COUNTY AID NEEDED
Commissioners May Come to the Res
cue of the HOms.
1T Is RUNNING BEHIND
Unless Taken Up and Conducted
In a Strictly Business-Like Way,
the Institution Is Booked
for a Short Life.
RUNNING BEHIND

County Commissioners Charles, Lisa
and Lloyd held a consultation yester-
day over the question of what should be
done with the women's and Children's
home, it having become very evident
that unless the county did something
to save the institution that it would
have to be closed up, as 1t is running
behind in expenses at the rate of nearly
500 a month. There seems to have
been an impression among some of the
business men of Butte that the home
was being supported entirely by the
county and the bills have been coming
to the commissioners. The fact, how
ever. is that the home is entirely a pri-
vate affair gotten UP and conducted by
Mrs. Mary E. White and the only in
terest the county has in 1t is that the
commissioners are paying for the care
of 20 orphans and abandoned children
at the home. All inmates above that
number are kept at Mrs. Whites own
risk and on her own responsibility.
The county has been dealing very lib
orally with the home because the COM
missioners thought it worthy object
of charity and has been paying about
$235 a month towards its maintenance,
including the rent of $55 a month and
charges at the home. The commission
ers believe that they could take hold
of the institution and run II for less
than it is costing the county now, and
a meeting will be held on Monday art
ernoon to decide whether or not the
county wants to take hold of the place
and run II. The existing Indebtedness
will not be assumed, however. and
creditors of the home will have to look
to Mrs White for their money. The
present debt is between 5000 and $1,000.
When Treasurer Johnston made his
last report, a few months ago, the
debt was about $500 and was increasing
at the rate of s45 a month. A fair and
festival was conceived for the purpose
of raising money to pay off the debt and
S53 was realized as the net proceeds
and turned over to Mrs. White. Since
then the Indebtedness has been increa-
ing at the rate of about 800 a month.
The home in the past has not been
conducted on very much like business
principles. burt rather on a broad
scheme of charity. Any woman or
child who applied at the home was
taken in and sheltered. Very frequent
ly women with children called at the
place and the children were left there
while the mothers went out to work.
promising to return and pay for their
keep. In many instances the mothers
ala not turn up again TOT weeks or
months and Mrs. White received moth
ing. In some cases the children were
abandoned altogether and there are
some at the home now whose names
are not known and whose identity has
been lost. If the commissioners decide
to take charge of the home only ac-
tual county charges will be admitted
and IL is expected that the expenses of
running the place will not exceed the
amount the county now pays towards
it's maintenance

A GOOD THING FOR CALIFORNIA.

1t would have been impossible four years
ago to find protection Democrat in Cali
fornia, but the woods are full of them
this year. AtIeast one of the delegates now
en- route to the Chicago convention will
insist that the platform declare for better
protection to the industrial and agricult-
ural interests of the Pacific Coast. That
one left here firmly of the opinion that the
money question was of minor importance
as compared with little higher fence
around the iron, sheep, fruit, wine,
tobacco, glass, grain and other business
enterprises OF California. In this connec-
ton it may be SAID that the same feeling
prevails to a considerable extent in Pacific
Coast Democratic circles.
Delegate Wise voiced the sentiments of
all California Democrat wool-growers
when he told THE CALL 81 want to see a
tariff on all raw and manufactured wool"
He said he was for free wool while ago,
but he finds that it won't work in business.
Mr.. Denigan, who is the head of large
San Francisco wool house, is also q repre-
sentative business man of the Democratic
persuasion in California, and what he says
may be relied upon as correctly rejecting
the opinion of all Democrats who are en-
gagged in business pursuits that need to be
protected against un just and unreasonable
outside competition. To be sure they
still talk of revenue tariff, " but not the
kind Wilson and German inflicted upon
the country, and meanwhile they want a
tariff that will protect their own revenue.
The striking thing, and the thing to be
observed in the declarations of leading
Democrats on the tariff question, is that
business men of all parties in California
are getting closer together on the tariff
question. Their experience in the last
three years in the world OF commerce has
demonstrated to them the fact that Cali
fornia must have ample protection to her
industries If she is to prosper. 1t is not
sentiment nor politics with the business
men hereabouts. 1t is business operations
for profits, and since protection is neces-
sary to profits, why, as sensible business
men, they want protection. Party linesl
are being obliterated so far as that cues
ton is concerned, and it is not now SO
much question of party as it is a oues-
ton of to whom shall California turn for
succor.
1t is not at all likely, however. that the
Chicago convention will listen a moment
to the Californ ia delegation on PROPOSE
ton for something comforting and
strengthening to their business enterprises.
Altgeld holds the whip, and he is an ultra
free-trader; besides, he intends that the
silver question shall dominate all Others
and THAT if his candidate is elected, the
present tariff schedule will be attended to
on the basis of not less than so per cent
reductlon-after the mints are running full
time on 16 to 1 silver dollars. all of which
will be good for the party of protect on
and prosperity in California

A COINCIDENCE.

