PIxLEY's OPINION.

THE CALL seldom quotes from the Arg0-
nGut for sound doctrine, but we would not
like to say that friend Pixley is always
wrong He is sometimes right, and his
views being expressed in his peculiar style,
we venture to quote the following remarks
from an article relative to the proposition
to cut Utah into pieces and give portion
of its territory to Nevada. The Argondut.
in this connection, says:
1t will be time enough TO talk seriously OF
handing Nevada over TO the MOrmons when she
has been given fair chance to utilize fhe gifts
bestowed upon her by nature. She has never
had that chance, and never will until the Central
Pacific shall be compelled TO take its left hand
from her throat and its right from her pocket.
1t is disgrace TO the republic that il should
have stood by for more than twenty years and
permitted railroad corporation so TO maltreat
one Of the sisterhood OF Siates-one which under
fair conditions would now be populOus aud thrlv-
ing. THIS is an aspect OF the Nevada probl M"
TO which our sociOus Eastern contemporaries
could, with some advantage TO the lhrottled aud
desp0iled commonwealth, turn their intelligent
attention. The men Of Nevada see no need OF
inviting The MormOns 10 come in and govern
them. They are not without pfije 10 their State,
which, by me way Is out Of debt, and has man
aged, despite the common sheer at her political
rOttenness, 10 sent pretty regularly to Congress
Senators and Representatives who have not had
TO blush for their character and intellect In the
presence OF the statesmen furnished by New
York and Chicago, the newspapers OF which
cities are most worried about her small popula-
ton. Nevada will never consent to surrender
her sovereignty. Let the Interstate Commerce
Commission enforce the lOng-and-s hort-haul pro-
vision Of the law, aud Nevada, rescued from the
larcenOus tyranny Of the Central Pacific, Will
agtOnisE her critics
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1892-05-19
WHY 1T Is.

A friend asks THE CALL why it is that
certain politicians embrace the idea that
our citizens. in advocating reduction Of
freights and fares, are pursuing policy in
furious to interior merchants 1t will be
borne in mind that railroad papers, notably
the Record Union and the Chronicle, have
from the first discouraged the action of our
citizens in trying to obtain relief from op-
pressive exactiOns upon the part of the rail-
road company, have labOred to create the
impression that our merchants wanted to
injure the trade of interior towns. 1t can
be readily understood why the railroad
company should strive to keep up freight
rates, but it was a mystery why politicians,
who are usually shrewd, should put forth
similar arguments. THE CALL supposes
that the Record Union. which is the ac-
knowledged organ Of the railroad would do
its utmost for its owners, and with the
Chronicle, between DE Young's hankering
after office and his intense desire for money,
that he would be willing to serve the rail-
road company for money. But with certain
politicians who are always ready for the
lOaveS and fishes it was said to be another
matter. With politicians. however the at
fair turns upon the question how 10 obtain
Office. These men have secured office gen.
orally through the influence Of the Central
Pacific railroad Company. II these pOltl-
clans did not please the managers OF the
railroad, of course railroad money was not
forthcoming to secure their election. A
man like Buckley was not likely te ask for
the nomination of an opponent of the rail
road company unless he was paid for his
services. Our shIewd politicians believe
they can obtain Office once more by work
ing to advance the interests of Stanford
& Co
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1892-05-19

land are nominated one of them will carry
New York. 1t is hardly worth while,
therefore, TO listen to politicians who de-
clare difficulties cannot be overcome which
in one case or the other must be overcome.
Cleveland would have clear course before
him if he could convince the convention
that he stood an even chance to carry New
York. And yet if the opinions of men who
are opposing Harrison are entitled to any
weight Cleveland or almost any other Demo-
erat will carry the Empire State. The
machine politicians evidently magnify
their own importance. A small and posi-
bly, invisible current of public opinion gives
to one candidate or the other many more
votes than the machine politicians can con-
troll by means of combinations. If Plat
in the event of Harrison's nomination
keeps a few thousand Republicans from
going to the polls or leads them secretly
into the Democratic camp, the loss will
probably be made up by malcOntents from
the Democratic party. A party that fails
to nominate the best expOn ent of its ideas
for the avOwed reason that a rival candi-
date is believed to stand ready to knife"
him does not inspire much enthusiasm.
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1892-05-19
BEATING ABOUT THE BUSH.

When the day comes next February that
the votes Of the several electoral colleges
are counted in the Senate California VIII
cast nine votes, which will probably exer-
else no appreciate effect upon the result.
The new President, whoever he be. Will
have to receive 223 votes 1t IS thus OF
! small consequence which way California
votes and her choice for President be-
tween two Democrats has no pros
pect of figuring as a controlling issue
at a Democratic State convention 1t
is much to be suspected that the
Democratic politicians at Fresno who are
irving TO override all other questions with
the II l-Cleveand controversy are doing so
in order to divert attention from matters Of
more immediate import to this State, and
that our contemporary. the ErpOSitOr,
which berateS Chairman Murphy for not
going out Of his way TO proclaim his I'M
doubted preferences for Cleveland. really
objects 10 him because Of his soundness on
other questions.
Even if Presidents were chosen by Cali
fornia alone il is not clear that the people
OF this State would exercise their prerOga-
tive In favor Of Mr.. Cleveland. They have
had two opportunities Of voting for him.
In 1884 they gave him 50, 225 votes as against
102,406 for Blaine; IN 1888 they gave him
1851 votes as against12 4 782 for Harrison.
What has happened since the last vote to
overcome the apparently nominal Republ-
can prep0nderance of some seven thousand
and odd hundred votes?
If the Democrats are wise they VIII get it
into their heads that the way to increase
their party strength is not 10 take part in
personal sqUabbes between Eastern candi-
dates for the Presidency, but to adopt a
broader and more Independent line of State
policy than their opponents have chosen.
But they are profoundly stirred by the re-
cent developments OF political corruption
at home. They believed that members of
both houses of the last Legislature sold their
votes for coin; that the facts were ascer-
tanned; witnesses stood ready to swear to
them, and yet that no one was punished
The hand of justice was stayed by the in
reference Of the courts.
Here is the key to the political situation.
a judicious convention would make this I'M
speakable wrong the burden of Its dis
course. What do we care about the respect
i've merits of Cleveland and Hill in compar-
ison with the rottenness of our home poll
tics-the debauching of our Legislature and
the subornation of our courts and our Grand
JIries? Tie chief magistrate on the other
edge Of the continent may be an angel in
eaTnate but how is lie going to help US if
our local government is so saturated with
corruption that crime cannot be punished,
the laws cannot be administered and the
State has degenerated into q railroad
satrapy?
We shall know in few hours whether the
Democrats at Fresno have the Wit 10 take
the true view Of the situation
