THE NEW CHARTER AND THE
FUTURE,

The adoption of the new charter by the
people Of this city, we believe, marks the
initiative in a new era for Sacramento,
an era OF progress and reform The
RECoRD-UNIoN, day by day, analyzed
the new instrument, section by section,
and with that judicial calm essential
TO sound judgment When it had con-
sidered the great leading features of the
charter, it pronounced the document not
only good, but a surprisingly well bal
anced and sound organic Act. The
RECoRD-UNIoN thereupon urged the peo-
pie to vote for its adoption, and, with such
earnestness and frequency as was neces-
sary, this journal kept the subject before
the voters, responded to all possible
objections to the charter, emphasized its
virtues and impressed the community
with the wisdom of adopting it.
That the citizens of Sacramento have
ratified this judgment is cause for selfish
congratulation. but we do not indulge it.
The victory is that of the people, not of
a newspaper, or any single influence.
Intelligence, decency and good sense
have triumphed over stupidity, fossil
ism and rank vieiousness, which COM
bined to accomplish what would have
been most disgraceful defeat.
With governing board chosen by the
people in districts we may now hope for a
genuinely representative form of munich
pal government. For instance, in twenty
four or five years the Fourth Ward. a
purely residence ward, district of homes
OF the best order, and one paying larger
share of taxes, has had Dut one represen-
tative in local councils, the Third and the
downtown wards, by reason of their
superior political strength and the Chi
cane of bossism, having dominated in the
Board of Trustees for full quarter of a
century. Under the new system this
will be impossible, for minority repre-
sentation will become fact.
Fears are expressed that the Legisla-
ture may be moved upon to disapprove
OF the new charter. If so it will be due
wholly to the neglect of our own people il
the scheme succeeds. The Legislature
will not reject the instrument unless we
send up representatives who consent to it
or are Indifferent. No man should be
nominated for Senate or Assembly from
either city or county who will not give
an unequivocal, unreserved and distinct
promise to abide by the vote of the 18th
and to labor diligently and to d6 all that
in him lies to have the charter ratified by
the Legislature-and this regardless OF
his personal views and predictions. This
is not case for the exercise of individual
judgments, bat for reflection of the pub
lie verdict, for faithful expression through
the labors and votes of our representa-
tives of the expressed will of the people;
nothing short of that will be tolerable.

On the steamer excursion in San Fran
cisco bay by the National and State Edi-
torial Associations, on Tuesday, some
very happy speeches were made, both by
Eastern gentlemen and Californians. But
they were more than happy; they were
all distinguished by sincerity of pa
triotic spirit that met with enthusiastic
response from the audience; and these,
too, were so marked as to justify the state
ment that the entire labor Of bringing the
Eastern editors here, and of entertaining
them, is fully offset and compensated.
Outside of any and all benefits California
may derive from the visitation, it is pay
ment in full to find among such repre-
sentatives men and women so truly, thor
oughly representative, and who come
from all the States and Territories, such
perfect concord of patriotic feeling, such
fraternal regard, such pride in each other,
such emphatic evidence that they all re-
gard the nation as unit, our people as
one, the States as indissolubly united,
and that in their estimation there is no
higher title on earth than that of Ameri-
can citizenship, no people who have so
much cause to be glad in their heritage.
The gathering of such representative
bodies must operate powerfully to crys-
talize the American sentiment, to cement
the people into one grand political COM
munity, and to enkindle and enlarge the
pride of Americans in the institutions of
free government. There can be no mis-
take about the spirit Of the meeting held
on the steamer, or the sincerity of the
orators. There was nothing conventional
or formal in it; it was all genuine feeling,
honest expression and patriotic and fra
ternal manifestation without alloy or res
ervation.

of a channel between it and Greenland.
Furdastrandir is the name Of land.
There are such hard frosts there that it is
not habitable as for as known. South of
it is Helluland, which is called Skrael-
ingsland. From thence it is not far to
Vinland, the Good, which some think
goes out from Africa"
Stephanius' map puts it Q570) north of
the Straits of Belle Isle and separated
by wild sea- from what we know as
America. On the very earliest maps of
Greenland. Vinland is marked as Sec
ton of that land. The sufferings of the
Mortimer for food in their voyaging,
their description of the skin-boats of the
natives, the birds of the land, etc., go to
prove that Vinland was an Arctic region,
and that the song of Thornhall about the
land of wine was sarcasm.
In this Columb bian year the subject is
made new, and is already Interestingly
debated, but in nothing new adduced or
old cited have we seen anything that can
be accepted as proof indisputable
that Vinland was of the North
American continent. True, Massachu-
sets resolved to raise a monument to
Left Erickson, but her historical society
has not been able to prove that he ever
was, or that history is more than a tradi-
ton of fiction, and the society itself put
of record its conviction that the dis
coVery Of America by Norsemen is not
confirmed by proofs strong enough to be
received as conclusive. All the proof
rests upon priestly documentary matter,
but it is quite certain that these fathers
were quite as much poets and romancists
as recorders of fact.

A VERY sad accident occurred in San
Francisco on Tuesday, on the occasion of
the Editorial excursion about the bay. A
young National Guard artilleryman lost
his arm while firing a salute in honor of
the Governor, who was among the guests
of the day. The accident was largely due
to the fact that the National Guard of this
State is not supplied with improved light
artillery. The pieces are all old-old in
years and style-and necessitate handling
that is as ancient as the invention of can
non. Had the guardsman been handling
an improved gun, breech-loader, with
priming devices that do not require the
vent to be thumbed as at present, the ac-
cident would not have happened. but
even the oId-style pieces would not be so
bad were it not true that all the guard
has are really TT to be condemned-cer-
tainly not fit 10 be used even for the firing
of salutes.

of salutes.

THERE is considerable chatter of fear in
certain quarters about the probability OF
retaliation being manifest by nations
with whom our policy as nation does
not meet with favor. There is very lit
tie, if any, reason for fearing retaliatory
action from any civilized nation that
would amount to menace to peaceable
relations. In the matter of tariffs retalia-
ton, which is precisely the reverse of
reciprocity, is as old as tariffs themselves.
but it has never yet led to rupture of
peaceable conditions. A protective tariff
of the radical order is an invitation, a
challenge for retaliation, and it nearly al
ways evokes it.
