The Political CauIdron.

Little more than year hence the
people of California will hold an
election, at which they will select a
Governor and successors to all Of our
State officers. Just who those gen.
tlemen will be we cannot as yet tell.
The names of those who would like to
be the fortunate individuals would
fill large volumne and afford
excellent reading. There are
ten thousand men, each one of whom
is confident that he would make the
best Governor the State ever had, and
we have no doubt he would if he could
only he elected For the other State
officers we have but few, very few, in
deed, who are not in their own esti-
nation fully competent for the dis
charge Of the duties of any position
they may get. A number of the more
daring aspirants are beginning to
throw up dust after the manner of a
DCilSSISuC poNlliCj W iillC iiielly otiiSi .
are clouding themselves about like the
ink-fsh. They do not see their way
clear, and they are determined no one
shall see them clearly. The next cam
paign will probably be sort of tri-
angle fight-a three-cornered duel
where two will aim at each other, and
the third party will have a shot at one
or both Of the others without having
to stand fire himself. All of our
shrewd office seekers, or those who
fancy themselves shrewd, are figuring
for the fortunate third fellows place
in the duel. They cannot all get it.
Some of thea are sure to be killed.
We could name a number of the slain
before the battle commences, and
would do SO, only we Go not desire to
hurt their feelings in advance of the
pang of the mortal wound. Seriously,
California politics is a mixed up hodge
podge, and when the cauldron begins
to bubble, as it will in few weeks,
we shall see some queer fish come to
the surface.

Railroads and Steamers.

The signs of the times are that the
railroad company may not discontinue
work on the Southern Pacific road un-
til the track is completed to this city.
The time required to finish the road
may not be great. 1t may be done in
twelve months, or even less time. All
will depend upon the determination of
the company. They have the material
on hand, and need only prepare the
road-bed and lay the track. The in
crease in the carrying trade of the
road, when completed, as already
shown in the HERALD, is something
that has apparently escaped the no.
tice of Governor STANFORD and his
co-workers. They have gone along
under the impression that if their road
will not pay when stretching the full
length OF the San Joaquin valley, it
would not pay if completed to Los
Angeles. No greater mistake could
have been made, and it seems incredi-
BILE that men of such reputed shrewd-
ness should fall into it. We have
shown that the business of the road, if
now completed, would pay large IN
terest on the cost of construction, and
it requires but little thought to DEM
onstrate that railroad communication
would double and treble the travel be-
tween this city and San Francisco.
When people can come here by rail-
road, our population will increase
more rapidly than before, and every
additional family that settles in the
valley will add so much to the bust
ness of the railroad. One thing is
certain: if the road is not completed
before many months, the demands of
travel will necessitate the placing on
the coast route Of lines of light built,
fast running steamers, that will make
the trip between this city and San
Francisco almost as soon and with as
great comfort as it can be done by
railroad. Such steamers as these,
running from Wilmington and Trux-
ton, will secure and hold large por-
ton of the travel, even after the rail
road is COMPLETED.

A Huge Anger and a Great Bore.

SUTRo and his tunnel are attracting
no small amount of attention both in
and out of Congress. This tunnel
business is becoming great bore and
as SUTRo is the auger with which it is
bored, we have of late fallen int o the
habit of including petition for his
early death in our evening prayer.
We could write nice obituary for
SUTRo. Pretty, round, solemn sound
ing, sympathetic coated sentences that
we should incorporate in it are con-
stantly recurring to us. We could fill
a column with sweet things about
SUTRo dead but somehow they will
not fit him living. SUTRO ought to
die just now. He will disappoint the
whole Pacific Coast if he continues to
live. A man has no right tolive when
everybody wishes him dead. If he
would die we should soon forget the
internal bore he has inflicted upon
Vic WlioiC community. liz ioCt 10
SUTRo has played this tunnel game
too long. The thing has lost its power
of fascination. 1t may be all very
we'll to run tunnel for the purpose of
draining the water from mines that
have no water in them, but when the
tunnel is so long running that it does
not reach the mines until the lower
level is many feet below the level of
the tunnel, people are excusable for
wondering if the tunnel will drain the
mines or the mines drain the tunnel
If SUTRo will not die the next best
thing he can do is to stop on that tun-
mel. He might get an appropriation
to fill it up but the people do not care
to have it run any farther. We are
all tired Of the tunnel and we have
had quite enough of SUTRo.

