COLONEL MARKHAM's CANDIDACY.

The rapidity with which Colonel Mark
ham is augmenting his strength in the
State is remarkable. No candidate for
Governor in many years has received such
oyations from the people. 1t has been
said that Mr. Markham has happy fac
ulty of making friends, and this is better
than the art of the orator in a campaign
that is Sc personal, and in which the issues
are SO few. Sacramento county can be
depended upon to give Mr.. Markham a
fine majority, and the indications are that
it will reflect his triumph. He will go
into the gubernatorial chair absolutely a
free man, pledged 10 reward no one,
to punish none, and under no circum-
stances a candidate for reelection This
will leave him so free-handed that his ad-
ministration will be wholly exempt from
influences that so often tie the hands of the
Executive and make its acts hinge upon
pledges and ambitions.

RAPID FIRE GUNS.

The recent tests of the four-inch rapid
fire guns at Annapolis were so successful
that it is now deemed certain that this class
of ordnance will fill a very much larger
place in our naval ornaments. They are
to form part OF batteries on all the new
vessels of war of our Government. Their
high value is found in the ability to use
them against the attack Of torpedo boats.
Heretofore the safety of the torpedo boat
resided not more in It's low position in the
water and in its speed of Withdrawal, than
in the inability TO train heavy guns against
1t in time to do any effective work. To
meet the necessity the torpedo boat Gre
ated, inventors have been at work Cor
some years, and no less than ten different
kinds Of light rapid firing guns have been
tested by the Government gunnere and
naval engineers, and several have been
adopted by the Government.
In italy, France and Chile, types of
this style of gun have been adopted. The
rapid fire gun just tested weighs one and
half tons. Its projectile is one of thirty
six pounds, and n.throwing it twelve and
a half pounds Of prismatic powder are used.
This gives the shot at The muzzle an ini-
tial velocity of 1900 feet second. The
penetration at the muzzle in steel is seven
inches, and it can be fired no less than six
times minute with accuracy. Such a
weapon, well manned, will make the work
of torpedo boat crews vastly more perilous.
1t will now be in order to expect in
ventive genius to develop torpedo boats
equal to withstandiug the defensive as
saults of the new weapons. So it is, that
in the art of war, every step to improve
the machinery of death and make it more
seryiceable, is father to another step to re-
sist the advance, and thus it comes about
that naval science and the art Of killing
human beings-which is General Grants

BRAZIL AND DOM PEDRO.

The dispatches say that Dom Pedro is
about to ask leave of the Brazilian repub-
lie to return to that country to pass the
remainder of his days as private citizen.
The question is asked by some of our con-
temporaries whether a republic can afford
to grant such request made by former
monarch, and whether, in such case as
that of Dom Pedro's, the Brazilian Gov
eminent would do polite thing by ad-
hitting him to the country.
PROFESSIONALLY it will be both safe and
wise for the new republic to grant the aged
Emperor's petition if it has been made,
which we are inclined to doubt. 1t is true
that there are elements in Brazil not
friendly to the present form of govern
ment, and which would conspire to its
overthrow on slight pretexts. 1t is also
true that the presence of the old Emperor
would tend to influence them in that d.
rection. But the republic is equal to all
such influences and it can demonstrate It's
confidence in its own strength in no bet
ter way than by saying to the ex-Emperor
Some home and pass your last days with
u.s."
If Dom Pedro should return, he would,
of course, do so under a pledge to engage
In no revolutionary movements, and not to
countenance any; in other words, he
would pledge himself not to abuse the
privilege granted. He is a man of IN
wavering fidelity to trust reposed in him.
He would suffer death rather than betray
a trust or make breach of confidence.
He could, therefore, be admitted as a
friend in perfect trust that he would not
prove untrue. His admission would say
to all the world that Brazil, as republic,
is not the enemy of the man, but of the
title he wore and all it represents in polit-
zeal life 1t would be a splendid example
of the capacity Of the Brazilians for self
government and of their ability to main
tain a republic The elements antago-
nistic TO the Government would be abso-
Iutely weaker with Dom Pedro at home
and refusing to be party to their schemes
than with Dom Pedro abroad as an exile.

