EDITORIAL COMMENT.
There is a merry rate war between the
O. It. & N. and the Southern Pacific for
San Francieco business. The Southern
Pacific began the fight by reducing the
fare from $25 to $20, on trains leaving on
dates corresponding with steamer days.
The rates have tumbled till now the O. R.
& N. steamers will carry people between
Portland and San Francisco for $5 first
class and $2.50 second class or steerage.
The prospect 8 for a bitter war are ex
tremely good and travellers will rejoice
while the rival companies stick the knife
deeper into one another. The present
lowering of fares recalls the days when
the Great Republic ran as an opposition
steamer between Portland and San
Francisco sixteen years ago. The Great
Republic was a laige side wheeler, capa
ble of carrying many passengers. She
came to an untimely end by being
wrecked at the mouth of the Columbia,
where for many years part of the
machinery waB exposed to view.
The present war will probably bo of
short duration, as both companies will
soon realize that financially, carrying
passengers for next to nothing is not a
success, however pleasing it may be to
the travelling public.
Those people who are industriously
talking abont the United States going to
war with England, or any European
country should read General Miles' re
port upon the condition of our coast de
fenses, supplemented by Admiral Walk
er's statement of our deficiency upon
the sea. It is a good thing for the peo
ple of a country to keep up a proper
spirit of independence, and to promise
in advance to resent any insult shown,
but there is no good in reasoning from
false premises. The United States is
not in a condition to fight any firet rate
power and if we intend keeping up with
the progress of the world greater atten
tion Bhould be given our army and navy.
As Admiral Walker says, "The greatest
protection against war is to be fully pre
pared for it." It is useless to talk of in
creasing our navy and providing better
coast defenses till a party is in power
whose policy will provide sufficient
revenues to meet the demands of govern
ment. It is cleaily proven the demo
ciatic party is not such a one.

Of all the cities in the United States
San Francisco, juat at present, has the
most unsavory reputation. A "carnival
, of crime" haB been and still is being
enacted which is horrifying and disgust
ing in the extreme. The Durrant case
was bad enough and the world patiently
waited till it was through and a convic
tion secured, hoping that there would be
a cessation of crime in San Francisco.
But the city seems to be sunken into
rottenness and the very air pregnant
with crime. If there is a place upon the
earth which is in need of cleansing, that
place is San Francisco. The city got a
wrong start with the riots in the early
'50s, which necessitated several lynch
ings and seemingly it hasn't been able to
get on the right track since.

The tragic death of yonng Green in
Portland is almost too sad for comment.
Bat one of the chief lessons that can be
learned from it is that modern fashiona
ble Eociety is not the best school for the
instruction , of either yonng men or
women. A society that considers pleas
ure the chief end and all and pats relig
ions devotion in to a space of time com
prising the forty days of Lent, cannot
expect its devotees to take broad or
healthy views of life.
