IMPERIALISM.

Cover nor Altgeld, in his late mes
sage, makes this statement:
If the president can, st his pleasure, in
the first instance, send troops into any city,
town or hamlet under pretense Of enforc-
ing some law, his Judgment being the sole
criterion, there can be no difference what
ever in this respect between the powers Of
the president and those of Emperor Will
liam or the Czsr of Russia.
The Kansas City Times, replying
to and deprecating thus statement,
says:
The pr esident has not sttemptedlto exer-
cise any authority not vested in him by
law, and the present executive is not
likely to.
Many of the very best legal su-
thorities in the country differ from
the Times upon this proposition; but
30 far as the consequences are con-
cerned, we do not see that this is a
question worth disputing about. So
long as the authority to send troops
into any part of the country under
the pretense of enforcing some law,
is exercised, we do not see that it is
as mnch q question whether that au-

thority is exercised in accordance
with law or in defiance of law, as it
is what the consequences will be to
the liberties of the American people.
The main question is, are we ready
for the recognition of an imperial
government? and not whether such
government is established by law or
in defiance of law. The liberties of
the colonists were invaded by law
under George III, and our fathers
took up arms to free themselves from
such legal invasion. What are we
that laws subverslvs of human lib
erty should be any more sacred in
our sight than they were IN theirs?

How to Send Money.

The new postal money order is an an
noysnce because its inconVenisnt form
subjects postmRsters to mistakes, and
it is not as safe as the old. Persons
sending money should not use it when
they cen get an express money order or
bank draft for the same money. II the
head Of the postofiCe department is de-
tsrmined to destroy the money order
system by such foolish charges as this

as possible. Then We may expect q
change for the better.
Where the amount TO be sent Is no
larger than 81, dollar bill in a letter
carefully directed, is usually safe.

THE PROGRESS OF CONSOLIDATION.

No observer of current events has
failed to note the general tendency
to consolidation and Capitalization in
all departments of business for many
years past. In pursuance of what
seems to be the spirit of the age,
possibly the latest effort in this di-
rection relates to the street railways
of American cities. This, like
many other large enterprises, has
been undertaken and Is being pur-
sued by agents representing British
capital.
However reluctant the masses of
the American people may be, in their
conceited ignorance of what is going
on around them, to admit the fact,
there is probably no country on earth
to-day that is so exposed to the Gu
pidity of Conscienceless spectators
of every conceivable character who
are seeking wealth by the multipli-
cation of methods of extortion, as our
own Gland of the free and the home
of the brave" It is not our purpose
now to write an extended review Of
the various business enterprises that
have already been concentrated in
few hands, nor to show how competi-
tion has gradually been eliminated
and practical monopolies established.
The fact that these monopclies are
being established largely by foreign
capital should be a source of alarm
to every patriotic American citizen.
At the rate at which this process Of
concentration and Capitalization ID

GOVERNOR LEWELLING'S RETIRING
MESSAGE.

hQN p6MAOCEhtlO pEoSp uPOu GEOVSEA OE
LeWelling's retiring message are as
various as the shades Of partisan big
otry could make them. The Kansas
City Times thinks that on the whole
it is a sensible, practical message.
The Emporis Republican speaks fs-
vorably of some Of its statements of
fact, but deplores it's soclslistic ten
denotes and wakes warm over the
manner in which it scores repub-
lican rasOality. A resume of press
comment might be interesting from
it's novelty if we had space for it, but
1t would possess no value as repre-
senting the sentiment of the general
public. The daily press represents
nothing but the corporate and cap
italistic interests of the country and
could not therefore be expected to
approve anything that proposes to
give the masses Of the people show
for their lives.
The Capital was too much exasper-
ated to venture more than a para
graph of comment on the day of che
appearance of the message but prom
ised a thorough analysis Of it the day
following. The idea of the Capital
making an editorial analysis of any
thing is really funny. The promised
analysis Of the message is a mere po-
litical screed devoid of either good
sense or common honesty. 1t passes
over all the statements Of fact and all
the recommendations made are dis
posed of under one loud sweeping
wall of socialism" It touches lightly
upon the Topeka club episode as a
subject that will not bear too
much ventilation. It sustsins the
usurpstions Of courts, as, Of course,
it must do, being a mere tool of the
corporations and monopolists which
the courts are now constituted TO
serve, and it bresthes one long wall
of despair over the general depraVity
of POpulism. In reality it matters
very little to anybody what the Cspi.
tai thinks of the message or of any
filing else. Its editorial opinions are
too puerile to merit the serious con-
siderstion of thinking people without
respect to party.
Having published the message in
full, very little comment upon it is
required Of us. 1t speaks for itself.
It is sufficient to say that 1t expresses
the most advanced ideas upon the
subjects to which 1t relstes-ideRs
that are rapidly taking possession OF
the minds of the masses of the peo-
pie. 1t is not to be expected that
minds which are either fOssilized
or merely exist to reflect monopolistic
thought, will comprehend or approve
such ideas. 1t is better that they
should not. Their opposition is worth
more than their approval. In the
meantime such men as Ex-Governor

HOW A CAMPAIGN LIE WAS NAILED.
Ridiculous and False Statements Sent
Out From Here.
One Vicious Falsehood Stamped to
Death by the Republican
County Committee.

