The record-union., 1894-12-01

IT has been charged that the reform bal
lot system is SO unwieldly that it pre-
vents many voters from voting full
ticket-therefore we should return to the
old system, under which men were
tagged by the bosses and sold as are
sheep in the market place. The Argondast
points out the falsity of the charge against
the new system, and calls in evidence the
action of the voters in San Francisco.
For instance, the largest vote was for the
lesser positions and for Freeholders.
More electors voted for these officers than
for Governor. Yet while there were but
four Gubernatorial candidates, there was
small army of candidates for the posi-
tions at the foot of ballot, and it required
intelligent search and much care to pick
out the requisite number in each case for
whom the elector might vote. We be-
lieve that this will be found to be true
throughout the State, that care was ex-
ercised by the voters, and that they were
not confused or bewildered by the blanket
ballot.

tne property-owners along streets that
nave been graded, and have the whole
matter dispassionately debated by them,
that systematic reform method be agreed
upon.
steps should be taken at once to ascer-
tam from the records. approximately at
least, what the present system costs the
people annually. We are convinced that
the disclosure viii amaze those who pay
the piper, ana that it will be found that
the same sum of money expended in
proper manner will provide for the fre-
quent cleaning OF ali the graded resi-
dence streets and the keeping of them in
fair repair.
of course any system to attain the ends
IN view must include rigid prohibition of
use OF the streets for rubbish burning or
deposit. Vegetable peddlers who make
daily practice of throwing the waste of
their carts into the cutters in front of
residences must be given to understand
that the offense is to cease. Citizens who
carry their lawn trimmings into the mid
die of the highway to be trodden down,
ground up and blown about, or absorbed
in mud that the city has to scrape up and
cart off, must be given to understand that
the slovenly habit shall stop.
Let the people move in this matter,
consult with the officials and settle upon
a new system, and see to it that when
agreed upon it is enforced. Our word for
it, the result will be clean city, money
saving aud comfort augmented.

Pictorial History
Or THE
Civil War.

This great book has sold for years
at $40 to $50 in two big volumes.
The pages are I63xII3 inches.
There are $50 pages. Lots Of maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn't
afford sI6 and kept asking for the
old ''Harpers Weekly during the
War" After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de-
stroyed and now those files are scarce.
But the big history was SO inter
estlng, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was so COM
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it.
Now it IS all cut up and everybody
is getting it and being surprised.
1t is made into 26 big parts, 32
big pages in each, and printed on
nice superintendent paper-better
than ever before-and has a hand
some buff cover with emblematic de-
sign on each part
The parts have sold as high as s.
each, but can be got for only 8 cents
each IT you know how. The
pictures alone are worth more than
that, but the story and copies OF
many official documents and state
papers OF priceless historic value, ali
go in with the pictures.

Brush That Raises No Dust.

An anti-dust brush, says CasseIrs Fam
aty M0gdz5nc, has just been patented. the
use of which does away with any neces-
sity for sprinking floors with water. tea
leaves, sawdust or any other medium for
preventing the rising of dust during the
sweeping of uncarpeted floors. The
brush itself is circular in shape, and is
surmounted by a metal reservoir in
which is carried a disinfecting fluid.
"stourolene'' by name. In the ordinary
way the brush is used rigid, but If the
dust begins to rise the pressing of peg
in the handle allows the brush to revolve
and at the same time charges it with the
fluid.

THE San Francisco Chronicle agrees
with the RECORD UNION that the ballot in
this State should be modified to conform to
the plan Of the ballot in Indiana-that is.
that the party tickets should appear in
parallel columns, with a party heading
that straight ticket may be voted if the
elector chooses. The Chronicle favors
some change in the law, also, to secure
earlier knowledge of the result OF the
voting. 1t suggests that counting may
go on almost simultaneously with voting.
Thus, if the ballots were taken out every
hour. and the totals ascertained, the COM
plete result will be known within the
hour after closing of the polls. We are
neither committed to nor opposing that
proposition now. Properly guarded it may
be well to adopt it. But the guards must
be perfect. There must be a distinct
counting board and the hourly results
must not be known until the polls close.

IF the San Francisco press is not brill
liant, it is at least original. Here we have
one of the journals of that city advising
that teaming between San Francisco and
Stockton for freight carriage be under
taken and adding that, the alleged mule
freight team from Fresno will operate on
that line. The journal in question is as
soberly as it is densely ignorant of the fact
that if there were first-class Telford roads
between the two cities, on a dead level.
and if all the freight wagons had pneu-
matte tires and ball bearings and all
mules and horses were as swift as Ara
bian chargers and tireless as camels.
wagon freighting could not be conducted
as cheaply, quickly and deslrably as the
bay and river steamers carry freight be-
tween the two points. The idea of wagon
freighting between San Francisco and
Stockton in competition with water car
riage is altogether too original to be born
of any other intelligence than that OF a
San Francisco newspaper man.

