sions. Even the Market-street Railway
Company, which has been lording it over
this City with the same imperious disre-
gard of public right which the Southern
Pacific has always displayed, is being
called to terms, for a suit has been brought
to dispossess it of a number of streets over
which it holds franchises secured under
terms which have been openly and def
antly violated. The way in which the
Metropolitan road has beer managed by
the Market-street Company has virtually
checked the progress which the region
south of the park had begun, and property
values there have suffered accordingly
Persons who built homes in the section
served by that road did so under the natu-
raj presumption that the conditions OBJ
tanning at the time of their building and
required by law would continue. The in
convenience which they have suffered has
been annoying and serious,
1t is time that these matters should re-
ceive thorough overhauling and the fact
be definitely ascertained if the railway
companies are really stronger than the
people, the laws which they enact and the
officers whom they elect.
The San Francisco call., 1896-01-24
THE MONEY DIVERTED.

AS M. G. Upton pointed out in a COM
munlcation published in Thursdays CALL
the money which the Central Pacific
earned by taxing the industries of Califor-
MIA was sufficient to pay the debt to the
Government, but instead of being applied
to that use, as was understood between the
Government and the company, it was di-
verted to the pockets of the company s
members. Hence the private fortunes of
these persons in reality belong to the Gov
ernment. The people have already paid
sufficient money to the company to extin-
guish its debt, but Mr.. Huntington asks
that he be given the opportunity to make
| them pay it second time. This is mon
strous on its face.
Not only would the people have to raise
this amount of money second time if a
funding bill were passed, but the burdens
which have borne SO heavily upon them in
the shape of railroad extortion would be
| largely increased, for we may be sure that
the company will never be willing to re-
duce the amount of its profits, and that in
raising the extra large sum required by a
funding bill it will increase it's tariffs
Even that, however, is not so serious
matter as the perpetuation of the power
full monopoly which holds the welfare of
California in its grasp. We in this State
| are familiar with the many ways in which
this power has been exercised.
Undoubtedly the desperate eagerness
with which Mr.. Huntington is seeking to
secure the passage of funding bill is, in
part, explainable on the ground of his fear
that if he is forced to settle with the Gov
ernment his private fortune may be en-
dangered. This is the property which he
should have paid to the Government in
stead of putting it into his own pocket
There are equities" besides those which
he is urging as a reason for an extension
Of his debt.
The establishing of such a precedent as
that for which the railroad companies are
contending would be an exceedingly un-
wise policy for this Govern ment to adopt
1t would be going contrary to every busi-
ness principle, and would be subversiye of
the wise and fixed financial relations ex-
listing between the Government and its
citizens. The whole proposition is so dan
gerous, absurd and unjust that the won
der is it should be grayeIy considered for
| moment by the Nations representatives
at Washington.
The San Francisco call., 1896-01-24
A REPUBLICAN NEED.

The Supreme Court decision declaring
the new Election Commission Of San Fran
cisco unconstitutional throws the election
machinery back into the hands of the old
board, which contains a Democratic ma
iority. AT the same time the Superior
Court OF Los Angeles renders q decision
against the constitutionality of the pri-
mary election law, but this is not final
until the Supreme Court passes on the
question. The appeal from Los Angeles
will doubtless be pushed forward with all
possible speed.
Whatever may be the final decision in
the matter Charles w. Manwaring, chair
man of the Republican County Commit
tee, in a card published in Thursdays
CALL, earnestly urges the committee,
either a. a body or individually, "to make
an effort to secure the choice by the Elec-
tion Commission OF good, efficient Repub-
licans to represent the party in the pre-
cinct boards" He insists that none but
"unquestionabIe Republicans" be selected.
The urgency for this is very great. The
shameful position in which the City has
been placed by permitting unscrupulous
bosses of both parties TO manipulate pre-
cinct boards by corrupt com mbinations and
to control the conventions should be
remedied as quickly and thoroughly as
possible. Had it rot been for this kind of
politics such disgraceful thing as Solid
Eight in the Board of Supervisors would
have been impossible, and the need OF
Grand Jury disclosures of scandalous prac-
tices in the Street Department. would never
have arisen.
The increasing power of Christopher
Buckley, the Democratic boss, IN reorgan-
izing his scattered forces and thus present.
ing fair prospect of being able 10 over
whelm the decent element of that party
in the City, adds to the necessity for ener-
getic action on the part of the Republicans
to keep their own house clean and make it
inviting 10 the respectable elements of all
parties The success of corrupt boss in
one party is an encouragement for the ad-
vent of corrupt boss in the other, for it is
by combinations that they thrive best. A
Solid Eight, composed of Republicans and
Democrats means simply a combination
between the bosses who elected and con-
troll them.
The Republicans OF the City have now
the best opportunity that has ever been
offered them to organize on high plane
and purge San Francisco OF political ras-
cality. The people are tired OF boss rule.
Ii the Republicans succeed in suppressing
the advent of a boss of the Buckley type
in their ranks and place only decent and
responsible citizens on guard they can
sweep the City. The CONSERVATION fol-
lowing BuckIey's temperance has Gre
ated an extraordinary opportunity for the
Republicans, but they can lose all its pos
sible benefits by failure to appreciate its
value.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
MR. vIN1NG AND THE NEwsBoYs
THE RAILROAD MAGNATE's APPEAL TO THE MER-
CHANTS ASSOCIATION.

