ITH the consummation of the plans by which the Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific railway systems have been merged under the ‘control of a single exccutive, an opportunity has come for the beginning of 2 new era in our commercial and It is an opportunity not to bz Progressive men in every advantage of it. The time has come for our mer- chants, manufacturers and producers to speak out: to make known to the new managers of the road the full extent of the business interests of the State and the means by which they can be advanced. The combination in itself is not inimical to us.” On the contrary it is distinctly promising of good. Under the old system of railroading California has, been isolated not only geographically ‘But commercially. Bad as was our geographical situatioh’ with respect to markets, it was made worse by a syStem of raifroad | ing that extorted from this State all the tfaffic. would bear, for the purpose of supporfing all médnner of schemes from corrupting Supervisors if San Fran- cisco to building a shipyard at Newport News. In- ed at one time when the people of California were asking in vain for a speedy closing of the gap in the coast railway line, it was learned that the president of the Southern Pacific was subscribing money for the construction of a railway in South Africa. In times past every “railway fight” ‘caused by competition among the great trunk lines between the West and the t brought about an ingreased burden upon us. In this State the Southern Pacific had no competition, and what it had to lose in Strug- | gling for traffic elsewhere it made up by extortion here. By reason of that fact transportation rates were uncertain quantities. Discriminations of all kinds were practiced; and to such an extent were they car- ried, and with such an' autocratic power were they | exercised, that even the strongest firms in the State hardly dared to complain lest the railroad should put them on the blacklist and injure their business. The new combination changes all that. So far as transportation is concerned we are no longer isolated. Our city and our State have now become a part of the genera! field of a railway system that embraces the whole country. San Francisco has been united with St. Louis, Chicago and New York. It is no longer an outside point. It has beome a-part of the great ring. As the commerce of the Pacific Ocean ap- proaches in bulk and in value that of the Atlantic, San Francisco will approach the importance of New York; and the transportation lines across the continent, hav- ing an equal interest in both points, will have no inclination to be ddverse to our prosperity. Such is the promfise of the situation. It is there- | fore important that at this juncture there be an early presentation of the case of California and San Fran- cisco to the managers of the new system. They should be informed of the evils imposed by the old system, of the unjust discriminations against us, of the extortion practiced upon us, of the corrupting in- fluence of Southern Pacific politicians, of the handicap put upon producers, manufacturers and merchanis by the adverse ireight rates imposed. They should also be informed of what is needed in the way of reform. The abounding resources and industrial and | commercial advantages of the State should be made known to them, so that they may understand how f profit will come to themselves by increased traffic should they change the policy of the old com- pany and ‘reat the State and the city with fairness. To that end the business men of the State should There i3 n0othing to be gained at this time by hesitation or by following the promptings of fear. That would be but a coward policy: and in junctures Let us have in this issue co-operation in all parts of the State. The time has come to act. P . OUR INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS. VLY a short time ago The Call had occasion O to direct attention to statements made in Pari, and in Vienna concerning the alarm felt in France and Austria cver the force of American competition with the industries of Europe. increasing | Since then Consul Mason at Berlin has forwarded 1o the State Department an article in one of the leading pepers of Germany repeating the same cry of danger tc Europe and pointing out the competition should be met. The German writer does not favor how | prohibitive tariffs on American goods nor govern- mental action of any kind that would lead to retalia- tion. His plan is safer and wiser. He would have eople study American methods, profit by them and, if possible, excel them. After reviewing the rapid growth in the amount | of our exports of manufactured goofls the writer says all who are familiar with the facts “will agree that the threatened danger from America is neither exagger- | ated nor painted too darkly, but is, in fact, real and serious. But the mere recognition of the peril avails nothing: what is demanded is to face it, to overcome it, or at least to minimize as far as possible its effects. We must ask ourselves whether this is still possible, and if so what are the means, the methods, that must be employed to secure a successful result.” Proceeding to the task of answering the question the writer adds: “We must fight Americanism with its own methods: the battle must be fought with their weapons, and wherever possible their weapons must be bettered and improved by us. Or, to speak with other and more practical words, Germany—Europe— must adopt improved methods in every department of indastry, must use more and more effective machinery. Manufacturers as well as merchants must go to.Amer- ica, and send thither their assistants and working- men, not merely to superficially observe the methods there employed, but 10 study them thoroughly, to adopt them, and wherever possible to improve upon them, just as the Americans have done and are stiil doing in Europe.” It will be seen the writer attributes our success in the industrial world mainly to our machinery and our- skill and energy ‘in using it. A some- what different was taken recently by icrd Rosebery in an address before the Wol- verhampton Chamber of Commerce. He, in discussing what he called the “great commercial warfare waged against Great Britain,” said: “The Americans, with their vast and almost incalculable re- sources, their'aculencss-and enterprise, and their huge population, together with their modern plan of co- cperafive syndicates or trusts for the purpose of carrying on this great commercial warfare, are pe.- haps the most formidable. On the other hand, the Germans, with their calculating and conquering spirit, ard the energy with which they seize and use the best and most econqmical methods, are but little less re. doubtable than the Amegicans.” 