WILL 1T GET THERE ?

l IS evident to the most superficial observer that
the Examiner interprets the result of Mondays
election Endorsement of its 100000 "adver-
Using" contract with the Southern Pacific Company
Its assumption of the airs of conqueror whose will
must now be law, is plainly founded upon an unc-
uous consciousness that the people of San Francisco
have formally declared by ballot in favor of restoring
if to the payroll from which it was struck by Mr.
Huntington when in 1894, while endeavorng to get
increase OF subsidy, it went over to the railroad
strikers.
1t is also evident that the famous boodler does not
intend to neglect the advantage it assumes to have
obtained. With the experienced eye of practiced
journalistic brigand it has selected street railway
franchises as the weak spot in the ramparts of the
corporation treasures. 1t knows that during the
next few years many of the lines owned by the Mar
ket street company will be compelled to apply to the
Board OF Supervisors for extension of their
privileges renewal OF these franchises will be
worth great deal OF money to the corporation, and
il the Doodle sheet tie them up in the charter
with strong rope it knows that it can obtain a
very large advertising" contract for selling out at
some subsequent time.
As preliminary to its campaign the cunning
sheet that no one except itself is going to
be permitted to advise the Freehoders in charter
matters The it gives is that any advice rendered
by the other papers is proceed from corpor-
alton But we doubt whether the Freehold
elect will take the view of their duties foreshad
owed by the Mission street felon. OF course it
would greatly comfort that journal to obtain from
the Southern Pacific another $4,000 advertising
contract and it might be agreeable for while to
substitute editorial silence for the present. acri-
monious policy But it is extremely probable that
the Freehoders elect, whatever Interpretation NAV
be placed upon the result of Mondays election bv
the journalistic sllrmisher will decline TO aid it in
getting back upon the railroad payroll Probably
they will be able to protect the public interest in the
new charter without providing the Examiner with a
chance to sell it out at the general election
A provision in that instrument that all franchises
now in existence and the property attached to them
shall become the property of the city upon their ex-
praton, which is advocated by the Mission street
sheet, might force 100000 advertising contract
out OF the Southern Pacific, payable cash down. in
stead of a $4,000 document extending over thirty
months but it cannot be contended that in electing
the Freeholders the people intended they should
create any such opportunity for the Doodle organ.

THE MINERS AND THE JUBILEE.

shows a genuine and cordial sympathy with the
movement

the East that assembled in California on a
single occasion, and the opportunity for all districts
to exhibit their contrasted advantages and varied
resources will be the most profitable the State has
known.
