without involving the lives of scores of
people against whom he had no cause of
complaint. If the attempt was simply the
act of 4 bastard who desired to wit
ness human suffering, or to rob the passen-
gers, then some spot would have been
chosen where the displacement of the
track would have been less likely to be
discovered in time to prevent the derail-
ment Of the train, and where the liability
of interruption or detection would have
been less. Yet the most tenable theory is
that the attempt was the work of mis-
creants with scheme TO rob the passengers
and the express car. In the interests of
humanity it is essential that every effort
should be made to apprehend the crimi-
mails and secure their adequate punish
ment. 1t is likely that there We're two or
more Tascals concerned in the affair, and
voluntarily or unwittingly one of these
may disclose the truth Rewards always
prove strong temptations, and often in
duce confederates to break with each other
and an accomplice to reveal the principals.
The people, even, more than the railroad
company, which has already offered a
reward, are interested in the detection
of such criminals, and hence it is proper
for the State to recognize by offered re-
wards the necessity of unearthing, if posi-
bic, the perpetrator of the attempt to kill
or wound train-load Of travellers.

JUVENILE REFoRMAToRIEs.

A subject that will certainly come before
the Legislature next month will be the
establishment of a reformatory for juvenile
offenders. Now let legislators take in the
intervening month steps to inform them
selves upon the subject, in the light Of
most recent experience. They will find
that the true reformatory is not prison :;
that 1t does not confirm the tyro in crime
by uniforming him and exhibiting him to
all the world as a criminal. They will
find that we want no large expensive in
stitution.
A central station for reception Of those
committed, a few groups of cottages with
independent grounds, and a few strong
walls for apparent incorrigibles-these are
all that will be needed. Here the COM
mitted youths should be gathered and
placed in small groups under as nearly
paternal and maternal care as may be,
until their dispositions, tendencies and
characters can be studied. They should
then, by State agent, be removed to some
distant section, apprenticed to trades or
business, and secured homes, where labor,
education, kindly control and home inhu-
ences will train them to useful lives. Until
they are of age the State should keep as
siduous watch and ward over them, re-
quire weekly reports from them, visit and
correspond with them through its agents,
encourage and aid them, guarantee them
kindly treatment, remove all excuses for
departure into criminal paths, and thus
make them useful men and women.
Where similar systems have been tried
not over three per cent. of failure is
recorded. Where the reformatory prison
system prevails and the badge of disgrace
is affixed, the child held before the world
as an outcast and paraded as one given 10
criminal ways, the whole tendency is to
confirm it in vice and crime. No other
proof is needed of this truth than the ex-
ample of that miserable failure and Grim
inal mandatory, the Industrial School at
San Francisco, which, by the way, since it
is cradle of vice and graduating school
for criminals, the Legislature should forth
with abolish.

WAS the genius who the other day sent
to President-elect Harrison a fine gold
mounted double-barrelled shotgun, la
beled Protection" a wag? Certainly it
was witty turn. But this idea of Civ
ing Presidents-elect or incumbent, gifts
of value is bad. A President of the
United States represents the people; in
his representative character his individu-
atty is absorbed; to give a present to the
representative implies an appeal to the in
dividual. There are exceptions, as where
the gift is without moneyed value, or
where it is a contribution to collection
that will remain to the Government after
the incumbent departs, or where it is
merely expression of qualification over the
success of a policy adopted. But as a rule
no presents ought to go to Executives ex-
cept as agents and representatives of the
state. General Harrison is not the man
TO be placed under obligation to gift
makers, yet the reception of costly pres
ents by one about to become President
is open to doubt as to its propriety.
To a State any contribution for its
museums, its treasury, its libraries or
galleries of art may be properly offered,
but the custom that sanctions an Executive
receiving gifts in his official and retaining
them in his individual capacity is not
commendable, and opens door to danger
and possible vicious results that are OBJ
yious.

