inducing customers, since he offers alb
normally low rates and glittering in
ducements. But in seven cases out OF
ten the scheme is a swindle pure and
simple, and in every case the money
the schemer secures is carted off and
out of Sacramento circulation and is
just that much taken from the legiti-
mate businesses of the city, that had a
better right to it.
Two instances of that kind have en-
phasiZed the truth of these remarks
within month, in which pro-
nounced swindles have succeeded with
business men who had refused local
houses support in similar, but safe
and honest directions.
In another case a strange collection
agent came into the community and
set up over the heads of old-established
collection agencies, and without voucher
or letter of credit succeeded in fleeing
a number Of business houses by induc-
ing them to enter into catch-penny
device for collecting bills and securing
legal services without much cost. The
agency collapsed, of course, and the
swindler left with the stolen coin Of his
dupes But had a Sacramento collec-
tion agency presented such scheme to
business men it would not have received
a single brace of subscribers, much
less money advances.
These are the facts of which there
should be publicity. Sally who lives
in our alley should be charming girl
for US; we insist that Sally should have
our smiles and favors, so long as she
lives in the alley and is worthy of recog-
milton. If the men in business in Sac
ramento do not patronize the home men
in business who are able to supply their
wants, how can they expect support
themselves? Suppose we all start in
now, everyone, and at once, and buy
abroad whatever we can as well buy at
home, and take note of how long the
practice will stand the pressure.

THE CITY, NOT MEN.

It would be humiliating indeed if there
was but one man in the city of Sacra-
mento fit and able to be its Mayor. Yet
If the voice of the opposition to the Re-
publican nominee Is to be needed, there
certainly Is but one each OF three kinds,
and, according to the partisans of each,
all the virtues reside in their respective
banner bearers.
What absurdity There are within the
ranks of the Republican party any num-
Der of good men and true who are fit for
the office, and who have the esteem and
high respect of the whole community.
J. w. Wilson is one OF them. That he
has been chosen means that his deserving
has made him conspicuous. his long
service has commanded recognition. and
that his character inspires respect and
trustfulness.
estimate other people may put upon his
intelligence will aver that his particular
candidate alone can save this city from
going to the dogs. The fact is, that If
disaster should sweep all four OF the cam
didates now contending for the Mayor
atty from this scene OF action, Sacra-
mento would continue to grow, to pro-
gress, to fill her daily round, and busi-
ness would 60 on as before.
Cities are OF infinitely greater import
ance than candidates. and hence it is that
the Record Z Mon. having the interests
OF the city at heart more than the ambi-
tions of men, advises and urges the cleo
ton of J. W. Wilson. the nominee of the
Republican party, because it believes that
1t will be better for the commonweal,
better for the municipality. better for
each individual unit of the city that Mr..
Wilson should be chosen and the Re-
publican party once more given control
Of and held responsible for the admins
tration OF public affairs.

LOCAL RECIPROCITY AND BUSI-
NESS FAIR PLAY.

It has been Of late quite the custom
for promoters of entertainments given
for Sacramento coin, to come from San
Francisco with their programmes ami
tickets, and even the small-fry print
ing, ready done, having been bartered
for and executed in San Francisco.
That is the privilege of the show people;
but il ought to be the duty Of our own
people. as it is their privilege, to refuse
to patronize such entertainments. 1t is
no small matter either, for there is a
principle of fair play and reciprocity
involved. The caterer saves nothing,
since he can get just as much in Sacra-
mento for his coin as in San Francisco.
To come here then and ask that he be
patronized, and yet in turn refuse -
procure his supplies from the people
whose money he solicits, is not only
mean but scurvy.
There has been all too much of this
sort of thing, and it ought TO be sat
down upon with a dull thud 1t relates
not only to concerts, shows and lee
lures, but to some extent to business.
We recall one instance in which party
established business here and be-
sought the support of our people, but
his cards. biIlheads. posters, catalogues,
stamped-paper, tags and labels were all
brought from abroad. though every ar
tiele could have been had in Sacramento
in as good style and at the same price.
What calf had that man upon the
paper-dealers, printers. binders, en-
eravers and other business houses OF
Sacramento for patronage?
And right here a word TO our own a
local house that originates a scheme
of advertising which it esteems worthy
of consideration very often finds it ex-
oeeaingIy difficult to gain the conf
dence and support of our people, though
the reliability may be unquestioned
II is a case of a prophet in his own
land. But rarely does stranger come
into the community with an advertis-
-. scheme of some sort but he finds
roadv customers who belle their bust
ness wisdom by their guilibility. The
stranger, generally wholly unknown anc
unyouched for. finds little difficulty IN

