THE Columbian season is being very
fittingly inaugurated at New York and in
other cities this week. This ushering in
of the anniversary period began on Sun
day with church services, and while
reaching spectacular and demonstrative
hight to-day at New York, it will really
not eliminate until the celebration by
the school-children on the 21st inst. That
event will, in all senses, be the most
marked and appropriate. That the latest
generation, standing in the midst of the
best civilization of the age, upon CONT
nent an unconquered wild in Columbus
day, should be the chief figure in the
celebration of the anniversary of the dis
covery by the navigator, whose genius
gave to US America, is the fittest and
most suggestive of all the features of the
anniversary celebrations. This is, after
all, the greatest and best Of all the pro-
ducts of time and liberty-the system of
education that assures to every human
being born to our soil or adopted to it,
cultivation of his intellectual faculties,
and fitness in some degree to take place
among the thinking and civilized people

A CONTEMPTIBLE TRICK.

The projection of the Peoples party
into the California campaign this year is
made one of the schemes of the Demo
cratic machine. In fact, the tickets of the
Peoples party are being made instru-
ments to aid the California Democracy;
they are tenders to the Democratic ma
chine, which is playing to get all Repub-
licans it can wheedle into the Peoples
into the side-show is vote lost to the Re-
publican party and gained by the Demo-
cracy. In this way the latter hopes to Sc
cure Democratic United States Senator
from California and thus promote the
revolutionizing of that body, in which
the Republicans now have but trifiing
majority.
Thus, we have positive information that
in some of the counties-and Monterey is
one of them-an agreement has already
been entered into between the leaders of
the Democracy and the Peoples party,
that the former shall support the latter's
candidate for the Assembly; in return the
Democrats are TO have the support of the
Peoples party for the Democratic candi-
date for Senator. while the support of
both shall be given to the Democratic
nominee for Congress. In this manner
the Democrats hope to insure in each case
8 vote for their party in the Legislature,
and to neutralize Republican vote.
The Peoples party leaders are conscious
that they cannot elect United States
Senator; they are therefore willing to
make trade with the Democracy that
will give them some foothold in the Legis-
lature. This trade is. of course, at the ex-
pense of the Republicans. OF course this
is low down machine politics unadulter-
ated: it is bold-faced and scandalous; has
not in it a single element of decency and
defense, and is a mere coalition for di-
vision of spoils 1t is to be accomplished,
if at all, by calling off and into the Peo-
pies party ranks all the Republicans
who can be unwittingly warped into the
scheme.
The time was when conscience so Tar
entered into the affairs of the nation that
such bargains would have been alb
horred and repudiated by all decent men;

WANTED, TOMORROW.

Sacramento can cast $500 honest votes
on a stirring election day. Tomorrow
her people ought to cast 5000 of these
votes ''for the levee bonds" The reasons
for large vote are perfectly clear to
every man who will pause to think upon
the effect it will have.
Therefore artisan, banker, merchant,
printer, binder, clerk, laborer, teamster,
landlord, tenant, every one, without
exception, take time enough to go to
the polls and vote o-morrow. Do this
because, while costing you nothing, it
will visit benefits upon the city money
cannot measure.
Of course the bond proposition will
carry; OF course the two-thirds vote will
be had for it; but that is not enough.
There should be so large and emphatic a
vote that its record will for all time
shine in honor of the new era upon
which Sacramento enters with the adop-
ton of the proposed improvement.
This is so far from being exaggerated
or horid, that it is demonstrate as cold
fact. For instance, what would be the
effect if it were sent over the wires to-
morrow night that the levee improve
ment proposition had been voted down ?
How would it affect values? How would
i operate upon the public mind outside
of Sacramento?
But suppose there is cast tomorrow
1900 or 5000 votes, and that instead
of barely two-thirds being affirmative,
the vote is practically unanimous, what
will be the effect upon values. trade,
credit, public thought, public spirit. cap
ital, enterprise, building, etc.?

nowadays, under the dissolute doctrine
that all is fair in politics, such compacts
are held to be rather shrewd tricks than
the downright frauds that they are. There
is no distinction to be drawn in morals
between obtaining votes by false pre-
tense, and by like pretense swindling one
OF his money or goods. If principle un-
derlald the methods the Democracy, and
IL common consistency prevailed in the
Peoples party, the first would go down
with flying colors and refusing to trade
OFT Its arms and legs for the sake of graf
flying the lust for high station, and the
Peoples party would never consent to
sacrifice single thing that will give the
Democracy, its chiefenemy, an advantage;
If the leaders were true to their declara-
tons they would never coalesce with them
for share of the spoils.
We do not apprehend that the people of
California will submit to any political
trickery of the sort indicated. Honor
