GEARY OUT OF THR RACE-WHY NOT
BARNEY MURPHY

The action of Congressman Geary in
voting against the Wilson bill was one
OF great intrepidity. He undoubtedly
responded to his conscience and to his
sense Of duty to his constituents in 30
doing. To use q hackneyed term, he
showed that he had ''the courage OF his
convictions" At the same time, If Mr..
Geary had any gubernatorial aspirations
his vote threw the fat in the fire, as the
homely phrase goes. We are inclined
to think that the gentleman's vote
simply indicates that if he had ever iu-
tended to enter the contest for the guber-
Material prize he has relinquished that
intention, and that his eye is fixed with
great intensity on succeeding himself in
the house of representatives. His vote
is explainable on no other hypothesis.
Until Mr.. Geary's attitude on the
tariff, and we do not wish to be under
stood as finding fault with him, he was
very formidable candidate for governor
on the Democratic ticket. In fact, he
might have been called a hot fsvorite
Notwithstanding the fact that his vote
on silver displsssed large element in
his own party. Unless some striking
changes shall take place between now
and the date of the meeting of the next
Democratic State convention, Congress-
man Geary is mot in it."
While the Democrats are looking
around for an available candidate why
not center on Hon B. D. Murphy OF
San Jose? Barney" Murphy, aH he is
familiarity called, is personally one
of the half dozen men most
popular in California. His name
is the synonym for integrity, his
abilities are of high order, his Democ-
racy is of the ideal kind, and he has
never been beaten for anything he ever
ran for. His nomination would excite
an unbounded enthusiasm, and all fac
tions of the Democracy and thousands OF
Republicans would close around him
him like q stone wall. He has not been
engaged in public life for some years
past, which would be all in his favor. 1t
is doubtful if be has an enemy in the
state, and in his case this does not arise,
as it does in so many others, from lack
of force of character ,lbut from downright
good nature and bonhomie. In close
election his personal popularity would
carry the fight. and such men are useful
to party.
In view of these unquestioned facts,
let no one forget the name OF the Santa
Clara statesman when he is making up
his list OF probable Democratic candi-
dates. He would turn out to be a per-
feet political mascot.

ITO let" which Is heard go often, adj
mits of material notifications.
There has been no time in the history
OF San Franciscan which, when every
thing seemed gruesome. something did
not occur to brighten matters up. In
1872 the talk about hard times and
houses to let was worse than it is now.
After everyone had howled himself
hoarse the big Bonanza put in an ap-
pearance and King Solomon's court
could not have excelled the splendors
that characterized the Golden Gate. We
are curious to see if the Midwinter fair
shall this time prove to be the thing
that will pull the great, grumbling city
out of the Slough OF Despond. We
should not be whit surprised if such
should prove to be the case.

The large majority that the Wilson
bill received in the house establishes its
certainty of passing the senate, with
notifications. There is no hope that
the sugsr bounty can be replaced, but
the absolute necessity of finding some
method OF bringing the revenue up to a
point consistent with the expenditures
ought to induce the senate to place q
reasonable tax on imported sugar. That
would at once solve the revenue diff.
Guilty and encourage the sugar-produc-
ing interests of this country. If Sena-
tor White, who is entirely in sympathy
with this idea. should succeed in secur-
ing such an amendment to the Wilson
bill, he would establish an invincible
popularity on this coast.

THE Rio Grande Western is the most
prosperous rsilroad in the country, if
we take the fact into consideration tina
it has restored the wages of its employ
ees to the scale in force last October,
when ten per cent reduction was inn
posed. The reports of all the railroads
in the United States show net earnings
that represented 80 per cent on their
capitalization, only small fraction be-
low that of the preceding year. With
this fine showing, notwithstanding the
depression in business and the financial
troubles the country encountered, the
railroads should be able to resume at
once their normal relations with their
EMPLOYEES,

The gas company in San Francisco is
about to introduce machine which acts
on the nickel-in-the-slot principle. As
the gas is consumed piece of money
has to be put in the slot to keep up the
supply, or out goes the light. This is a
psy-as-you-go invention, and secures the
company against bad bills.

MISS WELLS LECTURE.
Lynchinxs In the south Gives Her n
Subject.

