The men who are thus putting General
Grant forward are no doubt actuated by
the most selfish motives. They hope to
acquire practically unlimited political
power through his success. They know
that he will not desert his friends ''under
fire, and they rely upon this trait in his
character to bear them harmless out of any
possible assault upon their records. They
have nothing to expect, moreover, from an
other candidate. Their fortunes are linked
with Grants, for theyrepresent an abnormal
condition of things, and one which cannot
be perpetuated unless the form of govern
ment is virtually changed, and the usur-
pations which they have introduced are
fortified and sanctioned by precedent
and prescription. 1t is in fact the
last chance of the machine satraps.
They know that if they fail now
the people will never give them an
other opportunity to establish personal
government, and as they have control of
the party machinery in most of the States,
they are determined to make desperate
effort for victory. Should they succeed in
nominating Grant at Chicago they rely
upon the folly of the Democrats to render
the abandonment of the Republican ticket
impossible with the majority. In this the
event may prove them right, though it is
always possible that for once the Demo-
Gratis may reverse their usual practice, and
put forward an acceptable candidate. The
Republican masses who voted against
Grantism and all that it implied, four years
ago, are not likely to be very enthu-
siastic supporters of the same system
now, in any event. 1t is too early to
perceive whether they will find it prac-
ticable to put a third candidate in
the field as final resort, but there
are already definite steps being taken
with that end in view Certain it is that
the magnitude of the issue involved, the
danger to democratic institutions from ma
chine politicians, and the strong resistance
to the third-term proposition, are combin-
ing to produce an opposition to General
Grants denomination which makes the III
innate success of his canvass, supposing
he should carry the Convention, very
problematical. The surest way to prevent
what thoughtful and intelligent Republic
cans so earnestly deprecate, is of course to
work against the machine politicians before
the Convention meets, and that course is
being followed in the Eastern States by
constantly increasing body of independent
Republicans, who have determined not to
leave the management of party affairs to
the professionals.

defeat of that party at the polls, instead of
insuring its success Why, then, do the
.machine men so determinedly ignore
public opinion and the practical bearings
of the situation, and urge forward their
forlorn hope SO obstinately? The way in
which the Pennsylvania and New York
Conventions were managed give us the clue
to this perplexing question. In both these
States the Republican party is under per-
sonal government. In both these States
the absolute ruler of the party machinery
is sort of political satrap. 1t is this class,
the class of bosses, that is to say, which
is SO desperately anxious to put General
Grant in the White House again. 1t
must be borne in mind that his military
training and habits of thought naturally
incline him to regard the "boss +" sys-
tenn III h favor. 1t is the reverse
of democratic, but soldiers are of necessity
autocrats, since subordination and dis
cipline are the very foundation of military
success. The boss system, however, is
incompatible with good or safe or honest
government, withre of the civil service,
with the suppression of corruption, with
the removal of any of the abuses which
have pressed so heavily upon the country
since the close of the rebellion. 1t is a
system which affords the easiest possible
way of changing the Government without
altering its ostensible form. Under this
g boss system real Imperialism can be
established, supported by handful
of machine politicians, each one con-
trolling great State through such means
as Tammany uses. To pretend that liberty
could be preserved under such trans
formation would be preposterous. To pre-
tend that there is no danger of such a
transformation in the event of Grants re-
election would be to ignore every present
Indication. Already in two of the greatest
States of the Union public opinion has
been defantly disregarded by "bosses,"
and it is evidently intended to carry the
National Convention by the same methods.
This is the abandonment of Republican
usages, and the adoption of usages as OPP
posed to free political action as Louis Ma
poleon's plebiscaes.

's0LD JOHN BRowN's' FAMILY.-Miss
Sarah Brown, daughter of old John Brown,
whose ''soul goes marching on" is in
Santa Clara. the guest of Mrs. r. l.. Hig
gins, wife of the real estate dealer. The
Journal says she is lady of medium size,
black hair, large, full gray eyes, and rather
prominent and clear cut features, while her
manner and conversation are rather retir-
ing. She freely speaks of the lives and
history OF her family, particularly of her
father and her brothers. The family is
large and scattered. Mrs. Brown. two
daughters and one son are now living at
Rhonerville, Humboldt county, CAL, while
one brother lives in Ancon, Ohio. Two
brothers live on an island in Lake Erie.
One has charge of farm owned by Jay
Cooke of New York. The mother, two
sisters and brother think of locating in
this county. Miss Brown remembers many
meetings and partings with her father at
the old home in North Elbe, Essex county,
New York. The old homestead was sold
TO Miss Kate Field, and one fourth of an
acre OF it was reserved for the burial-place
of the father, whose resting.place is marked
by granite slab with the following in
scription: "John Brown, born in Torring-
ton, Conn, May 9, 1900. Executed at
Charleston, Virginia, Dec. End, 1859" In
the spring of 1864, the wife and widow,
with four children. came across the plains
to California, stopping at Red Bluff for six
years, and then moving to their present To-
cation in Humboldt county.
