OUR COMMERCIAL CLIMATE.

We boast, with reason, of our climate, but
have not usually made our claim inclusive
enough. We have looked at the subject
too much from the agricultural and too
little from the commercial point of view.
Eastern advices report that losses of life
and property along the coast and off shore
this winter have been unprecedented. The
case IS bad enough during any season.
From November to April the Atlantic
coast is dashed by storms, bound by ice
and strewed with wrecks Navigation is
perilous and often impossible; sailing
vessels become almost anmanageable from
the ice formed on their rigging. The
bitter cold and storms drive from the sea
all but the hardest men and the stoutest
ships. There is five months of almost lost
time in all coastwise transportation. On
the great lakes the case is even worse.
We have some rough weather in winter
on the coast of California, but seldom of a.
character to affect navigation to any serious
extent. The temperature is moderate; no
binding snowstorms confuse the mariner;
no wintry weather chills his blood; no
hand of ice grasps his good ship. If a gale
comes it is usually a southeaster, blowing
off shore, and with plenty of sea room
instead of land under his lee he can heave
to or scud at his discretion and let the
storm blow itself out. With stanch ship
he has little TO fear. The list of vessels
lost on the coast in our winter gales usually
consists of lot of old-time and weather
worn craft that would not think of putting
to sea on the Atlantic for six months of

MISSING THE POINT.

The EUening Post, while commencing the
course of the CALL in denouncing the ex-
trayagance of the Legislature, takes excep-
ton to the means we have suggested
for preventing it. This attitude is per-
Missile of course, and would have been
all right, if the Post had not been so taken
up with the objections to the remedy as to
overlook the evil to be remedied. The Post
must not drop the cards while making the
shuttle. The issue is to put stop to the
plundering and looting OF the State treas
ury and to protect the taxpayers from the
rapacity OF tax-eaters and pap-suckers. If
the remedy we propose is not good, will the
Post suggest better one?
We will support any means that can
effect the desired result of guarding the
property of the people from waste, misuse,
spoliation and robbery. We appeal to
every official in charge of public money to
do what he can to prevent the wrongful
use of that money and to refuse to pay it
out until compelled to do so by the courts.
If that course does not suit the Post it
should offer something better. Nothing
can be gained by wrangling about remedies
while the wrong is being done. The bust
ness at hand is to stop the wrong, or at
least put our laws to the test and see If
they are capable of checking legislative
larceny by any means whatever.

INCORPORATED.

| The San Francisco and San Joaquin Rail-
road has been formally incorporated. The
articles were filed in the City Hall yester-
| day with the names of Claus Spreckels, w.
| F. Whittier, Charles Holbrook, John T.
| DOYLE and E. f. Preston IS incorporators.
Thus far everything has gone well with
| the. enterprise. 1t has been taken up by
| the right men, advanced in the right way,
carried forward vigorously, and has won for
itself the confidence as well as the hopes of
the people of San Francisco and the State.
The time has now come when the great
mass of citizens of ordinary means can
come forward and assist in the work. 1t
has been the intention of the promoters
from the start to make it peoples rail-
road built largely by popular subscription,
with all the stock owned in California
Had they desired to construct road for
their own advantage. they could readily
have done so. Mr.. Spreckels alone could
have furnished capital enough to put the
road on a solid footing, and then sold
bonds for money sufficient to complete it,
if he had desired to make it speculation
for individual gain. That, however, was
not his aim nor was it that of his col
leagues. They have recognized that the
greater benefits of the road will be for San
Francisco and the State, and they have
therefore devised its construction on
plan that, by enabling large number of
people to become interested in it as stock
holders, would prevent it from falling
under the control of clique or entering
into pool with the Southern Pacific.
From this time forth until the full
amount of money needed has been raised,
small subscribers should come to the
front. The investment Is about as safe as
any that can be found. The interest of
every stakeholder will be carefully guarded.
There is no chance for corporation with
in the corporation to enrich its members
by looting the larger corporation and vast
ing the money of the stockholders. This
is a strictly business undertaking and as
such will be to small stockholders as
profitable in proportion as it is to larger
ones.
1t is now fairly certain that the era of
depression is about over and that business
will soon revive The return of the Re-
publican party to power in Congress has
restored public confidence in the manage
ment of our political affairs. The currency
question will soon be settled. A means of
raising the needed revenues of the country
will be provided. Business therefore will
no longer be disturbed by political fears,
and being thus free to make use of its ex-
panding energies, by the time the new road
is ready for work, will be at the full tide.
Everything in short assures good profits
for the enterprise and every energy should
be bent toward fastening its completion.

