Congressman Maguire of California makes some astounding assertions in an interview telegraphed from Washington and appearing in yesterday’s Carr. In brief he says that the presence in Wash- ington of a strong railroad lobby, amply provided with money, is a notorious fact; that the Pacific railroad committees in both the Senate and the House were packed in the interest of the ruilraags; in part consideration of this packing railroad influence was generously pledged to forward political ambitions; that be- vond a doubt the railroad committees of houses will report favorably on a funding bill; that the conspiracy extends improvement of our rivers and harbors and to the selection of Santa Monica 1n- stead of San Pedro as the southern harbor to receive an appropriation. But Mr. Maguire offers a grain of com- fort. He declares that the railroad has overdone the work, created a scandal and turned suspicious eyes upon the supporters that a strong fight | against the refunding will be made on the | floor of each house, and that the usual presumption of the honesty and thorough- ness of committees will notoperate in this | instance. “These committees,” he de. clares, “will have no such prestige. ‘They | are already branded as the spawn of con- n favor of railroad interests and against public interests.” These are strong words. He points out the further signifi- cant fact t the committees having charge of the Nicaragua Canal matter are understood to be predisposed against it, and that the members who compose them are for the most part members of the other committees which are taking care of rail- road interests. Keeping in view the fact that Mr. Ma- guire is a Democrat and therefore not likely to say kind things of the Repub- lican organization in Congress, it is still v to believe that the railroads are des- obvious that the most earnest work will bave to be done to coun- teract their efforts at Washington. Never before has there been so strong a pressure against them as now, and the interests in- ed are exceedingly important. The defeat of a funding measure would mean he loss of the Central and Union Pacific s to their present owners and possibly | a- tion of overland transportation. The pas- | sage of the Nicaragua Canal bill would measurably break the monopoly of over- land and isthmian transportation. Ap- propriations for our rivers would intro- duce competition in inland transportation. The selection of Santa Monica in place of San Pedro for a harbor would give to the Southern California terminus of the Southern Pacific as complete a monopoly of trans-Pacific traffic as it enjoys at San T The interests of the people are directly opposed to those of the railroad in every one of these matters and are of the most mportantcharacter. The greatest urgency rests upon the people of California to em- ploy all honest means to assist and sup- port the champions of popular rights at Washington. As all these matters are more vital to California than any other | State, the fight which we make should be | the hardest. VALLEY ROAD PROGRESS. | The cheerfulness with which the share- | holders of the San Francisco and San Joaguin Valley Railroad responded to the fourth assessment of 10 per cent of their subscriptions indicates the faith which shrewd business men havein the enter- The directors announce that they nd between Fresno and Bakersfield by Octobe! 11 the beaviest work has been in the vicinity of Stockton, where yards ive bridges had to be provided. Stanislaus River southward will work and rapid progress. By get- s the road into Fresno by July 1 the enterprise will be in time to handle some of the green fruit crop and all the 2 & | Trinity County owned by a French syndicate, dried fruit, grapes, raisins, wine and grain as far as San Francisco. The presence of this facility will add several dollars to the value of every acre of land along the route. It has been gratifying {o note that no undne excitement thus far has followed the bu)&dmg of the road. Kven Stockton, which will receive the cream of its bene- fits, has bad no boom in the ordinary sense, although property values there have advanced, and preparations are being made to establish important manufactur- ing enterprises in the city. The news from Washington isto the ef- fect that the influence of the Southern Pacitic Company is being powerfully ex- erted to prevent an appropriation for im- proving the navigable rivers of California. It is not dificult to surmise that this op- position is intended to cripple the value of the Valley road to the State by preventing the deepening and straightening of the water channel.which gives Stockion an outlet to the Bay of San Francisco. The more inadequate this channel the stronger the hold of the Southern Pacific monopoly on the entire San Joaquin Valley. Al- though the directors of the Valley road say that they are not considering at all the idea of extending the line from Stock- ton to Oakland, it is conceivable that if the Southern Pacific succeed in blocking the improvement of the Stockton water- way they may be compelled to resort io that recourse. The ten-year trust in which the stock of the Valley road was placed is an impassa- ble barrier to the absorption of that line by the Santa Fe, but not to a traffic ar- rangement between the two roads. The plans of the new Santa Fe management have not yet been announced. The inter- ests of the road are seriously threatened in the south by the determined work of the Southern Pacific to secure a harbor improvement appropriation for Santa Monica instead of San Pedro, and the Santa Fe may be expected to show its hand in Washington and to make a fight for an invasion of the Southern Pacific Company’s territory north of Tehachapi. toa trafic arrangement with the Valley road is a matter which it is now too early by at least a year to discuss. OAKLAND'S EXAMPLE. The result of Oakland’s recent ipdustrial exposition has been the incorpotation of the Oakland Exposition Institute, on the troduced a bill into the House prohibiting | lines of the Mechanics’ Institute of San a member of either branch of Congress | Francisco. The capital stock is to be $100,- from soliciting appointments to office, and | 000, divided into 1000 shares of $100 each, the older members are now in doubt whether the new fellow 1s trying to make & reputation asa reformer or a humorist. If England had not demonetized silver gold would not have appreciated; if gold | had not appreciated no one would have hunted for it in the swamps of the Ori- noco; if it nad not been sought there no dispute would have arisen with Venezuela; had there been no such dispute the United | States would not have been embroiled. So