THE NEXT CONVENTION.

In commenting upon the discussion con-
corning the place of holding the next Re
publican National Convention, the Wash
ington Star says that if it were not for the
lack of telegraph facilities and cost of 60
ing so far to the convention it might be
that San Francisco would be selected.
Here is case where San Francisco might
Justly excIaim with Shakespeare "If me no
IFS" There is truly no occasion for ifs in
this matter. Why say "if it were not for
the lack of telegraph facilities" when every
well-informed man knows there is no such
lack? Did not the Examiner once duplicate
in Washington every word of the paper
issued in San Francisco on the same morn
ing that it appeared here? Did not this is
sue contain ten times as many words as
would be necessary concerning any con-
vention? Was not the Washington edi-
ton printed on time for the breakfast
table? With such evidence of the tele-
graph facilities of San Francisco on record,
why should there be at this time any ifs
about the matter?
The eff" in regard to the cost of attend
ing the convention is even less justifiable
than that concerning the telegraph facili-
ties. 1t will cost Eastern men no more to
come to California than it will cost Califor-
mans to go East. The fact that those re-
quired to come here will exceed in number
those who might be required to go there,
does not affect the issue, for the cost is to be
computed for individuals and not for the
whole convention. In addition to this it
should be remembered that the trip across
the continent is one that every statesman
aud aspiring statesman ought to take. Cal
ifornians who are to participate in National
legislation must of course go East. Is it
not fair therefore, to require that Eastern
men who propose to legislate for the Nation
should occasionally came West2
The Star admits "the newspaper men
would vote heartily for San Francisco and
would enjoy trip out there beyond all
question" Why then should it doubt that
all the delegates to the convention would
be of the same mind2 There is no good
reason against holding the convention
here and thousand for it. San Francisco
is in fact the ideal place for such gather
ing, and when the arguments in its favor
are fully presented, we believe the National
Committee will admit their force and the
next convention will be held here.

an excursion be sent thither, and no doubt
arrangements will be made to that end.
The small charge to be made for tickets
for these excursions is the least OF the in

disclose variety of scenery and indus
tries that will be astonishing to stranger.
The trip through the San Joaquin Valley
will show the great Sierras with their
everlasting crowns of snow on the east,
the dark slopes of the Coast Range on the
west, and vast level plains covered with
grain fields, vineyards and orchards. In
the southern part of the State besides the
vineyards and the orchards of oranges,
lemons and deciduous fruits, will be seen
beautiful cities luxuriously empowered in
semi-tropic yerdure. At Penryn and
Auburn the stranger finds himself in the
heart of the gold country; at Napa, Santa

AFTER THE VETO.

The message which Mayor Sutro sub
mitted to the Board of Supervisors giving
his reasons for not signing the bituminous
rock ordinance was very brief, but its con-
ciseness fell in no way short of making
clesr the good and sufficient reasons on
which his action was based. These rea-
sons were four. The ordinance practically
excluded the shipment of bituminous rock
by vessels. 1t thereby excluded mines at
distance from competing in furnishing
the rock. 1t substantially created q
monopoly in favor of Santa Cruz mines,
and also monopoly in transportation in
favor of the Southern Pacific of Kentucky
and finally by reason of certain specifica-
tons regarding the nature of the bitumin-
Gus rock required, it threatened to exclude
the use of bitumen for street paving alto
gether.
With this terse veto it is to be hoped the
attempted job will be ended, and that
even those men who favored the ordinance
will now abandon it. Certainly there can
be no hope of passing it over the veto, for
the Mayor is sustained in the board by
four incorruptible guardians OF the public
interest and it is not likely that all of the
affiliated eight" will remain solid for the
job after it has been SO clearly exposed and
so strongly condemned.
1t is probable that some of the Super
visors who voted for the ordinance in the
first place did so through an honest mis-
take of judgment. Such men should not
lose this opportunity to separate them
selves from evil company and come over
on the right side. There is much work in
the way of municipal improvement to be
done in this City. and every Supervisor
who makes conscientious endesvor to
carry out such work by clean, honest,
economical methods will gain the esteem
of his fellow-citizens and popular COM
mendation that will be of great value to
him in all the walks of life. This, there
fore, is the time for honest men to stand up
and get into line. Let this job be buried
where it has fallen, and no more of the
kind be undertaken.

THE PROPOSITION AMENDED.
Visalia Times.

