The Rev. Mr.. Garrett, who always was
very sanguine person, says that Fernando
Wood "will be ashamed of himself if he lives
"twenty-fve years longer"
Senator Eustls opened the case of the Solid
South yesterday with a preliminary motion
for the expenditure of $5,000,O00 on the
Mississippi levees. Mr.. EusJis understands
his business, and puts the thin end Of the
wedge first.
Mr.. Edmunds deserves well of the country
by insisting upon the consideration by the
Senate Of the bill to govern the counting of
electoral votes. This vital question has been
too long neglected and should be disposed of,
if possible, before the heat of the next Presi-
dental campaign begins to make itself felt.
Uptown residents who have been waiting
nearly year for the Board Of Aldermen to
order the establishment of the hgh-water SER
vice which the Legislature authorized, may be
gratified 10 know that the operation of passing
the necessary resolution consumed something
over sixty seconds of oar local law-makers'
valuable time. II wa, a small matter, of
coursc-this question affecting the health and
comfort of thousands of families and we
should be grateful that the Aldermen, many
of whom are usually busy in getting some
friend out of the penitentlary or into some
Office should have degned to consider the
matter at all.
The extensive development which the cleo
trio light has undergone recently in France
and England accounts in some degree for the
jealousy with which Mr.. Edison's application
for a patent is regarded in the latter coun-
try. No one abroad. however, has invented a
process or system which will supply a cheap,
uniform light, adapted in all respects to take
the place of gas for general use. If Mr.. Edi-
son has done so, he ought TO be granted the
patent he seeks, notwithstanding Mr. Russel's
objections. 1t is to the interest of the British
public to shield him from the vexatious itiga-

self believed that Tilden was fairly
elected by a majority both of the
popular vote and of the electoral
colleges, but that he doubted if any
attempt would be made to unseat
Hayes. The Presidential office, il
honorably acquired, is position
of exalted dignity and is to be
sought after by any eligible Ameri-
can. But, acquired in the manner
in which Hayes has attained it, by
defrauding an old man who was
the elect of the people, it will prove
very shirt of Nessus to Hayes.

WE again feel called upon to ad.
vert to the Significance OF the late
election in Alameda county. Both
the Democratic and Republican
parties had nominated lawyers OF
distinguished ability to succeed
Hon. Nathan Porter in the State
Senate. That the candidate OF the
Workingmen's party should beat
both, and that so decisively, may
well cause the old parties to con.
slider gravely the political situation.
The history of Worklngmen's
movements SO far in the United
States has not been such as to en-
courage one to hope for their per-
manent success, but this election
in Alameda County, taken in con.
nection with a number which have
taken place lately in the East,
show that they can make sudden
and formidable inroads upon the

GOLD the other day sold at only
one and five.eighths per cent. pre-
MUM. This is hardly more than
the figure that metal commanded
before the war over the currency of
nine cut of ten of the State banks
of good rspute. 1t is practically
par. Tho premium goes steadily
down, Notwithstanding the agita-
ti0n for the repal of the specie Re-
sumption Act and Notwithstanding
the passage of the Bland Silver bill
in the House of Representatives,,
its imminent passage in the Senate
and the probability that the Presi-
dent will sign it, or, if he does not,
that it will be passed over his veto.
The truth probably is that the fall
in the premium on gold is simply a
commercial registering of the fact
that wo are not only even with tho
outside world but ahead of
it. The balance of trade
il largely in our favor. One
steamer alone, q short time ago,
brought over to the United States
q million dollars in gold from
England. With a balance Of trade
in our favor of nearly one hundred
and fifty millions Of dollars a year,
with a production of the precious
metals which, last year, attained
about one hundred millions of dol
lars, we should soon become the
richest nation on the footstool.
And yet, with all this, we are con-
fronted with the singular spectacle
that the people of the United States
are acting as If they were poor.
Enterprise languishes, the spirit Of
speculation is in fairly comatose
condition and commercial disasters
are nevertheless reported with al

AN opportunity has been afford

" IAN opportunity mas De6u ouOru-
ed to our people to observe tho diff
ference, In its effects upon the Pa
ciic Coast, of the policy pursued,
respectively, by the mining spirits
who were went, in the old days, to
cluster around VIM. G. Ralston,
and those who now range them.
selves under the leadership Of the
firm Of Flood & O'Brien. Much
can be said in favor of both re-
gimes. While it is true that the
mania for specializing in stocks
was unduly encouraged by Ralston
and his friends, they were an ener-
getic crowd, and they gave a great
impetus to development of every
kind. They to some extent, at
least, founded and encouraged local
manufacturer. 1t cannot, perhaps,
be said of them that their infiu.
encs was felt for good throughout
the State at large, but they at least
Improved San Francisco. The
Messrs. Flood & O'Brisn have con.
trolled means very much larger
than were ever at the command Of
their predecessors, but they have
certainly left ne such emphatic
traces Of their large wealth, either
In San Francisco or California, as
the Ralstsn-6haron capitalists did.
It 10 pleasant to read that Mr..
Mackey is ambitious OF wearing
the title of "Count,n and that he
supports q superb establishment in
Paris, but the Pacific Coast is not
very much benefited by this state
of things. While 1t is consoling to
know that four citizens of Califor.
mia can afford to buy s25, 200, 900
worth Of United States bonds at q
pop, 1t IL not pleasant to think of
what local development is lost on
account OF the sending Of such
large amounts OF money to add to
the congestion which prevails In
the money circles of the East.
The rumor further reaches US that
the firm of Flood & O'Brien are
contemplating the establishment of
bank in New York City which
shall boast the enormous capital of
$2O,0O0.00o. There are so many
ways in which such tremendous
sums could be made to vtalize
business on the Pacific Coast that
we greatly regret that they are not
employed in that patriotic and
benenoent direction. Men certainly
have right to do what they please
with their own, but they can ex-
tend or curtail the measure of pub.
lie sympathy and recognition
which greets them by the degree oi
public spirit they show. One thing
Is undoubted-the Messrs. Flood &
OBrien have done much to re press
the saturnalia Of stock gambling
once SO rampant in California.
Probably disintsrested people will
conceds this to them as high
merit, and 1t is also equally true
that the opposite can be assumed
as blot on the men who were rec.
ognized os the "Money Kings" Of
the Pacific Coast until the advent
of the bonanza potentates pushed
them from their stools.n

THE late election in the city of

upon the false and hypocritical
character of the bloody shirt war;

the disappearance of the bayonet
from the South has been followed
by profound peace every where in
that section. Under the old regime
all a few cold, calculating and dis
Stimulating carpet-bag Republicans
had to do, was to procure q few
murderous collisions between in
temperate whites and ignorant
blacks, and point to them as proof
that reconstruction was not yet ac-
complished. These tactics are no
longer possible. The bayonet is ira
dition of the past in those common
%ealths, and We have now,
from every quarter of the South,
assurances that business 10 reviv-
Ing, that the old time prosperity is
returning, ell the while the white

things than would be the knowl-
edge that the Republican party
still had, buttressed on murder,
hypocrisy and violence, a lot Of
close boroughs in the South, on
which they could rely fer the con-
tinuance Of the fabric of their po-
litical power.
