GIVE Us FAIt PLAY.

The clique of Pennsylvania politicians
who are trying to induce the Navy Depart
ment to award the contract for the Sl00-tOn
cruiser to Cramp & Sons are not making a
record of which they will feel proud when
they take back look at it. Pennsylvania
wants the contract and apparently means
to have it by fair means or foul. There
is lot Of sCurvy politicians in that
State, but it remains to be seen if they
have sufficient influence with the Admin
istratiOn TO carry their point There is
10 claim that the bid of the Union Iron
Works on the department plans. which
were the same for all bidders. was not
the lowest offered. No one can claim that
the Cramps can do better work than the
Union Iron Works. II the contract is with
held from the lowest bidder and given to
the next in price, it will be because Penn
sylvania exercises more political influence
than California. II the Cramps wanted
the contract so badly they should have bid
low enough to get it. 1t is possible for the
Administration to make a great mistake
over a comparatively trifling matter.

COIN IN TIE TREASURY.

The statement OF Senator Reagan that the
retention of S100,O00,O0o in gold in the
Treasury had cost the people $40, 900
in interest is perhaps literally true, but a
broader treatment Of the subject would take
into consideration the results which that re-
serve las contributed to bring about. When
this 100000 was accumulated and by
law placed in the Treasury as reserve there
were S3G5, 100000 Of greenbaeks in circula-
tion which the people had not become ac-
custonied to considering as good as gold. If
redemption had been assumed with only a
~ millions in reserve it is probable that
there would have been a large offering of
legal tenders. But the knowledge that there
were piled up in the vaults of the Tres
ury S1O0.O00,000 in gold coin which holders
Of gTeenbacks could have by presenting the
paper proved to be solid basis Of credit.
The people did not want the gold so long as
they were satisfied that they could have it
when they might want it, The result has
been that the Government has kept in
circulation more than So Of non-interest-
bearing notes for each dollar Of gold locked
up in the Treasury. These legal tenders
represent -s~febt, and if they could not be
kept in circulation the Government would
have to pay them in place Of paying inter-
est-bearing bonds.

IMmIGKATIoN DECLINING.

The railroads report falling off in trans
continental travel. During the first quarter
of the year the arrivals were only 1852,
against 24,719 last year, and the departures
Hiss against 1859 This may in part be
accounted for by the snow blockade on the
Sierra, but April and May, when the snow
blockade was thing of the past, also show
a falling off, and for this it is difficult to
assign reason.
For the increase Of our population, out
side of natural increase, we are dependent on
the East WehaVe little maritime immigra-
ton. If the immigration from the East is
checked it means a check to tie develop
ment of the State and a diminutiOn Of the
labor supply which is essential for the
utilization of our new acreage.
Life is easier here than at the East. The
rewards of labor are greater Agriculture
is a source Of wealth, not a means of bare
subsistence. Wages are higher. The eli
mate is far more genial. Yet immigration
is falling off.

THE WHITE VIEW OF THE CASE

The San BernardnO Courier has the fol-
loving;
Senator White will in his appeal TO the people
of California IN the campaign. in all probability,
revolutionize things politically IN this State II
he is opposed by the combine" If antagOnized
by BOSSES" this campaign Will doubtless end in
Democratic defeat, but after the counting Of
votes the Democrats OF California Will straight
way proceed to a reorganization OF forces
A reorganization of forces is much needed
now in the Democratic party. No Demo-
Graf, however high in respect to talent and
character and popular with the people, can
be elected to the United States Senate while
the party is under its present leadership
MI. White labors under the disadvantage of
being a supertluous man. There is no place
for him on the Democratic slate. lie will
have no support from Mr.. Hearsts organ in
his Senatorial aspirations. No obstacles
will be thrown in MI Stanf0rd's way this
fall by the Buckley organization, and two
years from this time when Mr.. Hearst
seat becomes vacant Hearst Legislature
will be elected unless, as our San Bernar-
dino friend suggests. there is complete re-
organization of the Democratic force. The
Examiner derives some support from Demo-
Gratis under the pretense that it is Demo-
cratic paper. But as the Examiner would
have died long ago but for the financial sup
port it receives from Senator Hearst, he
claims that its existence is due to him, and
that it should be first Hearst organ, with
Democracy as a second choice. If the
southern counties have abandoned the wild
project of division, we see no reason why
that portion of the State is not entitled to a
portion of the offices. But as Mr.. White is
not on the Hearst-Buckley slate, we do not
see much chance for him to display his
talents in the United States Senate while
that crowd controls the State.

