ton of the people during the early period
of the republic, was the subject of subsi.
dies to ocean commerce. Nevertheless, the
Government gave the New England fish
cries drawback on the very important
commodity of salt, and this operated as a
bounty. 1t was urged that these fisheries
were the nurseries OF the navy: that a
navy was essential to the protection OF
American commerce; and that the APP
premiership in the fishing vessels would
produce the able-bodied seamen and brave
hearts which made navy formidable and
invincible. An analysis of the salt bounty
will result in the conviction that it was a
subsidy TO promote and aid the fisheries.
The United States were without a navy
during the administration Of Washington.
The first Secretary of the Navy was ap-
pointed by President John Adams, in the
second year OF his administration. But
the New England fisheries were all the
time encouraged and aided, although the
term applied was not subsidy Still,

Unjust Taxation,

1t is unjust to tax the stomach with bur-
dens that it cannot bear. Many silly peo-
pie thus tyrannize that faithful servitor
until it rebels and Furnishes them as they
deserve. Dyspepsia is usually the child OF
gastronomic folly, but whether this or the
natural associate of inherent feebleness
from childhood, it is surely and pleasantly
remediable with Hostetters Stomach Bit
tiers, the finest and most highly sanctioned
gastric tonic in existence. AS a result of
the tone impaired to the stomach, and the
increased activity of is digestive and as
similative action, insured by the persistent
use of this benign invigorant, general
stamina is augmented, the nerves strength
ened and trsnquilized, and tendency to
insomnia and hypochondriasis defeated.
Biliousness chills and fever, rheumatism
and kidney troubles are conquered by this
admirable medicine.

CALIFORNIA ON WHEELS
sere WI HBe No Separate Southern Cali
fornia Exhibit

lLos Angeles Times, October 7th.l
We have received circular addressed to
California publishers from the California
State Board of Trade. containing letter
addressed to the Board by w. r.. Mills,
Chairman of the Committee on Publica-
ton, which contains very large infusion
of good sense. The object is to announce
the policy of the distribution of publica.
tons during the second campaign of Cali.
fornia on Wheels"
Or. Mills states that, in order to secure
perfectly reliable representations concern
ing any county or district, the matter dis
trlbuted must be in pamphlet or newspaper
publications, and published in the district.
If pamphlet 1t must receive the approval
of the local Board of Trade. Special edi-
tons published in distant localities from
the district to which they relate will not be
distributed from the car. On the subject of
these special editions, as contrasted with
local papers, Mr.. Mills has the following
very truthful remarks, which are specially
commended to our advertising citizens
The OBJECT of these rules is chiefly to advertise
any given locality through the medium of its
local press, and the good of this WILL l thick,
be perceived by the Journalists of this State. In
the nrst place, representations relating to any
county Will receive greater credence at the
hands of strangers if published in the local pa
pers OF the county, because it will be obvious
that the matter they contain has passed through
the regular editions of the papers, and has
therefore, passed under the observation of the
communities to which the matter relates, and
thereby has received the Endorsement of the
people best qualified to judge of the reliability
of their Statements. Papers published at dis
tant places issuing special editions relating to
any locality. do not hold the same relation of
accountability for the statements they make
which attach to the local press of the locality
treated Of Special editions of papers published
regularly In any locality. and sustained and
patronized by the community, go forth more
nearly the expression of the community itself
than special editions of papers published at
distant places. What is desirable above all
things IS that the representations shall be truth
full, reliable and unexaggerated, and that the
community to which they relate shall be as
nearly as possible responsible for all representa-
tons made. Each locality has right to be
heard, and to make such representations as it
believes itself to be entitled to make. We can
rely on the local press of the State to represent
fully the advantages of the locality in which
they are published.
Special holiday editions of papers published
in San Francisco. Sacramento, Stockton San
JOSE Oakland, San Bernardino and Los Angeles,
relating to California at large, will be pur-
chased and distributed from the cars
1t is now understood that Los Angeles
will work in unison with California on
Wheels" and that no separate expeditions
for the purpose of advertising this section
will be sent out.

CANADIAN RAILROADS,
Favors Granted by the United States
Government.

