The Call hopes that everybody is now satisfied. The rortheastern property-owners are accommodated. The Merchants and its influence. The street railway monopoly has discovered that it is not omnipotent and that it takes at least seven Supervisors to’ consummate a steal. The community has reasserted its power and demon- strated that public opinion, deliberately formed and inexorably applied, is still controlling in American cities. Truth and justice have been vindicated, and apparently one battle royal is over. There are other things left that demand unrelaxing and determination. Politics must be cleansed and party methods substantially purified by decent and progressive citizens, who possess Ameri- can conceptions and are capable of administering purgative medicines without receiving their prescrip- tions from cranks or sentimentalists.

EPORTS from Washington are to the effect that the rapid increase of Japanese immigration to Hawaii has attracted the attention of our overnment and has given rise to no little concern in official circles. It is added the Bureau of Immigra- tion has undertaken to devise means whereby the im- migration may be checked, but inasmuch as Congress failed last winter to enact any permanent form of* gov- ernment for the islands, it is not easy to see what can be done. The subject was discuss d at some length during the 1d it was noted even then that the Japanese immigration was growing to cminous proportions. Statistics were cited showing that from August 12, 1898, when our flag went up at Hawaii, to January 6, 1899, there were imported | 30 contract laborers of all races, and from January last session of Congres! 6 to February 2 there had been added 2782, making | 10,412 in all. Some were Europeans, but most were Japanese and Chinese, the Japanese being in the ma- jority. It is now asserted on authority of an official report | irom Honolulu that since the annexation of the islands more than 12,000 Japanese have arrived at | that port, and no reason exists for believing the report to be exaggerated. In fact, Japanese labor has been | highly valued on the plantations, and the planters are doubtless doing all they can to encourage its immi- gration. We directed attention a short time ago to the un- satisfactory situation of white labor in the islands, as reported by the Hawaiian papers themselve Tt scems to be generally accepted there, as has been re- | peatedly said by The Call, that white labor is unfltted | | for the cultivation of tropical sugar fields. Of course | the United States cannot consent to permit the plant- ers to import coolic laborers to compete with the ]V\hite labor of this country. Hence the concern |among the officials at Washington and the efforts now | being made to devise some means of preventing a fur- ther Japanese immigration. According to the Inter Ocean, Senator Cullom, ‘prcsident of the Hawaiian Commission, said in a re- party of the | jary decency upon the | ipality and in this | interest. | come the indignation which | WELCOME FOR THE OREfiéN TROOPS. | But | cent interview that the commission has already done {its duty in this case. It has given the planters of Hawaii to understand that if they do not conform to the general policy of this country to prevent labor im- portation the plan of government for Hawaii now pending in Congress will be changed, and be less sat- factory to them. It is clear from the reports of the increase in the importation of cheap labor that the menace of the | commission is not so effective as Senator Cullom | thinks. The Government at Washington will have and the sooner the exertion is made the better. MORE THAN THE TRAFFIC WILL BEAR. NCE more the Southern Pacific monopoly in its persistent efforts to increase its burdens and irritations upon the public to the full ex- tent the traffic will bear has gone beyond the limit and aroused popular indignation to the point of re- sistance. It has undertaken to collect freight charges upon packages carried by passengers upon the ferry between this city and Oakland, and has begun the | extortion under such circumstances and in such a manner as to make it an absolute outrage. It appears that no notice was given to the public of the intention of the monopoly to enforce the newly devised exactions, but the employes at the efr- ries received orders to demand fare for parcels. Thus the outrage came upon the people in the nature of a surprise. It was another illustration not only Southern Pacific extortions, but of the Southern Pa- | cific insolence of method of putting its decrees into | | effect. to exert itself vigorously to put an end to the evil, | | improvement. before the 1st of September, when people begin to return from their vacation of course, sales are belng made daily, but they are for the most part small and of little consequence so far as giving any indication of the condition of the market is concerned. The few transactions that can be classed as big include the sale of the Taber property on O'Farrell street, adjoining the Orpheum, for $§0,000, men- tion of which was made last week, and the sale of the four-story brick building | and lot on the west side of Battery street, eighty feet north of Bush. The latter property was sold by Bovee, Toy & Sonn- tag to Belle Curtis and Lizzie Muir for W. B. Scholl, the price paid being $50,000. The latter firm also sold 277 acres in Santa Clara County, seven and a half miles from the railroad station, all in grain with the exception of nine acres which are in fruit, | including an eight-room house and two barns, for $16,500. The seller was James McMahon and the buyer the State Pack- ing and Fruit Company. Both of these deals have been on the tapis for some time past, and the former, while practically consummated, is not yet offictally announced. The favorable action of the Street Com- mittee of the Board of Supervisors on the corkscrew franchise is regarded as a great boon to the northern section of the of | city, especially that portion bordering on the bay. The railroad company has stated through one of its principal officials that the work of laying the tracks and putting the new line in operation will begin at once and be pushed to completion, and this action will undoubtedly be followed In the new venture the monopoly is evidently not | piaying for itself only. The Wells-Fargo Company | | will reap a share of the spoils to be exacted by the | | freight charges. I the extortion can be enforced a | good many additional parcels will be intrusted to | the company for transportation between this city and | | the communities on the other side of the bay, and | there will be more dimes taken from the public to | {increase the profits of that tax-shirking corporation. | Every step in this scheme from conception to en- | forcement shows an utter di citizens, an utter contempt for law and a complete in- | difference to popular sentiment. Believing itself se- | cure in the possession of a monopoly, the Southern | Pacific is reckless of all else. It has discovered a fic which it thinks can bear a heavier burden than been borne in the past, and proceeds to raise the rates. In the meantime the Wells-Fargo Company, the Iy that is to share in the plunder of the public, goes | | on with its old exactions of war taxes from its patrons Despite the dec that the war revenue act re-| quires express companies to affix the revenue stamps | to parcels passing through their hands, the company continues to enforce its demands, to exact its tribute, to rob the public and to enrich itself, with all the arro- ance of a power superior to Congress and to the people. It does seem at times as if all the devils that en- tered the Gadarene swine had from beasts to the managers of the Southern Pacific the Wells-Fargo companies a the nature of the hogs as well a tion or, to be more exact, its victims. sions of many cour , to the courts those and | 1 had carried some of | their own abomina- They seem so hent upon irritating as well as robbing the public that it is difficult to | credit them with ordinary good sense. | It may be that a competing line of ferry-boats is the | only effectual remedy for the repeated extortions and | outrages committed by the monopoly, but it is,} nevertheless, worth while for habitual passengers on the ferry-boats to make a fight.

