THE BLacksTock RESOLUTION.

ID the adoption OF the Blackstock resolution the
~ Railroad Commission has put itself IN sltud-
- ton from which it can emerge only by one
path There is but official act it perform now
without violating the logic of the postion-only one
step that it take consistently with the record.
That one path open, that act to be performed,
that one step to be taken, is to resign.
The Backstock resolution adopted avowedly
in the interest OF economy. The report upon which
the resolution was based declares expressly that an
effort to enforce freight rate regulations is too costly
to be expedent Referring to the suit involving that
question, which is now before the courts and has
been prosecuted for about three years, the report
says:
Il am further advised as appears by the records
and by the report of the Attorney General to the AS
sernby, that up to the present time there has been
paid and incurred in counsel fees and expenses in this
case more than $4,000, the counsel tees alone
amounting to than $4,000, and 1t further aP-
pears from like sources that the future costs and ex
penses of this litigation will be at least So7ooo $4,000
OF which will be required fees for experts and $780,
900 as fees for special counsel"
So for the sake of saving that amount of money
the commission abandons the cause OF the people,
stufes ITSELF surrenders to the railroad throws TO
the winds all the money and work expended in the
past in making the fight, and then seeks to conceal
from the public the nature OF this betrayal OF
trust by giving it the popular name OF economy
Bad as the thing looks, the people will accept 1t
with fair degree OF favor if the commissioners will
carry their doctrine to a useful conclusion and take
the only logical step left them. There is another
economy to be carried out-the commissioners should
resign and save the taxpayers the expense OF their
salaries.
1t will cost the taxpayers OF California $4,000 Tor
salaries besides incidental expenses to maintain this
Blackstock commission, and since it has now de-
cared itself mpotent and useless far the regu
lation of railways is concerned there is service it
can render the people which will be worth foryeight
cents II the commissioners have any regard for
economy they will resign and turn their unearned
salaries back to the State treasury. If they do not
resign they will give the lie to their own words and
show themselves in sad need of whitewashing.
The taxpayers of California have paid out much
money for the Railroad Commission and have de-
rived no benefit from it. Some former commissions
have tried or at least made pretense OF doing So,
to render service to the people The present commits
sion, however, does not make pretense for
the rider to the BIackstoc resolution providing that
the board shall meet in April to fix and promugate
schedule of grain rates. doesn't amount to pre-
tense In fact the impotence, the worthessness the
nothngness Of the commission, has been reduced to
its final element by the recent act, and the only way
for the Blackstock gang the situation is to
sign and get out OF it.

~ WING to the skirmishing in the Philippines
| and the Senatorial battles in various State
~ capitals the country has to some extent over
looked the legislative grand opera season in Kansas
this winter, and has thereby missed very novel
performances The Kansan troupe seems in fact, to
have been brilliant as ever, and was deserving or
considerable attention.
We pointed some time ago that an effort had
been made by a wise member OF that body to put
end to personal pride antagonism in legislation
by requiring that all bills be submitted in strictly
anonymous way. The proposed reform was defeated
but new crisis has arisen in which the desirabily
OF eliminating personalities is apparent that every
man involved in it is in favor OF having it treated
anonymously. In fact, the press itself seems to have
taken the same view, and we have not been able to
learn the names of the who have been most con-
spcuous in its complications.
It appears that for long time it has been found
necessary at each reassembling OF the Legislature
completely refurnsh and equip the legislative halls
No matter how large the supply OF law books, sta
tonery chairs inkstands etc. furnished by the State
at any one session, it has always been necessary
purchase new supply when the time came for the
next session.
1t has been perplexing subject to the Kansans to
know what becomes of all these supplies blizzard
has never been known to clean out the legislative
halls and yet the equipments vanish each year as
completely as if forty billiards had swept them
To solve the problem the Executive Council of the
State took the precaution this year OF placing de-
tcctive at every exit from the Capitol, with nstruc-
tons to that public property was taken away,
and now the mystery is cleared up.
From this proceeding has followed the latest crisis
in Kansas and the general desire the part Of the
legislators that the discussion of incidents shall
be strictly anonymous 1t appears the detectives
found much to do Anonymous gentlemen were de-
tected going home not only with clear consciences,
but with typewrters law books, inkstands boxes Of
envelopes and reams of paper had chairs,
and one man had desk.
Most of the depredators are reported to have been
legislative employees, who when halted declared they
regarded their spols part OF their perquises 1t
is stated however, that almost every member had
something in the way of souvenir, and one or two
quite prominent among the heaviest of the
raiders
This sort OF crisis is 50 much an outcome of
strictly Kansan conditions that it could not possibly
occur in California and yet it is so intense in all Of
its incidents that to good many people will ap-
pear like something that might possibly have hap
pened Sacramento if there had been any detectives
there.

VERY BAD POLITICS.

