BULL BUTTER,

Mr. Frank G. De Long owes it to the
people of his State to furnish bill of par
ticulars, since he charged in open meeting
at San Francisco that the dairymen of the
coat were compelled to expend the sum OF
81 800 at the last session of the Legisla-
ture in order to secure the passage of an
admittedly just bill. Can it be that in the
great State of California, where all are so
pure and good and have been regenerated
in the fires OF new and perfect Constitu-
ton that purged the State of all the vile
ness that had hitherto afflicted it !; can it
be that such things as Mr.. De Long charges
are true? Are you lying, Mr.. De Long {?
No? Then tell us, please, who the grave
and reverend Senators were whom you
dined and wined to secure their votes ;
who the Assemblymen that refused to be
convinced until you had stuffed their bel.
lies with trutlles and muddled their brains
with falsified wines ? We confess, Mr.. De
Long, that sinful human nature inclines US
to believe you, but, indeed, bill of par.
ticulars would be most racy reading Be.
sides, it would expose some of the methods
of legislation, that would be very useful
knowledge when next tie people come up
and ask their hired servants at the State
Capitol to protect them against spurious
manufactures, as, for instance, By the en-.
actment of laws to make it criminal TO sell
bull butter for COW butter.

THE NOMINATIONS.

Both political parties have placed candi.
dates in the field for the city school offices.
They are all good citizens, and any of them
can be intrusted with school affairs Who.
ever of them may be elected, there is no
likelihood of the schools receiving injury.
The Republican committee has made good
nominations, and put forward names that
guarantee the success of the ticket, since
this is a Republican city. Some of the
gentlemen have already served in the posi-.
tions for which they are nominated, and
have been found competent, faithful and
discreet. The Republican ticket is an
especially strong one. There is now no
reason why it should not receive the party
support, and the support of voters gener-
ally. The committee, in making it up has
reflected the best sentiment of the party.
The menace which at one time threatened
the party ticket was avoided by vigorous
assault upon unwarranted ambition, and
the effort to make the school department
subordinate to selfish aims and "boss :"
rule. The committee has wisely acted in
accord with the intelligence of the people
and their manifest will that the school
offices shall not have entangling alliances,
nor shall they be made stepping. stones for
political preferment. The Republican
ticket, we repeat, voices the best sentiment
of the party, and commends itself to the
voters of the city so strongly that, without
single exception, every candidate on it
should be elected.

It is worthy of note that one single in
stance of successful prescience in this line
would keep alive the faith of the dupe as
against one hundred failures. In the
olden time men burned witches and cor
ceresses, or those who pretended to witch.
craft, sorcery and fortune-telling and,
except as to the physical pain inflicted,
that disposition was about the most eco.
nomic use they could be put to. We do
not seriously propose to revive the stake
as cure for this kind of contemplate
humbuggery, but we do assert, and, to
borrow the emphasis of the cross-road
lyceum, we assert it without fear OF con-
tradiction," that the only good witches are
the burned ones and moreover we are
prepared to maintain that the ashes of the
witches are worth more to civilization
than all the civiliziug influences which
have ever been, or can be attributed to-,
commerce with either the blessed or the
damned.

TIE FALSE PaoPaRr.

The glee of the French over the defeat
of Hicks Pasha by the False Prophet
since he has won so signal battle We feel
constrained to write him down in capitals
will be shortlived. They imagine that
they will become factors again in the ad-
justment of the Eastern question. Nothing
is farther removed from probability. They
will scarcely be consulted, we imagine Dat
of courtesy, De Lesseps and his henchmen
will be heard, but no attention will be
paid to their advice. England will act in
this emergency with a vigor and decisive
ness that will soon settle the whole trouble.
It is not at all improbable that the long
threatened and complete proteetorate will
now be established over Egypt. That
miserable country demands the rule of
some strong and humane power, and his
tory will, in the future records at least,
justify its being snatched from the incom-
petents who maladminister its affairs now.

AN ADDRESS.


The City Republican Central Committee
has, on the eve of school election, pro.
jected into the campaign, without any
timely reason for it whatever, preamble
and several resolutions relative to the
financial affairs of the city, and which will
only be opportune for consideration when
the spring election comes on. However, it
may be said, since the committee appear to
think it necessary to speak now, that it is
possible the committee may not have it in
its power to pledge the party candidates in
the spring-the electors will probably at
tend to that. The expressions of the cem-
mittee condenning boss rule, etc., are
commendable, as also its utterances denun-
ciatory of any and all schemes that may be
aimed at the prosperity OF the city, or
speculation upon its misfortunes and neces.
sites, So, too, the community will agree
with the committee that the city indebted
ness must be finally adjusted at the lowest
possible figure, and that it is wise to stand
upon any rights the law guarantees the
municipality. Of course, as to the
extent and cost of litigation, and
the advisability of compromise, etc.,
sound business wisdom should guide us,
backed by determiL alton not to be i'm
posed upon or to suffer any wrong. So we
say, as we have always said, that specific
pledges exacted of candidates as to the
financial adjustment of municipal obliga-
tions are unwise. They have proved
valueless in the past, and will SO prove in
the future. Great financial problems are
not to be solved in that way. In short,
we never have been the friend of political
financiering. The better way for this city
to do is to choose officials next spring in
whom the people can repose entire conf
dence, and trust to them to deal honestly
and fairly, and with closest economy, as
business wisdom, experienced judgment
and the circumstances justify. Rising su-
perior to all political issues is the question
of the prosperity and advancement of this
city, the reduction of the tax rate to the
lowest figure attainable, the resistance of
any and all imposition on the part of bond
holders or financial spectators, and the
adjustment of the city indebtedness with
economy and business good sense at the
lowest possible figure.
