A VITAL QUESTION.
The Oakland Tribune declares that tbo
coming State Road Convention involves
.(uostions which lie probably nearer to
the prosperity of the peoplo than any
other of looal character. This is true.
As onr contemporary well says :
It t.-ii'h.s the pockets ofthe producer as
directly as tl does tbe consumer's purse; the
real cut of tiio city has the same lnteresl In
good roads as do s th. Car er, for the cbar
_____ country highways inusr always
i veadlreel be__ring upon tlie price of farm
products anu eitv markets.
Right here, however, is where a large
number of agriculturists part company
v ith good roa.l agitators. They insist
tiiat country roads are the concern of
country people only, while the townsfolk
should center tbeir interest upon streets.
I!. say these objectors, all property aud
people should bear tho expense of road
making, then we of the country may as
w ell be called upon to bear a share of the
cost of street-making, for we use the
Blreots, too.
Tho lallacy of this argument is too ap
parent to need elaborate elucilation.
Municipalities are extra jurisdictional
atfaira. People erect them solely for
tlieir owu, not general convenience.
Hut roads are matters of State aud gen
eral concern. The municipal dweller
can not and uever has called upon any
one outside his city to aid in streot work;
I..it in tbo matter of couutry roads itis
very dillerent. They are arteries of
communication and transiiortation be
tween tbe several sections ot the State.
It ia time enough for our lriends to tako
on fear when townspeople ask them to
help build the city streets.
The Tribune thus continues:
\\ bat _....d ma s can accomplish for a com
munity or a common wes tb need nol
to conjecture. The inaugura ion ofaneraof
I*.-ad building in certain parte of New York,
New -i. rs y an.i Pennsylvania has resulted in
rf.i: appreciation ..t values in realty
a r.il urban prosperity. Whole dis
tricts which have been almost deserted have
taken a leap forward. Farms that were
abandoned have been again ooeapled,and a
condition of active prosperity in i
has followed the building of go.il
country roads.
ll would be Idle to utt.-nipt anestlman of
the actual annnal loss to the btrmersresult*
Ingfrom the present road system. Millions
of dollars are thrown away every year
through tlie had ma.is ot the State. More
than mi per cent* oi tbe money ann ually ex
] ended ser-.<s but ■ poor and shifty tempor
ary purpose, and every returning -
finds th. roads in the same broken,
lon.
in order to stop I nis annual drain—this inter
rest uponadebt which will never be Uq
nnder present oondiUi ns—a definite, pr
and continuous sysiem of Stat, highways
and mus, have a reci ■
pa i' _n th laws ..t California. The road
convention is an Initial step in tbe right di
rectlon. It should i.c preacned line upon line
In aver, paper in tbe state, and si.oul. I beat
tended by able .Oves from cv. ry
county from San Diego to Siskiyou.
That is well said. But whilo the call
for tbo convention is very broad, and the
day ol its assembling is not far off, less
than 100 delegates have boen chosen, aud
not half the counties have acted or
taken an iuterest in the matter. If the
1,-J will all attend it will be a line body,
for the delegates are picked men. But
will they all come?
The Supervisors of the counties could
Hot better disburse a portion of the fuud
tliey are allowed to use to encourage im
migration than to pay the expenses of
every delegate. It would be an invest
ment insuring large return, and directly
alleets the question of immigration.
The surveyors' reports, by the way,
are, we are informed, coming in finely. In
every case ther establish these facts:
First, that in teu years every county bas
spent enough money on indifl'erent and
dirt roads to build first-class, enduring,
easily maintained highways, if it had ali
been spent at once; second, that there are
but few miles of well-built, economically
constructed highways iv the State: third,
tbat the road tax, ranging from Is to 83
cents, is from one-half to ona-third higher
than if good roads were built; fourth,
that in no instance as yet has a road been
built except at too great cost; fifth, that
election toa Sunervisorshipdoes not qual
ify a man asa road builder: sixth, that tbe
contract and comprehensive system is
better by far tban auy district or local
system, and is advised iv every case by
the surveyors. Lastly, that good road
building is a technical business, and
should be engaged in only by those
trained to it.
A GOOU MON".
There are evidences that the money
withdrawn from banks recently and
hoarded in the seclusion of vaults and
private and secret depositories, is now
being brought to the light and invested
in real estate. This is especially noticed
in San Francisco, where the sequestra
tion has been greatest. Kven the letting
of sale deposit boxes is rapidly failing off.
showing that hoarded money is begin
ning to move.
