FIFTY YEARS AGO,

The 6ftieth anniversary OF the taking
formal possession of California by the
United States will be celebrated at Mon
terey one week from tomorrow, July 7.
Although the idea of celebrating the an
niversary of the event in way that should
include participation in the festivities by
Californians generally originated in Mon
terey the plan was caught up and ap-
proved by all localities, so it will be a
State rather than local affair. 1t is
doubtful if Commodore Sloat realized.
indeed no man could have realized, what
the hosting of the stars and stripes over
the Custom-house of Monterey at that
time would mean to the United States in
future years. 1t was one of those events
in the history of a nation in which the
hand of Providence can almost be seen.
There seemed to have been combina-
ton of circumstances which turned Cali
fornia over to the keeping of the United
States-a combination so far.reaching in in
huence and of SO much significance that it
is easy to believe that power higher than
man was directing the course of human
events in those days to the end that
broader and better ways might be opened
for the advance of that civilization which
is the pride of the world and the glory of
America.
The history of the leading up to the act
of taking possession of California by hoist
ing the stars and stripes over the Custom
house at Monterey is well known to every
school boy and girl, but there is deeper
meaning to it all than the mere history
facts reveal. Had not the ships of the
United States navy been feeter, better
Differed and the crews more enthusiastic
than those of the English navy the flag
of Great Britain and not the stars and
stripes would have claimed California,
and it is Just possible that instead of being
one of the grandest of the confederation
of States California would be a British
province to-day.
But, however that may be, there is no
doubt at all about what the people should
do on this occasion. Every county and
municipality of California should be repre-
sented at Monterey on July Z, that the
celebration may have the dignity, charac-
ter and Importance of what might Justly
be called the fiftieth anniversary of Cali
fornia's independence; besides, it will be
very proper time for the societies of the
first settlers and Native Sons and Daugh-
tiers to gather their hosts and join in fra

didate was named on the first ballot. So,
after all, there was nothing so wonderful
in Mr.. Mckinley carrying the st. Louis
Convention on the first call of States.
In this connection it might be we'll to
observe that when Fremont was nomi-
mated the voting population of the United
States was, in round numbers, 10000 600.
In 1892 it was IL, 900, 600 ana it is estimated
that there are now over 13, 900 voters.
The voting population between 1856 and
1860 did not increase materially, so it is
safe to say that the voting strength of the
country increased under Republican rule
between 1860 and 1892 fully 100000. Be-
tween the same years the wealth increase
OF the country was from about $l5,000,-
100000 to nearly $4,000, 000,o 600. No other
argument is needed to prove that the
country needs to have the Republican
party in power all the time.

THE VETO POWER.

A man may be the constitutional Presi-
dent of the United States and still be an
autocrat, and he may be the constitutional
President and be patriot. The President
cannot deal directly with the people, but
he does indirectly, through Congress, for
its members are the direct agents of the
people. The President has the legal but
not the moral right to refuse to obey the
will of the people by using the veto power,
as Cleveland has done sew eral times. 1t is
a power that seems to be necessary to
have lodged in the President, but it was
originally conferred for prudential pur-
poses, and never to be used as means of
coercion or revenge. The presump tion is
that if Congress enacts law it is enacted
because the people want just such a law,
and when the President refuses to let it
become an operative law he assumes that
he is wiser than the people.
In selecting a man for President it is
we'll enough for the people to consider the
veto-power question. The best way to do
that intelligently is to study the candi-
dates public and, as far as may be, his
private record. The Democrats have not
yet named their candidate, but we may be
sure ii the Cleveland wing wins the candi-
date would, if elected. follow in the foot
steps of Cleveland in all official acts. If
Bland or Boies should be nominated the
country would have to run the risk of
future developments, but with Mckinley
there is no room for doubt. He is patriot
by nature, and he cheerfully recognizes
the people as the sovereigns and that their
Will is law. We know in advance, there
fore, that the will of the people would not
be ignored by employing the veto power if
he were President

FIRsT-BALLoT CANDIDATES.

Democratic newspapers are trying to
make 1t appear that Mr.. McKinley's NOM
ination on the first ballot is evidence SUI
fcient that there was q controlling inner
wheel in the machinery of the Republican
party at st. Louis, otherwise it would
have taken a score or more ballots to
nominate. The fact is, it is very COM
mon thing for Republican National Con-
ventions to nominate on the first ballot.
The first convention, held In Philadelphia
in 1856, nominated Fremont on the first
ballot. In 1864 Lincoln was nominated on
the first ballot. Grant was nominated on
the first ballot IN 1868 and again in 1872
In 1892 Harrison was nominated on the
first ballot just as Mckinley was nomi-
mated on the first ballot in 1896. Eleven
National Republican Conventions have
been held and at six of them the can

F0RLORN DEMOCRATS.

In its long, tempestuous and more or
less disgraceful career, the Democratic
party has always managed to keep and
maintain some sort of resting place to
which it could retire during periods when
it was under the condemnation of the
people. Even during the long years be-
tween 1860 and 1892 it had its own cabin,
albeit it was located in the swamp OF
public opinion. where the party fed upon
such crumbs of comfort as it could gather
from recollections of days when it was in
better circumstances, but never before did
any one consider the party so homeless
and forsaken that it would have to submit
to the humiliation of receiving an invita-
ton from a Taubeneck to accept the
doubtful Inequalities of PopuIist party.
No doubt the Democracy is hungry
enough, but bad and friendless as 1t is
there is no charity in offering the thin
and tasteless consomme of Populism.
Dives did not treat Lazarus that mean.
But the Tellerites offend quite as deeply
as do the Populists when they invite the
Democracy to surrender every principle it
ever had and follow their banner. Were
the Democracy to do that or accept Taube-
neck's offer it would be nothing more
than an exchange of swamps. 1t would
still be poor and distressed, besides it
would have the added disgrace of having
sold its birthright. The Democratic party
has done some very idiotic things in it's
day. but it has never let go its hold upon
certain alleged political principles, and
what is more, it could not without admit
ting that it never should have come into
existence, which. is true, by the way,
whether it admits it or not.
Senator PETER is the manifest man of
them all. He is a middle-of- the-road Pop
ulist, and wants no going to the right or
to the left. He says it was Taubeneck' i'm
pudence or impertinence, and not the
wish of the party that overtures of any
kind be made to silver Democrats or Tel
lerites. His position is that while re-
cruits from all parties are wanted they
are not wanted unless they renounce with
out persuasion all allegiance to their old
faith and come as obedient disciples OF
great cause. And PETER is right. for
what would it avail himself and the other
founders of the Populist party if the glory
of their labors is to be turned over to
Teller or any one else? PETER knows, as
does every other honest Popullst know,
that there is scheme on foot to use the
Peoples party to help build up something,
anything, to defeat William Mckinley,
and he is to be commended for employing
every possible means to prevent it. 1t is
evident that Taubeneck, Teller and certain
renegade Democrats are doing their best
to organize new party for personal politi-
cal advantage, but they will fail, poor, for
lorn and hungry as the Democracy is.
