WE CANNOT too earnestly impress on
our labor friends the Importance oi
doing nothing of violent character
In their treatment of the Chinese ques-
tion at this particular time. The friends
OF the Chinese are watching this state
very closely just now, and they expect
that some demonstration Of violence
will be made against the Mongolians.
If such should unhappily occur, 1t will
be made potent argument in congress
for the repeal OF the Geary law. We
can imagine Of no greater calamity be-
falling white labor on this coast than
the repeating OF this law, which now
stands as barrier between us and the
opening Of the fioodgates OF Asiatic i'm
portation to our shores. Let ell who
have influence with white labur dis
countsnance stops that may lead to vio-
lence. The desirability of substituting
white labor for Chinese cannot be over
estimated; but if it be gained at the ex-
pense OF the restrictive legislation We
now have against the importation of
coolies the cost will be too great. Let
committees quietly intercede with Chi
nese employers to replace them with
white people, but etevsrything be done
within the law.

THE courts, after about thirty years Of
litigation, have at last subdivided the
San Pablo ranch, near Oakland. But
few of the original parties who owned
undivided interests in this grant have
survived to be benefited BY the acquisi.
tion in absolute ownership of their prop
erty. Nearly million dollars, first and
last, have been spent in litigation by the
claimants of this ranch, and now it's en-
tire estimated value is only about one
and quarter million dollars. This has
been the great Jarndyce and Jarndyce
suit Of California. All the judges who
originally had jurisdiction of cases in
this contention have long since passed
over the dark river. The San Pablo's
life in the courts is q monumental in
stance of the claws delay. and per-
hsps, incidentally, OF numberless heart
burnings from the ''insolence of Office"
But it is not alone in hope deferred
that maketb the heart sick" that this
litigation has been prolific; at least q
score of homicides have resulted from
the land quarrels that grew out of the
contentious claims on this celebrated
rancho.

: His Mind, But Gen. e. p. johnson
~ Gives His Opinion Which
Is Correct,

From present appearances it is sale to
predict that San Francisco will have to
manage to struggle through with the
big job she has taken on her hands in
the Midwinter fair scheme without aid
from the state legislature, for the reason
that Governor Markham will decide not
to call that august body of lawmakers
together.
This prediction is based upon q couple
of interviews which HERALD reporter
had yesterday. The first was with
Governor Markham at his homo in
Pasadena, where he has been quietly
resting since his return from the San
Gabriel caf1on last week.
Gov. Markham was not ready to give
to the public his decision regarding call
ing the legislature together to appropri-
ate money for San Francisco's big show,
but had apparently made up his mind
hat he would:do. He stated, however.
that he would 20 north in the course of
a day or two, and would render his de-
cision at that time.
Later Gen. E. P. johnson was inter-
viewed.
The general is supposed to be about
as close to the governor as anyone in
this part OF the state, and his opinion
on the matter ia practically decisive.
He stated that although it would be
some days before the governor would
render decision, that he was satisfied
that no extra session will be called.
The governor has been giving this mat
ter his personal attention since his re-
turn from the mountains, and appar-
emily came to the conclusion that the
necessities OF the case will not warrant
him in calling an extra session of the
state legislature. There are doubtless
other reasons which have aided in bring
ing about this conclusion. First
being the danger that some action would
be taken to oust the governors lately
appointed senator to fill the place made
vacant by the death of Leland Stanford.
How far this will affect the fair is diff
cult to tell, but there is no doubt but
that considerable dependence has been
put in the governor to help the affair
along by giving the state chance to do
nate toward the enterprise.

