The appointment of a Senator 10
succeed General John #. Miller' ue-
ceased, las been made. Governor
stoneman has appointed George
Hearst to that exalted position. Ihls
appointment appe ars to give nhlVer-
sal satisfaction TO Democrats, ane
Republicans will approve the action
al Tho Governor. Mr.. Hearst was
the unanimous choice Of the leglsla-
tive caucus OF the Democratic party
for United States Senator, at the ses-
sion Of lss4-b, when LELAND Stanford
was elected, the Republicans having
n majority OF the electing body.
Thus Governor Stoneman has the
best possible endorsement oil ms
choice. Mr.. Hearst is an old resi-
dent OF this coast. AS miner IN
Nevada, a heavy farmer and ranchero
in San Luis Obispo county Callfor-
mia, a leading business man oil san
Francisco, he has grown up with the
Pacific slope and become part oi
its history. He is man oil large
wealth, of broad, intelligent views,
OF the very best business sagacity'
and thorough gentleman in every
sense of the word. lie is one OF the
most popular men in California
among all classes, and deservedly So
Mr.. Hearst is one Of the best known
men in the State. As a citizen, ms
genial manners and good nature have
always secured him hosts OF friends
wherever he has resided. We think
Mr.. Hearst during his term will be
found an extremely useful Senator.
His great knowledge of affairs and
business ability will give him prac-
tical advantage that will no doubt
greatly rebound to the benefit OF the
!. whole coast. We would have pre-
ferred an u. S. Senator from South
ern California, but If this could not
be. we believe the next best thing has
been done for the whole State in the
appointing ent of Mr.. Hearst.

One Effect of the Low
Rates.
GOODS SHIPPED TO THE WEST
Eastern Trade With California
Nearly Doubled by Reason
of the Low Rates.

lspeciGlto the Herald bv the Associated Press.
CHicAeo, March ga Chicago firm
that deals extensively in California sal
mon, fruit and other products. has taken
advantage of the cut in rates to send to
California some thirty carloads of tin
plate, TO be used by the canneries there.
Usually this plate comes in sailing ves-
sells from Liverpool around Cape Horn
to the Pacific Coaat. A big hardware
house said that they had shipped more
iron Of every description TO California
and Oregon sincs March ist than over
h, fore; in fact their business has doubled
from March ist to March Goth. Rates
on iron had been cut about sixty per
cent, and while California and Oregon
merchants were taking advantage OF
this, there was also q better feeling In
trade and this matter was one Of the rea-
sons of the great increase in the western
trade. Manufacturers of iron pipe and
machinery used in mines were having a
great trade with California and Oregon,
and, IN fact, the iron trade with the far
west was best in every department and
branch, due, in the main, OF course, to
The preat reductions made in rates.

The new YORK stock Market.
NEW YORK, March 23.-Government
bonds steady. In stocks the news of a
practical settlement Of the long existing
troubles between the leading coal roads
was somewhat vague, and except among
insiders was treated as a device TO sell
stocks This theory was openly advo-
Gated during a considerable portion Of
the day. Hence the market, which
opened strong for coal stocks, soon be-
came decidedly weak, and with only oo.
casional Interruptions continued weak
and declining all day. Early weakness
in the general list was due to unfagor-
able reports regarding the strike in the
southwest, and this matter is daily as.
suming importance in the minds of OPP
era tors. Near all Of the day was all OF
an adverse character and materially aided
in the decline that took place. Opening
prices generally were about the best OF
the day, and closing prices for ceal stocks
were the lowest of the day, and for the
rest of the list generally within 4 to per
cent Of bottom figures. closing heavy.

ONE of the queer developments OF
the cut rates is given by our dispatches
to-day. Chicago has sent to us thirty
carloads of tin plate to be used in
making cans for the fruit in our can
neries, in the canning season. Usu-
ally, we are told, this pla'e has come
to this coast in sailing vessels around
Cape Horn from Liverpool. We are
also informed to-day that the ship
ments of iron from Chicago to this
coast more than doubled in amount
between the LIST and Goth of March.
There is no doubt that many kinds OF
trade have been greatly stimulated by
the cut rates, while many others, as
we have before shown, have been
disordered and unsettled by the dis
turbance of rates. The anomaly of
corn being sent to California from the
Missouri and Mississippi valleys, is
referred to in detail in our local
columns. Truly, this is a year of
surprises all round, and in no partic-
ular more than with reference to the
railroad war of rates.

