A SHAMEFUL CHARGE.

The Examiner yesterday made the extra
ordinary assertion that ''the bill to permit
a Harbof Commission controlled by G. P.
HuntingtSn to give away the entire water
front has Aassed both houses of the Legis-
lature." This is direct charge that the
Harbor Commission has sold out to G. P.
Huntington, and that it will exercise its
power for his benefit. 1t would be just as
easy to say that in opposing the only plan
that has been devised to relieve California
of the burden of railroad monopoly the
Examiner has sold out to G. P Huntington
and is exercising its power in his behalf.
The Examiners charge is an insult to the
Harbor Commissioners, an insult to Gov
ernor Budd and Mayor Sutro (who have
been added to the commission), an insult
to every member of the Legislature who
voted for the bill, an insult to the Governor
in case he should approve it, an insult to
the Traffic Association, an insult to the
public-spirited citizens who have sub
scribed their money to the valley road
and who have waited only for this bill in
order to proceed with the greatest work
ever undertaken in California. All opposi-
ton to this bill and all attempts to bull
dose the Governor out of his expressed
intention to sign it are blows aimed at the
only hope of relief that we have had the
opportunity of cherishing, are in effect di-
rectly in accord with the labors of the rail
road lobby at Sacramento, and strike at
the most vital matter that involves the
prosperity of the State
Men must be trusted in every business.
There is not the faintest shadow of right to
assume that the Harbor Commission will
turn over the entire water front or any part
OF it to the Southern Pacific. Against that
remote contingency, which is not deserv-
ing OF the smallest attention, and which
even the corruptest Harbor Commission
would not dare to precipitate, and which
could be stopped if it made the attempt, is
the absolute certainty that the bill will
relieve the State of the monopoly which
has hindered her progress, will develop
one of the richest and greatest valleys in
the world, and will insure the prosperity of
San Francisco. What grander benefits
might come from this beginning-what
outreachings may ensue that shall result
in a complete radiance of the monopoly's
hold on California-it is now impossible to
foresee; but it is clear that the crushing of
this opportunity for a rival road to plant
its feet in San Francisco would be the
blasting of every hope.

SAVE THE MEADOW LARK.

There is still time remaining in this ses-
sion for the Legislature to save the meadow
lark, and the time being ample the Legis-
lature should certainly have the wisdom
to profit by it. The fact that the bill for
the protection of song birds omits the
meadow lark has occasioned no little regret
to many people, and the report that the
omission was made purposely at the insti-
CATION of a Legislator who contemptu-
ously declared the meadow lark cannot
sing has infused the regret with a keen
sense of indignation.
We envy not the man whose ears can
hear no music in the voice of the meadow
lark, nor do we envy the heart OF the man
who desires to destroy him, whether he
can sing or not. Joyous in the morning
and cheerful all day is the meadow lark.
He is the blythe spirit of our fields and in
carnates beneath his feathers as much of
the choicest animation of California as
can be found in any visible form among us.
Can he sing? Well, if the Legislators
could legislate half as well as the meadow
lark can sing when he doesn't half try,
there would be such sweet concert of

Low PRICES FOR LUMBER.
LOCAL DEALERS ARE SUFFERING
BY REASON OF THE WILL
SON BILL.
CUTS MADE HERE BY BRITISH
COLUMBIAN SAWYERs HAVE
TO BE MET.

The lumber industry of California, WASH"
ington and Oregon has been severely Grip
pied by the operation of that portion OF the
Wilson bill which places lumber among
the articles of merchandise that may be
imported free of duty, and lumber manu-
facturers and dealers of the coast States,
and particularly OF this city, keenly realize
the disadvantage under which they labor
since the new law has been operative.
E. c. Herrick, president of the Pacific
Pine Lumber Company, yesterday gave
his opinion of the condition and outlook
for the trade in this city.
'"There is no wholesale dealer in Cali
fornia doing business at profit at present.
Hard times affected this branch or Dusl-
ness in the same proportion as other
branches, but up to the time OF the
passage of the obnoxious Wilson bill
fumbermen transacted their business at
fair profit. When the duty was taken OIL,
the British Columbia lumbermen, seeing
in this country better market, lost no
time in shipping immense quantities OF
lumber to S n Francisco, and the dealers
here, already well supplied with lumber
manufactured in this country at lar
greater cost than that imported from Brit
ish Columbia, had TO cut their prices TO
meet their competitors rather than allow
them to capture all the trade.
"In many instances the selling price of
fir and pine was thus lowered at least 10
per cent.
1.-THE British Americans can manufac-
ture lumber and lay it down in San Fran
cisco cheaper than we can. Their laborers,
Chinese and Japanese, are paid but 60
cents day. The original cost OF timber IS
virtually nothing, as they pay but 40 cents
an acre annual rental for their timber
lands They ship largely by foreign YES
sells, chiefly Norwegian.
son the other hand, the American man
ufacturer never pays his laborers less than
81 day and board. Our timber lands cost
from SIS to $40 an acre, and the cost Of
transportation is much higher than in the
British provinces.
"All things considered, we do not look
for an improvement until the Wilson bill
is repealed. We are trying to hold our
own, but are not striving to increase our
trade under the disastrously low prices"

INVESTIGATE NOW.

