PRoMorING LOCAL ENERGY.

The effort now afoot to supplement
Sacramento's natural advantages by
other inducements to secure the estab-
lishment here of successful factories of
well-grounded reputation and standing,
and backed by capital and a good trade,
should in no wise be involved with or
considered as handicapped by the new

ward, In these matters we must pull to-
gether: there mustb be unity of effort all
around.
The local capital is limited, it is true,
and the two schemes will i'll some degree
divide its output, but there is strength
enough, even though large capitalists are
not numerous with us, to carry out both
ideas. There is in addition strength
enough if we will but exercise it 10 estab-
lish new and enlarged home factories,

other proposition, but still it Will result

is operated, as matter of course has a
great advantage and contributes more 10
commercial upbuilding. At the same
time smaller manufacturing enterprises
will be stimulated also by the bringing
in of cheap power and by the spirit OF
enterprise that is developed by such an
agitation as that now moving this people.
There is not small factory in the city
which will take harm by the Introduction

THE Governor can comfort himself by
the reflection that none of his predeces-
sors pocked batch of unnecessary or
bad bills that there were not Immediately
raised protesting voices mingled with
good deal of rude criticism. AS matter
of fact Governor Markham has shown
great discretion, cool judgment and sub
stantial wisdom in wedding out the bills
that should not become laws. So far as
the reduction OF the total of the sum Of
the appropriations is concerned, it ap-
pears to have been an absolute necessity
that the knife should be applied and the
Governor has put it in where 1t least
interfered with pressing needs and strict
Justice. When the furry of disappoint-
ment in few quarters has subsidized the
verdict of the people will come as one of
unqualified approval. Not but that some
of the items stricken out may have
as good foundation in equity as some al
lowed, but the distinction between those
of greatest and least need appears to have
been we'll defined.

WITHIN the next two months several
of our citizens will visit the East, some
going as far as New York and Boston.
Would it not be wise for the Trustees to
commission some of them to go to Wor-
cester, Mass, and examine the chemical
deposition system for the disposal of sew
age? Anyone going there in semi-official
character, and as an inquirer for Sacra-
mento, we are assured would be received
gladly and given official aid aud every
opportunity to examine the works and
all the plans, books, accounts and data
relative to their cost and the expense of
their maintenance. 1t will cost the city
nothing to do this. The semi-oliiciai
character of two or three such persons
will enable them to gain information and
secure data for Sacramento that she could
not otherwise gather, without the output
of q good deal of money.

pie but aid the establishment of new
home factories and the enlargement and
better capitalization of those now here,
for when the advantage of this distribu-
tive central point are fully and energeti-
cally presented, we entertain the belief
that a good deal of outside capital will
flow into the city for small manufactur-
ing investment,
Let the promoters of the industrial
scheme take courage; this people has the
capacity to accomplish all that is now
asked of them. Persistence and patience
will demonstrate it. The statistics of
manufactures now being published in
census bulletins prove that wherever at
the East one factory has located at q
| point favored naturally as is this, it has
been supplemented fby: others and by
/ stimulation of old business in manufac-
turing. A significant instance of this is
related recently of town in Illinois,
where with two large factories brought
in by syndicate and the gift of sites and
other aid within two years, five others
are now asking for room to locate. 1t il
lustrates the old maxim that business
activity creates still other BUSINESS vigor.
Let there be no pulling apart, no fears
entertained that one proposition means
the abandonment of another. Sacra-
mento is equal to all now before her, and
it is not vast by any means-or else all
! her claims are ill-founded.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

The line shaft in the press-room of the
RECoRD-UNIoN snapped last night, and
let down the shaft driving pulley, throw
ing the machinery temporarily out of use.
The breakage was due to flaw in the
steel, extending over a little more than
half the diameter of the shaft. The Rec
oRD-UNIoN is issued this morning from
the press-room of the Daily EUeatng Bee
by kind permission of the proprietors of
that journal, the courtesy being extended
promptly as soon as the news of the acci-
dent was known to them. The RECORD

SACRAMENTO has a good many irons in
the fire just now; we need to see to it,
every individual claiming citizenship
here needs 10 make it his or her personal
concern that none of the irons burn and
that none cool. Ofcourse not all things de-
sired can at once be accomplished, nor is
every proposition on foot can be and
should be kept moving. The hoped for
must come to pass; it must be, because of
the natural advantages of Sacramento as
distributing point, its ceutrality and the
economy with which large businesses can
be carried on here.

TIE women sutfrpgists ought to thank
the Executive for pocketing the bill
which proposed to allow women to vote
at school elections. For, as matter OF
fact, the bill was defusion, and when
the Legislature passed it they knew that
it only seemed to grant privileges which
in fact 1t denied. 1t permitted women to
vote at school elections. But in all ex-
cept few remote sections, and even there
only rarely, school elections are not held
separately from general elections. II
would, therefore, be impossible for
women to be given blanket ballot to
vote only for nominees to school positions.
No means was provided for ballot sepa-
rating nominees for school departments
from others on the ballot. Had the bill
become a law, therefore, it would have
been dead letter, and to just that extent
have hindered the woman suffrage move
ment. Not that we favor that move
.inent; our conviction is in opposition to
1t, but we do not wish its advocates to be
made the victims of a delusion, and the

GROWTH OF THE MOB SPIRIT.