As we havo elsewhere remarked, in
tight times there is no less money than
in Hush times-indeed there is more
money in the first instance, but it is
torpid, does not circulate, because thero
is lack of confidence in the security
offered. When, therefore, the offerings
are accepted, it indicates returning confi
dence aud renewal of the pulse beat of
money.
If real estate in California was at any
j time recently good security for invest
| ment it is precisely as good to-day, or
j better. In its real value, dependent
upon its productive capacity, there has
been no change. Bents have not fallen
along with money stringency, the de
| maud for shelter is as it was. It is there
fore an excellent sign of returning confi
dence when we find the hoardors of
money drawing it out of hiding for realty
investment.

FLAT FALSEHOOD NAILED.
The man who can read and will not is
not excusable for ignorance. There are j
men in Sacramento lighting tho clear j
water proposition, and industriously cir
culating tho story that if the ordinance is
approved, the water contractor will have
it in his power to raise water rates as he
pleases. This is llat falsehood, as any
who choose may ascertain who can road
the ordinance in the public prints. The
contractor has nothing to do with the
water rates aud cannot have, and even if
the Trustees wished to, they could not,
under the laws, give him power over the
rates. The city simply proposes to pay
so many ceuts for every million gallons,
in spot sums, ior water that is delivered to
her satisfaction. She fixes her own rates j
and collects them. What the falsiliers
will say of this plain statement of the
truth remains to be soen.
__s_
"Why does not the Treasury pay out
the silver and give us plenty of that cur
rency ?" ask the impatient advocates of
free coinage. The question is very easy
of answer. Every ounce of bullion in
the Treasury is mortgaged. The mort
gages are held by the owners of treasury
notes. These notes are payable either in
silver or gold. But the coin value of the
silver is greater than the bullion value,
so that, as a Boston commercial paper ex
plains, tho Government could coin out of
its bullion enough to redeem all the notes
and have a handsome surplus left. Now,
if the Government should pay out silver
for votes, the inevitable result wouid be
the depreciation of the silver coin anuVthe
consequent appreciation of gold, and of
course the purchasing power of the elol
lar being- thus reduced, the poor man
would get it all too plentifully and sufl'er
all the loss in consequence. To make, in
other words.the holders of Treasury notes
take standard dollars for them, would be
to knock the life out of that parity be
tween the metals which the law declares
it is the policy of our Government to
maintain.
♦
Tins talk about scarcity of money is
error. There is in tight times more money
than in free times, because it is not circu
lating and doing tho oilice of the traveler
that it ought to be. If, well says tho Bos
ton Advertiser, the per capita of dollars
were doubled to-day it wonld not have a
particle of effect upon the situation so far
as giving employment, or opening banks
or factories is concerned. It could not go
intocirculation unless backed by security,
uor earn withouteinployment. No, there
must first be commercial and industrial
contideuce betore the circulating medium
will How normally, aud give lifo to the
country. As the same journal puts it,
the only result of doubling the per capita
would be to double the amount of locked
up money awaiting demand backed by
contideuce.

COST OF FEEDING PRISONERS.
»
Sheriff O'Neil's Charges Compared
With His Predecessors.
The Supervisors Hear Statoments From
Offlcluls and Ex-Ofllcials-What
the Prisoners Eat.
The cost of feeding Couuty Jail prison
ers was the subject of au auimated dis
cussion before the Board of Supervisors
yesterday morning.
There was quite an attendance of offi
cials and ex-Officials who had been sum
moned by the board to give inlormation.
District Attorney Ryan asked mo.it of the
questions.
Ex-l'nder Sheriff Bugbey was the
first called upon. He stated that
he served under Sheriff O'Neil for three
months. . lie did the purchasing of pro
visions for the county prisoners for two
months under Sheritf O'Neil. Ho
couldn't give the cost of feeding prison
ers without consulting his books.
"Where are they?" asked District At
torney Byau, who was conducting tho
examination.
"In the .Sheriffs office," replied tho
witness.
The witness said that tho expense for
feeding the prisoners was higher some
months than others. Potatoes sometimes
were as low as 35 cents a sack. At otber
times thoy were worth $1 50and $2 a stick.
During sheritf Stanley's administration
he was Under Sheriff. The prisoners
were allowed one pound of meat a day,
one pound of bread, lea, coffee and sugar.
Tho sugar was given the members ol tho
cbaingang.
ten cknts a day.
What was the c.st of feeling the pris
oners.'" was asked.
