A FREE MARKET.

A bill has been introduced into the
Legislature by Senator Hall providing for
the establishment and maintenance of a
free public market on the water front of
| this City, and we have, therefore, chance
to obtain this long-desired and much
needed public improvement.
The bill requires that the Harbor Com
missioners shall set apart a sufficient
number of docks on the water 'front.' con-
| tiguous to each other, for the reception of
| all perishable products, including fruit,
vegetables, eggs, poultry, game, dairy
| products and fish, coming into San Fran
cisco, and shall permit the sale there of
such articles by or for account of the
producers only.
Other sections of the bill provide the
details for carrying out the plan, and
seem well adapted for that purpose. The
measure is, therefore, one which on it's
| face is deserving the support of the Legis-
lature, and, while it ought to have care
| ful consideration, so that no mistake may
be made IN the enactment OF such i'm
portant legislation, it should, neverthe-
| less, be free from merely petty criticism or
| ill-founded opposition.
| People of San Francisco have for long
time past had the subject OF free market
under consideration. 1t has been fully
| discussed both in the press and by those
who would be interested in it. and has
everywhere received favor and support.
1t would be an important step in the
| direction of bringing the producer into
close relations with the consumer, and
would, therefore, be benefit to the great
majority OF the people, both of the City
| and of the interior of the State.
There is no reason apparent why there
should be any opposition at all to a
measure which promises to be OF such
| public benefit The bill provides that the
Harbor Commissioners shall assign space
within the free market to all producers of
perishable products, and to all commission
| merchants and agents of producers who
shall make application therefor and agree
! to transact business within the free m arket
| solely for producers account, and under
such regulations as the Harbor Commits
sioners may prescribe. Commission mer-
chants are not to be permitted to occupy
| space to the exclusion of genuine pro-
| ducers, and no rent is to be charged.
These provisions seem to cover the
essential points desired by the people in
the establishment of such a market, and
the bill on the whole appears to be good
| one. 1t has been introduced into the
Legislature in response to a popular de-
mand caused by an urgent need, and is,
therefore, one of the measures now before
| the Legislature which should receive
warm support and be promptly enacted.
The San Francisco call., 1897-01-28

ties IN the Assembly are led with mere
than ordinary parliamentary skill and
business discretion. The actual leader OF
the Republican majority, and therefore
the virtual leader of the Assembly itself,
is Judge Dibble, than whom no abler par
Iiamentary leader exists in the State.
The Democratic and Populist fusion, so
far as it is capable of following leadership
at all, follows that of Caminetti, and is,
therefore, mucn better directed than
minorities have been in times past.
The people Of California can well afford
to have a dull and strictly business ses-
sion of the Legislature this year. The
stuffed payroll has furnished more than
all the scandal and sensation which there
was any demand for. II has served to
attract the attention of the general public
to the Legislature, and been warning to
the legislators themselves to be on their
guard against extravaganza and reckless
ness in tue expenditure of public money.
From this time on the people will be well
satisfied If the Legislature attends closely
to its work and furnishes economy in pub
lie business rather than profusion OF ora
tory.
1t must be borne in mind that the work
in committee is after all the most i'm
portant work which the legislator per-
forms. 1t is by committees that bills are
drafted and put into proper shape to pro-
vide for the welfare of the public, and to
guard against the attacks of the courts.
When the work has been we'll done in
committee the debate and the vote in the
Assem- bly, and the Senate are very little
more than acts of ratification, and hardly
count in the serious work of the session.
How important this committee work Is
may be estimated from the report that up
to date there have been introduced into
the Assembly alone as many as nine bills
dealing with the subject of road improve
ment. This multiplicity of bills referring
to one subject involves the committee in
charge of that subject in the difficult task
of combining and harmonizing them into
one comprehensive measure. Committee
work, therefore, while dull, is in every re-
spect i'm portant, and it is to be noted as
a good sign of the coming results of the
session that the members seem content to
perform this dull work with zeal rather
than to endeavor to make regulations for
themselves by holding long debates and
giving utterance to puncombe oratorys

3" NE, TOO"

