money to promote an institution of
greater benefit to that city than to
any other interest that may be in
volved
If the State appropriates the insult
ficient sum of $4,000, it will be con-
elusive answer advanced by private
interests why they should not give.
Whereas, if there is commercial value
in the Omaha exhibition, commercial
concern, always alive to its own inter-
ests, should make the necessary con-
tribution for it's promotion.
California, we repeat, cannot be in
any way properly represented at an
Eastern exposition for any such sum as
is asked. 1t follows, therefore, that
the money would be wasted by reason
Of dilution in use, and fail to produce
any justifying results. Instead of en-
couraging productive and commercial
interests to promote such an exhibf-
ton, it would rather paralyze the eff
fort to raise sufficient money, and
would, besides, create strife among pri-
vate interests to avail of the States s
money, in which contention the State
as a whole would suffer.
California cannot any longer afford
to be represented at any distant ex-
populations and stand second to any of
them. Being more distant than any
other exhibitors from the proposed
show, and exhibiting, if at all, at a
decided disadvantage in the matter of
initial cost, we cannot i'll afford to
do things in a halfway manner. Far
better that we remain out of the af-
fair than to invite comparisons that
would rebound to our injury.
If there should be California exhib-
its at Omaha, let them be the result
solely of individual and commercial
enterprise, and not be made in official
character on the basis of a sum entire
ly insufficient to equip, transport and
stock such a section, if any, as Cali
fornia should have in any exposition
III a Western city.
We repeat, for emphasis, what we
yesterday said, that such exhibitions
as that proposed are hereafter going to
be measured according to their true
status. The features they present
should, as they will be in the future,
be paid for by the manager who takes
the gate money. That management
proposes entertainment and show,
and it should engage its talent pre-
cisely as do other caterers for the
peoples dimes.

TRUCKEE TO TAHOE.
A Company Organized to Construct a
Railroad There

Articles of Incorporation of the
Truckee and Lake Tahoe Railroad
Company were filed yesterday in the
office of the Secretary of State.
The company is composed of Carson,
Oakland and San Francisco capitalists.
A paper of the latter city says they
intend to construct and conduct a
standard-g gauge steam railway for
transportation of passengers and
freight between Truckee and point on
the northern shore of Lake Tahoe, near
Tahoe City. The line is intended to
run on the most practicable route, and
its estimated length is seventeen miles
1t is also designed to erect and main
tain telegraph line along the railway.
to carry on the business of a telegraph
company and to build and operate
steamboats, and other craft for the
transportation of passengers and
freight and for the purposes of .towage
upon Lake Tahoe By this means the
new company expects to make its ter
minus at Tahoe City "a very important
distributing center for towns, settle
mentS and mills surrounding the lake.
The company also makes provision
for buying real estate and the neces-
sary equipment for operating and
building its lines of railway, telegraph
and steamers; and also to borrow mon
ey in such sums as may be necessary
for conducting the enterprise. If re-
quired, bonds will be issued for con-
struction in denominations of not less
than $500 and at rate of interest not
exceeding 10 per cent, but the total
amount of bonds or promissory notes
issued shall not exceed the capital
stock of the corporation.
The principal office of the corporation
will be in San Francisco.
There are five directors, D. l.. Bliss
and w. D. Toby of Carson City, New;
NJ. l.. Requa and I. L. Requa of Oak
land, and w. s. Bliss of San Francisco.
The capital stock is S20S,0OO divided
into 2,0S0 shares Of the par value of
500 each. So far the amount of stock
subscribed is $50, O0O-S1 900 for each
mile of railroad and 500 for each mile
oil telegraph, 10 per cent. of which has
been paid up. ID. l.. Bliss subscribed
for $50 shares and the other directors
for ten shares each.

Where the transcript purportS to

The Spanish deny that war is in
progress in Cuba, because the Cubans
are not recognized as prosecuting any
thing more than an insurrection, conse-
quently captive insurrectionists are
treated as thieves, incendiaries and
then surely there could be no offense
whatever in one of our war ships pay
ing a visit to Havana, since ships Of
war of friendly nations may visit each
others ports at will. On the other
hand, if there is state of war in Cuba
and there is a rebellion prosecuted, if
there are all the usual conditions sur
rounding a condition of warfare, and
our citizens in Cuba are of necessity
exposed to them, and we are at peace
with the force having possession of
Cuban ports, there can be no offense
in our ships of war visiting those ports
and Offering refuge to our citizens who
may wish to avail of it. So, however
viewed, the excuse made by the Ad-
lIliiIlS titatloi dC1tIuil5 W lIc dlS-
patches that to send cruisers to Ha-
vana would be offensive to Spain, is
weak, puerile and unwarranted. Eng
land has ships of war there, German
cruisers visit Havana, even a Russian
ship was lately there. Why should not
they be offensive also in Spain? Eng
land has possessions as near to Cuba
as is the United States. and the Eng

San Francisco has adopted the Sac

now, under severe penalty, forbids spit

Of the Board of Health are out in long
statements giving the sanitary reasons
why the ordinance should be rigidly
enforced. Really 1T should need no san

sense Of common decency and cleanli-

Wherever it clearly appears that the
intention of the Legislature by the Ia
ter Act is to revise the entire subject
matter of the former, the subsequent
Act operates as a repeal of the former,
although it contains no precise words
to that effect. Held, therefore, that
the County Government Act Of 1881
(Stats 1891, p. 314, sec. 60) repealed
Section 4109 of the Political Code as
amended March T. 1881.
Under the statute fixing the COM
nencement and termination of the
terms of county officers it can never
happen that the term consists of pre-
cisely two years, it being sometimes
less; therefore, the provision fixing the
compensation at an annual sum should
be construed as fixing the rate of COM
pensation to be bpaid for the time the
officer actually serves. This conStruc-
ton will do exact justice between the
preceding and succeeding officers, and
not increase the burden to be borne by
the people