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Since all hands and the cook have ''got
in" and copied the main features of the
Republican city platform into their arti-
Giles of municipal faith. we do not hear so
much said about the "cobble-stone plat
FORM" Some of the cobbles have got
crosswise, evidently, in the Threats of
candidates. whippers-in.
The SANDER mill has been started
against the head and the body of the Re-
publican ticket. Our advice to the cam
didates is to keep still and let the mill
grind on. One assailant has gone SO far
as to put it this way. "He has been
charged with this, and has not denied it. !"
So, indeed? Then tbs sufficient. is it, to
prefer charge and hold the man guilty
until he disproves mere assertion? That
appears to be the rule of action in good
many quarters in these days. But it is
as infamous as it is foul, and the con-
sciously innocent man will in the pres
ence of such monstrous claim remain
silent. Life is too short to follow around
scandal mongers and down their lies.
When something in the nature of proof
of a charge is adduced it is time enough
to make defense. If men would adopt
this rule of conduct there would be more
happiness and less worry in the world.
and SANDER would weary of its task.

The death of Northumberland
Willard is announced. 1t was antici-
pated, as the Record U Mon said the other
day, for the long illness of the sufferer
had so wasted his body, that not even his
wonderful will power served any longer
to sustain him. His loss to the State will
be keenly felt. He was young man OF
fine promise and high character. and
especially in the southern part of the
highly esteemed citizen. He was less
known in the upper part Of the State,
but wherever known, was admired and
esteemed.

The dispatches latest at hand say that
Japan protested firmly. but courteously,
against Russian Interference in the affairs
of Corea, but that the Gar made no re-
ply further than acknowledgment of the
been taken that constitutes most sig
nificant reply-the Russian fleet has been
ordered TO sail from Vladivostook, and
mass in two OF the chief ports of Corea
Japan on her part has called home her
European squadrons. There is but one
way now out of war. and that it is very
likely will be taken, namely. the di-
vision of Corea between the two Powers.
While Russia has the ability to refuse
even this and hold Japan at arms length,
since the Car is not inclined to war
where honorable peace is possible. it is
likely that his Government will consent
TO partition. But oven in that case
Japan's share will be small. If the
Japanese, however, refuse some COM
promise of this order, and prefer to en-
gage in struggle with Russia. China will
find her opportunity and certainly be-
come a Russian ally. But even If she
does not flank the Japanese, Russia can

The journal known as Our Animal
Friends, published by the chief Of the
American Humane Societies, pronounces
women who wear egret plumes (ai-
grettes), with knowledge of what the
wearing means, feminine monsters"
This is harsh Language. But how far is
the Friend wrong when we consider this
explanations:
These plumes are the nuptial ornaments OF
herons, and are worn only during the breed
ing season, when they are common TO both
sexes. Hence, in order to secure them, the
birds must be killed during the nesting
period. If it be borne in mind that every
plume has been secured at the cost of an
agontZing death to at least one, and often 10
four or five, helpless and inofiensive crefa-
lures. ana then, If women continue to wear
aigrettes, they will prove themselves TO be de-
liberately and cold-bloodedly, not thought
IeSsIy cruel.

with them? Do we want man who will

local, foreign or other business TO divide
the lime that the city pays for to be
devoted to its service.
DO we want a man to enforce the laws?
Where is there one who will do it with
any moro impartislity than he? Who is
there in all the community who will dare
TO rise up and say that Wilson will not
do it, or that he lacks the back bone to do
it? Is there any man who dares to say
that J. W. Wilson will discriminate be-
tween men in the enforcement of the
ordinances, and give license to the rich
