It is expected, of course, that the boards will let the | whites in and shut the blacks out, but it is said the requirement of a lawful occupation is aimed not at the blacks but at gamblers whom the convention de- sires to deprive of the franchise. In the Virginia convention Senator Daniel is said o have devised a plan which differs slightly from that of any other State. He proposes that a voter must hereafter possess property valued at $300 at least, must pay 2 poll tax of $2 at least six months before | election day and must be able to read the constitution or understand it when read~ All persons over 6o vears of age are to vote without challenge, as are all who have borne arms in the service of the United States, of the Confederate States or of the State of Virginia. But no veterans who draw salaries or pen- sions of any sort can claim exemption, thus barring | from the benefits of the waiver all the white or colored ex-soldiers who have taken or wish to take advantage of the Federal pension laws. His scheme also pro- vides, like that of Alabama, for the establishment of election boards having authority to admit to registra- tion as voters all “persons of recognized good moral character.” The Tennessee movement has not yet advanced far enough to disclose clearly what restrictions will find favor among the Democrats of that State. In Tennes- see the negroes were never numerically strong enough to control the politics of the State, and the effort to exclude them from the polls can be due to nothing more than a desire to imitate the action of other Southern States. In the meantime a number of negroes of means in Louisiana have organized to raise an issue before the courts which will test the constitutionality of the suf- frage law in that State. From that organization much good may come. It is quite possible that all these ingenious suffrage schemes which the Southern leaders have so cunningly thought out and so boldly put into effect may burst like a bubble at the first touch of the constitution of the United States, ¢ / | administration of a city? PURIFY CITY POLITICS. HE contest at the primaries next Tuesday is for the uplifting of the politics of this city, and putting its public affairs in clean hands. The present administra- tion of the city has been repudiated by its own party and the party organ. While that may not be significant, it is true that the administration has proved far from satisfactory to the people, and those who have the most at stake in the good name and prosperity of the city hope to see its affairs committed to more skillful and unselfish men. San Francisco has been boss ridden, and swarms of parasites have stung and bled her, She has suffered, morally and materially, from the control of men whose only in- terest in her was what profit they could get through a political control that was sought for personal and not public ends. Whenever this has been the case the business men, the citizens who furnish the capital and enterprise that make the city, have gone about the streets deploring copdi— tions that exist solely by their permission, The municipal government originates inthe primary, That is the fountain head, and the stream that flows from it will rise no higher than its source. If the primaries are given over to Martin Kelly, and result in the elec~ | tion of a ticket, we will have a Martin Kelly government, and those who have by indif- | ference permitted it will have no right to complain of the result. The outside world will have a perfect right to say that San Francisco wants that kind of a government, and the finger of scorn will be pointed not at the government, but at the people of the city. in the Mayor. Let us be under no illusions in the matter. That office is the prize sought by the political looters. { unlocks the municipal treasure house to the spoilsman. The most skillful and astute boss The charter concentrates great power It is the key that that ever ruled this city earnestly desired the affirmance of the right of Judge Wallace to remove the old Board of Supervisors. He said: “I wish that power to remove put |in.the hands of one man, one officer. Then.I will elect that officer, and if a Board ot Supervisors get stiff-necked I will oust them and appoint their successors, who will not be so stiff.” The Mayor now has the one-man power to remove and appoint. If Martin Kelly’s | ticket win at the primary and the polls, does any one doubt the realization of this | plan of the former boss? Does any one doubt that the fire, police, schools and public | works avill be given gver to Martin Kelly, farmed out by him to use as he pleases? Un- fortunately, he is at present figuring as a Republican boss.

