thing that Sutro afil .5ts with
his assistance. Comparatively few
people who ara familiar with
the career of Su'ro have faith in his
sincerity. He is what Huntington, in
his card to the Louisville Courier
Journal, pictures him to be. His lead
ership of the anti-funding bill forces
in San Francisco, and practically OF
the coast, becomes absolutely value
less when it is recalled that his wrath
against the Southern Pacific was not
aroused until the latter declined to
carry passengers from the San Fran
cisco ferries to his Cliff house prop
erty for a single 5-cent fare. This con-
cession would have had a most stimu-
lating effect on Sutro's large laad
holdings in the vicinity of the Cliff
house, and the failure of the company
to grant it is what developed San Fran
ciscos mayor into an anti-monopolist.
His is leadership inspired by per-
sonal spite and not public spirit, con-
sequently it will weigh little in con-
gressional opinion.