Government.
James O'Meara in the Overland Montbly.l
The Canadian Pacific Railroad is en-
couraged and patronized now by many OF
the people of the United States. States
Yield to 1t all that is required, the General
Government aids it by inaction. The road
IS subsiSting upon the traffic of the United
States. From the accretions of this traffic
British steamships will be built. to lure
and to wrest from the shipping of the
United States the rich commerce of the
Atlantic and the monopoly of the CARRYING
trade OF the Pacific. Dominion legislation
and British capital and Imperial subsidies
are to the backing of this vast ocean com
merce. In less than thirty years the peo-
pie OF the United States, who received the
English sparrow as a generous gift, and
have found the bird to be a pest, will un-
questionably learn that, in admitting the
Canadian Pacific Railroad to the adj
vantages ard privileges it now enjoys.
they have simply repeated the folly of the
admission of the English sparrow.
With such manifest inequality of oper-
ating conditions, it is not possible for the
American roads or the American steam
ship lines TO compete with or contend
against the Canadian road and the British
steamships. The interstate commerce law
forbids the American roads to "pool.n or
arrange among themselves the means by
which TO make successful contention and
competition with the Canadian road and
the State taxation to which the American
roads are subject, while the Canadian road
is permitted free course untaxed, operates
as an additional advantage to the latter.
Practically, it is as though the American
Government bound the arms of the Ameri-
can roads, and notonly allowed free license
to the Canadian road on American soil,
but besides furnished it all the assistance
required by it short of subsidy-which the
Dominion plentifully supplies.

Senator Stanford

The central portion of Northern Califor-
MIA is expressing its appreciation of Senator
Leland Stanford and wife in manner that
must be very gratifying TO those noble phi
lanthropists. The demonstrations in their
favor do not SAVIOR of politics or tosdyism
to wealth. but genuine gratitude is being
expressed for their unheard-of liberality in
the cause of education. 1t is an ante
mortem expression of what the people
think of the noble deeds the Senator and
his wife are performing in the interests of
the rising generation.
Usually the benefactor dies before his
acts are appreciated. Future generations
always accord due praise, but in Senator
Stanfords case he already begins to see
that the human family possess gratitude
even to the living. The ovations extended
in the northern part of the State are being
supplemented further SOUTH A monument
is to be erected at San Jose which will fitly
honor the founders of the Leland Stanford
Jr. University. The whole State should
unite in doing honor to the venerable
couple, for no one ever deserved it more

ability. He was one of the best-posted
men in public life, and was admirably
equipped for almost any position in the
gift of the people, yet his reputation for
humor overshadowed his real greatness it
gave him popularity, but it was bar to
preferment. When man get the reputa-
ton of being funny" it is hard TO con-
vince the public that he is at any time
serious. For this reason Mr.. Cox never
rose while in Congress to the Speakership.
Thomas Corwin was one of the ablest
men in his day and might have been Pres
ident bu. for his reputation for wit. He
frequently said that this operated power
fully against him when he was Senator
and Cabinet Minister, and, acting on his
advice. Mr.. Garfield, when rising young
man, repressed his tendency to humor in
public speaking and appealed to his hear
ers' intelligence instead of their sensibil-
tiles.
Wit is the shortest way to public favor,
but success gained in this way is often
subject to undesirable Limitations. There
is no inherent reason in this, but it has
proved so in actual experience. Never
theless, the country could not have spared
the wit of Tom Marshall, Corwin, Cox
and the rest of the humorous statesmen.
Their loss of preferment has been in some
respects public Philadelphia In

THE authorities of San Francisco are
again displaying considerable activity in
the arrest of the vendors of lottery tickets.
In no instance have they failed TO convict.
1t is very different in the Capital City of
the State. Here, while lottery advertise
nents can be seen at nearly every step.
and tickets can be purchased with no more
difficulty than is encountered in procuring
pound of sugar, the authorities are OBJ
liyiOus of the fact, and the idea of the law
being violated by lotterp vendors never
enters their heads. Even our Grand Juries
are called and sit and deliberate and are
dissolved, and never discover by the power
Of their secret inquisition that the law is
openly, defantly and shamefully violated
hourly in this matter of the sale of lottery
tickets. 1t is a strange and pulling time
in which we live.