5 From these statements we can estimate something. of the fear which has been aroused in Europe by our industrial invasion. Of course powerful peoples lik: those of Great Britain and Germany are not»g'ofn' to ‘surrender their markets without a prolonged struggle, and we are not to have an easy conquest despite our view immense advantage in the way of natural resources of | raw material and fuél. Transportation facilities will be important factors in the struggle, and we have thus another potent argument for legislation designed to provide a merchant marine equal to the needs of our commerce. = £ B tion there will be celebrated throughout the United States to-day the centennial of the acces- | sion of John Marshall to the office of Chief Justice of the United States. The celebration will be mainly in the hands of the bench and the bar, but in many localities the public schools will take part in it and the occasion will be employed in impressing upon the minds of the pupils the greatness of Marshall's char- acter and vast importance of his service to the nation. The man was well worthy of the honor that is to be bestowed upon his memory. He_may not have been the most:leflrhfd’ of lawyers or'the justest of judges, but he had an opportunity-g:ghter than ever before | fell to the lot of a judicial magistrate and he was equal 0 its requirements. ¥ : When he took his seat upon the bench it was stiil doubtful if the Union would live. It was a debatel subject whether the Constitution created a nation or was but a federal compact among independent | States. The organic law, although so wisely framed, was comparatively without life. It was a question whether it had vitality, enough to grow with the growth of the country and suffice for every emer- gency. A The issue was of prime importance, and it is in the ——— CHIEF JUSTICE MARSHALL. Y arrangements that have been long in prepara- Constitation at that juncture was intrusted to a man of the truest patriotism and broadest capacity. It is not too much to say that the preservation of the Union was due as much to John Marshall and his court as tc Abraham Lincoln and his army. Any weakness on the part of the Chief Justice at that early stage of the Union would undoubtedly have given the doctrine of State sovereignty a position in the precedents of the nation that would have prevented the federal union from ever becoming a national union. What was accomplished during the Civil War ‘was hardly more { than the enforcement of the decisions of the great Chief Justice. The importance of his service at that critical period of national development has long been recognized by the bench and the bar. It has been'said by Judge Story, who for many years served with him in the Supreme Court: “The Constitution, since its adoption, owes more to him than to any other single mind for its true interpretation and vindication.” From that opinion hardly any lawyer of learning will be found t» dissent; and it is an indisputable proposition that the Judge who gave vigor to the Constitution gave vig also to the nation that developed from the Constitu- tion. . | For anything like a proper appreciation of Mar- hall's work it is necessary to bear in mind that he had no precedents to guide him in his decisions. | Never had there been s court vested with such powers | as the Supreme Court of the United States, and | before his accession to the Chief Justiceship very few | constitutional questions had come before it for de- cision. He had to draw from the great principles of law conclusions applicable to cach case as it arose, and furthermore he had to apply those principles with i such wisdom and justice that they would be accepted by the whole body of his fellow citizens as final judg- ment upon the issues involved. That he accomplished all that the responsibilities | sl of the essential greatness of his inteilect, but a higher proof is found in the fact that aiter a century of ex- perience the nation has had no occasion to dissent from his general judgment, but many occasions to | rejoice that the foundations of constitutional law were | =0 wisely laid. It has been said that his epitaph could be written in a single line, “Here lies the interpreter of the Constitution.” Such a man well merits the high- est honors his countrymen can bestow upon his mem- ory, and the celebration of the centennial to-day | shodld be widely observed. THE ARID LAND QUESTION. Y steady if slow degrees the great problem of redeeming the zrid lands of the fation is mak- ing its way to the front as an issue of practical of bills dealing with the subject which have been pre- sented at this session of Congress. In their terms they vary from measures which go no further than to provide for experiments with irrigation in compara- tively small districts to comprehensive schemes for redeeming the whole arid region. One of the more notable of these measures is that bill provides that all moneys received from the sale arid region, excepting those set aside for agricul- tural and mining colleges, shall form a special funi for reclamation works. The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to make plans for storage works and to tc irrigate from them, and heis authorized to enter works, payable out of the arid land reclamation fund. Uron the completion of each irrigation project the total cost thereof is to be ascertained and divided pro rata per acre of the lands to be irrigated, and such amount shall be a charge against the lands as the ccst of the water right. It is further provided that the lands are to be sub- ject to homestead entry, each entry to be limited to eighty acres, and the water right is £6 be paid for in snnual payments extending over ten years. All moneys received from the sale of water rights are t> go into the reclamation fund. In all construction work eight hours shall constitute a day’s work, and none hat citizen labor shall be employed. An important feature of the measure is that it meets the objection made by Eastern Congressmen that the reclamation 6f the arid lands by the Government would be in effect to tax the East for the benefit of the West. The objection is not valid, for the lands after redemption would be available for Eastern home- seckers as well as for Western men, and the up- building of that great region would benefit all sec- tions of the Union. Nevertheless, since the objection is made it is just as well to meet it. By the New- lands scheme the fund for the redemption of the arid lards is to be obtained from the salé of Westera lands. Perhaps that will lead Eastern men to look upon the great enterprise with more favor, and if that be so a beginning of the work may be made much sooner than is now expected. e ————— Arlington, the deceiver of women, must go to San Quentin for life.

