SUPERVISOR .LAckMANh.

Ohm LACKMANN, Republican candidate for
InI Supervisor from the Sixth Ward occupies an
enviabe position in the politics OF this city.
Not only has he been renominated by his own party
with unanimity that is remarkable, but even Boss
Phelans job-chasers have been compelled to recog-
nize his public services and ndorse him. This latter
action taken by the Mayors men for self
laudatory purposes; that is to say. Phelan thinks
his Endorsement OF Lackmann will prove conclusively
that in bossing the Committee of One Hundred he
is governed by one motive only-the public veal In
order to make this point he gives away place on
his Superyisoral ticket which he could not have won
for personal friend under any circumstances
We know OF no case in the history OF San Fran
cisco exactly parallel to that OF Supervisor Lack
mann He will have opposition in his ward, and
will be practically unanimously elected Sometimes
hear of the politicians in Eastern States indorslng
candidates for Judges who do not belong to their
party, and often in this State weak men have been
nominated against popular opposing tickets:
but Mr.. Lackmann is the first public official who has
in city State received the compliment OF nomina-
ton by all parties for desirable office.
This fact is important III view of the circumstance
that Supervisor Lackmann is Republican and the
creation of the Republican party His record in the
Board OF Supervisors shows that in political matters
he is partisan and believes that Republican prin-
ciples ought to control in government. He has not
supported Mayor Phelan's administration in every
thing though in he has acted with that
official.
The statement of Phelans committee Super-
vsors therefore that they have Endorsed him because
he has supported the Mayors ob-chasing band of
patriots during the past two years, is untenabe. The
real motive of Lackmanns Endorsement was to steal
from the Republican party good official one whose
record shows that if Republican Board of Super
vsors is elected this year there will be end OF the
boodling and chcanery which has made majority
of the present board-every one OF whom was named
by Mayor Phelan-odious to the public
But this theft must not be allowed. John Lackmann
is Republican, and the credit for the record which
assured his reelection under any and all circun-
stances belongs to him and his party. Phelan can
not steal scrap of it. His jobchasers must stand
upon their records. Last year when the Mayor
ousted the Shty Eight he hesitaed to appoint Lack
mann to the new board AT that time he averse
to rewardng faithful Republican and making pot-
cal capital for who might some time beat a
Democrat for Office 1t only after much pressure
had been exerted that Lackmann's appointment was
assured. Now, however when his own fortunes are
stake the little boss ready to steal the Supervisor
from the Republican party: But he cannot do it,

JUSTICE BARRY'S DECISION.

I JUSTICE BARRY'S decision in the case of
81 Costley versus the Wells Fargo Express Com
- pany is published in another column. this morn
ing and will be found profitable reading for all who
have been compelled by the company to pay the war
revenue tax upon merchandise shipped through their
express Justice Barry decides that the company it
self must pay the tax, and thereby sustains the posi-
ton taken by Mr.. Costey and gives judgment in his
favor.
The victory thus gained by Mr.. Costley is vic
tory for the community at large 1t is "a complete
vndication of the of The Call in the fight it
has made against the unjust demands of the express
company upon the public. Every contention Of The
Call in the contest has been sustained, The company
has had any right to shr the burden of taxa
ton from itself to the general public and in doing
so has been violating the law as we'll as imposing
upon its patrons -.
The decision of Justice Barry is in line with all
precedents in the When the question was first
raised by the attempt Of the express companies of the
East to shirk their taxes the Attorney General rem
dered opinion adverse to the claims OF the corpor
atons. Since then Judge Tuley of Chicago has also
construed the law against them In fact the express
companies have neither precedent nor authority to
sustain them in their practice of extortion upon the
public and all the money they have gained in this
way has been acquired by what is but little better in
practice and no better in morals than petty larceny
1t is thing for the people to know their rights
and another to maintain them Many persons submit
to petty mpositions and extortons on the part Of
powerful corporations rather than to take the risks Of
fighting them Every citizen, therefore, who makes,
contest for the right deserves the most cordial COM
mendation from his fellow citizens Mr. Costley has
merited something more than words OF congratula-
ton this morning. He has made good fight for the
public and, thanks to the answering judicial hon
esy of Justice Barry which not to be shaken by
the fear of powerful corporation, he has VIC
tory that will be OF benefit to the whole community

GETTING TO WORK AT ONCE.

Unless something unforeseen lntervenes; Chief
i Engineer Story of the San Francisco: and San
- Joaquin Valley Railroad will set out during the
coming week to inspect the territory through which
the projected line from Bakersfield to Los Angeles
will pass 1t is expected this preliminary work will be
completed in about two weeks, and Immediately
thereafter corps of surveyors will take the field to
survey the route.
Ii will be seen from this there is to be delay in
pushing forward the line that is to connect the Val
ley Road with the railroad system Of the: southern
part of the State thus providing transcontinenal
road to break the Southern Pacific monopoly and
give to the industries and the trade Of the State the
advantages that accrue from competitive Transports
ton facilities. 1t may be regarded assured that the
rapid work done in constructing the road through
the San Joaquin will be duplicated in the enter
prise as far the conditions OF the country will per-
NIT and that the day of CALIFORNIA; emancipation
from railroad domination is at hand.

