Bicycle riding is all the rage in San

Sundays particularly thousands of

the Golden Gate park and other parts
of the city where the roads are good.
The ladies wear bloomer costumes,
in all iDstances), while the gentlemen
wear knicker bockers and heavy
sweaters of various cOlors. They have
many ways of advertising the differ
ent makes of bicycles, but the most
novel to my mind was that to be seen
in Market street store. In the win
dow a young woman dressed in a
dainty, navy-blue, blOomer costume
sits all day on bicycle slowly work

(the majority young men) stand on
the sidewalk watching her and making
all kinds of remarks. 1t makes very

The following joint resolution was
introduced by Rep. Robertson :
"Whereas the system or land trans
fer and registry of deeds now in
vogue in this country is unsatisfac-
tory, and fails to accomplish the object
intended; and whereas the great un-
certainty in many of the titles to
land tends to hinder and obstruct the
development and progress cf the
country;
Be it resolved by the Senate and
House of Representatives that the
President of the Republic be requested
to appoint a com mission, consisting of
three suitable persons, to consider the
different systems of land transfer ex-
listing in other countries, and make
report thereon to the next session of
the Legislature, with such recon-
mendatiOns as to them shall seem
proper

Rep. Richards moved that Act be
taken up and considered section by
section. Replying to question the
member stated that the bill had been
read by title only in the Senate. The
Clerk explained that the bill had been
sent to the Senate. Action deferred.
A motion to adjourn by Rep. Ka-
mauoha brought Rep. Richards to his
feet. He saw no reason why the
House should adjourn; nothing was
being accomplished.
Rep. Kamauoha thought If the
House went along with work on bills
now before the Senate time would be
thrown away.
Rep. Rycroft moved Act 4, to Regu-
late the Currency, be considered sec
ton by section. Carried.
The bill passed second reading with

venience to residents in the country
districts.
The bill was ordered engrossed and
third reading set for Thursday.
Attorney General Smith stated it

named for the Council of State were

There was some speculation as to

derive from the confidence Of che nation

Public opinion has been led astray.

to say that may be new to him. Then
again, there is nothing like fair and
free discussion to lead men out of
error and into truth, and truth Is not
likely to suffer in such discussion.
We are far from regarding space as
wasted that may be given, in reason
able amount, to writers who differ
from our Popullst declaration Of
principles
There is just one other thought to
which we would allude IN this con-
nection. There are, unfortunately,
a few people who are SO narrow
minded that if they find little space
in a paper occupied by something
contrary to their views, or something
that is not particularly interesting to
them, they kick, or stop their paper.
Such people forget that paper can
not be made for one man alone or
one class Of men. What may be DIS
tasteful to one man may possess
special interest to another; and in
the great variety of matter that gets
into any good paper during the year
certainly every subscriber ought to
find enough to meet his approval
that he can afford to skip what he
does not like and still get the worth
of his money. Let us all cultivate q
broad and liberal spirit in these

southwest Missouri from Kansas, and /
find that land can be bought very cheap
and on easy terms. The soil here 10 not
az good IS most Kansas people have
bsen used 10, but produces we'll almost
every year, 90 there is not 30 much dam
ger to be encountered from hot winds
and dFouth. My plan Is to form Q co.
operative colony, buy as much Of this
timbered land 90 we can pay for, and
commence business by clearing 1t and
building houses, stables, mill-in fact,
anything that we need for our comfort.
The land can be made to more than sup
ply US with all that is necessary in 8
very short time, and we could DO free
from the mortgage fsnd and landlord.
One hundred honest, industrious men,
who are not entirely ignorant OF the
teschinRs Of socialism, can, with 500
acres of this timber land, build for them
selves bright, happy homes in a short
time. OF course there must be no dronsB
IN an association Of this kind, bat each
mau must be willing to doff hia cost
and 90 to work. Five hundred acres OF
such land as I speak Of can be got Tor
$1,000 or less.

