ON THE WARPATH.

The little misunderstanding among men,
bers of the Ladies' Suffrage Association in
respect to the presidency Of that body
should not be urged against the fitness Of
women TO take hand in politics. Moth
Ing that is worth having is gained wlshout
an effort. That the ladies should stand up
for what they conceive to be their right,
and finally submit the question in dispute
to arbitration, is an example men might do
well to follow. Men are making progress
In that direction, but there are still fre-
Quent occasions when their misundersiand-
iugs are arbitrated on the field of honor or
in the courtroom. a distinguished MEM
ber of the New York constitutional con-
ventioD disposed of the woman suffrage
argument by the assertion that only fight
ers should vote and that women cannot
fight. Ii ho had been in the st. George
Club hall on Tuesday evening he might
have been induced to reverse his position.
That women could fight if not restrained
by a keener sense of propriety than the
average man possesses was evident to the
janitor, the only man on the premises.
There was one incident which seems TO in
dicate an indisposition on the part of
women when excited to fight fair. 1t was
a blow below the belt for one woman yet
young 10 intimate that the $50 years of an

THE WOOL SCHEDULE.

Chicago free-trade paper has figured
out to its Own satisfaction that the wool
schedule in the new ;Aiiff will save the
consumers S163, ,000, ,0OO a year. The basis
of this figuring is that there would be
saving OF duties amounting TO about
$4,000. 600. which. so far as consumers are
concerned, would be extended to domestic
productions. 1t is assumed that wooden
manufacturers would be compelled to re-
duce prices 10 the full extent Of the
reductions made on imported goods as a
result Of reduced rates of duties. There
are two reasons why this assumption is
not warranted. First, the consumer of
imported wooden goods has never paid the
entire duty on such cloth. Part of il, and
often the larger part, has been paid by the
foreign manufacturer to get his gods into
our market. Second, the American manu-
facturer has not added the full duty on
foreign cloth to the price OH home CLOTH
IL there had been but one wooden manu-
facturer in the country he might have
done so, but as there are a great many,
prices have been governed by home COM
petition quite as much as by foreign COM
petition. But if we admit that home
manufacturers Will reduce prices TO the
full extsnt of the reduction in duties, at
what cost is this reduction made? Does
| any one imagine that the manufacturer
| will stand all the loss? Win he not put it

HOW TO NOMINATE.

The Alameda NOn-Partisan County Con-
vention met in the morning, placed oD
record list Of names for each nOmiDa-
ton TO be made, adjourned to consider the
relative merits Of aspirants, met again in
the afternoon and voted for the several
aspiTants on the so-called Australian plan.
The aspiraut who got the largest number
of votes was declared the nominee. No
one knew how individual members of the
convention voted unless the member chose
to impart such information. This seems a
pretty good way to dispense with the
agency of the modern boss in our State
and municipal politics. There is no limit
to the number of names that may be
placed at the disposal of the convention.
There is no limit to the time the conven-
ton may take to consider the names pre-
sented. Aud when the convention meets
10 vote there Is DO means by which a boss
or his agent may ascertain how the several
delegates voted. All that is known is the
number of votes cast for each aspirant.
Under the present system men work for
positions as delegate that they may render
the boss service that in turn will entitle
them to a nomination. The boss has his
eye on the ambitious delegate from start
to finish. He knows just what each of the
leading delegates is doing. If there is
any reachery the boss discovers it. When
the roll is called each delegate goes on the
record. Under the new plan any aspirant
can get his name On the list for whom a
delegate will assume the responsibility
that attaches 10 the naming of one. In the
recess there may be comparison of records
but when the voting is begun each dele
gate votes on his own Judgment Assum-
ing that there are delegates who would
sell their vote it would De very difficult for
them TO prove that they voted as directed
Expending money to secure the election of
delegates who could not be followed in ali
their movements would be much too
hazardous business for the average boss
to engage in

THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY CON-
VENTION.

The fact that primary has been called
to elect delegates 10 the municipal conven-
tion does not in the least impair the conf
dence of aspiraDts for nominations that
Colonel Burns holds their fate in his
hands. There has never been a time when
the power of a boss to dispense favors has
been more generally conceded. The pri-
mary election committee selects election
officers, polling places, and IS as a can
vassing and returning board. The dele
gates who may have the largest mum Der Of
votes will be given certificates only on
giving a pledge not to be a candidate be-
fore the convention. If any delegate elect
refuses TO sign such pledge he thereby
creates vacancy which the primary COM
mittee is authorized 10 fill. A supple
mental resolution to the effect that the
primary committee may make such other
qualifications as may seem to them requi-
site and refuse to issue creden tials to
delegates-elect not reaching their ideal
was slipped in among others and indorsed
without comment. 1t is a little strange
that with a primary to be held under the
direction OF the distinguished citizens who
compose the primary committee aspirants
for office should persist in trying to get on

which was only occupied IN spots by In
dinDs. No lie could be more congenial 10
lazy Mexican than to own a vast trac of
pasture Ian d and to I've on the proceeds of
sales OF cattle which reproduced them
selves with surprising rapidity. Each sue
cesslve Governor UTILIZED his brief term of
ONCE by granting princpalities TO his
friends. The business was done with lavish
hand. Tne grantees did not pay for the
land. 1t was given them as a reward for
virtue and as slight testimonial of the
grantor's regard. The United States Land
Commission reported that in some cases
the only consideration which the Mexican
Governor appeared to have received was
the price OF the stamps affixed to the deed
of grant.
The shocking outrages to which this
system gave rise are relsted in the history
of Temecula. 1t would be agreeable, now
that the venerable PIco is gone, to record
that he took no part in them. But that
cannot be said. Some If the grants which
the commission had the least difficulty in
rejecting bore his name. He was the off,
spring of his generation. 1t is in Interesting
to speculate on what might have been the
fate of California il the American occupa-
ton had not taken place and the discovery
of gold had not attracted an influx of law
abiding settlers. 1t is probable that it
might never have risen In this century
above the pastoral stage, and that the
magnificent valleys which are now yield.

PiO PICO.

The non ogenaTlan who died on Tuesday
at Los Angeles was a connecting link be-
tween two civilizations. He represented
in his youth the high-spirited regime of the
early Spanish settlers; his old age he
spent in the patient endurance OF poverty
under the most stable of all stable Gov
ernments.
He was the offshoot OF the conditions
under which he grew to manhood When
he began to take part in public affairs
Upper California contained about 1000
persons of Spanish descent, 500 foreigners.
perhaps 10000 Indians, of whom about
$4,000 were bound to seryitude on the
twenty-one missions. There were five
presidios. which developed into pueblos-
San Francisco, Monterey, Santa Barbara,
Los Angeles and San Diego. Outside of
the range of the guns of these presidios
there were practically no whites. The
country was governed by priests and
soldiers. The soil was exuberant with
fertility and the climate serene. The old
bishop might have said of California as
he said of another region. Every pros
pect pleases and only man is vile." Wealth
was concentrated in the bands of the mis-
sions and depended on the regular supply
of subservent labor.