MK1NLEY ON TIE TARIFF BILL.

In the North american Reuiel0 for June
Mr.. Mckinley makes a statement of the
results he expects from the tariff bill which
is designated by his name. On the basis of
last years importalions. the bill win make
free foreign products to the value of $780,
SOC, 40. There viii remain on the same
basis OF total importations foreign products
TO the amount of S375, 624,6S7 on which
duties Will be collected. 1t will be seen,
therefore, that under the Mckinley bill
nearly one-haif of our total imports will be
free. With the single exception of sugar.
the additions to the free list consist largely
of commodities not produced in our eoun-
try. The articles upon which the rate Of
duties is increased are products common to
this and other countries. The bill places
upon the free list imports to the value of
sos, 232 $50 which are under the present
tariff on the dutiable list. This amount is
largely composed of sugar, which is likely
yet to be transferred to the dutlable list by
the Senate. The bill in its main feature is,
as Mr. Mckinley says, in the interests of
tie people Of the United States, and for the
better defense of their homes and indus

EDITORIAL NOTES.

1t is now asserted that Atlantic steamers
have resorted to some queer practices to
evade responsibility for bringing undesir-
able persons to this country. Ex-convicts
and bad characters have paid their passage
money, shipped as members of crew, and
when once ashore in this country forgot
to return to the vessel. 1t is claimed that
steamers have put into New York with
four times as many men as were needed to
work ship, the majority Of the men desert
ing and helping 10 swell the criminal ele-
ment in this country.
Guatemala's ambition to secure an inter-
oceanic railway across the republic is
likely TO be realized by the construction of
the Northern Railway from the capital to
the Atlantic coast, connecting with the
Central Railway, now running between the
capital and the Pacific coast. To assist
this undertaking and improve the financial
condition of the country the Government
agrees to issue a loan of S21, 312, 500, the
bonds to draw 6 per cent interest, French
syndicate Offering to take the whole amount
at so per cent.
The announcement that the Russian Gov
eminent has ordered the organization of a
new corps of flying cavalry and further
augmentation of its 1eld-battery service is
followed by the declaration of the Austrian
Minister of War that the peace of Europe
is not secure, and that, therefore, a consid-
cradle increase of the army is necessary.
The estimated cost of the increase is from
10000, 900 to 100 100000 forms.
The English House of Lords, which has
so often blocked legislative innovations,
/ has rejected tile bill to enable women to
serve as members Of county councils. The
people Of London testified their approval
of the movement by electing a couple OF
ladies, Miss Z. J. C. Golden and Miss
Emma Cons, members of the County Coun-
ell, and they were permitted to serve with

Congress appropriated SS1 ,000. 900 for pen.
siOns for the present fiscal year, and this
was supplemented with deficiency appro-
priation of S2l, 100000 last spring. 1t is
now said that S6,Ooo,0oo more will be re-
quired to meet deficiencies in certain dis
tricts. This will make total of about
SlO8, oG0 for pensions for the present
fiscal year.
The Sultan of Turkey, who looks with
jealous eye on England's prolonged occupa-
ton of Egypt, is anxious to recover control
as suzerain over the land of the Pharoahs !;
but while some concessions may be made,
the British are not likely to soon surrender
the key to their Indian possessions.
