FREE TRADE DOCTRINE.

In reported interview with the Examiner
Senator Stanford said:
1 believe the principle that man should buy
in the cheapest market Is the correct one.
This is remuneration OF the protective
policy. In another part Of the interview
Mr.. Stanford says that portion Of the
revenue the Government needs should be
derived from duties on foreign goods, but
he goes no further in this respect that Mr..
Cleveland. At least one-half the revenue
the Government needs can be drawn from
such products from other nations as we do
not produce. If the principle is correct that
a man should buy in the cheapest market,
duties would be laid on goods with view
to get the required revenue with as little
disturbance as possible to natural values.
Under this rule the Southern Pacific Com
pany could go to China or India to purchase
labor. The only question would be if the
labor Of those countries was cheaper than
the labor in this country. 1t would proba-
bly, be found that there were certain kinds
of work Chinese or Indian labOrers could
not do at all, while other kinds could be
done much more cheaply by Asiatics than
by Americans. OF course the high-salaTed
positions would not be open TO Asatics. but
the common work would. If the principle
is correct that man should buy In the
cheapest market, it would be an unnatural
interference with trade to enact laws that
would prevent a man from so doing il
Great Britain can produce steel rails at SD
per ton. and if the cost of rails of like
quality in this country is S26, American
railroad managers should not be prevented
from buying rails in Great Britain. So with
goods of all kinds. The so-called Republi-
can Senator from California appears to be
as much a free-irader as Grover Cleveland.

WHERE THE sINEws OF WAR COME
FROM.

1t is common talk that all the money
which De Young's henchmen are said to be
disbuFsing is supplied them by Huntington.
In circles claiming TO be well informed the
amounts are given. Thus it is stated that
an appropriation Of $1,000 Of railroad money
has been made for each of one hundred As
semby districts to secure the election of
members favorable to De Young, and that
the latter is under bonds. il he is elected, to
vote in the Senate as Huntington directs.
THE CALL has, Of course, no means OF
knowing whether this is true or not. 1t
quotes the story as one Of the rumors Of the
day. But it is due to truth to say that it is
substantiated by quite a number Of straws.
Every one has noticed how carefully the
Chronicle avoids saying a word that might
offend the railroad and how it seizes every
opportunity to cast a slur at the Traffic As
ISOLATION and the Salt Lake line. The old
Il td was not more obseQuious in its deYo-
ton, nor did it wear the railroad collar more
cOnspicuuusly. The Chronicles tender, the
little EUening Post, is a railroad organ
through and through. 1t is supposed that it
has coed reasons for being so. for Mike de
Young, like John Glpin, is of thrifty mind,
and is always willing that other people
should pay bis servants if they will.
Another straw is found in the letter Of J..
II. Van Schaick, candidate for Senator from
the Twenty-frst Senatorial District or the
Crimmins and Kelly ticket Mr.. Van
Schaick was asked by the Traffic Ass0cla-
tim rYb othcl lie was in favor OF making the

vaguely stating that he thinks every body

THE SOUND OF THE SIREN.

In an interview with Senator Stanford on
his return to California in one Of his organs
we find the following:
Senator Stanford referred to the Traffic Asso-
citation. stating that there was no real
reason for Its existence as an organiza-
ton aniagonistic 10 the Southern Pacific,
since the latter company, as be had stated, was
already giving The public as cheap and good
service as was possible under existing condl-
lions.
The above are singular remarks for Mr..
Stanford to make, for he knows perfectly
well that both of the railroads with which
lie is connected have steadily discrimin-
ated against San Francisco and her business
men. The railroads have not only charged
excessive freight rates TO our citizens, but
tie roads have actually contributed money
to other railroads, steamship companies,
and even to lines Of sailing vessels, in order
TO induce them to combine against the in
habitants of San Francisco. There is no
denying what is here stated. 1t is so noto-
rious that to dispute it would be to receive
no credence whatever. Mr.. Stanford has
been one Of the parties who have become
wealthy by wrongs committed against this
city and State. His and his associates acts
have to a great extent impoverished
San Francisco and kept her back.
The entire history OF the Central
Pacific management, The CALL Is
sorry to say, has been one Of fraud and de-
ceptlon. From the very first an effort was
made to cheat the General Government out
OF the advances which 1t had made TO the
company by bargaining for work with them
selves, under the name Of the Contract ana
FINANCE Company. Then in this city ana
state large amounts OF property ia one
form or another were turned over TO Stan-
lord and his associates. ia the expectation