THE RAILROAD MAGNATE's APPEAL TO THE MER-
CHANTS ASSOCIATION.
While Mr.. Vining has succeeded In large
measure in subjugating the mature and adult
portion OF his sub jects, he is severely exercised
by the Indifference and insolence of the i'm
mature newsboys, and has been obliged to ap-
peal TO the Merchants Association TO aid him
in suppressing their handling transfers and
depicting the revenues of the monopoly. Mr.
Vining thinks it is getting money under false
pretenses for a ne Tsboy to sell newspaper to
any person with transfer as premium. Mr.
Vining con templates petitioning the Super
visors to make it misdemeanor to traffic in
transfers. Mr.. Vining was astonished on a
rainy day at seeing lady cross Powell street
boy transfer.
But all the anxiety and agony of Mr.. Vining
may be caused because out OF $50, 900 inhabit-
ants possibly not more than 100000 daily
patroniZe his combine, and one in thousand
may get Il transfer through newsboy under
Mr.. Winnings Interpretation of fraudulent pre-
lenses. Mr.. Vintng ought to know that one
third of his 100000 daily patrons ride from
force OF habit and not of necessity, and when
the facts are brought to their notice and com
prehension las they win be- that the com bine
is following in the footsteps of its illustrious
predecessor, the notorious Octopus, by con-
tlnuing "to charge all the traffic viii bear'
these $1,000 patrons viii discontinue riding,
save more than $4,000 day, keep the nickels,

UTILIZING THE ISLAND.

The bill introduced by Senator Perkins
for the establishment of a naval training
station on Goat Island has the hearty IN
dorsement OF Secretary Herbert OF the
navy and the ardent support of the Cali
fornia delegation in the House. As the
Secretary points out, not only does the in
crease III the number of war vessels create
a great demand for trained seamen in the
absence of a merchant marine, but such
training schools encourage the intro
duction of American citizens into the SER
vice of the country.
No place in the Nation is more admir-
ably adapted for this purpose than Goat
Island. Although land station, 1t is
sufficiently far removed from the main
land to make its efficiency and discipline
perfectly effective, and while this end is
being served all the facilities of large
city Immediately at hand can be enioyed
The climate is excellent, and diseases of
local origin could be rendered impossible.
as the island is high and the drainage
perfect. the bay offers perfect practice
ground, and there is ample room on the
island for land drill.
The putting of the island to some such
use would effectualty extinguish the dan
ger of its being secured by some great pri-
vate corporation which may happen to
enjoy the special favor of the Govern
ment. Ii Congress passes a funding bill
the act would be a betrayal of such a
spirit of friendliness to the Southern Pa
citic as would endanger Goat Island. Had
it not been for the vigorous fight which
San Francisco made against the PROPOSE
ton some years ago to turn over the ISL
and to the Southern Pacific for terminal
purposes its usefulness TO the Government
would have come to an end. 1t might be
well, by the way, to keep in mind the ex-
cellent results which that opposition pro-
duced, in view of the necessity for an
equally vigorous campaign against the far
more important proposition of the funding
bill.
