HAVE DONE NOTHING. YET.

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-The general pas senger agents of the Western roads were in session to-day, considering the best methods of carrying on the war against the Canadian Pacific road. They did not reach any conclusion and will resume their deliberations to-mor- row. strong feeling developed in fa- vor of putting in the cut rates through the Missouri River gateway as well as through the St. Paul. The probabili- ties are that it will go in through both gateways. Having secured the suspen- sion of the long and short haul clause of the interstate commerce act. the American roads think they can con- serve intermediate rates without con- fining the cut to any particular routes. They propose to do this by selling tickets on the rebate plan, charging the passenger an amount sufficient to pre- vent him using through tickets to in- termediate territory and refunding him the difference when he arrives at his destination. This is the plan rec commended by the committee.

The First Cut Here.

To-day the Canadian Pacific makes the first open move to localize the rate war by selling through tickets from this city to New York, via steamer to Vic toria, for $40 first class and $30 second class. This is a reduction of $39 first class and $37 50 second class on the rates in operation before the northern lines started quarreling among them selves
 ce-President Stubbs of the Southern Pacific, when seen yesterday, seemed disinchned to think that his company would take any part whatever in the war 'If this move of the Canadian Pacific is a bluff it is a mighty good one" he said tThe Canadian Pacific is in the position of a man shooting at a barn door, while we, if we attempted retaliation, would only be shooting at a mark the size of Scent piece. The travel that we would get by the same sort of a move in their territory that they have started in ours would not come anywhere near making up to us the loss we would sustain"

THE MASK THROWN OFF.

| The San Francisco Examiner" with
iH-eoncealed glee and in full-faced
type, says that the result of the elec-
tion in Maine the other day, which 1t
claims shows a great falling off in
the Republican strength, must have
been a painful surprise to the Admin
istration. 1t adds that the falling off
in the vote is probably due to the
revelations concerning the military
camps, for among those who suffered
was Maine regiment
This statement and unwarranted in
ference discloses the wolf beneath the
lambs pelt We have all along said
that the motive inspiring the obstruc-
tionist press in exaggerating the af-
fiictions of camp and campaign life is
that of the low partisan, unscrupulous
in everything that plays to the
advantage of party. The political en-
emies of the Administration counted
from the outset upon the sickness in
camp and the loss in field as weaponry
ASA POA4elCeiI pun pOSSS.
The expression Of the Examiner
clearly exposes the truth that the op-
position press counted upon the ma
dcious Misrepresentation and absurd
exaggerations concerning the condition
Of the soldiers in camp and field to
do politics" against the Administra-
ton. All along these mendacious
sheets have protested that patriotism
and humane sentiment alone inspired
them, but now the chief among them
gives the snap away"
But concerning the Maine election the
truth is there was nothing in the cam
paign in that State to draw out a large
vote. There was too feeble a contest
on the part of the Democrats to leave
any room for doubt concerning the out
come, and certainty of victory tended
to make Republicans apathetic. So far
as the suffering of a Maine regiment
was concerned, it has been conclusiyelv
SHOWN that the recital was off of the
same cloth as the other exaggerations,
and that whatever any Maine troops
suffered was natural, expected and
probably inevitable.
Unhappily for the Examiner" the
falling off in the Maine vote was rela-
lively heavier among Democrats than
republicans, fact which the San
francisco paper carefully avoided dis
closing. The total State vote was about
oo'oO0, as compared with $4,000 two
years ago. The Democrats cast about

ticket has from 10000 to 25,OOO plural

that it cut and come again when it
has assurance that its allegation of
fact has truth behind 1t.

those who favor a straight Peoples
party may vote accordingly.
Being ministerial officer and not q
judicial. I shall not go into the law
bearing upon the matter in issue, ex-
cept to refer to a decision by the Su-
preme Court of Michigan, which I be-
lieve to be based upon facts analogous
to those involved in this proceeding:
Mcbride VS.. Election Commissioners
decided April 1, 1897, by Supreme
Court of Michigan. In this case the
Democratic, Peoples party and Union
Silver parties met in separate conven-
tions in Grand Rapids. the same day
Desiring to fuse, the delegates of the
three parties, with the exception of a
minority of the Peoples party, later
united IN one convention and made
nominations, at the same time taking
the name of Democratic-Peop
i Union Silver ticket The proceedings
were very similar to those of the two
conventions OF the Peoples party held
IN sacramento, July II to IA, 1898.
In Michigan, as in California, Confer
ence Committees on Fusion were ap-
pointed. In this State only one con-
/ Ventlon was in session, but Confer
ence Committees representing and act
ing for the Democratic party and the
Silver Republican organization were
| present. made the fusion bargain which
was subsequently ratified by conven-
| ton of the two last mentioned polit-
lcal parties. The compound party name
| Will appear upon the ballot in Cali
fornia if fusion stands, even where
| separate certificates are filed, similar
to the union name adopted by the
three parties in Michigan in one con-
Vention assembled. The minority in
Michigan did the same as the minority
OF the Peoples party in California,
namely, reorganized a convention in
regular form and nominated a straight
Peoples party ticket. In the Michigan
case the certificate of the Peoples party
| straight was presented to the Election
commissioners, and they refused to flle
| the same. Said Commissioners con-
tended that the Peoples party fusion
was the regular party. A writ of man
| GATE was asked for on behalf of the
Peoples party straight, which was is
sued, and the Supreme Court after a
nearing granted the writ, commanding
the certificate of the Peoples party
straight to be filed. The difference be-
| tween the form Of the ballot in Mchi-
| gan and California is that in the former
state each party is entitled to a COL
umn, While in this State the names are
ALPHABETICALLY arranged, with party
designations opposite the name on the
same line. The principle involved here
Is identical with that in the Michigan
case Political parties in fusing on
State candidates under the Australian
ballot law in California create a new
pohtlcai entity and disintegrates all
former political entities participating
in the fusion.

