A MENACE To FREE INSTITUTIONS.

Republicans of Sacramento, who have
always been true to American institu-
tions and the rights of men under law,
should stand by their party-if never
again-in this year of grace. For the SUBJ
structural principles of free government
are assailed now, more bitterly than ever
before, by party, the success of which
can be assured only by division among its
opponents; party, the triumph of which
would mean victory for disorder, lawless-
ness and radical socialism, that points
straight towards anarchy.
1t has been and is the open ally of mobs
and mob law, the indorser of every wild
eyed and unrepublican idea broached in
the realm of crankdom; it has the active
support and militant aid of every snarch-
istic element in the land. We speak ad-
visedly-there is not radical socialist, a
frank anarchist or persistent disturber
in the nation who does not look upon the
Populist party as the pioneer and fore
runner of movements but little less
dangerous to the Republic. Protestation
and denial of these truths by such in the
Populist ranks as are sincere and deceived
into the belief that the organization is
worthy the support of loyal Americans
Will not avail. There are such in the
party-men led astray by their emo
tions and the misrepresentation of dema-
gogic and crack Drained leaders. But
their delusiop does not change the condi-
ton or remove the fact that the party is q
menace and threat to freedom under the
law, which is the only assurance OF
liberty.
The party is dangerous to free institu-
tions that can afford to nominate and
promote, as in Yolo, the candidacy of a
a man held to answer for capital offense;
who but lately posed as disturber, and
justified openly and brazenly the seizure
of the property of others, the possession
of it by armed force and its use by
violence, on the idiotic plea that it was
''strike warfare" and hence defensible
even though it involved resistance to
and defiance of the laws of the American
Republic.
We repeat, that the possible success OF
a party capable of such promotion is a
menace to human rights and free institu-
tions. a party, the organs of which daily
declare that, until the Federal arm was
interposed in the late lawlessness in this
city there had not been committed q
single unlawful act, is by such UNANIMOUSLY
false conceptions of what constitutes law
lessness, committed to disorder, the rule
of passion and the mob, and the breaking
down of every safeguard of life, liberty,
erty.
The Republican party never has been
the assailant OF free institutions; it was
born in defense of them. 1t always has
been, and is and must remain the cham
pion Of human rights and the American
republic. In the menace of the present,

kind for the Republicans of Sacramento
to maintain the party alignment, and to
encourage the output of party and indi-
vidual effort to prevent waste of votes
among divided and warning Democrats,
whose contention can have no other effect
than to augment the danger of Populistic
s,1nnass

The Tulare Register in q merry vein,
garnished by biting sarcasm, calls the at
tentIon of the campaign liar to the fact
that opportunity is again open to him.
Another instance of Gubernatorial can
didate riding on special train to fill an
appointment has cropped up. But this
time it was not on the Southern Pacific
line; the man went by hired and paid
for ''speclar" to his stump over railroad
not in the Southern Pacific system. But,
as the Register points out, that makes no
difference. 1t is precisely the parallel Of
the Southern California case, where a
candidate went by ''speciap' to his ap-
pointment. The train was rented and
paid for, but all the same the demagogues
mounted the stump and made meat Of it.,
just as they did of the incident of an
other candidate walking mile or two
upon track to catch train. The Regis
ter insists that the Visalia and Tulare in
cident shall be improved by the cam
paign liar, although the Southern Pacific
Company is not involved. 1t calls atten-
ton 70 the fact also that the candidate
spoke in a hall a long time ago owned by
a railroad company, and that he was seen
to walk over some land while in Tulare
that is owned by a railroad company,
and the Register adds: tThis will prove
a scorcher if you work it up right and or
nament it with astonishers."

Now the Gregory Hop-House Goes Up
In Smoke.
The burning of hop-houses is becoming
almost weekly occurrence this season, d,
several having already been destroyed.
Last night the new and extensive one
of Gregory Bros. Company on V street,
between Eighteenth and Nineteenth, was
destroyed shortly after O'Clock. The
fire was first discovered by the watch
man, but it had gained such headway
that he was unable to stop its progress.
An alarm was sent in from the Buffalo
Brewery, but when the fire department
arrived on the scene the building was be-
yond saving.
The hops had just been taken in from
the kiln, and baling was commenced yes
terday. Operations was begun on new
press, and five bales had been pressed
when the employees quit work.
The entire lot of hops, consisting of
thirty tons, with the exception of the five
bales, was destroyed. The loss in hops,
machinery and house is estimated at be-
tween $1,000 and $1,000, covered by an in
surance of "a, 600.
Spontaneous com mbustion is supposed to
have been the cause OF the fire.

For Picking Them Man Was Nearly
Killed Yesterday.
There came near being tragedy near
Folsom yesterday. A man (whose name
could not be learned) entered the vine
yard of a Portuguese named Castro and
was helping himself to a few grapes,
when the owner shot at him.
Castro followed up the shot by seizing
piece of wood and beating the intruder
until he was covered with wounds ana
drenched in blood.
The physician who attended the victim
found deep wound on one of his arm&,
as If bullet had taken effect there, but
as there was no bullet-hole through the
mans sleeve, and as no bullet could be
found by probing, IL IS thought the wound
may have been caused by large nail in
the stick with which Castro beat him.
The stranger was urged TO go TO the
hospital for treatment. but he wandered

THE San Francisco papers are ablaze
with Indignation just now over the treat
ment of fowls in the markets Of that city.
The chief complaint is that the birds are
crushed in coops, twice too many being
jammed in one compartment, the coops
are too low and are unsupplied with food
or water, and that in these cages the
fowls are exposed to the hot sun for
hours, and from them they are dragged
by unfeeling marketmen, their legs and
wings broken in the operation and the
creatures fevered and injured so as to be
unfit for healthy food use. What is the
matter with the San Francisco Society
for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals {?
1t is rich and strong; it has well-salaried
Secretary and number of paid officers,
and its office is but stones throw from
the chief markets. Has it grown into in
competency with age, that such things
eau be as are complained of in the press
of the metropolis? Why not adopt the
sacramento ordinance, which specifies
the hight and breadth of coops for fowls
and the number that may be confined in
one apartment; an ordinance that is en-
forced without much difficulty by the
local society, and that market men in
Sacramento, as rule. find it economic

AND now comes band of "reformers"
and proposes the introduction of the bath
tub into the public schools. Chicago is
said to have adopted it in certain of her
districts. Just what part it is to play in
education is not made clear. Cleanliness
is virtue, but shall the State or muni-
cipality enter into the domestic realm and
do that for the body of the child which
should be done by the parent and at
home? Is it not better plan to require
OF parents that their children be sent to
the schools clean of body? That is
feasible; but we doubt the wisdom of
robbing the crowded school hours of time
for bathing that should be devoted to
study. The growing disposition to pile
on to the public school system fads and
notions and new schemes OF doubtful
virtue or necessity needs to be checked.
