THE CHARTER SUSTAINED.
AT last I gle over the new charter
is at an end. It has been approved by the
. ratified by the Legislature and con-
Supreme Court. It has been sub-
■ trial known to our laws and
has been upheld at every test. All doubts as to its
:;>ated. The new charter is to
be the organic law of the city and the affairs of the
administered in accord with
• s by the officers who are to be elected
this :
Jh< iurt will be received with gen
eral gratification. Years have passed since the ef
in to obtain a charter com
mensurate with the needs of the city and framed in
c with the popular desire, and thousands
en expended in the various at
tempts to obtain one. It would therefore have been
a serious loss to the community had the Supreme
Court found the new instrument defective in any
particular or invalid upon any ground whatever.
By the decision the atmosphere has been cleared
of the last lingering opposition to the charter. The
avenues of municipal reform, improvement and
progress provided by it are now open and secure.
The one duty that remains to the people is to elect
officers who will wisely administer the powers which
will be theirs when placed in ofrice. That is the issue
of the campaign. The charter is secure and now let
us make good government under it equally secure by
electing men who are to be counted on to apply it
with wisdom, public spirit, economy and civic
patriotism.
For some time past certain Democratic politicians
and papers have claimed the charter as a Democratic
production. The claim has had no foundation in fact
and has never deceived intelligent citizens, who are
aware that when submitted to the vote of the people
the charter was sustained by votes cast in Republican
districts and was ratified by a Republican Legisla
ture. All that, however, is now out of the question.
The decision of the Supreme Court takes the char
ter out oNthe domain of controversy and makes it
the constitution of the municipality, the law of the
whole people. Nothing but demagogy can attempt
to make it a partisan issue and none but the dupes
of demagogues will be misled by such attempt!.
Miss Jane Dwyer, a local medium, has complained
to the police that some person sent her through the
mails a box of chocolate creams loaded with blue
!, with the evident intention of poisoning her. A
chemist, who examined the poisoned candy, says
there was just enough bluestone to make a gooll
emetic, and the police are now of the belief that a
business rival of Miss Dwyer was taking this means
of making her yield up some spook secrets.
The policy of expansion is making an insidious
progress in every direction. Two very estimable
citizens of Sacramento have discovered that the town
is not big enough for both of them and now one pro
poses to carve or club or shoot the other. The pro
posal, at latest reports, had not been accepted.
A dusky but charming representative of deposed
South Sea royalty, who Is among us, says that the
title of Queen or Princess never troubled her. She
neglected to add, however, that it created all sorts ot
a row among other worthy and well-meaning people.
The inconvenience of relatives has again been
strikingly demonstrated. The Emperor of Germany
is afraid to visit England because the world might
think that he is sympathizing with his grandmamma
in her war with the Boers.
lount chief of the Basutos has been get
. into print a great deal of late. That's the way
with those paramount fellows ever since Blount's
time.
THE TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION.
WE have called attention to the organization of
the mercantile interests of this coast in a
Traffic Association, which promises to co
operate with transportation interests in such way as
to protect the coast trade by giving it stability.
The Eastern jobbers have long sought to locate
the distribution of our trade at any point most con
venient to them, east of the mountains, From such
point they desire to reach the retail trade here direct.
To this end they have sought to powerfully impress
transportation, to force such a rate on less than car
lots of merchandise and to secure such changes in
classification as will enable them to add to their posi
tion of wholesalers at home the advantage of being
peddlers here. From its beginning they have sought
to put the Interstate Commerce Commission in a
hypnotized atmosphere, hoping that it would see
nothing but distributing points East, and West noth
ing but a country to be distributed to, clear to the
Pacific Ocean.
It has not been altogether an accident that this
coast has had no representative on that commission.
None of the present members comes from this side of
the Missouri. Mr. Youmans of Sioux City is called
the Western member, and if he represent us he has
almost the world for a parish, and his parishioners
see but little of him.
It should be the aim of the Traffic Association to
co-opetate with the railroads in securing a Commis
on this coast who sees through coast eyes
and interests. We use the word co-operate advisedly
and with deliberation. The interests of commerce
will not be served by the appointment of any man
who sees in railroads the sum of all villainies nor the
sum of all virtue-. He should be a man who ex
pect? to find Western transportation, overland and
local, alive to the fact that it has interests in common
the coast production and distribution.
