CLEVELAND DISORBDITED.

Senator Mills has joined with Senator
Morgan in denouncing the Presidents s
financial policy, and thus two of the lead
ing Democrats in the Senate put them
selves on record as opponents of the chief
measures of the administration. Their
speeches are the more satisfactory to the
public because the recent utterances in the
Senate of Hill and Vest gave some reason
to fear that Democracy had surrendered
itself wholly to Clevelandism, and that
the party would make no vigorous oppo-
sitlon to the man of the White House
whether he demanded the retirement of
| green nbacks or the reelection of himself.
The timeliness of these declarations OF
independence on the part of leading Demo-
Gratis in Congress was curiously illustrated
by occurrences in the House of Represen-
Latives at the very time that Mills was
making his speech in the Senate. State
ments made daring the proceedings in the
! House led the venerable Galusha Grow
| to call attention to the increasing en-
! croachment OF the President upon the pre-
negatives of Congress in matters of legisla-
ton and to emphasize the urgent need at
! this time OF resenting anything like q
further toleration of such offenses.
Another blow at Clevelandism on the
same day as these speeches in Congress
came to tie public in the letter from ]. P
Morgan dissolving the syndicate which
had been formed to take the new bond
issue. In a recent open letter Cleveland
declared the new loan had been decided on
! by the administration without arrange
ments with any banker or set of bankers.
! Morgan had no desire to contradict this
statement, but he had TO explain to his
fellow bankers of the syndicate why he
had formed it. In his letter he says be
was invited to Washington for confer
ence and drew the conclusion that bonds
would be issued, though no negotiations
for loan were even suggested" The dis
| tinction thus made between confer
| ence " and a negotiation is altogether
too fine to disclose any real difference as a
matter OF business and, as consequence,
! Cleveland is shown by the bankers letter
not only to have conferred with one of the
money kings of the world before making
the loan, but also to have made a very dis
creditable attempt to deny it when charged
with it in debate in the Senate.
The speech of Mills in the Senate and
of Grow in the House, taken in connection
with the discredit thrown upon the ad-
mlnistration by the statements Of the
Morgan letter, present the third term
movement in very different light from
that in which it appeared just after the
! speeches of Vest and Hill a short time
ago. Then it seemed powerful enough to
subvert the Democracy but at present it
appears but a weak and futile scheme.
Many things may, of course, take place
before the convention meets, but none of
them are likely to increase the prestige OF
/ Cleveland. The movement to renominate
! him has reached its height, and from this
time forth we may look to see it weaken
and diminish steadily before an increasing
! opposition.

FOR RIVER IMPROVEMENT,

The convention of the River Improve
ment Association held in this City last
Wednesday presented a most gratifying
spectacle. Although there must have been
a large representation antagonistic to
hydraulic mining, and although there is
an intimate relation between that industry
and the opening of the rivers OF the State
to navigation, the ancient hostility was
wisely kept in the background, and the
convention confined itself to the grand
proposition OF securing Government recog-
milton Of the necessity for improving our
natural highways of commerce. 1t would
have been easy to weaken if not destroy
the fight which the convention has so
earnestly begun by demanding that all
undertakings to make the rivers navigable
should be made contingent on the sup
preston of hydraulic mining.
By taking this dignifed and patriotic
attitude, the convention has won the ad-
miration and sympathy of all classes.
There should be no niggardliness in sup
plying with funds the five delegates who
have been commissioned to represent our
interests at Washington. The simple fact
that the rivers, poor as their navigation
facilities are, are saving the State 50, 900, 600
annually by reason of the competition
which they offer to railway transportation,
is the foundation of powerful argument
which our representatives can make to
the National Legislature.
1t is an incredible shame that although
the richest sections of Northern and Cen
trail California might be able to do largely
without railroads, except overland lines,
we are content to give two thirds OF our
soil products to the maintenance of rail
road monopoly.
In view of the remarkable disclosures
which THE CALL has made concerning the
extent to which Government funds are ex-
pended at Oakland and Alameda for the
benefit of the railroad, it is alarming to re-
feet on the possible exercise of this power
at Washington to defeat all measures pro-
posed for the opening of our rivers. The
affair across the bay is most scandalous,
and deserves an investigation at the hands
OF Congress. 1t is conceivable that the
Government itself is not conniving in the
work of its local representatives, and that
it will correct these evils upon a proper
showing. This should be taken up at
once by our Representatives in Congress
and considered in connection with the
needs of the State in the matter of i'm
proving the rivers.

THE PRIMARY LAW.

The issue raised in the Supreme Court
by citizen of Sacramento with regard to
the primary election law of 1895 goes solely
to the point OF the question as to whether
the law is applicable to that county. That
is to say, as the law is expressly applicable
to counties of the first and second class,
the question is the classification under
which the county of Sacramento should
come. While there is grave uncertainty
concerning the rule of county classifica-
ton, and while this may possibly be re-
garded by the Supreme Court as suffi-
cient ground upon which to base a ques-
ton of the constitutionality of the law,
still the general rule of the court is to con-
fine itself strictly to the issue raised. 1t is
likely to result, therefore, that the ques-
tion of the constitutionalitv of the law will
not be considered.
As in any proceeding which might be
taken for testing the law with regard to its
applicability to San Francisco the cues
ton of classification cannot be raised, and
in view of considerable feeling of uneasi-
ness in this City that the law could not
stand test on its merits, it seems to be an
urgent duty on the part of San Francisco
TO secure an adjudication on the broad
ground OF consritutionalitv. The law has
so many peculiar and radical features as
to offer itself as a shining target for assault
by some interested person or political
party ready to accept the benefits or i'm.
pose the embarrassments resulting from q
successful attack upon 1t after its opera
tion has been carried so far that it would
be impossible to return to the plan which
the law supersedes.
The time left for making such a test is
very short, as the law requires that the
selection OF electors-the first act in put
ting the law in operation-must be made
during this month. Ii anything is to be
done 1t should be done Immediately, and
there would be no better time for securing
a decision than the date set by the SUI

THE HALE AND NoRcRoss.

