sentiment of the letter ana more Slg-
nifcant than his denial OF ITS uttefance
is the fact that the appointment winch
Mr.. Bryan was at that time seeking,
that of State Railway Commissioner, was
one in which the railroads were parucu-
IarIy concerned and that TO secure this
appointment he went for MS lndoIse-
ments to the men known TO represent
the railroad interests. In What hght
does this leave the Presidential candi-
dste nosing as the self-constituted en-
emy of corporate aggression and con
stantlv using as his political capital his
alleged antagonism to railway monopoly?
If Mr.. BRYAN was ready to seek Iail-

sumo much time and money. The Bouvet
was begun in January, 1893, and launched
in April, 1896, and cost over S., 900, ,000 Her
speed, which was to be 171a knots, fell
greatly short of the calculation, and even
at reduced speed there was danger Of a
complete breakdown of the engines.
The mean consumption of the American
water-tube boilers tried on the British
gunboat Sheldrake were found to be less
than for cylindrical boilers developing the
same horsepower and under like condi-
tons. Nine runs, aggregating 5000 miles,
were made under horsepowers varying
from 1900 to 2150, and the corrected aver
age of coal burned was 163 pounds per
horsepower per hour. The steam ranged
from 120 to $50 pounds, the average being
146 pounds, and 985 pounds of coal were
consumed to each square foot Of CRATE
surface. The objection to water-tube
boilers in the merchant service has
hitherto been on account of the idea that
these boilers were not as economical as
the old style, but the performance Of the
Sheldrake and on the Norwegian steamer
Tasso would indicate that there is no
longer a foundation for such belief. The
latter vessel had her Scotch boilers re-
moved and American Water-tube substi-
tuted, with the result that in six voyages
aggregating 5000 miles there was a saving
of ninety tons of coal and an increase in
speed of six-tenths Of a knot

THE EXTRA SESSION SCHEME.

n EPORTS Of the intention OF the Governor 20
~ call an extra session of the Legislature come
from every side and increase in reliability as well
as in number Nor is there lacking authority and
evidence to confirm them. It is therefore clear the
scheme is OF the issues of the time the people have
face and it becomes the duty OF the press as the
representative OF public opinion to speak out upon
the project and by exposing the injury will nfict
upon the taxpayers and the interests OF the State
prevent its accomplishment if possible
There is nothing in the condition of the time to
justify the cost Of the purposed extra session. Such
reasons for calling have been invented by the
promoters of the plan have been fiInsy and futile
1t was asserted at one time that decision OF the
court the Vrooman act had rendered it impossible
for cities to undertake any kind of street work until
the act amended The faseness of that pretension
was promptly exposed II there be any lack OF street
work in any city in California it is because the city
lacks the money or the enterprise needed to carry it
on. There is nothing in the law to prevent it
Equally absurd is the claim that legislation is
necessary to enable the State to carry the work OF
river improvements 1t true that by reason OF con-
fusion in the OF the last Legislature the courts
have decided that the Office of Commissioner OF Public
Works longer exists but that does not prevent
the river work the auditing Of the expenses of
carrying it on In short no reason yet advanced for
extra session is sufficiently valid to amount even
to presentable excuse for holding
On the other hand the objections are many and
strong The State is now in aourishing condition.
Business is brisk and all prospects bright There
is abundance of work in city and country Work
ingmen find difficulty in obtaining employment at
good wages The early rains have been abundant for
the season, and there is every the winter
will bring us enough not only to make the crop Of
the coming year, but to fill to funess the natural
reservoirs which depleted by the long drought
The fruit and other crops of this year have been good
Of revenue has poured into the State, and from one
end OF it to the other there has been revival Of
enterprise and OF energy which can be counted on
to bring about great benefits all classes Of people
Why should all these bright prospects be disturbed
and the attention OF the people distracted from bus-
by unnecessary legislative session this winter?
There is nothing the Legislature do to increase
business promote the public welfare The session
will entail large expenditure of money which must
be made up by the taxpayers Money which might be
employed in making needed improvements will thus
be turned politicians and the tax levies will
have to be higher.
The only object Gage have in putting the State
to the expense of the extra session is that of pro-
noting the scheme of eectng Dan Burns or some
other railroad tool the United States Senate 1t IS
a schemer's game from first to last, and rests upon
false pretenses

PHELaN'S RUBBER-NECKING.

