But His Letter Is Kept Hidden and He

Some little excitement was caused in po-
lliical circles yesterday by the announce
ment that Christian Reiss. who was nomi-
mated by the Democrats for Supervisor in
the Fifth Ward, had decided to withdraw
from the race.
AS the story goes. Mr. Reiss wrote let
ter to a prominent member of the ReOrgan-
iZers just before the convention met saying
that he would not under any circumS tances
consent to the use of his name.
This letter, IL Is now claimed. was care
fully suppressed. and Mr.. Reiss was nomi-
mated.
Since that time Mr.. Ress has written a
second letter in which he asks that his name
be taken from the ticket.
This letter has been kept from the CON-
mittee, and it looks as IL Mr. Relss was not
in position to know what he is TO do.

SUGGESTIVE Il.

We copy from San Francisco coptem-
Dorary the following editorial paragraph:
10 bis annual address to the directory OF the
Southern Pacific Mr. Huntington expressed the
hope "that some organization VIII be formed In
this State for the systematic dissemination of
facts concerning the quality OF the soil and the
advantageous conditions OF climate that are
everywhere TO be found or the Pacific SlOpe.'
This Is rather hard on the California State Board
of II ade, all organization especially devoted to
The furtherance Of the objects indicated by Mr..
Huntington, and which has done some good
work since its formation in 1887. PERHAPS the
State Board Of Trade neglected to keep Mr..
Huntington posted regarding its work. but IL
seems incredible that he sho ud not have learned
Of its existence.
Mr.. Huntington probably thought if our
citizens could be induced to expend their
energies in inviting immigrants to Califor-
MIA that ii would cause them to forget, for
the time being. that they were striving to
obtain such freight rates for those who now
reside in the State as would enable them to
livefrom their earnings.

SUNDAY
CHINESE EXCLUSION.
APRIL 1892.

Our kilograms from Washington do not
create as favorable an impression relative
to the prospects Of the passage Of the Chi
nese exclusion bin as we could have wished.
1t is stated that even Senator Dolph is dis
pleased with the prospects, II seems that
Senator DOlph desired to have the present
exclusion law extended for the further
period of ten years. The inhabitants of this
coast have never been satifed with the
present exclusion law. They have simply
thought it better than 10 exclusion law, but
1t has permitted large numbers Of Chinese
to enter the United States. We do not
know what Senator Dolph can mean by
permitting 1t even to seem that lie is OPP
posed to an effective exclusion law. Sen
ator Dolph has made an energetic Senator
in the past, but he may be so connected with
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company that
he Is unable to act as his best judgment
would seem to dictate. We realize that the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company does
not Ike TO lose its Chinese trans pOrtatiOn
business. 1t occupies a position precisely
like that of the Central and Southern Pa
cifc Railroad companies. which want all of
the Chinese business they can obtain. Mr..
Stanford will probably absent himself from
Washington when the House exclusion
bill comes up in the Senate, but we
cannot imagine that Senator Dolph will fail
on that occasion. Mr.. Stanford has played
with the politics OF this State so long that
ii is doubtful IL he cares much for any
obliquity which may attach to him for
failing TO assist in the passage Of a Chinese
restriction bill. 1t ought to be understood,
however. at Washington by Republicans
that failure upon the part of the Senate to
assist in the passage Of an effective restTic-
tion law will deeply affect the future pros
poets Of that party upon this coast. Our
citizens are so deeply imbued with the idea
that the Chinese are Injurious to our civil
iZation that they will sacrifice party obliga-
tons to get rid Of them. 1t is not alone its
depressing effects upon the labor question,
but a question of morality and even degra-
dation; for, however much may be said in
relation to the advantages of civilzing the
Chinese, it is undeniable that wherever
they come In contact with our civilization
they contaminate it. No person who is
familiar with the practices of the Chinese
can doubt this assertion for moment. The
Inhabitants Of this coast, us we have sug-
gested, are likely to hold the Republican
party responsible for the action or non
action Of the United States Senate. If
nothing should be done by that body or if it
should persist in opposing the passage Of
an effective exclusion bill the blame will be
laid upon the Republican party, and ii Will
injuriously affect that party in several States
on this coast.

and the universal hope is that he may long
be spared, whether he remains attached to
politics or retires to private life. A po1it-
cal career is often far from happy, but it is
not one that allows human energies to stag