A POINT THAT SEEMS NOT TO HAVE BEEN SUG-
GEsIED AT The ARGUMENT.
To the Editor Of the San Francisco CaU-SIR:
In the Hale and Norcross appeal, argued yes
terday in the Supreme Court, the vital ques-
tion decisive OF the case seems not to have been
suggested at the argument. So far as this ap-
peal is concerned the judgment must be re-
garded as final. 1t is not an interlocutory and
must be final judgment Neither the former
decision of the Supreme Court, ordering this
judgment, or the present proceedings of the
Superior Court, for the purpose OF obtaining
an additional judgment upon the issues sent
back by the Supreme Court to be retired, can
be considered on this appeal. The effect of
this final judgment on the proceedings, now
being had in the Superior Court, and
recovered thereon, can only come up
and be considered on the appeal
from such additional judgment. II this final
judgment. now on appeal, is a merger of the
entire suit, that matter can only be made de-
fense in the present proceedings in the Superior
Court and can be considered only By the Su-
preme Court the appeal from the additional
judgment that may be rendered in the Superior
Court on such proceedings. The Supreme
Court, on the latter appeal, can then deter
mine whether the former final judgment is
such merger, and whether the plaintiff by
taking such final judgment in the case is es-
topped from further proceedings in the case,
and from recovering an additional Judgment

PROMPTLY SUPPRESSED.

The cheerfulness with which julius A
Haste, Superintendent of State Dredgers
and Towboats, admitted the receipt of
commissions from those furnishing sup
plies for State use on the water front, and
the vigor and openness with which he de-
Tended the act as being Legitimate busi-
ness" were not more remarkable than the
promptness with which he was suppressed
when he began to make disclosures of sim
liar practices by other heads of depart
ments.
To an ordinary citizen not invested with
prescience by the wearing of an official
crown, this would have appeared to be
fine opportunity for the Harbor Commits
sioners at least to hear the charges, if for no
other purpose than to remove the smirch
which has been cast on the fair names of
their proteges. A friends loyalty to a
friend is an admirable thing, but in this
case it seems to have overshot its mark
doubtless the besmirched men would
rather have been whitewashed than left 10
remain under the straightforward charge
of traffickers in a very mean and small
sort of rascality.
The present Board of Harbor Commits
sioners has done so admirably in the past
that it would be a pity for it to make a
mistake now. No one would think of ac-
cusing any one OF them of any official
crookedness or with knowledge of or con-
niyance in that particular form of petty
thievery which the acceptance of commits
sions represents. 1t is one thing to chal-
lenge any aspersion on the fair name of a
friend and quite another to discharge an
official obligation.

THE SAFEST GROUND.

One of the most important agencies fos-
tering railroad aggression in California
has been the extreme lengths to which ad-
vocates of reform have endeayored to push
popular and righteous issues. Such a
policy, by having the appearance of being
aimed generally at the rights OF vested
capital, has contributed to the defeat of
reforms which would have greatly pro-
NOTED the prosperity of the State. The
intemperance of its enemies is one of the
strongest supports that the railroad re-
ceives.
Applying this fact 10 the purpose of the
anti-funding convention, which is to be
held in this City on Saturday of this week,
it is clear that nothing would serve the
interests of the railroad more effectively
than an insistence on extreme measures.
Anything of the nature of bitterness, ami
mostly or reprisal-anything but a sim pie
demand for justice and the enforcement of
the law-might place a sword in the hand
of the railroad. The purpose of that con-
vention is 10 urge Congress to defeat any
measure for extending the debt of the
aided railroads.
That alone is very comprehensive posi-
ton. 1t is the door that must be first
opened before the stronghold can be in
vaded. II the funding bill is not first de-
feated it would be idle to talk of any
proposition which naturally would follow
it. Let any ulIerior plans that may be
wise and just be matured meanwhile, bnt
let them be Kept in abeyance until the
main battle is fought and won.
The logical sequence OF events in this
matter requires the funding bill to be first
put ont of the way. That accom- plished
1t would be incumbent on the Government
10 proceed with the collection of the debt.
In that step would be raised the question
OF the method-whether to take the prop
erty outright and operate it as a Govern
ment institution, or sell it subject to Gov
ernment control, or enlarge the powers OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission to
place the regulation of all railway traffic
in the hands OF the Government, or a
dozen other plans that might be imagined
for lessening the power of railroads in
general and assuring more firmly the
stability OF inland commerce and the
steady progress and development of the
whole country. All this broad teld would
be opened by the defeat of the funding
oI4l, anu "ouIu oe cIoSeu Ior nItY years by
its adoption.
Let US take not the smallest chance oil
defeat in this great initial battle. Let the
convention stick with absolute fidelity to
the text of the call which assembl it,
and let every effort be concentrated for the
present on that single issde No dissen-
sion could possibly spring from such a
course, and intemperance would find no
room in its pursuit.
