Before Dr. Jai7fes65n went on his wild
ride into the Transvaal and Cecil Rhodes
became an International figure, the read
ing world knew the Boer and his kraals,
had seen the OK teams gathered in the
town market places and watched them
numbering across the hills. Olive Schrein-
er had shown them the Cane coun-
try before it became the talk of politi-
clans, and now she has returned to the
theme, not to tell of the introspection of
a farmer boy in the sheep pastures nor
the romance of a wild-spirted girl, but
TO reveal to the public the real spirit of
colonial life on either side of the Wall

a. series of articles entitled STRAY

shows a thorough understanding Of the

THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.

According to all reports from Washing
ton California will be served fairly well in
the river and harbor bill, which will prob
ably be reported to the House to-day. We
shall not get all we asked for, of course,
but there are reasons for believing that
this Congress has had better understand
ing of our needs than any which has
recently preceded it and that within the
limits of economy which the cond ition OF
the treasury imposes some OF our long
needed river and harbor improvements
will be undertaken.
Something OF this kind was, of course, to
be expected. The Republican party has
always been the champion Of internal I'M
proyements. 1t has favored everything
that tends to improve the condition of the
people, advance public welfare and develop
the resources of the country. The present
Republican majority has been hampered
in work of this kind by the deficit in the
revenues caused by the Democratic tariff.
1t cannot, of course, do so much as it
would otherwise have done, since the lack
of revenues has made restriction in public
improvements matter of necessity.
The enforced economy resulting from
Democratic bungling will OF course have
weight in determining public judgment
upon the bill when it has been reported
and the details made known. If all the
improvements we have right to hope for
from the Government are not provided for
to an extent sufficient at least to make a
beginning the people will know the reason
why. Meanwhile We are pretty sure of
better treatment than we ever received
from Democratic Congress, and if such
information as has leaked out at Washing
ton be correct the bill as whole is likely
to be fairly satisfactory to the Pacific
Coast.
In one respect at any rate we have been
more than usually fortunate this year.
The contest against the funding bill has
united the California delegation as it was
never united before, and as consequence
there has bsen more harmonious and
more vigorous work for all California
interests. 1t is pleasing to note that
Representative Herman of Oregon, from
the vantage ground of his position on the
River and Harbor Committee, has been
very helpful to every California interest
that came before it. He has not been
afraid that he would hurt his own State by
helping another on the coast, and his
course in this respect merits the recogni-
ton, the commentator and the thanks of
all CaliforniapS

THE CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.

In this connection we desire again to call the
attention of our readers to the large amount Oh
space that is devoted to impartial news oil our
party by the San Francisco CALL THE CALL is
solidly Republican, but it shows an Impair
tiality and disposition to give the news tnat
has never been shown by either the Examiner
or the Chronicle. On the contrary, two years
ago both these papers Systematically suppressed
and avoided every item of news that tney were
not forced to give. THE CALL is giving much
space to "Letters From the People" in when we
notice that Populist writer's are as numerous
as any. and seem to be allowed TO express
their sentiments with very little censorship.
This is a matter of considerable interest 70
Populists in this State who wish to get news
that cen only be had through the daliles. IL
THE CALL continues its policy during the CAM
paign it should be patronized by Popullsts 10

a long review of the situation. including inter
views with leading Populists and bimetaillsts'
from the reading OF which the foregoing eal-
toral was suggested, and in which 1t alludes
to Mr. Johnson, quoted above, as being an able
writer in the cause of Populism, who has at
tracted the attention of politicians throughout
the State by his letters in THE CALL.
The San Francisco call., 1896-03-31
A MEASURE OF DEFENSE.

San Francisco has peatedly demon
strated that when once properly aroused
to action she is capable of protec ting and
preserving her interests. In the present
controversy between the local merchants
and Goodall, Perkins & Co. regarding the
treatment to be accorded to San Francisco
in connection with the competition of
Portland, Or, for the business of Eureka
the San Francisco people have been
taunted with asking concessions in face of
possessing the natural advantage of being
more closely situated to Eureka and OF
having better transportation service to
and closer business relations with the port
of Hum boldt Bay.
The concession asked for is difference
in rates from San Francisco and Portland
respectively to Eureka, based on mileage.
This rate at present is 81 per ton from
either point to Humboldt Bay, but it is
claimed by the transportation companies
and admitted by shippers that this is not
a profitable rate. 1t is war rate and one
that is not likely to be maintained for
any great length OF time. With the re-
organization of the Transcontinental
Traffic Association will come better
feeling among all the competing lines en-
braced in it, and it is highly probable that
the local war that has ragged for more than
half year between the Southern Pacific
Company and the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company will be settled and
harmony restored, with accompanying
peace rates on freight and passenger busi-
ness. This consummation will also ease
up the strain on the Eureka controversy
and rates will be readjusted so as to leave
q reasonable profit to the carriers.
But the lesson taught the merchants of
San Francisco should be needed. There
has been frequent talk of extending the
Donahue line to connect with the Eel
River road and thus give Eureka rail
facilities TO San Francisco and the whole
outside world, and this scheme has been
revived within the past few days. 1t is
claimed by President Foster of the Dona-
hue that sucn a through line would not
pay at current rates with the existing
amount of business. Undoubtedly he is
right, but railroads are seldom built in
expectation of immediate dividends.
There can be little question, however, that
if this project were carried out normal
rates and the natural increase in traffic
ludt "Ouiu oo ouic W Coibo Will tnc uc-
velopment stimulated by the existence of
the railroad would soon put the road on a
satisfactory footing for the stockholders.
To all these reasons why San Francisco
capital should enter this field is the added
one now causing so much contention and
anxiety-the competition of Portland in
the Eureka field. If Portland is once
allowed to wean any considerable portion
of this trade from San Francisco the joint
efforts of the Portland merchants and the
transportation company operating the
water route between Eureka and Portland
will make it difficult matter to recover
that business. Prompt and energetic
action is necessary.
The San Francisco call., 1896-03-31
A BEVY OF QUEENS.

A pretty feature of the festivals which q
number of California cities are preparin g
to hold is the selection of queen" to
lend an added charm to the occasion. The
custom is so old that its beginning is lost
IN the mists of the vanished ages. 1t is a
tribute to the grace and beauty of the sex
that mankind was glad to pay even before
the dawn of chivalry. Even in these
practical times what Mayday celebration
is complete without its May Queen, wear
ing her crown of roses and gracIously re-
ceiving the adulation of her subjects of an
hour?
The custom has always been fitted 10
pastoral times and countries. With the
growth of large cities and the consequent
sinking of individualIties, hardening of
custom and character and creation of class
distinctions, it has necessarily fallen into
unpopuIarity in the great centers of popu-
lation, but in the rural districts of the
civilized world, where life is simpler and
freer, where one knows all ones neigh.
bors and the beauties of nature still keep
the heart green and wholesome life
lends roses to the cheeks OF the maidens.
the custom is observed with all its old
sweetness, and thus it will continue to the
end OF time.
And where better than in California can
it be becomingly cherished? The finer
happiness, health and freedom here are
associated with the industries to which
