DEMOCRATIC DEMAGOGUES.

When it was reported few days ago
that the Democratic leaders intended to
rid their party OF the domination of Alt
geld and Tillman but little attention was
paid to it by the people. The report was
regarded as hope rather than as fact,
and very few expected that serious
attempt would be made by any nota-
BILE class OF Democratic statesmen to re-
alize it.
1t is now announced, however, that Mr.
Altgeld has become alarmed by the threat
and will make an active canvass for the
Democratic nomination for Senator from
Illinois. This activity on the part OF Alt
geio implies fear that the movement to
dislodge him from the supreme councils
OF the party will be undertaken in earnest,
and shows that he considers it necessary
to guard against it by taking the aggres.
sive at once.
The course of his reasoning is clear.
The Republican majority in the Illinois
Legislature will be so large that the Dem
ocratic nomination for Senator will hardly
be of sufficient Importance 20 count even
as complimentary vote; but it will nev-
ertheless serve TO show to whom the Dem
ocrats of Illinois look for leadership, and
If Altgeld secures the nomination the
attempt to read him out of the party will
be rendered futile and foolish.
The general public has but very little
interest in the family quarrels of party
SO discredited as Democracy is to-day, but
it can hardly refrain from taking sides
with the conservative leaders of the party
against the Altgelds and the Tillmans.
w Whllp have
as prevails among us at present, there
must OF necessity be an opposition as well
as an administra party, and 1t is a
matter OF National concern that the oppo-
sition should be led as wisely and patriot
ically as the successful party. An opposi-
tion headed by Altgeld and Tillman would
be almost as subyersive of the general
good as an administration under their
control, for it would mean ceaseless agi:a-
tions and endless appeals TO prejudice and
passion.
1t is startling to reflect that such men
could in this country have attained to so
much power as to even succeed in nomin-
ating candidate for the Presidency who
stood within measurable distance OF sue.
cess. The election OF Mckinley affords
the Democratic party an opportune mo-
ment for getting rid of the men who have
disgraced it and demoralized it. If any
considerable number of Democratic lead
ers resolve to overthrow Altgeld ana Till
man, they will have the sympathies of the
people. Even those men who are most
opposed to Dem mocracy will be glad to see
1T restored to its former honorable posi-
ton. No great party in this country
should be controlled by agitators, and
Democracy must get rid of Altgeld and
Tillman, or else the country will get rid of
Democracy.

THE GUATEMALAN EXHIBIT.

1t is pleasing to learn that the merchants
and manufacturers of California are tax
ing keen interest in the Guatemalan ex-
position and intend to make fairly good
exhibits of California products. The issue
is one of considerable Importance to the
State. In the nature of things our trade
in manufactured goods must be largely
with Central and South America and with
the islands of the Pacific. Everything
therefore which tends to build up that
trade carries with it promise not only OF
immediate good but OF better things to
come.
1t will be difficult for California to COM
pete with the East except in the produc-
ton OF certain classes of fruit and some
quality of manufactures of woods peculiar
to the coast. The great mass of our man.
ufacturing must seek an outlet by the
Pacific and market in those lands which
border on that great ocean. Trade with
Guatemala may be slight now, but it has
within it possibilities of growth. More
over what begins IN that small country
may expand throughout all of Central
America and extend TO the larger and
richer countries of the southern conti-
nent.
1t would be well for our people to send
to the exposition not only exhibits OF our
manufactures but delegations of the rep
resentatives of our merchants. The ex-
hibit OF manufactured goods would show
the Guatemalans what we have to sell,
while the representatives of our merchants
could study and learn what the Guate-
maians wish to buy. 1t is within the linn
its of possibility that there are many
things now demanded in Central America
which we do not produce, but can produce
prohtably as soon as we know where to
find market for them.
The pledge in the Republican National
platform TO promote the upbuilding of the
American merchant marine gives promise
of increased facilities for trade with
Pacific Ocean ports. II our merchants
find a market TO the south or in the
Orient, we can rely upon it that there will
be favorable legislation to assist US in pro-
viding the ships necessary 10 transport our
goods.
The first task is OF course to find a
market. The Guatemalan exposition Of
fers good opportunity to achieve that
purpose, and by taking full advantage OF
it we may in this dawn OF the new era OF
prosperity make the beginning of trade
which will eventually secure to our mer-
chants ana our manufacturers an oppor-
tunIty for an almost indefinite expansion
of the industry and the commerce of this
State.