serious contention that State might not
choose Presidential electors as it might
think fit. Since the constitution was adopted
States have chosen electors by action of the
Legislatures. and it is rather custom than
constitutional requirement which devolyes
the choice of electors upon the voters OF the
State as whole. 1t is only al long inter-
walls when there would be an object in the
enactment of a law devolving the election
upon Congressional districts. In Michigan
the Democrats had got control of the Legis-
lature for the first time in many years. II
they had believed that their ticket in the
State was good for another year they would
not have passed the district act. But, as
they realized that the State in Presidential
year would return to its old political faith.
they thought they would secure the four or
five districts that would return Democratic
Congressman. No new principle is involved
10 the decision. Neither is it likely that the
district system will be generally adopted, as
the party in control Of the Legislature one
year generally hopes TO carry the whole
State in Presidential year.

THE CITY's PROSPERITY DEPEND
ING.

a few days ago a telegram came from
New York, purpoTtiDg to emanate from Mr..
Stanford, saying that his Central Pacific
Railroad shares were than worth thirty-tige
cents on the dollar, but lie expected ere
long they would advance to one hundred
What was the meaning OF this? Surely Mr..
Stanford could not anticipate such an adj
vance, for what would bring it? Not q de-
termination upon the part of San Francisco
to take care of her own interests. Was this
a bluff or was it whoop in order to keep
up courage? Another telegram came from
New York a little later. This was dated
October 20, and reads as follows:
The idea is advanced here that the result of
the election In California may seriously affect
Southern Pacific securities. 1t is said on the
street that the election Of officials independent OF
Southern Pacific Influence will force a complete
change In the policy OF that corporation and also
pave the way for competing railroad enier-
prises.
Every possible effort will doubtless be
made 10 carry the election so far as men,
bers of the Legislature are concerned. Our
municipal election is also an important mat
ter. for between railroad money and that
taken from San Francisco there will be pro-
vided large fund which Will 60 for cor
ruption purposes. The pending election of
our city officers and members OF the Legis-
lature is deemed by our railroad managers
TO be Of paramount importance. Hence we
conclude there will be no lack of money to
be used by the bosses where it will do the
most be this by stuffing ballot-boxes or by
securing illegal votes. The election is also
important in another aspect. II ii should,
for instance, be decided IN favor of the rail-
road company the public will have the bat
tie over again. whereas should the Non
Partisans win affairs will commence to
brighten, for we should have not only put
down the thieves who are plundering us,
but we should be in a fair way to obtain
more railroads

THE SUFFERS

Directly after the adjournment OF the
Ke!ly-CrimmiDs convention the word went
out from Third street that the ticket then
put in the field could not be beaten. When
doubts were expressed on the ground that
the Non-Partisans appeared TO have large
following the answer was that the Non
Partisans had nothing but votes-they had
10 grip upon the machine In other words,
the Election Commissioners were on the
Kelly-Crimmins side of the contest, three
of the five being candidates on the Kelly
Crimmins ticket. The plan seems to have
been 10 get men registered through the
agency of the Third-street bosses and to
hold them on the registry by virtue of the
power lodged in the Board Of Election Com
missioners. 1t is estimated that there are
now not less than $500 names on the regis
try books that have no right there. 1t Will
not be possible to get even one-half of these
names stricken off, But 1t is possible to
prevent them from voting. One of the
means that has been tried in Eastern
cities when the fraudulent voter has been
particularly active is TO offer reward OF
$40 or $50 for evidence which WILL convict
person of Illegal voting. Such reward
would bring an army of watchers into the
work of detecting illegal voters. A legal
voter could have nothing to fear from them.
They would not waste time on men whose
right to vote was clear. But they would ex-
anime the retreats of the suffers before the
day of election and be prepared in case the
suffer should appear to vote. 1t is quite
time to begin to punish men who for pur-
poses of gain debase the franchise. What
is the right to vote worth to a citizen when
his vote may be Offset by that of vagrant
whose only thought is to get as much money
as possible for it? There should also be a
way to trace the connection between the
Illegal voter and the boss who pays him for

