know that the patronage will be out of his
hands for SO long, even if he should obtain
a position IN the Cabinet, and they know
that Warner and Miller will possess that
patronage. This is not matter of con-
lecture, and it must affect politics consider
ably. In fact we see that Conkling has re-
ceived SO many rebuffs that it is doubtful
whether he can go to the Convention unless
he accepts proxy. There is disposition
on the part of his friends to bolt where
they are outnumbered. This maneuver has
indeed become the regular Conkling policy.
It was pursued at Albany, and it is now
carried into the State campaign. The
presumption is that it will have no other
effect than to split the party wide open.
Conkling however has quite as much to
lose from such an outcome as his antago-
nists. 1t cannot help him to give the
State to the Democrats, but it will inten-
sify the feeling against him, and will bring
into sharper prominence the fact of his
treason to the party; treason which has
already thrown the Presidential succession
into the hands of the Democrats, and
which threatens still greater injuries.

PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS.

Just before the death of President Gar.
field there arose in Pennsylvania cloud
no larger than mans hand, but which
nevertheless looked as if it might in no
long time cover the whole armament. The
stalwart" Republicans of that State,
under the direction of the clan Cameron,
had seized the party machinery and mo-
nopolized it. To such an extent was the
practice of ostracism carried that none
VINO had taken any part in the Chicago
Convention against the Grant faction were
permitted to enter the State Nominating
Convention. 1t was, in fact, close
corporation arrangement, bearing the brand
of the Grant Cameron clique all over.
The Republican press of Pennsylvania
protested against the movement as likely
to produce schism in the party, but
when the Grant, Cameron faction had cap
tured the Convention, and made the nomi-
nations, still vigorously excluding every
man who had been against Grant at Chi
cage, this same press accepted the situa-
ton, on the ground that it was better to
submit to machine rule than to turn the
State over to the Democrats. At this juno
ture Mr.. Charles Wolfe, politician of some
note locally, and formerly member of the
Legislature, announced himself as an
Independent candidate for Treasurer, which
is the principal Office to be illed this year.
Mr.. Wolfe represents the anti-Grant, or
perhaps we should rather say, the pro-
Garfield element, and it will be interesting
to see how his candidature operates. The
majority of the Republican papers have
thrown cold water upon him, saying that
he can only split the party and let in the
Democrats. A few journals, however,
are bold enough to suggest that this is an
off year in politics, and that therefore it
might be good time TO give the g bosses" "
lesson. No doubt the death of President
Garfield will have a depressing influence
upon his friends in Pennsylvania, and will

AN INHosPIrABLE PORT.

The treatment of sailors in San Fran
cisco has always been abominable, but the
climax of inhumanity appears to have been
reached in the case of the survivors of the
ship Alice Buck, which was wrecked the
other day off the San Mateo coast. These
poor fellows, after having been buffeted for
hours by the waves, were rescued in pitt
full condition. They had saved none of
their effects. The clothes they had on
were torn to rags. And they were bruised
and sore from their long struggle. But on
reaching San Francisco they discovered
that unless they were absolutely incapable
there was no shelter or relief for them.
The consignees of the wrecked vessel re-
fused to do anything for them, on the
ground that the ships papers were lost,
and they did not know what was due the
crew. The United States Shipping Com
missioner professed himselfpowerless to help
them; and the only persons who took any in
terest in them were the crimps and kidnap.
ing land-pirates on the water front, who
hoped to make prize of the destitute men,
and.secure their advance wages for another
voyage, after the usual fashion. In fact
these poor fellows could hardly have fallen
upon worse treatment had they been
wrecked among savages, and there are
many savages who would have behaved a

A MYSTERIOUS CASE.