We have only sought to open the way to the people to repudiate him and all his works. That way is open now, its traverse is safe for every man. Will the party walk therein next Tuesday? THE CANTEEN IN HAWAIL " meN 1 SPECIAL correspondent of the Qakland En- quirer, writing from Honolulu, says that since closing the canteen at our army post there the | officers have their hands full. There is a great increase in drunkenness among the enlisted men, and the change from the light beer of the canteen to downtown whisky has had a very de- moralizing effect. The city police are in continual trouble with the drunken soldiers from payday until the pay is spent in the deadfalls. The correspondent says that “the rules are such that after a man has com- pleted his duties, if he is not on guard, he may be absent until retreat is sounded, and then until ‘lights out’ he is free once more. This gives the chance needed to try and drink all the whisky in town, and the men who carouse will take it. In former times they had the post canteen, where they would gather and gossip and drink beer. The beer did not hurt them much in such surroundings, and the results of the operation of the system on discipline seemed the | best, when it was considered that the men would have their liquor. Now when there is no restraint of the camp around them, when they have whisky in- stead of beer for their beverage, the officers say that the men are more likely to get drunk and make trouble.” Captain Slaker, the commander of the post, says: “Since the abolition of the canteen, where the men could have their beer, right at home, there has been an increase in the number of arrests. The change has not been effective to prevent the men from having drink at all. If it did it would be all right, but it has driven them to seek the saloons,eand there they get, not beer, but whisky. The strong drink is what makes the trouble. “I am of the opinion that the temperance people, with the best of intentions in the world, have made matters worse. It was one fight where the saloons and those who oppose them were together when Con- gress abolished the canteen. The whisky men wanted it done away with so that they could have the soldiers to trade with them and drink their whisky. They saw the inevitable resuly. The temperance people did not see it as a choice between two evils, but, jumping to the conclusion that they could abolish drinking by doing away with the post canteen, aided the whisky men right along.” The experience of the army posts seems to be the same everywhere, though the efféct upon the men at posts in the tropics is likely to be more serious, since the use of whisky there has a very bad effect on the health of the men. e That the Demoeratic push should go to the aid of Boss Kelly in this fight is.not surprising. With them it is anything to beat the Republican party, and they know that in this selection the only way to do that is to help Kelly in his =fiw%fi a boss ticket under the Republican name. - 4 NEW TACTICS IN TRANSVAAL., OMETHING like 70,000 troops who have been S serving with the British colors in South Africa are to be sent home. One story says the men have been recalled by the British War Office because they are needed in India. Another story says they are to be sent home by Kitchener because they are not needed in Africa. As to which of the reports is true no cutsider can decide at thi moment. The one undisputed fact js that the troops are to be sent away from the seat of war and that new tactics on the part®of the British 3re to be employed. The withdrawal of so large a body of troops still leaves Kitchener with an army in excess of 200,000 men. He has 50,000 men organized and drilled as mounted infantry, and with these he intends to camp on the trail of thé Boer commandos and follow them wherever they go or until the last one of them sur- renders or is dispersed and broken. With the re- mainder of his force he will guard the railroads lead- ing to Johannesburg, and establish in that district a sufficient army to protect the gold mines and those who operate them. The new tactics are said to have been suggested by Lord Milner. It is the belief of that statesman that while little has been gained for the British by burning the Boer homesteads, much might be gained by reopening the mines and reviving industry. The argument is that if work be resumed and money be once more plentiful in and around Johannesburg a good many Boers who are now on the warpath would be inclined to settle down and go to raising supplies for the miners. In other words, the Boers are to be coaxed to come in and make money. Those who do so are to have the security that the British garrison can give. Those who do not are to be hunted over the veldt and the hills by the 50,000 horsemen specially detailed for that purpose. The new tactics may not prove more successful than the old, but they certainly cannot be worse or more ineffective. Kitchener's huge army has had no more chance to catch the nimble Boers than an elephant would have.to catch a flea. It has entailed a heavy expense and it has accomplished nothing beyond cap- turing towns and burning farmhouses. A smaller army, but with greater mobility, will not cost .so much and may be more effective. The reopening of the mines will unquestionably be an important feature in the new situation. Even if the Baers do not come in to share in the work and the wealth that will result from mining activity, the community as a whole will be bertefited. Anything that tends to revive the in- dustries of the Transvaal will be better than the policy of destruction which has prevailed hitherto. It is announced from Paris that the clever. chemists of the Pasteur Institute have succeeded in producing foodstuffs from absolutely inorganic matter, and if the report be true the time may come when man can live on rocks if the wheat supply fails. ® OIL TRANSPORTATION HEARING | RESUMED BY THE COMMISSION W ARV TS CHNITT AND HEBRRIN | Ly MEN WHO FIGURED IN THE OIL TRANSPORTATION RATE INVES- TIGATION YESTERDAY. | CONFER, e HE Investigation into ofl rates now on before the Board of Railroad Commissioners was resumed yes- terday. The session was fairly in- teresting and an adjournment was taken until 10 o’clock this morning. Ex-Judge Sterrett of Los Angeles. has been 111 for the last two days and there- fore has not taken part in the case. His assistant, Attorney Norton of Los An- geles, Is looking after the interests of the Santa Fe Railroad in the absencé of the chief counsel. The most important witness Interrogated yesterday was Captain Albert H. Payson, second vice president of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway Com- pany, which is now a part of the Santa Fe system. Attorney Short interrogated him on the cost of the road to Bakers- fleld. * He said it cost $21,000 a mile. He stated that $8,500,000 had been expended In lding the road and that there had been eficit in interest so far as the road is concerned. He said he could not give the amount of the deficit. The witness stated that the company had not completed its improvements and that thousands of dol- lars more would be expended. He said the road is still in process of construction. My estimate of the cost of the road,” he said, *‘does not include the ferry system. ‘We have expended at Point Richmond in a general way $300,000 for the yard and wharf. We are contemplating improve- | ments, but I could not say how much we intend spending. We are engaged in the acquisition of terminal facilities in San Francisco. We expect to expend $1,000,000 for real estate and the same amount for the improvement of China Basin. The $8,500,000 spent includes rolling stock.

