of the violent effort made by the KEARNEY
party to carry the city and county--an eff
fort which appears to have been too sue
cessfnl, through the division of its oppo-
nents, There were six tickets 10 the
field, two leading ones being the Citizens
Non-Partisan and the Kearneyites. The
latter were originally organized as a work
ingmen's party, but their leader,
KEARNEY, soon developed into d
violent and desperate Communist, re
voutionist, mobocrat or whatever else he
can he called In his speeches he has
into the bay and kill those who attempt
to protect them, He held up moose in
his hand and declared that with ten thou
sand men he would hang the mayor and
drive other leading citizens out of the city.
It was stated that of the thirty~three can
didates on the KEARNEY ticket only eleven
possessed the qualifications of jurors IN
the California law. Nevertheless the dis
patches inform US that these thirty-three
candidates have been elected to represent
the city and county of San Francisco 10
the constitutional convention. 1t is true
the Conservative delegates chosen in the
state out-number them, and this will make
Communist constitution impossible; but
it is not an agreeable reflection that the
city of San Francisco has been carried by
party whose programme is one of revo-
luton. The elements of San Francisco
society are not of the most orderly charac-
ter. There is great wealth in few hands;
there is large laboring population
accustomed to high wages now idle, or
employed at reduced wages; and there is a
Chinese element, whom the idle working
men blame for the scarcity of work and the
reduced price of labor. That such a city
should be in danger of passing under the
control of party whose policy means
confscation is not reassurinG. The Kear>
neyites have carried San Francisco in this
contest by being the most powerful Of
several parties. II all the other parties
were united they would outnumber the
revolutionists- and united they will have
to be. unless they are willing to see the
great capital of the Pacific coast become a
prey to disorder.-S Louis Rep

Hon. John G, Brown of the rowing COM
mission sent by Hayes to Louisiana iu the
spring of 1877, finding that the senate
does not feel disposed to pay the bill Incur
ed by the commission sent a draft of 1927. go
to Secretary Sherman for the payment of
his share of the bill. The secretary re-
turned him the draft with the remark that
he thinks the next Congress will take a
different view of the matter and pay the
whole out of the public treasury. At all
events Sherman says if Congress fails to
do so, and continues to refuse to pay, the
President will pay it himself, After all it
is difficult to see what difference it makes
whether it is paid openly by an appropri-
alton, or by the President from the secret
service fund, for that is wherei it is likely to
come from in the end.