:. We may take with grain of salt the grue-
some story that Lieutenant Anastay. who
was executed yesterday morning in Paris
for horrible murder, had made a bargain
with his brother to dc what was possible to
show signs of consciousness after his head
was struck off. The story is venerable. A
doctor is said to have undertaken the feat.
He was wicked doctor, who had much to
atone for. and it was represented to him
that posterity would be grateful and would
perhaps bless his memory if he would brace
himself up to the effort of signifying by
winkng that he understood questions
bawled into his ear after the guillotine had
done its CHASTITY work. In repentant
mood the doctor consented to settle this
point OF consciousness for the expectant
scientific world. As soon as his head fell
IN the basket 1t was picked up and duly in
terrogated. The response was to be three
winks, and the eyes are said to have given
two OF them with conspicuous success and
TO have made brave effort TO supply tile
third wink. The truth of this story need
not be inquired into with rigid particularly.
Experiments OF this kind could be of no
value to the students of physiology or
anatomy. 1t is we'll known that after de-
capltation the eyes roll about spasmod-
eally, and if voluntary action were possible
1t could not be distinguished from involun-
tary movement.
D. The right of a municipal corporation to
grant exclusive franchises has received dis
tlnct Interpretation in a case just decided
by the Supreme Court Of Minnesota. A
franchise had been granted Louis IL.
Grieser TO establish water works, but his
service proving unsatisfactory the council
that granted him the franchise determined
TO set up water works Of its own. There
upon Grieser claimed damages. with the re-
suit that he is informed lie has no relief on
the ground that corporations cannot legally
grant exclusive franchises. This decision is
hailed with great satisfaction, and fore
shadows opposition projects of various
kinds in the public interest

TIL Il ARGUMENT I.

Our friends of the Record Union appear
to have undertaken a hopeless task, which
is nothing less than to convince the inhabi-
tants OF the interior-those who have fruit
and other products to send to market-that
high prices for freight is good thing for
them. So it tries 10 convince interior mer-
chants that by paying high freight charges
to railroads they will escape competition
from the outside world. Suppose the
Record Union should put the question to
some Of its friends ii they do not think IL is
q good thing for fruitraisers to pay all the
profts of fruit-raising to the railroads.

TIRE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.

Republican primaries for the election OF
delegates to the State convention take
place on the 23d of this month. There are
some features about this primary which are
attracting considerable attention in the
party. The executive committee of the
County Committee has promised a free
vote and a fair count This means simply
that peaceable Republicans may vote and
that their votes viii be counted as cast. In
recent years some uncertainties have at
tended the attempt to vote at primaries
of either party In the first place
voting has been attended with cons i'd
cradle personal risk. In the second place
there has been no reasonable assurance
that the result would be affected by any
pumber of votes that might be cast for other
Candidates than those on the bosses ticket
Under these circumstances the primary vote
has been light except as the baIlot-poxes
have been stuffed to procure certain results,
The twenty-five new members of the County
Committee appointed an executive commit
tee TO appoint inspectors at the coming pri-
mares. The leaders Of the rival factions
appoint one judge each. The judge in such
cases viii naturally be partisan, but the in
spectors should be impartial. 1t is their
duty TO see that the polls are open
to every qualified voter and that all
are counted as cast The executive COM
mittee will concentrate all their force
preserve order during the voting and to
insure correct returns. They are not in
terested as to the fractional outcome other
wise than that the faction which brings the
largest number Of legal voters to the polls
shall reap whatever advantage such success
may entitle them to. It is not expected that
under this arrangement either faction will
crush the other out. The Crimmips and
Kelly crowd will concentrate their forces in
their strongholds and thus undoubtedly Sc
cure a number of delegates In the State
convention. The Burns-WiIson faction
will. ii is expected, cover more ground.
There is less antipathy to the latter faction
than TO the former. so much so that il NAV
almost be said that a. the present time most
Republicans who do not act with the Grim
mins-Kelly people are counted against them.
1t remains to be seen il under the present
plan there Is chance for the respectable
elementof the party to obtain something
more than foothold liz tha convention.
The twenty-five and their executive CON-
mittee are pledged TO secure a fair vote and
a correct count. This is more than the
peaceable element in either party has been
confident Of for some years past
