Notwitstanding the heavy rains of last winter and the consequent abundant crops, the begin- nings of which are already coming into market, there is not as much business activity observa- ble on the streets of San Francisco as one might reasonably expect at this season of the year. Shipping does not seem to be very brisk, but it is to be said on this point that there is not t nage enough at hand to meet current demands, even at the high prices ruling at present, and it is feared that there will be quite a famine, so to speak, in this respect whea the time comes to move the heavy grain crop now being har- vested. There is comparatively little building going on for a city of this size and situated as it is. Changes in real estate, with a few marked exceptions, are not many or important, and prices are reported as a good deal depressed Manufacturing is prosecuted successfuily in many branches, but the sharp competition which the factories have now to meet from eastern shops tends to make that industry less pros perous than formerly. Since the late terrible collapse in mining stocks, business in the stock exchanges—and this, by the way seems to be the key-note to all trade here—has also been flat, stale and unprofitable. Furthermore, the yield from the mines has not been as great as was expected, partly, perhaps, on account ot temporary exhaustion of leads, and partly through the machinations of mine managers lut substantial good will in some way come of the agitation now going on over it. or REMEDIES NEEDED. There are, however, some other things needed here even more than a second raliway the continent. In the first place, the wants a much larger population of int: laborers, permanently interested in her welarc as real property owners. The condition o: things existing here now is much like that whi prevailed in the southern states before th rebellion, except that lator is hired instead of owned. The tendency therefore is entire! toward large farms or ranches, owned by a few rich individuals or incorporated companies Hired labor is constantly in demand wages, but no encouragem ‘mail land-owners who w With their own labor, thus ensaring mo culdvation and larger crop general wealth and bus! Wealth. Without this element inh. no agricultural state can ever be tru great and permanently prosperous. Next, needs a eystem of local railroads to couneet rich valleys and foet-hills in every pari of t state with the commercial this means only can the present of communication and transportation b reduced and material resources of every character be properly developed. She must have, also, a circulating medium of smaller denomination than any m mon use here, to the end that population may be able to purchase the minor necessaries of every-day lite without being su)- jected to a swindling shave of frow ten to of the ommor alacior ‘TELEGRAMS TO THE STAR.

It used to be the Bank of California, but now it is the railroad. That is the Californian’: ideal of the sum of all villainiesnow. You hear of itonallsides. Isa child wicked beyond the influence of ordinary domestic correctives ?— Stanford & Co. will straightway be called in t> eat it up bodily or fling it into the bottomless pit. Does a flood devastate one section of state, or drouth burn up another 7—the C. P. KR R. is in some mysterious way to blame for it, Has the army worm appeared in one of the re- mote counties ?—It is a part of Stanford & Co.'s infernal plot to “ control the state and place the city of San Francisco under their grinding heel.” Is the grape crop likely to be short in some other quarter ?—the grasping railway cor poration are at the bottom of it. Does a mine “peter out” any where? Itis “the anaconda tail of Stanford & Co. tightening about the crushed and expiring state.” Ihavu’tyet heard them charged with getting up the Juzo earth- quake or spreading the small-pox, about which there is a good deal of pother here just now, but I have no doubt these will come along in good time. Andsothe damnable iteration goes ov day after day. The newspapers are tilled brim full of pungent paragraphs on the subject, much like those that bristle in the columns of country journals just before election day. Public meet ings discuss the impending catastrophe; nervou- brokers launch jerky curses at the heads of the ruthless destroyers between calls at the stock board; creaking bummers mop their rheums eyes over the situation every time they take their toddy; and I am not sure but the devilis! machinations of the company are in some way mixed up with those of the arch-fend himseli and made the subject of ficree fulminations from the pulpit, 1 will ask my wife, when she comes in, whether she has heard anything of the sort. Now, seriously speaking, there can be no manner of question but that the railway com- pany is feartully *‘on the make,’ and that it ir getting into its hands one way and another an alarming proportion of Property and power But this, I suspect, is due te the human nature in the concern rather than to the fact that the offcnaing agency is this particular corporation, or that its managers happen to be Mr. Stanford and his associates. Any other combination o: money-making men would do as much if they could. Hundreds of them are doing the same thing to the extent of their capacity all over the United States to-day. And this notonly contrary {> the interests of the general public, but with the tacit consent or active co-operation of state and national legislators. But the remedy for this state of things does not lie in abusing the men who happen to control this or that pattiou- jar Lio scared tor the time being. It is the natural fruit of a system; and to break this up it is recessary to go beyond effects and strike at causes. Party tics will bave to be ignored, to some extent, atleast. The ballot box mu.c be purilied. A higher and purer type of men must secured for public officers through the con- certed action of the better classes of society at nomimating conventions, or still earlier,—at primary meetings. When these things are done we shall have # right to hope for better days, and not much sooner. THE RAILROAD HUBBUD. At present the public mind of San Francisco is very much torn up over the growing powe and alleged destructive policy of the railron. company, and it is apparent that popular senti- ment is almost unauimously against it. Like all other questions, this doubtless has two sides; but if the managers of the road have any show- ing in their own behalf it does not find its wey before the people of San Francisco to any con- siderable extent. At allevents, I have not seen it. But, witm the best lights before me, the situation as between the citizens and the rail- road company appears to be about this: San Francisco used te control and monopolize the whole trade of the Pacific coast, and the policy, or rather, perhaps, the practice of her business the means work at once. This shington or most of the cities ‘ the eastern states. It the people of California will only face the whole situation as it is, and then muster the courage to apply the remedy ail round, they will have, I feel convinced, far 'es# to fear than they now seem to apprehend from the mach- dreaded firm of Stanford & Co. They doubt- less my reforming, but a good many vtber things ought to be abolished entirely. GOAT ISLAND. 2? bave said a good deal about the railroad row, but up to this point I havn't mentioned Goat Island. Now, a letter from San Francisco at the present time without anything on this subject would be very much like a letter from Boston during jubilee week without mention of the jubilee. I therefore take space to refer to it, if only briefly. in the first place, I don’t see very clearly why the railroad company should want the island; and in the second place, I can’t understand why Congress should be willing to sell or lease it, much less to give it or any por- tion of it as a free-will offering to any corpora. tion, rich or poor. Its use for railroad purposes as proposed could hardly fail to be injurious to navigation in the bay, aud at the same time i( would be alike inconvenient to the traveling public and damaging to the business and (atare prospects of San Francisco. But above and be- youd these considerations, it should in my jadg ment be retained by the government intact and without divided jurisdiction for the purpose defending at once almost the only good harb on the western coast and the commercial ests of the country so largely centered here. I am not interested in the stock of the railroad on the one hand nor in property in the city on the other, ard that’s the way the thing look me. K. ssee- Political ites, Ex-Governor James L.