Considerable comment has been elected
by the singularly hasty action of the Gov
eminent in surrendering the Italian Ran
dazzo to the italian Government. This
man was accused of being notorious
italian brigand. He, however, declared
that he had lived for several years in New
Orleans, where he could bring many wit
nesses to speak to his identity. The case
was heard before United States Commits.
sioner, and he appears to have formed his
decision upon photograph which the
italian authorities produced, and which
represented man closely resembling the
accused. The latter had asked to be taken
to New Orleans, so that he could bring
forward his witnesses, but this was refused
him, and in the absence of the Secretary
of State his deputy surrendered the man TO
the Isalal ,ieg. \ the case stands no

NEW COLUMBIA.

The commander of the revenue cutter
Corwin has added new territory to the
area of the United States, by taking formal
possession of the arctic terra incognita hith.
erto spoken of as Wrangel Land. A CORE.
spondent Of San Francisco paper who was
on board the Corwins speaks of thisnew acqui-
sition quite enthusiastically, declaring that
it contains valuable gold and coal mines,
fertile lands, and many desirable things
But as the explorations of the Corwin do
not appear to have extended more than
few hundred yards from the sea coast, it
is open to doubt whether the resources of
Wrangel Land are really quite understood.
That it will ever be remunerative in
vestment ismoreover extremely improbable.
1t is indeed alleged that while the Corwin
was there the temperature never fell below
forty-six degrees of Fahrenheit, but it
seems that the cutter had great difficulty
in approaching the coast because of the ice
that skirted it thickly, and as the
fauna of the new territory appear
to consist almost entirely of Polar bears,
the prospect is not altogether exhilarating
from the colonization standpoint. The
efforts thus far made to people Alaska have
not been very successful. Countries in
which everything is frozen up during from
six to nine months in the year may be rich
in mineral and other resources, but it is
likely to be long time before they are
developed. Wrangel Land, or New Co.
lumbia, as it has been rechristened, is
probably several degrees more inhospitable
than Alaska, and we do not suppose that
there will be any rush to locate quarter
sections and town lots there. Indeed, but
for the honor of the thing, Uncle Sam
would probably be just as well off without
the new territory, and perhaps the only
encouraging reflection in the premises is
that no other power is likely to contest
the possession of it with us.

ITS SUPERIORITY.

The superiority of the WEEKLY UNION over its
contemporaries found fresh illustration in the publ
cation OF recent events The attempted assassina-
ton OF President Garfield occurred Saturday

ton of the other leading weekles The issue of the
following Tuesday mornings WEEKLY UNION con-
veyed to its readers the thrilling intelligence, with
full details of the crime Again, the death OF the
President occurred on Monday night, and on the
next morning the issue Of the WEEKLY UNION for the
first part of the week was the first journal to carry
the news throughout the country. The WEEKLY
UNION divides the week into periods of three and
four days. and being issued at these intervals

USELESS STATISTICS.

Some of our contemporaries have been
amusing themselves by making esti-
mates of the amount of money expended
for funeral trappings and drapings in the
entire country on the occasion of the Pres
ident's funeral. Taking the expenditure
of San Francisco as basis, and putting
that expenditure at probably three times
the actual outlay, our ingenious contempt
raries persuade themselves that not less
than $50, 900, 900 were spent in the whole
United States. These figures ought to
have shown their own absurdity, but they
did not. We should be very much sur
prised if one-sixth of the sum estimated
was spent in black and white calicos in the
whole country. But whether it was spent
or not makes no difference Whatever
capital was SO invested was well invested,
since it was the properest and best thing
to be done under the circumstances. No
one has been impoverished by the outlay,
and nothing would have been saved by
not making it. The self-respect and
the inward life of nation are worth
great deal more than the utmost that could
have been spent in these manifestations of
honor and affection to our dead ruler. The
kind of arithmetic that is employed to
show the public that they could have done
much better had they given half the money
to the heather, or to orphan asylums, or
expended it in -four or cord.wood for the
winter, is sordid, stupid. mean and fallaci-
ous, and deserves only contempt and ridi-
cule. Every cent of the money spent in
celebrating this occasion was well spent.
Parsimony at such times is not only a dis.
grace to the people, but it is an example
that produces pernicious and debasing
results.