Some of the stuff that San Francisco
papers receive from this city by special
correspondence is silly, while some is
simply vicious in its disregard of truth.
Recently one OF the metropolitan pa
pers published the statement, alleged to
have been written from here. that all the
mem bers Of the Republican County Cen
tral Committee, with one exception, were
opposed TO the election OF their party 8
candidate for Mayor, j. w. Wilson.
This is but one of the many campaign
lies that have boon sent from here to the
San Francisco press, out it is one OF the
meanest Of them all.
Last night the Republican Committee
held special meeting and, by resolution
unanimously adopted, placed the stamp
of falsehood upon the statement. There
was a large attendance of committeeman,
and they one and all denounced the
statement as false from first to last. The
resolutions adopted are as follows:
"Whereas, An article appeared in San
Francisco daily newspaper short time
since, alleging that the Repu blIcan County
Central Committee of Sacramento County,
with but a single exception, were OPP
posed to the election OF j. w. Wilson,
nominee OF the Republican party Tor the
office OF Mayor OF the city of sacramento,
and, whereas, said allegation was and is
false,
Now, therefore. we, the Republican
County Central Committee of Sac
ramento County, assem- bled, do here
by announce TO the voters OF Sacra-
meuto City that we unanimously indorse
The Repu blican municipal ticket selected

OF Sacramento City from the top To the
bottom thereof; and, whereas, an especial
fight is being made against j. W. Wilson,
the Republican candidate for Mayor, we
do hereby pledge ourselves TO do every
thing honorable TO secure his election
and that OF tie entire Repu blican ticket.
I'VE do hereby further call upon all
the Republican voters OF Sacramento City
10 be loyal 10 their party. to the end that

THE TELEPHONE WAR HAS OPENED.
Two Suits Begun Against the Capital
Company.
It Is Claimed That tho New Local
Company's Instruments Are
heterogeneous.

About the time the Capital Telephone
gin operations circulars were sent out
by the old or Sunset Company warn
ing citizens against using the instra-
mentS of the new company under pain
OF being sued for damages. 1t
1t now appears that actions against the
new company have really been filed, ac
cording to the following published in
yesterdays San Francisco Bulletin:
THE Capital Telephone Company of
Sacramento and kindred telephone cor
poratiOns which have been organized
throughout the State are threatened
with a discrimination of service. The
patents of the regular telephone COM
pany and of the Western Electric Com
pany cover every imaginable part and
portion of the little instruments that
carry sound long distance, so that it
is almost impossible for new concern
to go into the telephone business with
instruments that are not infringementS
upon some one of the larger companies
patents.
Two suits We're filed yesterday in the
United States Circuit Court of this city
by the Western Electric Company of Chi
cage against the Capital Telephone Com
pany OF sacramento, with which corpora
ton FREDERICK Cox and w. 4. Gerber are
associated as defendants.
The suits may put a stop to the sub
sCriptionS for stock of the Sacramento
company, for the opposition alleges that
it has a clear case and that the inStru-
ments used by the former are all infringe
mentS on the patents held by the latter.
''Messrs. Cox and Gerber, it is alleged,
have organized other telephone compa-
MES throughout the State. Several other
minor concerns are said to be organizing
and the Western Electric Company states
that it is going to prove beyond doubt
that such corporations cannot legally
exist.
one of the suits filed yesterday is for
arrangements of patents on switchboard
apparatus and the other on the tele-
phones. This apparently brings into con-
fiict with the original patentees the en-
tire system of the newly established tele-
phone company. If the patents of the
Western Electric Company are sustained
the new concern will have to search for
Instruments which do not infringe on eX-
listing patents and this will undoubtedly
put q stay to the operation of all
lines owned and controlled by the new
phone company.
1T is said that great deal of capital
has been subscribed by business men of
Sacramento to the stock of the new com
pany. At least 100000 was given to the
promoters of the enterprise before it was
suspected that the question of patent
rights would be raised. What effect the
suits will have on the new system is hard