He was asked a number of questions, all of which he sald he was unable to an- swer. When Interrogated by Mr. Herrin he testified that t#® railroad company only expected to transport crushed rock for road purposes for but a short distance and therefore would have to charge a higher rate than for long hauls. In re- sponse to question by Mr. Short he admit- ted that it would not be a fair {llustra- tion of what would be a proper charge for hauling oil from Bakersfield to San Fran- cisco, General Manager Julius Krutfschnitt ‘was recalled and asked to give the num- ber of items making up the cost of $231 per mile for the moving of freight trains. Thke witness gave only the items of in- terest amounting to 47% cents and fuel amounting to 32 cents, and stated that there were 170 other items. Mr, Short asked for them and the witness repeat- edly evaded the question. Mr. Krutt- schnitt gaye long answers, stating his theories of general principles of operating roads and expenses. At the conclusion of the dissertation Attorney Short, apparent- iy to end the matter, asked Mr. Krutt- ANSWERS TO QUERIES. ENGLISH BILLIARDS-E. R., City.

Willlam H. Allen Jr., who sald he was connected with a title insurance com- pany in Los Angeles, was the next wit- ness examined. Mr. Allen was a willing witness and his testimony was interesting to both sides. He sald he was a member of an ofl association in Los Angeles which was organized to better the condi- tions of the oil market in that section. He said it was because the ofl business was in a demoralized state that he ap- peared before the Commissioners in the interests of the Los Angeles oil producers, He said they were selling oil in Los An- geles at 74 cents, although some wells had been selling for less; that they could not produce®oil for less than 60 cents; that the Bakersfield oil could be produced at 20 cents per barrel, and that the price was regulated in Los Angeles by the price of Bakersfleld ofl, with the freight, 51 cents per barrel, added. Mr. Allen thought the reduction would not do eil producers any good. N Short Confildent of Winning. Attorney Short asked Mr. Sproule, who was recalled, about the McKittrick line. He desired to know whether the railroad company had not received mgore revenue from tbat line than from any similar line in the oil fields. Mr. Sproule said the Mec- Kittrick line was in operation long before the oil developments were thougpt of. He added that the Kern River business was something new and he had doubts as to its permanancy. W. A. Bissell, assistant trafic manager of the Santa Fe, was the next witness. He denied that his line hauied oil from Coal- inga. He said the Santa Fe hauled oil only from Bakersfield; that they com- menced to ship from that point as soon as the oil fields were opened; that at the present time the line was shipping from fifty to 150 cars a week from the oil flelds, and that the pusiness was constantly on the increase: Attorney Short attempted to Introduce a pamphlet on ofl, which contained clip- pings from newspaper articles on the production along the Southern Pacific road. Mr. Herrin said he had no objec- tion to its introduction if Mr. Shert would not object to him introducing cir- culars fssued by oil promoters. Attorney Short in an interview after adjournment stated that the case for the oil men was practically in; that from the testimony of the witnesses for the railroad he felt that even a stronger cass than expected had been made out; that the evidence had dicclosed the fact that the rallroad company was earning on a basis of $1,000000 a year from Kern County alone, which would probably be doubled within a year from this time: that their earnings on the Kern River spur amounted annually to the original cost of construction It. would be made perfectly apparent, he said, that the rafl- road company was making a profit far out of proportion to reasonable compensa-~ tion for services rendered, circumstances considered. il e @ A CHANCE TO SMILE.
