gives up the reins of power. There
has really been not single scandal
connected with any detail of the
present State administration. OF
course, 1t is all verJ we'll to assume
that the men who will succeed
Gov. Irwin and his co-adjutors are
certain to do wonderful things.
But what II the result Of the off,
cial war, for the next four years,
should fail to sustain the magnilo-
quent manifesto, issued as hostili-
ties began? We have seen such
things before. 1t is just possible
that, four years from now, a jour-
nalist, writing of our State affairs,
may not be able to speak in the
strain in which we desire to couch
compliment to the present State
authorities. Pride generally goes
before fall, so the scriptures tell
US, and it is not without the pale of
the possibilities that, in the epsu-
ing four years, we may look back
with longing to the modest and un-
obtrusive integrity, devotion to the
rights and welfare of the masses,
and square" department, which
have at all times characterized
Gov. Irwin and his associates.
When all our windy appropriations
of all the virtues have been punc-
tured; when they have strutted
their pretentious and hypocritical
hour upon the stage; when uni.
versal disgust has crystalized into
a simeon of popular disappoint-
ment and desire for political and
personal vengeance, the events of

WE have no doubt but that the
Democratic primaries to-day will
be very fully attended. Los Ange-
les is again in the humor of DEM
onstrating herself to be the "Bsn-
ner Democratic County" In fact,
on straight party iss ues, she has
never failed to score that record.
Since the last county election, when
the Democrats triumphed by an
unprecedented majority, there
has been no straight party
issue. AS the case commends
itself to US now, the Democratic
party is first, the Republican
party good second, the Working
men third and the new Constitu-
tion party last as we'll as least. Let
every Democrat go to the polls
with the determination of voting
for delegates who will give us a
good ticket and q favorable result
is assured. Not blind confidence
in success, but the action which
will insure it, is what is looked for
by the masses of the party from
the County Convention. The coun-
try districts should be largely de-
ferred to, and there is general
feeling that, in all legislative nom-
inations-in nominations involv-
ing the shaping of our new organic
law-representatives of the new
Constitution vote should be pre-
ferred. There is in the emocratic
party disposition, to which we
know of no exceptions, to take the
Senatorial and Assembly nominees
from that section of the party
which championed the new organ
ic law.

The Jewish Question.

NEW YORK, July 25th. - Jere
Harrison, an intelligent colored
man, who was formerly Congress.
man from Alabama, declares that
the negro exodus has hardly begun
yet, and predicts that it will start
anew this fall, with a wholesale
sweep not dreamed of. He says
chat no less then $4,000 blacks will
leave the first district of Alabama
alone. The negroes are infatuated
with the idea of going, and nothing
will stop them. He Is not much In
favor of the movement, but finds it
entirely useless to argue against it..
He thinks there are enough negroes
In Kansas now, and favors some of
them going to Southern Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio. While they
are eager to go away, they would
remain at home could they be sure
of fair treatment.

THE attempt of the Republican
journals to make a great pretence
of popularity for Perkins deceives
no one. Mr.. Perkins's candidacy
is deep disappointment to the
better elements of the Republican
party. When it is admitted that
George c. Perkins is personally a
very clever man the question at
issue has not been touched at all.
He is in truth one of the litigants
in the case of the People vs.. the
Corporations, and no one is so OBJ
fuse as not to know that 1t is a very
unfair thing to seek to make him a
judge in his own cause. The con-
troversy lies deeper than any in
quiry as to whether Mr.. Perkins, as
a controller of a transportation
company, has acted in measura-
bly, good natured way to the resi-.
dents of the Southern coast. 1t goes
to the roots OF great popular
grievance which ought not TO be
pooh-poohed or whistled down the
wind. Ex-Governor Leland Stan
ford is personally very excellent
man, yet very few people indeed
would desire to see him the official
arbiter in the dispute between the
railway and its patrons. There is q
time for everything; and the time
to put an amiable man like Per-
kins in the Gubernatorial chair, If
ever, is when he has been out of
the transportation business some
years, and the people have given
its decisive cast to their new or
ganic law. His elevation would
then be attended with no imminent
danger to the public if voters had
made up their minds that it was
expedient to have Republican
Governor at all.

OF all elections ever recorded in
California or elsewhere the current

say, In view of a certain fusion
confusion. A man when he goes

considerable doubt as to what he

So to speak, he is Obliged to grope
around in the dark for awhile. At

flashes upon him aud he knows
whether he is a Democrat, Re-
publican, Workingman or an
Honorable Blk. Hitherto the
maximum number of tickets in the
United States in State and Nation

has always been a charm In odd
numbers. In Massachusetts, there