From the Del Monte Waye1
In the past, one OF the most influential
social and political organizations in the

aud powerful membership, it did much to-
ward bringing victory to the Republican
flag. Out of it has grown new club.
strong offspring of worthy progenitor, the
Union League Club. The club rooms are
at the old headquarters, 322 Geary street.
The membership is already large and the
committees, consisting of the very best
men in the Republican party, will act dur
ing the year. The officers of the Dirigo
were, with few exceptions, e-elected ::
Colonel W. H. Chamberlain will continue
President; Colonel E. A. Belcher is Vice

THE Union League is the successor of
the Dirigo Club, and has the same club

Club, as set forth in its charter aud bylaws,
are: To support and inculcate the princi-

and unqualified loyalty to the Government
of the United States; to further and by So

Europe in the maintenance in idleness of
millions of soldiery is directly subtracted
from the wage earnings of the common
people. When, therefore, the inexperi>
enced and juvenile Emperor of Germany
demands that two additional army corps
be erected in order to insure the peace of
Europe, he illustrates in the strongest
manner his own ignorance of the true
ends of government, and his own
miserable vacuity in craftsmanship, while
he exemplifes the absence from mis- esti-
mate of life of those humane sentiments
which abhor war.
We repeat, therefore, and the lesson can
not be too deeply impressed upon the
minds of the people, that Mr.. Blaine rose
to the highest order of craftsmanship when
he declared to the Congress of the Three
Americas, eve believe that friendship, not
force, spirit of just law and not the vio-
lence of the mob, should be the recognized
rule of administration between Americans
broad humanity that prompted such ut
terance, he announced humane principle
by which all nations should be bound in
indissoluble ties. This could be said with
equal cogency of the nations CT Europe.
For we insult the intelligence of that peo-
pie and the spirit of the age, if we hold
that they have not now reached that plane
of development where war between them
should be unnecessary, since the high
stage attained by their craftsmanship and
their conceded consummate diplomatic skill
need but to be emancipated from the ira
ditions of savagery and the shadows of
ages in which fear was the controlling ele-
ment in government.
Mr.. Secretary Blaine has never APP
peared to better advantage in any relation
of life than in the attitude he assumed be-
fore the Congress of the Americas. If in
the past his political methods have been
open to just criticism, in voicing the senti-
ment of the best civilization of his age, he
rose to the level of the Hottest statesman
ship and won the admiration of all Just
men, thus disarming antagonisms; and in
standing for policy that is the sum of
national benefcence, he indicated for the
American people the standard of the
craftsmanship of the future, and in the re-
sponsiye echo of the American voice he
finds the only reward the true patriot is
ambitious to receive.
Yet, Mr.. Blaine but reflected the senti-
ment and voiced the decree of intelligence.
He simply uttered the conviction that is
sunken deep in the souls of men, that only
the victories of peace are to confer upon
the statesmen of the world the highest
honors that men can bestow. He but
sounded the note of harmony that is
eventually to echo around the world, that
war is the mistake of statecraft and peace
its triumph. Hereafter the maintenance
of peace between the strong and the weak
nations alike is to be the certificate of the
highest ability on the part of the states
men directing and controlling their desti-
mics and deserving their praise. Hereafter
the existence of war between nations will
be received by the intelligence of the best
civilization as the unmistakable evidence
of latent barbarism, which has remained
uneliminated by the humanitarian ten
denotes of modern times.

THE Sacramento Board of Trade, speak
ing for the people of the city, has sent a
communication to the State Board of Ag-
riculture, waving any claim on the part
of this city as a candidate for the location
of the Citrus Fair. This leaves the field
clear to aBr fEisBdsI an tbs nQ f6tfBb quWhSB
some days ago, it took the position that
local benefit to any place by reason of the
fair being held there, was not for mo-
ment to be considered. We still maintain
that it should cut no figure in the selec
ton of a site for the fair. The one con-
trolling element in fixing upon a site
should be, as we then said, the acoommo
dation of the largest possible number of
visitors; the inducing of the greatest body
OF strangers to examine the exhibits. No
where in the interior can such exhibits be
exposed to the view of so many people of
the travelling public as at this point, where
all overland passengers would be taken to
the fair daily. The question as to whether it
would be present benefit to Sacramento
never entered into our consideration of the
matter. But Sacramento is not now a
competitor for the fair. She declines to be
placed in any antagonistic attitude toward
her neighbors on the north. She will not
ask that the larger number of the people
shall be accommodated, and consents that
the several thousands of transients who
ought to be taken to such an exposition of
the citrus fruit capacity of the central and
northern sections, shall not visit the fair
but they must be informed of it, and the
best possible work in that direction be en-
gagged in. Sacramento will do her utmost
to make the fair success wherever it may
be held. There is no jealousy of other in
terror cities on the part of the people of
this city. They have no quarreIs with
any one; they are neither grasping nor
grossly selfish; they have the interests of
the State first at heart, and in any public
spirited movement put self second, third,
or at the bottom of the list, and the good
of the greatest number and the widest area
of the State foremost.
