the popular short story writer's of the

UNSUCCESSFUL GRAND LARCENY.

THE attempt of the rag-tag and bobtail of the
Democratic party to pose as the representatives
of the deep-seated opposition throughout the
United States to monopolistic eXactions and
corruptions is actually farcical. At the cheap
dinner in New York which was paraded as
contrast to the feast OF the whte-tied
Democrats, o. H. P Belmont said: 1--WE have
reached point when Democracy must rule or the
heirs OF the greatest republic that we know of must
bow their necks to the most powerful putocracy the
world has ever known" This republic is the heir
of all the ages but is yet dead and therefore,
has no heirs OF its own. Taking Mr. Belmonts
words, however, as they were obviously meant it
may be said that by striking out Democracy and
inserting Americanism," this quotation will be con-
verted into expression Of popular sentiment that
deserves respect. Political manipulation in the
United States is confined to no party, but for
many years has affected all parties Historically the
Democrats have been worse than the Republicans
Whenever they were needed they have been used by
the different oligarchies of which greed. is the
watchword. In this State the railroad has never
failed to secure Democratic advocacy and as has
been often stated, the domneering effort with the
treacherous aid OF the Examiner to force Daniel
NJ Burns into Federal Senatorship was merely
preparatory step to the proposed transfer of Cafor
MIA to the Democracy in 1000.
greatly outweigh the Bryan Democracy in their an
tagonsm to the extreme pretensions of monopoly
because they rooted in the American conception
Of self-governmen and equally object to imperiastic
tendencies the one hand and TO the socialism and
proetarianism of the Chicago platform on the other
They represent the sound constitutional Americanism
through which and through which alone the integrity
of the law be maintained and the equality OF its
administration secured.
The last and most dangerous expression Of mon
opoly is imperialism, and essentially every expan-
sionist is imperalist There are Democratic an
nexationists by the thousand There are Republican
opponents of that revolutionary policy by the ten
thousand The most effective exposures and de-
nuncations OF the reasonable scheme to impress
British character upon this Government have come
from the Republican party
Republicans can afford to laugh at the dinner cam
paign in which it appears to be the peculiar Office
OF William J. Bryan to enact the role of boss po-
tca bully. Having beaten the Examiner Journal
or Journal Examiner into silence on its national
policy, he and his newspaper ally are now engaged
in the congenal work of kicking the gold Democrats

is still the daughter upon which the defeated candi-
date for the Presidency harps He also persists in
forcing the Chicago platform into the disgusted
American stomach, which spewed it up in the ma
onal campaign of 1896 and in the State elections of
1893 This embalmed socialism and anarchy of the
tn-can Democracy was the alimony OF Mr. Bryan's
party when it divorced from the genuine Democ-
racy OF the country, and in the campaign of 1900 may
reverse Shakespeares order by furnishing cold and
rotten feast for its funeral
Mr. Bryan and the Examiner Journal need have no
fear OF the commission OF bigamy by the sound
money Democrats. Their divorce is absolutely valid
and they retain all the valuable property of the JEFF
fersonian Democracy They will either remain in a
state of single blessedness or contract new alliance
with the sound Republicans of the nation that will
be free from every meretricious element American
ism is bound to be top, and it will sit down pretty
hard on dangerous monopoists and imperialists and
the demagogism of Mr.. Bryan and his sup

INDUSTRIAL STOCKS.

