TRICKS WON'T WIN.

Registrar Evans is not giving the Burns
organ a fair show. While the organ is
trying to convince the public that the
Burns nominees are the flower of the
people of the State. the Registrar is giving
conclusive evidence that his Office is being
used, apparently with the sanction of
Boss Burns, to shield persons who have
illegally registered with the presumed in
tention of casting an illegal vote. In
stead of aiding the Election Commits
sioners to purge the list of suffers, the
Registrar occupies time with the examina-
tion of persons concerning whom no COM
plant has been made. He has his own
list, composed in part of voters who have
not taken the trouble to register, and in
part of voters who can establish their
right to vote. The only object is to kill
time that should be employed in ascer-
taining if names on the register have a
right to be there. The Registrar is in
Office by virtue OF his relations with
Colonel Burns. The latter demanded the
Registrars appointment at the hands of
Governor Markham. Mr.. Burns seems 10
have anticipated that he might want tool
in the Registrars Office, and doubtless
felicitates himself on having made good
selection. But unless he mistook the
temper of the voters of this city the fan
tastic trick of the Registrar will cost the
Burns candidates thousands of votes.

THE OCTOPUS.

A local in Mondays CALL quotes Attor-
ney-GeneraI Hart as saying:
The grant by the Legislature to the town OF
Oakland was bounded 10 such manner as 10 not
only absorb the entire water front of the city
of Oakland but the whole of Alameda and for
three miles north OF Oakland ana for TWO miles
south Of Alameda In other words, to use an
illustration the grant was bounded in the shape
OF an open fan, The handle running up San An
tonic Creek and the wide part embracing The
bay on each side. commencing two miles north
of Goat Island and running to point Two miles
southwest OF Alameda. No reservation was
made in front of this open ian for public uses.
There is not another such case on record in any
other civilized country.
The Southern Pacific Company is the
claimant to this prepOsterous grant
through the parties to whom it purports to
have been made. The entire water front
of Oakland and Alameda is the prize the
Southern Pacific is contending for. The
only parallel to this grab was what was
known twenty years ago as the Parsons
bukhead scheme, which proposed TO do
for San Francisco about what the South
ern Pacific now proposes to do for Oakland
to take possession of the strip between
dry land and deep water, over which all
1t is not easy to contemplate such
schemes against the public with respect
full consideration of the parties making
them. There is point at which enemies
of the State seem to be regarded as ordi-
nary contestants for what they conceive
to be their rights. 1t is not possible for
the memb bers of the Southern Pacific Com
pany to infuse themselves with the belief
49, 81
to hold and possess such right Of property
as is advanced in this claim. They must
know that possession of such power to rob
the public will be regarded as akin in ma
ture to the power by which train.robber
gets possession OF a treasure box. The
method of acquisition may be different but
the principle is the same.
| The revival Of the proposition to make
Goat Island a railroad terminus indicates
hope on the part of the Southern Pacific
| Company that it may establish its claim
to the Oakland water front. The water
| front claim commences two miles north of
| Goat Island and extends round the point
three miles to the south. If this claim is
established Goat Island would be inacces-
sible to any other railroad company than
that which owns the Oakland water front.
The Southern Pacific now has two
schemes to enrich itself at the public ex-
pense. One is to refund its Central Pacific
debt. and thereby to obtain a term of fifty
years in which to collect the amount
| from the people of this StaIe; The other to
employ lawyers instead of shoiguns to ac-
quire the power to collect toll on ell the
products of one of the richest counties In

THE DANGER SPOT.

General Lew Wallace is not concerned
about any military power China may de-
yelop. but he perceives that as an individ-
ual competitor China is dangerous. The
General is reported as saying:
If you consider the Chinese In California a
menace at 70 cents day bow will the world
regard Chinese at and 10 cents day as they
are found at home?
The question asked by General Wallace
shows the fallacy of the theory that the
people of all countries should be permitted
to live where they may please and that the
products of all countries should have ac-
cess to the best markets. The Chinese
have created the conditions under which
they live. Whether the masses of the peo-
pie are contented and happy or not is a
question that only remotely concerns us,

THE. SENATORIAL COMBINE.

The journals of the State Senate would
be useful and instructive reading about
now for those good citizens who want to
let the best men into office. They have
not forgotten the story of the famous
Senatorial combine" which was told so
graphically by witnesses in the Taylor
trial three years ago In this city. In brief,
the evidence showed that twenty-four
Senators formed a combination to make or
unmake legislation, as circumstances rem
dered expedient. and to sell their votes to
the highest bidder. 1t was further brought
out in evidence that this combine got
$1,000 each from the Southern Pacific.
$1,000 each from the insurance compact.
$3.50 from the advocates of the Glenn
County, bill, $3.50 each from the gamblers
for passing the bill to license gambling,
$500 each for passing the Riverside County
bill and $500 for killing the pilot bills.
The value of the Senate journals lies in
the fact that they record the votes on bills
and show pretty clearly who were the
members of the famous "com bine."
1t is something Of a job for the
individual citizen to hunt up these rec
ords, but it would be good job of news
paper work TO publish them. The voter
could then see il any of the members of
the combine" are again candidates for
the Legislature or for any Office. II so his
duty as good citizen will be clear. He
cannot cast his ballot for any man who
ever sold his vote.
The man who sells his vote sells the
country and the people. He is doubly a
traitor. He is false to himself and his
trust Under government of the people,
where the ballot is supposed to be the
supreme arbiter Of public questions. the
vote-seller is the most dangerous of GRIM
inas. Treason is matter for capital pun
ishment. Vote-selling should be no less
so. Ii the names Of this combine of cor.
ruptionists should happen to be published
by all means let every voter compare il
carefully with the nominees on the tickets

SENATORIAL CIPHERS.