OUT of the anti-raroad sentiment Of the people at this
uncture With the completion of the connecting line
from Bakersfield the Southern Pacific monopoly will
be thing OF the past and will longer be issue
in politics any more than an oppression in business.
What the politicians failed to achieve after years of
talking and speech making will have been accom-
plished by company of business men, and the long
wished for new era will be at hand
In the meantime, while preparations for the sur
vey of the line to Los Angeles being made, the
work of constructing the extension Of the Valley
Road itself from Stockton to Point Richmond is
going briskly forward Energy is the order of the
day and is rapidly working out the salvation of the
State.

AN ULTIMATUM NEEDED.

c PAIN, according to the reports that come from
\ Europe, is not yet that she has been
~ thoroughly beaten in She does not recog-
nze that the United States has the power to dictate
the terms which peace shall be established Her
Commissioners at the peace conference have been in
structed to make claims of such nature it is
clear the American Commissioners cannot agree to
them and the inevitable inference is that her officials
hope prolong the negotiations indefinitely for
purpose not fully understood.
According to the reports the Spanish Commits
soners will maintain that the United States have not
conquered the Philippines and rightly demand
there nothing beyond port and coaing station
that if Spain has to Withdraw her sovereignty from
the islands she will insist her right to sell all
cept the territory now in military possession that
in all territory surrendered by Spain there shall be
granted special tariff privileges to Spanish textiles
that the power whose sovereignty prevails Manila
shall assume the entire Philippine debt and that the
entire Cuban debt prior to the last revolt shall be
imposed upon Cuba.
While there are grave reasons why the United
States should avoid the annexation of the Philippines
the. Spanish Government cannot be permitted to de-
ternine the issues for Nor we should decide to
retain Manila and the district around the bay of that
port can we agree to pay for it by relieving Spain of
the whole Philippine debt and taking it upon our
selves. Neither consent to impose upon the
Cubans the debts the Spaniards have contracted in
bygone to deray the cost of their attempts to
conquer the people.
With such reports coming from Europe of the ma
ure of the Spanish claims and the attitude of the
Spanish Government, it is not surprising the Pres-
dent continues to hold the army and theAravy in
readiness for the resumption of hosttes. We can
not consent to negotiate the basis of claims so
unreasonable, can we engage in a long and pro-
tracted discussion of them. There will be needed at
the Paris conference an utmatufn. The business
ought to be settled in time for peace to be declared
before Thanksgiving day, and from the hrmness
which has thus far been displayed by the President
there is every reason to believe it will be-

TO RUIN MARKET STREET.

THE CALL OF yesterday published the outlines
OF proposed scheme for providing the lighting
OF Market street without expense to the city, In
brief, the plan involves letting the Market Street
Company poles in the center of the thorough
fare for the operation of overhead trolley line; in
return the company the poles with lights
these to be maintained at its expense.
In other words, San Francisco is to permit and
perpetuate the overhead trolley where it should not
be allowed for instant, is to ruin the great street
in which it is beginning to take renewed pride Hav
ing made sacrifice SO vast that it could not be
puted in money, having fixed blot and menace OF
live wire overhead, having marred the aspect OF the
street above and below destroyed its beauty and
tailed its usefulness by OF hideous iron poles
each separate peril, citizens are to be asked
think they have paid price for the illumination
such as is to be shed over mutated Market street,
1t is a cunning scheme, but it won't work.
There must never be overhead trolley line on
Market street. The best system is one which operates
by underground wires, and on a crowded thorough
fare the overhead style since better is known
and is in successful use should be regarded as out
OF date There is no reason for allowing the Market
Street Company to spoil the property along which
it has double line OF cable tracks When the time
shall for change to electricity, let it the
condus it already has to place the wires where they
cannot impede MAIN, STAY nor spoil the outlook
The poles constitute as grave an objection. The
proposition to despoil Market street of its stately
width by dividing it into two strips with row of
poles between is ridiculous from an artistic stand
point, and dangerous from apractical one With
such obstacles in the road accidents to horses and
vehicles would be continuous while many passenger
hastily leaving would be dazed by sudden con-
tact with castron monument to the castiron nerve
of the Southern Pacific.
We advise Mr. Hewitt, who wakes enthusiastic
the foolish notion to take counsel of his better
judgment People not improving Market street
for the purpose of running it later for the benefit Of
any corporation There will never be there an over
head trolley line The privilege could not be pur-
chased and the city is not to be cajoled OF by
plausible talk

glad of it. I have much respect for the

to be the executive of a great city. 1t
seems to me he has proved this.
Perhaps to discuss fashions is out of

same l have noticed with pain that
certain extensively dressed women
have acquired this season the faculty
of making guys of themselves. In
respectable way 1 had wondered why
they do it. My mind goes back to the
days of the monstrous and hideous Gre
clan bend. Then a stylish woman was
a freak. She is trying to be again. I
saw woman on Market street this
week who was so ridiculous figure
that the cable cars ought to have SHE'D
at her. Her waist was pinched until it
left no room for more than a badly
squeezed spine The manner in which
she had shifted her internal mechanism
around was marvel Probably it had
been forced into her chest. for the bust
she carried doomed like the prov of
bay scow. It was not such bust as
God ever gave to mortal. 1t would
have been regarded as an affection, il
real. Yet the woman was proud of it.
although a similar hump on her back
would have been as winsome Below
the waist her hips swelled after the
manner of a balloon. In fact this
creature. who had good looks, had done
all in her power to destroy them. l

quaintance why he did this. The mat
ter is no puzzle to them. "Oh, because"
