CALIFORNIA REPUBLICANS

The Republican State Convention of
California met at Sacramento, on Au-
gust 31st. The associated press dis
patches give US very imperfect ac-
count of the proceedings, hut from
them we learn that M. M. Estee was
Nominated for Governor, on the first
ballot, as was A. r. Conkling, Of In
20, for Lieutenant Governor. w. w.
Msrrew and Henry Edgerton were
nominated for Congressman at large,
by acclamation. Secretary Of State F.
A Pedlar, of Yolo; 9. F. Davis, State
Comptroller; Chief Justices of the su-
preme Court, John Hunt, Judge Of the
Superior Court of San Francisco; and
]. C. benson, Judge Of the Superior
Court Of Sacramento. Fer Congress
men--First District, Paul Neuman;
Second District, Horace F. Page; Third
District, John J. Dehaven, Of Hum
boldt county; Fourth District, George
1. Woods, late Of Oregon, now Of San
to Clara.
The Convention was evidently well
set up by the majority, as all their can
didatea were nominated on the first
ballot u by acclamation. The true
inwardness wiA be disclosed when we
receive the official report. The 6SAt
ever the platform is said to have been
exceeding fierce.

THE LABOR QUESTION.

Il L
At no previous period in the history |
of our country, has there been 50 many
persons voluntarily refusing to work;
IN other words, 50 large a number OF
usually Industrious people engaged in
the improbable business of strikes
What is the cause of these strikesf
The demand for an increased amount
Of wages Is based upon the fact that
the workingman finds himself unable
to support himself and family with the
wages he is receiving. While this just
demand is made by the workmen the
employers will not concede it and urge
in their own defense that they are una
bic to do so. Whether this be true or
not, it is still palpable fact that capi-
tai and labor are now arrayed in hostile
camps. This condition Of affairs can
not long exist. Some remedy must
soon be found and the statesmen Of the
country must find it or be responsible
Ter the gravest results.
We have no pretensions to states
manship, but we think the remedy is
easy. Release the productive energies
of the country from the load of taxa
tion, which is already too heavy to be
borne, and the conflict will cease at
once. Few of our citizens are aware
of tbs enormous taxes sthey pay indi-
rectly, to the General Government.
According to Pig Iron Kelley, Chair
man Of the Ways and Means Commit
tee in the House, there will be yearly
surplus of $137, 100000 under the
present rate of taxation; aznd we are in
formed by the dispatches to the Asso-
ciated Press that since Congress ad-
journed the receipts at the United
States treasury are at the rate of $l,-
100000 per day. The federal taxes
from which this immense amount of
revenue accrues, ale all taxes upon
consumption. They GENE in an insid-
uous form and are not perceived; and
yet the workingmen of this country
eat nothing, drink nothing. use nothing
which does not pay q tax into the Ma
tional treasury. As long as the party
In power refuses to reduce taxation,
while the United States treasury is
overfowing with a surplus that cannot
be applied to any useful purpose, so
long will those who work for their daily
bread be unable to make both ends
meet. It is only requisite that the in
&ernsl revenue tax system, which pays
q spy for every mans house, shall be
abolished; that TIE tariff be properly
adjusted to relieve the producer and
the result will be, as sure as sunshine
follows rain, that strikes will cease and
the country be happy. This result can
never be attained as long as the Re
publican party is in power, but as Che
werkingmen begin to sec the real
cause of their suffering their voices will
be heard in too decisive manner te
remain unheeded.

The airy manner in which some pub
lie officials vote away immense sums OF
public money is well shown by the fol
lowing brief dialogue in the House OF
Representatives, between a Republican
and 3 Democrat:
Mr.. Herr. It seems to me that this
whole question Of whether an appro-
4viation is ten cents mere than it was
last year or not is all bosh, and that we
ioWsr ourselves as Representatives to
be higgling about any such question.
And Il the amount is So, 900, 900 more
