passions among thousands of laborers,
and the strikes which have followed their
victory at the polls have been but a con-
tlnuance of that campaign. The strikes
were provoked in a large measure by
disappointment because the promises
MADE by Democratic orators were not
tuIhlled. The ignorant men to whom
the appeal was addressed were deceived
by promises of material gain. The busi-
ness propositions advanced by Demo-
Gratis ana Populists, like their political
theories, have proved to be false They
played upon the ignorance, greed and
hate OF their listeners, and thus made the
men who work in the vineyard hate the
men who pay them at nighttall.

RAILROAD COMMISSIONER BECKMAN

Generally the newspapers of this dis
trlct, regardless of politics, have ONLY
words OF commentator for the Hon.
| William Beckman, the Republican NOM
lnee TOR railroad Commissioner ior this
district. We make a few extracts:
The problem of the railroads. is all
important to California. Railroad Com
mlssloners should be men of the HIGHEST
ability, Judgment and standing in The
community. William Beckman, who is
the Republican nominee for Railroad
Commissioner for the First District, was
one of Sacramento County's best Super
Vlsors. He is a public-spirited citizen
and belongs to the 'OId Guard" of the
war days.
William Beckman, present Railroad
commissioner from Chis district and cam
uldate Tor reelection on the Republican
ticket has made a faithful officer.

Stockton independently
Rasmus Anderson of Wisconsin. Cleye-
lands first Minister to Denmark. has
abandoned the Democratic party. Ras-
mus detection is considered important
because he is the author of the Wisconsin
gerrymander and is a man of influence
among The Scandinavians. He is an &C.
centric character who first attained inter
national fame by insisting on shaking
hands with the Queen of Denmark when
presented to her majesty, an act that was
considered gross breach of court eti-
quette. His disatfection is about as i'm
portant as that of Colonel Hamilton
Hoge OF Roanoke, Virginia, whom the
hepuDIlcans OF bis district recently NOM
mated for Congress.
HOW THEY HELP.
TOrovilIe Mercuryl
The Populists are making a great
deal of noise, but the contest is between
the Democrats and the Republicans, and
there Is no possible chance tor any Pom
ullst being elected 10 any State or Ma
tlonai once In this State. No Democrat,
however much he may be inclined to the
PopulIsts, wants TO help the Republicans.
ana yet that Is just What be is doing in
voting Tor PopuIlst candidates.
INTERFERENCE.
Stockton Maill
interference on the part of European
powers IN the China-Japauese war would
strike the unprejudiced observer as a
considerable piece of impudence. They
resent interference when they them
selves are engaged in the rascailv busi-
ness OF butchering one another, and growl
omlnously, like dog over a bone, when
q humane spectator suggests that they
treat the conquered with consideration,
The European Powers occupy no supe-
rlor plane from which they are warranted
to dictate to Japan what il shall do in the
event that 1t conquers China.
