Republican Victories.

from the 81. 10. CMo.) Herald
The first gun from the West was q
sumner to every politician, and all
who read the published election returns
from Montana were dumbfounded.
Republicans were reiolced, and Demo-
Gratis saw that the mountain country
had really adopted a new departure.
But the lanyards to the big guns have
Just been frightened, and with n roar
that makes one believe that 1t thunderS
all around the sky, C~alifornla's divi-
sions sweep the field. and the Golden
State moves forward into the Repub-
lican column. This Is the great victory
Of the year.
Wyoming. the boast Of whose sons
has heretofore been that not n Repuo-
lican sat In her Territorial Legislature,
now elects n majority Of two In the
lower branch of chat body, while the
Democrats have carried the upper
house by a similar majority. This, too,
Is as great n triumph as was that won
BY the Republicans Of Montana.
These results point clearly to the
next Presidential campaign, by giving
us the index to public sentiment. The
country will not permit the Democratic
party soon to rule over It. The people
dare not again trust 1t with the power
which It 90 shamefully betrayed ten
years ago. Whatever JOY our apparent
diyIsions may nus in Democratic
hearts, these real evidences of actual
unity will surely drown with sorrow.
While loudly crying over Republican
corruptions, the Democratic party has
not failed, in a single instance, to
plumber the people Of all it could get
away with, wherever and whenever 1t
has been given an opportunity. The
people know this, and Will not trust 1t.

lessly condemned to- Chinese citizen

destruction of Democratic commits
sionerships. The Oakland Transcript
has got hold Of a telegram dated Val
lejo, September 9th, to the effect that
''forty shipwrights and caulkers were
discharged from Mare leland Navy
Yard yesterday" and cites 1t to prove
a charge made just before the election,
that men were employed at the Navy
Yard for the direct purpose Of voting
the Republican ticket.
Whether any men were employed
for such q purpose We do not know,
but we presume not, for the employees
were supposed to be all Republicans.
According TO their own statement they
would vote the Republican ticket In
any event. If they told the truth the
Republican party gained nothing by
employing them. Il may be said that
the managers at Mare Island had no
right to inquire about the politics OF
the men engaged there ; but the Dem
ocrats who started and have steadily
kept up that system have no right to
complain. They invented and firmly
established the principle that the spoils
belong to the victors. They claim the
exclusive privilege Of uslng It and
want the Republicans to abstain from
all such debasing partisan practices

OPINIONS OF WrrsEssss.-The New.
York Court Of Appeals has recently
decided that witnesses In a trial bsfore
q Court of Law must state iacts and
cannot draw conclusions nor give opin-
Ions. The case In which this decision
was given, arose In an action on a pol
Icy Of Insurance to recover for q loss by
fire. The plaintiff who, under the New
York statute, was witness In his own
case, gave his own opinion as to the
quantity as well as the value of the
goods destroyed. To this evidence the
Insurance Company, which was de-
PENDANT, excepted, and carried the case
to the Court Of Appeals, where the de-
cision of the Court below was reversed,
the evidence held inadmlssible, and a
new trial ordered. The Court Of APP
peals in delivering Its opinion stated
that the instances In which the opin-
Ions of witnesses can be admitted, con-
stltute exceptions to the general rule,
and that these exceptions are not to be
extended or enlarged SO as to include
new cases except to prevent a failure
Of justice and when better evidence

A remarkable instance Of the great
benefits that railroad land grants are
to the people, the State and the Gov
ernment, IS illustrated in the Illinois
Central Railroad. In 1850 that State
had S5l, 40 inhabitants, and the State
was very sparsely settled. The popu-
lation was only 250,O 600 more than that
of California now. The Federal Gov
eminent held then 10, 600, 900 acres Of
landin the State, which had been thirty
,years under proclamation without find
inc settlers, because that land, like
that of that now In California, was in
accessible to market. 1t was felt that
the land never would be settled unless
a railroad was built through 1t. But
who would build o railroad through
an unsettled country? II the land
could be settled the 1900 900 acres
would become taxable by the State and
Give IL resources which would tighten
fts general burden. The people wanted
to settle the lands, the United States
wanted 70 sell them, and the State
wanted to tax them-a state of affairs
which now exist on q broader scale In
California. Congress then determined
TO give the State z, 1896, 900 acres Of that
unstable land to have a railroad built.
The State incorporated the Illinois
Central Railroad and turned the lands
over to 1t In 1850. The road was built;
the Federal lands were Immediately
taken up by settlers, giving the United
States $25, 600, 900 purchase money.
The States population increased to
LII, 95l, or more than doubled In
1850, and to 2.529,410 In 1870. The
State revenues from the lands became
very large. The railroad drew vast
freights from the land, the business OF
Chicago increased 100000 900 per an
mum BY produce brought down and
goods sent up, and the railroad has
sold of It's grant, 2,179,000 acres for
$24, 900, 1888. and has 416,610 acres left
worth $l2 30 per acre, or $5,225, 906.
more than meeting the whole first cost
Of the construction of the road. All
these immense benefits have resulted
In twenty years from the judiclous use
q portion Of the public lands to give
value to the remainder. This Is the
state of affairs now awaiting Califor-
MIA. The vast tracts of fertile public
land are awaiting the Intervention Of
railroads to promote the general inter-
est Of the State, the city Of San Fran
cisco, the people, the Federal Govern
ment and those interests which depend
more Immediately upon railroads, and
the elements are at work to produce
that combination.-S. F. Alta.

The STATE CouNT.-We have now
official returns for twenty out Of the