On the question of the division of the
State and the sacrifice of an empire for the
sake of new deal in offices, the San Fran
cisco Cal expresses the opinion that the
bill will not be pressed; that with the in
creased representation in the Legislature
and Congress the south end is sure to
have by reason of its rapid growth, that
section will have nothing to complain of
and its people will not be disposed to favor
division with no possible greater benefit
than the political advancement of a few
ambitious men. This view is sensible,
simple and forcible. Let the people of
the south put the question 10 themselves,
p" What have we to gain by taking on the
burdens of Statehood?r The answer must
be, Simply the privilege and obligation
of building new State institutions and
alone maintaining all the machinery of
State Government. Our fields will pro-
duce no more, our orchards bear no more
heavily. our climate be in no wise bettered,
oar earnings made no larger or our general
prosperity be conserved"

EX-EMPREss EUGENIE has formally rec
ognized Victor Jerome, the son of Charles
Bonaparte and Princess Clothilde, as the
Bonapartist successor and the rightful
claimant to the throne of France, if ever
the Imperialists succeed in overthrowing
the thir,l republic 1t is valueless. The
ex-Empress has no power, under the strict
est construction of the ethics of Imperial
ism, to name the line of succession. We
have no idea that the son OF PIon- Plon will
ever come to the throne; but if he does, it
will be by recognition independent of
Eugenie's. The French have never ad-
mitted the wives of their sovereigns to full
participation in Government, and no in
stance is recalled in which they have con-
suited them as to the heirship of the
crown. If Victor ever ascends French
throne it will be because of the recosni-
ton of 1852 of his father as heir to the
throne in case of failure of issue of Napc-
leon Ill.

a DANGEROUS SUGGESTION.

Declaring that the electoral system is
outgrown, theSan Francisco Erdnl;ney saws:
This easy acquieseenee of a checkmated
majority in teehnicaldefeat is something for
Americans to be proud of, but it does not make
the injustice any the less real. This is demo-
cratic republic, and governed by the minority
is not democratic Some day when the country
is more populous than now when some issne
IS at stake more infaming than the tariff to
mems PASSIONS and when some leader is in the
field more ambitious and less scr1lpulous than
Grover Cleveland, the party that wins the votes
OF the people may demand the fruits of victory
Which is absurd. No one who studies
the history of the people believes for one
moment that any such thing will come
to pass. And the reason for it is that the
means of peaceful revolution are easier,
and people will not take by force that
they can have by asking. If popular
majority should desire to seize upon the
seat of authority, it will at be once con-
fronted with the truth that it has the power
also to peacefully take by amendment of
the system.
Butasour contemporary advises that some
other method should take the place of the
electoral system, it means that it should be
supplanted by the popular majority. That
IN turn means that the great centers of
population shall rule the whole country.
and to that the American people will
never submit. The theory of our system,
and forthe perpetual maintenance of which
we are pledged, is that the choosing of
the Chief Executive shall be determined
as between States as sovereign units
of the Federal Union. When the rule
of the popular majority is substituted,
State lines might as well be abolished ard
the national supplant the State Legisla-
ture. Under the direct majority system
the tendency to corruption in cities would
be conserved and strengthened; there
would come upon parties in such commun-
tiles terrible strain to carry every vote,
since single one might determine the re-
suit whereas in voting for electors the
people know that great or a small major
ity for these representatives cannot affect
the general result, and thus was reason
advanced on the adoption of the electoral
system in its favor.
1t is amazing that Democratic organ
should propose, as does the Eraainer, a
plan destructive of the chief cardinal prin-
ciple of its party. The ends that the
fathers desired to attain in establishing
the electoral system were to preserve
State integrity of action, that there might
not be State jealousy in selecting the exec
utive, and second to prevent populous
communities, which always contain the
larger percentage of the undesirable classes,
from determining who should preside over
the destinies of the nation. The adoption
of any system that will defeat these ends
must plunge the country into turmoil and
doubt, and set up rule at once unrep-
resentative and dangerous because it would
place responsibility not on the people of
all the States and the districts thereof, but