NEW YORK POLITICS.
results.

Republican politics in New York are
confused. A fierce struggle is proceeding
between the Garfield and Conkling Repub-
licans, though the latter have thus far ex.
hibited far less vitality and energy than
might have been expected from them in
view of the sudden Improvement in the
previously declining fortunes of their
leader. Probably the reflection that Conk-
ling is excluded from the Senate for four
years certainly, has something to do with
the lukewarmness of his followers. They
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1881-10-01

correspondingly embolden the Grant Cam
eron faction. But if the Garfield Republic
cans are sincere and determined there is
little doubt of their ability to give the
chooses !" lesson, and it remains to be
seen whether they will make the attempt.
From this fight the country may also derive
some valuable indications as to the proba-
BILE tendencies of the new Administration.

THE "FAIR TRADE" FOLLY IN ENG
LAND.

This new craze has already enlisted the
support of several otherwise intelligent
men, who are making specious but al
together misleading arguments in favor of
it. One of these consists in the assertion
that England is going down hill because
her imports largely exceed her exports.
The truth is that England is the creditor
of the world. She has capital invested
everywhere. And the excess of imports
over exports really represents the returns
upon her foreign investments, and proves
her prosperity instead of her decline.
The so.called "Fair traders propose to
put tax of five shillings the quarter upon
foreign wheat, in order, as they say, to re-
store the prosperity of the British farmer.
They propose, that is, to tax the loaf of
the workingman in order to bolster
up the farmers, who have succumbed to
natural and insurmountable competition.
1t is not to be supposed that
the commons of England will
submit to this outraged But it will direct
attention to real evils. 1t will cause the
English people toperceive more clearly than
ever how primogeniture and entail have
handicapped agriculture, and how hopeless
it is to expect any amelioration of the present
condition of that industry SO long as these
legacies of feudalism survive. Free trade in
land will be the next great watch word in
English politics, in short, and while the
iniquitous and imbecile attempt to
restore the corn laws will fail signally,
the last bulwarks of class domination in
England will in all probability be swept
away in the contest which is being inaugu-
rated SO bGndly by those who have every
thing to lose in it.

A CRITICAL JUNc4URg.

While it may be that in practice there is
nothing to apprehend, it must be conceded
that In theory the Government of the
United States was never SO near total
breakdown as it is at this moment. There
is in fact literally but one life between the
country and condition of things for deal
ing with which no constitutional provision
exists, and which could only be dealt with
by going outside of the Constitution. For
whereas the Constitution provides that in
the event of the death of the President
the Vice. President shall take his place,
and that in the event of the death of the
Vice. President the presiding officer of
the Senate or the Speaker of the House
shall succeed to the Presidency, it hap
pens that at this moment there Is
neither Vice President, a presiding
officer of the Senate, or a Speaker of the
House. 1t is true that the Senate has been
called together to select a presiding officer,
but if before it had convened President
Arthur should die there would be for the
time beingno successor to him available, and
the country would be without head.
The danger of such situation is perhaps
problematical at this time, but it is easy
to perceive that when it is possible to bring
about such hiatus in the Government,
it may at any moment become a source of
real mischief, and therefore provision
ought to be made for the enforcement of
the duty laid upon the Senate and the
House, of keeping up the Yice-Presidency
and Speakership without any interregnum.

for carrying on a traffic in decorations. He
was so imprudent as to write to M. Rou-

saying he would dispose of any number of
Orders of Nyzam at the rate OF 1900
francs each, and offering Nj. Roustan EGO
for every brevet of appointment which the

NJ. Roustan sent this letter to the Project

for some time past he has been conducting
very lucrative little business as vender Of
letters patent for the orders Of Christ of
Portugal. Isabella the Catholic Of Spain,
st. Maurice and st. Lazarus of Italy, and
the Savior of Greece. These were the or
ders of which he sold most, but he seems
to have acquired the power of obtaining
good many others and the letters patent
which he retailed were always genuine.
