IT is matter for congratulation that
the often divided and betroubled De-
mocracy of Philadelphia have come to a
substantial agreement upon SO excellent
representative for delegate at large
from this state TO the Democratic
national convention as Mr.. w. +. liar
rity' They could have presented none
whom heparty in the rest of the state
would more heartily approve. The ecourse
OF Mr.. Harrity in directing the
organization 80 as to present the great.
est harmony compatible with its highest
elhciency has Won for him the entire
confidence of the large body of Demo.
Gratis in the interior, who know that Sc
much OF the result in this state depend,
upon the wisdom, the unsellishness ani
the honesty which control the organiza
tIon in Philadelphia, and when th,
party there puts forth one who stand
for these the Democracy of the stat
will be only too glad to do him honor.

4 Weakening JOrpOratIOn

We are likely to have cheap telegraphy
before long. The effort Of the Western
Union company to buy up competing
companies, which has been continued
through many years, has left it too
weak for further essays of that charac.
ter. 1t is only interested now in an en-
deavor to keep itself alive The indica.
tions are that it will fade away before
the competition preparing for it.. Any
strong party could enter into this com
petition successfully ; and he party is at
hand in the Baltimore Il Ohio company,
which is actively preparing to reach
all paying telegraphic points in the
country with its lines. An Independent
cable line owned by Mr.. Bennett of the
Herald and Mr.. Mackay, Of bonanza
fame, Is about to be laid, and it Is certain
to remain an independent line. AS
Mr.. Mackay has said to some one, inquir.
ing on the subject, the owners are able to
wait long for their profits, and this enter
prise will not be hampered by demands
Of stockholders for speedy dividends.
Mr.. Bennett interests as a newspaper
proprietor are an additional guarantee
that the new cable line will preserve its
autonomy. The folly of the old lines in
swallowing each other has had a like
weakening effect in the resultant crea-
lures that has met the Western Union
anaconda. They are both at the mercy Of
the young, alert and unburthened rivals,
by land and sea, which we know are
coming to stay, because they are strong
enough to conquer and it will be prodta-
ble to them TO fight.

and New York city in particular is made

extortion.

A GRAVE NEGLECT.

Tho Alturas Central Committees
have neglected to prescribe the test to
be taken at the primaries. This omis-
sion leaves the door open so that Dem
ocrats may vote at the Republican
primaries, and Republi cans may vote
at the Democratic primaries. TO be
sure, no honorable man will vote at
the primaries Of party with which he
does not affiliate, but it is unfortunate.
ly equally certain that all men are not
honorable. If they were no laws
would be required, our jails would be
EN- oty, and there would be no heed
Of penitentiaries.
1t may not be too late to remedy
the evil. A meeting can be called, or
other steps taken, that will result in
imposing some pledge, fixing some
way, by which only those who should
can vote at the primaries. Unless this
is done, the primaries will be fraud
on both parties, and the anomaly may
be presented Of having delegates to a
party convention elected by adherents
Of the opposite party.
Let US be understood. We are not
advocating the drawing OF the party
lines, for that would bar out the bulk
of the voters, very few voting ''straght
tickets" nova days. But the pledges
or tests should be so framed that a
man who scratched one or two names
at preceding elections the indepen-
dent voter.-shall be allowed to vote
Attention is called to the neglect al
this time to avoid possible complica'
tons at or after the primaries.

self as candidate Cor Sheriff under
the head "New To-Day"
Charley Furey has been in Office
nearly two years, and during that time,
has so conducted himself as to deserve
the esteem OF all with whom he came
in contact. A thoroughly honorable
man and fearless but humane official,
his course has been such as to vindi.
cate the Judgment OF his friends and
partisans, while silencing his enemies
and the unfortunates in his custody.
Having discharged the duties of the
Office to the general satisfaction of the
people of Alturas county, there can
be no doubt but that, if renominated
he will be reelected, as his name will
prove a tower OF strength on the
ticket.