The enforced absence of Senator Buggy
Immediately after he had made direct
charges OF an attempt to bribe him was
most unfortunate, but the delay will in no.
wise serve as an adequate excuse for the
Senate to forego an investigation alto
gether. 1t has been determined, to hold
the investigation Saturday evening, the
last day of the session. This does not
seem earnest and genuine. Although
Senator Biggy's charge was the simple one
that Senator Dunn had promised him
$4,000 on behalf of the Southern Pacific
Company to vote as that company might
desire on any measure affecting its in
terests, and that Senator Dunn informed
him that other Senators had agreed to
"stand in" on that basis, it is absurd to
assume that a fair investigation would stop
at that, or could be made in the time
allotted. The subject has as many dark
ramifcations and is crowded with as many
skulls as the catacombs of Egypt.
Mr.. Nougues, who represents Senator
Buggy and the reform movement of San
Francisco, has advised the Senate that it
can appoint committee and arm it with
power to act after the adjournment of the
Senate. The plan is so simple that it
would be idle to say more of it than that it
fits the difficulty exactly. And it cannot
be doubted that the Senate contains a
number of self-respecting men who have
the courage and honesty to drag the whole
shameful truth to the light. This is a
duty which they owe as M UGH to the State
as to themselves. 1t is bad enough that
'cinch'' bills are invariably introduced in
r rIat,, il
ciously aimed at the pockets of rich cor
porations; it is vastly worse that no Legis-
lature adiourns without making an open
discovery of bribery. The moral senti-
ment of the State is emerging from the de-
graded condition which hitherto has made
these scandals fit subjects for cynical
pleasantly and enabled the men who
created them to remain respectable mem
bers of the community. Shame, tricked
out in cap and bells, may no longer pick
our pockets with the accustomed impunity
and then laugh us out of our anger.
So far as the information of the people is
concerned on the score of the men who
may have embraced the opportunity which
Senator Buggy declined, many will be able
to base a conclusive opinion on the record
of the rollcall Many, indeed, may be
satisfied with the disclosure made by the
vote in the Senate on the bill authorizing
the leasing of State lands to the San
Joaquin Valley Railroad. However that
may be, it is one thing to suspect a crime
and another to prove it; and it is one
thing to know that a crime has been COM
mitted and another to punish it. Taking
the case of the San Joaquin Valley road,
if there are any Senators who voted against
the bill from motives which did not regard
the interests of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, they will give evidence of the fact
by doing all in their power to make this
investigation thorough.

PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT.

The ST. James Gazette of London thus ex-
plains how Rudyard Kipling got his first name !:
Rudyard Lake, which has beaten the record
this winter of all English waters by covering
itself with two feet of solid ice, had previously
been immortaliZed in a very different fashion.
1t would be irreverent, and to some extent
incorrect, TO say that this mere is Rudyard
Kipling's godfather: but to it he certainly
owes his name. Nearly thirty pears ago John
Lockwood Kipling was strolling along the
| picturesque shore in the charming companion
| ship of Miss Alice Macdonald. when he plucked
up courage TO make there and then an offer OF
| his hand and heart. To commemorate that
| happy summer evenings walk the son OF their
! subsequent marriage was named Rudyard, and
| ne certainly has given the genus loci no cause
| for shame.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

EX-Judge Sconchin Maloney has at last.de-
clared himself on the subject of corporation
control While discussing the present politi-
cal status of the State of California he said to
small audience in the billiard-room of the
Palace yesterday evening:
''Not one of the assembled multitude congre-
gated within my range of vocal maneuvers
realizes the vast and imitIess Importance OF
the threatened invasion of corporation con-
troll within the jurisdiction of the munich
pality of the city of San Francisco. Neither
are you able to grasp, with any degree of COM
pleted comprehension, the difference between
the rights of the individual and the unjust,
soulless, designing desires OF the monopolies
which surround the entire population and
which will inevitably assume absolute and re-
lentless control over all the inhabitants OF the
State of California. No, you are not sufficiently
endowed with the essential gray matter to OBJ
serve the prime and indisputable cause of the
bondage you are compelled to accept and
which constitutes great portion of your daily
pabulum.

offer no explanation. The people know
very well how to gauge their motives and
Judge their conduct. Nor need any OF
those who have lied about the intentions
of the promoters of the road offer any ex-
cuses. There are some lies that are too
clearly the result of malice to be excused
on the ground OF a possible mistake. With
both of these sets of men-the Legislator
who wished to be bought and the malicious
liar-there is but one course to pursue.
The people must kill them politically and
nail them like dead skunks to the barn
door as a warning to others of their tribe
to keep off the premises.

MRS. OOsTBLLo's DEATH.
A Coroner's Jury Finds That She Was

A Coroner's Jury Finds That She Was
Not Poisoned by Her Husband.
The Coroner held an inquest last night
into the cause of the death of Mrs. Costello,
who died suddenly last Saturday morning
at TAT Brannan street. Her father, John
Lynch, accused her husband of having
poisoned her. Lynch and his daughter, a
sister of the deceased, testified that Costello
had often abused his wife and had threat
ened her life. A large number of witnesses
subpenaed at Lynch's request testified that
they knew nothing of the case.
DR.. George Rachel testified that Mrs.
Costello's death was caused by an internal
hemorrhage, and the analysis by Charles L.
Morgan, the chemist, showed that there was
no sign of poison in the stomach. The Jury
returned a verdict of death from natural
causes.
