BsTRR AND the REPUBLICAN NOMINAL
TON.

Next Tuesday will open on . fateful
day at Sacramento. The indications
point to the nomination of Morris NJ.
Estee for governor, netwithst snding the
frenzied appeals OF O certain would be
dictator in this city. Notwithstanding
his overwhelming defeat by Stonemsn
in 1882. we are inclined to look upon the
Napa granger as about as strong candi-
date as his party could nominate. That
year WAS exceptional politically, in
every sense of the word. The Repub-
licsns had been foolish enough to adopt
a sumptuary law platform, and dug mp
an obsolete old Sunday law that had
never been enforced and had been for
gotten by most people. The result was
to give us the whole German-American
vote and the votes OF other American
citizens born abroad, and who believe
in keeping the church out Of politics.
Then Eetee, at that time, was wagipg a
force war sgainst the railway. Thus
SLOVENIAN got the votes of the anti
railway people and of those whom the
railway could influence. He got, be-
sides, the vote OF every man who
thought that the old liberal ideas ought
still to prevail in the golden common
wealth. 1t is understood that, just now.
there is no fight between Estee and the
railway company, who are supposed to
be out of politics. There is no ques-
ton OF the fact that, in 1882, he made
one of the ablest and most eloquent
campaigns ever chroniced in this state.
This is an admission which is due to
the man. as he is eminently free from
party acerbities and treats his oppo-
neDts with high-bred courtesy. We do
not say that he or any other Republican
is absolutely strong this year, but fo-
the life OF us we cannot see why he is
not IS strong as any man in his party
in this state, and far stronger than any
man who has thus far been mentioned
for the position of Republican caadi-
date. There Is certainly no other Re-
publican in California who can exceed
him in a plausible and effective present.

Angeles Times to the contrary notwith'

amount to 2,254 900 bushels this week

IT IS great pity that the city council
has granted 30 many valuable franchises
to corporations without exacting any
qu&d pro quo. Privileges worth millions
have been handed over without the ex-
action of any equivalent whatsoever. In
many of the eastern cities q great por-
ton OF the taxes are paid by corpora.
tions to which special privileges have
been accorded. The council just now ie
engaged in a dispute with the Sunset
Telephone company. For wonder, in
granting the telephone franchise the
council retained the right to fix the
rates to be charged by the company. In
the exercise of this right they have met
with considerable opposition from the
telephone officials. 1t goes without say
ing that duty to their constituents
compels conscientious councilmen to
place the rates as low az con-
sistent with fair play to the telephone
company. The officials of this corpora
tion claim that the council has placed
these rates so low az not to admit OF the
payment of anything like fair dividend
on the stock of the company. 1t be-
hooves the telephone officials to make
very clear case to override the just de-
mands of the public, who, in general,

THE American people will look with
extreme disgust on any proposition to
surrender to the revolutionists of Saliva
dor the political refugees who are on
board the Bennington. One of our
proudest boasts has been that this coun.
try is the refuge of the politically unfor-
tunate, and the deck of an American
man oi-war is portion of the United
States. England has also made glori-
GUS record in this line. and no amount
of pressure from any source has ever
availed to make her renounce her trsdi.
tional policy. The peculiar ferocity of
the Central and South American repub-
lies makes it specially obligatory to OBJ
serve this rule on grounds of ordinary
humanity, if on no other. 1t would be
positive murder to surrender these I'M

THREATENED men, the old adage runs,
live long. The newspaper correspond
ents have been making very diligent ef-
forts to kill off President Cleveland for
over year past. A very sick man
would be very unlikely to go to sea. The
friends of the robust occupant of the
White House say that he enjoys excel
lent health, and they are very likely &c
know. The only two presidents who
ever died in the White House, William
Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor,
were quite old when they entered it,
and they had been worn out by the
hardships of war. OF course Lincoln
and Garfield do not enter into the count,
for they were disseminated.

Another silver Missioaary,

LONDON, June 15.-Sir David NJ. { Ir-
bour, formerly finance minister for In
dia, delivered lecture tonight on the
currency question. He said he believed
that the complete and permanent ex-
clusion of silver from the monetary
standards OF the world was absolutely
impossible. If it could bs obtained it
would cause one of this greatest disas-
terra that ever befell humanity. He saw
no satisfactory remedy for the financial
depression, except general adoption of
the double standard legal tender. He
thought the government would be justi-
fed in trying to establish gold stand
ard in India as last recourse, but it
would neither cloee the controversy nor
give monetary pence to the world.
