MR HUNTINGTON'S SPEECH. / \ Huntington at the Southern Pacific banquet, but the way was wrong. Instead of moving for- ward to a discussion of the best means of promoting the people now living in California, it tended mainly to a consideration of the problem of getting more people to live here. It is clearly not an in the prosperity of California, but an in- W are of increa crease in the number of persons who are subject to | the the gentlemar “What Cal people. W tc buy your goods.” Then he uttered an epigrammatic statement having all the dignity of an axiom: “The fornia needs to-da To accomplish the filling of the long felt want Mr. Huntington suggested the importation of Finns. “One little colony of hard-working, economical, vir- tuous people like the Finns,” he said, “would leaven the whole lump, for their example would be an in- citement to thousands, who, seeing their good work and their good fortune, would strive to share it.” None will dispute the desirability of increasing our population, nor will there be any objection to an im- portation of Finns, provided they come to the State with enough of money and skill to render them self- supporting from the start without crowding the labor market and depressing the rate of wages. That, how- ever, is a comparatively minor issue at'present. Cali- fornians are more interested just now in questions of transportation charges than of immigration from Finland. Had Mr. Huntington made his speech on freight rates it would have been no doubt just as much applauded at the banquet board and far more accept- able to the public. Were the industries and the commerce of California relieved from the burdens of excessive {reight charges there would be no need of applying to any foreign land for immigrants. The natural riches of the State are such that if it were not for the artificial, handicap put upon progress by the railroad monopoly the pros- perity which would attend all its industries would soon attract to our cities and to our fields a large number of enterprising young Americans from all parts of the East. Despite all the Interstate Commerce Commission has done, despite all the efforts of our merchants and manufacturers, there exist ample reasons for believing our trade is grossly discriminated against by the great transcontinental lines. Mr. Huntington holds a po- tent position in railroad circles. He has proven him- self in many a conflict to be able, adroit and bold. Californians are therefore justified in thinking that if on this issue he fought as hard for the interests of the State as he has been known to fight against them at times we would now have a much more favorable freight rate, not only on his line, but on all trans- continental lines. It is for that reason his speech at the banquet will be regarded as something of a mis- take. He spoke on the wrong subject. o'clock, Furniture, | 360 | the battle of Manila from an eye- | raffic taxes of the Southern Pacific, that interests | aid, “is more | t you merchants need is more customers | ¥ way you can get them is by having them here.” | THE APPOINTMENT OF SENATORS. HE country has been startled by a news de- | spatch, which has gone for three days uncontra- dicted, that a treaty has been made whereby Quay. is to be seated in the Senate on appointannt .by the Governor, and that in return for the executive in- fluence which has committed a majority of Senators to tht plan the State of Pennsylvania will support President McKinley for renomination. As a feature in the flux and change with which our institutions are threatened, the subject of appointment of Senators by Governors should be thoroughly dis- cussed and understood. The abhorrent word “Treason” is creeping into common use to characterize men who discuss the al- leged principles of our Government, but we assume that an examination of the constitutional provisions in reference to the Senate may yet be carried on with- out incurring the charge of being a traitor. The constitution, article I, section 3, provides: “The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Leg- islature thereof, for six®years, and each Senator shall have one vote. Immediately after they shall be as- | sembled in consequence of the first election they shall be divided as equally as may be into three classes. The seats of Senators of the first class shall be va- cated at the expiration of the second year, of the sec- | ond class at the expiration of the fourth year, and of the third class at the expiration of the sixth year, so that one-third may be chosen every second year; and if vacancies happen, by resignation or otherwise, dur- | ing the recess of the Legislature of any State, the executive thereof may make temparary appointments until the next meeting of the Legislature, which shall then fill such vacancies.” Article V provides that “No State, without its con- sent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.” It would seem that there can be no two opinions as to the origin and limitation of a Governor's juris- diction over the appointment of a Senator. The plain language of the constitution seems to settle that: “I° vacancies