depreciation belongs that later device
for cinching railroads and forcing them
into politics and law suits And ex-
cept in aid Of the specific powers and

sion, the Constitution itself says to the
Legislature, Hands OFF,
Still another bill appropriates $780,,
900 for experts and costs, in addition
to $4,000 demanded by attorneys, for
their valuable services and stump
speeches in the injunction case. 1t is
the old anti-railroad racket of sacred
memory, over and over, again and
again. 1t illustrates the double pur-
pose of predatory and unconstitutional
raids on the railroad, to force them into
courts and then employ lot of CO.

cinch the State.
THE BOARD OF TRADE PLAN.
Santa Rosa Republican: We are
surprised at the Chronicle" opposing
the plan suggested by members of the
State Board of Trade for getting the
facts of California fairly before the
world. 1t is the only good and legiti-
mate way of doing this work-a work
everyone must admit should be done.
Nothing now goes out officially in re-
gard to the resources of the State and
the projects put on foot here CONNER
cially and industrially. Other States
issue official documents that have great
weight with people seeking homes OF
investments. They find it profitable to
do this. With untold resources and OPP
pOrtunities, California should make use
Of the era of returning prosperity by
advertising the advantages of the State
in most thorough and effective manner.
We think the plan proposed has many
| advantages and hope it will have the
support OF the Governor
THE WHEELMEN AND SUNDAY.
Dixon Tribune: We regret to note
that there is prospect of a division of
the League Of American Wheelmen on
the question of Sunday race meets and
that the secederS are Western men
The stand taken by the Eastern ma
jOrity is the only one that can be de-
Tended as there is no earthly excuse
for Sunday meets in California, where
there is as much opportunity for week
day amusement as in the East. We
believe, too, that the Sunday racing
faction has not correctly represented
the sentiment Of the coast wheelmen,
as outside of few of the larger cities
it is our belief that the league riders
are against Sunday meets and will lend
their influence to discourage them.
GAME LAW.
The CaliStog2n: There is no neces-
sity for extending the close season for
trout, but it is essential if that fish is
TO be preserved in our streams that no
one be permitted to hook trout under
say six inches in length. 1t is the whole
sale killing of fingerlings that depletes
the streams and eXhausits the annual
stock.

THE INDIANAPOLIS CONFERENCE

The proceedings so far OF the Indian
apolIs monetary conference show great
diversity Of opinion among It's members
as TO the best way to reform our banking
and currency system. This was 10 DC eN-
pectod, and Is not In Itself discourasihB'
The subject is n big enc, and mas many
sides, and the influences that shape the
views OF the advocates OF the severai
schemes Of reform that have been broach-
cd are varied. Moreover, general agree
ment on any one plan has, as we unoer-
stand II. never been looked for the con-
ference was called to give light and re-
celve light. and pave the way for inteih-
gent financial legislation on the part oil
Congress.
we know that there is a disposition III
some quarters to treat the conference rs
an academic affair entirely. 1t is con-
tended that the manner in which the ke-
publicans have forced the tariff TO the
front, to the subordination Of the currency
question especially, discredits completely
the suggestion that the proceedings Of the
conference will make any impression upon
the dominant party in Congress. we
are free to confess that we fear there Is
a great deal in this contention. Yet there
was one concrete truth uttered In the
conference Tuesday which gives us hope.
That truth was the declaration OF j.
Harson Rhoades. representing the Chah-
Der Of Commerce Of New York, that II
the country was allowed much longer 10
hold the present financial course, disaster
and wreck would certainly result" our
hone does not lie in confidence that the
Republicans will accept this dictum out
OF hand. but in the fact that If Congress
does not soon address itself TO currency
reform. conditions must so fortify MT
Rhoades's position as that the Republican
party. in order to self-preservation. VIII
be forced TO remedy the evils OF the eA-
listing banking system. In other Worus'
we do not believe that the Republicans III
Congress will break away from RepuDh-
can traditions in respect of finance until
compelled to do so by an Irresistible
ponular demand for a change, which de-
mand shall be based upon n recognition
Of the truth Mr.. Rhoades so tersely stated.
Rut at the same time, we think there are
increasing signs every day that that de-
mand will be forthcoming.

