to this very unsavory subject Of Alameda
street and it's wickedness. It is perfectly
aware of the fact that the theme is not one
affordinQ the most delectable reading, but it
is also cognizant of the other palpable fact
that shutting your eyes to q conflagration
is not calculated to extinguish the same.
1t was perfectly plain to The HERALD be-
fore it took up the matter in hand, that
there has been either an evasion of official
duty or an abuse of official power; that a
wrong of some kind has been resting on
another wrong. And it is the duty of a
public journal to expose wrong, whenever
and wherever it is discerned. The un-
pleasantness of duty does not
excuse its non-performance, and society
cannot afford to refuse to consider an
offense because in doing SO it is necessary
to recognize certain details that are dis
tasteful. When prudery or modesty
reaches the point of ignoring or tolefating
wrong because it is too nasty to notice, So
ciety is endangered. The human race has
already suffered too long and too much
from that kind of goouness that is afraid
to deal frankly with the evils that wreck
individuals mentally, morally and physic-
ally and the corruptions that destroy gov
ernments and disorganize society. Neither
private nor public sin is vanquished except
in battle.

THE POLITE WORLD

The Rev. and Mrs. John A. B. Wilson, in
conjunction with the congregation of the
First NJ. E. church, gave brilliant recep-
ton at the home of the pastor on South
Hill street, last night, in celebration of Mr..
and Mrs. Wilson's twenty-fifth wedding
anniversary. The spacious house and even
it's porches were thronged from early in the
evening until a late hour with friends eager
to extend congratulations and best wishes
to the bride and groom of twenty-five
years. The ceremony last night was per-
formed by Presiding Elder Green of the
Los Angeles division, which was followed
by prayer from Presiding Elder Caswell
of the San Diego division. Rev. Jewell
gave the opening address and spoke in
feeling and complimentary terms of the
couple who stood before him and whom he
knew in their childhood. DIR. Beck spoke
recitation by Miss Willis which was
a rare treat, as her selections
are always most appropriately chosen and
given in finished style. A congratula-
tory poem by Rev. c. P. Swaine was read by
Miss Oliver. There was vocal solo by
posed and read by Miss Abby Mills. and a
selection by the choir concluded the pro-
gram. Rev. and Mrs. Wilson entered the
room which was entirely in white and
green to the wedding march played by
Mrs. Ogilvie. The room was a bewildering
mass OF Wnlte roses tnat we're DaUkeu OH
the mantel and clusters held to the side bv
bows of broad, white satin ribbon. Smilax
ran over the walls and doorways. In the
center of the room was round table
which was completely covered with orange
blossoms and white roses. Embedded in
the flowers on the mantel we're the dates,
March, 1S7l-1s96. The doorways of the
hall were each finished with a grill-work of
roses, and pendent from the one nearest the
entrance to the hospitab!e home was the
word "Greetings.' The double parlors
contained wealth of roses, from white to
delicate tints of pink, and in the dining
room pink was used exclusively. The
roses were held in large cluster in the
center of the table, and reaching over
these from the corners of the table and ex-
tending to the chandelier were pink satin
ribbons, each edged with twenty-five tiny
silver bells. Pink roses covered the man
tel and buffet and we're in every place of
vantage. There were many costly and
beautiful presents, it's congregation re-

A Timely Warning

The Los Angeles HERALD warns the
Democrats of that county to be sure and
send delegation to the state convention
that will refuse to recognize Buckley's
delegates. should he send delegation
from San Francisco. The HERALD is right
in sounding note of warning thus early,
for the votes of some of the Los Angeles
members at the recent state committee
meeting appeared to be in the interest of
the blind boss. 1t would be better for the
Democrats to lose the state this year with
out the aid of Buckley than to win with
his assistance. VIsalia Daily Times.

THE disintegration of the French cabinet
has probably commenced. The question
of what to do about that British advance
up the Nile is liable to prove one potent
for the creation of discord in the ministry.
And. indeed, France is placed in an en-
berrassing predicament. IF she acquiesces
in Englands designs, she practically abdi-
Gates the control of Egypt to Eng
land, and of course measurabiy impairs
her prestige in Europe. Ii she resists the
British plan she may be obliged to do
something that she is not ready to do and,
in fact, is not desrous of doing, go to war.
Her opposition carried to the point of hos
tilities would operate to cement the alIi-
ance between Great Britain and the drei-
bund and she would ha> o before long an
invincible power to contend with.

The organization of formidable move
ment to secure an enforcement of the
prohibition law in Kansas is tantamount to
a confession that the law has not been as
strictly abided by as SO many of it's advo-
Gates have claimed. If the law was really
popular no such movement would be
needed. There is little difficulty in secur-
ing an enforcement of law that the
masses deep down in their hearts approve
of. A law is as strong but no stronger than
the public sentiment back of it.

GRAIN RATES REDUCED.
Competition Accomplished What
the Railroad Commission
Was Unable to Do.
Old and New Figures Showing the
Reductions-Further Changes Ex-
p9cted in the Future.

