CUTTLE.FIsH TACTICS.
The Way the Anti-Funding Fight is
Carried On.
(From the San Jose Herald.)


From the San Jose Herald)
It is quite the custom with some per-
sons when they want anything to say
1--WE, the people, demand it, Some
times this is the result of egotism, some
times of conscious Misrepresentation.
These general facts are specially IL
lustrated by the fight over the Pacific
railroads refunding bill now being
waged in this State. A so-called con-
vention met recently in San Francisco
to protest against refunding. 1t pro-
tested in the name of "the people" AS
matter of fact it represented nothing
except Mayor Sutro with a grudge
against the railroad company which
had refused to help him out in his Rich
mond District land, railroad and bath
house speculations; certain newspapers
supposed to be retained by the sugar
trust, which are befouling the political
waters like a cuttle-dsh to cover their
own movements; and a number of in
dividuals who from conviction or policy
supported the movement. If the peo-
pie" were behind the movement, why
were they not adequately represented?
Instead, the convention was made
up mostly of a lot of self-constituted
delegates.
Ever since that convention adjourned
the newspapers which are fighting re-
funding have been raising the 1--WE, the
people" cry. But when we come to
analyze the matter 1.-The people" do not
show up so conspicously and unitedly as
might be expected. The trouble is that
anti-refunders offer them nothing prac-
tical to unite upon. They deal, not in
facts but words, sound and fury signi-
flying nothing.
The people want this matter settled
right, but they do not want to take an
elephant ON their hands until they have
some idea of how to dispose of him. Be
side they do not want any clique OF
persons or papers to assume to speak
in their names without proper author
ity.- Especially they object to that
when the motives of these self-consti-
tuted popular champions are open to
suspicion.
The railroad has much to answer for.
One of its greatest responsibilities was
its former alliance with the sugar inter
est to hold up prices on this coast. Now
that the sugar interest has other and
larger ends to subserve by making
scapegoat of its former ally it does not
thereby command popular confidence
and assistance in it's game.
So far as the interests of this COM
munity are concerned it has much more
in common with the railroad than with
the sugar trust. Beside it has not been
informed how it is to gain anything by
foreclosure of the Government claim.
This is a matter of business to be set
tied ON business principles. The peo-
pie can see their way more clearly to
business conclusion if they do not al
low themselves to be blinded by the cut
tle-fiSh press

The record-union., 1896-02-08

the absolute vacuity Of negatives which
have constituted the capital of the
Sutro- Examiner warfare. But the
Chronicle has said something more
than a reaff1rmation of it's doctrine that
a consistent effort in favor of Govern
ment ownership would have defeated
the funding bill. It says in effect that
a foreclosure Of the mortgage means
that the Union and Central Pacific
railroads will pay more nearly the true
value of the roads than any outsider
possibly could.
Following this is something still more
conclusive, to wit: But sometimes we
think this is the purpose of the men
who are violently beating the tom
toms of prejudice and at the same time
playing the railroads little game"
Those who have marveled at the
silence Of the Chronicle when a great
was attracting universal attention may
derive from this the simple explanation
that the Chronicle does not believe
that mere opposition to the funding
bill will accomplish anything, but that
on the contrary it does believe that if a
consistent and persistent effort in favor
Of Government ownership had been
pursued; that if the movement which
acquired such stupendous headway a
year ago had been taken at its flood, it
would have led on to practical results.
We are disposed to think the "Chron-
icle'' is mistaken. We do not believe
that there ever We're ten votes in the
Senate or twenty votes in the House in
favor of a Government ownership
measure.
It is just as certain now as it was
clear in the time of the petition that
California was being put in ridicu-
lous attitude; that it was demanding
that the people of the United States
pay, by losing it, the $120,O00,000 which
had been paid out on account of the
construction of these roads; that the
demand was in its nature selfish, i'm
pertinent and even impudent, and it
was so regarded throughout the United
| States. That the petitioners who made
this exhibition of themselves and the
State they pretended to represent, were
simply earning the contempt Of other
States of the Union was of course a
thing impossible for them to under
stand. Subsequent events have dis
closed clearly to their minds the unten-
able character of their demand and the
ridiculous light they have placed this
State in before the other States of the
nation.
