DISLIKE THE LAW.

Our citizens ought to remember what ex-
traordinary efforts were made during the
last session Of the Legislature to defeat the
passage Of law providing for the adoption
Of the Australian ballot system in voting.
Many of the men VINO are to-day lowering
around the City Hall, bowling for the boss
tickets. were then at Sacramento; some of
them even in the Legislature, doing their
utmost to defeat the passage OF the bill,
which they were pledged, prior to the cleo
ton. TO assist in enacting. The Chronicle
was active in trying to destroy the bill, and
with its boss associates il did mutilate it to
such an extent that the people are even
now az a disadvantage in enforcing 1t. 1t
was. for instance, made obligatory IN NOM
mating candidates under its provisions to
obtain a certain number Of voters TO sign an
application. The object of the persons who
have robbed the city and State was to con-
troll nominations indefinitely, and thus keep
the Offices of the city and State in their
hands. 1t is not strange, now that DE
Young and his Doodle friends see their per-
ouisites drifting away, that they sh ouid
resort to all manner Of means to stem the
tide and save some Of the wTeckage. We
have never for moment doubted that meT

Of illegal votes or even stuff balot-boxes il
order to carry their points. In this connec
ton we copy the following editorial from
the Riverside Enterprise of a recent date TO
the benefit of the Chronicle:
The San Francisco Chronicle, true to tn
boodler instinct continues to find fault with tn
Australian ballot law. The reason for this en-
nifty is that Nike de Young finds II diff cult t
purchase votes TO land him in the Office OF Sena
tor under the new law The honest men OF In
State Ike the Australian ballot law, and il Is onl
the boodler and rafficker in votes and the dishon
est politician WHO oppose the new law. The lac
that such sehemers as De Youn aud bis Tx op
pose the new law is the best reason Ia the worlt
why the people should stand by IL. The neV
law is not perfect but is far better than the OH
ballot law, which made X possible TO buy vote
openly upon the streets ana which allowe

BOUND HAND AND FOOT.

For several years past 1t has not been
possible for person to obtain a nomination
for an important Office In San Francisco
unless he secured II through the permission
Of the managers of the Central and South
ern Pacific Railroad companies or through
bosses who, it is generally believed. were
controlled by the railroad companies. 1t is
shameful to have to make such an admis-
sion, but it is positively true. We have
been made 10 hold up our hands while our
money was being taken from US as COM
pletely as il we were met by the highway
men-with this disadvantage. that 1t has
been claimed that our pockets were picked
according to law. THE CALL does not be-
lieve there is another community in the
United States of our size which would for a
moment permit such outrages as we have
endured for ten years past Yet we are
plundered OF millions each year still. The
State is virtually made poor by outrageous
exactIons and San Francisco is robbed of
more than half million dollars outright
annually, besides all manner Of stealing
schemes which take away property from
our citizens. We sometimes think we are in
q country. as Mr.. Huntington charged,
where each Individual is for himself, with
out regard to law or justice. Stanford and
Huntington are for themselves; so are their
bosses and newspapers Each grabs what
he can get, but if one grabs more than his
share there is no law to compel division.
WHAT strange community is thsl And
how long can men live In Ii In peace and
quiet? Is the question.

NOT REPUBLICAN,.

At the meeting Of the Reorganized De-
mocracy Wednesday evening there was no
more demonstratiye response to speakers
remarks than when Mr.. Dryer said: at
would be an insult to the intelligence of this
country to say that Crimmins and Kelly
and the men who are doing their dirty work
are Republicans" When thu burst of ap-
plause which followed had partially died
away Mr.. Dryer continued: ut is not the
Republican party that is meditating this
crime, but az organized band of pirates and
marauderS that are trying to do the dirty
work" The proposed action which called
out this strong denunciation is the recog-
milton Of the so-called regular Democrats to
right TO place on the official ballot in
place Of the ReorgaaiZed Democracy. The
Election Commission has done nothing yet
but think the matter over, putting off a
decision from day to day; but the action of
the board toward the Non-PaTtiSans has
created distrust. When a board Of officials
receives orders from such a source as the
Kelly Crimmins Third-street resort the
character of individual members has little
weight in preserving public confidence. No
doubt II is unpleasant for the five men on
the Board OF Election Commissioners to
hear themselves called piraies and ma
RAIDERS, but ii is the penalty they have to
pay for surrenderng 10 the Tbird-stTeei

