HOME SEEKERS IN WASHINGTON.

q CCORDING to the Seattle Post Inteigencer
| \ the recent effort of the railroads bring
home-seekers from the East to that State have
already attained high degree OF success The move
ment was started by President Hill OF the Great
Northern, but the other lines terminating at Puget
Sound ports soon followed his lead AS the Post
Intelligencer says:
The competing roads did not like it. but they were
forced in e-preservation to meet the cut and ad-
vertise for home-seekers, too This farsighted rail
road man, not content with bi-weekly colonst ex-
cursions, soon announced another innovation, and
made his daily trains carry westward bound folks
still less fare until the reduction to SIS from
St Paul to Seattle is practically permanent"
While no statistics are forthcoming as to the num-
Der OF persons who have availed themselves of the
cheap rates Minneapolis authority is quoted as es-
tmating that the railroads from that city will prob
ably carry 10000 hOme-seekers to Washington during
the present year While that is doubtless the exag
geration OF oversangune calculator the prospects
are that the Puget Sound country is to have some
thing of an immigration boom of large proportions
The greater number OF immigrants attracted by
these low not of kind that could be profit
ably invited to California where land values
paratively high. They seem to be mainly persons OF
small means but OF great hopefuness and enterprise
who come West to find surer returns for industry
than their former homes anOrded Describing one OF
the newly arrived parties the Post Intelgencer says
These people will end all right; they have left
the homes that have been theirs, mostly poverty,
for the last generation two full OF expectation and
some OF them with only money enough to take them
to some OF the farm centers near here and pay for
filing on a Government homestead But they are full
of pluck and the stuff that ends them among the very
best citizens they know how to farm-they had to,
OF they could not have eked the miserable
lot that befals the unfortunate Kansan-and with the
nspriting certainty that fraction OF theft former
effort will give them not only comfort, but after
while afluence, they going to transform the
unpopuated districts of this fertile commonwealth
into scenes OF thrift and husbandry and prosperity"
While California cannot compete with Washington
in the way OF inducements to home-seekeis with but
scant means the immigration started in that direc-
ton is likely to prove beneficial to us by influencing
well-to-do families to follow the movement and many
Of that class are certain TO be attracted to California
At any rate, whatever tends to build up and popu-
late the Pacific States fail to be beneficial to
Us in some way and may therefore feel consider
able qualification in the good reports that to us
from Washington.

THE GAMBLERS REFUGE.

was anticipated that the Ingleside racetrack gam
blers would not be convicted in the Police Court
without a struggle, but it was not expected that
the foundation OF their campaign against decency and
good morals would be laid in the department presided
over by Judge Mogan. Ever since his appointment
by the Board OF Supervisors to the Office OF Police
Judge this young man has displayed some OF the
strength of character and decision which distinguishes
good administrators of the law. Those who have
watched his course have prophesied that he would
make record as Police Judge which would prolong
his service in that department OF the criminal law
But if the racetrack gamblers can obtain from him
such charge as he delivered Wednesday in the
Jones case there is no longer any hope for him.
Evidently he is inclining strongly toward the
of immortality, and the mere impanelment OF a jury
for the purpose of obscurng his course will not blind
the public the fact that he has his lot with the
lngleside gamblers and proposes to stand fall with
them.
There is no excuse for the delivery of such charge
as Judge Mogan is reported to have given the jury
the Jones case That culprt could himself
by pleading that bookmaker he acting for
some else 1t is no palliation of crime to assert
that is acting by proxy Every man is responsible
for violating the law and whether Jones was en-
ployed by somebody was gambling his own
account is entirely immateria in the premises. The
prosecution proved that Jones made bet the I4th
of March for man named Sandusky, and that should
have been enough to convict him of the oense of
latng the municipal ordinance.
II Judge Mogan thinks that crimes of this sort may
be committed by proxy he is thinking in manner
entirely variance with the penal laws and entirely in
consonance with the contentious OF the racetrack
gamblers. There is charity, however, in assuming
that he is ignorant Of the law. He has been Police
Court practitioner himself and he knows how iuries
are fixed" and Judges pulled" in that tribunal. If
the Ingeside gamblers escape through his court he
may as we'll abandon politics as a means of livelihood
hereafter. No mans personal or political future can
be promoted by assisting the racetrack gamblers to
re-estabsh their infamous resort at Ingeside If
Judge Mogan desires to throw himself away on this
proposition he may as we'll look the issue square in
the face first as last

nRuGa1sr GATES, DEMISE.
Coroner Hill Declines to Approve the
Verdict of Accidental Death.


