THE UTOPIA DISASTER.

The details of the Utopia disaster are
narrowing and the feelings of the reader
are not soothed by the announcement that
the Captain has been arrested and held to
bail. while no proceedings appear to have
been taken against the officers of the battle
ship which wrecked him.
There is some uncertainty about the facts.
The night was dark, but not foggy; gale
was blowing and the sea was running too
high for boats to live without danger. II is
not known for certain whether the battle
ship AnsOn was at anchor or was in motion.
One story states that she was riding at an
Choir when the immigrant steamer under
full headway ran into her, impaling herself
on the war-ship'S ram. But another story
asserts that the battle-ship had tripped her
anchor and was drifting before the gale
when the Utopia crossed her bow, and the
man-oi-war struck her with her ram abaft
the funnel II this latter story be the cor
rect one the responsibility for the disaster
and for the loss of 562 lives rests upon the
officers Of the battle-ship. From the evi-
denee thus far adduced this theory of the
accident appears to be more likely TO be true
tnan the other.
These monstTOus battle-ships are perfectly
unmanageable in gale. We all remember
how a German man-of-war went drifting
helplessly round the harbOr of Apa in the
gale there, cOlliding with everything that
was afl0at and threatening every craft in
the harbor with destruction. Her officers
could not get steerage way ON her; she was
as uuwieldy as an iceberg. The Anson
may have been a similar menace to every
ihlng af0at in the harbor of Gibraltar. She
is a craft of 10000 tons displacement, or
more than twice the size of the City of
Peking. Eighteen-inch armor on her sides
must make her great monster, which, In a
heavy gale, neither steam nor sail can al
ways control. Such vessel in high wind
would probably drag her anchors, and it
would be natural for the Captain to hoist
them and put out in search Of sea room. Ii
seems likely that while doing so the Utopia
crossed his bows and he dashed into her,
tearing hole in her which caused her to
sink in five minutes.
These great battle-ships should not be
welcome IN harbors which are not perfectly
land-lGcked. Ii wind and sea are raging. it
is impossible to control vessels of such size
and weight in limited space, and wherever
they drift they spread devastation and DEATH
We have witnessed in this harbur the mis-
chief which may be done by a much smaller
craft getting adrift and dashing down among
the fleet Of small vessels at anchor. 1t is ap-
palling to reflect on the havoc which might
have ensued if the runaway ship had meas
ured 10000 tons.
For the credit OF the British Admiralty it
is 10 be hoped that searching inyestiga-
tion will be instituted into the circum-
stances of the Utopia disaster, and, if it
should be found that the Captain of the An
son was as blamewOrthy as the Captain of
the emigrant vessel. that justice win be done.
If it is necessary for the preservation of the
peace that monstrous engines of destruction
should be created and sent into peaceful
ports, they should be intrusted to sailors
who can handle them.

" STANFORD AND sTANFoKDIsaI.'

The Chronicle congratulates the Republi
can party and the people Of the State upon
The result of the Senatorial cont est. 1t de-
scribes that result as a victory over "Stan-
ford and Stanfordism." The Chronicle has
assisted to win similar victories for the
people before. But somehow it always hap
pens that the fruits Of victory remain with
Stanford. In this case a man has been
elected as Mr. Stanford's colleague for
whom Mr.. Stanford had declared a prefer
ence above all others. It is true Mr.. Stan
ford coupled this declaration with the as
surance that he did not intend to take a
part in the Senatorial contest, which declar-
alton was qualified by the suggestion that it
"might be well to see Stow" There was
considerable acting done in ths first days Of
the contest and at times the movements of
tie players were not easily comprehensive.
But the old coup which the late A. A. Sar-
gent had so much reason to remember came
in time and made all things clear. Members
Of the Legislature who we're pledged to one
uoNli"ht NCnt P044-lllSAi " ohotHOA NAtSh VuO
word came from the right source. The part
the Chronicle played in this triumph of
Stanfordism is characteristic OF that sheet.
Pretending to do one thing it helped with
all its might to do another. Having sue
ceeded in its betrayal of the people it now
asks the people to believe that they have
not been betrayed. Having helped to elect
Stanford's man to the Senate it adds insult
to the injury it has inflicted upon the people
by asking them to rejoice in the overthrow
Of Stanford and Stanfordism."

CANADA,s DEMANDS.

