The TIMES fails to see wherein
the Loud bill will benefit the
country newspaper, On the other
hand we see wherein some Of its
provisions will be an injury and
we are opposed to it, rot only on
this ground, but whereas, under
the present law everyone is able
to get high class literature at a low
price on account of low postage
rate. This could not be done un-
der the Loud bill and even If the
result would be one cent postage
the income of the postal depart.
suent would be greatly reduced
and free delivery to thei country
dis tricts indefinitely postponed
Free delivery is more important
than one cent postage and for this
reason also we are opposed to the
bill.

paupers. This il II terrible drain on
the CO unity and the worst feature
of IL is that. the amount has been
increasing and will no doubt keep
on, unless the Court calls II halt.
One way 10 reduce this amount
would he to refuse aid to all outside
the poor house. Now it seems that
all a person who wants help has to
do is to apply and the peoples
money is appropriated. Unless
some definite rule is adopted as
suggested above there will be no
end TO our expenditures in this
direction.
In our Criminal Court we have
another source of in many cases,
needless expense. Our Magis-
trates could stop great deal of
this by refusing to issue warrants
unless they were satisfied the
charge could be sustained in Circuit
Court. They could also refuse to
bin J over to Court, even if the ev-
idence was pretty strong, unless
they were satisfied it was strong
enough to convict before a jury.
The Grand jury could save tho
county much cost by observing the
same rules. A rule WAS adopted at
the last term of Circuit Court
which will reduce costs. Wednes-
day was set as the day for irving
felonies so of course no costs will
be allowed in such cases before
that day.
In sustaining our present County
Court ystem and our Grand jury

necessary burdens which can only

discussion has no place in this
article which is intended only to

our county can curtail expenses.

ter of duty to the people. We hope
what we have said will result il
good.

ELECT A SHERIFF,

The Knoxville Journal, of few
days ago, sounded a note of warn
ing which the republicans of this
county, W 10 are inclined to go off
with the prohibitionists, vote for an
indepen dent or some other foolish
ness, should ponder. A grave re-
sponsibility rests upon republicans
in regard to electing republican
sheriff. Here is what the Journal
says:

ginning to end to the well-known

periodical. The Indispensable de-
partment of Leading Articles of

features of the Review Of Reviews
have sometimes seemed to be
crowding just little, is allowed in
the May number to have its full
space. In the compass of about
forty pages one finds remarkable
thorough and varied digest of the
most significant articles in the
newest issues of the principal
American, English, and continent

the Review of Reviews has been

past few months on account of bet.

press after the other monthly
periodicals are all printed, and in
view of its timeliness requiring
very rapid mechanical execution,
its typography and picture are re-
markably' handsome. The most
important original feature in this
number is entitled "The Great
Occasions of 1896" In rapid mar
rative fashion, with due regard to
dates and precise facts, the reader
is apprised of all the great gather

WORKING SOUTHWARK.

The hauling of the first carload of grain
over the San Francisco and San Joaquin
Valley Railroad last Friday was the begin
ming of the new era for the southern half
of the great interior basin of California. 1t
was only short haul and the "train" con-
sisted merely of locomotive and one car;
but they were OF the best and latest de-
sign. they were drawn over a track COM
bining the most recent achievements in
constructive engineering, and the load of
grain was laid down at tIdewater, where
barges may take il cheapiy to Port Costa to
be loaded into deep-water ships for Liver
pool.
That is an eloquent story, though
short. The function of the northern ter
minus Of the Valley road ceases at Stock
ton. There water competition and low
rates are encountered. This is an advan.
tage which the San Joaquin Valley has
never had an opportunity in the past to
enjoy. The only benefit that tidewater at
Stockton has ever brought to those parts

MASSACHUSETTS INCIDENT.

There has been recently little transac-
ton in Boston that viii be of interest to
this coast. The people of that city have
been engaged for some time past in an ef-
fort to bring about the erection of larger
and more commodious railway station
than they now possess, and a good
deal of negotiation concerning it has
been going on among the citizens,
the State authorities and the rail
way officials. The president of one of
the roads interested, being about to leave
Boston for trip to California. was re-
ported to have said in an interview that
the roads have done all they intend to do,
and that ''it now remains for the public to
say whether or not they will accept our
proposition"
Such statement from railroad official
in California would hardly occasion re-
mark. In Massachusetts,, however, ii was
regarded as an insult, and promptly taken
up. The Boston Journal, commenting on
it. said:
This reads good deal like what is called in
the diplomacy of nations an "ultimatum."
But, if Mr. Clark and his associates will pardon
us Tor saying so, the Journal believes that the
ultimatum is the privilege not of the railroad,
but of the people of the commonwealth OF
Massachusetts,, acting through their Legisla-
ture. The Legislature is not likely TO rest con-
tent with "take it or leave it'' from corpora
tions which owe their existence to its acts.
Mr.. Clark is essentially a Massachusetts, man,
but possibly his recent years of familiarity
with the legislative methods of Connecticut in
cases involving railroads has caused him to
forget the quality, the spirit and the sense OF
public obligation OF the Legislature OF Massa-
chusetts.
When President Clark read that editorial
on his westward trip he FASTENED to tele-
graph back an explanation and partial
denial, which the Journal accepted with q
warning to the railway men that they
were acting too independently anyway,
and that il was time for them to under
stand that the settlement of all questions
of the new depot which Boston needs de-
pends not upon the officials of the roads,
but upon the people of Massachusetts,.
President Clark, on his arrival in Cali.
fornia, will be shown many things of
which we are proud and which, no doubt,
will impress him greatly. He will find
here delightful climate, fertile soil and
land fruitful of prunes and railroad ulti-
matums, Much that he sees will doubt
less entice him to forswear Boston and
make his home with US, but let US hope
that he will see nothing in the whole wide
domain of California that will lead him
'to forget the quality, the spirit and the
sense of public obligation of the Legisla.
ture of Massachusetts,"

FOR GOOD CITY PAVEMENTS.

Within the next year San Francisco will
in all probability witness reformation in
the condition of it's street pavements that
will result in their being pleasure and a
pride to our residents instead of nui-
sance and a disgrace, as many OF them
now are.
Some OF the most powerful forces of
the community are now engaged in
the attempt to bring about the
change from streets paved with cob
bles. ruinous alike TO vehicles and tenn
pers, to those properly treated with
bituminous rock. While the use of
bituminous pavements was in its ex-
perimental stage, there was much outcry
against its wearing qualities, but the
tests it has undergone for the past ten
years have shown that when laid accord
ing TO approved methods it is by far the
most economical and satisfactory roadway
that has been devised for city streets.
How important and desirable the trans
formation of cobbled streets to bituminous
is considered may be readily gathered
from the simultaneous agitation, with
that object in view, now being carried on
by two of the most influential factors in
teresteu III pupHc mproVementS-the
Merchants Association and the wheel
men. While the one is almost wholly
interested from motives of pride in the
appearance and condition of the City. the
others interest is, while perhaps more
personal and selfish, no less proper and
commendable one. In the face of this move
ment, which has now gathered good head.
way, and which is bound to gain in
strength, it is difficult to see how, in
making its appropriations for the next
fiscal year, the Board of Supervisors can
fail to provide funds for prosecuting this
work of giving San Francisco more good