THIRD PARTY FOLLY.
Comment Upon the Prchibitionists of tn,
State of Nrw VorL

state OF New York.
The New York Independent has the fol-
lowing to say upon the part the third
party took in the recent election:
The third party cut sorry figure in the
campaign Just closed. Powerless to make,
it has marred what others have made. 1t
boasts loudly of an increase over the vote
of four years ago; but its tide has ebbed
since the flood of 1886, and never was its
feebleness as an instrument for positive
achievement more marked than in the re-
cent elections. As an infant has power to
Grag down and destroy a costly vase, so
the third party in the districts where the
rum Democracy and the temperance Re
publicans were closely matched, has been
able to defeat temperance candidates and
elect saloon men. With a wiekedness
rarely paralleled in politics, they have
fought the cause of local option and in
creased restriction in New Jersey, and done
what they could to throw the Legislature
into the hands of the rum Democrats.
While Republican candidates were
pledged to uphold the local option
high license law, the Democratic
candidates were pledged to repeal it.
In the face of this peril the third
party trotted out their own candidates
with sublime disregard of results. The
issue was quite as sharply defined in
New York, where Warner Miller took the
stump in behalf of churches and decency
against the salocn, and the third party, to
its lasting shame, treated the brave cham
pion of temperance as though, in their
estimation, he was on no higher plane
than the champion of the saloons. To
the credit of thousands hitherto indenti-
tied with the third party, they voted for
Warner Miller as Governor of New York,
also for the Republican ticket in New
Jersey, leaving the third party decidedly
weaker than it was in 1886 and 1887. We
shall give some attention to the returns
when they are gathered in, and show how
earnest Temperance people repudiated its
mischieyous policy. Nothing more clearly
| indicates the doom of the party than the
frantic appeal of the Voice for signatures
TO the following pledge:
until the liquor question is rightly
settled, will never vote for man for a
State or national Office who is not Pro-
hibitionist, or who has been put in nom
ination by party who does not believe in
prohibition"
Desperate fear of desertion must have
inspired this foolish pledge.

THE FIVE PER CENT. CLAIM.

The Five Per Cent. Bill" which has
passed the Senate, is upon the House cal
endar and may be reached before the ex-
piration of the Congressional life. But,
say the dispatches, it will be antagonized
by Representatives of States that have
never received five per cent. of the sales of
public lands. California is deeply inter-
ested in the passage of the bill. 1t pro-
poses that the Federal Government shall
pay to this State, with others, five per cent.
of the net proceeds of the sales of public
lands of the United States within the
bounds of California subsequent to the ad-
mission of the State to the Union. 1t is
argued that as California came into the
Union without expression of her claim for
five per cent, she waived and abandoned
1t, and slept upon her right to prefer it.
A bill to grant the per cent. to the other
eighteen public land States was introduced
many years ago, and California was
omitted from the list for the reason stated.
Senator Farley thereupon introduced a
bill to include this State and to have the
grant date back to the admission of Cali
fornia into the Union. The Legislature of
California repeatedly sustained the appeal
by memorials upon the subject addressed
to Congress. Representatives Berry, Hen
ley, Senator Stanford and the present
Representatives, and probably others pre-
ceding them pushed the claim and kept
the bill alive preferring it, until finally its
passage in the Senate was accomplished.
The total cash sales of all public lands
in California up to June 80, 1885, to which
the last report to the State upon this sub
ject brings up the statistics, amounted to a
sum ) per cent. of which would be S45S,-
4S4 so. Alabama, Mississippi and Mis-
souri, have been paid and per cent.
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio 8 per cent, and
all the Others per cent, California alone
receiving nothing. Common justice de-
mauds that our claim should now be al
lowed, and nearly 5000 000-to say moth
ing of iaterest accumulated upon it-now
due us be transferred to the State from
the Federal treasury. To the other public
land States upwards of SS,000,000 have
been paid over upon like grounds. 1t is a
mere teehnicality that o5structs Califor-
MAS claim. The argument that this State
waived reclaim by not preferring it when
admitted to the Union is not sound, be-
cause other States that have received the
percentage did not exact the condition on
admission. Moreover, California was adj
mitted in September, 1850, whereas the
public-land laws were not extended to her
territory until March, 1853, and no sales
of public lands were made or reported
prior to July /, 1857: thereupon the State
at once preferred her claim. Under these
circumstances it is unfair TO claim her de-
fault.
