PULP MANUFACTURERS IN CONGRESS-

The persistence with which the united
efforts of the press of this country to pro-
cure reduction or repeal of the duty upon
paper and its materials, have been opposed,
has naturally provoked great deal of sur
prise, the tendency of the average poll
tician being generally to shun the displeas-
ure of the press and to court its goodwill.
When therefore whole Congress shows
itself not merely Indifferent to the good
will of the press, but deaf to the APP
peals of justice made in its behalf,
the presumption is that something
more than meets the eye is influencing
the situation, and that these Congress
men are in fact beng braced up from
behind the scenes in some incomprehensi-
BILE manner. The explanation of this mys-
terry is said to have been discovered in the
circumstance that two former members of
Congress 1--WE are not sure whether or not
they still hold seats) contrived to SIN lggle
bill through which gave them the monop-
oily of paper pulp manufacture. These
monopolists, il seems, have since sold
their exclusive privileges, at the rate of
S75, 600 year, to as many other fir ms as
represent an annual income of 81, 500, 900.
All this capital, and all that is indirectly
invested in the business, is now fight
ing the press, and endeavoring to retain
the duty on imported pulp. The presump-
ton of course is that the two old Congress-
men who engineered the bill through and
so made fortunes for themselves, have been
supplying the necessary ''nerve" to the
present Congress, which they are certainly
well able to do. They could in fact afford
to spend couple of millions upon the
lobby rather than lose their enormously
lucrative monopoly, and no doubt they are
prepared to spend whatever sum is
necessary to prevent the repeal of
the obnoxious tariff. Meantime the
press has no corruption fund available.
If Congress is venal, all the press can
do is to prevent the men now there from
being returned again and if they are paid
well enough to make up for the curtail-
ment of their public careers, they are not
likely to care much for the infection of
that penalty. 1t is possible, however, that
the exposure of this state of things may
bring about its abrogation, for shame
sometimes effects what no appeal to sense
of honor or justice can accomplish. 1t is
monstrous thing that the whole press should
be taxed wantonly for no other purpose
than the enrichment of handful of greedy
manufacturers, and clear fixing OF the
responsibility for this iniquity will have to
be done in the near future.

Russ1A.s WAR PREPARATIONS.

There can no longer be any doubt that
Russia anticipates war with China, if she
has not already resolved that there shall
be such war. She is sending her strong
est vessels into the Pacific, and collecting
munitions of war in such quantities, and
with such haste, as to betoken a serious
purpose. Apparently also she intends to
carry on her operations more by sea than
by land, though such a programme is likely
to lead her into complications with other
powers, who are not concerned in her quar-
rel. What China no doubt prefers would
be a war in Central Asia, where she would
have a great advantage over her enemy,
and where her redundant population could
be made effective at the least outlay The
Russian commanders are not credited with
much knowledge of their profession, but
there are some among them who know the
difficulties of Central Asiatic campaigning,
and these have probably represented the
enormous expense of prosecuting war in
that direction. On the sea China is com.
paratively powerless, but there she is likely
to have more effective mediators than in
Kuldja, and SO the Russian plan may not
prove effective after all.

THE DEMOCRATIC "FRAuD" ISSUE.

The Democratic State Convention which
met at Oakland this week adopted plat
form containing among other things
resolution denouncing the fraud by which
" R. B. Hayes and W. A. Wheeler were
" declared President and Vice President of
" the United States, and the fairly elected
g candidates, Samuel j. Tilden and Thomas
" A. Hendricks, counted out. It is true
that some time has elapsed since the events
referred to in this resolution are alleged to
have happened, but this ought not to have
rendered the Democratic Convention OBJ
hvious to the facts of history. The
so-called fraud of which they complain was
the issue of an agreement to which their
own most trusted leaders and representa-
tives were consenting parties, and to all
the results of which those leaders and rep
resentatives subscribed 1t is the hight
of nonsense for these Democrats, there
ore, to talk as though the election
of Hayes and Wheeler had been
effected in a surreptitious manner,
and the only inference that can
be drawn from it is that they never in.
tended that the Electoral Commission
should act freely and Independently. For
rational beings to agree to a certain
method of adjusting difficult dispute,
and then to find fault with the adjustment
solely because it did not give the victory
to their side, is ridiculous and puerile.
Moreover, the cry of fraud has been out of
place in Democratic mouths ever since the
exposure OF Tilden's cipher transactions,
nor will the lapse of time justify its res
direction. 1t has been too conclu-
sively proved that the Democratic cam
didate did his best to buy his way into
the Presidency to make it possible for his
supporters to utter the word fraud =
without stultifying themselves. Those
who uphold Samuel j. Tilden as an honest
and reputable candidate must be altogether
too thick.skinned to be good judges of
moral questions.

