sion-New Apportionment Ordered.

to-day issued the proclamation calling
the legislature to assemble in extra ses-
sion for the reapportonment of the state.
The lawmakers will convent on June

At one time it was said that

If this plan was ever contemplated by
the party managers it was abandoned.

THEY DIE HARD.

The people of this city were rather
amused than annoyed Saturday morning by
the open espousal of O'D0nnelPs cause by
the Chronicle. An election article is
headed Brown Is Caught" but upon a
closer view of the article it appears that
Brown is not caught O'Donnell simply
said Brown was caught and the organ i'm
pudently assumed responsibility for
O'Donneil's assertion. Some of O'Don-
nelps assertions are simply absurd. The
intimafion that Kelly and Crimmins sent
out instructions ito throw every vote they
could to Ellert" could only be made by
man mad from disappointment. AS nearly
as the facts can be ascertained the Third
street firm substituted O'Donnell for Easton
q day or two before the election. In no
other way can plausible reason be given
why a candidate so personally popular as
Easton should run 1000 or 1000 votes behind
tie average on his ticket O'Donnell seems
TO think that because assurances were given
bin by election officers that be was elected
his failure TO be elected is accountable only
on the ground of fraud, Now, as votes are
taken out of the boxes one by one election
officers only know the number each candi-
date has received by the votes counted.
When they undertake TO guess they are as
likely to be wrong as bystander. ODon-

THE NEW SENATOR.

Californias interest in the matter OF the
senatorship mainly lies in the selection of
Senator who shall be on the peoples side
ON the railroad question. Everything
else is subordinate to that Before the
term of the Senator now to be elected ex-
pires Congress will have to determine the
question of the subsidy bonds. On that
question California. as one of the States
most directly concerned, will have poten-
tial voice. The voice will be that of the
junior Senator. for the senior Senator is
incapacltated, though he has thus far
shown no indication to excuse himself
from sitting in a case In which he is a party
interested. 1t is possible that the Senate
may allow itself to be guided by the counsel
of the Senator who will be elected In a few
weeks at Sacramento.
The question is one of the most mo-
mentous which Congress ever had to
decide A sum Of $4,000, COO, including
principal and interest. will presently be due
to the people of the United States by cor
poration which is unable to pay it. Two
solutions of the problem have been pro-
posed. One is TO extend the bonds at q
nominal rate of interest for so long a period,
fifty or a hundred years, that the company
may reasonably expect to be able to dis
charge the liability before the extended
bonds mature. Another is for the Govern
ment to take possession OF the property
and operate it for the benefit of the public.
The question must be settled in some way.
1t cannot be left at loose ends. Millionaires
cannot walk away with seyenty-two mil
lions Of the peoples money without some
body calling a halt. To suffer such thing
would wreck any administration.

DEMOCRATIC POLICY.

a deluson prevails in circles not well In
formed that the advent of the Democrats to
power means the abolition of customs du-
ties. This hallucination ignores the tact
that ever since the establishment OF the
Government. under all administrations and
all fiscal policies. the great bulk Of the pub
lie revenue has been derived from customs
duties. IL would be an unwarrantable ex-
pertinent to try 10 dispense with that source
of revenue now. AT the beginning OF the
century nine-tenths Of the public revenue
was supplied by the tariff. twenty-five
years later the proportion was about the
same-S20, ,0Co, 600 Of the S21.000, 900 of rev.
enue came from the custom houses.
twenty-five years later. under the revenue
tariff of 1876. the proportion was not quite
so large. In 1S48 the tariff furnished $751;
O00. 600 out of S35.0000O0 revenue. Eight
years later, whsn further reductions had
been made in the tariff, the custom-house
supplied S6i. COX, 600 out of S74,000, 600 rev.
enue. After the war the receipts from in
ternal revenue exceeded the receipts from
customs. In 1866. out of $500, COO 900 total
revenue. only S179.O00,00O came from Gus
toms and the rest from other sources. Ten
years later the receipts from customs were
about half the total revenue. Since then
the proportion of revenue supplied by Gus
toms duties has been gainisg. OF late years
ii has been about three-ffths OF the whole.
To disturb this proportion in any material
degree would be an experiment OK extremely
doubtful policy. Instead of attempting any
such measure, it is more likely that the
Democrats will content themselves with
readjustment of duties according to the
principles Of their school of political econ
omy, reducing some duties and raising others,
so that the revenue from the whole shall be
abont the same as 1t is now. How far the
Democrats will see their way TO apply their
principles in practice remains to be seen.
By restoring the duty on sugar, coffee and
tea revenue nearly equal TO one-haIf the
present total revenue from all duties would
be insured. and material reductions all along
the line would be practicable. This course
will De advocated by Springer and has fol-
lowers. 1t will be opposed by those who
object to taxing articles of general consump-
ton among the poor. and who disregard the
evidence showing that such articles have
not been cheapened by placing them on the
free list The conflict on the tariff in the
next Congress will probably turn on this
issue,

COST OF THE ELECTION.

