BEWARE OF BETRAYAL.

Republicans ought to be Informed that eff
rts are being made by newspapers which
e lin to be Republican in sentiment TO de-
ieat the party at the approaching election so
lar as members of the Legislature are con-
ceTned. The design is to make il appear
that candidates fer the Senate and Assem-
bly, will be nominated with view to elect
lng certain person United States Senator.
The CALL will premise by saying that it
has no candidate for United States Senator,
but it believes a selection should be made,
when the proper time arrives, for the best
interests Of the State. 1t would therefore
advise that men should be nominated
throug bout the State for members of the
Senate and Assembly who stand deservedly
high in the party, and that to them and the
hold-over Senators should be left the selec-
ton of United States Senator. 1t will be
4 great mistake if the Republican leaders
permit the party to be placed in such po-
sition as it was when Mr.. Sargent was a
candidate few years ago. The people
should send such men to the Legislature as
can be trusted to elect United States SEN
ator. If a mistake is made in this respect
men viii be nominated for Senators and
Assemblymen by little cliques OF trading
politicians in various locations, who will not
only betray their constituents in choosing a
United States Senator. but they will be used.
as was the case in the last Legislature, by
Buckley aud his lambs.

RECIPROCITY wIrH CANADA.

Mr.. JOSEPH Nimmo Jr. states number of
points to be gained by reciprocity with
Canada. An example is the folio wing:
First-Secretary Manning, in reply to
resolution of the House of Representatives.
dated January TO- 1887, said: while this
department protects Canadian fishermen in
the use Of American ports, the Dominion
Government brutally excludes American
fishermen from Canadian ports" This
state of affairs still continues. The inhibi-
ton referred to by Secretary Manning re-
lates 10 the purchase of bait, ice and other
needed supplies and TO commercial privi-
leges. The United States imposes no such
disabilities upon Canadian vessels Of any
description, and We want to secure for our
fishermen the benefits Of reciprocity in Cana
dian oTts on this basis
Mr.. Nmmo proposes a peculiar remedy
for evils which lie pToclaims to exist. As
Canada now refuses TO give US privilege for
privilege, he proposes 10 offer that Govern
ment greater inducements to do what il
clearly ought to do under present trade re-
lations. As Canada will not give us the
use of Canadian ports in return for the use
of American ports, reciprocity proposes to
throw in something else which Canada
wants. Under the lawn hieh the advocates
of reciprocity propose 10 set up the readiesi
way for nation TO obtain concessions from
another nation is TO withhold privileges
which properly belong TO it, Canada with
holds from American vessels in Canadian
ports privileges which the United States ac-
cord Canadian vessels in American ports,
and we propose to buy the privilt ge that is
ours by right. Another way to secure privi-
leges for which we have given adequate
compen-at is 10 withhold the compensa-
ton until the privileges are accorded.
While Canada refuses to permit American
vessels to use Canadian ports in considera-
ton OF the use of American ports by Cana
dian vessels, we still permit Canadians to
ship their grain and other produce across
the United States free of duty. We also
permit subsidized Canadian transporta-
ton company to carry goods from one
American town to another by Canadian
route, in direct conflict with the principle
laid down in our navigation laws hundred
years ago. which still prevent foreign YES
sells from doing what the Canadian railroad
does without protest. The way TO get
reciprocity is to enforce it. If nation
wiihholds from us privileges which we ac.
cord to that nation. the privileges which we
have extended should be Withdrawn. The
United States has the power to compel
Canada 10 be just, but as yet has failed to
use it,

IN A DEsrEhATE STRAIT.

Buckley's morning organ permits one OF
its young men to say, When Supervisor
Pond took charge of the finances in January,
1883, he found the city in desperate strait.
In 1883, when Mayor Bartlett became the
head Of the city government, the treasury
was empty and there was a floating indebt-
edness of about $500, GOO. On the other side
of the account was a long list Of delinquent
taxes, large portion of which was owed by
gas and water companies. There were two
ways to lift the city out Of its desperate
straits. One was to issue bonds, tie other
to make the solvent debtors of the city pay
up. Mayor Pond, then Supervisor, voted
for bond issue Mayor Bartlett vetoed the
bond order Mr.. Pond got through the board.
The city was lifted out of its desperate strait
by the collection of delinquent taxes. The
bond remedy which Mr.. Pond advised was
not applied. The city of San Francisco may
have been in desperate strait in 1888. butts
condition could hardly be compared with
that of party organ which makes its candi-
date hero of finance on the strength ef a
recommendation TO issue bonds instead OF
collecting debts due it from responsible

hand there are towns in the Sierra counties
and in Nevada and Colorado in which lots
cannot be sold at any price. though twenty
years ago they were considered good prop
eTty.
Sangune spectators, who tumble over
each other in mad rage TO secure lots In
new cities at prices which will not be legiti-
mately reached for a generation or more,
serve purpose. They promote enterprise
and stimulate public Improvements. Most
of them are sooner or later landed high and
dry by the Gibbs and flows of speculation,
but they have the consolation of feeling in
their wreck that in the heyday of their pros
perty they assisted in anticipating the work
of development and left behind them sub
stantial memorials of their public spirit.