+ HE demorazation produced among the en-
ployes of the Harbor Commission by the at
tempt made in the late Legislature to reorgan-
ize the board is not likely to abate for time No
sooner had the bill egislatng the commissioners out
of Office been rejected by the Senate than Governor
Gage appointed F. S. Chadbourne to take the posi-
ton of Mr. Herold whose term has not expired but
who is alleged to have failed to qualify This appoint
ment, If valid with that OF Mr.. Kilburn, who has al
ready taken the place OF President Colnon, would
give the politicians struggling to get possession of the
waterfront patronage control OF the commission.
What was thus attempted by act OF the Legislature
has been consummated by the appointment OF Har-
Dor Commissioner who can get his place only after
a lawsuit
At this time it is difficult to predict exactly what
programme will be adopted in seating Chadbourne by
the Governor and those who are urging him to thus
demoralze an important branch of the public ser
vice II Kilburn and Chadbourne set up commission
in opposition to Harney and Herold there will Of
course be Two Harbor Commissions, with two sets of
officers, two corps OF employees and cloud OF njunc
tions, wrts OF quo warranto, restraining orders and
probably prohibitions. In short, work upon the
water front will be permanently suspended.
During the late session of the Legislature the en-
ployes OF the Harbor Commission spent the greater
portion OF their time at Sacramento The attempt to
dispossess them of their places only induced them
to contribute heavily expense fund.- but to tenn
porarily abandon their duties for the less important
work OF legislation. OF course the impending i'm
broglio will not cause repetition OF this contest but
it will quite thoroughly demoralize the employees
and put eectual stop the business OF the board
Exactly where Governor Gage is going to find
profit in thus upseting important of the gov
erhmental machine would be hard to determine. If
he has any political ambition it certainly cannot be
promoted by such usurpation If he has no poll
tical ambition, but has been elected merely to secure
berths for Republican workers" he cannot expect
to the gratitude OF that class, for win or
lose, they bound to reproach him. Intelligent
who do not consider public office private snap
but trust which the ofhce-ho1der is bound to dis
charge with conscientious regard for the verdict Of
history, if the opinion OF his contemporaries will
generally dsapprove OF the Governors action in this
matter

THE LADY AND THE SIDE DOOR.
nluInnlies.

OS ANGELES has Police Commission ap-
IL right which admits OF compromise. The
body is also otherwise peculiar.
Mayor Eaton is power in the commission, and
he has views. Among these is to the effect that
the side entrance to saloons is nstrumentalty of
evil because it lures the feminine rounder to quench
her thirst in an atmosphere not conducive the
motion Of modesty or morals. So far this posi-
ton is concerned the Mayor will find ready support.
However there are reorners who will stand aghast
at Mr. Eaton's declaration that woman has as much
right to go into saloon as man has, but that she
should go in the front door, line up against the bar,
name her favorite tipple and toss it down a man
would.
1t does not seem that the Mayor would compel a
thirsty lady to go dry but he would deny to her the
luxury Of secrecy Probably his idea is that rather
than cross the threshold to saloon with the glare of
the public eye upon her the would appease
with glass OF innocuous sodawater her yearnng for
refreshments
There are saloons in this city where the plan is in
practical operation. Most of them Barbary
Coast and the female patrons walk right in the main
entrance nor seem embarrassed if observed. They
mingle with the men terms of perfect equality
until such time opportunity arises to administer
knockout drops to the male. Then he knows no
more. Later he awakens to find that his money has
vanished. 1t is hardly possible the Mayor of Los
Angeles would advocate this style of saloon. 1t
really is not benefit to the community.

WONDERS OF HRKANSAS.

THE story from Arkansas of the discovery of the
ruins of city which must have contained
100000 OF people has the merit OF largeness
and novelty. Anybody go to the back counties of
any State and discover villages but to find a
city OF these proportions is out of the ordinary
Eleven million people good many. They are
all dead now and no wonder. They had no system of
drainage had not learned the beauty Of filtered water
knew nothing of antiseptcs, nor had learned how to
operate for appendicitis If 100000 people were to
be in city to-day they would pay attention to the
laws of sanitation or they would die, too
The yarn from Arkansas possesses many points OF
interest. If it is true probably search among the
ancient structures will reveal much concerning race
which is hardly than tradition, and if it is base
less Arkansas least claim one of the finest liars
extant

SHIPPING sAILORS-A. c. F., City
This correspondent asks: IF a sailor
ships for a voyage can he leave the snip
at an intermediate port and demand pay
for his services? If a captain ships a
crew to take his vessel from one port 70
another can he stop short of the port OF
destination and discharge the men
against their wilI?" The answer TO edch
of these questions is that it all depends
on the terms of the contract Generally
if a sailor should ship, say for round
voyage, he would not be entitled TO any
conversation if he left the vessel at an
Intermediate port; likewise, the captain
and the ship would be liable for fallure
to comply with the terms of the contract.
