THE ELECTRICAL CAR PROPOSITION

The electrical railway proposition will
again come before the City Trustees this
morning. The request of the Central
Street Railway should be granted-that
the company may introduce the overhead
system. The RECoRD-UNIoN has hereto
fore given reasons in detail why the petit
ton should receive affirmative response;
we deem them unanswerable.
OF course such reasonable provisos as
will protect the public interest should be
made regarding service and the occupa-
ton of the streets with machinery of the
road and similar matters. To such pro-
visions the company will not interpose OBJ
ijections we assume, since it is to its inter-
est to have all things made plain, to avoid
all ambiguity of contract, and to have the
public in harmony with the scheme of the
investors.
What has elsewhere proven so success
full must succeed here, the conditions be-
ing more favorable. The track of the
Central Road is by Eastern experts pro-
nounced one of the best laid and best
stocked in the United Sta ties, and it is
therefore admirably adapted to use by
rapid transit cars. In fact, while the cleo
trical cars in San Jose are successful, the
track over which they run most of the dis
lance is too light, too narrow, and is i'll
adapted to rapid motion and easy riding.
We have reason, therefore, to expect far
greater success over the broad gauge, heavy
rails of the Sacramento road.
We hope to see the day soon when horses
for motive power will be abandoned on all
three of the Sacramento lines and electricity
or compressed air substituted AS discov-
cry and science now stand in relation to
each other as motive powers for car lines,
electricity is first compressed air and cables
second, steam third and horses last. With
horses in use, therefore, on level roads and
in warm climate, we are at the rear of the
procession. As consequence, the outly-
ing sections and the business portions Of
the city are too far apart in the matter Of
time. The one thing to do to advance
local interests is to bring them nearer to.
gether. The first move in that direction
is the proposition to be passed upon this
morning. If granted, it will closer relate
residence and business sections, not only
by greater rapidity of transit, but by
greater regularity, by certainty in the
running of cars and by increased carriage
capacity.

THE COSTUMES TRAGEDY.

The discharge of the Chinese under ar
rest for the murder of young Pierson was
an act of simple justice. At the East the
impression obtains TO a considerable ex-
tent that race prejudice is so bitter on the
Coast that the Chinese cannot secure
fair hearing before our magistrates and
lures. We know this TO be an unwar-
ranted judgment, and that the Chinaman
has as fair a field in our tribunals as the
citizen. Indeed, the fact is that in some
respects heenjoys immunity from the pen
alties Of the law that the citizen cannot
escape, since it is not only difficult to ar
rive at the truth where Chinese witnesses
are involved, but the secretiveness of the
-Chinaman and the mysterious power of his
secret tribunals, and his Submission TO the
several Chinese companies, serve as shields
to him, which our officials are seldom able
TO penetrate,
In the case in question a number of
young men visited Chinese fruit camp
with the avowed purpose of creating
difficulty. They had not any serious
wrong in contemplation, they intended to
provoke fight with fists for the mere
sport Of it. The purpose, in short, was
the legitimate outcome Of the slogging
craze that has seized upon the manhood of
the day and is brutalizing it. The Chinese
had, however, every reason to believe that
the provocation TO fight was with intent to
kill. They thereupon set upon the young
men with knives and killed one of them.
Terrified at the result Of the melee, the
entire party of Chinese fed, their fruit
crop was abandoned, their goods left be-
hind, and to this date but two of the num-
Der have been found.
These two have now been examined be-
fore a magistrate of this city and dis
charged, properly SO, the District Attorney
admitting that no conviction could be had,
and the Court ruling that the Chinese
were justified in their actions. The unfor-
tunate young man who met his death was
least blameworthy of any of the group OF
Americans, but this the Chinese could not
know.
The outcome Of this sad affair is les.
sm, the effect of which should not be lost
mon our people. Such lawless actions as
the young men were guilty of are magni-
fed at the East into undue Importance,
and all Californians are reproached in con-
sequence for supposed inhumanity to the
Chinese. As a result our complaints are
mt aside concerning the undesirability Of
che Chinese as residents Of this State, the

Referring to the movements of ]. B..

Breeder and Sportsman says: From letters
received from friend it would seem as
though John Mackey, the genial superin-
tendent of Rancho del Paso, has been hav-
ing great time in the land of Johnny
Bull. His quaint, odd ways have made
him a general favorite, and as Mr.. Haggin
has introduced him quite generally in
English society, il may fully be expected
that John will return with all the manner
isms of an English cockney. Fitted out in
dress suit, patent leather shoes and g
high hat, be is familiar figure around the
corridors of the principal hotels, and can
be seen almost any night jumping out of

THE Wisconsin says that when electricity
in sufficient volume, or of sufficient ca
pacity, can be generated without the use
of steam power and dynamos, it will su-
persede steam power, but until then it
must remain second to steam. In sense
this is true. Where, however, electricity
can be generated by operation of dynamos
by natural agencies, as the waterfall, the
swift current and the force OF the wind,
electricity is first and steam second as a
motive power when applied directly. II
the storage battery is interposed, however,
there is excessive loss. When the cleo
tricians have discovered how to inject into
the storage battery the generative prin-
ciple, so that the constant loss can be reple-
nished in part without recharging, an
advance will be made that will revolu-
tionize motive powers, and exercise a
powerful influence upon the industrial
world.

AT no time in the history of the State
Agricultural Society has there been such
early preparation by exhibitors for the
State Fair as in this year. From which it
may be inferred that the States annual
exposition in 1890 will be one of especial
attractiveness. Let us hope that the peo-
pie of all the counties of the State will be
represented in the coming fair. There is
a vast deal more than sentiment in this
matter. Representative people of the
State are brought together at these annual
expositions under circumstances that are
in the highest degree favorable to ex-
change of practical views concerning ma
terial interests. We know too little of
each other in California and are Him
formed of the capacities and production of
the several counties, compared to the
knowledge in detail that every citizen
should have of every section of the State.

Ex-CoNGREssMAN Horace F. Page is
dead. He was well known in this city,
where he had very many friends and was
highly esteemed. Some ten years ago he
retired from political life and took up his
residence in Washington city. Mr.. Page,
when first elected to Congress, was resi-
dent of Placerville. He was hard-work-
ing, practical man in an humble calling.
Unexpectedly to even his best friends,
when he entered political life he proved
to have special capacity for it, and served
his district several terms in Congress with
faithfulness, efficiency and industry, and
made himself felt in the halls of the Ma
tional Legislature. He was especially
prominent in the advocacy of the first
Chinese exclusion measure, and was nota-
BILE for the vigor and presidency with
which he pushed the claims of his district
for public improvements. There are very
few instances of self made men who so
rapidly came to the front of public promi-
nence from such an obscure position as Mr..
Page occupied After his retiracy from
political life he opened an Office in Wash
ington in practice of the law and in special
lines achieved sufficient success to meet his
ambition. His death was sudden and

have heretofore been mainly confined to

cisco. He now proposes to extend his
field of operations SO as to take in the en-
tire State, with headquarters in the Elk
ecutive Chair. Shall the new shuttle be
made effective? viii the people consent
to the extension to California of the boss
system, of which Buckley is the head in
San Francisco? Mayor Pond owes his
nomination to Buckley, precisely as he
owes his present position to him. He has
masked behind seeming of independence,
but every measure Buckley has desired has
found its way through the legislative

condition of things will prevail in the
