POLITICAL CHIT.CHAT.

Richard H. Williams. the Republican
candidate for select council In the Fifth
ward. has been endorsed by the Demo-
Gratis and will be reelected to the posi-
tion he has filled with SO much ability
for several years past.
Charles T. Chlttenden will be his own
successor as select councilman of the
Ninth ward. He was nominated by the
Republicans. and, of course, the Demo.
Gratis did not make any nomination
against him. His popularity and the
large Republican majority in the ward
forebade such action.
Finley Ross. the present select council
man OF the First ward, has no opposition
and will be returned to his old seat in
the select by the unanimous consent of
the voters of that ward. Mr.. Ross has
made conservative and judicious city
father and the compliment of a unani-
nous reelection which he will receive on
Feb IS proves that his constituents ap-
preciate his valuable services not only for
them but for the city at large.
The Thirteenth ward has the distinction
Of being the only ward In the city that
has a Prohibition ticket in the field. The
candidate of that party for select council

fight. Colonel Sanderson will unquestion-
ably be reelected.
Edward +. Wenzel will be returned
without opposition from the Tenth ward

Mr.. Wenzel is Republican, hut his
services during the term he has been in
the common council have been so eminent

bors that they declined to nominate any
one to oppose him this year. In conse-
quence he has plain sailing and will go

good work for the voters of that ward In
Charles +. waaner and Mr.. Wenzel the
people of the Tenth ward have council
men to whom they can point with pride.
This Is the uuietest municipal election of
years In the Seventh ward. That munich
pal division is usually the scene Of all
kinds of turmoil and some of the liveliest
ward fights In the history of the city have

THE OLD AND THE NEW.

The first city officers elected under the
new charter have retired, and the Sec
ond chosen under that instrument havs
taken office We have had occasion to
criticise the outgoing Mayor at times,
and have not believed that he was for
tunate in all of his appointments; some
of his appointees, indeed, we have held
to have been positively incompetent
But we are prepared to credit Mayor
steinman with high public spirit and
with sincerity. That he has had the
best interests of the city at heart, and
has, on the whole during his several
terms in Office effected reforms and pro-
NOTED great progress in the city, will
ageous and attached to the city that
has honored him, he can leave the Of
fee with the reflection that his record
as a whole rebounds to his credit.
The new Mayor, Mr.. Hubbard, was
not supported in his candidacy by the
Record Union" but this paper well
comes him to the Office with the hope
and expectation that he will fill it with
dignity, administer it with wisdom and
dieharge his duties with diligence. He
is an experienced business man, a long
time resident of the city and has all his
interests here In all that is wise and
progressive that he advises and con-
serves the sRecord-Union' will give
him support and commendation. 1t is
for Sacramento and her best interests
above persons or parties, and if Mayor
Hubbard is moved by a similar spirit,
as we believe he is, he will have a sue
cessful administration. and Sacramento
will be the gamer by reason of his being
chosen to the office.
The new Board of Trustees have now
the opportunity to prove that the trusts
reposed in them are given solely for the
greatest good of all the people. They
will have opportunity to demonstrate
how far, in administering the affairs of
a city, they can rise superior to parti-
pect from them putting of small
things to the rear, and the giving of
prominence to the material and impor-
tant affairs Of the city. They take
charge at time when city needs are
very great, when questions of drainage,
9, water system, sewage disposal, public
sanitation and decrease of taxation are
demanding profound attention and wise
legislation. If they achieve success in
the next two years along any one of
these lines they will have earned the
thanks of the people.

gether, more firmly attached to the in
stitutions of their land when they are
the ereitors of their Nation.
AS a business proposition, therefore,
and because it conserves patriotic spirit,
this Government loan now put upon the
market should be taken by the people
eagerly, and it will be. 1t will be OBJ
served by the terms of the treasury cir
cular that these new bonds may be
taken as coupon bonds or as registered
bonds. The coupon bond is good in the
hands of the possessor, and is loss
If lost or destroyed; the registered bond,
however, runs to the purchaser or his
assignee Con the reverse of the docu-
menD. and if lost or destroyed the in
vestment is not affected but the interest
is drawn as If the bond were still in the
possession Of the investor.
The record-union., 1896-01-07
THE POPULAR LOAN.

The Treasury Department circular
announcing new loan, and which has
been looked for some days, has been is
sued. 1t does not recite specifically
whether the loan is to protect the re-
serve or meet the demands of current
expenses of the Government, and so far
as that is concerned it is immaterial
The one fact with which the people have
to deal is this, that the Government, in
whose credit they have implicit conf
dence, offers a loan that is at once a
means of meeting the needs of the Gov
ernment pending the adjustment of the
revenue system, and that offers the
very best opportunity for the invest
ment of the savings of the people,
The bonds are to be thirty-year per
cent coin issues, in the minimunl
amount of $50 each, and the multiples
Of fifty, as the purchaser may desire
The interest is payable quarterly.
This, therefore, amounts to compound
ing so far as the purchaser is con-
cerned. The bonds being exempt from
taxation, and taxation representing in
Sacramento, for instance, 8 per cent,
the net interest gain to the investor in
the loan is per cent, for he can take
his interest quarterly and reinvest, thus
compounding. and hence the transac-
tion is really the equivalent OF Z per
cent. per annum investment.
This is the best loan for the savings of
poor people ever offered. it will give en-
ployment to the millions lying idle in
savings deposits, and should meet with
such popular response as will testify to
the confidence of the people in the Gov
ernment, their appreciation of the wis
dom of the issue, and their sense of the
sound policy of people taking the loans
of their Government, and not leaving
them to foreign investors and syndi-

THE scHooL-BooK REPORT.

The Secretary of State, who has ex-
ported the finances and scheme of the
State textbook system, has filed his
report. 1t is a very elaborate affair,
and is, in our estimation, a complete
vindication of the State school book
system upon the financial side of it,
and that is all with which the people are
just now concerned.
The experts report shows that no
money has been diverted from the book
fund to the State Printing Office fund
or vice versa 1t shows that the States
theory of distributing the cost of pre-
pairing and issuing the books over a Sc
ries of years. so as to make the income
from the books cover the entire outgo
in their interest, is a sound theory.
That it has not to this date worked
out in practice exactly as estimated is
not due TO fault in the system, but to
the fact that cities and counties which
should have obeyed the law for a long
time flagrantly violated and defed it.
and refused to adopt the books. They
have, however, finally done so, but the
time they stood out interrupted the
working process in the matter Of the
estimate of consumption of books. upon
which the cost of the same was based,
and the period over which such cost
was distributed.
The Secretary says that when the
number of books sold reaches the esti-
mates made by the Board of Educa-
ton. without considering the eight
years period over which the cost was
to be distributed, the gains will have
reimbursed the State. OF course. if
there is during the time yet to run
revisions and additions to the series
and legislation ordering changes, this
process viii be interrupted. But hon.