HOW LABORERs MAY RETURN
New Instructions in Regard to Chinese
Certificates.

New Instructions in Regard to Chinese
Certificates.
Collector of the Port Wise has issued the
following instructions in regard to the
issuance of certificates to Chinese laborers
who wish to visit China and return:
Any Chinese laborer who has resided and
registered in the United States as required by
law, and who has a lawful wife, child or parent
in this country, or property here to the value
OF $1,000, or debts of like amount due him
pending settlement, is entitled on departure
from the United States to receive certificate
emitting him to return. In order to obtain
such certificate he will be required to file in
this Office within thirty days prior to depart
ure: First, his certificate of registration from
the Collector of Internal Revenue in the dis
trlct in which he was registered, and second, q
statement in writing fully describing himself
by name, age, height, local residence, occupa-
ton, color of eyes and complexion, and giving
true and full description OF his family or
property or debts as aforesaid, accompanied by
three photographs
Upon receipt of this statement, with accom-
panying photographs, the Chinese Bureau will
institute proper Inquiries and verify the truth
thereof, and II the statement is found to be
correct, 1T will be certified under official seal
by the Collector or his deputy. Said statement
will thereupon be placed on the files OF the
office accompanied by photograph. and, upon
application, the certificate prescribed in de-
partment circular of December %, 1894, will
be prepared, and ticket, upon which shall be

MANUFACTURING INTERESTS.

The proposed convention of California
manufacturers is timely. Opportunity for
manufacturing is written all over California
from north to south and from east to west
1t may almost be said that the name of the
State is but another word for opportunity
Development of the manufacturing indus
try has been tardy because of the distance
from the great financial centers and the
center OF population, but it has, none the
less, made good progress. In the older
East have been manufactured the goods
which supplied the newer West. People
move quickly to less crowded and more
promising fields OF industry; manufacto-
ries move slowly, usually spreading from
centers to outlying districts.
Again, agriculture and horticulture are
not nearly so profitable in the East as they
are here and energy and capital have there
largely been directed toward the produc-
ton of raw material and its manufacture
into wooden and leather goods. In Cali
fornia capital and labor have been devoted
to the development of agriculture and hor-
ticulture, because they offered the quickest
returns. The State has now reached
point, however, where the amount ex-
pended for the importation of goods is so
great that the establishment of factories
becomes necessity.
The facilities for manufacturing here
presented are almost without equal. Some
points in the East have the raw material
and transportation facilities; Others have
cheap fuel and are situated on navigabIe
rivers, and a few have both river and rail
communication. There are few localities
in tho ct hawavar r-bara +baea
features are combined. At many points
upon the bay of San Francisco, upon the
other hand. as far inland as Antioch, at
the head of deep-water navigation, there
are sites where may be obtained an abund-
ance of pure water, cheap fuel, good build
ing sites and river and rail communication.
In addition thereto is a land-loeked
harbor, where deep-water vessels may be
loaded direct from the cars without cost
for rehandling. Such an aggregation of
favoring circumstances seldom exist else
where. Not only are these features within
themselves of pronounced Importance but
| their value is enhanced by the magnitude
OF our agricultural and horticultural in
terests.
There are other features of scarcely less
importance, such as the presence of build
ing material and the opportunities for the
development and utilization of water
power. These and other facilities which
will present themselves to the inquiring
mind are worthy of the attention of
citizens and capitalists alike, and the
coming convention will serve a good pur-
pose if it emphasizes the need of diver
sifed industry, inclines our people to give
more of their patronage to the products
of home factories, and draws the attention
of Eastern manufacturers to California as
place to establish new works.

