THE PASSING OF DE YOUNG.

The people Of CALIFORNIA; are to be
congratulated on the election OF George
G. Perkins to the United States senate
and with scarcely less pride may they
congratulate themselves on the rejection
of M. H. De Young, not because Mr..
De Young was utterly obnoxious to the
people, but because Mr.. Perkins is
better representative and one in whom
the people have more confidence than
they have ever expressed for Mr.. De
Young.
The latter went to Sacramento attends
ed by his satellites, beating tomtoms
and clamoring like an army with ban
ners. His newspaper and that portion
of the press edited at Fourth and Town
send streets loudly proclaimed the VIC
torious assault that was about to be
ordered by the director general upon the
legislature. His own newspaper boldly
boasted that he had the support moral
and otherwise. OF Colonel Dan Burns
and other suspicious political influences.
In response to the pulling of the strings
at the railroad headquarters tho puppet
press loudly proclaimed "ths weakness
OF Perkins," and laid as much stress as
they could master upon his many mis-
takes" in the management OF his fight.
1t was campaign OF dstraction and as
dirty as the railroad corporation and
MIR. De Young's advisers dared to make
it.
But Notwithstanding every effort; not
withdrawing the clamor OF the camp fol-
lowers and the shouting OF the captsins;
Notwithstanding the duplicity OF Dan
Burns and the stupidity Of Frank Stone;
notwithstanding the power and the I'M
scrupulous methods OF the Southern
Pacific, when the votes were counted
the forces the of director-general were
routed horse, foot and dragoons-and OF
possible one hundred and twenty
votes the custodian OF the midwinter
fair funds only received sixteen How
wers the mighty falen-and with what
q dull. sickening thud, withal. And
how the people rsjoicsd when the tale
was told
The De Young ambition is laud-
able enough even for Do Young,
but OF all the men who aspire to wear
the toga as representatives Of the great
common wealth of California none may
hope with less probability OF fru!tion
than M. H. Do Young. With all his
reputed milione he may not sit with
the millionaires of the American senate;
even money, were he disposed to use
that sort of influence. will not
buy this honor, for the people have de-
clared that they will submit to any in-
dignity save only this one, and political
death, social obloquy aud ostracism
awaits the men who would assist or
apet the lifting of this Do Young to the
plane he would oecupy-a parvenu
among thorough breds.
But the danger is past-we hope for.

A FORTUNATE MAN.

Governor Budd may not be great
man but he certainly is fortunate one.
His opponent in the campaign is an
able man and possesses many elements
of strength. but he was championed in
the convention and in the canvass by 8
man powerful as a political boss but
weak with the people. The manner of
his nomination handicapped Estee from
the start and all through the canvass.
Burns could not be shaken off; he chung
to his grip. All this was fortunate for
Governor Budd, and it gave him the
election.
As il fortune would not refuse her
smiles, Governor Markham shocked the
sentiment of the good people of the
state, and especially of San Francisco,
by almost his last act. and gave his sue
cessor an opening to begin his ad minis
tretion by an act that would make o
favorable impression.
One thing lie certain, and it ia that the
acquitted himself so promptly and de-
cisively that he won the confidence and
approval of intelligent and honest men
OF all parties. The removals from and
appointments to the police board OF San
Francisco demonstrate that Governor
Budd is not bigoted partisan, but a
man and official who regards the public
welfare as higher than party SUCCESS.
1t is an indication of no mean ability
that he comprehends the trend of pop
ular sentiment, and of An honest pur-
pose that he respects and reflects it.
Circumstances and his own course
give him vantage ground in forcing re-
form and economy. Whatever may have
OF the legislature. they cannot get into
contest with the governor on the subject
OF reform and economy. for it would be
a losing fight, as the people are in a
mood to sustain any official who ia dis
posed to promote their interests regard
less OF his political affiliations. 1t seems
that there is a reform fiesta in progress
in Sacramento, in which executive and
legislators are harmoniously particips
ing.
1t will hardly be claimed that the
governor does not possess ability, for
his course thus far indicates that he is
clear as to the line OF duty, and to do
ixht ia better proof of talent than the
little strategiea which political manipu-
lators practice. Tina policy adopted by
the executive is the wisens and mos,

CREMER SATISFIED.
Thinks His Mission for Arbitration Was
Eminently a Successful One

LONDON, Feb. 10-The Westminster
Gazette publishes an interview with Mr.
William r. Cremer, secretary to the In
ternal Arbitration league and editor of
the society's organ, The Arbitrator who
has lust returned from the United States
where he has been on a mission from the
league seeking the support of public men
in America in behalf of the objects of the
society.
Mr.. Cremer is quoted as saying that he
is more than satisfied with the results of
his mission, adding: "From what passed
in n conversation which 1 had with Presi
dent Cleveland, have every reason to an
ticipate that such q treaty as the one de-
sired will be carried by our American
friends before perhaps, many weeks and
will be submitted to the British govern
ment. All the best men in congress are
on the side of our cause"
In Mr.. Cremer's opinion, the treaty,
when it arrives here will be concluded by
Lord Rosebery without reference to par
lament. But, he adds, if Lord Salisbury
is in power the prospects of it's conclu-
sions are small.
The main object of Mr.. Cremer's mission
to this country was to present President
Cleveland with petition, signed by GER
tain number of influential men abroad
and it was during the presentation of this
petition that the conversation referred to
in the dispatch from London occurred.