The railroads want to have the business of mer
chants, not of peddlers. To do this they want all the
advantages of the fourth clause of the interstate com
merce law, which protects the ton per mile rate on
the long haul, for our overland roads have the long
est haul on the continent. These roads are at pres
ent in a position to aid in making Pacific ports the
jobbing points in Asiatic trade. By water we have
an advantage of from 5000 to 7000 miles in that trade
over Xew York. While this advantage subsists there
is no reason why we should not be permitted to add
to that the land mileage of 2500 miles to Chicago, or
3500 to New York, and so carry that trade from
here. Even then we bring its Asiatic source nearer
to New York by combined water and rail than she
. water alone.
So, instead of parting with our distributing trade
to our own population and turning it over to points
East by converting railway trains into peddlers'
wagons, we should control legitimate wholesaling
orce.
It will be observed that the very title of the Traffic
Association combines trade and transportation in a
common interest and a common effort. Transporta
tion is concerned in that increase of population
which comes with a symmetrical development of all
the factors of an American community. Where pro
duction, transmutation and exchange are all in proper
operation, labor of all classes, skilled and unskilled, is
in demand, and business ability, in wholesale, jobbing
and retail lines, and in finance, is profitably employed
and the whole community is built up.
There is no evidence that the overland railways
have any desire to restrict or destroy their present
coast terminals. They need on the Interstate Com
merce Commission a sympathetic mind which can see
the necessity of differentials to the commercial life
of a region that has a long haul on its freight. Again
the Traffic Association, by frank contact with trans
portation interests, has it in its power to protect trade
from that curse and scourge of commerce — railroad
rate wars. Whenever they have raged commerce
has been paralyzed. Rates made by roads in these
struggles are in their very nature unstable and
threatening of change. When they fall below the
cost of the traffic they imply a reaction for recoup
ment of the resulting loss. The unthinking rejoice at
a rate that loses profits to a railroad, while the mer
chant groans in spirit at a condition that he cannot
control, but which threatens his ruin. What com
merce needs is equal service to all at an equal and
fair rate, which is not subject to erratic change.
A Traffic Association which covers the coast from
Puget Sound to San Diego and sits in council at the
terminal points of every overland railroad can exer
cise a powerful influence for stability of rates and the
resulting stability of commercial conditions. Now it
is a supreme necessity that we have from the region
covered by this Traffic Association an Interstate
Commerce Commissioner who knows the character
and conditions of our trade and who notes keenly any
respect in which our mercantile rights and interests
are outlawed, either by the law itself or by the prin
ciples upon which it is administered.
The Governor is waiting, the dispatches say, for
public sentiment of the State to crystallize into a de
mand for an extra session. If there is one thing
in the State which above all others Gage is known
not to represent, it is public sentiment.
A COMMERCIAL MUSEUM.
SO much has been said throughout the East of
the wonderful work which has been accom
plished by the Philadelphia Commercial Mu
seum and the men who maintain it that it seems well
assured such institutions are among the most bene
ficial a commercial community can establish and sup
port. Out of the museum there has come to Phila
delphia a great export exposition and a commercial
congress which was in every respect the most im
pressive nf its kind that ever assembled. That much
has been achieved for one city, but the wider effects
of the museum have been felt in all the larger Eastern
cities and have been everywhere noted and appre
ciated.
In his address at the Commercial Congress ex-
Senator Edmunds described the work of the museum,
he being a trustee of the institution since its organi
zation. In the course of his speech he said:
"It is not a private corporation; it is not a body of
gentlemen associated for gnin, nor a State or na
tional organization, but it is an international
organization, . whose purpose and design and
whose work have been devoted to the increase of in
dustrial commercial intercourse among all nations.
It has gathered in its museums year after year the
products of almost every clime, and the manufactures
of almost every country on the face of the globe, be
ginning with the simplest raw products, in order
that her artisans and producers of manufactured
goods could see where they could obtain the advan
tages and the best means of developing their indus
tries and products through the aid of our brethren in
every other country who are able to produce things
that our climate would not produce. * * * It has,
also, samples of the products, raw and manufactured.
of our own people of every description and kind, that
our brethren of other countries could perceive what
THE SAN ERANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1899.
we could do and make comparison for mutual inter
change of products. It has established besides that
what in a short term is called the Bureau of Informa
tion. Its scope is much larger than that — it is an
encyclopedia of all the commercial relations on the
globe."
