A SERPENT smitten on the heat

A SERPENT smitten on the head
squirms most dreadfully, and with
dislocated head strikes in various
directions, but to no purpose. His
smiter stands by and rejoices in his
squirmings, and his disability to do
harm. Ills thus with the man from
Maine. Having his political head
disjointed and himself sat upon, his
splenic exercises are more amusing
than hurtful.

The choice of a United States
Senator ought to be prompted by the
quiet judgement of the people as to
the qualifications of the man to be
chosen. 1t ought not to make any
difference whether man is well or
little known, whether he is popular
in politics or not. In fact, it ought
to argue in a mans favor that he has
no slight in politics, If he has the
ability. Ability and fitness are the
qualities to he looked after. The
state is TO have its benefits in such
an office from these qualities. The
dignity of It's position in comparison
with its sisters can only be compassed
by the personal qualities and mental
abilities of the men selected TO rep
resent her in the dignlfied position
of Senator. The man must measure
to the top in social and mental quail
tiles, or the State cannot rise to that
degree Of course. Men with politi-
cal acumen may be serviceable else

Marysville. Sacramento, Stockton, Los Ange-
les and San Jose, having the same rate from the
East as San Francisco, order direct of the East

likewise, supply the country tributary to them;
II is presumable that the proposed move
ment mas relation to matters affecting the
trade Of this city.
Ono sensible importer is reported as say
ing:
While business Is dull here, it Is not so in the
interior. But this city can never again expect
to supply the territory formerly tributary to it.
At many interior points merchants only buy
here to replenish their stocks, not to renew
them. Representatives of Eastern houses are
now canvaSsing interior cities as well as San
Francisco. and it Is well for the city TO recog-
| nize this modification in the method of business.
Yes, the business mon Of San Francisco
| should recognize the fact that the prosper

San Francisco, the chief trade center of the
State That city should realize it as its first
! duty and highest interest. to foster the into
rior and rapidly build it up, rather than to
engage in efforts to cripple its trade and
put upon consumers the heavier burden OF
tho farthest market of supply. One mer-
chant, in the interviews referred to, sug-
gests that it is to the interest of the trans
portation companies to ship raw materials
and manufactured goods to San Francisco
at such rates that freight back to interior
points can be secured. Without doubling
the personal honesty of the merchant, one
widely known, we do not hesitate to say
that his proposition is suggestive OF dishon-
esty. 1t simply means that natural interior
trade centers shall be ignored, and thelr
competitive relations denied: first, that the
jobbers at single point may command all
the trade; and second, that the carrier may
speculate upon the driven necessity of the
consumer. In any event, whatever the
1" combination referred to means, and
whatever plans it proposes to present the
merchants of the interior are interested in
it to the extent of holding themselves in
! readiness to resist it.