THE MINERS CONVENTION.

One Of the most important conventions
assembled in the State for long time is
that OF the gold miners of California, now
being held in Odd Fellows Hall, and of
whose PROCEEDINGS full account is given
in another part of this paper.
This original industry, gold mining,
which was the cause of the settlement of
this State IN 1849 by the Americans in
large mum bers, has been for time almost
supplanted by the more extensive indus
tries of fruit-growing, WOOL growing and
wheat and cattle raising. 1t is now, how
ever, experiencing a rebirth. and within a
very short time promises to be more profit
able and to yield much larger quantities
of the precious metal than ever before.
In the pioneer days and up 10 the
time of the com parative decadence of
the mining industry all the work
done was on the surface and in the
beds of streams with sluice boxes, rock
ers and pans in the primitive fashion.
In fact considerable mining is yet being
done in that way on the old grounds by
the poorer class of workers, who are satis-
fed with earnings OF dollar or two day,
coupled with independence and hope.
Next came the era of hydraulic mining,
which was being prosecuted on large
scale, when it was practically stopped
owing to the opposition of farmers along
the banks of the streams into which the
gravel and earth were washed. Quartz
mining received some attention little
more than a decade ago and has increased
with rapid strides, with the prospect that
within the next year or two there will be
large aecessions of American and foreign
capital to work the quartz mines.
The mission OF the Miners Association
| is to settle the differences between the
| hydraulic miner and the farmer, to put
an end to the vexatious and expensive
litigation by which the validity of min
eral land titles is determined and to in
stltute several reforms for the welfare OF
| the industry.
The association is to be congratulated
on the success of it's efforts in harmonizing
the divergent interests of the farmer and
the hydraulic miner, which the reports
read yesterday seem to Indicate is in a
fair way of being accomplished. One eie-
ment in its favor is the fact that the
miners have always been abiding,
patient and forDearing under the most IT.
ritating conditions.
The temper of the present convention is
in line with this sentiment. Indeed, il
one were to judge of the convention by
the high standing and integrity of its
membership the sentiment could hardly
be otherwise. Some OF the foremost men
in the State are among its delegates, Civ
ing the benefit of their counsel and expert
ence to the younger workers in the COM
m on cause.
| The men who delve into the earth with
pick and shovel have learned the value OF
union. They have the best wishes of the
whole people of the State in their efforts
toward the advancement of the industry
10 which they have devoted their lives,
and whose prospects are now Frightening
the horizon of the future not only for
themselves but for all California.

EDOUARD REMENY|
BOBS UP SERENELY
The Great Viclinist Is So
journing in This
City.
He Has Just Completed Writing
a National Hymn for
Hungary.
CoNTEsTING FOR AGREAT PRIZE
He Accepts a Local Composition as
Part of His Concert Repertoire.
Praises Sauvlet's Talent,

Edouard Remenyi the famous Hun
garian violinist, is soiourning in this City
as the guest of G. Won Sauvlet. The fact
OF his presence was not known until yes
terday, when his sprightly figure was
observed on the street. much to the sur
prise of his many friends and admirers.
Despite the tremendous pressure which
has been brought to bear upon him as a
result of the almost uninterrupted series
of concert tours on this continent for the
past three years, he still retains his old
time ardor, and the complaisant smile
which has always been characteristic of
this genius is as winning as ever.
Mr.. Remenyi was seen last evening at
the Sauvlet residence, on Fulton street,
where few select musicians had gathered
to honor the event of the great maestro's
visit here.
Mr.. Remenyi would consent to perform
but one selection, and this was a simple
little christmas Bercepse," written es-
pecially for him by his friend SauVlet. He
declared that in point CT melody, effect
and general construction this work is in
deed of exceptional merit. After shower
ing endless praise upon the composer he
announced that he would henceforth in
clude the composition in his concert re-
pertoire.
Mr.. Remenyi has just completed a ma
tional hymn, which he intends dedicating
to the King of Hungary. 1t is of the
impressive school and calculated to
awaken the patriotic souls of his country
m en-. Mr.. Sauvlet performed the COM
position on the piano, and forcibly illus
trated the fact that RemenyTs calculations
are not based upon theory.
The facts which led up TO his determina-
tion in producing such a composition are
interesting to say the least. ''You must
first understand" said he, THAT Hungary,
being a dual empire, che Hungarians
recognize their ruler while in that ccun-
try as their King and not the Emperor OF
Austria.
1--WE have three national anthems. The
'Rakoczy,' an instrumental number, and
an invocation and national church hymn.
The latter, by Haydn, is also used in Aus
tia, and In order TO have distinct Hun
garian anthem the Parliament has offered
prize equal TO about $50, COO for a compo-
sition answering this purpose.
THE hymn which l have just completed
came to me as an inspiration and i have
no doubt as regards its acceptance"
Mr.. Remenyl has Just com pleted q sue