The Chronicle represents the taxpayers
OF this city as very anxious abuut the cost
of the election. If such anxiety exists il is
confined to the taxpayers who voted the
Kelly and CTimmins ticket Whatever the
election expenses mas be, the city has never
expended the same amount of money to
better advantage. Not only have the bosses
been routed, but their rule In the future
has been made impossible. The only chance
boss has is to repeal the present election
law, which will certainly not be done by
the Legislature just elected. The secret of
a political boss power lay in his ability to
secure the nomination of representatives in
the convention of his party. Under the old
law nomination by one or the other Of the
two parties was equivalent to an election.
1t carried with il the voting strength OF the
party. Under the new law candidates were
voted for with small regard to the ticket
they were on.
An aspirant certainly Is not going TO pay
bosses large sums for a nomination when
the boss can give little or nothing in return.
Under the rule OF placing candidates estab-
lished by the Supreme Court IT is as easy to
vote for candidate nominated by petition
as Tor one nominated by party conven-
tion. So long as the law stands there will
be no boss with any considerable power.
NJ boss will be able TO say TO one Of the
heads of departments that his future de-
pends upon the favor of boss. Officials
who keep their pledges and do their work
well can get themselves before the voters
without help from any boss. A quarter of
a million dollars has never been expended
in this city ia a way to do so much good as
in the election just held.

A BOAT WITH A HISTORY.

Finally an Explorers Craft.

Chicago Evening Posi-
A little vessel having a remarkable history
has piled for years on Lake Tanganyika
Her story represents tie progress in that
region from slavery toward civilization.
The boat, known as the Calabash. was
originally huge tree trunk cut down by
the axes of the natives with enormous labor
and then, with ak and adze and fire,
nodded into shape. Boats like the Gala
bash are excellent sea vessels, though in
their lines they suggest rather clumsy
hippopOtamus than swan.
On one of her voyages. after she had
served as trading canoe for three years she
entered the port of Ujiji, where she was
bought by a Mswabii slave-trader. For
three years she piled back and forth across
the lake. bringing forth cargoes of wretched
men, women and children 10 the Uiiji slave
market One day a number of slaves had
jnst been landed on the coast, when Mr.
Hore, who had recently come to Ujiji as an
agent of the London Missionary Society,
saw the little craft and decided that she was
just about what he needed for explorato ry
voyages around the lake.
He succeeded in purchasing her, and the
little boat was once more launched upon
Tanganyika as the first missionary boat on
the lake. COnsecrated to the cause of peace
she became known In time to every tribe as
the harbinger of good will.
Lake Tanganyika, as il appears on our
maps to-day. Is the result Of these surveys
which Mr.. Hore carried out on the Calabash.
His survey is the best that has yet been
made OF the lake. He padded and sailed
along the shore, every day seeing a grand
panorama of unknown lands and new tribes.
by careful measurement and observation,
month after month, the outlines OF the lake
and the names of the bordering countries
were marked on the map OF Africa.

THE CAUSE OF THE DEFEAT,

The New York HerdlFs Washington
correspondent says that President Harrison
attributes bis defeat to the position Of the
party on the tariff question. This does not
sound like President Harrison. The tariff
question Is the one issue upon which Re-
publicans were substantially united. The
President has never intimated that he
thought the party had gone too far on that
question. On the contrary, his letter of
acceptance was devoted largely to pre-
sentation Of the Republican protective
policy. Ex-senator Plat touches upon
causes which may not have been without
their in fluence. He contends that the
vote which nominated Harrison did not
come from the States that could elect him.
he points TO the falling off in the Repubi-
can vote OF Illinois, Wisconsin. New Jersey
and other States that stood by Harrison in
the convention as evidence that the dele
gates did not truly represent the people.
Piattt himself was not Harrison man in

the convention, and he appears to have the
weakness of most mor;als In desiring to
yindicate his own Judgment. While per-
sonal preference may have had something to
do with the defeat, this cause cannot accouA
forit. One man of admitted high chara cter
and ability should be about as strong be-
fore the people as ano ther. Voters do not
confer such an Office on a man because he
wants ii. They vote for him as represen-
tatiye OF the principles of the party. On
this ground no man should have voted
against Harrison. When the Republican
truth-seekers direct their attention to the
many evidences the party has given OF
being controlled by corporations. transDor-
