FEW weeks ago a delegation of Los Angeles f\ obbers met the traffic officials of the Southern | Pacific and Santa Fe raiiways in this city with “he purpose of inducing the latter to establish the | same rates per mile from Los Angeles to San Joaquin Valley points as are in force or might be established | from San Francisco to said points. As our Los An- [ geles friends have attempted to pose as the unself- h benefactors of the valley merchants by assuring the latter that the sole purpose of the former is to se- e reduced freight rates from Los Angeles, it is el here to note that the Los Angeles delegation plainly stated that it mattered not to them how the railroads accomplished this equalization of mileage | rates—whether by raising the rates from San Fran- This re- discloses | | cu | cisco or reducing them from Los Angeles | moves the Py | proposition as it is—one of plain, ¢ mask of philantl Th | Los Angeles merchants wish to sell goods in the San | Joaquin Valley without yielding up any portion of | their profits in the equalization of freight rates, and ‘therefore ask the railroads to relieve them of the ne- cessity for so doing.

FOR ONE CENT LETTER POSTAGE. OTERS of the Fiith Congressional District have \/ v local interests “)‘ich Mr. Loud has pro- | moted and can find i them ample reasons for | re-clecting him, but over and above all matters of that kind there are other reasons why they should return him to Congress. Mr. Loud is in the fullest sense 2 national statesman, and ever since entering House of Representatives has been nc!"vcly engaged n promoting measurcs designed to benefit the people | of the whole country. | Among the measures of national importance, such as those providing protection to American industries and the establishment of a sound monetary system, which he has supported in common with all Republi- cans, there are some with which he is particularl | identified. Among these are plans for the improve- i ment 6f the postal service in such a way as to make | it possible to establish a one-cent rate for letter pos: | age without loss to the Government. That was one | of the main objects of the “Loud bill,” of which there | has been so muich talk ever since it was presented. The bill, as will be remembered, provides for such an amendment of the existing postal laws as will pre- vent the abuse of the second class mail privilege, an abuse which entails a heavy loss to the department { and benefits no legitimate industry of the country. { For an understanding of that measure it is to be ibnme in mind that when Mr. Loud entered Cong-ess lin 87 he was undoubtedly better informed upon the | postgl matters than any other man in the House, hav- ing made a thoropgh study of them during his service in the Postoffice of this city. The first two Congresses in which Mr. Loud served were under the control of Democrats, and consequently, while he was-appointed to the Postal Committee, he could take no initiative ia postal legislation. Wthen the Fiity-fourth Congress was organized, with Tom Reed in the chair, Mr. Loud was appointed chairman of the Postal Commit- tee and at once began to institute those reforms and extensions which have so much improved the ser- vice of late y Among the measures he designed was that of placing the department upon seli- supporting basi The famous, Loud bill, aiming at the prevention of the =buse of second class mail pri\_~i— leges by those who have no right to such privileges was the result. Hardly any important reform of re- { cent times has been more violently opposed or more misrepresented by the opposition. Mr. Loud suc- | ceeded in getting it through the House in 1807, but | it was defeated in t‘he Senate. The fight, therefore, is stll unfinished, and it rests with the voters of the | Fiith District whether or no the champion of postal | reform and cheaper letter postage shall be deicated | in the interests of men and corporations who are profiting by an abuse of the exjsting law. i Of Mr. Loud’s earnestness and zeal in this con- test for the public interests there can be no doubt. i His persistence in continuing the fight in the face of a | most powerful opposition has heen as remarkable as | the nature of the opposition itself.. He has studied the subject so thoroughly that his knowledge of pos- | tal affairs, not of America only but of foreign coun- tries, is superior to that of any other man in Ameri- | can politics. He has worked in the postoffice and he knows the subject not only by study but by practical | dealing with it. His management of the postal legis- | Iation of Congress for the last five years has already | resulted in marked improvements, among which may | be mentioned the extension of the rural delivery ser- | vice. | Itis Mr. Loud’s desire to put the Postoffice Depa~t- ment on a paying basis, so that one-cent letter post- age can be adopted zt an early date. His efforts in that direction have had the indorsement of every business organization in the Union. All citizens are | interested in these improvements, for all will be bene- fited by them. The voters of the Fifth District should ! be proud to be represented in Congress by a man whose national statesmanship is recognized all over the Union and whose work has been so widely bene- ficial. a ! VALENTINE @ND COERCION. HEN addressing a political meeting in Oak- land on Saturday night John J. Valen pr- sident lis-Fargo Express Compar stated he had received a letter intimating that would be removed from his office if he did not cease advocating the election of Bryan. When asked by a | reporter to give the name of the author of the letter Pe declined to do so, saying it was confidential. The only information he would give is that the letter is from a banker. He is reported to have added that he | referred to it at the meeting only “to illustrate the | fact that there is a disposition to coerce people in this | campaign.” The cry of coercion in the campaign is not a new | of he one. It was raised Ly the Bryanites four years ago and has been erted more than once this year. It | is therefore an issye in which the people have an in- | terest, and, moreover, that interest is one of some importance. An attempt to coerce or to intimidate voters is about as gross an offense as can be com- mitted. If, therefore, an attempt has been made to coerce Mr. Valentine it is his duty to expose the of- fender. He should not keep as a confidential secret a letter from a banker threatening him with a loss of his office merely for supporting Bryan.’ If Valentine stated correctly the purport of that banker's letter, his duty as a citizen is plain. He should publish the letter. That would be a benefit to the public, for it would have the good effect of put- ting before the people a specific offense of the kind complained of by the Bryanites and giving the coun- v a chance to estimate just how far the intimida- seriously meant and how far it is dangerous. We can hardly hope that Valentine will make the letter public. It is easy for a tax-shirker to become a shirker of all sorts oi public dutie Moreover, in making ‘charges of intimidation Valentine is walking | on ground that is dangerous for him. He is known to have been sending his anti-imperial circulars to the | i employes of Wells-Fargo and also to employes of the | Southern Pacific Company. These pamphlets de- nounce McKinley and advocate the election of Bryan. The employes of Wells-Fargo know that Valentine is | president of the company, that he has power to dis- charge them, and it is therefore natural they should draw from the pamphlets the cnnchpion that Valen- ! tine demands they shall vote for Bryan. It will be difficult for any one to explain why Valen- | tine sent his pamphlets to his subordinates in the ex- | press company upon any other ground than that of an intention to influence their votes. He has not, in- deed, declared an intention to discharge any one who does not read his circulars and support Bryan, but he lias certainly made known to them how he wishes | them to vote, and clearly conveyed to them the in- | timation that if they wish to stand well with the cor- | poration they must stand for the Democratic candi- date. Was the confidential letter of the banker to Valen- tine any worse than Valentine's circulars to his em- ployes? That question cannot be answered until the letter has been made public. We challenge Valentine to publish it and let the voters judge. —— s e The “khaki campaign” in Great Britain has been a great deal more successful than the genuine campaign | in khaki made by the British in South Africa. Salis- | bury is over all his troubles and has rest in sight, but { Roberts is still hunting for Boers and finding them | every now and then where he was not looking for | them. The secret spring of Webster Davis’ eloquence for | the Boer cause scems to have been discovered. The ex-Assistant Secretary of the Interior is accused of | having attuned his voice to the jingle of Boer gold. | This appears to be no good reason, however, why he should espouse the silver cause as well. If the international concert is not doing any better through the channels of secret diplomacy than it is | through the various rotes that are made public, the ! pac?cafion of China is going to be a continuous per- _forfhance to the end of the twentieth century. Campaign orators will soon be at-a loss to persuade their hearers that the Filipinos do not take readily {and quickly to American civilization. Most of the Filipino Judges have been discovered to be no- toriously and shamelessly dishonest. The friends of E. T. Cosper of Kings County, who iha\-e encouraged his appearance on the platform, should advise him that the famous weapon of Sam- 1son is not dangerous in these modern days of war. fare. @ttt A e '%'UP TO-DATE. E. F. BERNHARD, FRESNO DEMOCRAT, DECLARES FOR PRESIDENT McKINLEY SRS SHOIE & To the Present Administration, He Says, Cali- fornians Owe All the Prosperity They Now Enjoy. ool MIL F. BERNHARD, a prominent Democrat of Fresno, and who Is well-known throughout the San Joaquin Valley, has announced that he intends to vote for McKin- ley and Roosevelt. Mr. Bernhard is one of the ‘active members of the Fresno Chamber of Commerce and one of the or- ganizers of the San Joaquin Valley Com- mercial Agsoclation. He was a member and secretary of the committee that three vears ago mafle the successful campaign against the New York Importers who were endeavoring to prevent the increase of the tariff*on raisins from 13 to 2% cents per pound and on Zante currants from 11 to 2 cents per pound. Mr. Bern- hard comes from a Democratic family and has voted the Democratic ticket since attaining his majority in 1882. In the fol- lowing statement he tells éwh)' he will <inley for President: e S IS anclsco Call: President McKiniey is a true American and a great statesman. The principles of government advocated and practiced by him are for the best interests of the people. ~ His patriotism, ability and honesty of pur- pose shouid commend him for the sup- port of every loyal American who lleves that good and honest government is superior to party considerations, and who has the moral courage to rise above party prejudices, assert his manhood and cast a vote in accordance with these con- victions. “In view of the great change made in the history of the world in the past three vears, the successful termination of the international complications with which this country has had to contend and the masterly and successful manner in which they have been handled ought to appeal to every patriotic citizen who loves his home and honors his country\to show his appreciation of the administfation that has placed this great republic in a 8- tion to command the admiration and re- spect of all the powers of the gorld. ““In_his selection of officers for the army and diplomatic representatives to conduct negotiations he "has risen superior to party lines and demonstrated his loyalty and patriotism by the selectfon of men of integrity and ability regardless of po- litical affiliation. “The Pacific Coast owes to the policy of the present administration all the pros- perity which it now enjoys. A great and growing trade has been opened with the Philippines and the Orient. Without pro- tection the frult, raisin and other indus- tries of this coast will be destroyed. “I cannot support Mr. Bryan because he and the leaders of the Democratic party do not seem to have realized that the history and the conditions of the | country have changed during the past few sars and that if the people are to pros- Der a new and progressive policy must be adopted to meet the changed conditlons.