The duchies OF Saxe-Coburg are not at
all pleased that their rule has gone by
inheritance to one of Queen Victoria 8
sons; and public sentiment in Germany
is greatly exercised over the fact that
one of her most important duchies
should fall under the rule OF prince
of England. who will be entitled, by
virtue of his new position, to have all
the state secrets of tho empire in his
keeping. Alfred, like his father, will
have to steer his course with great care
not to fall under the suspicion of either
England or Germany.

the fact that he las to meet strong op-

show that the financial question has
assumed phase in the south which
threatens a serious schism in the dem
ocratic ranks. We doubt whether the
administration is wise il drawing lines
upon its attitude on the silver question
in any of the southern or west ern states
at this particular juncture.

senate rests upon his appointment b.
| the governor Of Wyoming to such Office
after the legislature Of that state ha,
made an unsuccessful attempt to elect
senator after The manner prescribed IL
the constitution.
There have been several cases In the
history of the senate wherein that body
was called upon to decide the right o
appointees to seat, but In no two o
them have exactly the same principlel
been involved. The first case OF inn
portance was that of Mr.. Kensey johns
OF Delaware, appointed to fill ths
vacancy caused BY the resignation ol
Senator George Reed in December 1903
In January Of the following year the
legislature met. failed to elect successor
to Mr.. Reed and Adjourned. The execu'
tive appointment was not made until
February. Mr.. Johns was not admitted
to his seat. The principle involved .was
~ to whether the governor OF q state,
after the legislature has had an oppor.
tunity and has failed to exercise its con-
stitutional functions, can make an ap.
pointment s'to fill vacancy" a. the
regular term had not yet expired.
In 1926 arose the case of Mr.. Lanman
of Connecticut. This gentleman had
been duly appointed to fill out few
months of term, and was seated. In
the meantime, and previous to the 4th
of March, the legislature had met and
failed to elect senator for the new
term, and Mr.. Lanman was appointed
to succeed himself. In this case the
question was the right OF the governor
to appoint for q new term, where the
legislature had had an opportunity and
had failed to elect. Mr.. Lanman's
right to the seat was denied by the
senate. ag
Previous to this time number OF
senators had been allowed their seats
upon the same title, but the matter had
never been questioned. except in the
case OF Uriah Tracey of Connecticut in
1901, and then he was seated on
strictly party vote.
The case of Samuel 8. Phelps in 1854
was similar to that OF Mr.. Johns, and
was disposed OF in the same way
while the Lanman decision was used as
rule until the Boil case in 1870.
In this case Mr.. Bell of New Hamp-
shire was sent to the senate in the same
manner as Mr.. Lsnman, but he was
given his seat on strictly party vote,
huu III buo idco OI an aQVeIbo report
from the committee on privileges and
elections.
A number of seats have remained
vacant in the senate. through failure on
the part of the Legislature to elect,
notably in 1859 when Q seat from Ore
gon was not filled, and again in 1885
when the same state failed to send q
senator. In both of these cases the
governor did not consider he had the
power to perform duties lawfully dis
solving upon the legislature.
The case OF Lee Mantle involves both
of the two leading principles disposed
of by former decisions of the senate.
First, that the governor OF state has
no power to fill vacancy in the senate
to fnish an unexpired term il the legis-
lature has had an opportunity to elect;
and, second, that the governor cannot
make an appointment at the beginning
Of term. In its recent vote the senate
has simply maintained what has been
the rule in the past. Ex-
ceptions have been made. but on politi-
cAl, rather than constitutional, grounds.

MONEY matters in California are i'm

MONEY matters in California are i'm
proving very rapidly. Last week over a
million dollars reached the farmer
through large shipments of grain, and
this week it is estimated that over two
millions more will find their way in the
same direction. Grain is pouring into
the holds of ships at lively rate. This
cannot fail to exert an enlivening and
beneficial influence all over the state.
The indications are that business in the
fall, winter and spring will be quite
good in Los Angeles. The fact is that
most of our merchants report it better
now than it was at this time last year.

EDITORS HERALD: 1t has been
erroneously stated that the case OF Mr..
Lee Mantle of Montana. whose right to
a seat in the United States senate is
now under consideration by that body,
derives it's particular interest from the
fact that in deciding it the senate will
have established precedent for future
guidance. Such is hardly the case.
From careful review Of the situation
1T would appear that those who advo-
cate his claim to a seat were doing 80 in
spite of the rule established in former
cases OF similar character. As mat
ter of fact. however, there has been no
case before the United States senate in
volving exactly the same questions. Mr..