JHILE the speakers at each and all of the JEFF
"a ferson banquets found in the midst of their
dssensions on all other subjects a point of
agreement in the denuncation OF trusts the promo
ton OF such combinations for the control of the
great industries OF the country goes brisly on, and
the so-called industrial stocks find lack of in
vrstors
As has been pointed out by The Call the investment
in such stocks has been largely OF speculative nature
and the stronger financial journals OF the East have
repeatedly warned the public to be careful in exam
lining the nature of the various companies that have
put shares upon the market. 1t is conceded how
ever that a considerable number OF the combina-
ons are sound and that fact keeps the whole market
buoyant despite the danger of the situation.
1t now appears, moreover, from a report in the
New York Tribune that much of the opposition to
the boom in industrial stocks is due persons who
have railroad shares for sale, and who therefore are
deirous OF turning the attention OF investors from the
ndusrials to railroads. In the light OF that revela
ton a new interest is given to the problem 1t is
possible the warnings against the industrial compa
nies may have been inspired by something other than
a pure desire to protect the public from error.
1t IS reported that Ex-Governor Roswell P Flower
was recently told by Picrpont Morgan that he must
step supporting industrial stock but it does not ap-
pear from the report, it us, whether the
1clln9 was III the nature OF aQNCc or command. In
either case it was not needed for Mr. Flower has since
beer quoted as giving good deal of encouragement
TO the industrial movement. In recent interview he
is reported to have said:
Il firmly believe that any concern organized for the
purpose OF manufacturing any product OF prime ne
cessity that is undertaken with the view OF cheapening
the cost to the consumer, must, in the nature Of
things be success provided of course, that is in
telligenty and honestly administered" He went on
to say in effect. that these great enterprises but
the modem tools of commerce that bear the same
relation to the smaller concerns that steam power
beas to the old processes of hand labor.
Ex-Governor Flower is one OF the most eminent
Democratic leaders in New York In times past he
has been a prominent candidate for nomination
for the Presidency and he still represents strong
element in his party 1t is therefore interesting to
note that he gives his commentator the great in
dustria trust movement at the very time when his
party seems bent upon making fight against that
movement the chief issue of the campaign year
Clearly Mr.. Flower will have to banquet by himself
He is not fit to dine with either wing of the JEFF
fersonians.
The San Francisco call., 1899-04-23
THE GAS RATES QUESTION.

THE point raised by Mayor Phelan in connection
with the recent order fixing gas rates at ST 10
/ Der thousand feet passed by the Board OF Su-
nervisor is worthy OF more attention. it seems to US,
than has vet been accorded it. In any event some
body ought to undertake the work OF carrying case
to the Supreme Court in which il will be considered
and decided for the interests involved are sufficiently
important TO justify the effort
The Mayor claims that when the Board OF Super
vsors adopted the order fixing gas rates at 81 10 its
action was final: that in other words, under the
statute OF 1873 wherein the board finds its power,
there IS no authority to rescind rate adopted
until one year has expired. Upon the point whether
or not the rate is reasonable the Mayor says the Su
pcrvisors are not compelled to allow the San Fran
cisco Gas and Electric Company interest upon the
par value of its capital stock, but only upon the actual
value OF its plant As to whether the board is bound
to make an investigation and give the gas company
hearing prior to fixing rates, Mr.. Phelan does not
express an opinion.
The facts OF the situation seem to contradict the
position taken by the gas company in this matter.
President Crockett says that the corporation cannot
afford to reduce its rates to 81 per thousand feet.
Yet it is a notorious fact that the Equitable Gas
Company is furnishing illumination at 81 per thou
sand Ii the monopoly concern is insisting upon a
rate which will enable it to pay dividends upon vast
amount OF watered stock OF course its contentious
should not be considered. The gas consumers OF
San Francisco are not to blame because the managers
OF this corporation have for stock-obbing purposes
overcapitalized their business. In the face of the
competition which is confronting them they
should squeeze the water OF their stock and pre-
pare to transact legitimate business No other con-
clusion is logical in the premises
We do not believe there is anything in Attorney
~ ie
tutional 1t is true that that statute which confers
upon the Board OF Supervisors the power to regulate
the rates which gas shall be supplied to consumers,
passed prior to the adoption OF the present con-
stitution But there is nothing in the organic law
which orbds its enactment, and under the provision
that all laws not in conflict shall remain in force is
valid under the new constitution Section 80 OF ar
ticle ". in fact expressly authorizes the Legislature
to enact Just such laws The points issue, however
are very important and they should be settled
promptly.
