Dating from the conquest, the Society of California Pioneers is the oldest society in the State, and there is no branch of business enterprise or association, social or political, in which they are not most honorably represented. And as matters pertaining to the society are, to some ex- tent, of interest to the general public, at- tention is called to a proposition now pending before it. If there is an organization in which the spirit of fraternity and good fellowship should prevail with all the force and in- tensity that those terms imply, surely it should be with them. % 3 Almost the sole and only dissension, dis- cord or recrimination that has ever pre- vailed among them has been caused by the annual election of their officers; and it would seem that anything tending to lessen or eliminate such causes from their proceedings would be welcomed by its members. The proposition is o adopt so much of the Australian mode of election as would result in the elimination from future elec- tions of those political features that have heretofore in a degree marred the har- mony of the society. That would give every member who would present a peti- tion signed by thirty members of ]good standing the right to have his name placed upon cge ballot as a candidate for an office, as such petition should recommend. It would do away with prearranged nomi- nating committees and destroy the signifi- cance and unfair prestige attaching to the term ‘‘reguldr’’ ticket. It would abolish the custom of members circulating tickets upon the streets and the evil potency of money to influence the election. The objections of the few opponents of the Australian system are the same as those wurged by politi- cians against its application to public affairs, and it is expected with about the same effect, as_the principle has been and is being adopted b; intelligent commun- ities throughout the country. It has been adopted \by the Mechanics’ Institute, the Olympic Club and other social organiza- tions in San Francisco, and has fully real- ized all that its most ardent advocates have claimed for it. The proposition will be debated and de- cided by the society at their monthly meet- ing, l,"':fl 6, and, no doubt, a full attend- ance will be present. TICKET AGENTS UNEASY, They Complain That Brokers Are Demoralizing Business. TO CONSIDER RATE - CUTTING. H. Goodman of the Southern Pacific Calls a Meeting for Monday. T. The railway passenger ticket agents, or at least some of them, have been kicking over the traces of late, and there is trounle all along the line. For quite a long time the agents on Market and Montgomery streets have held together on rates as directed by their respective companies after a meeting at Chicago, at which ‘Western passenger rates were definitely settled. The Passenger Association made it clear to all agents that cutting rates should then cease, and to all intents and purposes it did stop immediately. But in view of subsequent developments it seems that the Western Passenger Asso- ciation rules were only made to be broken. So the story goes on the street, and it is for this very reason tbat an effort is to be made to whip into line some agents who, in their zeal for business, found a way of their own out of the dilemma in in which they were placed. ‘With this object in prospect a meeting has been called gor 10:30 A. M. to-morrow in the Palace Hotel. 4 Every agent in town received a letter yesterday from General Passenger Agent T. H. Goodman of the Southern Pacific Uompany asking him to be present at the meeting. The invitation announced that matters connected with overland passen- ger traffic from San Francisco and vicinity will be considered at the meeting, and it urged npon agents the necessity of attend- 1ng or sending a representative. %he railroad men claim to be at a loss regarding the nature of the questions to be discussed, and little could be learned from Southern Pacific officials further than a statement that purely business matters would be adjusted. Agents appeared de- sirous of saying nothing about it, though from two of them it was learned that the meeting was called for the purpose cf stop- ping cutting throngh brokers. . “Some 0? the agents have been paying brokers an excessive commission to allow them an opportunity of cutting rates and thus getting the business. This has given rise to_constant irritation and frequent complaints from offices that were daily losing business because they refused to have any dealings through brokers. Means will be devised on Monday to put a stop to this brokerage and put every office on an equal footing to sell tickets on _its merits.” Such was the explanation of an agent, who for business reasons did not wish his name quoted in connection with the matter. The Southern Pacific agent said that no broker could do business through his offi- ces beyond buying at schedule rates a ticket for himself and signing it in his own name, in which case the ticket could not be transferred. He regarded brokersasa nuisance and the cause of endless trouble in the different ticket agencies. ““What the Union Pacific and Santa Fe representatives may be doing I cannot say, though it certainly disturbs things,” was the vague insinuation that these offices have been getting a large share of the passenger traffic. It is a foregone conclusion that unless a radical change be made immediately sev- eral railway companies will raise decided objections to continuing under association restrictions regarding passenger rates, and then enter into an open flgit by cutting rates. In this connection the Santa Te and Union Pacific people say they have lost a certain grugortion of overland busi- ness through the Southern Pacific’s Sunset Limited train, which has been adyertised all over California, and, consequently, they feel that they must offset the competition in some way. There is not a very wide gap now be- tween association rules on passenger rates, and a free fight at reduced prices for over- land tickets may be at hand. The English Fisheries. ‘While the numbers of men and boys en- aged in fishing throughout England and %Vules has remained nearly constant dur- ing the past five years, and the variations in total weight of fish caught comparing one year with another have been very slight, many of the fishing ports have suf- fered vicissitudes. Grimsby retains its position as chief of them all, and London, in spite of some falling off in the quantity of fish landed, is still second, but Yar- mouth has changed places with its neigh- bor, Lowestoft, and Neyland, instead of being seventh in rank among fishing ports, as it was five years ago, is now behind %carborough and North Shields.—London ews.