The opinion of Mr.. EvARTs, Judge
CURTIS and one or two other eminent
lawyers of the nation, that the right to
shape and regulate railroad freights
and fares does not come within the
field of State legislation, is receiving
much adverse criticism, and unless
those legal lights sustain their position
with arguments stronger than they
have yet advanced, their fame as ex-
ponents of constitutional law will be
clouded with lack of confidence in
both their sincerity, learning and in
telligence. 1t is an established fact,
whether u constitutional one or not,
that States have built the greater por-
ton of. the railroads. They were con-
structed with the peoples money, and
as che Legislature created the roads it
seems reasonable that it should regu-
late their operations SO far as the
rights of the people are concerned. a
Legislature is but the voice of the peo-
pie, and in approPriating money TO
buildrailroads the people certainly did
not intend to create power they could
not control. I6 was not their purpose to
sow a wind from which they should
reap q whirlwind. Yet according to
the opinion of leading minds they
have done just this thing. We adj
vanced the opinion some time ago that
if it is unconstitutional for Il State
Legislature to change or modify the
rates of charges on railroad, it is
alike unconsttutiona for a State Legis
lature to appropriate the peoples
money toward building railroad, and
the question comes up: If railroads
are Independent of the people, have not
the people the right to sue for and re-
cover the money advanced by their
Legislature to an irresponsible power?
The money was obtained under false
pretenses, upon afalse Interpretation
of constitutional law. In a word, the
people have been defrauded, and it
seems but just and proper they should
recover that which has been taken
from them through Misrepresentation.

AN Eastern paper thinks cheap
beer the most effectual remedy against
the use of whisky. Wedoubt the eff
cacy of the antidote. Cheap beer is
necessarily poor beer, and unless it pos
sesses intoxicating qualities, it cannot
be substituted for beverage that will
intoxicate. Besides, when man sets
out to get drunk, and has only cheap
beer to do it on, he will get drunk if
he has to swallow twenty kegs of the
article. The only real question in
volved is, whether a cheap-beer drunk
is more moral drunk than a drunk
on four-dollar whisky, and this is a
question of aesthetics rather than oil
prohibition. e1fHIerr-

In this mornings HERALD we pub
lish letter from J. 4. JOHNSON, ed
itor of the Santa Barbara Press, in
reference to his plan for placing the
thousands of unknown facts concern
ing Southern California before the
people of the East and Europe If Mr..
JOHNSON succeeds, as we have no doubt
he will, in exhibiting the scenes now
being taken before n few million peo-
pie and follows these exhibitions with
quarter of million of each of the
weekly issues of the Illustrated Press,
there is no reason for doubling that he
will do more in the way of bringing a
desirable class of population into this
portion of the State than any or all
schemes for that purpose that have yet
been suggested or acted upon. 1t is
the duty of the press and our citizens
generally to aid this enterprise by all
means in their power. If carried out,
it will benefit all and give the southern
portion of the State population that
will soon develop her vast resources.

4 Man Calling 1IimselfGus De Young
in Trouble.

VIsALIA, May 24.-The Deputy
Sheriff of Fresno county arrived here
to-day, in close pursuit of a man call
ing himself Gus. De Young, charged
with driving livery team of Fresno
City to death. He detied the officers
at Fresno to arrest him, and fled to Tu-
lare City, where he procured another
team and came to Visalia. Here,
upon being closely pressed by the Off
GERS, he made his escape by driving
furiously through the streets, losing
his plug hat and whip, and leaving
his wife behind. Two officers from
this place started in pursuit, and will
land him in Jail before night. He
was very warlike in his demonstra-
tions, declaring no officer could arrest
him; but failed to await their appear
ance to test the matter.
P. M.-De Young has just been
brought in and lodged in Jail.

A YOUNG couple whom cruel par
ents would not consent should marry,
recently eloped from San Francisco,
had the knot tied, and at last accounts
were fishing away their honeymoon
at Firebaugh's Ferry. 1t was once
fortune to fish at that place, not as a
happy bride or bridegroom-but we
fished there, and are ready to take our
book oath that if those young people
live on the fish they catch and do not
get more nibbles than we did, they
will be able to see just how long a
young and ardent couple may live on
a diet of pure love alone.

is progressing on the coast line in
tended to fill up the space between
Santa Barbara and Salinas City,
Twenty-seven miles of wire are al
ready up this side of Salinas City. 1t
is expected the line will be completed
by the first of September. By that
time the Atlantic and Pacific line will
probably be in operation between
Bakersfield and this city. We shall
then have three lines connecting us
with San Francisco convenience
which will facilitate telegraphic bust
ness and reduce the cost of messages

Mexicans came here from the Castle

the mountains for some ten days. When
the Mexicans left here to continue the
search, they said that if they sue
ceeded in finding the parties they
would start big fire. There is now a
large smoke about three miles below
here, on the other side of the ella;
and we suppose they have found the
lost persons-undoubtedly dead. These
men may have friends in Yuma. One
of them is believed to be man named
