Andrew Carnegie is a model of the busi-
ness man erected in this country under
the system of high protection to the

STATE DIVISION.
Grass Valley Tidngsl
The question of State division is again
being talked of, having been discussed by
the Supervisors of some of the southern
counties. We are opposed to any division,
and believe the majority OF the people OF
the State are OF the same mind.
CONTEST.
Pasadena STAR
We hope that no partisan spirit will
enter into the proposed contest of Mr..
Budd'S election. Much as all good Re-
publicans would like to have their cham
pion succeed, they yet want 10 sus-
picion OF unfairness, and are not so selfish
as to wish to deprive rival of victory
justly won. There should be unmistak-
able evidence of fraud to justify a con-
test.
ADOPT OUR PLAN.
san Jose Herald
The Associated Charities Of Sacramento
have formulated plan by which any per-
son can obtain substantial meal, and has
made the practice of begging from door
to door wholly unnecessary. Arrange
ments have been made by the association
to furnish substantial meals and decent
lodgings for fifteen cents a day. Tickets
calling for meals and lodgings are sold to
private citizens at fifteen cents each, and
these are handed to the applicants for food
of a
They are then taken to the rooms of the
Associated Charities and the holder gets
his supper and breakfast and a night s
lodging. In this way every body who is
in need OF help gets it, and the practice of
tramping from house to house frightening
timid women will have to be abandoned
in Sacramento. The police will arrest
persons found begging, and they will be
punished according to law. Another ad-
vantage is that the tickets given by pri-
vate citizens cannot be exchanged tor
money or drink, and if they are de-
stroyed, as they doubtless will be in some
cases, the fifteen cents will be in the
hands of the Associated Charities to be
used to good purpose in the relief of real
distress. This is good plan, and should
be adopted in San Jose.
RAILROAD CONTROL OF THE LEGIsLA-
TURE.
Los Angeles Express
There are many people in this world
who fancy they can deceive the public,
and appear to be what they are not, by
the simple process of calling themselves
and posing as what they would like to be-.
For many years the democratic party
has posed as the friend of labor and
champion of the people, but when they
got in a position to be both they quickly
proved they were neither.
Just now the Democracy of California
is trying to deceive the people into be-
lieving that it is an anti-raiIroad party
and that the next Legislature will be con-
trolled by the Southern Pacific Railroad
because it is Republican. The disgruntled
Populists who have taken charge of the
Farmers Alliance in vain hope that it
will give them the Offices they so arden;ly
desire, have been called on by the Dem
ocracy to assist them in this deception,
and these two virtuous old maids, Miss
Democracy and Miss Populism, are busy
already abusing a Legislature that has
not met. and declaring the reason that
they will not attempt to put any of their
wild projects in operation is because they
fear the Southern Pacific will gobble
everything up since, according to them,
that railroad OWNS the Legislature, body
and soul.
The TACT is, those venerable danes are
simply jealous of the Republican party
because it has the confidence and respect
of the people of the State, and, like many
other disappointed damsels before them,
they are trying now to cast slurs on the
virtue of their successful rival.
LIQUOR AND THE LEGISLATURE.
Oakland Enquirer.]
While the Christian Endeavor Societies
are arranging a campaign (which may
not be successfully TO turn Oakland into a
prohibition town, they are likely to be
cd ha .,,lr 4
badly outgeneraled, by the willy liquor
men. The liquor dealers understand pol
ltlcS, and despite some OF the events OF
the recent election, they can still give the
Christian EndeavorerS few points, The
only clause of the State Constitution un-
der which prohibition, high license, or
Sunday closing could be enforced in Oak
land, or any other town, is one which
says that cities and counties may make
local police and sanitary regulations; but
1T also ADDS that such regulations must
not be inconsistent with general laws.
Therefore, If the Legislature should pass
a law that every city or county shall
grant liquor licenses to applicants who
pay 81 quarter tor them, no ordi-
nance which the city government of Oak
land could pass would have the slight
est effect against this enactment. Un-
der these circumstances a local option
campaign would be a bad case of wasted
effort.
But will the Legislature pass such a
law? That remains to De seen. The as
soclated liquor dealers-the California
Protective Association-are very conf
dent that it Will. They tell how many
members OF the body they secured by
secret pledges before the election, and
they leave it to be understood that if they
need any more votes they will be pre-
pared TO spend any amount of money to
get them. We presume this latter part of
their boasts is true, because they could
well afford to spend SI,000.0O0 in Sacra-
mento this winter If it would buy them
what they are working for. 1t appears
incredible that any 10 men who are con-
sldered lit TO be elected members OF the
Legislature should contain so many as
sIXty-one persons who would outrage the
public conscience by voting to let down
all the restraints against the demoralizlng
effects of the drink traffic which have
been raised with such difficulty in Oak
land and other places.
PERFECT purity and unequalled
strength are distinctive qualities of DIR.
