STREET-RAILWAY MATTERS.

The only interest which the public has
in the Supreme Court decision unfolding
the validity of the Market street Railway
bonds is that connected with the future
operations of the company in the improve
ment and extension OF its system. This
may prove to be very important matter.
In spite of the fact that the suit tying up
the bonds has compelled the company to
work on borrowed money it has done
prpdigious amount of work and the infer
ence is that the very large capital which
it may now command will cause it TO
advance with even more energetic strides
than hitherto
1t is not unlikely that one of Che first de-
velopments of the decision in question will
be stupendous fight between the Market
street consolidation and the independent
com panies which it has been unable to
absorb. These are the San Mateo electric
line, which has a monopoly of the sub.
urban cemetery traffic; the Sutter-street
system, which does heavy local business
to three unimportant terminals, but which
cannot reach any important outside point
except by arrangement with connecting
lines; the Union-street line, which has a
moderate cable business between the Pre-
sidio and Montgomery street. with a
horsecar extension to the ferry; the Cali
fornia-street system, which, with its Hyde
street feeder, has only one important out
side terminal, Central avenue, from which
point westward it must divide its traffic
with the Market-street company; the
Sutro electric line, which has very i'm
portant terminal, the Cliff House and
baths, but which has to divide with the
Sutter-street line on business from down.
town.
Thus it is seen that the Market-street
Company is the only one that has an I'M
interrupted through system between all
the important termini in the City. These
are the ferries. the Cliff House, the park,
the Mission, the large steamer docks, the
Townsend-street and Yalencia-street sta
tons, the Potrero, North Beach and the

WE'LL DONE, EXAMINER"

THE CALL will subscribe 5000 and the
Examiner will subscribe $1,000 toward
defraving the cost of holding the National
Republican Convention in San Francisco.
The Examiner announced yesterday that
it would send a check for the last named
sum 10 the Republican State Central Gem
mittee as soon as that body has satisfactory
assurance it can raise 100000 needed to
meet the offer reported to have been made
by Pittsburg.
The offer of the Examiner is highly
gratifying to US. 1t is what we expected
of our generous and enterprising /contem-
porary. Last February, when THE CALL
began to urge united and earnest effort to
bring the next National Republican Con-
vention to this City, it offered to assist in
defraying the preliminary expenses of the
undertaking and to contribute $4,000 toward
the cost of the convention itself, if it were
held here. We said then, that Californians,
regardless of party, would assist in making
the enterprise successful. Tie Examiner S
offer is fulfllment of our words. The
great organ of Pacific Coast Democracy.
speaks for that party. 1t follows The
CALLS offer of $4,000 with the offer of $1,000.
Certainly here is cause for congratulation.
Ever since the Nth of last February,
when we first proposed to the Republicans
of the State and the people generally the
task OF bringing the next National Con-
vaptioD Of 1oarrx7 70 n 10 have
been steadily and persistently working in
many ways to accomplish it. Coming as
it did to the public on Valentines day, the
proposition may have seemed at that time
continuous, arduous effort has already
brought it near to realization. Success is
apparently within reach. Many of the
strongest and ablest members of the
National Committee are on our side. If
Californians are true to themselves we
shall win. If all the progressive elements
of the Pacific Coast work together, the
convention will be ours.
The Examiner says truly the holding of
the Republican Convention here is not so
much matter of politics affecting parties,
as of business affecting the State, and
indeed the Greater West. To obtain it
therefore, and to make it successful in
every respect, Is an object that may well
engage the energies and awaken the liber-
atty of men of all parties. 1t is time now
for prompt action. The ball has been
started. THE CALL offers $4,000, the Examiner
$1,000. Who will be next2

a RHYmEsrER's WONDER.
Were I railroad magnate

L
wonder how Ia feel,
With all the country fastened down
Beneath my bands of steel;
With hordes of politicians
Each bowling for his price,
And every one petitioning
To get bigger slice.
I'D stock my marble mansion
With wines OF vintage old,
And sip the blood or Gallias grapes
From goblets made Of gold;
I'd run the great elections,
And those who framed the laws
Should study how to fool the land
With measures fecked with flaws.
I'd borrow from the people
AS much rs they would lend,
And when they asked their money back
I'd trick them in the end;
I'd cinch the toiling farmer,
And when his crops were big
I'd sock up rates a notch or two
And make the hayseed dig.
The markets base Of figuring
Should be my growing rates,
And every trade and traffic should
Lay tribute at my gates.
Ny sons should be instructed
To cinch as had cinched.
And frown upon complainants when
They kicked at being pinehed.
And had I any daughters
ia buy duke or king,
And give them each a title big
That only gold can bring.
Then, having all the country
Right underneath my heel,
Were railroad magnate,
wonder how I'd feel.