THE CLOSE OF CONGRESS-.

The people will watch the closing week
of the present Congress with no expecta-
ton of good, with some dread of possible
mischief, and with a feeling of uncertainty
which will breathe itself away in a long
sigh of relief when the last day of its term
closes and the fifty-third Congress stands
adjourned sine die.
Never before in our history has a legisla-
tive body entered upon its work under bet
ter auspices or closed it so disastrously for
itself and for the country. Never before
has Napoleon's saying "a thunder is as
bad as crime, been so completely dem
onstrated in politics; never has a so-called
representative assembly been SO little rep
resentative of the people, never has party
majority been so incompetent or so di-
vided, never have Congressional leaders so
bitterly denounced the administration of
their own party, and never has President
been called upon to pass in public such
severe censure upon Congressional ma
iority, whether of his own party or not.
The Democratic party came into power
in this Congress by an overwhelming ma
jority. It was pledged to reforms of all
kinds from civil service to the tariff. 1t
found the country prosperous, business
fourishing, industry active and the reve-
nues equal to liberal expenditures of the
Government for public improvements. 1t
began at once to tinker with every
thing. Instead of reforming it deformed
1t enacted futile tariff that was neither
for protection nor free trade nor for reve-
nue., and in enacting it involved the Senate
in scandals that would have been a dis
grace to the country, if the country had
notrepudiated them. From this beginning
it proceeded from blunder to blunder and
from scandal to scandal until it became so
hopelessly factious and fractions in its i'm
becility that it could no longer do anything
at all, and so has continued all winter the
butt of the jibes and jeers and mockery
of the American people.
Having now but another week to live
it might still redeem itself somewhat by
passing the Nicaragua canal bill, but it will
never do it. 1t is more likely in its last
spasm of life to pass the Reilly funding
bill, which it once rejected. Hopeless of
doing good, there is still possibility it
may do mischief. 1t is not to be wondered
at, therefore, that the people will watch the
proceedings this week with close attention,
and perhaps every paper in the country,
Democratic as well as Republican, will be
tempted to display in impressive head lines
on March 5, THANK God. Congress has

UNDERWRITERS ARE UNEASY.
They Will Hold Meeting to Discuss the
BOYCOTT Rule.

Copies of the injunction papers granted
the Continental Insurance Company by
the United States Circuit Court were
served on all insurance managers known
to be members OF the Board of Fire Under
writers.
The compact men did not believe that
Manager Duval of the Continental would
sue them to stop the boycott instituted
against non-union companies in a mon
intercourse" rule which was adopted at
Monterey.
They were surprised last Friday when
the compact received notification that
suit would be instituted against their
organization. The non-intercourse rule
was suspended and large part OF yester-
day was spent in discussing the situation
informally in different offices.
As a result of this discussion the execu-
tive committee of the compact decided to
call a special meeting to be held this morn
ing in the assembly hall of the Underwrit-
ers' Association.
The question that will then be consid-
cred is, what shall be. done with the in
junction suit, and probably, how can the
compact continue with a "non-inter-
course" clause, provided the court should
declare it illegal?

oREGoN's NEW SENATOR.

george w. Mcbride, Oregon's newly elected
Senator, will be an interesting character to
national politicians for the next few months.
The TACT that he has never before been known
IN national politics adds the glamour OF mystery
to his sudden appearance in the upper house
OF the nations legislature.
This mystery will quicKlv be eispelled, how
ever, Tor Mr. Mcbride is man of such absolute
sincerity that his principles will be clearly
outhned SO soon as the occasion for action
arrives.
Mr.. McBride's election demonstrates that
personal influence has not been altogether
eliminated from American politics, for the
successful man in this case had neither
wealth nor powerful corporations to make
his fight. That he was an ayowed
candidate was well known even in San Fran
cisco, though the fact was not made public in
the newspapers, nor were any votes cast for