N ESPERATE indeed must be the feelings OF the
)eaders in the Phelan camp, when in the hope
of finding out something which will serve them
for campaign material they set detectives to follow
the Hon Horace Davis and report to the Phelan
organs at what time Mr.. Davis comes down town,
what he wears. where he lunches dimes, with whom
he talks and what he may happen carry in his hand
Neither Mr. Davis nor his friends nor the Repub-
can party have anything to fear from the disclosures
which may be made by this system OF rubber-neckng
the part OF the Phelan managers and organs Hor
ace Davis does lead double life. His actions,
private and public, those OF an upright man.
Phelans detectives need resort to any elaborate
system OF spying to find out what Mr. Davis does by
day or by night. He is not hypocrite and has no
hidden OF life. By open inquiries they find
all about him. at what hour he begins his work,
where he goes during the day, with whom he does
business, with whom he has conversations, at what
hour he goes home and where he sleeps at night
The only objection Of Republicans to the Phean
rubber-neckng is that is shared by decent Of
all parties The introduction of personalities into the
campaign is liable to degrade it from the high plane
on which politics should be conducted to the level OF
that kind OF vilfcaton in which spies and sneaks
delight The Republican party has endeavored to
keep the contest as clean its candidates
Knowing that the its ticket above
reproach, it has been willing to concede personal
responsibility to the other side Until yesterday it
appeared the campaign might be carried through to
the end without anything of base nature to disturb
the judgment of the upon the issues at stake,
and honorable Democrats as we'll as Republicans will
regret the vile tactics which in their desperation
Phelan and his organs have adopted.
Since the spy system has been instituted it will
probably be continued until the close OF the contest
The detectives will report to their bosses what Mr..
Davis does and says, whether he carries umbrella
and whether he wears overshoes on rainy days. II
is work but doubtless for the spies it pays well.
1t will not pay Phean however, for the voters OF the
city be relied upon express at the polls their
condemnation OF that way OF doing politics.

has finally produced the letter written to
him by William Jennings Bryan in 1889
in which Mr.. Bryan says in black and

Colonel Bryan has denied positively that
he ever gave expression to such a sentI-

with the ordinary Office seeker who
looks upon politics as an occupation and
its emoluments as a means of living.

MR.. STUBBS' CANDIDATE.

I IHEN it became evident last winter that the
w election OF Dan Burns to the United States
Senate could not be forced through the Legis-
ature by the railroad the managers OF the Kentucky
corporation determined to save the prestige Of the
company at any cost. 1t was given out accordingly
that Burns the candidate OF the railroad but
the candidate of Herrn, and therefore it was Herrn
who was repudated and not Huntington
Now that the widespread support given to Mr.
Wheeler for the office of Interstate Commerce Com
missioner renders certain the railroad candidate for
the office will have no advocates among the business
men OF either California, Oregon or Washington it
more becomes necessary to do something to save
the prestige OF the road This time it is Stubs who
is put up for the sacrifice 1t is announced that
Chpman is not the candidate of the railroad but the
candidate of Stubs.
During the conference between the committee of
the Pacific Coast Manufacturers and Jobbers Asso-
citation and the managers of the Southern Pacific
Company, Stubs put up to make his little speech
and he is reported to have said frankly: Chapman
is my candidate, the candidate of the Southern
Pacific Company" The language is almost identical
with that of Herrn declaring Burns my candidate
and Mr.. Huntington had nothing to do with the
matter"
By close investigation it might be possible to dis
cover some difference between Stubs candidate and
railroad candidate. 1t would not be difference
however Of any Importance A Stubbs candidate who
by any chance railroad candidate would very
soon be pulled down by order of Huntingdon and
Stubs would do the pulling We give the correction
part of the lighter of the day and for what
it is worth. If it be Of any advantage to Mr.. Chip
to be known Stubbs candidate rather than the
railroad candidate we are willing he should have the
benefit of il.
