Rivers and Harbors bill pass the
Senate, and programme of business
was arranged for the ensuing week.
The National Election Bill is great
stumbling block, however, and a
good deal of bitterness has been en-
gendered inside, the Republican
party through Senator Quay's at
tempt to shelve the bill this session.
1t was decided by the Republican
Senators to let it stand over for &C
ton in the short session. The
chances are that it will be quietly
shelved. The country does not
want it.
The strike on the New York Cen
trail railroad is likely to result in
general strike on all Eastern roads.
The action of the New York Central
management is recognized as chal-
lenge by federated capital to feder-
ated labor. This will be the second
trial of strength on the railroad lines
and capital will probably win. But
when the third trial takes place, as
it assuredly will, labor-that is
flesh and blood-will be on top. 1t
is folly to force such an issue at the
present time, when the public mind
is agitated by the INSCRIPTIONS and
thieving operations of trusts and
combines. The ballot and manhood
suffrage should be left to settle all
social and economic issues.
Great preparations are beingemade
for celebrating the fortieth anniver-
sary of the admission of California
into the Union.
HAWAIIAN INTERESTS WATCHED.
Representative Morrow is not
happy. He was nominated by the
Republican State Convention as one
of two "Congressmen at large"
but as there has been no new APP
portionment of seats, and as none
is likely to be operative before 1892,
worthless. 1t is like inviting a gen.
tleman to hunt rainbows. Mr.. Nor
row has been the subject of good
deal of banter and fun at the Ma
tional Capitol. Speaker Reed takes
special delight in rubbing attic salt
into Morrow's wounded vanity. The
truth is, Morrow was never strong
man. He was disastrously beaten
on his merits by Chas. Sumner, a
newspaper reporter, in 1882, when
he ran for Congress as candidate-at-
large for the State, and his subse-
quent success in the constituency of
Sau Francisco is to be credited to
the telling work of few prominent
Republicans rather than to his own
strength. In the last gubernatorial
fight he was taken up by the Chro-
nicle and the Federal Office holders,
led by General Dimond, who work.
ed for him as Chairman of the State
Republican Committee, although
Morrow voted for the Mckinley ia
riff bill abolishing the sugar duty
and practically abrogating the Ha-
waiian Treaty. The Islands at
least should not be burdened with
regret at the rejection by the Repub-
lican Convention of candidate who
had gone dead against their inter.
ests, as well as against the CONNER.
cial and manufacturing interests Of
San Francisco so intimatel yidentified
with Hawaiian trade.
The Democratic State Conven.
ton at San Jose nominated Mayor
Pond, of San Francisco, for Cover
nor. The choice was the very best
that could have been made. Mayor
Pond is also a good friend of thu
islands. He is too we'll known tt
readers of the BULLETIN, however
to need special mention. Tit
Chronicle made a savage attacl
upon Judge Wallace, who was ,
candidate for his old position a
Chief Justice, charging him witt
corrupt motives in his decision OF
the Sugar case, and alleging tina
his decision was reversed and he
himself, rebuked by the Supreme
Court. All of which, as matter o
course, is untrue. His decision ha
not been reversed, he was not re
buked, and it is fair to presum
that he was not actuated by impro
per motives in giving his decision.
