EDITORIAL NOTES.

There are few local mercantile firms" says
the Grocer aud Country Merchant of this city,
(which have not been losers from theft or EN-
bezzement by trusted employees, and yet low
seldom are such offenders prosecuted. In most
cases, either from sentimental considerations or
from lack OF faith In juries-upOn which in
criminal cases there seems to be always one or
Two mushy philanthropSts-the matter Is COM
promised or hushed up. The effect OF this Is
what might be expected, and many clerks and
statesmen 60 wrong knowing that similar Offend
ers have escaped punishment" Attention Is
then called 10 a New York case, In which
bOOk-keeper who got away With 100000 was sen
teuced 10 serve seven years in prison, the Judge
holding that the culprit was entitled 20 less
clemency than the unfortunates arralgned from
day to day, for he had had every advantage in
life while they have had almost none. The
article finishes with the conclusion that 1t would
be well for the interest of merchants and honest
clerks If the same uncompromislng spirit pre-
vailed among employers and Judges III all large
commercial cities.
The prominent part The Australian ballot VIII
play in The November elections may be gathered
from tile fact that all but seventeen States have
adopted II III some form or another. The seven
teen States are said TO be Alabama, Colorado,
Florida, Georgia, idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Louisiana. Mississippi Nevada, North
Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South
Dakota, Texas and Virginia. The next Legis
lature OF Kentucky Is likely under the new Con
stilutlon to adopt such law, and Iowa may join
her sister States in The coming year. How
rapidly the reform movement has spread In spite
OF the bosses opposition IS shown by The fact
that the Australian ballot was first tried In this
country in october, 1889.

appointment of special agent, derived his
sobriquet from his long continued and earnest
efforts skeptcal foreigners that Indian corn is
good 10 eat. Entertaining the phllanthropi-
cal idea that the half f-starved poor OF Europe

benefited by an Increased foreign demand, he

foreigners have caught on TO the idea.

THE COLONEL
CHANGES LUCK.
Oakland Changelings Easy Win.
ners Yesterday.
A Game With Little Life Played in the Fog.
Rough Experience of an Ex-
0aklander.

Colonel T. Proprietor Robinson has
amused himself this season engaging and
releasing players. Up to date he has had
forty-seven on the roll, the forty-seventh
being young man by the name of O'Nell.
The forty eighth viii make his appearance
to-day in the person of Lang. Both players
this year constituted battery for Seattle,
where ONeill pitched half of the now cele-
brated twenty-five inning game.
Speaking of the forty-eight players. some
of them have had narrowing time with the
Beau Brummel of the Oaklands, an instance
in point being the case of Decker. This
young man played first base, and the
Colonel, with his usual sang froid, sent on
ticket to induce Mr.. D. to live in Oakland.
After some delay the young man arrived,
was met by Tipperary O'Neil and escorted
to the grounds. Robinson met the two at
the gate, was introduced, and informed
Decker that his services were not needed.
A ball-payer signed, brought 1000 miles
from home and not given a chance to see
whether tine diamond was skinned or one of
grassi Surely that is an experience
1t is getting too late in the season to re-
lease players, so the proprietor is amusing
himself shifting the positions of his men.
Yesterday Carroll went to first base on ac-
count of poor throwing arm, Power to
SSCO0l anu CdHJIluUu 10 center. Inc CUdlSe
worked well. Balsz pitched for the team.
and with the exception of the second and
ninth innings was not hit with any effect.
Huston commenced for Sacramento, but at
the end of the fourth inning he went TO
third base. Parrot entered the box and Nc
Hale retired from the game. All three of
the pitchers were wild, possibly on account
of the dead-arm liniment, in the shape of
fog, which was coming over the hills. Par
rott did his work in manner which would
indicate that had he started the game it
would hav0 been an easy victory for Sacra-
mentO.
The detailed description of the run-getting
would be wearisOme, yet it would be proper
to say that in the second inning, with two
men out and no runs scored, Hassamer made
a wide throw to second, which was directly
responsible for four of Oakland's runs. In
the second inning Sacramento made six runs
on five hits one base on balls, a sacrifice
and two errors.
ReiIz played a nice game at second, max
ing two pretty stops over the bag and retir-
ing the runners at first. Carroll ran bases
splendidly and Reitz and GoOdenough batted

This morning the same teams play at
Emeryyille, with Borchers and hoffman as
pitchers, and this afternoon at Haght
street, when Parrot will pitch for Sacra-
mento and the Colonel will introduce his
new battery, ONeil and Lang. Following
is the score:
The morning call., 1891-10-25
THEY ALL DENY IT.

Ignatius Donnelly denies the truth of the
accusation that he sold his vote while
member of Congress or at any other time.
Mr.. c. P. Huntington also denies that he ever
gave Donnelly a consideration for his vote.
It is expected that Elwood Bruner will
deny that he received money for his vote as
a member Of the California Legislature.
These denials, whether truthful or not, show
some advance in the moral sense of the
public. There was period when boodlers
rather gloried in such transactions as are
now repudiated. They would glory in them
still if they had not discovered a moral
sense in the public which renders such acts
fatal Now tnst boOdlers hasten to get in
out of the rain there is hope that the shower
will not have been in vain. The fight
against Doodle has been the more desperate
in this State from the high social aud poll
tical standing Of some of the boodlers.
While the men who have sold their votes
have generally been low enough in the
social scale the money for the purchase OF
votes is pretty well known to have come
from high sources. There is apparently a
time coming in which the fact will be
recognized that high position and great
wealth do not shelter criminals.
The morning call., 1891-10-25
AGAINST TAMMANY.

