II is a notable confession of eakness
on the part OF our Republican friends
in this city that they have put off the
holding of their primaries and conven-
ton to the very eve of the election. They
claim, and loudly claim, that the battle
is theirs before it is fought. In the last
election they carried all the general
offices with the exception of Mayor,
and they assert that he is the choice
of large part OF the Republican party
who preferred him to the nominee of
their own party. The same assertion is
heard in regard to many OF the Demo
cratic Councilman. In spite of SO much
vaporing and OF SO loud bloviating, it is
very significant that they do not intend to
permit of any fight over their nominees or
any discussion of their platform. This
may be great generalship. On the sup
position that their cause is weak and
forces small, it is great strategy. But it
is not what we were led to expect from
their boasting.

THERE is certainly no pleasure to any
one in the fact that the destructive vine
disease has not spared in its ravages any
county of the Golden State. We would
much prefer to publish the statement
that so fair county as Fresno is free OF
the scourge, than it is to chronicle the
allegation that the dread disease is
among her vines. The truth, however,
is what newspaper wants; it is what
the public demands at its hands. 1t is,
therefore, with no feeling of satisfaction
that we publish to.dav letter from q
we'll known citizen OF this section which
goes to prove that, to smaller
or larger extent, the disease is in the
Fresno vineyards. We heartily join ir
the hope of the writer OF the communi
cation referred to that the climate Of
other surroundings OF fair Fresno's vine
yard may work in the direction of check
ing the spread OF this disease, and tina
means may speedily be devised to rio
the whole state of an enemy SO destruct
i've to her prosperity.

Joe Emmet at the Grand.

Joe Emmet, the same light-hearted
merry "Fritz," appeared at the Grand
last night. Just as young and sweet Of
voice as ever, bubbling up melodiously
like song-memory of the past. There
was vast audience assembled, and one
quite as responsive as ever honored
Fritz" by its applause. Its people
recognized at once that magnetic
influence that in this actor all seem to
have agreed to worship. What a
striking and remarkable charac.
ter is Emmett at anv rate.
How marked his individuality, and
how lasting his hold upon the public. II
he has aged any it was not apparent last
evening, nor has he deteriorated any in
voice, or lost any of the elasticity of
step. He sang and danced just as Of
old, carrying his audience to that pitch
that his every song was redemanded.
Mr.. Emmett presented the original Fritz,
the best and most successful of all his
plays, and it may be said that those who
saw him last evening saw him at his
best.
His supporting company was very
good, some one or two of its individuals
demanding special mention. Cincinnati

SACRAMENTO, February GA large au-
dience gathered in the Assembly cham
ber this afternoon to witness the Bartlett
memorial exercises. The First Artillery
Band played the Funeral March imme-
diately upon the assemblage being called
to order by Speaker Howe. The Senate,
headed by the relatives of the late Gov
ernor, and President White, entered in
body and took seats around the room,
after which the roll call of both Houses
was ordered. Rev. A. G. Bane, Chaplain
of the Senate, invoked the confirmation
of the Almighty upon the proceedings.
Colonel John P. Irish delivered the ora
ton. "The preosnt proceedings" he
said, care fitting supplement to count
less private expressions of sympathy ex-
pressed for California in her sorrow. In
our free society the man is great who
does his duty with clean hands.
Washington Bartlett was such man."
The speaker then referred to the late
Governors. early life. Following the
intelligent habits of his ancestors, he
early devised ways Of self-support. Gov
ernor Bartlett was the owner of a news
paper in Florida before he was bearded,
and at the age of % was elected State
Printer of Florida. He then came to
California and brought his newspaper
with him, which he reestablished in the
new country. The familiar history OF
Washington Bartlett's political career up
| to his election as Governor and subse-
quent demise was referred to in detail.
His success was attributed to his fidelity
to the people. He resorted to no trick
to catch the popular vote. The address
was ordered spread upon the journals of
both Houses. Chaplain Early delivered
the benediction and an adjournment was

half price; lumber is one-third cheaper
than it was year ago; mechanics of all
classes are willing to work for much
lower wages than were current in the
boom excitement. The net result is that
an edifice car be erected for between
one-third and one-half less than
it would have cost a year
ago. Far-seeing men know this,
and take advantage of the favorable
circumstances to save large sums Of
money and get better building. The
probabilities are extreme that by the
time this building is put up there will be
brisk demand for the stores and Offices
it contains. Now is emphatically the
time to build a dwelling or business

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY I, 1889.