TRADE WITH MEXICO.

United States Consul German at Mata-
moros reports, under date of October
Ilth, that the effect of the new United
States tariff is felt in increased trade with
Northern Mexico. Large expectations
of dressed hides, of mules, horses, etc.,
have been added to the usual exports
heretofore made, and the prospects tor
large spring business is most cheering.
The Consul calls attention to the fact
that under the Mckinley tariff all live
! stock ceased to be exported to the United
States from Mexico, the tariff on horses
and mules being $50 each, or twice to
three times the selling value of the ami
mails in Mexico, and until about Septenl-
Der 10th not live animal had been ex-
ported. The tariff proving prohibitory.
The Consul adds:
The State Of TamauIipas stretches down tI,a
gulf coast from the mouth of the Rio Cran0a
10 Iamplco, and westward along the great
river TO Laredo, embracing in its rich Terri
! lorN thousands OF miles of the finest praZirp
iahuS IN the world over its extended DO
mann cattle, sheep, goats, horses and mules
| can roam the year round grazing on its sue
| culent grasses. There Is no frost south Of
1 Matamoros which gives a climate of almost
endless spring. mule or a horse is grown
! as cheaply as steer, with little or no care
/ except herdlng and branding. No feed of
/ any KIND is required,
| Here now Is an old nut for tariff tinkers
to crack. What will be the effect of
Mexican expectation of live stock upon
American stock growing? The horses
! now brought from Mexico are of an in
ferior order. and do not compete with
our fine stock. In the matter of good
cattle and of hides, however, the condi-
tions are more nearly equal. If, how
ever, there is stock coming over the
border, as the Consul says, then there
must be a demand for it, and it is right
policy TO open up the line of supply.
/ Again, if the Wilson tariff permits this
Importation. to what extent will we be
compensated for any loss feared by rad
ical protectionists, by the opening up to
US Of a profitable trade into Mexico along
varied lines in consequence of this new
relation?
( 1t is notorious that we have been shut
out from Mexican trade in directions that
we should take; that Germany and Eng
land foster policy with our sister re-
/ public that gives them very great COM
mercial advantage which operates to
/ limitation of our trade with Mexico. If.
! therefore, the new tariff bill when the
account is balanced proves to be of
greater benefit to American trade with
our Mexican neighbors, the question will
! be presented to the new Congress.
whether it will venture to interrupt it
! by changes. The truth is we must give
any new tariff schedule time for trial.
/ The disposition of the American people
is to judge such schedules hastily and to
reform, reject and substitute upon a
theoretical basis. Whatever will stim-
ulate our trade with Mexico, and aug
ment the exchange of products for which
there is demand, oug ht to be fostered.

AS to the bills that have been presented
by the railroad companies for transporta-
ton and supplies Tor soldiers during the
strikel, they arc perfectly just and should
be paid without question. Every com
pany or detachment of the National
Guard that was moved by rail from one
point to another during the strike in
Cured an expense which the State is in
duty bound to pay. We do not know
whether the railroad people intend put
ting in any claim, but such a claim would
rest upon justice and a proper interpre-
tation of the rights and duties of the par
ties.
The person or interest that invokes the
protection of the law is not bound TO
provide means for carrying those charged
with the execution of the law to the place
where they are needed. That expense
must be borne by the people as a whole.
And the circumstance that the party ex-
ercising his right to protection happens
to be in the transportation business can
not in any way alter this obvious fact If
the troops were called to Chicago to put
down disturbance in which the rail-
roads were III no way concerned, there
would be no more question of the right
of the companies 10 charge for their
transportation than to charge for the
moving of similar bodies of soldiers to
the frontier to quel an Indian uprising.

COTTON MILLS,

Southern newspapers are urging the
establishment of cotton mills in the
South, so as to manufacture the cotton
close TO where it is produced. The idea
is good one. But our Southern friends
and some Northern doug
not to be aware of the fact that the atti-
tude of the South in antagonism to pro-
lection has greatly retarded the estab-
lishment of cotton mills and other manu-
factories in that section. Cotton manu-
facturers cannot prosper in tho United
States without protection, and manufac-
turers naturally shrink from establishing
a business in section where the people
are hostile TO principle which is so nee
essary TO success. When the South de-
clares for protection it can get all the cot
ton mills it wants.
