ITH some of the minor features of the controversy between the United Rail- roads and their emplgyes the public has no concern, but with the issue as a whole public concern is not less than that of either the employes or the com- | pany. Street railways were at one time a public convenience, but they have {now become a public necessity. Many thousands of people are dependent upon them for dences and their places of business. Should the pres- |ent controversy result in a strike, tying up the lines and suspending the traffic, the pub- [ic would suffer. Consequently the people have a right to intervene in the struggle and in- | sist upon the unobstructed maintenance of the streetcar service. f Less than a vear has passed since the last strike of the carmen, and now another | JH 19, 1903, GOLDEN GATE’S GOLD IS FOUND UNDER THE SEA TR MORE BILLS ARE SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR SACRAM TO, March 18.—Governor Pardee to-day signed thirty of the bils ROAD WILL TAP THE RICH COFFEE FINCAS| e C.

In the former strike popular sympathy was with the men. Their demands ;iu the main were reasonable. and the company, under its new management, conceded them. ! To-day a new issue arises.

THE ISTHMIAN CANAL. iast we have the canal bill passed and the canal ‘treaty with Panama ratified by the Sen- So far as our part is concerrfed the pre- liminaries are finished. It is now for the Colombian Congress to act. Should they insist upon amending the treaty the whole subject will be once more in the air and will have to go over to the next meeting of our Congress. It is therefore a little bit too early to celebrate. If the opposition to the canal choose to continue the fight it would not be very difficult for them to induce a faction in Panama to object to the treaty and force an amendment. Until that possible obstacle has been safely passed we are not sure that the great work is to be undertaken without further delay. It seems to be understood at Washington that there will be some objection in the Colombian Congress. It was largely for that reason that none of the amend- ments proposed by Senator Morgan were agreed to, for it is understood that the treaty as it stands is much more likely to be ratified by the Colombians than an amended treaty would be. The Senate, in fact, has done its best to support the administration in forwarding the work and has been careful to avoid anything tending to cause delay. It is a gratiiying feature of the long contest for the enterprise that from first to last it has never been a partisan measure nor subjected to partisan oppo- sition. Although the Democrats of the Senate voted solidly for the Morgan amendments, they did not vote against the treaty when the amendments were rejected. The enterprise is a thoroughly national | one, as it should be, and when once begun will be carried vigorously forward no matter what adminis- tration be in power. It is fortunate for the country that we have in the Presidency so cnergetic a personality as that of Mr. Roosevelt to give impetus to the work. He can be relied upon to set things moving at the earliest pos- sible moment. In a time comparatively short; there- fore, the treaty may be ratified in Colombia and the ate. will be permitted to stop it. The fight for the canal has been a long and often a doubtful one, but vic- tory is in sight at last and the tireless promoters of the enterprise have good reason to congratulate one another. The best laid plans for giving moral instruction sometimes go wrong. A Kansas moralist recently tndertook to provide an object lesson for a lot of schoolboys on the subject, “The Bread of Life.” He carried before the class two loaves of bread. One was saturated with molasses and coated with sugar, but was filled with gravel: the other was a plin loaf, but was fresh and good throughout. He ex- pected the boys to perceive the evil of the one and the good of the other, but he was mistaken. The boys unanimously chose slices of the sugared loaf. They licked off the candy and threw the gravel away. As for the plain loaf, they would not touch it at all. They were not hungry for anything except taffy, and they knew how to get that without swallowing too | much. —_———— The advertising spirit seems to pervade the people of Oakland as an essence essential to their character.

D firmness with which the Senate responded to the criticism of Mr. Cannon just bgfore ad- journment of the regular session oi Congress, it ap- pears that the leaders have taken a sober second thought and will make an earnest effort to provide for such a change in the rules of the Senate that i!‘ will no longer be possible for a single Senator to de- | feat a bill or force a majority to fashion it according' to his will. In replying to the threat of Mr. Cannon that pub- lic sentiment would force the Senators to conform to the principle of majority rule, Senator Allison said the Senate would continue “to govern its practice in accordance with its own best judgment,” and would not accept dictation from the outside. Since then the Senator has scen cause to be a little less stern in dealing with the issue. He recently introduced a resolution authorizing the Committee on Rules to re-examine the rules of the Senate with the view to ascertaining what changes, if any, are necessary, and especially to make inquiry whether it is expedient to in any way limit debate in the Senate, and, if so, to what extent. The resolution further provides that the committee is authoried to sit during the recess of the Scnate and is directed to submit a report to the Senate of its conclusions as soon as practicable after the beginning of the session next December. The mere presentation of such a resolution is not in itself a matter of much moment. The question of fixing a limit to debate has often been discussed and the committee in charge has frequently had it under consideration. The significant feature of the present movement is that it is made at a time when the Senate is under fire and when public attention is fixed on the subject. The issue, in fact, has now become one of practical politics, and it behooves the Sena- tors to take action while there is yet time for them to take it without appearing to bend to outside in- fluence. Should they fail to do so, and the House under the lead of its Speaker make a clear issue on the point over some matter of first-rate importance, there can be no question but the sentiment of the country would be on the side of the House and the Senate would be forced to yield. While there is thus some probability that better rules will be adopted by the Senate at the beginning of the next Congress, the public must not expect too | much. Such reform as stands any chance of adoption will be very moderate indeed. Several Senators are | reported as saying they would favor the adoption | of a rule providing for closing debate by a vote of | three-fifths of the Senate. while others hold out for a three-fourths vote. Neither of those. propositions comes anywhere near majority rule, and yet we shall hardly get anything much better. Still the main thing in affairs of this kind'is to make a beginning. When once the reform moyement has been started it will not be very difficult to keep it going until really effective reforms have been attained.