If anybody gives a lunch, sure as fate they choose Friday to entertain their fricnds. And so it goes on, Friday for all things and eyerything. It is a ter- rible strain; we are all tired out by Fri- day night. And besides that, it is a self- ish thing. It deprives many friends of the pleasure of leaving cards at friends’ homes. I have recently heard that there is going to be something done to lessen the I'riday evil.

The two new candidates for honors are Miss Bowie and Miss Lily Lawlor. Lily has been abroad before and has the prom- ise of highest honors held out ta her if she can manage to overcoxe her most unusual (for a California girl) complaint—-nervous- ness. Lily's teachers say she sings like an angel. These same teachers, critical and slow to praise, declare that hers is one of the most wonderful voices they have ever heard. But it is only her mas- | ters that can tell what Lily is doing and is capable of accomplishing, for no one else has ever heard her. She can’t sing before an audience, however limited. The presence of strangers or friends seems to stifie the glorious voice. Conquer this dreadful form of nervousness is what Lily is going to try to do on this trip.

All these vessels are to be de- livered within ten years. for this fleet is to be raised by a loan re- deemable in twenty-five years. : S Seventy-three accidents due to water- tube boflers have occurred in the French | pavy since 1890, of which fort as follows: Seventeen in bottom row; six to second and third row: six to the top row, and eighteen to Intermediate rows. Thirteen were six were due to bad circulation, slx were worn-out tubes and six tubes were of de- fective manufacture. s Seven vessels of the Gazelle type of German na They are named: Gazelle, | Nvmphe, Chetis, Niobe, Ariadne, Ama- { zone and Medusa, the last having been re- cently launched at Bremen. The Gazelle is 2650 tons and with 6000 horsepowar at- | tained a speed of 19.5 knots. Tke others are 2600 tons, ‘5000 horsepower and 213 | knots, but a recent trial of the Nymphe surprised the designers in that she devel- {.oped 9000 horsepower and a speed of 22.3 knots. « . . Three new line-oi-battle ships will be added to the German navy during the coming spring. They are the Kaiser Wil- helm der Grosse, Kaiser Barbarossa and Kaiser Carl der Grosse. The ships are | identical, of 11,08 tons, 13,000 horsepower { and 18 knots speed. The last two named are the first two battleships to bé bullt under the provisions of the new navy bill, | and five more are in course of construc- | tion and will be ready for launching in | about fifteen months. F R el A new classification of Uhnited States naval vessels Is being considered in Con- gress. It is proposed to include as first rate all vessels over 8000 tons: second rate, from 4000 to %000 tons: third rate, 1000 to 4000 tons, as well as auxiliary cruisers over 4000 tons. The fourth rate will in- clude vessels under 1900 tons. The present rating is vessels over 5000 tons as first | rate; 3000 to 5000 tons as second rate; third rate, 1000 to 3000, and fourth rate, those under 1000 tons. An arbitrary distinction, | however, is made as to converted cruisers, the Buffalo of €288 tons being a second rate, while the Yankee and Prairie of 6888 i and 6872 tons respectively are third rate. P attleship Barfleur on the China station ! was greatly exaggerated. Five gun sights ! were thrown overboard, and only six men | were implicated.

The cause of the | erty, and the crew have gained their point leave. dal is that a gunnery lieutenant has been held to bé tried by court-martial on the charge of Inciting to mutiny, which indi- cates tyrannical oppression on the part of at least one commissioned officer. R Two French submarine boats underwent a trial on January 9 last at Cherbours, and both boats were found to be in thorough working order. M. Lanessau, the Minister of Marine, made a submarine excursion in the Narval, and General Andre, Minister of War, went in the Morse. The two boats act somewhat dif- ferently when submerged, the Narval rolling and plunging, while the Morse is | steady. The submarine steering of the latter is effected by an apparatus called the “periscope,” consisting of a tube ris- | ing twenty feet above the hull, with mir- | rors reflecting the horizon. into the inte- rior of the vessel. The principal defect of the Morse lies in the fact that the motive | power is supplied by electric accumu- lators, the premature exhaustion of which might dgorive boat of all means of action, but thi€ defect can be ecasily remedied. . The claim is made for South Dakota that it has for the third consecutive year produced more wealth per capita than any other State in the Union, the total for this year beirtg $106,500.000.