DE YOUNG AND THE CITY HALL.

The County Clerks Office In this city has
been a sink of iniquity. 1t is in that Office
that troubles arise to a considerable extent
with juries; hence It is where designing
men quarter men who can be used by them.
All of the departments have to certain
extent been used to feed relatives and
hangers-on. Here is what an evening con-
temporary says relative to De Young's
quarterings in the City Hall:
DE Young's uneles and aunts and friends are
literally CHARTERED on the local government.
They are found In the County Clerks Office. 10
the Assessors Office. In the Auditors office, on
the stan OF the House OF Correction, In the
School Department, 10 the Health Department
and elsewhere. II is written that the man who
does not provide for the members OF his own
household is worse than an infdel But II IL
nowhere laid down that lie shall do so az the ex-
pense Of the city or country In which he lives
That must be regarded as an Interpolation OF a
very doubtful nature, but to be expected In this
case. A change OF the local government might
be productive of an undesirable redistribution

is "a good city and county TO Mike and his
fIiends. SO the troubles multiply around this

LIGHT FOR THE VOTERS.
Several Prominent Lawyers Give The

Several Prominent Lawyers Give Their
Opinion6.
There Is considerable discussion over the
Interpretation of section 1899, paragraph 3.
Of the Political Code, which reads as fol-
lows:
person must not be held by reason OF having
moved from one precinct 10 another. In the same
county, within thirty days prior to tie election,
10 have LOST bis residence In the precinct so
moved from, provided he was an elector therein
OH the thlrtleth DAY prior to such election.
The claim is that under the law person
who is registered on or before October in
precinct is entitled to vote in that precinct,
even if he moves into another precinct at
any time after said October 9. which wosid
be too late to gain a residence.
Another question is where is person en-
titled to register who has changed his resi-
dence since October 8 into another precinct
and too late to gain a thirty days residence
in the precinct moved into and who has not
yet registered3
In order to get an opinion on this ques-
tion CALL reporter interviewed the fol-
lowing legal lights:
Ex-Judge James g. Mcguire said: Gre
gardng the first question, he is entitled to
vote in the precinct in which he resided on
October 9. As far as the second is con-
which he had resided on October and in
when he had, at that time, acquired legal
residence"
Judge James A. Waymire said: 81 believe
that the law was originally made so as to
give every man equal rights as far as posi-
bic. and with this end in view l do not
hesitate to concur with Mr.. Mcguire"
T. j. Carran of Los Angeles. who was
present at the interview, said that he agreed
with Judge Waymre.
a. Ruef said: II believe a citizen who is
registered in precinct before October is
entitled to vote in that precinct, even if he
moves into another at any time after 0cto-
Der 9. III citizen moves into a precinct
after October 9 and has not heretofore reg
istered IN the precinct from which he moves,
he is not in my Judgment entitled to be
registered so as TO vote on November s.
"He cannot vote in the new precinct be-
cause lie has not been a resident thereof
thirty days before the election, and he
cannot vote in the old precinct because he
was not an eector thereof on the tbirtieth
day before the election"

General Crespo is now at the head Of the

recognized as such by the United States
Minister, Mr.. Scruggs, and festivities are in

same way and doubtless after brief delay
they have all yielded to the inevitable de-
cision of success. Crespo Is victor in Ca
racas and outsiders have no right to inter-

purposes At this moment the United
States naval officers are very welcome
