FUEL FROM LOS ANGELES.

1t seems to be pretty well determined
fact that enterpr1sing capitalists of this
City are to organize company for the pur-
pose of running pipe line from the oil
wells of Los Angeles to San Pedro and
bringing the oil thence to San Francisco by
sea. to be used here as fuel. Experts whom
they have sent to examine the oil and the
probable extent of the natural store have
reported favorably on both propositions,
and now one of the capitalists has gone to
the scene for the purpose of making final
arrangements with the owners of the wells
1t will require time to determine what
will be the cost of the new fuel, but it GER
tainly will be much lower than that of
coal; and as the experts have reported that
it is an excellent Matchmaking fuel, the
difficulties under which we now labor on
the score of costly fuel will be greatly
modified. This has so direct bearing on
many matters now affecting the present
and future prosperity of the State that it
may be regarded as one of the most impor-
tant happenings of recent years.
The matter of the natural oil supply Of
California has received very inadequate at
tention in the past. Some promising wells
were OGNelOpeQ III the OdIlUd CTuZ MOuu-
tains, but the Standard Oil Company in
terfered and practically destroyed their
value. In addition to this, the charges of
discrimination practiced by the Southern
Pacific in favor of the Standard Oil concern
are believed to have been true. At the
same time, the indications with regard to
the Los Angeles oil are that it is far supe-
rior to the more northern oils for use as
fuel in a crude form, as it is remembered
that the experiments made by the South
ern Pacific. with petroleum as fuel for it's
engines and steamers were unsatisfactory.
1t will be a splendid thing for the State
if the San Francisco company succeed in
It's expectations to bring the Los Angeles
oil to this City. Los Angeles will receive
the benefit of the sales and San Francisco
that of cheaper fuel. While this is going
on the Corral Hollow road is being vigor-
ously pushed from Stockton to the new
coal mines, and as we are assured that
this coal can be laid down in San Francisco
for a small fraction of the cost of other
manufacturing Goals, a great reduction of
the present obstacles is promised from that
source.
With these encouraging happenings pro-
jected for the near future there need be no
worry about competition with Eastern
manufacturers. Cheap fuel and competi-
ton in transportation will work a greater
revolution in the prosperity of California
than can be imagined at present.

NO THIRD PARTY.

Without questioning the general wis
dom of the able men who have been in
trusted with the management of the cam
paign for the reconciliation of silver. it is
certain the proposal of the newly organ
lied American Bimetallic Union to call a
National convention next year to NOM
mate candidates for President and Vice
President is not wise, and will result in a
great political blunder if carried out.
Third parties have never been successful
in National election, and parties with
but single issue have rarely been sue
cessful under any eiroum stances. Politi-
cal parties are organized to carry on the
administration of the Government, and
this necessarily involves some determine
ton concerning every issue at stake.
These issues are numerous and complex.
They include everything from matters of
Governmental routine to new departures
and untried experiments in legislation. A
party to be successful in National con-
test must have behind it history that
gives confidence in its ability to conduct
the Government, and that is something
which in the very nature of it no newly
formed party pledged only to a single is
sue can have.
We have ever been strong advocates of
the reconciliation of silver. We believe
that return to bimetallism is perhaps the
most important single issue now before
the civilized world. Important as it is,
however, it is only one issue among many
in this county, and is not sufficiently
great to override all others in the mind of
any man who takes fairly comprehen-
sive view of National conditions. The
affairs of the Nation cannot be well man.
aged by men who agree only on one SUBJ
iect, but they could be thus administered
in the main by men who, agreeing in
everything else, differed from one another
on that subject only.
Whatever extreme silver men may think
or desire the general mass of citizens are
aware that the Nation must be governed
either by Republicans or Democrats. If
these two parties do not speak clearly in
their National conventions on the silver
question their candidates for Congress can
be made to do so in every district; and
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-20

long before the campaign is over it will be
easy to learn how each candidate for Presi-
dent would act in case Congress should
pass free silver BILL With this knowledge
the people can vote intelllgently on the
silver question without the need of third
party, and by so voting there would be
hope of success in electing a free silver
majority in Congress.
The proposed free silver party can have
no other effect than that of dividing the
silver forces and dissipating their strength
on election day. The goldbugs could de-
sire no better scheme for weakening their
opponents than that which the Bimetallic
Union itself proposes. If the silver lead
ers hope to win, as we trust they will, they
must avoid any such political blunder as a
third party. The Nation will be governed
in the future either by Republicans or by
Democrats, and those who vote for any
other party will simply waste vote that
more wisely directed might have been
potent in winning the very object they
desire to obtain.