THE QUORUM QUESTION.

The quorum question has not lost its in
terest. 1t continues to be a leading topic
of debate in the reviews, magazines and
newspapers. We must conclude that it
stirred the national heart very thoroughly
and moved the people deeply, else the
continued debate would not confront us.
The latest contribution 10 the literature of
the subject Is from the pen Of Representa-
tive Balzell Of Pennsylvania, contributed

A Young Giant Causes Three Policemen

Yesterday Chief of Police Drew received
a telegram from Sheriff Butler, of Placer
county, asking him to arrest young man
named ]. S. Miller on a charge of grand
larceny.
The man was soon located in K-street
saloon, and officer Gibson undertook to
arrest him, but he refused to go with the
officer. as he is a man upward of six feet
tall and powerfully built, it was deemed
advisable to send larger force to take him
down, and officers Wilson and Higgins
went to Gioson's aid.

NEWFOUNDLAND's OFFER.

The local government of Newfoundland
has sent a Commissioner to the United
States to make US fisheries proposition.
The New York Commercial Bulletin thus
summarizes the proposition:
American fishermen are to have the pIivi-
lege OF entering the harbors of Newfoundland
to purchase bait on the same terms as New
fOundland fishermen, and the privilege of trad
ing and selling fish, oils, etc, subject only to
such customs duties as are imposed upon
Newfoundland vessels similarly employed; also
the privilege of the winter frozen herring fish
cry. In return for this, Newfoundland asks the
free admission 10 the Uni ed states of her fish
and oils and crude materials, as building stone,
coal, copper, lead, nickel, etc.
1t is probable that American fishermen
will urge the acceptance of this plan of
adjustment, since it will give them free
access to Newfoundland, and conserve the
volume of their catch and return of fish.
But how will the Canadians view the
scheme, which is one of a reciprocal char
acter? 1t certainly is opposed to their
fishery interests. They can, therefore be
relied upon, in all probability, to demand
of Newfoundland the withdrawal of the
proposition.

KEEP CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN.

Republicans should remember that
while the State campaign does not present
local issues, outside of questions of State
economy, that it is of FIRST Importance that
California be kept in the Republican col
umn for national reasons. The next gen.
eral election will be one in which Presi-
dent will be chosen. To turn the State
over to the Democracy this year will,
therefore, give the latter party leverage
in 1892 that cannot be afforded by the Re-
publicans of California
Under Republican administration the
country has made its greatest progress and
attained the highest plane of prosperity 1t
has ever reached. 1t is therefore essential
that California be taken out of the list of
uncertain States, and confirmed at this
election as approving and upholding the
policy of the party of progressive ideas,
and as opposed to the party of obstruction
and retrogression.
AT the recent Prison Congress paper
was read that very neatly and completely
disposes Of the assertion that education is
rot deterrent of crime. 1t had been
shown as basis for the assertion that
education does not diminish crime, that
statistics prove that 20 per cent. of con-
victs can read and write; therefore, it was
reasoned, the tendency of common school
education is not to lessen the numbers Of
the criminal class. The paper in question,
we regret being unable to give the name
Of its author, points out in this argument
a fatal error. That is, that it does not
take into account the statistics of litter
acy. Suppose there were none in all the
land who could be classed as illiterate,
then all crime would be represented by
those classified as educated. Would that,
however, prove that education is stimu-
liant for crime, and that therefore it should
be abandoned in favor of ignorance? Ger
tainly not. But the statistics do show.
that while out Of population of given
numbers % per cent. can read and write,
and 20 per cent. of the criminal class come
from such populations, the figures also
prove that 80 per cent. of the criminal
class spring from the five per cent. of illit-
crates in the population. So that the
truth is, the ignorant groups furnish six
times more of the criminal class in proper
ton to whole numbers than do the edu-
Gated groups. In the face of such show
ing it is impossible to maintain that edu-
cation is not il restraint of crime.