happen, by resignation or otherwise, during the recess of the Legislature of any State, the executive thereof may make temporary appointments until the next meeting of the Legislature, which shall then fill such vacancies.” Ever since 1703 from time to time the exercise of this executive jurisdiction has been discussed in the Sen- ate. In many cases that have arisen the discussion has been upon the cause of the vacancy and a legal con- struction of the term “happen.” It has been argued | sanity becomes incompetent and cannct even resign, ltlmt being an act requiring sanity. Iu this view of it the set and fixed term of the Senatorial office is not | | ‘." happening. Its beginning and end are fixed by Hmv. Senator White's term, for instance, did not ! “happen” to end on March 3 last, nor did the result- | | | { | ing vacancy “happer Its occurrence was fixed by 1 What “happens” is defined by all English lexicographers to be that which comes unexpectedly. 3ut passing by the discussion of the right of a Gov- | ernor to appoint when a vacancy has not happened, but has come about by the expiration of the term fixed by law, the Senate has never heretofore varied from the rule that the Governor's jurisdiction arises only when the vacancy occurs in the rec of the | Legislature. The constitution therein is so plain that lu layman, without knowledge of the rules of legal | construction, cannot err in its interpretation. When | the terms ot Senators White, Quay, Gray and Cannon I"expired by law on the 3d of March, 1809, the Legis- ‘ latures of California, Pennsylvania, Delaware and i Utah were in session and not in recess. | The first case involving the jurisdiction of a Gov- | ernor to appoint a Senator arose in Delaware. In December, 1703, George Reade, Senator from Dela- ware, resigned. The Legislature met January, 1704, and adjourned without electing a Senator. The Gov- ernor thereupon appointed Mr. Kensey Johns to the vacancy. The Senate refused to seat him because the | Legislature had been in session since the vacancy oc- 1 curred and its failure to elect did not give the Gov- | ernor jurisdiction to appoint. In the Senate at that | of the convention which framed the Federal constitu- | tion, and for that reason the decision of this case has | always been given special weight and has been held to | warrant the application of the principle of stare de- | cisis to the issue. | The next leading case, in which a full discussion | has been preserved, was that of Mr. Lanman of Con- succeed himself. | His credentials were dated February 28, and he ap- | 4 the Governor appointed him to | peared on March 4 to take his seat at a special ses- sion called by the President. He was refused his seat, on the ground that: “The Legislature of the State, by making elections themselves, shall provide for all vacancies which may occur at stated and known periods, and that the expiration of a regular term of service is not such a contingency as is embraced in the third section of the first article of the constitu- ion was acquiesced in for fifty years, dur- ing which time Governors in nine States refused to appoint to fill vacancies caused by expiration of regu- lar terms. But in no case has the Senate seated an appointee of a Governor when the Legislature has been in ses- sion and had a chance to fill the vacancy, as decided in the Kensey Johns case. If Quay is seated it will be in violation of that pre- cedent established by men who helped make the con- stitution, and no less in violation of the plain letter of that instrument. Against this there have been long arguments in defense of the right of a State to full representation in the Senate. In the constitutional sense the Legis- lature is the constituent of the Senator, who repre- sents the State. If the Legislature refuse to elect a reglects to vote. frage. He simply consents to deprive himself of it. So the omission of a Legislature to elect a Senator is full suffrage in the Senate. unless the vacancy occur in recess of the Legislature that the alleged bargain to seat Quay is an agree- ment to violate the constitution. It is said in the same connection that Senator Jones, chairman of the National Democratic Committee, and Senator But- ler, chairman of the Populist National Committee, are pledged to vote for Quay’s admission. markable that they should do so, for they represent platforms which directly attack the constitution in its | vital parts. But we cannot believe that Republican | Senators can consent to such a palpable breach of | precedent and- violation of the constitution which they have sworn to support and profess to revere. Nor can we believe that the President is a party to a bar- gain in the interest of his renomination, which, if car- | ried out, would deservedly condemn hine to defeat. The country is surely not in a mood to see the con- stitution trampled under foot for the benefit of Quay, | Addicks and Dan Burns, that executive jurisdiction appears and a Governor | may appoint only if a Senator during his term re- | signs, dies, is expelled or by incapacity through in- | Ilime were several members who had been members | | necticut.

