A Hard Lesson to Learn.

Socrates, the ecclesiastical historic
grapher, reports story of one Pambo,
plain. ignorant man, who came to a
learned man and desired him to teach
him some psalm or other He began to
read unto him the thirty-ninth psalm:
81 said, I will take heed to my ways
that / sin not with my tongue, says
Spencer Having passed this nrst
verse Pambo shut the book and took MS
leave, saying that he would go ana
learn that point first When he had ap-
sented himself for the space OF nine
months he was demanded of his reader
when he would go forward. He an
swered that he had not yet learned his
old lesson, and he gave the very same
answer to one that asked the like ques-
ton forty-nine years after.

NO PACIFIC CABLE BILL.
SENATE COMMITTEE FAILS TO
AGREE ON A BILL.
Divided as to Which Company's Prop.
OsitfOn Should be Named in
the Measure.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations de-
cided to-day not to report any bill for a
cable to Hawaii. There was consider
able feeling among the members. A
bill had been drafted and accepted by
majority of the committee which was
believed to contain the best features of
the two propositions under considera
ton, one coming from the New York
or Scrimser Company, and the other
from the New Jersey or Spaulding Com
pany. The bill was complete except for
the absence of the name of the COM
pany to which the contract should be
awarded. The bill had been submitted
to both companies and each had
agreed to accept its provisions in case
it should be named as the one to which
the contract should go.
The four Democratic members of the
ccmmittee-Gray, Turpie, Daniel and
Mills were opposed to granting any
subsidy for a cable, leaving the six Re-
publican Senators and Senator Morgan
favorable to the undertaking by one
company or other, but divided as be-
tween the two companies. The ballot
on filling the blank in the bill resulted
in favor of the New York company, the
four Senators who opposed any bill
voting for this company. When the
vote was taken upon reporting the bill
awarding the contract, these four Sena-
tors voted against it, and were joined by
the friends of Spaulding. A motion to
insert the New Jersey or Spaulding
Company was defeated by the four
Democrats and others favoring the New
York company. The advocates of the
cable do not admit that the adverse
vote will result in anything more seri-
Gus than a. temporary delay. 1t is sug-
gested that the contesting companies
may be Joined in the bill and their
friends thus united

and interested parties living, and hav-
ing interests at San Pedro, that the ex-
istence of the so-called Free Harbor
League is due. This organization has
promulgated statements of a character
that can be only accounted for on the
supposition that majority of the MEM
bers are not informed as to the facts,
the statement amounting to the asser-
ton that a deep-water harbor at Port
Los Angeles in Santa Monica Bay will
be for the exclusive use of the Southern
Pacific Railroad, while, if such harbor
is built in San Pedro Bay, near Point
Firmin, it will be free to all.
The facts are that at Santa Monica
there are two railroads, the Southern
Pacific Railroad and the Southern Cali
fcrnia Railway Santa Fe system). Be-
tween Santa Monica and Port Los An
geles, the proposed deep-water site, the
Southern Pacific Railroad owns mar
row right of way, fifty feet wide, the re-
naming available land, with room for
at least seven railroad tracks, being es-
pecially reserved by the original land
owners for the use of other railroads;
and at Port Los Angeles the Southern
Pacific Railroad owns the franchise for
one wharf near the westerly end of the
proposed deep-water harbor, the re-
mainder of the harDor being available
for franchises for wharves of any other
corporations or individuals who may
wish to avail themselves of the privi-
llege.
At San Pedro there are two railroads.

If deep-water harbor were built near
Point Firfnin, two miles south of San
Pedro. the Los Angeles Terminal Rail-
way could reach sucn harbor by con-
structing an expensive bridge across the
Wilmington inner harbor channel if the
United States Army Engineers would
consent to such construction, and thence

construction along the foot of the wave

to the deep-water harbor.
No other railroad car reach this deep
water harbor near Point Firmin without
building across or along the right of
way and tracks of the Southern Pacific
Railroad. perhaps under considerable
legal difficulties and certainly with seri-
Gus right of way and construction diff
culties.
Also the land on shore throughout
nearly the entire extent of the pro-
posed deep-water harbor near Point
Firmin is owned either by the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company or by indi-
vidual members Of that company's
Board of Directors.
These are facts that are known to
many and Sho11l1 ha known fo all apd

II n given out on the authority Of .
cabinet officer that President Cleveland
thinks the democratic party can win
this year by declaring unequivocally
for sound money and nominating a
candidate TO match. He believes. In
other words. that the currency question
il going to be the controlling one in
the campaign. and that the democrats
have only 70 put themselves on the
right side of IL In order to sweep the
country. The proposition Is well inn
ngined, but there Is not so much to
be said of it's practicability. There are
certain obstacles In the case which
cannot be removed by simply wishing
that they were out of the way. Mr..
Cleveland himself has helped to create
them. and he ought TO know that they
represent condition and not theory.
His devotion TO sound money has made
him many enemies for whom he ought
TO be loved. which rs to say that he
has generated kind of antagonism in
his party that forbids the idea Of such
a surrender as his plan of success con-
templates. He has acted courageously.
but In so doing he has consolidated
and intensified the free silver sentiment
that he expected to suppress. II Is
a potent and implacable force, and the
suggestion that II ought to discredit
and humiliate itself by a betrayal Of
the cause for which Il stands will only
serve to render IL more aggressive and
vindictive. instead of tending to make
IL amiable.
Mr.. Cleveland knows, of course, that
over two-thirds of the democrats In
the present congress have voted for
free silver, Notwithstanding all that
he has said and done in the opposite
direction. These men do not speak for
themselves merely, but for large con-
stituencies that are very much in earn
est about the matter. He has surely
not failed to observe that in every dem
ocratic state his party is divided upon
this question in an uncompromising
and acrimonious way. The two fac
tons are more bitter toward each other
than they are towards the republican

in congress and the white house-a
policy which is injurious 10 tine country
and disastrous to the party which ad-

That the government needs more
revenue is apparent from every treas
ury statement. The house passed n
bill which would have furnished rev.
enue enough to put the government on
its legs. But in the senate populists,
free silver democrats and honest money
democrats united to defeat It. For
once the two wings Of the democracy
were able to flop together. The two
factions struck hands with one another
and with the pops for the purpose Of de-
feating n measure which would have
made the tariff little more protective