We publish an editorial to-day from the San
Francisco CALL which sets forth in convinc-
ing way the reasons why the competing rail-
road should be built through this county and
the city of Visalla. The CALL is making an
effort to be State newspaper, and if it has
men on its staff as well acquainted with every
county as the writer of the editorial which we
reproduce is with Tulare County it will
soon distance its competitors. All the CALL
says about Tulare County is true, and resi-
dent could not have stated the situation with
more force and clearness. 1t seems that the
proposition of our Board of Trade is satisfac-
tory to the directors of the San Francisco and
San joaquin Valley Railroad with the excep-
ton that the pledge to ship freight over the
new road is not signed.
The committee which leaves Visalia tonight
for San Francisco will take with them the writ
ten pledges of the merchants of this city to
patronize the road when it is built. There was
no objection on the part of the business men
to signing the pledge as the new road will
have virtually no competition when it reaches
Visalia. The Southern Pacific has no road lead
ing to this city, and the easiest and most direct
way to get freight will be over the new road.
The first proposition was thought to be sufi-
cient for the reason that most of the business
men subscribed for stock in the road and 1t
was the opinion that nothing more could be
asked. However, we are willing to amend the
proposition in any reasonable way, and We will

UNITED CALIFORNIA.

The circular issued by the Half-million
Club, in reference to the proposed excur-
sion through the State, is pretaced by the
words "New, United, Progressive Cali
fornia." There is a whole sermon in these
few words and their significance should
not be lost upon any citizen to whom the
circular comes.
If any emphasis is to be laid upon one
of these words more than another the
word "united" should receive it. In this
single word is summed up all that is
brightest in the present and all that is
most hopeful in the future. united
California must mean new California, Tor
it implies the termination of all the local
jealousies and sectional preiudices that
have been such disturbing element IN the
past; and it means also a progressive Cali
fornia, for we can have nothing but prog
ress and prosperity when all sections of
the State work together for the general
good.
1t was a happy thought of the Half
million Club to begin its circular with
words so impressive and suggestive. They
will bring to every mind thousand ideas
of cooperation and profound sentiment
of State patriotism. There are few Cali
fornians at this time who are not animated
with a genuine State pride and keen
desire to assist in the advancement of the
commonwealth. In giving assistance to
the fiestas in the south, the Half-million
Club is setting an example which we may
be sure the south will reciprocate when
ever San Francisco undertakes anything
that will rebound to the glory of the whole
State.
Every citizen can rightly rejoice in the
new aspect of affairs. There is but one
California and her people at last have
begun to realize the true greatness of her
indivisable unity. From this time for
ward but one purpose will animate all
Californians and that will be to bring
about the speedy realization of all that is
meant by "New, United and Progressive
California"

THE RAILROAD BEGUN.

The actual physical work which is to
end in realizing the hopes of California for
competition in rail transportation has been
begun at Stockton, where the engineers
have started with the setting of stakes.
Although it will require a few days in
which to run the lines through the city,
the work is not experimental or for 'boom"
purposes, as railroad surveying so often
is. 1t is the actual necessary work pre-
liminary to construction, and hence it con-
stitutes the beginning of construction.
1t was the promptness of Stockton in
agreeing to the terms of the railroad
directors that made this beginning posi-
BILE. 1t is true that the energetic men of
the city, in their canvass of the local re-
sources, have discovered a number of
wealthy men whose fortunes would be
greatly increased by the new road, yet who
refuse to subscribe anything to aid it. But
the broad people who are forwarding the
enterprise are not whit discouraged by
that. They know that in every community
must exist men without pride, patriotism
or conscience-leeches on the enterprise of
the thrifty, and as lacking in industry as
in manliness. The worthy men of that
city have the consolation of rejecting that
the time has passed when these drones
| are immune from the punishment which
they deserve. There are a great many
ways in which greed can be punished, and
the people of Stockton know what they are
and how to employ them.
| Preceding the engineers who are running
| the lines will be agents or directors of the
company dealing with the property owners
for right of way. Already some hand
some offers have been made, and it all
seems clear sailing. 1t is time when
manhood and independence prove infec-
tious. One strong mans example will be
sufficient to direct the conduct of many
weak ones who may be wavering between
greed and enterprise. The proposition that
every landowner viii make handsom e
profit out of the gift of a right of way
through his land is so clear that the one
who holds out for price will be regarded
as inviting such an opinion at the hands
of his neighbors as few men have the cour-
age to invite.
But it should not be forgotten for sin
gle moment that pledge to patronize the
new road is one of the elements most es-
sential to the success of the enterprise
Such pledge means far more than prom
Use to support the road; above and be-
yond that meaning is the one which pro-
claims a desire to see California prosper,
and hence the pledge to support the road
is pledge of patriotism and proclama-
ton of good citizenship. The CALLS
pledge is accessible to all on the line of
| the road. Those who have their own
reasons for not wishing their names to be
published will be protected, but it is adj
visable that they sign, nevertheless.