A dispatch from Columbus, o., on
Jan. Is, said: "The officials Of the United
Mine Workers are being criticised for
not sooner notifying the public OF Che
dsstitution among the miners in the
Hooking vsllay and Sunday Creek valley
districts. So far as known they have
not attempted to do anything for th0
benefit of the sufferers. The dsstitution
in the Sunday Creek valley completely
overshRdows that in tho Hooking valley

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF RAIL
ROADS.

The chief solicitude of those who
have most to say against public own
ership of railroads, telegrsphs and
other public utilities relates to the
immense public patronage that
would be involved in their operation.
The late report of the interstate com.
merce commission urges this objeC-
tion, and Justice Brewer, In his sd-
dress to the bar association in this
city on the 18th inst. is very en-
phstic upon this point. He said:
II the expenditure of 500 millions year
in carrying on the functions Of government
to-day draws toths national capital horde
Of lobbyists, eager to share in the distribu-
tion Of such sum, will the peril Of a pure
administration be diminished if to these ex-
penditures be added the 1000 millions and
more necessary for the operation Of the
railroads aloneP II the tens Of thousands
of government employees are to-day no in
considerable factor in political strife, Of
how much greater significance will that
factor become, when those tens Of thou
sands are increased By the hundreds Of
thousands now in the railway servicep
What, in view Of such an enormous pres
sure, would be the chance Of civil service
reform?
This is the most absurd and carp
ing species of sophistry. 1t pro-
Ceeds upon the theory, in the start,
that the spoils system of distribution
of public patronage must necessarily
continue, and that, therefore, a
vastly-increased army of partisan
railroad employees will become q
source of increased danger of cor
ruption to the public service. One
Of the fundamental principles in
volved in the demand for public own
ership Of railroads is that the tenure
of position in the service shall be
regulated by the strictest rules in
which partisan politics shall be in no
way concerned. In the railway ser.
vice this is especially necessary 1t is
a kind Of service in which experience
Is essential, both to efficiency and
safety, and in which changes should

A FRENCH EPISODE.

On January Is, Nj. CaSimir- -Perier,

The advocate., 1895-01-23

There are some very important
facts in connection with the pro-
posed public ownership Of railroads
and other public utilities that such
men as Justice Brewer fail to mem
tion, and these are:
Q Under such a system every
employe would, from personal inter
est, become the strictest kind of q
civil service reformer. He would
favor the most stringent regulations
to preUent changes for political rea-
sons, and to take the whole question
of railroad management entirely out
of the domain of partisan politics.
~ The powerful lobbles of which
Justice Brewer speaks are not kept
in Washington to influence the dis.
tribution Of public patronage. There
is a vast amount of personal sollcita-
tion for such patronage, it is true,
and much of it is dispensed, under
the present system, to influence leg
islatlon; but the powerful lobbies are
maintained by corporations for the
purpose Of influencing Legislation in
their interest. 1t is q notorious fact
that all the evils of which Justice
Brewer speaks belong to the present
system, and it is somewhat remark
able that they constitute no objection
in his mind to this system, but they
do constitute an insuperable objeC-
tion to q system the basic principle
of which is that they shall be entirely
left behind with the system to which
they belong.
The power of corporations to inhu-
ence elections by means Of their
patronage, to influence Legislation in
their interest and to facilitate
schemes Of public plunder under the
existing system, are subjects that
Justice Brewer forgets to mention.
He forgets to mention that the hun
dreds OF thousands of employees Of
corporations who would be factors in
political strife under public owner
ship and management, are nOaO fac.
tors in such strife, land that they now
vote, not as freemen, but too often as
so many cattle driven to the polls by
the masters upon whom they are de.
pendent for their daily bread.
Where lies the greater danger,
either to purity in government af-
fairs or to individual liberty-in the
exercise of the franchise by these
hundreds Of thousands of employees
under the dominion of corporate
power, or 10 their exercise Of the
same franchise as freemen, untrsm'
eled by corporate influences
Should the railway companies
themselves soon propose, as Labor
Commissioner Wright says they will
do, that the government shall take
the railroads and operate them and
pay to the stockholders a certain
fixed dividend upon their stocks,