Is IL PossIBLme

Does any person doubt. should the candi-
dates on either of the tickets which are sup
ported by the Chronicle or the Examiner be
elected. that the Legislature and the city
government would be controlled by Stan
ford and Huntington? Its positively eer-
tain that such would be the case. What
then? The inhabitants of San Francisco
would ertainly groan for two years more,
and the people of this city and State would
be plucked by the railroad company per-
haps for another term OF years. and by the
men whom cur citizens had supinely permit
ted to be selected by bosses to rule over
them. 1t is one OF the surprising events Of
the times that city OF three hundred
thousand people should permit themselves
to be plundered by set of harpies whom
they permit railroad money to place In
power. We ask ourselves in all earnestness
If il can be possible that the citizens OF San
Francisco will permit such an abomination
after what they have undergone for ten or
fifteen wears past?

HARD TO PIE i ; &.

Our neighbors of the Examiner are not
yet entirely satisfied with their attacks upon
The CALL. If we remember correctly the
same parties were not satisfied after we had
lost some seventy or eighty thousand dol
lars by thieves, because The CALL was not
crippled in its finances or business. OF
course, our neighbors are hard 10 please.
but they were pleased. it seems. when one
Of the thieves was let loose, for they re-
jolced greatly thereat. But permit this to
pass, for it did not iniure US. Neither have
their hundreds of falsehOods and ISLANDERS
injured US. The Examiner now tries on an
other tack, but with as little success. The
Erdminer or any other newspaper may
have as large a circulation as it pleases,
provided its manager will falsify, or they
may print copies by tens Of thousands aud
turn them into the waste-baSket or burn
them; or bundles may be sent here and
there where they will never be read. The
CALL does none Of these things Its pa
per goes to readers-bona-fide readers-and
this is what troubles our enemies. The
CALL goes into nearly two-thirds Of all of
the families in San Francisco, and what is
more, it is finding its way into other tami-
lies Are boss papers pleased with this
statement?

in respect to Mr.. Egan. Not only was his
ability as a Giplomatist called In question
but his integrity as a man. During the
civil war in Chile there was naturally a
faction who did not approve of the position
the American Minister considered ii his
duty to take. Nothing their impudent
journals could say was too vile to be copied
with approval in a certain class of North
American journals. Mr. Egan is now in the
United States on leave of absence, and he
comes bearing undisputable evidence OF the
confidence the Chilean Government reposes
in him. Not only does he bring the sum OF
money to be paid on the Baltimore riot ac-
count. but also authority to create CON-
mission to settle all other matters OF dis
agreement between this Government and
the Government Of Chile. The latter mis-
sion would never have been entrusted to
Mr.. Egan had not the Chilean Government
had the most implicit confidence in Mr..
Egan's ability and integrity. During all
the time when Mr.. Egan was EXPOSED to
the fire from the rear President Harrison
never falteTed in sustaining him. If the
President had yielded to newspaper clamoI
MIR. Egan would have left Chile in disgrace
a year ago.

political argument the public are the judges.
A well-conducted and fair political discus
sion is therefore beneficial. At strictly
party demonstration nothing Is uttered
which is not in accordance with the wishes
of the listeners, whose amisbilty suggests
the analogy of the cats fur being stroked
the right way. A Democratic meeting
nnder such circumstances Is apt to be ultra
Democratic, and Republican very Repub-
lican.
Il is seldom a public official declines to
avail himself of the opportunity to make
use of patronage. Mr.. Waite, Secretary of
State. has the chance to nominate keeper
of the State archives at Sacramento, and he
is besjeged with applications. But as the
records are in very good condition and in no
danger of being carted away by thieves or
consumed by mice he proposes to leave the
office vacant in the meantime. The salary
is $1,000 a year, and so much will be saved
to the State, but it is mere trliie IL there is
any risk of damage.
The numerous buildings now springing
up In the vicinity of the Preside render il
necessary that some scheme of drainage
down TO the Golden Gate should be carried
out on good plan. A movement is on foot
to obtain the required facilities. All that
the Government will do in the matter is tC
grant the right of way, but even that is
consideration to an embarrassed district.

In August, 1891, they ordered some from

Now tie word in their cipher code for

The newspapers give an account OF a
boodler 10 Toledo, Ohio, where record OF
his misdeeds had been taken down by
shorthand writer in an adjoining room,
who had listened to the plans devised for
stealing public moneys. This. it is thought,
would be enough TO convict the culprit in
the moral city Of Toledo, but would such
record accomplish as much in the city OF
San Francisco? THE CALL thinks not, II

colors, and did not our Doodle papers ap-