A number of the leading Democratic
newspapers of the country are predicting
split in the Republican party, stormy
times for the Mckinley administration,
and general row in the next Congress.
AS rule they offer no reason for these
predictions, but when they do they assert
| that Senator Platr of New York is going
into the Senate to oppose Mckinley, and
that he will lead an anti-administration
faction of Republicans in that body.
The value of these predictions may be
estimated from The credibility of the sole
reason given for them. If any man be-
Heves that Senator Platt is going to start
or 10 encourage faction fight in the Re-
publican party, he has been either very
careless reader of current events, and
knows little of the character of Mr.. Platt,
or else he is utterly untitled to draw con-
clusions from the facts that are known to
him.
Senator Platt long ago received what
WAS then regarded as the disreputable
name of "Me, Too" The name was not
given him for nothing. 1t stuck to him
because it was characteristic of him. He
was follower of Roscoe Conkling, and
in party discipline and he acted upon it.
When the crisis came in the fortunes of
his great leader and of the organization of
his party in his State he did not hesitate
to resign seat in the Senate rather than
to be found false to the discipline which
he honored the leader whom he loved
and the organization which he served.
By holding steadfastly on his course
MIR. Platt has demonstrated his fitness to
cad as we'll as to follow. The name "Me,
Too" has ceased to be one of opprobrium.
1t is now recognized as the name OF man
who can always be counted on to support
his party organization whenever his help
is needed. He is not one who will break
away from the ranks under the strain or
stress of whatever battle may come. He
is not only an advocate but an exemplar
of discipline. He has shown it III the
past, and there can be no question that he
will more splendidly illustrate it in the
future.
Those Democrats therefore who are hop
ing to gain some advantage for their dis
rupted, disorganized and discredited party
by confusion among Republican leaders
in the next four years will be disappointed
so far as their hopes are based upon any
lack of fealty and Loyalty in Senator Platt.
1t is an easy and safe prediction that
whenever the Republican party under the
leadership of Major Mckinley calls upon
the Senate for support of any great meas
ure the Senator from New York will be
found prompt to sustain it and ready to
answer now as he did of old, Count in
me, too"

WORK AT SACRAMENTO.

The legislative session at Sacramento
has thus far been dull except for the one
sensation of the stuffed payroll. This is
not bad sign. Dull sessions are gener-
ally business sessions, and from all reports
this promises to be one of that kind.
The main work of legislation Is neces-
sarily done in committee, where there is
no opportunity for oratory and little
chance for making regulations. 1t is this
committee work which now occupies the
attention of members of both houses, and
it is gratifying 10 note that they are devot.

sensational speeches on the floor of the
Senate or OF the Assembly.

ARBITRATION TREATY.

Some Reasons Why CaJifornia's SenG-
tors Should Oppose 1t.
M. Cooney, the well-known attorney of
this City, has forwarded to United States
Senators Perkins and White a communi-
cation of which the following is copy:
At the suggestion of many citizens of this
State ask you to oppose the ratification of the
so-called arbitration treaty between our Gov
ernment and England now pending in the
Senate Many reasons are assigned for oppos-
ing it and none in favor, save the sentimental
idea of international peace. Opposed to this
comes the suggestion that up to this time we
have succeeded fairly well in that respect.
may add, too, that the United States must de-
pend upon the Nations own strength to main
tain International peace as well as the Monroe
or any other American doctrine. But if a
treaty should be deemed useful why should
our people accept any European monarch as a
final arbitrator? Again, What is there to ar
bitrate 2 II any question should arise at any
time similar TO the Venezuela affair, at
home or upon any other part of the
western aa Continent no trouble would
that particular purpose, and If ii could not be
arbitrated in that summary way surely it
could not be by the terms of a standing treaty,
which must necessarily be more complicated
and more difficult of construction. Suppose
any of the subjects of England in her many
provinces, sucn as Canada, Ireland or any
other people, should declare for independence
and the friends of liberty in this country
should feel it their duty to give them aid and
encouragement, would not the United States
be likely to be dragged into the affair by rea-
son OF this treaty? You see England acquired
by conquest and holds by force many of her
provinces, while the United States acquired
none in that way and holds none by force.
The people OF the colonies did, however,
acquire these United States from England by
force and descendants of that people, the ci,i-
zens OF this Republic, are well able TO maintai
the Independence and integrity of this Nation
within her own borders and before the world
without any alliance with England or any
other European power Thus you will see that
England has nothing to lose by this treaty,
and am unable 10 see where the United States
can gain by it Very respectfully,

1t will be in vain to look for a permanent or
solid trade revival until after the tariff bill
gets on the statute book. AS the bill Will prob
ably touch all the schedules in some degree,
there will be a good deal OF uncertainty in
most of the in terests until the measure passes
into the Presidents hands. This will give
speculative character to most of the business
done in the larger fields in the interval, and
as a consequence the forces OF industrial re-