"Well, I approximated for the year
1892, and 1 think the prisoners were led
for lv cents a day. This is the actual cos!.
Then there is the cost of tho jailers,
which is t.tKi ■ month."
When asked if ho would undertake to
contract to feed the County Jail prisoners
for ten cents a day Mr. Bugbey said he
would not, as he was not working ior
nothing.
Supervisor Miller asked what was paid
for meats, and Mr. Bugbey replied thai
six cents a uound was paid for iresh
meat and four and a half to live and a
hall .-otits for salt meat. The average
number of prisoners to be ted every
inontti was about fifty, and sometimes
sixty. In regard to tlie weight of bread,
each loaf was ordered mado weighing ex
actly one pound.
Supervisor Todd asked if there was not
a side table for certain prisoners, bui Mr.
Bugbey said that was outside the Sher
iff's cost In feeding the prisoners, and lie
did not have to be under auy expense
whatever lor perquisites to prisoners, as
they would have to pay the extra costs
themselves.
Chairman Morrison wanted to know if
twenty-five cents per head was nearer
thau ten cents for feeding the prisoners.
Mr. Bugbey replied that he would not
take the contract for less thau tweuty
five coins per head per day.
1,i:.._ STANLEY'S OPINION.
Ex-Sheriff Stanley was next called,
aud when asked what it cost to feed the
inmates of the jail during his term of of
lice said he had no accurate knowledge of
the cost, as Mr. Bugbey was his book
keeper, and ho did not bother himself
about it to any great extent, as he left the
buying of provisions to him. Mr. Stan
ley said he was allowed twenty-live cents
per head for those who wero not em
ployed, lie gave three meals a day to
tnoso who were employed.and two meals
to tiie prisoners who were unemployed.
lledid not know how mucb profit was
made by him when no ,•. as Sheriff in te cl
ing prisoners, because lhe markets woul.i
vary at times. The principal articles used
were moats, potatoes and bread, and
sometimes rice. Meat, I.road aud coffee
were dispensed for breakfast, and food of
liko character in addition to beans for din
ner.
Chairman Morrison stated that in con
ducting his restaurant be generally know
how much he made and lost in his busi
ness, and asked Mr. Stanley if he had not
placed himself in the same position when
be was Sherill*.
Mr. Stanley, in answer to a question by
Supervisor Jenkins as to whether he con
sidered twenty-five cents a day for
ing each prisoner too much, replied that
it was not.
ROONBT'S FIGURES.
Under Sheritf Stephen Rooney, being
called to testify, said he had never figured
on the cost of feeding the prisoners, but
supposed it was 15 or 16 cents each. It
cost more iv the spring, when potatoos
were high. The prisoners now receive
about the same kinds of food as were
supplied by Sherill Stanley.
Mr. Rooney, in response to questions
by District Attorney Kyan, gave the
prices paid for meats, potatoes, coffee,
sugar and other groceries, as nearly as he
could remember. No separate expcti.se
account tor feeding prisoners is kept in
the ..(lice.
Mr. Rooney said, in response to Mr.
Jenkins' inquiry, that ho would not un
dertake to feed the prisoners for 10 cents
a day each.
Sherill _i >'Neil said he had a list show
ing what other counties paid for feeding
their prisoners, which he would like to
read.
Supervisor Todd could not see how
that would cut any figure in the matter.
ln some counties the Sheriffs might pay
their cooks |75 a month, and having but
a few prisoners the cost per head would
be high.
Chairman Morrison—Does any mem
ber of the board object to the Sheriff
reading the list?
Mr. 1 odd I object, on the ground thijt
it is Incompetent, immaterial, irrelevant
and not material evidence in this c
This was something of a poser, but
Chairman Morrison recovered his equi
librium shortly and said that unless the
board overruled bim he would decide
that the Sheriff might read the list.
According to the list, as read by Sheriil
O'Neil, the rates paid by the counties
enumerated varied from twenty-two to
forty cents per prisoner.
This closed the evidence, and Super
visor Todd said he had called the matter
up for the purpose of having the public
informed as to ihe actual cost of feeding
the county prisoners. It hail been re
ported that the county had been paying
too much for tr.e board of its prisoners -
thatthe sheriff was making too much
money out of iv One ex-Sheriff Hell
br ii lia.i declared this to be the case,
and it had occurred to him that tho mat
ter \\as one the supervisors should in
quire into. Ihey hid heard evidence on
the subject, and he moved that the matter
be takeu under advisement. So ordered.
