INDEPENDENT CANDID AcY.

We are delighted to see the tendency
toward independent candidacy as a fruit
of the Australian ballot system. Under
the old system of elections to be on a
ticket was decided advantage. Perhaps
ninety per cent. of the votes received by
candidates has been due to the fact that
they were nominated by regular conven-
tions of the party, and received all the
well disciplined party votes. Party
discipline of itself grew out of the value
of a nomination. When the parties had
choice between those presented. Con-
yention manipulation begins with the
primaries-even behind that, with the
party eaucuses preceding the primaries.
These are controlled in large measure by
the vensl elements of politics. At the
incipisnt beginning of the nomination in
the caucus room. the majority of those
present belong to the class who make 9
trade or occupation of politics and who
offer their services for hire.
The political boss is simply one who
directs and controls the corruptible els-
ment Of national life, and he controls
this In the interest of corruption. The
superior activity and political sagacity of
the venal element prevails in nomins-
tions as rule. It is true that many good
men are nominated for Office. But the
man who does not know that the ticket
presented by any political party was
chosen by the boss. confesses to state of
ignorance which should disqualify him
from the exercise of the elective fran
chise. The man who will pretend that
any ticket to be placed in the field in this
year Of grace in the State of California
will not be the choice Of q political boss
The record-union., 1894-08-18

will simply make hypocritical pretense
of either ignorance or innocence. In all
candor the truth cannot be denied that
the boss is omnipotent in party organiza-
ton, and, through the boss, venality
governs the country.
Independent candidacy will do much
to cure this condition of affairs. The man
who has peculiar fitness for the discharge
of the duties of great Office, and for
whom the people would like to vote, has
his opportunity in independent candi-
dacy. Yearly, government in all its as
poets, whether State. national, county or
municipal, becomes more and more ex-
travagant; and this is true because the
manipulators of politics desire TO increase
the revenues of their profession. The
best peoples party that can be organized
is the concerted action on the part of the
people through Independent nominations,
as provided for by the Australian ballot
system. In this way it will be possible
to elect men of distinguished ability and
probity to public Office, and thus restore
the administration of government in all
its departments to the ideal honesty and
purity in which republican institutions
were founded.

MADAME JANAUSCHEK's indignant
protest against the advent of the Pollard
woman upon the dramatic stage will find
symps sthetic response in every heart not
prostituted to sensationalism and in
deeency. Janauschek is an old woman;
for all her life since responsibility she has
been an actress, and has led q clean life
and commanded the respect of the peo-
pie. She therefore very properly pro-
tests against the stage, unclean as may be
many upon it, immoral and debased as
are and have been many who have trod
its boards, being polluted still more by
the posing of the Pollard creature, and
the exhibition of this wanton under the
thin guise of an actress" The venera-
BILE artist has. it appears, the active aid OF
some good women at the Fast, who pro-
pose to appeal to managers generally to
close their doors against the Pollard out
ft. Let US hope that they will be sue
eessful, and that whatever the demerits
of the stage, this threatened crowning in
fanny may not be visited upon it.

We suggest to the candidates for Gov
ernor and for Members of Congress from
this State in the current campaign the
Governmental construction of railroads
and the Improvement of the water ways.
The bonded Indebtedness, for the pay
ment of which the Government would
become responsible. would convert all
the principal rivers of the United States
into magnificent ship canals. When
these things are considered. Government
ownership of the existing railroads be-
comes very impoverished conception.

No INFLUENCE has been more stead
fastly opposed to the further influx
of the Chinese into California than the
RECORD UNION. It has advocated re-
striction of such immigration for many
years, on economic grounds and in the
interest of American labor and civiliza-
ton. But we fail to find in the new Chi
nese treaty the cause for alarm that the
hysterical San Francisco Bulletin dis
covers in the convention. Il seems to US
that if China ratifies the treaty it COM
mits that nation irrevocably to the Ameri-
can policy OF restriction and the right to
limit the entry of Chinese into this coun-
try. We do not find in the merchants,
travellers and creditors" clauses the open
doors which the Bulletin sees. Under
the treaty, restriction of Chinese immi-
grafton will be less difficult, and. as we
now view it, can be made more rigid than
under present regulations.

THERE is studied effort along the whole
line of Populist campaigning to impress
age-earners with the idea that Con-
gress, the courts, the Federal and the
local authorities are all In hostility to
workers. In Populist paper before us
this is openly asserted. Sensible people
know it to be untruth. The courts and
the authorities are sworn to uphold and
enforce the laws. not against wsge-sarn-
ers more than against wsge-payers, but
against all comers who are offenders
against the law. If they did not do this,
the Populists themselves would have no
protection in disseminating the false
statements in which they indulge.

Ex-CoNaREssMAN CLOVER OF Kansas
elected in 1890 upon the Populist ticket,
and who is o leader in the National
Farmers Alliance, has left the Populist
party and written a letter explaining
why. In brief, it sums up that the party
is one of impracticability that the efarm-
ers of the West by supporting it are con-
tributing to the depression of trade, agri-
Republican ranks, and warns his Popu-
list farmer friends that their position
means the further domination of the
Democratic party. and the postpone
ment of every reform for which they
have made demand.

Speaking of the scheme TO bring all
wage -sarners into one organization, so as
to make a strike irresistible, the Public
Ledger of Philadelphia, referring to these
figures, says:
The average percentum of these expendi-
lures paid to labor is about go per cent, and
the gross sum paid by the employers 10 their
employees, in round numbers, 3143, ,000,0O
If it were possible to bring all these employees
into q single organization, and they should
strike in order to represS the real or imaginary
wrong of one of their number, the loss which
they would suffer would be out of all proper
tion to the object OF the strike. Such con-
test would infliot an injury upon hundreds OF
thousands of wageearners SO great as TO be
wholly indefensible, as the workingmen would
be the chief, the greatest sufferers. In all the
practical affairs OF life the welfare Of the many
cannot wisely be sacrificed to the advantage
of the individual, and whatever may be the
theoretical merits OF the principle Of the pro-
posed new labor organization, 1t is doubtful
If it is one which can be rendered successful
upon any recognized principle of social econ
Omy.

THE CONSOLIDATION SCHEME.

The cold figures illuminating fact are
worth oceans of dogmatic assertion and
seas of sentiment To the charge that
railways do not afford labor due reward
the figures prove that the largest percent
age of railway expenses is for labor.
Thus, as an expert statistician has ascer-
tanned, ten of the largest railway organi-
cations being selected for illustration. that
over 90 per cent. of the railway expenses
of the country are for labor. The tabula-
ton is as follows:

HARPER'S
Pictorial History
Civil w ar.

This great book has sold for years
at $I6 to $50 in two big volumes.
The pages are I65xII3 inches.
There are 832 pages. Lots of maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn't
afford SIC and kept asking for the
old "Harper's 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-
esting, 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, 80
big pages in each, and printed on
nice supercalendered 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 81
each, but can be got for only 8 cents
each if 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, all
go in with the pictures.