1t might be considered curious coinci-
dence that Hannis Taylor OF Alabama
should be Minister to Spain and Fitzhugh
Lee Copsui-General TO Cuba at this particu-
lar time. Both Taylor and Lee were raised
In an atmosphere that was always burden
ed with the idea that IL not annexed, Cuba
should at least be freed from Spanish au-
thority. Alabama has been conspicuous
on many occasions for her zeal for Cuban
independence, and no doubt Mr.. Taylor
imbibed plenty of ii in his young days. and
the same holds good of General Lee. There
never was an effort made by cubans for
independence that the South was not ready
to extend helping hand.
But there is another reason why these
representatives OF the United States to
Spain and CUBA should feel very kindly
toward Cuba-that is, if it is assumed that
human nature runs right along in the
same old rut and that gratitude continues.
During the war of the rebellion the Gu
bans were very friendly to the South.
Confederate blockade runners always
found hospitable harbors in Cuban waters.
and great many Southern families found
pleasant homes in Havana while the war
was raging at home. OF course Cuban
friendship and hospitality was not alto
gether without profit to the islanders, for
they made great deal of money shipping
army supplies into and cotton out of the
Confederacy, and on the whole a kindly
feeling prevailed, between the better class
especially, for slavery was a strong bond
OF union in those days.
1t is not at all likely that either Taylor
or Lee would color facts or ton oneniv av
press their sympathy with the cause of the
Cubans, but on general principles they
may be relied upon TO not omit any in
formation in their reports to this Govern
ment that would be calculated to at least
set the revolutionists in the true light of
their purpose. 1t is not at all unfortunate
for Cuba that Taylor is in Madrid and Lee
in Havana.
The San Francisco call., 1896-07-03
MAKE THEM THE OFFICIAL RATES

The presumption is that freight rates
were too high to permit large movement
of traffic before the San Francisco and
San Joaquin Valley Railway reduced them,
and it is reasonable to assume, too, that
they were not reduced to where the rail-
way would sustain q loss. a railway is a
business enterprise for the one purpose of
making money for its owners. Rates are
always made so that the traffic will yield
ample revenue to provide for all expendi-
ture ana leave margin of profit. 1t fol-
lows, then, that when a railway volun-
tarily lowers its charges it admits that
they were unjustly high and that reduc-
ing them does not mean loss to the car
rier. A railway is in no sense charitable
institution. On the contrary, it is as soul
less as boulder in the mountain, and it
does nothing that does not promise ade-
quate compensation. Moreover when a
railway reduces its schedule of charges for
its services it does so because, first, they
are higher than the traffic can bear, and,
second, because by reducing them traffic
can afford to move, which in turn increases
the volume of the carried tonnage. Do not
think for moment that a railway ever
voluntarily establishes a rate-sheet that
provides for less revenue than is required
for the expenditure and profit account.
In annou ncing a horizontal cut in traffic
tariffs the Valley road proves without the
asking that the charges that are permitted
by the Railway Commission are too high.
No other evidence of that fact is needed.
The road admits by its own free act that
there is a reasonable profit in carrying
tonnage at its reduced charges. That is
all the Commissioners need to warrant
them in making the Valley roads new
schedule the official maximum raIe sheet,
not only in the territory covered by that
partic ular road, but for every mile of rail-
way in the State. The Southern Pacific
has met the Valley lines cut, but under
protest The protest, however, is an ex-
preston of the roads inordinate greed, as
is shown in its action in the premises.
The Southsrn Pacific was not obliged to
meet the Valley roads cut. 1t had per-
feet right to hold fast to the charges estab-
lished by the Commissioners. But in
meeting the reduction the Southern
Pacific either proves that the old rates
were too high and that the new rates are
profita bic. or that the management of the
road is false to its employer The man
agement has no more right to entail
losses upon the owners of the property by
reducing rates below the cost of service
than it has to entail losses by burning
station houses or wrecking trains. Hence,
if the Southern Pacifio's owners are losing
money by the management cutting rates
below what the law permits it should be
arrested for malicious destruction of a
trust. On the other hand, if the cut rates
are reasonable they should be made the
official maximum rate for the whole
State.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

f. Harrow, an Englishman who has lived In
New Zealand for the last fourteen years, ar
rived on the Mariposa yesterday with fine
specimen OF the apteryx, or kiwi, the wingless
night bird found only in New Zealand.
Ine strange-looking creature is about the
size OF small domestic fowl. and is covered
with what is apparently hairy coat OF mot
tieo Drown. This apteryx probably has the
honor OF being the first one of its kind that
mas ever oreathed the air of America, though
hve kiwis have been obtained for botanical
and geological gardens in Europe.
Ii there ever was any foundation in fact for
the notorious filleyloo bird, the kiwi must
have furnished the suggestion.
IL Is most active only at night, and then it
goes about rapidly thrusting its long slender
bill into the earth in search of worms on