.T.ynching and Its Remedy was the sub
feet of a lecture delivered last evening in
the Metropolitan A. NJ E. Church by Miss
Ida B. Wells. The talk was under the
auspices of the Bethel Historical and Liter
airy Society, and a large audience of col
ored people were in attendance. Miss
Wells began her discourse with history
of the colored race since the war, telling
of the Ku-Klux Khan, the laws regarding
the Jim Crow car and those in relation
to the intermarriase OF colored and white
persons. The speaker told of negroes not
being allowed in the schools, churches or
other places where people congregate, in
the south; that the great majority of pris-
oners in the penal Institutions of the south
were negroes, incarcerated for mere petty
misdemeanors. The incarcerating of thou
sands Of negroes every year in this man
ner, according to Miss Wells, means the
annulling of that many negro votes.
Miss Wells declared the convict lease SyS-
tenn to be a blot on the face of the south
slavery under another name. AS years go
by, the speaker went on to say, lynchings
of negroes steadily increase. The state
ment that lynchings would cease If negroes
would discontinue committing crimes upon
white women was challenged by Miss Wells,
who contended that less than One-third of
800 lynchings have been committed be-
cause of the crime in question. Sentiment
in favor of the negroes in the south can
not be aroused. 1T was argued. because the
)ynchers own the newspapers and influence
the authorities. In closing, Miss Wells
stated that the remedy for lynChings is to
publish the facts and secure wave of
public sentiment against such outrages.
The lecturer was frequently interrupted
by applause. Seated on the platform were
Rev. DR.. J. T. Jenifer, Prof. George w.
Cook, Miss NJ. r. Bowen, Lewis III. Doug
lass and f. G. Barbados.

JUDGE CLARkE'S CASE.
1t Cannot he Taken Up Until After
the Holidays.

The papers in the case of Charles d.
Clarke, whose confirmation as judge of the
district court of the middle and eastern
Tennessee district the Senate, in executive
session, yesterday decided to reconsider,
have been referred to the judiciary COM
mittee, but Senator Pugh, the chairman of
the committee, said today that it would be
impracticable to get the committee together,
to consider the case until after the hol-
days. He says the matter will then be
taken up with as much promptness as pos
sible and the facts sifted, so as to dispose
of the nomlnation, in order that the bus
mess of the district may not be disturbed
by the absence of judge any longer than
may be necessary.
1t is understood that the committees rea-
son for its unusually prompt action in
confirming the Clark nomination, in the
first instance is found in the fact that
the business of the court over which he
had been nominated to preside is suffering
on account of the vacancy. There appear
ed no opposition to Mr.. Clarke's contirma-
ton, consequently the committee departed
from it's usual course of allowing judicial
nominations to rest for time before re-
Iorting them and handed in its report in
this case with unusual dispatch.

EVERYBODY DENIES.
President Dunlop Says There L. No
Discomfort Among the Men.

At the time the Metropolitan railway
employees formed an association 1t was
noted that while a scattering of the en-
ployes from several of the street railways
were present none were on hand from the
Washington and Georgetown road. This
gave rise TO considerable talk, and 1t has
been freely stated that the employees of the
Washington and Georgetown road had re-
ceived pretty direct limitations from the
officials that they had better not join the
association If they wished to retain their
positions 1t was also said that several
times in the past year, when dissatisfaction
existed among the Washington and George
town men. the prompt and summary dis
charge Of a few OF the ringleaders had put
a. damper on any thoughts of combination
or of a strike. President Dunlop of the
Washington and Georgetown road said to
a Star reporter today, however, that so
far as the officials OF the road were con-
cerned, there was absolutely no truth In
the assertion that they had ever consider
ed or suggested that the men could not
Join any association. The feeling between
the men and the road, he said, was of the
most cordial nature, and there had not
been more than two or three discharges in
the past month or six weeks, and that
these were made for good and sufficient
reasons He did not believe that there was
any dissatisfaction among the men, who
already had in existence a well-run bene-
fetal association with some $4,000 in its
treasury. Several of the employees of the
road were asked by a Star reporter if 1t
was true that the men had been warned
not to join the new union under pain of
dismissal Those questioned said that they
had not heard of such order, either
written or verbal. and knew nothing about
IL. neither could they state whether or not
eny of the Washington and Georgetown
employees would join this society.
