A STRONG PULL NEEDED.

The San Francisco Bulletin is of the
opinion that it only requires small effort
on the part of the masses to free both the
great political parties from the domination
of the bosses, and thus liberalize both
organizations. This remark is the sequence
of heightened consideration of the necessi-
~ for political reorganization, since the
people within parties have been pretty
well shorn of power by the machinery
which is operated by the boss element.
The error of our contemporary is found in
the assumption that small effort" by
the many will bring about the desired re-
suit, and make party clubs, conventions
and conferences more truly representative
of the will of the voting element. Instead
of small effort" being needed, it is a
mighty one, a continued one that is neces-
sary; one backed by stern purpose and
untiinching courage, and devotion to the
principles of fair-dealing. 1t is all wrong
to dream of political regeneration of party
by any thing short of a drastic remedy. A
sporadic effort to manifest popular will
within party lines may give, as a result,
an apparent reform, but not permanent
one. The only thing that will reform the
boss out of party is constant, untiring and
determined work by the voters in the ward
club and primary organizations. Some
years of such effort will tell, but nothing
short of it.

Controller Dunn.

san 1TdlclScO GOSI.i
Controller Dunn has been so active in de-
tecting the delinquencies OF other officials,
and enlightening them as to what the law
requires of them, that he has come to be
popularity regarded as the Watchdog of the
administration, and a smarter lawyer than
, most of those who follow the law as pro-
| tession. General surprise has been caused,
therefore, by the revelations made concern
| ing his actions by the Post during the week.
We have not the slightest doubt of the in
| tegrity of Mr.. Dunn, but there can be no
question that he is neither so sharp nor so
| careful az official as has been supposed. 1t
is clear AT but for the Controllers negli-
gence, Ci,-rk of the Supreme Court Nc
Carthy would not have been able to rob
| right and left and get safely off to Homo
| lulu with what remained of the plumber
| The first settlement which the Controller
had with Mccarthy should have taught MIN
| to be waichful. The Clerk then was more
than s. 100 behind in his fee account Sub
sequen;ly Mccarthy paid this money in,
and was permitted to file supplemental
report, on the excuse that he had found the
money mislaid in a drawer-an excuse
known to be false. The money was made
| UP by subscription in the office. The Con-
troller was thus made aware of the
character of the man, and il was plainly
! his duty TO hold him thereafter to strict
| account. Yet Mr.. Dunn, with care
| lessncss hard TO understand considering
the circumstances, failed even to in
sist upon having the annual settlement
with Mccarthy required by law. 1t is
| now known that he knew long time be-
fore the Clerk bolted to Honolulu that he
was delinquent. Ii Mr.. Dunn had caused
Mccarthy arrest, as he should have done,
the State and her creditors would not have
been defrauded to the exten. that they have
been, and the thief would have been in Jail
instead of enjoying himself in the tropics.
| As 1t IS. the State will be the loser of some
$3.50, for the taxpayers will no doubt have
| the pleasure of paying for the Controllers
neglect of duty. Relief bills will of course,
be introduced before the next Legislature,
and when it Is shown that the creditors
losses were as much due to Mr.. Dunn's
negligence as to McCarthy's dishonesty,
they will, in all probability, be passed.
The Post has also found it necessary to
call the attention of the Attorney General
and the public to the fact that Controller
Dunn was drawing warrants on the school
fund, in clear defiance of the Codes and the
Constitution. We cannot understand why
Mr.. Dunn should imperil his good name by
paying money out illegally, but he has
done so. We repeat that we do not doubt
his honesty, but his course in this matter
has been in the line of dangerous break
ing down of legal guards around the treas
ury
Controller Dunn should more thoroughly
inform himself of the laws of the State
and particularly those bearing upon his |
own immediate duties. His want of ac-
quaintance with this very necessary knowl- |
edge has brought him into grave trouble |
and inflicted serious loss upon the State.

Francisco Journals are i'll informed, and that
another proof is added to the mountain of
evidence that the people of the coast coun-
ties have not risen to due appreciation
of the productive capacity of interior
California. The truth is, that oranges
ripening about Newcastle were marketed /
in some cases as early as Thanksgiving \
day; that on New Years day people in !
Iowa. Illinois and the West generally
were enabled to grace their holiday tables
with ripe oranges from central and north
ern California. The Riverside Press names
the months of March, April and May
when the southern California citrus fruits
have "full swing" of the markets. We
| of northern California name the three
months Immediately preceding those dates,
when products of our orange industry
have full swing" and the proof Of the
claim will be made coed by the splendid
exhibition to open in this city this even
ing. There is no gainsaying a fact We
not only have "the pudding" but we in
vite the people of she State to come and
test its quality by seeing and eating Now,
as to the question of markets, it ought to
be apparent that there is 2 harmony in
the facts, that is admirable. The claims
of northern and southern California being
compared, it will be seen that we are out
of the way with our fruits before those OF
our southern friends come on Fruit out
of season most readily finds a market, Of
course. For what we grow now or will
, for some time to come, there is and will
continue to be market, for the reasons
I, stated. Six months in the year, therefore
northern and southern California can sup
ply citrus fruits, and this period is divided
: into sections, and dates of maturity, between
which there is, at least at the present
no competition. That the establishment o
our San Francisco contemporary may b.
augmented we beg to call its attention tt
another fact, of which it is also probably
ready to confess its want of knowledge
5 that it has long been known, and is a ia
miliar fact to every fruit dealer, that tn,
apricot in central and northern Californi:
natures so much earlier than the aprico
on the central and northern coast, ant
even further south, that we ship to San
Francisco and like markets, as well as t,
the East, and exhaust our supply befor
the regions local to the metropolis sent
the apricot to market at all And SO it is
as to that fruit; that just as our supply i
exhausted that of our near neighbors il
the coast counties is ready for our con
sumption, and we buy from source ant
bring here the same kind of article o
, which we just before possessed the entir
supply and were selling to that locality
These are some of the peculiar features o
California, which nature lavishly bestowed
, when decreeing that over all other place
under its Makers footstool, the Colder
State should stand FORTH in fact, NOR,
golden and more famed, among all people
, | and nations.

with whom success is the synonym OF

the report says: at is our conviction that