An inouest was held yesterday on the
body of A. L. Gates, the druggist for the
Folsom Penitentiary, who was found dead
in the Lick House last Wednesday morn
ing Miss Ida Kleinhaus, the fiancee OF
the deceased, testified that Gates visited
her at her home last Tuesday night and
was in excellent spirits. He arranged
with her to call at her home the next
morning and take her on trip to sac
ramento. Not appearing at the appointed
hour she went to the Lick House to IN
quire for him and was there informed
that he was dead.
A peculiar fact in connection with the
death of Gates is that he held two poll
cies of insurance, each for 5000, one a
life policy payable to his sister, Miss Al
ice Gates of San Rafael, and the other an
accident policy, payable to Ida Kleinhaus-
The jury returned a verdict TO the ef-
feet that the death of Gates was due TO
an accident in turning off the gas, which
caused him to be aSphyxiated.
Coroner Hill declined to sign the YER
dict until after he has had an opportunity
of investigating the case more fully, he
having been informed yesterday that
Gates was rather eccentric and fiighty at
times. The Coroner had no knowledge
at the time as TO the condition of the gas
fixtures in the room in which Gates was
asphyxiated. this being a highly impor-
tant point in relation TO the issue as to
whether Gates committed suicide or
tice to the insurance companies the Coro-
ner will withhold his approval of the YER
diet until a thorough investigation shall
have been made.

WHOLESALE COLONIZATION.

THE entire OF the world is estimated at fifty
two millions of square miles, of which, at the
end of last year, 288 I53 were held in the form
OF colonies and protectorates by eight European pow
1t is interesting to follow the evidences during
the present century of the rapidity with which the
monarchies and empires of Europe have extended
their philanthropic movements to dfuse the light OF
Christian civilization and the gospel OF peace.
Great Britain has always been the supreme head of
the imperial annexatonists. In the eighteenth cen
tury the founders of this republic, antagonizing her
views OF colonization by the Declaration of Indepen-
dence and by military force largely reduced her pos
sessions this continent Nevertheless in 18oo as
the net result of little more than two centuries of
imperial extension, she had acquired, beyond her
home area OF I2o,o7o square miles, moderate ad-
dition to the number of I,7oooo4 Eighty years after
ward she ruled 5o227oI square miles of foreign ter
ritory Within the last eighteen years her acquisi
tons have sweled to ooIooo3 square miles, or nearly
fifth OF the surface of the globe
Prior to 1880 Russia had been competitor with
Great Britain in the expansion business, having in
creased her territory in eighty years from 100000 to
o2oo27 square miles, but since 1880 she has virtually
abandoned that method of spreading imperial insttu-
tons, having only gained 265 SI square miles She has
been succeeded by France and by Germany, which
have displayed great energy in their new occupation
but are still tar in the distance. Since 1880 France

THE MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION.

| n giving a review OF the work accomplished by
the Merchants Association for the past three
months the directors at the recent quarterly meet
ing were able to present report OF highly crafty
ing nature. The report has been published in full in
the current number OF the Association Review and
deserves to be read by all who take intelligent in
terest in municipal affairs.
The association, which next month will hold its
fifth anniversary meeting, has grown from member
ship OF fortyseven pubcspirited citizens who organ
lied it to an enrolment OF 1852 business firms
With its increased strength there has been an in
creased usefulness to the city and the record OF the
past justfes the assertion OF the report OF the di
ectors, that with active regiment OF 1000 regular
members the strength and usefulness OF the Mer
chants Association would be doubled"
The conditions OF San Francisco are such that her
progressive citizens count nothing done long
as so much remains to be done Therefore the chief
interest in the report lies not in the review OF what
has been accomplished, but in the outline OF work
for the future The directors offer an attractive pro-
gramme, conspicuous in which is the suggestion OF
reform in the management OF the harbor and water
front On that subject the report says: No move
ment is Of more consequence to San Francisco than
the question OF maritime commerce. Every effort
should be made foster and encourage the shipping
interests OF this port To this end we believe that the
control ana ownership OF the harOor front should
revet in San Francisco, and that ultimately all harbor
tolls should be abolished"
There can be little question concerning the impor-
of relieving the commerce OF the city as far
possible from the restrictions and burdens now placed
upon it In these days trade is going to the ports
where the best facilities offered for shipping Ad-
vantages of geographical location longer the
dominant factors in building up ocean ports Art-
fetal improvements must be made, wise harbor regu-
atiors adopted, and ample wharf room afforded for
the economical loading and unloading OF vessels San
Francisco must keep up with the demands OF ad-
vancing civilization and competition in such matters
or lose her prestige in the commercial world