Not long ago a movement was started in this city
to establish a commercial museum here, and it was
announced that the officers of the Philadelphia mu
seum would co-operate with the enterprise. It is to
be hoped the undertaking will be pushed while the
success of the great organization in Philadelphia is
still fresh in the public mind. This is a good time
to begin anything that tends to promote commerce
and a commercial museum is certainly of that nature.
The British press had to join in the chorus of
"Hail, Columbia," when the American defender beat
the Shamrock. Pretty soon they'll be adopting
"Yankee Doodle" as the British national hymn.
IN his campaign Mr. Phelan plays on a harp of
many strings,* and is in danger of wearing some of
them out. He continues to accuse the Repub
licans of treason, and of being enemies of the people^
and at the same time begs of them to vote for him
and to bolt their own ticket. The present Board of
Supervisors, with a Republican majority, has not
waited for the new charter, but has instituted some
commendable reforms, and thereby stands in marked
contrast to its predecessor, which was largely com
posed of men of Mr. Phelan's selection. But he
denies that the present board is entitled to any credit
for its reforms. He, Phelan the Mighty, forced it
to be a reform board! He has recently fallen into
torrid praise of Mr. Joseph Britton, his Republican
supporter, and so far the only one publicly known.
Phelan praises his age, calls him "the Grand Old
Man" and other pet names. Age is a merit in men
who support Phelan, but an offense in men who op
pose him.
In his speech in the Twenty-eighth Assembly Dis
trict on the 18th inst. he said: "This is not the days of
'49. Republicans bring out old men from the past.
We are not old men."
It is really to be hoped that Mr. Phelan's intended
reforms do not contemplate disfranchising old men,
or having them knocked in the head. These whom he
calls old men and sneers at so flippantly had the man
hood to marry and rear families bearing their name
and the genius and courage to lay the foundations of
our institutions. Mr. Phelan himself is descended
from their class, unless he intends to go back to the
Greek myth and declare himself self-creative, or like
Topsy insist that he "jes' growed." These old men
at least had the energy to earn their own fortunes
and to create the conditions in which Mr. Phelan,
without any self-exertion, became and remains a mil
lionaire.
It is a wonder that he does not order the Bear flag
torn down, the State seal battered and everybody
older than himself sent to jail for the high crime and
misdemeanor of age and experience.
He is singularly given to the division of the people
into classes. He first divided the people into Demo
crats and traitors, the latter being Republicans who
will not bolt their ticket and support him. Now he
divides them into Democrats and old men, the latter
being those who do not support him and therefore
are denounced as Forty-Niners, who, of course, ought
to die out of Mr. Phelan's way and let him run things
on a strictly anti-'4Q basis.
Mexicans and cowboys along the Arizona and
New Mexico borders seem to be making fairly good
targets of themselves. As long as they confine their
pistol practice to one another there will probably be
no serious objection to the game.
SIR THOMAS LIPTON, who bears his de
feat with an equanimity that commands the re
spect of all, announces that he will challenge the
New York Yacht Club for another contest for the
America's cup in 1901, and will at once set about de
signing a craft to make the race. In the meantime
he has suggested to the New Yorkers the advisability
of taking the Columbia to Europe next year and
assures them if they do the Shamrock will try her
again.
There is nothing in the suggestion that implies dis
content with the circumstances or the terms under
which the races were held off Sandy Hook. It
means no more than that Lipton has carried into
yacht-racing something of the vigor which has
marked him in business, and he doesn't like to stop
while a loser. He evidently believes in his boat, and
while he purposes to build a better one if British
skill can do it, he would like to give the Shamrock
another chance to win while the new boat is being
constructed.
Whether the Columbia will be taken abroad next
year will, of course, depend upon many things. There
may be circumstances which would render such a
course inexpedient. It would be gratifying, however,
to the American public to have her go over and give
the Shamrock a trial in the Shamrock's own waters.
