In the entire history of the human race
there is not single instance in which
cruelty effected genuine reformation.
1t can crush but it cannot improve. 1t
can restrain, but, as soon as the
restraint is removed, the subject is worse

Illinois the Battle Ground.

The nomination Of a candidate for vice
president from this state indicates the
selection of linois as the battle ground
for the west, TO the displacement Of Indi-
ana, remarks the Freeport Bulletin. This
change Of tactics is something that should
have been adopted long ago. With the
same amount of attention from the ma
tional democracy that has been directed
to Indiana, Illinois would for years have
been democratic state. Although only
divided by an imaginary line, there is a
great difference in the characteristics of
the population of the two commonwealth.
One is broad-minded and cosmopolitan,
the other narrow and provincial. Indi>
ana has been regarded as the pivotal
state for so long period that its voters
have lost sight of sentiment and have
largely come to look at politics in q
commercial light, and to expect their re-
ward either in offices or hard cash. The
voters of Illinois have not yet become
corrupted, and God grant they never
may. They regard the triumph eff the
principles they profess as sufficient re-
ward. They are more open TO argu-
ments addressed to their reason and less
to the argument of S. bills, line OF
electioneering in which the democrats
are always at disadvantage, as they
have no protected manufacturing barons
to fry the fat out of and no horde of
well paid federal officials to bleed. ILL
nois has also larger electoral vote to
compensate for an accidental defeat in
one OF the southern states, which nearly
happened in West Virginia four years
ago and is apt to happen in any cam
paign.
The democrats of Illinois enter upon the
canvass under the most encouraging cir
cumstsnces. They have local issue
which will attract thousands of voters
who are naturally republicans. They have
q national issue in reduced taxation upon
the necesssries Of life and greater free
dom of trade, which appeals with equal
force to the theorist, the merchant and
the lsborer. They have the candidate Of
their choice for president, for whom
every delegate from Illinois voted. Last
ly, thereS has been placed upon the
national ticket man from our own state
whose very name is calculated to arouse
democratic enthusiasm-the one promi-
nent member of the Cleveland admins
tration who did not seem to be satisfied
when he had secured an Office for himself
but considered that his fellow democrats,
no matter how humble they might be,
had just as much right to the offices held
by the republicans as he had himself.
Airs well in the prairie state.

NOMINATE FOREMOST MEN.

The Republican Convention about to
assemble in this city should nominate as
Presidential Electors well known and
foremost men of the Republican party.
1t cannot afford to present to the people
ticket of unknown men, men without
prominence before the people or in the
party. They should be such men as
voters viii instantly recognize as repre-
sentative Republicans.
For instance, Ex-Governor George C.
Perkins should be placed at the head of
the ticket, and it should be fortified by
choice from among men of distinction in
the party and prominence in State polit-
ical history, such as Morris NJ. Estee,
Horace Davis, Robert McMurray, l.. NJ.
Foulke, Henry Gage, j. A. Loutitt, n.
ID. RideoUt, John II. Jewett, Obed Har-
vey and other real, substantial leaders of
the Republican party and representatives

Let US state just what Magee's brilliant
corruscation of new ideas is-cheap ex-
cursions to local points, one cent mile
trips out of San Francisco to rural cities
and towns, and cheap fare excur-
sions to some more distant points. Now.
as q matter Of fact, cheap excursions are
run, and were run before Magee emerged
from obscurity. This town-lot mans
grasp of the development of industrial
resources is the measure of the repre-
sentative San Francisco idea of the best
method of State building. He has be-
come crusted in the business of selling
lots for more than he pays for them and
OF poeketing commissions on barter and
dicker, and, therefore, has the effronterv
to think that he is something more
than real estate dealing carbuncle ON

of the growth of country, but to such a
conception of truth the Mr.. Magee class
of reasoners never rise. The profound
philosophy Of running excursions from
San Francisco to San Jose fol. so cents as
a means of inducing immigration and
stimulating State growth could emanate
only from a brokers' shop, where people

What industry would 50-cent excur-
sions between San Francisco and San
Jose encourage? What inducement would
they be to immigration? How would
they serve to attract brain or Drawn. can
ital or skill and human energy to the
State? Now if such excursions are worth
anything they ought to have borne fruit
long ago, since for years, as everyone
knows, the railroads have run regular
Sunday excursions during the excursion
season to Monterey and other places, to
the towns and counties all about San
Francisco, and scores of excursions have
been sent out long distances at the lowest
rates throughout the State. Not one OF
them ever has or ever will create single
industry; not one of them ever has or
ever viii add fraction of force to the
process of State building.