A LESSON TO BE STUDIED CAREFULLY.


1t too often happens that the most inter
esting and instructive events happen before
our eyes without conveying any suggestion,
merely because we are not observing them
thoughtfully and critically. a few weeks
ago there occurred change of Govern
ment in England, for example. What did
that event signify for the most of us ?
Simply that the Liberals had become more
popular than the Conservatives, and so had
beaten their opponents. But there was in
this event most suggestive point When
Lord Beaconsfeld was defeated, what was
the effect upon the English Civil Service {?
There was no effect. Every man who had
previously held office under the Govern
ment continued to hold it, with the excep-
ton OF some fourteen persons, direct men,
bers of the Government, who resigned their
places. And how quickly the popular viii
is reflected in the change of Government.
The elections are held The Conserva-
tives are beaten. And in three weeks from
the beginning of the elections the Lib
eral Government has been formed. and has
already made its peculiar policy felt to the
farthest limits of the British Empire. Does
it not strike the thoughtful reader that in
these things there lie lessons which Ameri-
cans may well study with care? Here we
have complete demonstration of what
civil service reform will do for national
politics. There is in England no lack Of
popular interest in politics. On the con-
trary, the popular interest increases con-
tinually. But there are no places to be
worked for at primaries or in local conven-
tons. There are no means of propping up
rotten Congressional timber with Custom
house appointments and Postoffices. Ev-
cry man who desires to enter public life as
a politician must stand upon his own bot
tom. There is no doubt still too much
bribery and corruption, but no American
politician will pretend that we are exempt
from that form of abuse. We have bribery
and corruption of the English kind, plus
the official corruption machinery per-
tanning specially to our system. There
they have advanced so far as to bring the
Government directly within reach of the
popular will Here, with professedly
democratic scheme of government, the con-
troll of affairs is practically beyond the
reach of the masses, and even when they
succeed in changing the policy of the domi-
nant party, they have to wait long time
before their will finds expression in the
law-making power. A change of Govern
ment crowns fierce campaign in England,
and no more than fourteen persons change
office. The whole complex machinery of
the Government runs on without check
or pause, and no man in office has any
reason to apprehend dismissal because his
politics do not agree with those of the new
Government. Surely this is result well
worth attainment. Surely we shall have
no security against the most dangerous and
demoralizing corruption until we have d.
vorced our civil service from party politics
in like manner.

TIE LEADING WEEKLY.

There is to-day no paper in the State or on the
coast which presents such strong claims to every
person feeling the need Of reliable paper as the
SACRAMENTO WEEKLY UNION. 1t is published twice
each week in eight page parts, thus bringing the
news of the day oftener and earlier to the r-ader
than it is possible for the old style week ~ to do.
The WEEKLY UNION is the most varied in depart
rnents, edited with the most scholarly ability, and
conducted with the most regard TO the en- ighten-
ment OF the people, the advancement of the
State and the development OF her best energies.
In art, agriculture, science, political economy,
national policy, home and foreign news, gen
era miscellany, sports OF the field, market re-
ports literary reviews, and all tie other general
features Of first class journal for the home, street,
Office shop and business mart, the WEEKLY UNION
has no superior It's subscription list increases
daily with unprecedented rapidty, and in the rapid
and continuous extension of its circulation there is
no corresponding record.

THE GEORGE CHARGES.

We think it will have to be admitted
that there is nothing in the so-called
George charges, seeing that Democratic
Congressional committee, on the eve of
Presidential campaign, has thought it USE
less to investigate them, notwithstanding
the intimation that they involve accusa-
tions against prominent Republican can
didate for the Presidency. Such re-
fusal under such circumstances certainly
must be regarded as very emphatic ver-
dict of mot guilty" If there were the
least FEASIBILITY in the charges if it
seemed possible to torture them into
semblance of verisimilitude; it cannot be
doubted that they would have been in
quired into sufficiently to bring the allega-
tions before the country. Those charges
must indeed be transparency foolish and
vain which at such juncture are rejected
by Democratic committee as undeserving
notice.