1t is now but little more than year
since the Valley ROAD began active con-
struction work. yet it has already become
an important factor in rate-making in the
section through which it lis designed to
operate.
Relief was promised the farmers in at
least portion of the San Joaquin Valley
this year, and that promise has been kept
by the directors of the competing road. A
schedule of grain rates was put in the
other day, making considerable reductions
from those in operation on the lines of the
Southern Pacific Company, and this
action of the Valley road has now been
met by cut on the part of the Southern
Pacific Company, which up to the present
time has had an absolute monopoly of the
carrying business throughout the San
Joaquin Valley.
When the attention of Charles F. Smurr,
the general freight agent of the Southern
Pacific Company, was called to the reduced
rates of the competing line, and he was
asked what his company proposed to do in
the after, he remarked:
eve are transportation company and
our business is to carry freight. We shall
simply have to meet any cut made by the
opposition, as we do not propose to be
driven out or business"
In accordance with this policy, new and
reduced grain schedule has been put into
operation by the Southern Pacific Com
pany. In the following table the new and
old rates are given, the figures being IN
cents per ton OF 1000 pounds. The rates
are FOR carloads of o minimum weight of
"a, 900 pounds, and apply only to the points
mentioned in the schedule. This is the

beaten but for blunder on the palt of
their competitors, who mistook the co1rse
and were declared out of the contest, Civ
ing the race to the crippled boat.
A number of other odd and amuiing
things occurred. During race In witch
the boats were being pulled backward
with the rudder unshipped small sallioat
handled by one man capsized and the
leading craft in the race went out OF ,he
course and rescued the person f1ounoer-
ing in the water. In their generosity tley
lost the race.
There were several tub races, in which
the rowers made the most grotesque eftots
to urge their bobbing, whirling, clursy
craft through the water. The winner d s.
tanced his competitors by reaching olt
ahead of his tub with his broad paddle
and pulling the water toward him.
Several of the races were contests whe'e
shoyels were used instead of oars, and
Indian canoe-fashion the tough-armd
lads padded their heavy boats along.
There were a number OF swimming con-
tests in which the boys acquitted them
selves quite creditably; also punt sculline
and greasy spar walking, iii the last OF
which the competitors quite often tum-
bled into the bay.

OUTING OF BR|TISHER
A Rowing Regatta Held
Among the Vessels at
SauSalito.
The Crew of Head Boat Goes to the
Rescue of a Caps sized Craft
and Loses.

Yesterday the British sailor boys in
port had a<picnic at Sausalito, an aquatic
picnic as beftting the profession. The
sturdy young fellows rowed boats, padded
tubs, walked creased spars and did other
comical things for cash prizes.
1t was the occasion of a play.day given
by the captains of the English vessels here
and at Sausalito to their crews Several
hundred dollars was collected among the
masters and given as prizes TO the victors
in the boating contests and different games
The following ships, which are mostly
all anchored off Sausalito, sent their crews
to compete in the races: Orion, Hyders.
bad, Wynnstay, Morven, Almora, Kill
meny, Ditton, Brabloch, Lyndhurst, Ec-
clefechan, Veraiean, Leyland Brothers,
Beech bank, Hahnemann, HOLLYWOOD.
Iverna, Loeb Broom and Primrose Hill.
All of the vessels, especially the flagship
Orion, were handsomely decorated with
bunting. The title of flagship was given
her out of regard 20 the fact that her skip
per, Captain Croudace. was master of cere-
monies.
The big Orion was atiame with her sig
nal colors, from flying boom end to peak
and from yard to yard. Three or four
hundred visitors were assembled on her
decks, with a brass band to keep them
com pany.
One of the most interesting contests was
race between the captains of ships lying
at Sausalito and the shippers of vessels at
San Francisco. The former were: Crcudace
of the Orion as cockswaila, Kiddy of the
Rrabloch, Walker of the Falklandb bank.
Newson of the Hahnemann and McBryde
of the Wynnstay. The San Francisco
team were: Boyd of the Doom as COCK
swain, Garrock of the Ellisland, Buchanon
OF the Beechbank, Morrill, of the Vereiean
and Bailey OF the Leyland Brothers.
The boats started away with the eight
British captains tearing up the water with
their oars. On the second 100 yards of the
course an oar in the Sausalito boat
snapped in two pieces. This left three
rowers to contend against the other boats
four The luckless rover instantly faced
forward on his thwart and put his strength
on the single oar that was pulling against
the other bank.
However, the loss of the oar handi-
capped the boat, and it would have been
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-28

This is designed simply to cover the ter
ritory from which the Valley road expects
to haul grain this season.
No notice of the new rates was sent to
the office of the Railroad Commission, nor
was copy of the schedule filed with that
body, as had been the custom previous to
the beginning of the suit now pending in
the Federal court to test the powers OF the
commission.
Similar reductions throughout the valley
will follow as fast as the Valley road is
completed to important points, for its rates
will in every instance be lower than those
prevailing, and the Southern Pacific Com
pany will be in self-protection bound to
follow the lead of its enterprising COM
petitor.
1t will be a fight between a corporation
free from watered stock and inflated issues
of bonds, and one top-heavy with interest
and dividend bearing liabilities.