Unfortunately in this age of thought
lessness, this whole case of Magee and his
cheap excursions into rural parts, to the
terror of peaceful suburban residents, is
illustrative of the impoverished and weak
conception which vast body of the peo-
pie of San Francisco have of the source
of growth, the power Of true strength and
the causes which operate to produce
growth. Here is Thomas Magee, who has
so long dealt in town lots that he is pos
sessed of the insane idea that he is a lead
ing thinker, projecting proposition upon
the plane of public activity, that would
make the cheapest clerk in Secretary
Rusk's department blush for shame; and
yet great many papers quote Magee on
cheap excursions without stopping to
discover that his idea is veriest non
sense
If Mr.. Magee does not know it, he
ought to inform himself of the fact, that
the excursions which during the early
part of May run out of all the cities of the
country, and carry all the hoodlums and
chippies, are fair illustrations of what
cheap excursions such as he suggests will
do for country. The truth is, that the
activity of the chippy and hoodlum in
moving about from one place to another,
and in filling up cheap excursions from
cities, is about the highest conception
which Mr.. Magee and his kind of super
fetal thinkers appear to have Of the forces
underlying the industrial and commercial
frabric of the State.
1t is such sickly proffer of advice as this
of Magee's running riot in such muggy
brains as illuminate the columns of the
CdJ as make California a laughing-stock
for the people of the East. who know
what true timber in State building is.
The reasoning to which Magee commits
himself is absolutely childish; if he is
not ashamed when he reflects upon it, it
is because he is insensible to the ridicu-
lous, and SO plated with egotism as to be
impenetrably proof against shafts of the
commonest economic truths.

MAGEE,s EXCURSIONS.

InoIllaS Alagee IS a real estate broker in
San Francisco, who proposes to build
the State by cheap local excursions out of
that city. He has grown money fat upon
the traffic between others in city lots.
The horizon of his view of economics is
evidently bounded by outside lot trans
actions. His success in this direction has
inflated him with the preposterous idea
that he really comprehends State build
ing, and has some faint knowledge of the
sources and springs of civilizing pro-
cesses.
This man, like many another who has
dabbled in corner lots, imagines that
therefore he comprehends how State
grows. He is probably eaten up with the
conceit that real estate broker is force
in the growth of a country; and that be-
cause he has bought and sold lots for
others on fat percentage he has helped
the country to grow, when in fact he has
no more idea Of how country rises from
Juvenility to State manhood than he has
OF the movements of the asteroids. Men
of his order, who peddle lots and pocket
margins, bear about the same relation to
State building that the fly on the coach
wheel has to the force that moves the
vehicle.
Ignorance may have its privileges, but
stupidity has no right to inflict such in
sutterable twaddle upon a community as
this city real estate agent visits through
the San Francisco Bulletin upon reading
Intelligence. 1t is not at all difficult to
understand why the San Francisco Call
should indorse and approve Magee's
ideas; it has the art of doing the TOM
foolery act to order on moments notice.
No wonder, then, that it applauds Thos.
Magee when he writes that he "can't for
the life of him see why the Southern Pa
cific should stand in its own light" He
then points out that Denver, Colorado
Springs and Salt Lake papers are filled
with advertisements Of new excursion
rates to local points; that cheap excur-
sions are run to Chicago from Denver:
that the roads out there vie with each
other to see who can get the most busi-
ness; that what is wanted here is cheap
excursions to local points; possibly Mr..
Magee is just now interested in some
suburban boom business.
Imagine" exclaims this owlish econ
omist, lone going to san Jose for so cents.
or Sacramento for 90 cents" Then he
winds up with the advice that occasional
excursions by the Southern Pacific peo-
pie would enable that company to reap
ample harvests; finally, that except on
the Fourth of July, he has no remem-
brance of the company ever giving a
cheap excursion rate anywhere, which is
an exposure Of ignorance on the part of
Thomas Magee that we had not thought
even a purblind San Francisco real
estate huckster would be so careless as to
make.
But to sensible, thinking aud practi-
cal people we submit that Magee's plan,
which he ought to keep a close monopoly
by patent right, of building up the State
is the supremest example of gibbering
idiocy that has ever found place in the
columns of the Call or the Bulletin, and
that is saying much.