The mob spirit is growing, if statistics
prove anything. OF 1000 homicides in
1892 in the United States 236 were COM
mitted by mobs, while mobs were guilty
of seventy assaults with arms, conducted
200 beatings and destroyed private prop
erty on nearly $50 occasions. The mob
murders in 1892 exceeded those of 1891 by
Al. OF the 236, 23l of the murdered were
men and 5 were women; so were white,
l55 negroes and Indian.
What does this mean? Simply spas
modic phenomenal excitation of people
in 1892. otherwise law-abiding2 Or does
it indicate deliberate drift towards bar
barous methods and animal instincts and
away from civilizing influences? Apollo
gists for the condition will probably con-
tend that it proves that in public judg-
ment law processes are more inefficient
and crime more abundant and bestial
But this can scarcely be maintained when
1t IS recalled that more than 80 per cent.
of the homicides by mobs were murders
of negroes and took place in one of the
grand subdivisions of the country in
which the people boast that they are
sticklerssf for. constitutional and lawful
methods in all else.
The mob spirit is the most cowardly of
all; where it is frequently invoked it
faat1 ac IN tho Of Iot IL
tom is an anarchical spirit. that which
steadily cultivates disrespect for orderly
methods. For if the action of mob has
any meaning it must be that it expresses
the belief of its promoters that justice is
nearest to anarchical methods Yet in
the community which invokes the mob
spirit under the plea that it can. best do
justice, it is impossible to open the eyes
of the people to the fact that those who
compose and lead mobs are themselves
criminals and ought to be held amenable
to the law. On the contrary, the spirit
that invokes the mob to passionate action,
in the cool moment has the power to
paralyze the law in an attempt to punish
the violators and the moral weakness to
defend them.
The conclusion is therefore reached
In spite OF excuses and the sugges-
ton of the assumption of supreme power
by the supreme authority, the people,
that the growth of the mob spirit means
dangerous decadence along the whole
line ofthe law-abiding and orderly spirit.
That communities may become drunken
with excess of this spirit and continue to
decline in sensibility until they are ine-
briates in the offending.
1t is estimated on good grounds that OF
all those beaten, driven out and un.
housed by mobs in 1892, 95 per cent. were
innocent of any thing for which they
could be called to account by courts. Oi
that percentage go per cent. was innocent
of any offense whatever, either against
decent sentiment, morals or political
prejudice. OF the 236 persons destroyed
100 were innocent, or at least not deserv-
ing of the extreme penalty. Not one
third had escaped the law or were likely
TO do so.
It is very easy for false report, untrue
accusation and revengeful spirit to kindle
the mob flame in communities where the
fires of this phase of anarchy slumber,
and thus the innocent are likely to be-
come the victims of mere personal enc
mics.

THE parole bill has become a law,
whereat we anticipate great mourning
among our San Francisco contempora-
ries. Let them content themselves. 1t
does not mean general jail delivery; it
does not mean license for desperate
criminals TO overrun the State. The bill
in fact, is in line with the best thought
and practice in prison reform. Its virtue
will largely depend upon the wisdom
and wise discrimination of the Board of
Parole Commissioners 1t must be as
sumed that that body will be as cautious
and yet as bold as the need is, and that it
will at each prison do its utmost to make
the parole system reflect credit upon the
State and the judgment of the board.
They will so surround the paroled man
with restraints and regulations that he
will really be better guarded than in
prison and will at the same time be prov
ing his capacity to control his passions
and resist temptation. AS natural con-
sequence society will be moro protected
against criminals than it now is, and the
incentive among convicts to reform will
be greatly strengthened and enlarged. In
the face of the bitter assaults made upon
the measure and the influences brought
to bear to induce the Executive to veto it.

SOME citizens assume that the PROPOSE
ton to occupy the Plaza for a hotel site
is jest. So far from that is it that it is
to have legal examination to ascertain
what can be done in that direction.
The hotel proposition is q simple business
one, wholly distinct from and not in
volving those of factories and municipal
improvements. 1t must stand upon its
merits as business Investment for home
capital now idle or not so we'll invested.
But precisely as sites may be and are
given to induce factory location so site
may be given to induce investment in a
hotel. But the city is prohibited by the
Constitution from making any such
donation. 1t may, however, relinquish
its right to occupy. the Plaza and the re-
yersionary title may be had for small
outlay. That done, and the Plaza Sc
cured as site, about one-haf the cost of
the new hotel is at once met, and the in
ducement for capital to incorporate and
erect the structure will be just as much
stronger as the cost is less by reason of
the site being practically costless. If, on
the other hand, from Sl00, 900 to Sl25, 900
must be expended for a site such as is
wanted, there will be precisely that much
more OF capital necessary for the struc-
ture, and the income to be secured
will hnxa m ha
interest upon that sum. Before this
communities have donated sites to organ
lied capital for such purposes, and there
is no reason why the proposition should
not be considered here, since it is one of
plain business character and intended to
advance general interests. The city has
other public squares that can be i'm
proved, and besides the need for the
hotel is greater than the need for main
tenance Of the improved grounds between
Ninth and Tenth streets. The reasons
against abandoning the Plaza in favor of
hotel are more sentimental than prac-
tical. They may all be conceded
and are summed up in the expression:
1.-The Plaza is thing of beauty, and il a
delightful little park for the people to
promenade and rest in.' But there are,
as we have stated, other considerations
more weighty and important, besides it
does not follow that the use of the Plaza
for hotel purposes is to prevent the use of
other parks, or deprive the citizens Of
plenty of breathing spots, and one of the
largest and most beautiful of this kind is
scarcely rifie-shot from the Plaza.