GLADSTONE appears to be getting
into deep water in his home rule
scheme, and it appears doubtful il the
government will hold together on the
proposition, but there can be no re-
traction. Revolutions never go
backward" and Ireland will have
home rule, whether Gladstone's pres
ent scheme prevails or not. 1t does
not appear that Gladstone's plan alb
solutely suits anybody bat himself,
neither has he made the concession
willingly or gracefully. But no pre-
mier OF England can ever prevent the
contamination of some measure OF
home rule for the Irish people, and
that before the present agitation ends.

universally esteemed by California
Democrats than George Hearst. He
has given the party an organ at a tre-
mendous personal outlay, and has
been lavish OF his time and his means
to advance the interests Of the Democ-
racy. He has troops of friends who
would look upon his nomination as a
wise stroke of statesmanship and
party policy. In addition to these
strong incentives, the Governor could
point TO the fact that he was the
choice OF the party for United States
Senator in the legislative caucus year
ago and he could say TO those who
were enthusiastically in his favor at
| that time and who are espousing the
cause of another now. "You offered
him the shadow; surely you cannot
object 10 my accepting your hint, and
giving him the substance now that
circumstances have placed it in my
power to carry out your directions. "
Nor is this mode Of reasoning 80 easi-
| ly combatted. The act of last Win
ter's caucus in nominating George
Hearst for Senator was the highest
official declaration which the party,
under the circumstances, could make
Of its will, and showed that he stood
foremost amongst it's leaders for
Senatorial preferment. Thus the
action of Governor Stoneman in man,
ing Mr. Hearst would be pre-endorsed
by n recognized organ of official ac-
ton OF the party itself; and none
could take him seriously to task for
carrying out that significant endorse
ment. We are not n prophet, nor the
son of prophet; but We do not hesi-
tate to forecast this nomination as the
one that will be made.
[The above discussion of the ap-
pointment of u. $. Senator was in
type before the news was received OF
the appointment Of Mr.. George

No Boon That Science Has
Conferred

Has been fraught with greater blessings
than that which has accrued to the in-
habitants of malarial ridden portions of
the United States and the tropics from
the use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
The experience of many years has but
too clearly demonstrated the inetlicieney
of quiniue and other drugs to eflectually
combat the progress Of intermittent,
congestive and bilious remittent fevers,
while on the other hand, it has been no
less clearly shown that the use Of the
Bitters, a medicine congenial to the frail.
est constitution, and derived from pure.
ly botanic sources, affords reliable
safeguard against malarial disease, and
arrests it when developed. For disorders
Of the stomach, liver and bowels, for
general debility and renal inactivity, ii
is also an efficient remedy, Appetite
and sleep are improved by it, it expels
rheumatic humors from the blood, and
enriches a circulation impoverished by
mal-assimilation.

A coon deal is being written in n
certain class Of society papers in re-
gard to the reported engagement OF
two New York young ladies to two
scons OF the British nobility-the
Duke of Portland and the Earl
Cairns. The last OF these men is
said to be man OF worthless per-
sonal character. The other, what
ever he may be, is certainly no better
because of the rank conferred on him
by the accident of birth, and the
senseless customs handed down to
England from II barbarous age. 1t is
true there are n great many toadies in
this country, but why such an event
as the one under consideration should
attract any attention among sensible
people is past finding out. Either of
the above referred-to young ladies
would do herself more credit, and
probably live much happier m ar
ried life, were she to wed young
man of her own nation. No earl or
duke has any natural superiority over
the American citizen. The earl or
duke is a subject; the American is a
sovereign king. He owes allegi-
ance to no man or woman on earth.
His only duty is TO support the con
stitutions OF the Government and
State of which he, himself, is a joint
sovereign. He has no rulers. He
wears no crown, for where all are
kings crowns would be meaningless.
And the country he helps govern is
prouder and grander one than
was ever ruled by the crowned mon
arch of any earl or duke. In spite
of all this, however, there are multi
tudes of toadying males and silly
women who become insane over the
very name OF the old world, nonsens-
ical institution of so-called rank, and
make ninnies of themselves over any
OF its representatives who may happen
to appear. AS brains and sense de-
velop, this species of insanity may be
expected to decrease, as il is certainly
doing in England and other coun-
tries of Europe, and to finally disap-
pear altogether. The husbands of the
two New York ladies spoken OF may,
however, prove as good as any others,
il they behave themselves as well.
