- { BRADY’S TELEPHONE BILL. SSEMBLYMAN BRADY’S resolution pro- fl posing an amendment to the constitution for the purpose of providing for the regulation of | telephone rates may or may not be a good measure | advocated from an honest intent for the public wel- | fare; but, whatever be the merits of the resolution or the motive that prompted the author, it will have at any rate the good effect of at once attracting pub- lic attention to the need of devising some system for the regulation and the taxation of telephone corpora- | tions. | It will be remembered that hardly had the new char- ter of this city been adopted when it was discovered, too late, that telephone companies are exempted by it from municipal regulation. The astute Mr. Pills- bury, attorney for the company, with the acquiescence | of Mayor Phelan, had worked the scheme upon the voters and put the charter throygh with that glaring defect in its terms. Being thus cunningly saved from municipal regu- lation in this city, the managers of the corporation | have resorted to tactics equally cunning to evade taxation. The main office of the Pacific States Tele- phone Company was removed to Portland, Or., to escape State taxes, and the main office of the Sunse: Telephone Company was removed out of this county for the purpose of escaping city taxes. It will be seen that under the existing order of things the telephone company is virtually absolved from all duties to either the city or the State. While all other corporations dealing in what are known as public utilities are subject to municipal supervision and regulation, that corporation is free, and while ! Che lso< Call. THURSDAY.

The Brady resoluticn comes from ~a suspicious ource, for the author is so close to Martin Kelly that but little confidence can be placed in his pro- d zeal for the public good. It may be the resolu- tion has been introduced solely for the purpose of forestalling another and perhaps a better bill, or it may be it has been put forward merely to be with- after it has served some purpose of its author and his friends. All of these probabilities must be | taken into consideration by the Legislature. The honest members of both houses should study the reso- | lution closely and watch carefully every step of its | progress. The issue is one of the most important of | the session, and care should be taken to see that it be not cunningly sidetracked. SL‘nited States Agricultural Department, who has recently returned from Alaska to make his third annual report of the results of agricultural experi- menrts there, is reported from Washington to be quite sanguine that Alaska will eventually be able to pro- duce all the food supplies necessary for the mainte- nance of a white population. The experimental work which during the first year was carried on mainly at Sitka has now been extended up the coast as far as Cook Inlet. It consisted in attempts at the cultivation of a large van*tfy of cereals and vegetables, and it is said that considerable suc- cess has been attained at many points.

ENRI DE BLOWITZ, the famous Paris. cor- H respondent of the London Times, is not among the optimists who prophesy peace for Europe in the near future. He perceives in the prospects ahead not only signs of war, but reasons for believing that war is inevitable. He has summed up his opinions on the subject in a paper in the current number of the North American Review, under the title, “Coming Events and Present Problems,” and | | furnishes strong arguments to justify his gloomy view | | of the situation. ] The article opens with a declaration that ‘Western | | Europe, and patticularly France, is suffering from | .. social parasites, who are consuming its substance and destroying the vitality of government. To them are to be added as further evils in society the shiftless gives the name “poscur” and whom he describes as “the man of universal pretensions who is always ready with an explanation, always ready to redress everything, and who fancies he has the right to occupy any place and play any role he fancies.” the newand improvededi did not take me long It is asserted that the malady caused by the three | that offer, as I am sure the new| bad social types “must be climinated by France and by |edition of the Atlas wi all Europe if France and Euro ' diversely therefrom, would escape perdition,” and it is added: “In my opinion the problem of the sup- | ¥+ th the subscription pression of this malady of social parasitism is to-day | PATOWN in. Respectfully, the most pressing and serious one with which the cen- tury now opening will have to deal.” From that point the writer goes on to say he does not believe the twentieth century will equat the nineteenth in the greatness of its achievements for humanity. He says: “The new century will have to Advantage of the Offer. ol e S NSRS A I e R e e st ===y OFFICE OF Smmmt—o J. B. BROWN, Coanty Superintendent of Schools. 8““", %‘4 . W. S.

If the United States is swept away by the wind of imperialism it must make ready to sustain during the coming century formidable struggles in order to assimilate what is still wanting to the satisfaction of its imperialist dreams, and no time should be lost in the preparation of the means which will permit the seriou‘s realization of this ideal.” The source from which Blowitz expects the first wars to arise is Austria. He says: “In the center of Europe I see war break out on the morrow of the death of Francis Joseph.

Hundreds and hun- dreds of people throughout the State look at it in the same light as Super- interdent Brown of Humboldt. Their tes- timony to the same effect is being taken daily in each of The Call's local agencies throughout the State. Subscriptions are piling in on all sides to such an extent that the force in the circulation depart- ment at the home office has been doubled and its work keeps piling up. All of which zoes to show that the peo- ple of California know a good thing when they see it. “Knowing the great value of the older editions of Cram’s Atlas of the World,” as Superintendent Brown says, it requires no puffing to convince an; ene that the 191 edition—the exclusive handling of which on this coast has been — confided to The Call—is a marvelous work, worth a great deal more in itself than the small premium at which it is offered.

