SENSATIONAL JOURNALISM.

One of the disadvantages 10 a COM
rnunity resulting from that form of jour
nalism which delights in sensations rather
than in eommon-sense, is the evil repute
which such journalism gives to the COM
munity abroad. People at home can easily
detect the bugaboo under the scare head
and be satisfied OF its harmlessness, but
people in other parts of the country take
the scare in earnest and regard the COM
munity as the abiding place OF an awful
horror.
San Francisco is just now suffering as
the victim OF this kind of misrepresenta-
ton. The lack of funds TO pay certain
debts due to contractors for supplies has
been so exaggerated as to lead outsiders TO
believe that the treasury is empty, the City
bankrupt, all its institutions destitute and
the inmates Of its charitable asylums re-
duced TO starvation. As an outcome OF
this the Chicago Tribune recently pub
lished dispatch from this City under the
headlines: "San Francisco's Treasury is
Empty-Funds Exhausted Through Reck-
less Expenditures by Officials" The
reader of such dispatch would OF course
hardly think of coming to San Francisco
to make his home or to enter business, and
as consequence the City suffers.
The publication of these exaggerated
stories at the very time when we are max
ing such earnest efforts to build up the
City and to increase its population, has at
tracted the attention of the keen-eyed,
clear-headed editors of the interior, and
they have been commenting on it in their
usual incisive way. The Alameda Argus
in referring to the scare-head publication
said: This may be one way to increase
the population to half million, but it is
mighty queer way" And the Petaluma
Courier said: sit is truly refreshing to
know that such brilliant and brainy men
are at the head of our metropolitan dailies.
They should go and serve an apprentice
ship on some cross roads country weekly"
The sarcasm Of our neighbors has been
well directed. A few years experience in
provincial journalism would be OF great
advantage to some of our metropolitan
contemporaries who regard sensationalism
as OF more importance than due regard
for the welfare of the community. In this
particular case there was no good reason
for making a sensation at all. San Fran
cisco is not bankrupt, her treasury is not
empty, her institutions are not destitute,
and their inmates are in no danger of

RATES IN THE BALANCE,
Transcontinental Freight Schedules to
Be Discussed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

c. T. Smurr, general freight agent of the
Southern Pacific Company, went to Chicago
yesterday to attend session of the Inter
state Traffic Association which is to be
held in that city for the purpose of dis
cussing the long and short haul" across
the continent.
Denver merchants protested to the COM
mission that freight rates from common
Eastern points to the Pacific Coast were
less than to Denver The railway COM
panies explained that it was necessary 10
cut rates to coast points on account of com
petition by ships and steamers via the
isthmus and Cape Horn. To this the mid
land men made reply that if the railway
companies could afford to carry at a low
rate clear across the continent, they could
certainly deliver freight half wav for a
lower figure. This is the question now
9e1ore the commission, and further evil
dence will be taken at Chicago before q
decision is given.