It has been a notable victory to defend the cup at
home, but it would be a greater victory still to meet
the best yachts of Europe over the famous yachting
courses in European waters and bring other cups and
trophies to attest her invincible superiority over
every craft of her kind the Old World can furnish.
The extent to which Lipton is ready to go to win
the America's cup is shown by his statement that the
cost of the Shamrock alone, without including the
expense of her crew or anything else, was about
! $500,000. The new yacht he intends to order will
certainly not cost less. His expenditures therefo-e
will far exceed the million mark and his yachting en
terprises will have to be included among the largest
in which he is engaged.
If the construction of yachts ended with racing
such expenditures would be anything but commend
able. The beneficial effects of the contests, however,
are far reaching. Just as horse racing has led to the
improvement in the breeds of horses, which have
given us the splendid horse of to-day, so the racing
of yachts has led to improvement in the construc
tion of nearly all kinds of sailing craft and has ma
terially stimulated seamanship. The vast sums ex
pended for yachts therefore have not been wasted.
Shipbuilders have learned from the contests some
thing which has been of advantage to commerce and
to industry.
One reason given by Lipton for desiring the Co
lumbia to cross the ocean is that she would teach
Europe a lesson in yacht-building. He is quoted as
Faying: "I sincerely hope she will cross the Atlantic
j if for no other purpose than to show them over there
J what a Yankee yacht is like. You can take my word
for it she would sweep everything before her." Such
appreciation of the merits of our boat shows we have
a foeman worthy of our most generous rivalry, and
it is to be hoped the Columbia will be taken across
i the seas next year to meet her old rival and all other
j yachts that dare to enter a race with her.

-^^m 1» when you say that it is impossible
fegp to measure its power for good. The
best teacher is not the one who can

to stimulate and direct their efforts in pur-
suing it to an advantageous end.
Your plan has the merits of some of the most
popular educational movements of the day — such
as the University Extension Courses, Corre-

The subject matter of your courses has been

ures as to the cost of the yacht Sham
rock have not been made public, but it
is the general belief that the vessel has
cost something like $100,u00. The owner
of the Shamrock has not told any one
what it has cost him to run his yacht
per day since her first competition with
the Columbia.
REAL ESTATE-M. D.. City. An action
for the recovery of real property must be
tried in the county in which the subject
of the action is situated, subject to the
power of the court to change the place
of trial.
ARTISTS— X. C. Mo., City. Warren,
Davenport, Swinnerton and Edgren, the
caricaturists, received instruction in th>»
local schools, but the peculiar faculty
which has made them prominent in their
particular line was latent in them and
was self-developed.
SrZERAIXTY-Subseriber, City. Suz
erainty means paramount authority or
command. It is derived from suzerain,
which is lord paramount or a holder of a
fief when other fief depend. It also means
the supreme or highest lord, but
usage, a superior lord to whom fealty ia
due. According- to the feudal system as
developed in Northern Europe, every
owner of allodial lands was compel]
acknowledge himself the vassal of a suz
erain, and do hnmage to him for his
lands; the term suzerain was applied
to the king- than to his vassals who had
su-vassals holding: of them. By allodial
is meant free of rent, independent.
AX ESTATE— S.. City. If a man adopts
a boy according to law, dies and in the
will it appears that the adopted boy has
been made the sole heir with the proviso
that he cannot inherit until he reaches
the age of twenty; should the adopted
son die before he attains that age and did
not leave a will, the property would so
to his heirs according to the law of suc
cession. If he was taken sick and death
was apparent, he would have the right
to will the property which would come to
him at the age given in the will. If a
legatte dies during the life time of the
testator the testamentary disposition to
him fails.
AVERAGE RAINFALL— W. M.. Santa
Rosa, Cal. An average of "the rainfall
of the State of California since 1850"
would require an immense amount of
compilation and when completed would
not be of any value, for it would not be
anything upon which to base any calcu
lation for the reason that in some parts
of the State at times there is a great
deal of precipitation. v,-hile in others dur
ing the same season there is but Little.
The average in particular localities can
be furnished, as. for instance, in San
Francisco the average of the rain of fifty
seasons is 23.01; the heaviest during any
year was in 1884, when it reached' 38.82,
and the lowest was in 1898, when it was
but 9.31. The rainfall from October 1,
1898, to October 1, 1599, in that city, was
8.32.