One of the greatest wars of history will follow, and when it is ended there will be a new Europe. Such is the forecast for the century made by one of the acutest observers of the times. It closes with a statement of more than ordinary interest, that the supreme work of the twentieth century will be the discovery of the full meaning and potency of elec- tricity. Blowitz says: “The solution of all the problems which are tormenting the human mind 1s bound up in this one. This solution will suppress frontiers, change the alm of armies, subject the plane. tary spaces to the human will, modify altogether the faith of the race, and give in general to the efforts of its intelligence a fresh direction and an object as ‘W.

Kadiak and neighboring islands and the large region westward is covered with abundant grass, and cattle are being successfully raised.” Of course too much in the way of expectation must not be based upon these reports. It is one thing fo- a Government to raise grain and vegetables in Alaska by way of experiment, but it will be quite another thing fos an individual to undertake it as an industry. Still the results attained are unquestionably encour- aging. In her minerals and her fisheries Alaska has resources of great value, but the cost of providing food/supplies for the persons operating them consti- tutes a serious difficulty in the way of their develop- ment. If therefore Alaska can produce vegetables. hay and grain sufficient for men and animals working along the coast the progress of the Territory may be | much more rapid than even the most sanguine have expected. FRUIT GROWING IN ENGLAND. RITISH newspapers are noting with consider- able satisfaction certain statistics showing a rapid increase in the cultivation of fruit in Eng- land. Cheap grain of all kinds and cheap meats shipped from foreign countries have made British ag- riculture a very dubious industry for many a year past, and it now appears that.in some districts the land-owners are converting their fields into orchards. In summing up the reports on the subject the Westminster Gazette says: “Three years ago the area under fruit was so nearly stationary that in 1808 bush fruits showed only the infinitesimal increase of thirty- nine acres. Last year the increase was 1773 acres, while this year it has again risen by 2254 acres, and orchard lands have at the same time increased by 3526 acres. The increase is not very great as yet, but it is progressive, and, taken in connection with the yearly shrinkage of cereal areas, is significant.” The planting of so many additional acres of land in fruits is perhaps an evidence that agriculture in England has about reached its limits. Growing bush fruits may be more profitable in that country just now than any other form of rural industry, but it can eas- ily be overdone. Moreover, as facilities for transpor- tation increase it will not be very long before such fruits can be imported from abroad more cheaply than they can be grown at home. Then the orchards will be aBout as unprofitable as the wheat fields or the | pastures, In fact, it seems the British will hardly be abla much longer to maintain any of their agricultural in- dustries in the face of the competition permitted by unrestricted freedom of trade. The British them- to his knives. selves understand that well enough, and there is even Captain J. B. Overton, superintendent of the Virginia Water Works at Virginia City, is a late arrival at the Russ. George E. Morse, clerk of the United States District Court, has returned from a visit to his uncle, President McKinley, in Washington. —_————— CALIFORNIANS IN WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—A. B.

ITH every new demand for special information Walong lines not covered fully by the general newspaper there comes promptly a periodical to supply it. The expansion of Pacific Ocean com- merce with its stimulating effect upon the trade of San Francisco has created such a demand on the part of our manufacturers and merchants, and accordingly the required publication has come. It is called the “Pacific Exporter,” and is under the editorship of E. Elisworth Carey, who, it is announced, has spent two years in the Orient and is well posted on trade topics in that part of the world. The first number of the publication is a very attrac- tive one, not only in appearance but in contents. It contains a sufficient number of illustrations to give it liveliness, but the real object of the paper, that of giving commercial information, is not sacrificed to pictures. In fact, the table of contents is sufficiently notable to carry the publication to success even if it were less handsomely illustrated than it is. We cannot at this time have too much in the way of information concerning Pacific Ocean trade, nor too much in the way of stimulus and encouragement to our enterprising men to embark in it. Consequently the Pacific Exporter is sure of a cordial welcome to the field of trade journalism in California and bids fair to attain there a success that will fitly reward the efforts of its promoters. JANUARY 20, 1901. An American citizen who was subjected to gross outrages by Portuguese authorities in South Africa demands $100,000 in damages from Portugal. Under the law which makes a principal responsible for the acts of his agents England ought to be forced to pay the bill. The West Point cadet who was asked to tell whether his conduct to his weaker fellows was barbarous, brutal or cruel made the natural answer when he re- plied that hazing was cruel. It is a wise barbarian or brute who can see himself as others see him. A bill has been introduced in the Legislature to prevent legal sharks from robbing the estates of the dead in administration. The Chretien case should be reasonably good evidence to show that the Penal Code already supplies an adequate remedy.
