The House got tired of waiting for
the Senate to take the initiative in the
matter of adjournment and this week
adopted a resolution to adjourn on
May IS. This means that the House
will be ready to adjourn on that date.
but what the Senate intends to do is
yet to be learned, even by the Senators
themselves. 1t is practically certain,
however, that adjournment will not
take place on the date mentioned, nor
for several weeks thereafter.

The House by nearly two-thirds vote
refused to except the Senate amend
ment to the Naval appropriation bill
reducing the number of battleships
provided for from four to two, and the
talk of the members indicates an in
tention to stick which will, if persisted
in, win. A change Of three of four
votes in the Senate is all that is needed
to knock out that amendment.

THE FUNDING BILL AGAIN.

1t is reported from Washington that an
attempt will be m ade to get the Pacific rail-
roads funding bill through Congress Ut the
coming session. The report is not founded
upon very reliable Information, since it
claims no other authority than the fact
that one of the friends Of the funding
measure has sent his private secretary to
Washington to gather material for a
speech oc the subject; but, nevertheless,
1t is worth while to pay attention to it.
The issue is most important one for Cali
fornia and we cannot afford to permit the
slightest word of warning to go unheeded.
There is no use arguing the question
over again in this State. 1t has been
so thoroughly discussed here that every
phase of it is we'll understood. 1t
is of course possible that some form
OF funding might be devised which
would be satisfactory to California
but it Is not probable. Certain it is that
no such form has yet been made public or
even suggested. The demand OF the rail-
road has been of nature too onerous on
the people to receive any support from the
public.
The funding bill proposed last winter
will probably be the one taken up during
the coming session, il any is taken up at
all. That bill after the fullest considera-
ton has been denounced in this City and
this State by men of all parties and OF all
industries. 1t is not just or fair to- say
that all who oppose it are enemies of the
railroad. Many of them indeed are con-
spicuous for fair dealing in all the walks
OF life and for moderation in language.
As matter of fact the bill is opposed vir-
tuaIly by the whole people of California,
and if any further expression of opinion
on that side were necessary. it could
easily be obtained by mass-meetings in
any and every city of the State.
The proper way for the Government to
deal with the defauIting roads is that in
which it would deal with any other debtor
who defaulted in his obligations. The
Nation should make no terms with the
rich and powerful which it would not
make with the hum blest citizen. We de-
sire no injustice done to that or any other
corporation in the Union, but we demand
also that no privileges should be granted to
any which would work injustice to the
people.
