WlDNEY FOR SENATOR.

In all the forty-two years of Califor-
MAS existence as state, there has
never been United States senator
elected from south of the Tehach.
ipe range. San Francisco, not con-
tent with absorbing everything else, has
likewise had monopoly Of the sena-
tors ever since the Oregon steamed into
the golden gate on the 8th of Septem-
Der, 1850, with the welcome news that
new star had been born into the
galaxy OF states. True, there have
been occasional variations Of the pro.
gramme. such as the election OF Booth
and Latham of Sacramento, and Farley
OF Amador. But in general way the
metropolis has had the senators right
along, from the hurley Broderick down
to the diminutive FELTON,.
In yesterday mornings HERALD ap.
peared card addressed to Hon. R. M. Wild
ney, asking him to be candidate for
senator, in the event that the Republi
cans have majority in the next legisla-
ture. VI COURSE Ine 1ERALD Dolng
Democratic newspaper, would prefer to
see Democratic legislature elected and
Democratic senator, as the legitimate
consequence thereof.
But if Republican Legislature is to
be elected, and Republican senator
chosen, we know of no man we would
rather see succeed Mr.. FELTON, than
Judge Widney. AS a lawyer, he has
been man of marked ability. and his
career as banker has been singularly
successful. If elected, the southern end
of the state will have an energetic and
industrious advocate in the senate. and
one who will labor increasingly for her
advancement and prosperity.

THE POPULISTS.
Mrs. Diggs and Marion Cannon Address
Meeting.

Mrs. Diggs and Marion Cannon Address
Meeting.
Fully 1000 people assembled last even
ing at the Peoples party gathering, be-
tween First and Second streets, on
Broadway.
B. w. Bachelor, chairman of the
county central committee, called the
meeting to order, and announced the
vice presidents of the meeting, as fol-
lows: E. M. Wardell, of Monrovia !;
Judge Utley and Caro- f. Dxss, of Pas
adens; G.. HI. Dillon, of Long Beach !;
Fred j. Null, sr., of Cahuenga; E. M.
Hamilton, j. f. Greenough, L. Luckel,
w. G. Bowman, j. H. McWilliams, G.
w. Lang, and S. A. Waldron, of Los An
geles.
A solo was next announced to be sung
by Mr.. Salyer, entitled, All on Account
of the Tariff.
Chairman Bachelor then introduced
Mr.. Cannon. He said: "All over the
district have men been inquiring what
kind of a man Cannon is. You see
what kind of man am. / am plain
man, and / am in this fight for the re-
lief OF the great middlemen. / am in
the field to represent the people, and no
corporation. This is political revolu-
ton that will sweep the whole coun-
try"
The speaker paid a compliment to
both Cleveland and Harrison. Then the

question Of silver was touched upon
He spoke Of the banks Of the country.
end the amount Of money they would
put in the field to defeat any party.
The railroad question was then
touched upon, the speaker asserting,
YAH the corporations of this district
cannot defeas me. ! am going to Wa3h-
ington
Mr.. Cannon spoke at length on the
transportation question, and his speech
was frequently interpreted with ap-
plause.
Mrs. Anna G. Diggs was then intro
duced by Chairman Bachelor as the
ssKansas Sunheams."
Mrs. Diggs is small woman, and has
a determined face. She is an earnest
speaker, and her style of oratory was
such that it had tendency to captivate
the crowd from the start, and her voice
easily reached to the edge of the vast
audience.
The speaker took for portion Of her
text quotation from Senator Ingalls,,
that s'this was fearless and relentless
struggle, and by the close OF the present
century the middle class would entirely
disappear. Taking this for the ground
work Of her remarks, she made q power
full appeal for the support of the Peo-
ple's party, and spoke until nearly IL
O'Clock.

THE proposition to allow a commits
sion of rs per cent to any one who will
sell off the worlds fair souvenir coins of
80 cents denominational value, certainly
looks very undigniied and unbecoming
in frst'class commercial nation. It
virtually degrades the secretary of the
treasury to the level of street fakir,
and puts the president ON par with a
Chatham street "Cheap John" How
ever, if other nations wish to be taught
object lessons of thrift, this is one of
them.

