NOTE AND COMMENT.

John L. Pope has retired from the Sac
ramento TrddeSman and Arthur B. San
born has assumed the editorial manage
ment of the paper. Mr.. Sanborn was one
of the principal organizers of the Fed
Grated Trades in this city and is compe-
tent to make the paper entirely accept
able to the members of the various labor
organizations and wage-earners in gen
eral.
The Chico Enterprise is evidently pub
lished in community where enterprise
and merit are appreciated. That paper
has just issued very handsome illus
trated edition, devoted specially to the
interests of Chico and Butte County, and
amount of the advertising space taken
shows that the people of Chico compre-
hend the importance of the work the
Enterprise is doing. The value of such
a paper to a community cannot be esti-
mated. Editor Chalmers is to be congrat-
ulated on this exhibition of enterprise.

SECRETARY RUsK of the Department
of Agriculture, after vindicating Ameri-
can cattle against the charge from foreign
sources that they are so frequently dis
eased as to be unfit for export for meat
food. threatens retaliation in this very
plain language:
Unless we can secure from the British Gov
ernment the removal of the unfriendly re-
strictions now bearing so hardly upon our
cattle trade, shall feel it to be my duty to
suggest the rigid enforcement of the law now
in existence prohibiting the import into the
United States of all live animals D law which
has only been suspended as a matter of friend
ship TO foreign Governments. That we have
far more Justification for the exclusion from
the United States OF all animals coming from
Great Britain and its dependencies than they
have for the interpoSition of any obstacles to
our cattle exports from the United States is
shown by the recent report Of Professor
Brown, the Veterinarian OF the British Privy
Council, who admits in the piaineSt manner
that no hopes exist in that country of ever alb
solutely suppresSing pleuro-pneumonia, and
shows, indeed. that such measurable success
as he has faint hopes OF attaining in the con-
troll Of it is to be obtained only ny methods

Convinced of the Merit of the Reform
Ballot System.
Sacramento Tradesman, Nov. 23d.
Our citizens will have at the school
election a chance to indulge in little
practice in the Australian ballot system.
We believe they will approve Oft. When
the law was under consideration in the
Legislature we were skeptical as to its
merits and to its alleged superiority over
the system then in vogue. but after wit
Messing its practical working at the recent
election held in the State of Nebraska are
frank to acknowledge that our judgment
was in error. The old system in use in
California contained many excellent
features, and strictly enforced would have
proved reasonably satisfactory law, but
the trouble was that no serious attempt
was ever made to enforce its provisions
with the required strictness. The great
provision of the new law is the leaving of
the voter absolutely alone for space of
time necessary to prepare his ballot, thus
atfording him an opportunity to vote his
inmost convictions free from the super
vision Of his employer and away from
the dictation of any person whatsoever.
Who can doubt that under these circum-
stances freer expression of the will of
the voter can be obtained than under any
system previously devised?

IT would seem from accounts so far re-
ceived that the recent great earthquake
in Japan devastated wider area of coun-
try than any seismic disturbance in re-
corded history. The loss of life in these
disasters are usually exaggerated at
first. It is reported that 1t will reach
5000 in this case; if we assume
this to be exaggeration, still. as some
thousands were seriously wounded
and many thousands wholly deprived of
sustenance, the ultimate loss of life by
death of wounded and by starvation
may reach the figure now claimed. 1t is
a fearful disaster; in death and destruc-
ton Of property it is awful to contem-
plate, and leaves nothing to be said ex-
cept words of pity and sympathy for the
unfortunate people of the afflicted sec
ton.

A TOKEN CURRENCY,

BENJAMIN HARRISON announces him
self III favor of an honest dollar, as
we have it under our present laws, and
JERRY SIMPSON wants to know which
of our dollars is the honest one-the
gold dollar, the silver dollar, the treas
ury note, the silver certificate or the
national bask note. Seuator SHERMAN
lifts his voice in praise of Republican
currency legislation, because it keeps
gold and silver at parity by pledge
to redeem one with the other on de-
mand; and Senator STEWART wants to
know what is the use of buying silver
to coin dollars out of when they have no
more intrinsic value than paper would
have.
The government now purchases tons
of silveriore and melts it into money.
Weighed by the gold standard its dollars
are worth less than eighty cents apiece.
They do not circulate in the East, but
in the West everybody has to take them
and load his pockets with their incon-
venient bulk. The only way in which
they are made to pass for the amount
named on their face is by the govern
pIOiuloC W COHhcIG lutIl IEIO
gold if any one cares to present them
and ask the exchange. But would not
paper dollar pass in the same way if
the government should promise to re-
deem it on demand in coin of a dollars
weight?
We are not yet on a specie basis sim
ply because our money is made out of
precious metals. Our currency is fiat
currency, based on confidence in the
stability of our government, but is sued
in an artificial and conventional volume,
without relation to the needs of trade
or the demands of commerce. The free
coinage of silver may not be the wisest
device for landing us on a stable foun-
dation where a dollar of money will
mean dollar Of value, irrespective of
anybody's promise or solvency; but its
dangers could not be greater than those
OF the present method, under which our
currency is nothing but token money,
with little more actual worth than the
greenback which fell more than fifty
per cent below gold in the hour of doubt
and confusion.

admit neither one nor the other, whether
the season be summer or winter. Ar
tificial lights are needed at all times, and
will be needed still more as new stands
are put in the vault to hold the volumes
which are daily increasing in num-
Der. If electricity were used for the
purpose the effect would not be so bad;
but score Of gas jets burning in dark
room, where as many men and women
are working hour after hour In the most
careful and laborious sort of toll, con-
sumo the oxygen with the fatalest re-
suit. Anybody entering the place for
moment will admit that the present ar
rangement is seriously defective. Mr..
HAAS idea of substituting glass for
the stone wall towar the staircase
would be an improvement, but so ex-
pensive one that it is not likely to be
made at once. But the introduction of
electric lights instead of the gas jets
would be neither. difficult nor costly.
The people who have to use the room
would be quite unanimous in favor of
this change, and it seems a thoroughly
practicable one which might be brought
about by little agitation.

SENATOR DAVIS AT WORK,

The important news comes from down
the river that Senator DAVIS has been
getting in great, solid licks of states
manship during his present visit to the
national capital, and has secured the
appointment of loyal Republican to
the janitorShIp of the public building at
Winona at salary of S720 a year.
Nothing is more timely than work of
this sort. and if followed up by similar
achievements at Fergus Falls. Mankato,
Sleepy Eye and other places in the
state JOEL HEATWoLE will be complete.
ly robbed of his thunder and the hot bat
teries of criticism which he has been
pouring on our senior senator will be
silenced. There is some feeling that
scrubwomen in the postoffice building
at Grand Rapids, in Itasca county.
have not been selected with proper
regard to the party interests, and that
the claims of loyal workers were not
fairly considered when they were hired.
Similar complaints are heard from
points in Kandiyohi and Beltram i
counties, and it is to be hoped that Mr..
DAVIS will look all these matters up
before he return to Minnesota, and see
that strict justice is DONE 1t is of COM
paratively little Importance how one of
our representatives voted on the Nc
KINLEY bill. the election law or the ap-
preparations OF the Fifty-first congress:
but If he wants to hold his seat and
comply with the lofty standards of fit
ness set by Mr.. HEATwoLE and his fell
low leaders, he must see that the dollar
a-day offices are distributed with dis
cretlon and wisdom. 1t is because of
duties of this sort that we need men of
eloquence and learning to represent us
in congress.