VIEW MARKET FOR RICHMOND.

Under the caption, "A Possible New
direction Of Trade" the stanton News
INDUCES in some observations that shouid
set Richmond merchants TO thinking ana
acting. After expressing the opinion that
the breaking up of the Valley Branch OF
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and the
consequent interference with long-estao-
l,shed trade relations with Baltimore,
oupht to result in bringing closer to-
eether that section and Richmond ana
the Virginia seaports. the News adds
'If our people can be served as tho
roughly and as faithfully by our eastern
brethren i'm our own State there Is 10
reason. except regret at breaking the
ties OF old friendships, why we should
not prefer business with the people OF our
own State"
speaking for Richmond. we would say
that there is not the slightest doubt that
she can serve the Stanton section as
thoroughly and as faithfully as can any
other city in the Union. Our wholesale
and iobbing houses and our manufac-
turers can sell goods TO the trade OF
Staunton and vicinity as cheaply deliver
them as quickly, and extend a good class
of BUYERS as much accommodation as can
similar interests in Baltimore or any
where else.
But we are glad to note that our
stanton contemporary does not stop with
the presentation of the case above quoted.
Continuing, il says:
everything that tends to build up the
Industries and that adds to the material
wealth Of any part of our State, and
esDecially that part with which we are IN
so close communication by rail, Is matter
for rejoicing with us, and, financially
tends also TO our own upbuilding we
have common burdens of taxation 10
share. and it should appeal TO our selfish
interests to encourage the development OF
every portion Of our State. in order that'
proportiOnately our burdens may De
lightened. If the profits on our outside
trade 60 to people of our own state IN
stead of to people outside of the State,
provided the cost TO US is no more than
we have always paid, we ought every
time TO give the preference to the people
of our State"
Again. the News declares that nothing
would delight ii more than to see the
eastern cities of Virginia grow to hand
some proportions. and concludes its arti-
Gle as follows:
Their wealth is bound to overflow on
us in countless ways. 1t seems TO us IL
should be our policy TO cultivate closer
relations with our sister cities to the
east OF us. That they have been little
slow to see the advantages to be derived
from interchange Of traffic with this
wealthy section of the State. should be
no bar to our cultivating friendly rela-
lions i'm that direction. Let Us give notice
to them that we are always ready for
a good thing"
The broader argument. so TO speak, Of
the News. as embodied in the two para
graphs last quoted from it, is not only
eminently sound and practical but
eminently patriotic. The concluding SEN
tence of our contemporary is in the ma
ture Of a challenge which Richmond
should not fail to accept; which, indeed.
she may accept with perfect confidence.

HOW Is HANNAH

If the sometime vcracious newspapers
Of the North are to be credited, the Hon.
Mark A. Hanna is badly off. Not pecur
niarily; oh, no, none of that, but physi-
cally.
1t is said that he has wel-nigh wrecked
his health getting Mckinley nominated
and elected, and trying to find suitable
men who would agree TO serve in the
Presidents Cabinet.
If Hanna is really upset in health, we
are sorry for him. He has done the
country about as much harm as any man
i'm it, but we could take no pleasure in
his suffering. And If he should have to go
off to take long rest, who would run
the new administration? Who would
run the country? Possibly Tom Reed
might do it; but, Mr.. Mckinley would
hesitate to call for Toms services. Ger
tainly Mckinley would miss Hanna.
Hanna has been his faithful and devoted
friend. and there could be no such thing
as fully supplying his place.
Let us hope that Mark will be able to
pull himself together soon. McKinleys
Inauguration ceremonies could not but
be a dull and uninteresting affair without
his presence.

All the day the roar of traffic and the
clang Of toll
Have Jared the air within the city's
bound;
But with the fall Of night has ceased the
fierce turmoil,
And hushed to peace is all the war Of
sound.
And faint and far, across the dreamy
moonlt land.
Comes TO the listening ear the music
sweet
OF FLASHING waves that ceaseless kiss the
distant sand,
The song Of love where earth and ocean
meet.
And so, dear love. my heart doth ever
sing of thee
The sordid sounds of day may drown
the strain
But deep and tender as the murmur Of
the sea,
With night and silence makes the
sweet refrain.
