A GOOD sAND-oEE.

The Stockton Mail critelzes the platform
Of the San joaquin Republicans adopted in
placing Mr.. Shippee among Republican as
pirants. The resolution which especially
offeHds the Mail is that which aiIirms Mr..
Shippee TO be man of integrity as well as
intelligence. Our Stockton friend thinks
that the integrity clause in the platform
should be inferred from Mr. Shippee's rec
ord. In the absence of notorious record
to the contrary. integrity is an understood
quality. While there is some point in this
argument it is nevertheless true that men
are prominent in politics of whose integrity
the less said the better. Men 90 before
almost every State convention who hardly
attempt TO conceal the fact that they are in
politics for what there is in it for them.
They want Office for the opportunity it
affords to rob the public. The Stockton Con-
vention. composed of men that know Mr..
Shippee. affirm that he is not thai kind of a
man. Ii they have given this affirmation
knowing it to be untrue, they have disgraced
themselves. Ii it is true, and we do not call
its truth in question, it places Mr. Shippee
on higher ground than some aspirants for
the Office occupy.

MORROW FOR CONGRESSMAN.


The Red Bluff Sentinel gives the follow
ing reasons why Congressman Morrow
should not be nominated for Governor:
First-Mr. Morrow has now served in Congress
long enough to be of substantial benefit to the
State there and if he Is to remain the servant OF
the State, there is where he should be kept. All
his experience valuable as II IS there, would
avail him little as Governor
Second-Mr Morrow would have to resign be-
fore his time expired. and there would be
vacant Republican seat, unless at special
election his. successor could be elected In time,
and his successor might be Democrat, The i'm
portance OF the new appOrtlonmeHt ana the Tariff
Bill that may go over, and much other legisa-
ton might make his presence imperative. III We
are lacking in material for Governor and could
not get along without Mr.. Morrow, the case would
be different. But we can spare him from Saera-
mento and we can't spare him from Washington.
The Sentinel supports General Chapman.
of whom it says
General Chapman, we believe, would unite and
harmonic all differences. His record on all the
issues of The duy is made and is sound. He was
one OF the first to sound note of warning on the
Chinese question. AS early as in 1880 he de-
clared in Fourth OF July oration in iayor OF
absolute exclusion as the only source OF safety.
Both Markham and Chapman served in
the war for the Union with distinction, and
both have won distinction as civilians.
The convention can nominate but one of
them, and either would be a strong candi-
date. No person at present knows what
will be done with the United States Sena-
torship, for there is a decided prejudice
among the people against corporation Off
Gals. The southern counties have pre-
sented Colonel Markham, and their candi-
date has developed good deal of strength
in the central counties. 0ne-third of Nor
rows Congressional district will go to
Markham as first choice, and nearly all
the delegates will accept him willingly
when they see that Morrow has no pros
pect of being nominated. 1t should be
borne in mind that the south has popular
candidate for Senator on the Democratic
side. With the feeling in the State against
corporation Senators and against pluto
Gratis Of the Hearst stamp, it is impossible
to predict with confidence the result of the
campaign. Unless the Republicans have a
representative Of the southern counties
on the ticket, there will probably be a
movement toward Mr.. White in that Sec
ton of sufficient force to determine the
political complexion of the next Legisla-
ture. There is another point of danger. If
through the efforts of Mr.. White Demo-
cratic Legislature should be elected, Mr..
White would probably not be the caucus
nominee for Senator. The Democratic
machine is set against him. Buckley and
Hearst control the machine, and it would
be entirely within their power when the
Legislature meets to give the caucus nom-
ination to Buckley's young man, Clunie.

PUBLIC EXECUTIONS.

The new law in New York, designed to
prevent the direction of public attention
upon executions, does not appear to have
accomplished its purpose. No other execu-
ton in years has been so much talked about
as that of kemmler. Limiting the number
OF witnesses only seems to increase the num-
Der of variations given to the details of the
last scene. There seems to be something in
the fact that human being is to die by
human hands at fixed hour that absorbs
public attention. Hundreds of people died
natural deaths the day Kemmler WAS exc
euted, but it is only relatives and friends
that give the matter thought. But when
man who has taken one life by his own
hands becomes the victim of the law, the
event of death assumes another aspect
General Sickles seems to be Of opinion that
if Kemmler did suffer il served him right.
The more the suffering attending an execu-
ton the greater the warning. This was the
prevalent idea when burning at the stake
was fayorite method of producing death,
but the present age will not tolerate any
intlction of pain that is not a necessary
result of the chief purpose to take life.

\ QUEER COMBINATION.

Edward Curtis and NJ. II. de Young are
supporting Morrow for Governor, Mr.. Cur
tis is understood to be a Democrat, but he
takes lively interest in the welfare of the
Republican party. NJ. II. de Young is a
Republican when the managers of the Re-
publican party make it his interest to be a
Republican. he will probably lend the
party the support of the Chronicle until
there shall develop difference of opinion
between himself and the real leaders Of the
party as TO the value of his services. 1t is a
little odd that both Mr.. Curtis and Mr.. de
Young should support Mr.. Morrow. Cur
It's is q Stanford man 1rst, Democrat sec
ond, and Republican when be sees way
to serve Mr.. Stanford most effectively by
taking a hand in Republican conventions.
Mr. de Young, on the other hand, does not
think the election of Mr.. Stanford to sue
coed himself in the Senate essential to the
we'll being of the party. He probably has
& man in view whom he would rather see
Senator. Still. these two men come together
in a movement to take Mr.. Morrow out of
Congress, where his service would be of
some value to the State, and put him in an
office the duties Of which a dozen other men
can discharge as well as he.