San Francisco, therefore, will be the point | at which their welcome should begin, and the greeting here should be not less enthusiastic and loyal than that which will meet them in their own State. The date of the arrival transport cannot be fixed as accurately as’that an ocean liner, and therefore it is not certainly known at this time on what day the troops will arrive. at thing like thirty days may be counted on for t'.e voy age. That gives ample time to make such prepara tions as may be necessary to provide a welcome which | will assure the volunteers of the pride with which | their service in the Philippines is regarded through- | | out the Pacific Coast. | | of a of A stop will be made When the volunteers of the Eastern States returned from Cuba they with all the demonstrations of a patriotism still ardent with the glow of the war spirit which then had not died out of the public mind. The return of the Pacific Coast troops occurs under different conditions. The war | with Spain has become something of an old story, |and popular excitement has subsided. There remains, however, to animate the people, that principle of loy- alty which never weakens and which is ever ready to respond to every rightful appeal that may be made to |it. It is fair, therefore, to expect of San Francisco a welcome for the Oregon volunteers equal in every respect to that accorded the most favored State troops | | of the East on their return from Santiago. While the fighting in the Philippines has not held | | public attention so strongly as did the war wiih Spain, | while there are no longer great crowds swarming around the bulletin boards to catch every new report from the front, the contest with the Filipinos has heen on the whole more severe than that with the Spaniards, and the Pacific Coast troops have done | much more service than those of the East who fought |at Santiago. They therefore merit a higher reward | of popular applause and should reccive it from the people of whatever city first welcomes them back to the soil of the United States. It was from this port the Oregon volunteers set forth for the long voyage to the Orient, and to this port they return after having heroically served the republic and gloriously upheld the prestige of their State and their section. They are not Californians indeed, but they are Pacific Coast men and our fel- low countrymen.

To the Editor of The Call—Dear Sirt Inclosed find a statement’placing the position of the striking miners at Iron Mountain squarely before the public, as you have been publishing consider- able matter regarding the lock-out. We respectfully request that you give our statement position in your valuable paper. Thanking you in advance for thix favor, we remain, very respectfully, THE COMMITTEE. ‘We, the undersigned, constituting a committee of the employes of the Iron Mountain mine at Iron Mountain, Field- ing, Cal., controlled and conducted by the Mountain Copper Company, limited, beg leave to make the following statement re- lating to the strike declared on the 1ith inst.: On June 10 a grievance committee of twelve men waited upon Superintend- ent Archer and asked for, in behalf of the emploves of the corporation, a uni- form increase of 40 cents in all branches of the mining business. At the present time miners are receiving $2 60 per day, and the lower grades of workmanship from $1 60 to $2 10 per day, which in ou opinion is considerably below the av age schedule in force on similar proper- ties in this and other parts of the Sta ‘We believe our cause is a just one, an desire to inform the mining public to that effect. We also desire to draw attention to the state of affairs in the conduct of the boarding-house, which is controlled by the aforesaid corporation. In our opinion the food provided is absolutely unfit for human consumption, and in view of the fact that employes of the company are compelled to patronize the institution un- Zelingky (contractor), der penalty of discharge, we consider this feature a most deplorable one. The strike was a general one, over 50u men going out as against but two, who oppose them by remaining. We desire to publicly denounce them by subjecting them to the ridicule of their fellow-work- men. The striking workmen are behaving in a most orderly manner, notwithstanding their just grievances. They have left the vicinity of the property and are quartered in towns adjacent thereto. ‘We desire to call attention to these facts and ask all miners in sympathy with their fellow-workmen to assist us in bringing the strike to a successful termi- nation by refraining from offering their services to the corporation concerned. 8.