HE Freeholders, by whom the new charter was framed, were carefully selected. As a body they were intelligent and respectable citizens. They iicluded some lawyers of more than ordinary ability and learning. However much the theory or the de~ tails of the municipal government for which they pro- vided may have been criticized, their zeal and good faith have not heretofore been queslionefl. But there is no doubt that, in some mysterious way that has not been explained, these gentlemen were literally bunkoed by the Pacific Telephone and Tele- graph Company, which is an oppressive, exacting and odious monopoly. That corporation, within the limits of this city and county, has charged and col- lected exorbitant rates for very ordinary service. It is invested with extensive franchises and privileges, exercised for years, for which no just equivalent has been rendered, and its practice has uniformly been to take everything it could get and treat the public not cnly with indifference, but with ostentatious con- tempt. One of the principal objects before the Freeholders in the production of the new charter was to bring every corporation that owed its existence and its op- portunities for profit to the municipality within the control of the Board of Supervisors, and especially in the matter of rates and charges. The principle that they were within the power of municipal regula- tion was accepted as fundamental, and, except as to the telephone company, it was firmly applied. A brief examination of the new charter will prove that this particular exemption was not the result of acci- | dent. Telephone companies are the subject of specific provisions. Among the grants of power to the Su- pervisors enumerated in article II, chapter 2, section 1, by the thirteenth subdivision, the right to control | the location and quality of appliances for telephonic and telegraphic service to the city and county is in- cluded. By article VI, chapter 1, section o, the erec- tion of poles and the laying of underground wires are placed under the supervision of the Board of Public Works. Telephonic and telegraphic service is desig- nated also as one of the public utilities that the muni- cipality is ultimately to acquire. But this is all. It is sufficient to demonstrate that the attention of the Freeholders was especially di- rected to the telephone monopoly, and, therefore, that the plain discrimination in its favor was deliberately | planned. This proposition is also fortified by other provisions of the new charter. Subdivision 14 of section 1 of article II, chapter 2, the very next to the | | subdivision already mentioned, gives the Supervisors the amplest authority to determine rates or compen- sation for the use of water, heat, light or power. Subdivision 27 of section I confers the right, as re- | spects street railways, “to fix, establish and reduce,” not to increase, “the fares and charges.” Section 6 of the same chapter emphasizes this function of the Board of Supervisors by enacting that it “shall at all times have the power to regulate the rates of far and the next section carefully applies the same rule | to franchises or privileges for transmitting electric | power or for lighting purposes. It was quite natural for the Pacific Telephone and | Telegraph Company to support the new charter. | When that instrument was adopted its unexpected at- | titude may have been attributed to a lofty motive. | | But it was really prompted by the most arrant self- iskness. Like Mr. Huntington, the telephone mon- opoly went for everything in sight, knew a good thing when it had it, and was not in business for its health. In the rush of work toward the end of their labors the Frecholders were certainly hoodwinked, for it is in- | conceivable that any of their number used their posi- | tion as a Trojan horse. N It would be interesting to trace the responsibility for this betrayal of the public interests in the midst of an achievement that was expected to clothe the | municipality with the spotless robes of immaculate purity. | The more important practical consideration, how- ever, is the remedy. There are many citizens, includ- ing lawyers, who believe that under the present State constitution the rates of telephone companies can be regulated. That is a matter for the prompt considera- tion of the Board of Supervisors, with the aid of the City and County Attorney. But the public, which looks to positive and intelligible law, free from legal | quibbles, demands that the necessary steps be taken | to amend the charter and frustrate the deep-laid | scheme of the telephone monopoly without a mo- .:r.xent's unnecessary delay. The process is slow at | best, but it should be speedily and effectively invoked. ETERNAL VIGILANCE. TERNAL vigilance will undoubtedly be the price of securing a competitive railway fran- chise on Geary street. If the Supervisors grant the application of the Market street combine for per- mission to build an electric road on that thoroughfare between Taylor street and Grant avenue they may give away the entire subject. There is reason to believe that the Market street company has not aban- | doned its plan of securing a long franchise on Geary | street, free from the restrictions which will be thrown | around it by the new charter. It is understood that | the present franchise, which expires in 1002, will be | surrendered some time during the next three or four }momhs and that the present Board of Supervisors | will be asked to advertise for the sale of a privilege upon the street, extending over the time limited by the new charter, which is twenty-five years. | Inasmuch as the Market street company now has a road upon the street in actual operation, it is in a pdl) sition to bid higher for a new franchise than any com- peting company, and if an award is made at this time it will undoubtedly be able to prevent the introduc- tion of a competitor. The situation will be changed somewhat if the sale of a franchise is postponed until the.expiration of the present privilege. The new char- ter will then be in effect, and there will be some en- couragement for a competing corporation to make a bid, with a view to securing the privilege. At all events, the attempt of the Market street company to gobble up this street without reference to the rights. of_the people who reside and own property on it should be thwarted. It will be dangerous for the Board of Supervisors to grant any privileges to the proposed “corkscrew” line upon Geary street. That line is designed to run over a route formerly covered by what was known as the Central Railway Company, whose franchise on Geary street does not expire for many years to come. The Central company did not have the privilege of using electricity, and to permit at the present time | the use of electricity on Geary street from Taylor to Grant avenue may and probably will jeopardize & con- | tinuous franchise for that street. No competing com- | Cook. | William Ringrose; Farand, Mrs. H. McCarth; pany will desire to build a road over a line partly oc- cupied by the combine’s cars. Eternal vigilance, as we have said, is the solution of this difficulty. The Supervisors will be recreant to their trust if they are fooled into giving away Geary street to this grasping corporation. A few pessimists are of the opinion, judging from the name of the cruiser bearing the Samoan Commis- sioners to Apia, that their High Mightinesses are in a fair way to Badger somebody. & ENTRIES FOR THE ; BIG DOG SHOW OLLOWING are the entries for the great bench show which will open next week: Mastiffs, puppy dogs—Bueno Montez, W.