That financial scheme of the Macaroni
bank, OF Chicago, in importing Italian
paper money by sea and selling it out in
retail quantities to its tagliarini-devour
ing depositors for remittances, is great
design. The Pasadena Star is authority
for the statement. We had no idea,
however, that the "balance OF trade"
with the land Of King Humbert was in
our favor, as that statement would indi-
cate. We always had an idea that we
imported more from that sunny land
than we exported thither.

ras GREAT noRrHERN WALKS our

A dissolution of the Transcontinenta
association, which Is merely ga trust"
on railroad freights and fares, is one Of
the probabilities of the near future.
The Great Northern railway {hitherto
known as the Manitoba, the Montana
Central and "Jim Hill's" road) has al
ready withdrawn from the pool; and
this will leave that corporation free and
footIoose, to fight both the Union Pa
cific and Northern Pacific at close range.
The great Northern lies on the original
survey OF the Northern Pacific, made by
Gen. Isaac 1. Stevens in 1858. Had the
Northern Pacific kept to that line, the
Great Northern never would have been
built, but there we're some people in
the directorate of the Northern Pacific
who ioresaw speculation in route by
the Yellowstone park; and the course
of the road was diverted that way,
totally ignoring the great pass of the
Missouri. The consequence was that
'sJim" Hill built the Great Northern on
the abandoned route, and has road
which has no gradient above 56 feet to
the mile between Helena and St. Paul.
This difference Of grade enables the
Great Northern to haul A loaded grain
cars of 15 tons each, with the same
motive power "a Cotton engine of the
"hog" pattern) that the Northern or
Union Pacific requires to move 81 loaded
cars.
The Great Northern is coming into
California before 1895. and will be a
most dangerous competitor for the trade
OF this state, certainly as far south as
San Francisco. 1t can get the Donahue
road whenever Mr.. Hill so desires, and
that is good paying road for the first
80 miles out Of the rs miles already
built. The Transcontinental associa-
ton will never realize what q power
the Great Northern is till the latter
road comes to put ON line of boats be-
tween Seattle and San Francisco, to
serve until its railway line enters Cali
iornia, and either buys the Donahue
road or reaches San Francisco by some
new route Of its own.
Three years ago the Northern Pacific
had the best transcontinental passenger
traffic OF any one of five parallel roads.
Today its business is completely cut in
two by the Great Northern, whose easy
grade enable the hauling of so much
larger loads by single locomotive, that
it has virtually absorbed the through
freight for Portland, Seattle and all the
northwest cities; and left both the N.
P. and U. 2. lines to sit down and con-
template view of impending bank
ruptcy. Once let this road enter Cali
fornia, and there is DO line across the
continent that can underbid it for
through freights and fares. For letting
this corporation slip out of the
compact between the transcontinental
roads, the association will never be sorry
but once, and that will be all the time
Hill is very aggressive man, and just
as we'll versed in steamboat business az
he is in railroads. He hae also the ad
vantage of new road, in perfect repair
with new cars, and everything else t.
enable him to make big fight. and carr.
heavy loads at figures which will prov,
ruinous to either of his immediate rivals
His progress towards San Francisco will
be watched with the greatest interest.

THAT was happy thought OF DIR.
MCGOWAN, in the board of health, last
night, with regard to the manufacture
of artificial ice within our city limits,
and it is greatly to the credit of the
board that they unanimously adopted
the health officers suggestion. 1t is
rather late in the season for visit OF
the Asiatic cholera, and there is already
q slight trace of frost in the atmosphere
after m dnight. Still, we are glad to see
the board take such a lively interest in

AFTER Wednesday next, somebody
may be found who is willing to talk
politics. If a man did not know really
what was going on, he might imagine,
from what he overheard, that John L.
Sullivan was president OF the United
States and James J. Corbett was con-
testing his reelection. As for all such
insignificant personages as Jay Gould,
G. P. Huntington and Henry Willard,
they will have back seats only for the

for nature has built nearly two-ffths of
the canal across Nicaragua, in the shape
of the lake of that name. and the rest