the whole thing grows out of the demone- tization of silver, and we ought to lick England for that, i This will make popplar subscriptions easy, and as the first effort at holding an expo- sition yielded a good surplus the invest- ment undoubtedly will be profitable. The Mechanics’ Institute has been for many years one of the most important concerns in 8an Francisco. Its library is one of the largest, most popular and most profitable in the State, the small fee which it exacts enabling thousands to enjoy its benefits. Its annual fairs are an estab- lished institution, equaling in importance the State fairs at Sacramento. They bring every year thousands of visitors to the number of ways. Oakland is displaying | the intellizence to appreciate the value of such an institution and is exhibiting the enterprise to make it an accomplished fact. The district fairs, which until last year received State aid, were originally intended for a similar purpose, but they have been having such troubles lately as will likely lead to their complete abandonment. State appropriations are always uncertain quan- tities, and dependence upon State assist- ance operates to the production of alag- gard home interest. The only sensible way in which fair associations can be han- dled is as private enterprises, preferably as corporations like the San Francisco and Oakland concerns, in which the small price of shares servesasaninducement for popu- lar investment ana a widely distributed interest in the success of the enterprise. The general adoption of this idea would make it possible for every town of any size in the State to maintain a fair association. As the movement for holding festivals has gained so strong headway, these entertain- ments might easily and vroperly come under the management of such associa- tions and be sure of trained handling and an annualrecurrence, Petty jealousies and bickerings would be eliminated and an affair of public importance conducted on sound business principles. THE NEW STATE. Now that Utah has become a State and to-day will enter upon the practical bus ness of conducting its own affairs, it as- sumes an importance which is as much the product of its history as 1s suggested by its future. When its pioneers, the Mormons, fled to it for refuge and planted their colony cn the smiling plain of the Great Salt Lake, they never dreamed of the vast stores of mineral wealth which its formidable mountains held, and failed to foresee the westward surging of the civil- ization which they had fled. They estab- lished a patriarchal government of their own which was unique on American soil, and being frugal and industrions they | prospered amazingly. The bitter struggles which followed the efforts of those not in sympathy with their religious institutions need not be re- counted here. Gradually they yielded to the outside pressure, were brought under Federal discipline and the operation of laws compelling them to conform to the general usages of the country. Thence- forward they were no longer aliens, but were a part of the great people from whom they had withdrawn themselves. From that to complete afiiliation in the relation of statehood was a natural and inevitable step, and to-day there is no barrier be- tween any of the people of Utah and those who compose the Nation. The future wiil be merely the further de- velopment of this spirit. The admission of Utah as a Stete would have been im- possible had not the past been a guaranty of the future. In the actual work of pre- paring for statehood were seen the strong- est evidence of unity of purpose, high in- telligence, true patriotism and a desire for a bright and harmonious future. This splendid empire will no longer be com- pelled merely to exist at the sufferance of Federal authority. It is now clothed with | all the powers of a State, which means above all things else that it can employ the energies of its people in the development of the splendid native resources which await their concerted touch. The new State is born a giant. ! PERSONAL, Dr. Wallace of Eureka isat the Lick | Ira C. Russ, a capitalist of Fureka, is at the Lick. Dr. Stephen of Petaluma is a gnest at the Grand. D. P.

Mr. Barrett, who was et- tracted by his frankuess and sincerity, took a lively inte in him, and succeeded in get- ting him & position in Mrs. John Drew’s Phila- delphia company, then the greatest stock com- pany in America, and otherwise furthered the young actor, who came rapidly to the front. Through all the years of his apprenticeship Mr. Jemes cherished the friendship of Mr. Barrett, aud the dead tragedian not only aided his young friend with counsel and cheering words, but gave him the moral support of a sincere affection. Louis James used to remind bim very foreibly, he used to say, of his dead brother Joe, & brilliant young actor who died before the great promise he showed could ma- terialize. Mr. James' happy disposition and perpetual good humor were a great relief to Mr. Barrett, who was despondent and some- what gloomy by disposition, and the spirit of fun that lurked ever in the young actor brought mauy a smile to the lips of his mentor and friend when business worries or the mor- bid fancies of his brain filled the tragedian with gloom. About the time that Mr. James severed his connection with thie Barrett company some in- vidious person began to poison Mr. Barrett’s mind against James, and by dint of continual pressure succeeded in effecting & rupture be- tween them. Mr. James was sorely distressed at the fact and sought to bring about a recon- ciliation, but somehow the days wore into weeks and the weeks into months and nothing wasdone. Finally hearing that Mr. Barrett was declining in health Mr. James made the edvances end wrote to him. A long letter it was, and it went straight to the heart of the great actor, who immediately wrote an an- swer and ordered it mailed at once. He asked Mr. James to come and make up the differences of the past and begin anew. As Mr. Barrett's secretary was about toleave for the postoflice the same person who had brought about the separation showed him a newspaper article which greatly disoleased Mr. Barrett, and when he insinuated that Louis James was re- sponsible for it Mr. Barrett called back his sec- retary and ordered destroyed the letter he had written. Mr. Barrett died before Mr. James had an opportunity of seeing him or commu- nicating with him again, and two friends were separated by the gulf that cannot be bridged. Telling of the occurrence yesterday Mr. James concluded with the words that Mr. Ba Tett had spoken so many. times to him in Ju- lius Cesar, “When we meet again then shall we smile indeed.” M.
