The political status of California is
fixed at last. 1t is Republican State.
The Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Sec
rotary of State, Treasurer, Controller.
SurveyOr-G General, and Superintendent
Of Public instruction are Republicans,
All four Of the Representatives in Con-
gress are Republicans. And eleven Of
the twelve Supervisors for the City and
County of San Francisco are also Re-
publicans. This is great gain, and II
restores California to the list of Repub.
lican States for some time to come. The
fact that there were more than two State
tickets in the field this year, and thai
the Republican candidates we're elected
by plurality instead of a majority vote
does not affect the main proposition tina
this is a decided Republican victory
One of the peculiarities of Californi;
politics is the multiplicity of candidate
for Office. If it required majority vot'
to elect Governor in that State, Their
would never be an election by the PEG
pie. AS it is, the two States which LEAF
off in the Fall elections California ant
Maine-have gone Republican. This
the only "boom" which has amounted t
ANYTHING yet.

WHITTIER ON REPUBLICANIsm
FROM HIS LETTER TO THE MASsACHU-
SETS REUNION.

No one who had not, like myself,
been laboring for more than twenty
years to awaken the country to the evils
of slavery and the danger of its institu-
ton, and the duty Of opposing it at the
ballot-box, can estimate my intense
qualification at the rising of the Republi-
can party. For some years we had
tried to Influence the old Wing and
Democratic parties, and induce their
candidates to avow our object. and had
been able in most instances only to
obtain promises which were never full
filed. In 1910 some of us, wearied
with our fruitless efforts within the
ranks of those parties, broke away from
them and voted an independent ticket
the liberty party, afterward merged
in the Free-soil party, whose formation,
twenty-five years ago. is now justly
deemed worthy of celebration. From
the outset looked to the ballot-box as,
under God. the chief fundamentally
for averting the progress of slavery,
differing in this respect from some of
| my esteemed associates in the anti-slav-
cry cause. / trust | may be pardoned
the egotism of quoting words written
nearly forty years ago. "The dead letter
of Republicanism must be made living
truth. Slavery is mighty, but it can be
overthrow, if in the name of God and
humanity we bring the mightier ballot
box of kingless people to bear ubon it. =
The Republican party has done noble
work, and it has still its duties. It is
as necessary now as it ever has been.
1t must be maintained till the purity of
the ballot.box everywhere is safe from
violence and intimidation, and the civil
rights of every class of American
citizens are made secure beyond the
possibility of suppression or infringe.

If Gov. Proctor of Vermont should
perform the duties of his Office for the
next six months as acceptably to the
people Of the State, as he has in the last
year, there is danger that he will render
it impossible for the next republican
state convention to nominate any other
person that himself for Governor in
1902; and so the breaking down Of
the one term custom would be necessi-
ty. Nor would there be much mourning,
except with politicians and Office seekers,
for such result Exchange.

ACQUITTAL OF THE CHISOLM
MURDERERS.

That the trial of any of the murderers
ofthe Chisolm family should result other
wise than in an acquittal. no intelligent
person ever believed. If any one has
ever INDUCED such belief-involving.
as it must, the conviction that the laws
Of Mississippi are so enforced as to pro-
tect life and punish crime-he now has
occasion to see how greatly he has mis-
judged the temper and instincts of the
people of that section. 1t is legiti-
mate result that State government which
forced itself into power by crushing out
the majority by fraud and violence
should not be able to protect citizens in
the enjoyment of life and liberty. There
is not Democrat in Congress from the
State Of Mississippi who does not, in the
first instance, owe his place to the ter
rorism of organized assassins and the
crushing out of the Republican majority
by numerous instances Of murder and
outrage. Senator Lamar owes his seat
in the Senate to the vigorous enforce
ment Of the shot gun policy; and this
thing has been SO long countenanced
and encouraged that it is no longer a
crime to murder Republican or Dix
on when he claims the privilege of acting
in opposition to the mandates of the reg
ular Democratic managers.
The result of the trial of Henry J.
Gully for the murderer of Cornelia CHS.
olm ought to satisfy any reasonable being
that there is no such thing as justice
in Mississippi for Republicans, and tina
those who commit political murder
need not fear punishment. Lawless
ness aud wrong have been so long ram
pant in that State that it is regarded a
no moral offence or violation of law for
juryman to violate his oath. There j
not and there cannot be such thin
as public conscience where outrag

acquittal of the murder of Miss Chi

undoubtedly increase from year to year,
it is difficult to see how any advance of
prices can be hoped for. England must

THE REMEDY.

To the Editor Of the Democrat:
Placing "the Federal officeholders to live on
short rations for the entire summer" as you
have 1t in your paper OF this morning sixth
instant), will not attain the aim desired, be-
cause the President states in reply, In his
veto message, that the collection OF taxes
will continue" Hence the of1iceholders will
have ample means in their hands to pay
themselves. But let both houses of Congress
pass joint resolution (Which does not require
the presidential assenD that the collection of
the internal revenue shall remain suspended
for the space of six months, and you will then
see the result In the spontaneous alacrity Of
the people to sustain the authority OF Con-
gress. All other means are failure before
hand, as stated in my first communication
about the army being supplied by the sub
treasury supplies. These must be stopped,
and then you bring the Executive to your
feet, without violence or revolution, other
than these historical popular eKigencies. Eng
lish history furnishes ample illustrations
upon this subject, and 50 does our own Amer
lean annals, in former times, evince the spirit
of resistance to the .encroachments Of Execu-
tive presump tion. That without such a
strong measure Congress will remain power
less, in view of the determined revolutionary
tendency Of the Radical party, seems to me
self-evdent. Hence this ultra remedy.

THE KANSAS PARADISE,
How the CoI0red Emigrants are welcome
cd There by Leading Republican

journal.
To show in what manner the negroes from
the South are welcomed by the people OF
Kansas, we clip the following from an edi-
torial article In the Atchison = Champion, the
leading Republican paper In Kansas:
The mayor OF Wyandotte has issued 6 pro-
cIamation notifying all steamboat owners
aDd officers that the city, Of Wyandotte will
hold them responsible for importing destitute
persons to its shores and the legal penalties
attaching to such offense will be strictly en-
forced. He has also published an address In
which he says that there are In Wyandotte
over 1000 colored refugees, utterly destitute;
that large numbers have died. and many are
now sick, and that unless aid Is promptly
furnished hundreds will starve
We have already stated that Kansas cannot
provide employment for these people; that
not one in twenty of them can find anything
to do in this State; that our people are too
poor to support them in idleness; that they
cannot live on homesteads on our frontier I'M
less they have means to support themselves
Tor at least eight or ten months, until they
san plant and harvest crops; and that, as
they have no experience in Northern methods
OF agriculture, their success as homesteaderS
would be doubtful under the most favorable
circumstances.
these statements are true as affecting all
immigrants, white or black. Kansas is
new country. Her people are as q rule, In
very moderate circumstances. There is no
employment for unskilled labor in this State.
Ana immigrants, white or black, coming to
Kansas destitute, will inevitably suffer the
most severe privations.
Something ought to be done, by those
whose words will be needed by the unfortu-
nate people, to make them acquainted with
the facts: Il they could find employment ia
Kansas, u they could succeed as homestead
efs on our frontier, Ii there was any way in
which they could make living in this State.
we would gladly welcome them 1t is not be-
cause they are colored men that we say to
them don't, come We say the same
black. We are only presenting facts
which 1t Is OF interest to every one
thinking Of seeking a new home to know.
Possibly the government may have some
means Of convincing these unfortunate peo-
