GREAT YELLOW FAKER.

United States Marshal James H. An.
derson went to the state prison in his
capacity as a federal official and Sc
cured confession from Milton II. Lee
who was arrested on a charge Of coun-
terfeiting. The marshal took with him
q reporter for the Herald -Republica n
and introduced him as a stenographer.
Presumably the confession which the
marshal obtained was to be employed
IN the prosecution OF Lee. and yet the
marshal used his Office to provide a
story for newspaper.
When the confession was obtained il
did not satisfy either the United States
marshal, who has become the "demou

STORMY ON THE COAST.

The san Francisco Chronicle is dis
playing acute hysteria as result OF
the suit which Attorney General Me
| Reynolds has brought TO take the Cen
tral Pacific out of the hands Of the
Southern Pacific. No matter what
| McReynolds says, complains the
Chronicle, "a railroad from San Fran
cisco. to Galveston docs not parallel a
railroad from San Francisco to Ogden
and everybody knows it.
| Evidently the editor made that state
ment after a careful survey of a map,
and was not considering the question
| from an economic and business point of
| view. But whether the two roads are
parallel or not is largely an academic
question. The real question involved
is whether the Southern Pacific has es-
tablished monopoly in restraint of
trade, such as is forbidden by the Shcr-
man antitrust law; whether the Central
Pacific is being sacrificed through
this monopoly to the interests of the
"Sunsct Routc" of the Southern Pa
cliic. and whether the trade of the Pa
cific coast is being forced into unuat-
ural and costly channels when il could
and should be sent by direct and cheap.
er routes. On the last point the Chron.
icle SAYS:
1.-The net result thus far OF the Wick
crsham and McReyuolds raid on our
communications is to make operation
inconvenient to shippers and to impair
the power Of the carriers to get money
to improve their facilities to serve the
public. 1t has not, will not and cannot
reduce the cost Of transportation or in
crease efficiency Of service''
These are emphatic assertions, but
they are backed by no arguments. In
theory, at least, the cost of transporta,
tion by a roundabout way should be
higher than the cost by direct way.
II seems equally apparent in theory
that direct transportation should be
more convenient to the shippers and the
consumers than transportation by an
indirect route.
1t is big question, however, and we
trust that as the days go by the Chron
icle will condescend to elucidate. When
it grows weary of mere assertion. per-
haps it will favor us with the argu-
ments to back its assertions.