Mr. Fassett, the Republican candidate for
Governor of New York, is making an es-
pecial fight against Tammany. He devotes
a good deal of time ID an explanation of its
methods. In this war upon the Demo-
cratic organization that appears to have
swallowed up the Democratic party in New
York, Mr. Fassett is supported by Lieu
tenant-GoYernOr Jones, who is now acting
Governor of the State in the absence of Gov
ernor Hill. Mr.. Jones, whose Democracy
has never been lmpeached, said in a recent
letter: "The Democratic party of the State
of New York is to-day under the undisputed
control of men whose names are recorded in
the annals Of cIime-men who few years
ago were literally begging their bread or
obtaining precarious existence by less
honorable means, who now possess large
wealth"
In New York, as in this city. men who
had no scruples as to the means by which
nominations and elections we're obtained
have crowded decent men from public life.
Offices sought and obtained by such means
are regarded by men who hold them as
possession to be turned to the best possible
advantage. Hence the sale of votes for
measures which enrich individuals at the
expense of the public. Tammany will make
a great effort to elect Flower; and while it
will undoubtedly roll up large majority in
the city, there is hope Of bigger Repub
lican majority in the interior of the state.

THE TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM.

The combination of transportation COM
pan les for the purpose, among other things,
of preventing the use of the natural chan
nels OF travel has directed public attention
to the question of the Government owner
ship of transcontinental rairoai beds. his
is looked upon as an ultimate resource in
case Of the failure of other means of briug-
ing the transportation companies under the
law. THE CALL said on Saturday: The
railroads which stretch from San francisco
to Omaha could be easily taken possession
of by the General Government aud traffic
could be permitted on them as traffic is per-
mitted on canals" The ownership of the
railroads does not impose upon the Govern
ment the necessity of engaging in the trans
portation business. The road beds may be
open to public use for q toll sufficient to
keep them in good condition, upon conditions
to ensure order in running trains. The Gov
ernment will need no other employees than
the road force TO ensure compliance with
rules and regulations. Under this system
a single shipper, or a number OF shlppers,
could send train to Omaha at cost. Com
petition governs prices in other departments
of business and should in transportation.
II farmer is subject to competition in the
sale of his products, but is the victim of
combination to secure artificial rates Tor the
transportation Of his goods to market, he
will be undersOld by producers not in the
power of the combination. That rates of
transportation from California East are
artificial is demonstrated By the known fact
that the railroad combination pays owners
OF water route lines not TO compete in the
transportation of products between certain
points. There is no desire anywhere 10 deal
harshly with the railroads. There is de-
termination, however, TO compel the rail-
roads TO deal fairly with the public. In
three or four years the mortgage the Gov
ernment holds on the Central Pacific and
Union Pacific becomes due. The Govern
ment may take the property for the debt,
assuming the first mortgage or it may grant
the companies an extension of time. If the
roads had been run in the interest of the
public there would, perhaps, be no general
objections TO an extension of time But
when excessive rates are charged to enable
the nominal holders to pile up colossal
private fortunes, an argument is furnished
why the Government should take pos

SHALLOW ARTIFICE.

One or two Of our newspaper eontempo-
raries say the interests of the interior of the
State are so different from those Of San
Francisco that the two cannot act together.
1t seems rather shallow artifce to tell the
inhabitants of the interior that they do not
need cheap }reights. Railroads. by eombi-
nation, have continued to put such excessive
freight charges upon most of our products
that there is left but little profit to the pro-
ducer. II the farmers could obtain good
prices for what they raise we are quite sure
such boon would asst San Francisco.
This being the case San Francisco is deeply
interested in having something done; not
only for herself, but for the interior of the
State as well-and, as for that, for the en-
tira Coast

A GEoWING IMPRESSION.

The Chronicle says there are many good
people who would like to take part in such
a work as the Traffic Association has in
hand, whose bump of caution is so highly
developed that they want to be assured of
the success of movement before they ven-
ture to come in. And then the guileless
Chronicle adds: 1T is such people as these
that the Traffic Association must have
in mind in its preliminary work" The i'm
preston that the Chronicles editorials on
the Traffic Association are written at the
corner of Fourth and Townsend streets
gains force with each issue of that journal
The railroad company wants the Traffic
Association to be cautious-very cautious.

CATCHING AT sTRAws.

The New York Times. which is now sup
porting the Tammauy ticket with consider
able vigor. considers a large Democratic
ratification meeting in Brooklyn as an
augury of Democratic success. 1t says that
such a meeting will discourage Mr.. Fassetts
supporters more than they will be willing to
admit Brooklyn has a million or more of
people, mostly Democrats. Admitting that
The hall In which the meeting was held will
accommodate 5000 people. the fact that that
number was in attendance does not afford
strong grounds for the hope that Mr.. Fas-
sett's supporters will be discouraged by it.

A QUEER DEFENSE.

Candidate Fassett must be doing good
work in New York. Tammany has replied
to his attack by going back to the time of
General jackson and William l.. Marcy, and
showing that in their day those distin-
guished Democrats thought well of Tam
many. Tammany's answer may be COM
pared to the plea of middle-aged man
when charged with specific ofense, who
shows that in his b0yhood he attended
church aud the Sunday-school.
