submitted to any other
burden to raise revenues to maintain the
army in the field. None the less, how
ever, was the tax felt even then to be un-
American in its methods and unjust in it's
results, and accordingly, as soon as the
condition of the treasury permitted, the
law was repealed. The attempt to re-
establish it in a time of profound peace
was one of the greatest follies that even
the Democratic party was ever guilty of,
and can only be understood on the basis of
the old saying, that "whom the gods
would destroy they first make mad"
One of the effects of the decision will be
to diminish the revenue of the Govern
ment. This will require an immediate
change in tie tariff, but, fortunately, that
work will fall to the hands of Republican
Congress, and we may look for such an
alteration as will not only increase the
revenues but afford more protection to our
industries than they now have. Thus the
overthrow of the income tax will be doubly
beneficial and the country will profit by it
in more ways than one.

AN EXAMPLE TO THE CITY,

The water carnival which Santa Cruz has
in preparation bears the promise of being
one of the most beautiful spectacles that
California has ever witnessed. 1t is emf
nently to the credit of this charming sea-
side city that, while it will employ all the
flowers, pageantry and tournaments that
might be devised for an inland city, it will,
in addition, avail itself of the advantages
for picturesque effects which the Pacific
Ocean and the San Lorenzo River offer.
We are to be shown, for instance, the
gathering of brave fleet before the city,
and furious bombardment of roses, capit-
ulation must follow, and then the invading
queen will take possession. Besides, what
charming effects are to be secured from the
decoration and illumination of the vessels
in the harbor land we may be sure that
there will be generous number on this
occasion). The wide, sheltered and placid
mouth of the San Lorenzo River is to be
utilized for aquatic sports and spectacular
effects.
Santa Cruz, in this entertainment, will
be setting an example for San Francisco.
The imagination is inadequate to conceive
the splendors of water carnival on the
bay of San Francisco. From all the emi-
nences OF the City the bay may be seen,
and in addition to that the possibilities of
Goat Island for illumination are alluring.
A carnival, which should include fireworks
and illuminations at night and races during
the daytime, with all the opportunities for
pleasure which would be offered by trips
on barges and boats during the progress of
the festival, could be made as brilliant as
the former carnivals of Venice
One interesting lesson taught San Fran
cisco by the festivals of Los Angeles, Santa
Barbara, Santa Rosa, Oakland, Healdsburg
and Santa Cruz is that the true metropoli-
tan spirit which has enabled Chicago to
achieve such wonderful tasks is more preya-
lent in these California cities than in the
metropolis. 1t is by working together
that the people of the interior cities have
been able to give their brilliant festivals,
This spirit has not yet been developed in
San Francisco, and hence we have not yet
acquired real metropolitanism. 1t is true
that the greater size and variety of the
population make the accomplishment of
such an undertaking more difficult, but it
is true also that the difficulties of organ
izlng the public spirit are immeasurably
increased by petty jealousies and narrow
view which discourage such leaders as
may offer themselves. The sneer is the
weapon and refuge of Incompetence, and
its use has been amply developed here.
There are abundant evidences, however.
that San Francisco is waking. Although
its neighbors OF the interior are holding
carnivals that put it to shame, it is turn
ing an earnest face to the more serious
lines upon which its salvation is to be

make great deal better profits and come out

"The railroed has arranged to put on fast
trains to put the fruit through to Chicago in
120 hours. This will be done as soon as there
is enough fruit moving to make up trains OF
ten cars or more and will be of great advantage
in getting the fruit to market IN good con-
dition."
Joseph Champion, who has long been one of
the owners of the Silver King in Arizona and
knows the mines all over the coast, has great
expectations of the future of gold-mining in
California. 'T understand that the bullion
coming in to the refneries here is 25 per cent
greater in amount than it was last year at this
tlme." he said yesterday. 81 have no doubt
that In very few years, with all the develop
ing there is being done in quartz-mining, the
output from our mines viii be doubled.
There is one district, that of the mountains
OF Trinity County, which has hardly been
opened up at all, where, am sure, there will
be developed some of the best mining in the
State. The ledges opened are all rich, both in
free gold and sulphurets There is not an acre
OF ground in Trinity County that will not pay
for washing. Take Oregon Gulcli Mountain.
The whole surface OF it is being worked off by

THE STANFORD ESTATE.
A Big Claim Against 1t Withdrawn by
III. w. Carpenter and Mrs. NJ.
H, williamson

In the matter of the estate of Leland
Stanford, the claim of Maria Hall William
son for $4,000 and interest and the claim
of Horace W. Carpenter for $350,O0O and
interest, both of which were allowed and
approved by the executors on May 2S 1894,
and afterward approved by the court,
have been ordered withdrawn.
These were claims on promissory notes
and are the last against the estate except
ing the Government claim of SIS, ,000. 900.
The consideration of the notes is not
made public in the transaction, but it is
evident that the obligation has merely
been transferred. The release was ordered
in accordance with the following tele-
grams.