States and Canada, EN- bracing a period OF
one year and one day. His initial con-
cert for the coming season will take place

decided has been virtually determined,
and, this being so. he was perhaps justi-
fed in saving that the Venezuelan ques.
tion is settled.
The explanation why England does not
interfere alone for the protection of Ar
menia is so lucid that it would seem there
can hardly be any further dispute on that
subject. The only way to protect Armenia
would be to send there force sufficient to
make an armed occupation of the country,
and this England is not able to do. Until
concert of action among the great ma
tions OF Europe is arranged it would be as
foolish for the British to attempt to solve
the Turkish question as it would be for
this country TO have attempted TO settle
the money question by engaging in the
free coinage of silver without the aid or
cooperation Of Europe.
The statements of the British Premier
In regard to Egypt will aot be so well re-
celved as were his remarks concerning
Venezuela and Armenia. 1t is not un-
likely that his declaration on this question
may give rise to another European crisis.
Tor while he did not say so in direct terms
he nevertheless implied that the British
Government has no intention whatever TO
evacuate Egypt.
This is the first time that British Min
lister has ever officially made use of such
plain language in regard to the English
occupation of the Nile country, and will
be taken as evidence that England has
ceased to fear any coalition against her in
Northern Africa and is now well nigh
prepared to formally annex Egypt to the
empire.
The speech of the Prime Minister OF
England at the Lord Mayors banquet has
the form of mere after-dinner talk, but
nevertheless for long time past it has
been regarded as one of the most respon-
slble utterances of the Government. Not
even the Queens speech at the opening of
Parliament carries more weight with
diplomacy than does the address at the
Mayors banquet. 1t is certain, therefore,
that what Lord Salisbury has said may be
taken as the expression of the resolution
of the British Government on the three
great points to which we have referred.
Great Britain will submit to American
arbitration i'll Venezuela, she will not give
aid TO Armenia without the assistance of
other nations, and she has no intention to
evacuate Egypt. 1t is on this basis that
the nations of the earth must deal with
her so long as Lord Salisbury retains
power,

PURE FOOD.

Two ordinances, intended to enforce
the regulations provided by the Board OF
Health for food inspection have been
submitted 10 the Board of Supervisors
and referred to the Health and Police and
Judiciary committees jointly. These ordi.
nances affect the general welfare in i'm
portant respects and deserve attentive
consideration from all who take an inter-
est in such matters.
One of the proposed ordinances aims to
prevent the furnishing of impure or adul-
terated supplies to public institutions, and
the second is intended to prevent the sale
in the City of imp ure milk and meat.
The plan for carrying out the intention
is the same in each ordinance. It pro.
vides for the examination and inspection
at open public stations of all supplies for
municipal institutions, and of all milk or
meat intended for use as food in the CITY.
On the face of this plan there is nothing
Objectionable. 1t would seem that inspec-
ton at open public stations would be fair
both to the public and to those whose
commodities were to be investigated, and
that no harm could possibly come to deal
ers from such procedure.
communities will have to guard against
impure food. The American people, by
reason of the abundant supply of good ar
ticles of food of all classes, have been in.
different to this subject long after Euro
pean nations have made important steps
in the direction of governmental super
vision. We are, however, rapidly ap-
preaching European conditions. The de-
mand for cheap food in this country has
led TO the adulteration of various articles
intended for human consumption, and,
moreover, to the sale OF diseased or tainted
meat Diseases resulting from the use OF
such food are dangerous to the entire
ommunity, and it is not only the right
but the duty of those in authority to guard
against them.
Whether the proposed ordinances are
the best that could be devised must be left
for experts to decide. 1t is sufficient to
say the Board of Health should be clothed
with sufficient powers to protect the in