Professor Weldon. a prominent Conserva-
tive in the Canadian Parliament, has ex-
pressed the opinion that ''the time has now
come when England must choose between
abandoning Canada or agreeing to an impe-
rial tariff that will give Canadian products
preference in English markets in return
for preference to British manufactures in
Canadian markets" IL the newly elected
Conservative Parliament is prepared to
make this demand an impetus will be given
to the fair-trade cause in England. Cana
dian products cannot well be given prefer
ence in the English market without the
adoption of tariff which will subject the
products of all other nations to duties.
The question for England to consider will
be the comparative value Of the Canadian
market Is Canada likely to take goods
enough from England to compensate for the
disadvantages of discriminating against the
trade OF other countries? Such an arrange
me1t would clearly be for the advantage of
Canada. 1t would give Canadian farmers
certain advantage over American farmers
In the English market. The policy which
Professor Weldon suggests is not new, but
it has never been offered by the Conserva-
tive party to England as the alternative of
separation. Neither is it probable that Sir
John Macdonald will put the question to the
Imperial Parliament in that form. If he
should, the Conservative leader might be
informed that Canada is not yet in posi-
ton to lay dJwn the law to the mother
cnuntrv

HOW SENATORS MAY BE ELECTED.

When the Democratic State Convention
met last summer Stephen N. White intro
duced in the order of proceedings a resolu-
ton making it the duty of the convention to
name a candidate for Senator. The act Of
elec ing would remain as at present with
the Legislature, but the naming of candi-
date would be held as binding upon men,
bers OF that body. Mr White had an ambi-
ton to be Senator, but he knew that he
would stand no show of election even if his
party had a majority in the Legislature.
The Senatorial combination against him
was too strong to be overcome except by an
expression of popular will. Mr.. White, as
is well known, was induced to Withdraw his
resolution. The defeat of the Democratic
party made it a matter OF little consequence
whom that party might nominate for Sena-
tor. The election of Mr.. Stanford early in
the session of the present Legislature, and
the election of Nr. FELTON, more recently,
furnish all the evidence needed to show that
the Southern Pacific Railroad Company can
do about as 1t may please with 8 California
Legislature. To begin, there was not an
aspirant mentioned in any way prominently,
who had not worn or did not wear the rail
road collar. Mr. FELTON, was known to be
Mr. Stanford'S first choice, but Mr.. Estee's
candidacy did not inspire complete conf
dence that his election would mean indie
pendence Of the railroad company De
Young, by the grace of Crimmins. was al
lowed to take place among aspirants. but
his candidacy never became serious. AL
though willing and anxious to be serviceable
to the railroad, Mr.. Stanford mad other tools
which he preferred to handle. The people
saw, therefore, that not only was Mr.. Stan
ford able to name his associate, but that his
power is so great that no one appeared 70
dispute it. The simple and natural remedy
for this condition OF things is the selection
of State Convention next year pledged to
make a Senatorial nomination, and to re-
quire candidates for the Legislature to
pledge themselves, if elected, to support the
candidates named by the convention. 1t
may be said that this will transfer the hight
from the Legislature to the convention.
Fortunately we are likely to have ballot
law which permits an appeal from the
action of convention. If the convention
nominates a railroad candidate. Independent
candidates for the Legislature may be placed
on the official ticket, and the voters may
C hOose between the two. The State cannot
stand many more such Senatorial campaigns
as that just closed.

rnE r1rrY-CENT LIMIT.

The Legislature has apparently arrived at
a point al which the old proverb that :" 1t Is
as we'll to be hanged for stealing sheep as
for lamb" applies. Raying elected two
Southern Pacific Railroad Senators it is now
in a mood to disregard the pledge made to
keep appropriations down to the ffty-cent
limit. We do not suppose that it is Of any
use to appeal to the party feeling of the Re-
publican majority. The extreme probability
that the Republican party will be defeated
next year if the Republican Legislature dis
regards its pledge would not deeply affect
the average Republican boOdIer. A good
many of the men now making laws for US at
Sacramento have no use for party that
puts Il limit on expenditures.

s1LvER-pRoDUo1NG STATES.

Senator Powers of Montana is quite con-
tent with the action of the last Congress on
the silver question. He thinks the silver ad-
vocates made a mistake in trying to adopt
measure providing for the absolute free COIN
age of silver. The silver producing States
are, in his opinion, disposed to place too
much stress on the industrial side of the
question. Ii is just and proper that the prod
ucts OF any State should be protected, but
the interests of three or four States cannot
be allowed to control the financial policy of

the Government. Bimetallism is advocated
on the broad ground that it is good for the
whole country, not for the reason that 1t
creates demand for the products OF any
group of States. Senator Powers thinks that
the present law will eventually cause a
rise in the market value of silver to point
which will make free silver coinage possible
without disturbance of value.
