SPEAK OUT FOR THE CANAL.

n OW is the time for State Legislatures, Cham
N hers of Commerce. Boards of Trade, labor Or
carnations and all other representatives OF
public sentiment to speak for the Nicaragua canal
The speech moreover, should be prompt and en-
phatic 1t should be terse and vigorous and ring
with something like the voice OF the whole people
The supporters and the opponents OF the measure
in Congress have Joined in what promises to De
fight to finish After it was found impossible to
get hearing for the bill separately an attempt was
made by its friends to attach it to the sundry civil
hill but that move was defeated Now the Senate
has attached it to the river and harbor appropriation
bill and once more the battle is to be waged in the
House. At such juncture it is surely timely Tor
the voice of the nation to make itself heard.
The opponents OF the great enterprise are already
Boosting that the bill is virtually defeated Upon the
failure of the attempt it to the sundry civil
bill the Baltimore American said: The Nicaragua
canal scheme has been defeated in the present Con-
gress and the time for reflection allowed before
another Congress assemblies may be depended on to
defeat it altogether"
Such are the tactics. OF those who are antagon1stc
to the canal They are convinced if they can defeat
the measure now while the lessons of the show
ing its importance are fresh in the public mind, it will
be comparatively easy TO it aside altogether here
after 1t is not to be denied there is basis for
the conviction Defeat OF the measure in this Con-
gress will presage similar disaster in the next The
time therefore, has when all the friends of the
measure should declare themselves and back up their
representatives who battling for it in Congress.
II anything is to be done, however, either by the
Legislature, by commercial and industrial organiza-
TONS or by a mass meeting of citizens it must be
done promptly. Congress closes on the 4th of March,
and that time is at hand Whatever may be
done or left undone elsewhere, California should
make her voice heard urging her Senators and her
Representatives TO make the fight for the canal by
every honorable means at their command.

We regret to notice that some of our
most esteemed contemporaries of the in
terror are disposed to take a narrow and
ungenerous view of the proposed Pacific
Ocean Exposition. They seem to feel an
ger at San Francisco, and to fear that the
scheme is but one on the part of that
city to wiring money from the people of
the interior and longest it in the metrop-
oils for the benefit of landlords and eat
ing-house proprietors.
This is mistaken view. Even if such
ignoble purpose actuated the well-known
public men advocating the exposition, it
would be insufficient reply to a PROPOSE
ton entitled to be treated upon its merits.
No matter what the character of any ex-
position, convention. public gathering or
display, long or short in continuance, nor
how high and lofty its purpose, 1T would
inure as a matter of course to some ex-
tent to the benefit of the place in which
it is held. Yet we doubt very much If the
proposed exposition will be a means of
profit to San Francisco. She will be likely,
nay. be required by the very stress of con-
ditions, to put up considerable more
money than she will get out of it.
But these are vulgar considerations.
The only one worthy of intelligent con-
Hcern at all is this, Is such an exposition
desirable for the coast, in view of the
Importance it is now assuming in national
concern2- We respond unhesitatingly in
the. affirmative. That is all there Is in
the question. If such an exposition will
substantially advance the coast interests
in the eyes of the world and as they de-
serve, then it is desirable at any cost.
If 1t will not tend to enlarge intelligence
concerning the Pacific States, Pacific
Ocean commerce, our relations to the

PUT ON THE BRAKES.

THE weekly report of the Committee Ways
and Means, submitted to the Assembly Mon
day, shows that the total amount OF appropria-
tions exclusive of those necessary for the current
penses OF the government, which have been intro
duced into the Legislature and referred to amount
to S3,6038z8. Oh this the committee has reported
back with favorable recommendation bills carrying
SOY 800 Bills carrying $4,000 have been reported
adversely bills carrying $II55oo have been reported
without recommendation, bills carrying $4o8845 have
been referred to other committees-from which they
will probably emerge by and by with favorable
portland appropriations amounting to $4o6,542 have
been reported with recommendation that the authors
be allowed to Withdraw them, which they will prob
ably not do.
As financial exhibit this report presents object
lesson which the taxpayers of the State should
eagerly study at the present time Just the people
are recovering from dry year, which has very
throwing most of them into bankruptcy, the
legislative schemers propose to shovel out their
money in this way with wild and reckless hand.
1t will be noticed that the Ways and Means Com
ittee has back to the Assembly bills carrying
appropriations amounting to $26ooooo. Of these
over half have been favoraby reported. The other
half. though returned without recommendation are
in almost as strong position before the Assembly.
Undoubtedly it is the intention Of the Committee on
Ways and Means to allow this raid to be consum-
mated. No other construction can be placed upon
its action. The general appropriation bill will prob
ably carry for the fiscal years 1900 1900 and Iooo-
.Sro 900 ooo and unless check is placed upon the
Legislature within the next two weeks taxation for
the ensuing year least will rise above 65 cents on
the $500 valuation.
If this Legislature desires to destroy the Repub-
can party it should pass these bills and elect Dan
Burns Senator. more effective way of committing
political hara-kiri could scarcely be devised

THE RIGHT KIND OF PUBLICITY.

y COMMENTING upon bill now before the New
| York Legislature, providing for the establish
- rnent of Board of Chemists to investigate
food. authorizations and make analyses OF them for
submission in report to the next Legislature, the
Philadelphia Record, very pertinently, says:
In all the official and unofficial reports concerning
authorizations of food and drink the fatal defect is in
the want of the right kind of publicity. Chemical
analysis will tell to nicely how much plaster alum
is to be found in given sample of -four or bread,
and what the quantity of beans of cocoanut shells
in pound of ground coffee. But the reports rarely
mention the manufacturing firms from whom the
fraudulent samples are obtained. OF what avail are
all these analyses and reports when they fail in the
essential requisite OF exposing the guilty?
That is about the exact truth of the situation.
There have been abundant reports showing that
almost all kinds of foods are aduterated From all
sorts OF authorities many of which official the
public has been given information of the wide variety
CT fraudulent articles sold under the of foods
In support of the very bill now under consideration
it is said the chemist of the New York Agricultural
Department has submitted exhibits of adulterated
foods among which were samples of beans in coffee,
plaster in flour, paraffine in butter, tea dust in
bohea and ground pumpkin in tomato catsup. 1t is
asserted that investigation would show authorizations
in nearly all articles of food in the market.
1t is clearly of no value to the public to make pub
locations of that nature. The only effective way of
protecting the public would be the publication of the
names and brands of the fraudulent articles, together
with the names of their manufacturers. Such an
exposure if it could be made of widespread pub
city would go far toward driving the rascals out of
business At any rate it would furnish the people
with information of practical value, and that would
in itself be long step toward suppressing the evil.