In refuting the intimation that improper
influence was brought to bear upon the
California Senators to induce them TO vote
for The increase in the duty on petroleum.
Senator White says, as reported in the
Examiner:
The House was compelled, as we all know. TO
accept the Senate amendments as a whole,
just the Democratic members of the Senate
were compelled TO accept the report Oh the
Finance Committee as whole.
According to Mr.. White the only men,
bers of either house who hac any in6u-
ence in tariff legislation were the majority
members of the Senate Finance Commit
tee. The chairman OF the Senate Finarcs
Committee, supported by one-half the
committee, could submit tariff bill
which. according to Mr.. White, the two
houses were compelled 10 accept. This
condition of things relieves the Senators
from California from a suspicion that
either the Standard Oil Company -Or the
Southern Pacific Company influenced their
votes. Why should influence be brought
10 bear upon individual Senators while
four or five members Of a certain commit
tee report bills which both houses are
compelled to pass
The charge that a combination between
the Standard Oil trust and the Southern
Pacific Company procured an increase IN
the rates of duty on petroleum rests rather
against the party than against individual
members of the party. The combinations
dealt with the controlling members of a
committee which gave the law TO both
houses. To have purchased the votes OF
individual members under these circum-
stances would have been a waste Of the
sinews of war. But the people would like
to know what influence compelled the
Senators to accept the report of the FL
nance Committee as a whole? Is 1t un-
derstood when Senators are elected that
they will surrender their individual jndg-
ment TO clique of spectators
who contrive TO secure positions on
the Finance Committee? The sur
render of the Democratic Senators 10
Brice, German and two or three other
Senators who were the agents of trusts is

since they do not show desire for relief.
But Americans subjected to such compe-
tltion certainly would not be contented.

to such condition of slavery. The 70 cents

moved. With population Of 10000, 600
to draw upon there is practically no limit
to the numbers that would throng In If
there was no other barrier than the $50
passage money across the Pacific. The
protection policy which has served this
country so we'll against the importations
of the products OF cheap-labor countries is
sufficiently elastic to meet any emergency
that may arise in the way of trade, but it
does not protect us against an invasion OF
cheap laborers. The only thing that will
do that is an iron-clad exclusion law.

THE EMERGENCY is PRESSING

A correspondent wants to know if En-
bassador Bayard has any more right to
make political speeches while holding
office under the administration than less
important officials have. The question
implies a disposition on the part of our
correspondent: to ignore the privileges Of
rank. Mr.. Bayard may have no more
rights than fourth-class postmaster, but
custom allows him more privileges. 1t is
not supposed that he neglects any official
duties by coming home to help the admin
istration out of its embarrassment, since
such duties as fall to the Office may be
performed by subordinates. And, then,
the emergency is a pressing one. II does

THE NEW METHOD OF VOTING.

The object of adopting the Australian
ballot was to impose on the voter the duty
of exercising personal choice in the case
of every Office that has to be filed. Un-
der the old system each party got out its
party ticket, which, in this city, contained
anywhere from sixty to seventy names
It was impossible for each voter to know
so many people well enough to form an
opinion of their fitness. Therefore he
looked at the top of the ticket only. II in
that place he found the name of his party
candidate for Governor or Presidential
Elector the average citizen voted the
whole ticket all the way down, sometimes
stopping to scratch the name of some one
to whom he objected or adding the name
of some one whom he favored. In this
way grossly unfit men. having by the
usual devices secured a nomination from
their convention, were floated into Office
by the popularity of the head of The
ticket. At every election voters cast their
ballots for men whom they did not know
or for men whom, on reflection, they did
not approve simply because they were on
the ticket which the voters principles led
him to support.
Under the new plan no voter can cast

fold. First. it will occasion pause, which
Will give the voter moment to think and
question with himself whether he is voting
wisely. and secondly. it will lead the
voter to pass over the names of a large
number of candidates whom he does not
know. lie cannot now swallow the whole
ticket blindly. He must consider each
name separately AMI use some deliberaton
in exercising the privilege of an elector.
The consequence of this will be fatal to
unknown men who were picked up by The
bosses on the promises of subserviency.
As rule voters will pass them over. 1t
will be safe to expect that for the minor
offices very small votes will be cast, and
the political records of the past will con-
,titute no guide to the pro bable result.
Popular men who have won a good reputa-
tion in their neighborhood may poll q
pretty fair vote, but the tag rag and bob
tail whom Rainey and Mahoney have
picked up to do their behests may poll so
small a vote that it will be hardly worth
counting.
The effect of the change cannot but be
injurious to the old parties and helpful to
the Non-Partisans. Having been guided
by the high purpose of putting fit men in
Office the latter have chosen as a rule men
who were known and whose records spoke
for them, while the former were guided In
their selections by considerations of favor
itism and past affiliations. Burns and
Rainey put forward their friends. The
Non-Partisans had no friends to serve;
they chose candidates in the public inier-
est alone. Hence the odds are that when
the impartial voter reiires into the seclu-
sion of his booth and finds himself called
upon TO choose between men whom he has
often heard we'll spoken of and a man
whose name be never heard in his life, he
will elect to vote for the former, and that
be will not take the trouble to cross names