THEY DO NOT COMMENT.

The dispatches announce, and the
| correspondence of the Eastern papers
is of the same tenor, that the wise ad-
ministration of General Wood, Mill
tary Governor of Santiago de Cuba,
has reclaimed that filthy, neglected city
from a state of fearful unhealth, until
it's sanitary condition Is now extraor-
dinarily good. The daily death rate
has fallen from seventy-six a month
ago to twenty, and sickness among the
troops and people has declined until
it is now no longer abnormal. This
is all due to the application and en-
forcement Of those ordinary sanitary
| regulations which obtain among ad-
vanced peoples.
But the sensational press has moth
ing to say about this fine record. The
obstructionist press is dead silent over
the fact that the health of the troops
under General Wood at Santiago is
good, and that such sickness as there
is among them is not abnormal. dan
gerous or out of the usual in any re-
spect. But let a really sick soldier be
discovered in some camp, and the OBJ
structionists roar loudly about 1.-The
awful responsibility attaching to the
Administration, and the mismanage-
ment that, it is alleged, characterizes
the government of the army under the
President. In the one case there is
supposed partisan political advantage
to be gained by the opposition press,
and In the other there is the exact
truth and fair credit to be given, with
out political gain being kept in view.

THE MORTALITY QUESTION
AGAIN.
The Tulare Register" says:

The Tulare Register" says:
1t is rather a strong case which the
Record Union" makes when it shows
that the mortality of the United States
troops in arms is only at the rate of
PIG per 1000 per year. while the death
rate Of the entire population for the
cities mentioned is as follows: Chicago
20.2, London 212 Boston 23.5, Sacra-
mento 81. Yet the Record Union
should not forget that the mortality of
these cities include infancy and old
age, whereas our soldiers were picked
men in the prime of life. 1t is not
incumbent upon friends of the Admin
istration to show that there was no
mismanagement anywhere, for there
doubtless was. Indeed, With new men
and new officers picked up out Of civic
life, without military experience, there
scarcely could avoid being much in
competency. The only duty of good
citizenship and good journalism is to
protest against exaggeration and the
condemnation Of men without a hear
ing. There is to be a searching investi-
cation, and all good citizens will hold
their judgment in reserve until an off,
cial investigation has been made and a
report filed.
The Record Union" did not forget.
It had that which the Register" sug-
gests fully in mind. But it considered
that as against old age and infancy in
the cities, and the exceptional mortal
ity of congested populations, there are
the exceptional conditions to which
these picked men" of the volunteer
army are subjected. These offset the
exceptional conditions of age, infancy
and invalidism in cities.
For instance, the picked man" IS
taken from his course Of habit and in
troduced to a system to which he is
a stranger in the matter of food, cloth
ing and sleeping accommodation. He is
subjected TO unusual and severe exercise.
He finds his daily habits completely
changed. His personal independence
is largely broken down, and besides he
is tempted to excesses which but slight
" appeal to him when in busy every
day life. He is, If transported to a
foreign land, subjected to every risk
involved by change Of climate, water
and general environment.
In the late war he was taken into
the tropics, prostrated by intolerable
heat in humid atmosphere, exposed
to malarial influences Of the most vi
cious character compelled by the exi-
gencies of the battlefield TO sleep often
IN the open air upon the soaked ground
beneath the downpour of heavy rains.
All the habits of his life were broken
up. and his system subjected tc such
changes and sxactions that the wonder
is so few felr before disease and ex-
haustion as really did. The exception
al conditions are far greater in the
case Of the volunteer soldier than those
in cities due TO the massing Of many
aged people and many infants and in
valids.

The news" sent out by the Eastern
reporters concerning the Judgment Of
the President and his Cabinet as to
what our claims shall be for retention
of the Philippines, in whole or in part,
are so conflicting, in some cases so
absurd, and are so variable from day
to day, that we are driven to the con-
cIusion that the reporters know no more
about what the President wishes, has
determined, or will direct thaa we do.
The safe thing to do is to turn a deaf
ear TO all these stories as to the Pres
ident's intentions. He will make them

THE FLOOD BENEFACTIoN.

The gift of between two and half

one and will add greatly to the wealth
and the capacity of that institution.
The benefaction is the more generous
that it has not been heralded, comes
modestly, without onerous conditions,
and is in the nature of a surprise. 1t
is the desire Of the donor that the pro-
ceeds of the gift shall be devoted to
the enlargement and betterment OF the
commercial educational facilities OF the
,,,,versstv. 1t thus takes on very
practical form, and will be received
for that reason by the general public
