JUDGE BUDD of Stockton has very
wisely decided that Independent candi-
dates cannot, on the general election
ballots, attach the name of political
class to their name-lines if there is a
regular party of that class having nomi-
nations filed. A party sent in his name
to the Clerk as an Independent Democrat.
The Democratic party has regular nomi-
nees on the ballot, therefore no one can
use the name Democrat" except through
the party channel. That is sense. Ii
one runs as an independent candidate he
should stand on that, and not seek to
bolster himself with designation in

A leading gas company in San Francisco

consumers for domestic purposes. When
asked why the company had struck off IL
very considerable sum of the charge hereto

replied that the material the company uses to
make gas has declined in cost and hence the
company is able to give the consumers the
benefit OF the decline. This is notable in

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Emperor William writes music and poetry
and drinks beer. He rides finely, and is an
expert in art. He makes good speech, and
is a notably good judge OF athletics But the
news is that he has now undertaken to
fathom the mysteries of American mixed
drinks. Let William beware; if he persists
in his sampling he will be knocked out. Let
him stick 10 beer and red wine il he Will, and
be safe but the imperial stomach and genius
are not equal TO American mixed drinks
The Japanese are now charged with q butch
ery more terrible than that at Port Arthur
II is said to have signalized the last battle OF
the war, and that though fourteen hundred
Chinese were killed, not one wounded pris-
oner was taken; that the victorious troops
entered the town that was beseiged and put
all who resisted TO the bayonet. and scalped
and beheaded right and left. On the benalf of
the Japs ii is replied thai the Chinese method
OF fignting and OF receiving vietors is such
that Il is impossible TO avoid such scenes. 1t

osls throughout the war, and have not ac-
corded The rights of civilized Warfare 10 any
assureaiy they have not done so 10 their own.

as if it had been written upon the sky
that the San Joaquin Valley road did not
furnish that guarantee of the payment of
interest and the ultimate return OF its
duce the owners of idle capital to invest
their money in it, but that it needed the
reinforcement of a small popular SUBJ
scription in amounts which the subscrib-
ers could afford to lose. 1t took the
whole enterprise from its pedestal of
a broad commercial undertaking 10
the lower position of one whose
success depended upon popular en-
thusiasm-not cold financial reason. If
the San Joaquin Valley Railroad is to be
built upon natural line of commerce,
if there is a profitable business awaiting
its construction, the fact can be clearly
demonstrated. Excluding the county of
San joaquin, which has abundant rail
controlling factor in rates of transpor-
tation. and the population of the entire
San Joaquin Valley is not in excess of
Is, ,000 people. Not half of these can be
made tributary to line of railroad. 1t
is too often forgotten that there are as
many people in the city of Los Angeles,
and even more in the cities of Oakland
and Alameda, than in the San Joaquin
Valley.
But the valley has vast capacities for
growth, and railroads are sometimes
built in advance of the demand. When
this is the case, however, the stock hold
ers must lose money until the country
grows up to point of affording profit
able traffic to the line of railroad con-
structed primarily in the interest of the
territory, but eventually in the interest of
the people who are to occupy that terri
tory.
The Examiner invited the criticism of
pirate, pertinent and timely. 1t was the
most natural view to be taken of the
subject. Now after having attached to
the San Joaquin Valley enterprise most
unfortunate character. more fatal to its
success than any disparagement the E.C-
dRiner editors could have formulated, it
seeks to excuse it's blunder by declaring
that G. p. Huntington, President of the
Southern Pacific Company, is The author
of the editorial in the Wau Street
Journal We are disposed to think
that our contemporary itself knows
this to be as untrue as 1t Is
improbable. The projectors of the enter
prise have declared that it was their in
tention to float the bonds of the San Joa-
quin on the money markets Of the world.
Mr.. Robert Watt, leading spirit in the
undertaking, is said to have made this
statement. and what Mr.. Watt says will
be accepted as true of all men. These
level-headed, sober minded, business
men and capitalists must have been
grievously embarrassed by the action Of
our esteemed contemporary, and yet they
were not in position to object. They
could not place themselves in the attitude
of refusing assistance from any quarter.
They certainly have had observation
enough of the money markets of the
world to know the extent to which the
journalistic effort was declaring to the
world that from a purely financial stand
point, there was no reason for the con-
struotion of the San Joaquin Valley road.

The farmers, the men vitality interested
in seeing whatever latent virtue there
may be in the Act to rehabilitate hy-
draulic mining put to the lawful test,
have been suffering and patient, but
il would not be surprising if they were
on the point of abandoning patience as a
virtue. They plainly see that the So
called rehabilitation of hydraulic mining
is the recurrence of the old evil with only
a temporary stay of the debris behind
dams that are either Intellectual at the
start or that will be abandoned to floods
and freshets in the course of a year or
two. Conservative men that they are,
they confine themselves, for the present,
to mild protests to the United States
Debris Commission against the prosecu-
ton of hydraulic mining behind
ephemeral brush and other Intellectual
dams, preferring not to antagonize that
body by court proceedings. But if the
farmers do move again III body, as they
did in the early 'S0's, hydraulic mining

TWO of the many points brought out in