Accidental Death of Edward Tobin in

Accidental Death of Edward Tobin in
Mission Hotel.
The Coroner was notified yesterday morn
ing that Edward Totin, aged 53 a native of
Ireland, who up to some two weeks ago
kept grocery on Mission street, near First,
had been found dead from gas asphyxation
in room at Dalling's Hotel at Ill Twenty
sixth street. The strong smell Of gas from
the room caused Mrs. Dalling to open the
door with pass key and she found Tobin
lying dead in bed, and the room full of gas,
escaping from an open jet.
The body was removed to the Morgue.
where an inquest was at once held and a
verdict of accidental death caused by gas
asphyxiatlon returned by the jury. Mrs.
Tobin, the widow of the deceased, and her
son, aged II. who live on Mission street,
near First, called at the Morgue soon after
Tobin's body was received there, and
stated that he had been engaged to work
for James Mccoy, a contractor in the Mis-
sion, and that he had engaged a room at
Dalling's Hotel on Wednesday in order to
be near his work.

wHo Is nMKs. AsToR..

The postofice authorities have been
called upon to decide which Of two ladies
is entitled to the distinction of being Mrs.
Astor" During the life of her husband
Mrs. William Astor enjoyed this distinc-
ton, all other Mrs. Astors" being re-
quired to establish their identity by using a
baptismal name. But when William AstOr
died William Waldorf Astor became the
head of the Astor family and Mrs. William
Waldorf Astor claimed the right TO the SIM
pie designation of "Mrs. Astor." Each OF
the ladies left orders with the Newport
Postmaster to deliver to herself all letters
addressed simply to 'AIrs Aston" The
Newport Postmaster decided in favor of
the younger lady on the ground that her
husband was the recognized head of the
Astor family, and, consequently, if there
was any ''Mrs. Aston" the wife of the head
of the family was entitled to that dis
tincton. The New York Postmaster took a
closer view of his duties. He did not find
any instructions which authorized him to
withhold from one Mrs. Astor letters ad-
dressed to "Mrs. Astor' and to deliver to
another Mrs. Astor letters so addressed.
He proposes to send all letters addressed
simply to Mrs. Astor" to the Dead Letter
OHlce, WHICH has authority " oPoh nosIoio

much legal right to letters SO addressed as

Benjamin Harrison, would not claim let

unless otherwise so directed that they

1t is probable that the two ladies named
Astor will settle the matter between them
selves rather than allow their letters to go
to the Dead Letter Office and be read by
common clerks.

IA TO Transfers.

Editor Call: A little thought will show
sc. B. So that he is wrong, even if, in
his own particular case, as quoted, he was
subjected to modification" when the con-
ductor refused his transfer. His complaint
is against the Omnibus Railroad Company.
Probably there is no company in the
world which gives so long ride on regu-
lar single scent ticket as this company does.
One can start from North Beach and make
a continuous trip to Fifteenth avenue,
South San Francisco, for that small sum.
But suppose North Beach resident rides
TO his office, near Montgomery and Market
streets, and takes a transfer there. During
the day he may have business in the vicin-
ity of Howard and Tenth streets, and rides
to that point and takes another transfer
there. When he gets to Fifteenth avenue.
South San Francisco, he has been riding off
and on for half the day. When he is ready
to come back he buys another s. cent
ticket and repeats the process during the
other half of the day. With all due re-
spect to &C. B. ST." this is not the principle
of transferring" l have not dollar in
the Omnibus Railroad Company, but like
to see fair play and to see good things ap-
preeiated. NJ.

FOR FIRE PROTECTION.

The Produce Exchange VIII Make the
Canvass Alone and Unaided.
The fable of the farmer who waited for
his neighbors to come and help him harvest
field of grain has been eXemplifed in the
efforts of the Produce Exchange to raise
money for the needs of the San Francisco
Fire Department.
Last week Barry Baldwin, President of
the Produce Exchange, endeavored to re-
vive the original movement and solicited
the aid of tie Chamber of Commerce, Man.
ufaeturers' Association, Mechanics Insti-
tute and State Board of Trade IN canvass
ing the city for funds. but these several
institutions declined to participate, and so
the Produce Exchange, like the farmer in
the fable, has decided TO go it alone.
President Baldwin appointed r. Balfour,
G.. B. Stone and W. E; Holloway as a COM
mittee to solicit subscriptions. At first
these gentlemen thought they could do
nothing without the aid o f the other organ
izati0ns, but after several meetings, they
changed their minds and decided to begin
the work, though Mr.. Balfour had to with
draw from the committee as he is going to
be out of town, and John Rosenfeld was
put in his place. The committee has pre-
pared the following to be printed in the
subscription books:
We hereby agree TO pay to committee to be
fund, and as soon this subscription amounts
40 100000, the amount opposite our signatures,
such money to be expended by said committee
for the Improvement OF the San Francisco Fire
Department, 60 per cent to be expended for
hydrants and apparatus, 10 be owned by the SUBJ
scrIbers and loaned to the city of san Francisco.
40 per cent 10 be expended in making al least ten
fire companies fully paid.
The committee will start out on its work
next Monday morning. and is already as
sured OF subscription Of $4,000 from the
Underwriters. so that it will have $50, 600 to
raise. II was decided also to have the sub
scriptiOn agreement read that 60 per cent of
the 100000 should be expended to buy APP
paratuS, ETC., because it is believed that the
greater number of merchants are more will
ing to contribute for apparatus than for
firemen's pay, since the apparatus would be
regarded as a loan to the department, and
there would be better chance of the re-
turn Of their money by reason of the de-
partment buying the goods afterward.
The members of the committee win go
together, at first, through the wholesale
district If they meet with success the city
will be afterward districted.