CONGRESSMAN BRECKENRIDGE, of Ar
kansas, will do a very foolish thin g
should he be forced by false sentiment
to resign his seat in the House of Repre-
sentatives in order to free his skirts Of
the blood of Clayton, whose foul murder
is deep and damnable stain on the
hands of those who committed so out
rageous crime. But does anyone who
knows anything of Mr.. Breckenridge
suppose that his withers are at all wrung
by any participation, near or remote,
direct or indirect, in the diabolical deed |?
To be sure, had Clayton lived and con-
tested the seat held by Breckenridge, the
contestant would have been seated
and the Democratic member would
have lost his seat-in all probability.
There will be in the Fifty.frst Congress
. small Republican majority. 1t will
not be safe working majority, and
there will be strong desire to increase
it's efficiency. We say this because of
the history of the Republican party in
the years just following the war. All
there was necessary to throw out Dem
ocrat, neck and crop, was for his COM
petitor to set up claim of fraud, intimi-
dation, or what not. 1t was mere for
mality. The same game is likely to be
played in the next session of Congress but
despite the fact that Mr.. Breckinridge's
fate was all but sealed beforehand, no
one whose opinion is worth considering
will suspect for half minute that he, by
a hint or wink, is an accessory tc the
murder OF his political rival.

READERS of the HERALD are familiar
with the contest for a seat in the next
Congress between Gen. Tom Clunie and
Timothy Guy Phelps in the Fifth District
of California. When the count was
finished Clunie was ahead by rather
slender plurality. His political op-
ponents set to work to count him out oi
his seat. A recount was made, and the
gallant Generals plurality was reduced
by about one half, but ne was still in the
lead. Now, it is a matter perfectly
understood in both the national parties
that the 6. o. p. is not satisfied with the
complexion of the Lower House
in the National Legislature. The
majority is too utterly small
to allow of much "funny business" II
would be most desirable to enlarge that
majority to the number of an easy work
ing one. Therefore it was alleged that
there had been fraud committed oi
which Clunie was the beneficiary, not
only in the polling of the vote and the
first counting of it, but that even the
second count was not fairly made.
Clunie is nothing if not fair. He al
once, and on the solicitation of Mr..
Phelps and bis friends, entered with an
agreement to stand third count of the
votes, the express stipulation being
made by his opponent that this
result was to be accepted as
final, and that no appeal of any
sort was to be made from it. The manipu.
lstors of the party of all morals most as.
suredly thought that they would be able
n some way to pare off a vote here and
one there from the Democratic candidate
80 as to bring the venerable and fossil.
lied sage of San Mateo one or two votes
ahead. But no sort of finesse was suf-
ficient to accomplish the desired result.
In spite of all the chicanery practicable
Clunie still came in winner by the
amount Of nine votes. In vie W of the
compact between the two principals
to this interesting contest, the
public were led to believe that
here was an end to it. But this is not
to be. That ancient humbug of the Red
wood fats is not to be disposed OF 80
easily. Where the only bond to hold
him by is his own word, the security is
worth but little. This Republican Guy
will not abide by his own agreement. !.
To be sure he is not ont in his own name
with the proclamation that he will con-
test Clunie's seat mausre his promise
to quit. But the San Francisco Chronicle
gives tongue to Phelps hypocrisy in an
editorial which claims that the promise
made binds only Phelps, but cannot bind
the &. o. p., whose rights are at stake in
the matter. Now, of course, that is all
the veriest subterfuge and hypocrisy
The Republican party has no standing
before the court where this contest must
be made.' No political party has any legal
existence in Congress. There is no
plaintiff to appear and contest the seat,
excepting Timothy Guy Phelps. He may,
a course, come forward and set up a
whining plea that his party will not per-
init him to keep his word; that the party
bosses insist on his making an infamous
fiar Of himself. 1t will all the same
brand the antiquated, antediluvian
granger of the bay swamps as most
uumanly and mendacious, false and
cowardly rascal.
