Last week in the Senate Morgan in
troduced a bill to fix the limit OF value
and provide for the free coinage OF sil-
YER. The bill ~recites that the market
value Of silver bullion is rapidly ap-
preaching the value Of gold on the
standard relation fixed by the laws OF
the United States; that there are no
provisions Of law for the coincge OF
standard silver dollars or the purchase OF
silver bullion by the Government when
the value Of silver bullion exceeds one
dollar for 4l21 grains Of pure silver. 1t
therefore provides that the unit OF value
in the United States shall be q dollar Of
4l2l grains Of standard silver or 25.S
grains Of gold; that these coins snail be
legal tender for all debts. public and
| private; that my owner OF silver or
gold bullion may deposit il at any mint
to be formed into dollars or bars for his
benefit, without charge.
He called the special attention OF the
| committee to the bill, which he said was
| the same as had already received Q ma
| iority of seventeen in the Senate. dc
| had introduced il because he was con-
WINGED that, in the rapid advance OF the
price Of silver bullion in the world, the
time lie not far distant, to say the least,
when silver and gold bullion will be on
q par with each other. When that time
does arrive, the law, as il now stands,
would not permit the Government tt
buy silver bullion il there was any shad'
Of appreciation in its price beyond th'
price Of gold; and there was no provis-
ion oil the law for the coinage Of any sill
YER except that purchased before silveI
reached that point. In view OF wha'
appeared to be in the air as well as OIL
land and sea, in regard to the immediate
future of the country, he thought ]
would be we'll enough to make a provis'
ion so that gold or silver bullion woul'
not be withdrawn from the United
States by other interested Government
and boarded up in their great banking
institutes.

THE MAN.

II now looks as though ex-Congress-
man Markham of Los Angeles was go
inet to receive the Republican nomina'
tion for Governor Of California without
much trouble. His chief competitor Tor
the honor is Congressman Morrow OF
San Francisco. Morrow is not develop
ing g great deal Of strength. we are
not surprised at this. He does not de-
serve TO succeed. Vanity is all there is
in him or Of him. He is one OF those
advertising qusok statesmen who is al
ways being interviewed by the tele-
graphic agent Of the press association in
Washington whenever he can msnufac-
ture the opportunity to get his name in
the dispatches. II is all for Morrow's
aeQrandizement and to make it appear
that he is the biggest toad in the pud
die from this Coast. It is closely allied
to the crime Of obtaining goods under
false p~retenses. The people do not dis.
criminate as q rule, and seeing the name
Of Morrow constantly in the telegraphic
reports are very apt TO conclude that he
IL fairly burning the earth with his
greatness. It is just this impression
that he fraudulently attempts to create.
We shall be heartily glad If the Republi.
cans slaughter him for the G~ubernatorial
nomination or any other to which he may
aspire, We do not know much about
him in his private life, but we have con
ceived g deep aversion to him in his pub
lie capacity. To put ii no stronger. he
is q very obnoxious quack. Nevada has
almost . counterpart Of him in one Of
its Senators. Our nuisance deserves &c
be de~nominated " the man with the iron
Jaw" He, too, talks through the press
necessarily with q view to impressine
the saqebrush mind in the direction Of
his unsurpassed activity and towering
bigness, when as q matter Of fact he
never knocks a persimmon for the State
and occupies the smallest possible cor
ner in the Senate. The world is full o
d~emagogues and frauds of high and Low
degree.
Markham, we think, will be the Re
publican standard. bearer in California
and he will lead his party to sure de
feat. Not that he is not q pretty de-
cent sort of man Of some ability. but
because Stanford wants to succeed him
self in the Senate and will give away
everything to secure a Republican Legis'
lature. Bill Stow is in charge of Stan
ford's fight and has millions Of dollars al
his back to make il with. Stow is emf
nently practical and is sure to concen-
trate all Of his energies On that portion
Of the ticket which he has taken q con-
tract to elect. We shall be disappointed
if he does not fail in that also. II the
people of California want Stanford re
turned to the Senate, why do they want
him?

White, may be you favor me?' No

The Federal Election bill is q measure
intended to give another lease of life to
the party now in power. MI. Blaine
practically said, that il the Mckinley
bill passes. the party may as well write
tie last will and testament. He ever
uses stronger language in regard to the
Election bill. He has no sympathy with
the reckless audacity Of his party. He
boldly asserts that this country won't
stand it. He is willing to follow or lead
his party to large national prosperity;
but when he sees it rushing headlong
into i~rretrievable folly he refuses to
share its fate.

Inside information is to the effect
that the prospects for a new railroad

POND. COLEMAN AND ENGLISH

These are the Democratic contestants
for the Gubernatorial nomination in the
Golden State. They are all good men.
English is the best known in party cir
Giles. He has been for years the Chair
man of the State Central Committee and
has done more hard work for the Demo
cratic party than any other man in Cali
fornia. But his prominence as a partisan
is apt to make him weak with the peo-
Pile. We do not regard English as a
possibility for the nomination.
Coleman is . young man and a Native
Son. He is not much known outside Of
San Francisco. Bot he has o big sack
which is sure to attract to his standard
enough energy and brains to enable him
to make a brilliant dash for the prize.
We expect 10 see him fall just short of
the nomination.
Pond is q man Of solid worth and pos
tive strength. He has been often tried
in public positions in San Francisco and
never found wanting. He is not an ex-
pertinent. All classes of people have
confidence in him. He is Q man who re-
CARDS "public office as a public trust"
He attends to the business Of The public
with the same strictness and fidelity
that he would give to his own private
affairs. Looking on from this distance
we believe most firmly that Mayor Pond
is the man for the race. We also believe
that the Democracy of California will
see il in the same light and nominate
him.

She has fallen off immensely in popula-
ton il is true, but her natural resources
are even now superior to those of some
other and older States. When water
is married TO her soil under irrigation
systems for reclamation OF arid lands
she will have capacity for the support
Of millions, and that this union will be
made is G certainty. Her mineral re-
sources we do not believe have been ex-
hausted, nor, for the matter OF that, all
| discovered. Her climate is superior to
that of the North Atlantic coast; she
lies directly in the path Of healthy de
yelopment and the drift Of population in
its westward movement. That her
plains will remain ~unproductive is alb
surd. The demand for their reclama-
tion is but recent, but it is a demand
that will as certainly have favorable &C
tiop as any other that has been made foi
State development. She has given i'm
mense wealth to the nation, and wher
she shall have passed through the quies-
cent state Of the present she will be pro

processes as are going on in her case are
not rapid, and with her c~ontiguity tt
California, Oregon and other fertile
States, they will be exceedingly slow
But the change must come. In tn

for her undoing as such. nor SHOULD
