THE INDEPENDENT PARTY DEAD
Tn the course OF his speech at San Jose
few days since, Mr.. Phelps the kepuo-
licon candidate for Governor, SAID ;
The mistake | think, the Independent
marty has made is, that they dId h9I JON
with us in our efforts 10 reform the eA-
trayagance and abuses existing III 'hc
Government, and the mistake that they
now make is that they do not now JON
with us.
They know we are earnest ana sincere
in our determination to carry out the
declarations Of our platform regarding the
les,ening Of our public burdens.
What they hope to gain by continuing
the contest, is more than | can conceive,
as it is now, | think, apparent to the most
careless observer that the Independent
party will not carry IL singl county IN the
State.
The only object they can hope to gain
then, is the defeat Of the Republican party
and the election OF the Democratic ticket,
which simply means four years more OF
high salalie>, cXtlaVagance and waste
four vpajs more of uVer-taXatlon and con-
scquent para yZation Of our industries.
Iflhpy should succeed in accomplishing
this end, the leaders may rest assured thai
the people will hold them responsible tol

STATE SENATOR.

Mr.. Irwin, Senator for this district,
having resigned, Governor Pacheco has
called an election to choose his successor.
Whether it was n political trick of Mr..
Irwin, or not, we are not advi cd. but il
looks upon the suracc rs though he pur-
po>cly withheld his resignation so long in
order to give his Democratic friends the
opportunity OF being first in the field, in
the nomination Of his successor. Neither
party had Senatorial District orgnnizn-
ton, but the Democrats of Siskiyou he d
their county convention after the resigaa.
ton was rumorcd, and Mr.. Tinnn re.
crlved their endorsement. The Repub-
lcans have held no convention in the
district since that we arc aware of, but
through the correspondence Of the Central
Committees Of the four counties, the name
OF DR.. joel Newton. of Siskiyou, appears
on the ticket as the Republican candidate.
DR.. Newton is represented ms n gentleman
tltt"d in every way to occupy the honor
able position, and we are given to under.
stand that he will poll a large vote in hi,
own section. The Republicans Of Trinity
will bear this fact in mind on "Wednesday
next, for although the district has II
heavy Democratic majority, it is within
the bounds Of possibility to elect Dir.
Newton and once more have Republic
an Senator from this District.

The BreadstuffS Excitement.

This is matter which largely engages the
attention of American business men to-day. az
the stagnation in general trade furnishes abun-
dant opportunity for leisursly contemplating
the new impetus to the export traffic of the
country. Our merchants are carefully scan
ming every phase of the recently aroused activ-
ity, with the hope that it may presage similar
improvement in all departments. They care
very little about the rapid rise and fall of prices
caused by speculative efforts, but are intensely
desirous to know whether the foreign demand
for American grain will considerably exceed
that of former years, putting an end to the
shipment of gold and giving the needed flip
to business at large throughout the United
States, There are two or three facts which in
dictate that Europe must place its chief depen-
dence Tor grain the coming season upon the
surplus products held over from last year, and
the enormous crops now ready for harvesting
on this side of the Atlantic.
Notwithstanding the heavy purchases Of
wheat, flour and corn, made on foreign account
by agents in this country, the price of these
staples continues to increase steadily in Liver
pool and other English markets. The enhanc-
ment is not violent, but gradual, ss though ID
had come to stay for some time. very en-
couraging indication, so far as it goes. But re-
ports of far moro importance mention the fall
ure of the crops in Hungary and around the
Black Sea- The sly manner in which Greek
merchants belonging to New York bought up
all the available wheat they could obtain with
out exciting suspicious strengthens the belief as
to the damage the crops have received in the
granary of Europe. 1t may not be generally
known to what extent the import of wheat
into England from Russia has increased within
few years. Between 1860 and 1864 the sub
jects of Alexander sent to the British people
AZ 376, ,SO6 bushels of wheat, whereas the Amer
leans furnished during the same time 127 ,047,-
l26 bushels: The gigantic struggle with the
Rebellion did not prevent us from shipping
nearly three times as much wheat as Great
Britain received from the Russians. An en-
tirely different complexion of affairs is shown
by later statistics From 1868 to 1879 Russia
found in the British empire a customer to the
extent of 1l7967 ,022 bushels, while the United
States only exported for the same market 49,
462, $50 bushels, an actual decrease Of 10,5O0OOO
bushels from the preceding period mentioned.
Now, with any material injury to the crops
from which Great Britain has drawn so much
OF its supply of late years, excluding the idea
of scant harvests on the British 1sles,-and the
possibility, yea probability, Of an immense ex-
port trade, which shall enrich the farmer, af-
ford profitable employment to commerce, and
impart healthy stimulus to business must be
conceded -BostOn Transcript.
