A London paper says: What the Wash

Government may be pOwerless to perform
in the case of the Valparaiso mob" The

in the fact that men were killed in each case,
they bear no points of resemblance. In
New Orleans there was no movement against
a nationality. The movement was against
an organized band Of outlaws, whose crimes
had terrorized the city and corrupted the
courts of justice. If the persons forming
this band had been Americans, English,
French or Germans the result would hav
been the same. In Valparaiso the move
ment was against Americans as Americans.
There Is no claim that these Americans had
committed an otfense against the laws or
the peace of the city. They were sailors

harbOr, who had been restrained from their
usual privileges by the hostile feeling known
TO exist against Americans. 1t may be said
that the captain of the Baltimore, knowing
this feeling TO exist, should not have allowed
the men to 20 ashore. On the other hand, it
may be said that the captain Of an American
man-of-war should not deny his men shore
privileges that other man-Of-war crews en-
jOyed from fear Of consequences. The feel
ing that prompted the attack is as offensive
to Americans as the attack itself, though, OF
course, feeling is not the cause OF action
that outrage Is.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Ex-Governor Foraker. In his campaign address
es In Ohio, bitterly denouHces the Democratic
gerrymander whereby Republican Ohio sends
fifteen Democrats and six Republicans to Con-
gress. As showing the necessity of the Repub-
llcans Fighting that wrong lie declares they
have enacted a law In Michigan which provides
that only two electors shall be chosen at large,
and from each Congressional district. A
similar bill was introduced IN The last Ohio Leg
islature, but il was not enacted as a law be-
cause The people became SO aroused that
they realized that in the event OF its
enactment the Stale would go oyerwhelm-
iugly Republican. Action was therefore
deferred and delayed until The next Legislature,
which they hope will be Democratic. If that
should become law as become law 1t VIII II
the Democrats get control Of The next General
Assembly, then Ohio next year will give TO the
Republican candidate for the Presidency but
eight OF the twenty-thfee electoral votes. No
matter what his majority In the State may be-,
that would be the utmost we could do In other
words. We would have fifteen less votes in the
electoral college than we are entitled to- and our
Democratic friends would have fifteen more
added on to their side, a difference OF thirty,
enough 10 make, along with what they have
done IN Michigan, practically test OF the Presl-
dency. Therefore, 1 say, on this election de-
pend more important events and consequences
Than have depended on any results in Ohio since
the war closed. 1t means not only that we shall
have Republican 10 succeed Senator Sherman;
1t means not simply that We shall have in Con-
gress len more votes than we now have, but that
We shall in November determine the Presidency

The Chronicle says: Some Of our con-
temp0raries are evidently very much afraid
that the Traffic Association IS not going to
be a failure" Evidences of the truth Of
this assertion have been aceumuatins for
some time. When the Chronicle began to
advise the interior cities not to act with San
Francisco, the fact became apparent that at
, least one of our contemporaries was very
much afraid that the Traffic Association
was not going to be a failure. 1t has never
been difficult for the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company to get its IDEAS before the
public. To say nothing of its very able
organ at Sacramento. the Chronicle, with
its larger circulation and its pretended indie
pendence, is believed to have been ready at
all times to serve as the mouth-piece of the
Southern Pacific Company for constdera-
ton. The business this year was not well
managed. The Record Union led off with
an elaborate argument going to show that
the city and the State could not work to-
gether. They had, the railroad organ said,
no common object in view. Somewhat to
the surprise of the public. the Chronicle fol-
lowed in day OF two in the same vein.
Among the other apDrehensio MS that it
gives expression to is that the appointment
Of country members on the Executive Com
mittee will create such dissension in the
committee that the railroad company will
''play off one part of the State against the
other" THE CALL has already stated that
the interior of the State is quite as much in
terested in getting relief from exorbitant
transportation charges as the city Of San
Francisco. The interior has bitterly COM
planned of the rule adopted BY the Southern
Pacific Company of charging for moving
product to market all the value of the
product will bear. There is now an oppor-
tunity, with a very slight suOordinatipn of
local interests, to obtain relief from the
evil complained of. But the city and State
must Cooperate to produce the desired re-
suits. Neither one can do the work so
effectually alone.

BETTER PRosPECTs.

The efforts which were made few days

of the State against this city, in respect to
the efforts to save our people from exees-

the eyes of the community are beginning 10

that the prosperity of the State depends
upon orchardists. and indeed all classes of
producers. being able to send their products
to the East so as TO leave them some
profits. Low freights to the Atlantic States
mean profits to farmers. Low freights for
merchants on this Coast mean cheaper sup

equitable the State would at once enter upon

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE 2

For some time past money has been used
in our political conventions in this city to
such an extent that most of the important
offices were given to worthless candidates.
and these have plundered the people. We
were assured with the most brazen effront-
cry that it was legitimate to use money in
conventions to thrust into Office men who
were usable People have now, however,
begun TO ask themselves if it is any better
to have their officials sold body and soul be-
fore an election than afterward. To pur-
chase the nomination before convention
is said not to SAVIOR of bribery, but after an
election it is bribery. Are not the effects
of such purchase of nominations just as bad
as actual bribery for the public at large?
