STAND BY THE RAILWAY.

The San Francisco and San Joaquin
Valley Railway has total mileage of less
than 100 miles, and just at this time it
should not be expected to exert much in
fluence upon freight rates and passenger
fares in very extended territory. 1t
should be remembered that it is a new en-
terprise and that it is only the beginning
of what will grow into an extensive sys-
tenn of rail transportation lines. 1t is true,
also, that the mileage that is now open to
traffic was constructed rather faster than
railways generally are and that the work
of extending the line is being pushed with
the utmost vigor. This certainly indicates
that it is the purpose of the projectors to
create competing lines in various sections
of the State, with San Francisco as the
focus of them all, and that in the not very
far distant future the Southern Pacific
will be confronted by rival that is fully
equal to maintain its position, great and
powerful as the Southern Pacific is.
There never was public enterprise in
California that promised so much good to
the people. No doubt the growth of the
interior of the State has been greatly re-
tarded by the arbitrary and selfish man
agement of the Southern Pacific, an d there
is no doubt also that there is no other way
to release the State from the iron grasp of
the Southern Pacific monopoly than the
construction of parallel lines. This the Val
ley Railway Company has undertaken to
do, and the good faith of its purpose is DEM
onstrated by the large investment OF capi-
tai which the Valley road represents, and
in very considerable reduction of traffic
tariffs the moment the first mileage of the
proposed system was ready TO be operated.
Another proof of the earnestness of the
projection is found in the stability of the
roadway and structures of the first mile
age 1t presents in no sense earmarks of
a speculative enterprise, but a solid and
permanent business undertaking on sound
business principles.
The plan includes, as we have said, a
large system of lines radiating from San
Francis co and the trunk road. But while
the work of construction is in the hands
of capitalists who are thoroughly and sim
cerely seeking profitable employment for
their money, a duty of moment devolves
upon those whose interests would be bene-
flied by additional rail facilities for reach
ing the markets of the country. We refer
to rights of way. There are those TO whom
it sometimes occurs that road must be
extended, else the enterprise would be
left half finished and improbable, and
that they Will exact prices for the right of
way that would be equal to the value of
all their land holding were no railway
contemplated. Such men are detriment
to any country; besides, they are misera-
bly, short-sighted. else they could see that
the introduction of ample public trans
portation lines would largely increase the
value of their property. If the people
want to be released from the yoke of the
Southern Pacific monopoly they should
give aid and comfort to the San Francisco
and San Joaquin Valley Railway enter

The colony is divided into departments these

There are four departments-labor, educa.

executive ability. He is in no sense a

Senate. His life has been spent in chan

San Francisco in darkness will tend to i'm
press the newcomer and traveller in very un-
favorable light. When great city has to re-
sort to such methods of economy the fnan cial
accounts of the municipality must indeed be
in sore straits. Even bankruptcy would seem
preferable. 1t is useless to advertise the Won
derful advantages the City present is for home
seekers and its spirit of prosperity, and claim
everything up to date. while such conditions
travel fast and in short time do harm
which 1t will take years to undo Like bad
reputation, it is hard to overcome. II will be
great treat for thugs and thieves.
How city like San Francisco can afford to
economize at such a cost is beyond the under
standing Of the ordinary mortal.

LEARN TO LABOR AND WAIT.

For the lessons of life
They are MANY and stern;
And the hardest to learn
Is not masterful strife
For a king or state;
1t is only--to wait.
Youth is eager TO start
on the ocean alone,
Ere his strength be full-grown;
And though Age from his heart
May OF perils inform,
Still he thirsts for the storm.
If his courage be high,
He may struggle a ong
And by sorrow grow strong;
And the years, as they fiy,
May allot him life's prize
On this side OF the skies.
But the many that strive
For the laurels must fail;
And full many q sail
At Deaths port snail arrive,
That could enter joys gate
Would its master but wait.
