DAGGETT AND MAGUIRE.

Two eminent members of the California
Democracy are engaged in bitter contro-
versy, which is both serious and lament
able. Congressman Mcguire has preferred
charges with the Treasury Department at
Washington against John Daggett, Super
intendent of the San Francisco Mint, al
leging two wrongs: First, that Mr.. Dag
gett has grossly neglected his duty; and,
second, that he organized mining COM
pany which has no standing, and whose
shareholders are composed largely of the
employees of the Mint.
Mr.. Daggett declares that these charges
are "lies," and that "they are absolutely
false in every particular and detail" He
not only courts but demands a rigorous
investigation. and he wants it to be pub
lie. He asserts that "any one with half an
eye must see that an obvious animus turks
in every line" of Mr.. Maguire's charges,
and explains that ''it is case of patronage
instead of principle" Mr.. Mcguire denies
this, alleging that he was not interested in
the patronage of the Mint, and that both
he and Senator White opposed Mr.. Dag
gett's appointment, and that his conduct
has not been better than they expected.
Up to this point (the Treasury Depart
ment not having yet made an investiga-
ton of the charges) the case rests upon the
comparative personal merits of the gentle
men themselves. Mr.. Mcguire makes the
dignifed explanation that he cares moth
ing for Mr.. Daggett one way or the other,
that in laying his charges with the Gov
eminent he was doing his duty as a pub
lie officer and that there he will let the
matter rest, having shifted his RESPONSE
bility on the Government. The charges
are easily susceptible of proof if they are
true and of disproof if they are untrue,
and as Mr.. Mcguire is an able lawyer and
knows the value of evidence, the duties of
the Superintendent and the serious conse-
quences of the investigation both to him
self and to Mr.. Daggett, the present pre-
sumption is that, even should his past
history warrant the belief, it is not likely
that he is moved by passion or desire for
revenge.
Assuming for the present that he is &C
tuated by the highest motives, his conduct
is salient departure from the established
methods of Democratic politics in Califor-
MIA. At the same time, while he is exceed
ingly strong in the admiration of friends,
Mr. Daggett is not less so, and hence this
struggle must make serious breach in the
ranks of the party. 1t will be curious to
observe whether in the pending investiga-
ton the party will prove itself able to be
governed solely by sense of public right
and decency or whether the factions to
which this struggle will give rise will be
moved by considerations of expediency or
personal regard.
The San Francisco call., 1895-10-14
THE MINERS CONVENTION.

The convention of California miners,
which opens in this City to-day under the
auspices of the California State Miners AS
sociation, will be the most important ever
held in this State, and upon the determi-
nation of the delegates will depend some
concerns vital to the people. The two
great matters are hydraulic mining and
! the relation of the Southern Pacific Com
pany to the mineral lands which it claims
under its Governments grant. In addition
to these, considering the remarkable re-
awakening of activity in the mining in
dustry, will be the general proposition of
furthering and strengthening this move
ment.
With regard to the first proposition, it is
urgent that the antagonism existing be-
tween the farming and the hydraulic min
ing interests be broken down instead OF
increased. While it is deplorable that
hydraulic mining was necessarily stopped
by reason of the damage 1t was doing to
the rivers and lands of the valley region,
it is impossible to believe that the inven-
tive genius of the age is inadequate to de-
wise such a scheme as will permit the re-
habilitation of this industry without work
ing the injury which caused its cessation.
1t will be for the miners to solve the prob
lem And miners of all kinds are inter-
ested in the solution.
The question of railroad claims to min
eral lands will require exceptional care and
intelligence IN the handling. Rumors
were started some time ago to the effect
that the railroad company was interesting
| itself in the selection of delegates to this
convention. There has been little talk of
that kind lately, but this will make popu-
lar espionage of the delegates conduct
none the less close. 1t will not be difficult
to Judge any delegates fealty by his
speeches or vote. The interest involved is
one that concerns every resident of the
State, whether he is a miner or not.
There need be no fear that the miners will
fail to appreciate their grave responsibility
in the premises.
The delegates are visiting the City at
the pleasantest time of the year. They
| will find many things to entertain and in
struct them. 1t is hoped that they will
enjoy themselves after that hearty fashion
for which men of that vocation are
famous. They will find some novel condi-
tions. 1t will perhaps surprise them to
discover that the community is rousing
itself from long and dreamless slumber,
and that its responsible men and women
are learning to appreciate the bounties
with which nature has blessed their en-
vironment. We regret that the splendid
new CALL building is not ready for their
inspection, but they can see where it will
be when they convene next year. They
will find the leading spirits of the City
earnestly at work for the good of the
State, and the merchants eager to do
whatever may lie in their power for the
advancement OF the mining interest. 1t
will be grand opportunity for the miners
to cultivate these men and establish a
strong sympathy and cooperation with
them.
