a GOOD NOMINATION.

The nomination of ex-Speaker John C..
Lynch of San Bernardino for the vacancy
in the Office of Lieutenant Governor was
one of the best selections made
by the Sacramento convention. It will
undoubtedly receive the full approval of
the party, and prove popular in all Sec
tions of the State.
The Office is one which Mr.. Lynch is
exceptionally well fitted to fill by natural
talents and qualities, by his training and
by his experience as presiding officer of a
parliamentary body. He was not elected
Speaker of the Assembly by any fortuitous
combination of circumstances. He won
that position by the record of good work
done in political life, and the high reputa-
ton he carried into the Office was in
creased and strengthened by the able, i'm
partial and honorable manner in which
he fulfilled all its duties and responsible
ties. He has, therefore, deserved the
party promotion now offered him, and
will undoubtedly be elected by majority
that his friends can be proud of.

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

In declaring against the proposed fund
ing scheme of the Pacific railway COM
panies the Sacramento convention not
only voiced the sentiments of the Repub-
lican party, but of business men of all
parties. The question of these RAILWAYS
paying their honest debts to the Govern
mentis one of business and not at all a polit-
ical one. yet il is just as well to call atten-
ton to the fact that the Repu blican party,
in its official capacity, has put itself on
record as being opposed to any further
dillydallying with these companies, and
that if they pursist in denying to the Gov
ernment fair and equitable settlement,
the Government should foreclose its mort
cages as it would do with any other
creditor.
1t has been apparent SO long that the
Pacific companies had no other idea than
to evade compliance with the letter or the
spirit OF the claim OF the Government upon
them that the people now want prompt
settlement, and one that shall be accom-
plished on business principles. There is
no disposition anywhere to deal harshly
or arbitrarily with them, but they owe a
just debt, and in very provoking way
eyince no disposition to either pay it or Sc
cure it upon any terms except those of
their own making. That is not the way
business men do business.

THE MERCHANTS wRoNGED.

The function of newspaper is so diss
tinct from that of merchant that any at
tempt made by newspaper to cover both
fields must necessarily work various kind s
of injury. This statement is made because
of the length to which some newspapers,
in their eagerness to secure subscription
list based on something besides merit are
going in usurping the field and injuring
the business of merchants. The singular
Inconsistency of such q course is manifest
when it is reflected that, other things be-
ing equal, the advertising sp ace of paper
is valuable in proportion to the extent of
the circulation, and that when a news
paper undertakes to sell articles for the
advertising of which it might receive q
generous income it is destroying the value
of its advertising columns.
But such newspapers are shrewd enough
to confine their sales of merchandise to a
limited range OF articles, thus concentrat-
ing the injury on the merchants dealing
in such articles and still retaining the
value of their advertising space for dealers
in other articles. It is evident that the
merchants who advertise under such cir
cumstances are thoughtlessly aiding the
publisher In inluring merchants in other
lines OF business. A thorough oreaniza-
tion by merchants would render effective
demand that this incursion of newspa-
pers into the field of the merchants will
not be permitted. However different NAV
be the lines of business which merchants
pursue they have common interest, and
as measure of self-protection they should
guard it. While coupon" newspaper
ha
tomorrow it may be launching pianos
clothing or anything else.
This is the aspect of the case from the
merchants point of view. Taking the side
of the publisher it is evident that any
resort to coupons" and lotteries in order
to initiate the circulation is not only a con.
fession that the desired circulation cannot
be secured by legitimate means, but is a
direct violation of the faith upon which
space is offered TO advertisers More than
that advertisers should (as the more in
telligent of them do) reflect that advertis
ing space in paper with an inflated and
artificial circulation has wholly indeter.
inmate value. People who subscribe to a
paper, not for what it publishes, but for
the coupons" which it contains or in the
hope of winning prize in a lottery which
it runs, cannot be expected to have that
respect and affection for it that they would
have for paper which they have selected
for its intrinsic merits. and cannot be
expected to give it close reading; nor,
for that matter, can it be assumed that a
majority of the readers lured by these
cheap bats are the most valuable addi-
! tions to the subscription list from the adj
vertiser's point of view. An advertiser in
such paper as THE CALL, which resorts
to no such cheap devices, knows that the
paper is taken solely on its merits, and
that its subscription list is strong and
healthy, not only on that account, but fol
the further presumable reason that the
class OF readers who take papers for the
sake of their coupons and lotteries do not
appear in its list.

pretty well known in this State that the foot
hills OF the Slerras fairly swarm with all kinds
and sizes of butterflies q certain seasons of the
year. The County of Mariposa, for instance,
takes its name from the Spanish word mean
ing butterfly, on account of the enormous
numbers of these moving insects to be seen
there.
The Baron de Rothschild has written that he
especially wants all the varied kinds of butter
flies from Mariposa and from other localities
along the Sierra Range. Hesalso desires that
Mr.. Dunn collect for him in the vicinity OF La
Paz the many specimens he may find there
which are valuable from scientific stand
point. Mr.. Dunn, who has been collecting
specimens in California and elsewhere on the
coast for forty-seven years, will leave for La
Paz in day or two. He will be gone several
weeks, and when he returns will move upon
the myriads of butterflies in Mariposa.

A STRONG DELEGATION.

The Republican party of California de-
serves congratulations for the superior
timber composing the delegation to the
National Convention. 1t is made up OF
men of whom any State would be proud,
and it is safe to say that no delegation at
st. Louis will be stronger or more earnest
in advancing the interests of their own
section of the Union, while upholding the
general welfare of the Nation and the
great principles of the Republican party.
The party will expect of these delegates
that they will work in perfect harmony.
While it may be too much to hope that
California's influence at st. Louis may not
be sufficient to cause the National party to
adopt all the views which the Californians
have expressed in their platform, it is evil
dent that if no earnest and united demand
is made we may expect nothing.
1t is equally clear that an earnest fight
now will go to the credit of future en-
deavor, and that victory against odds
comes only from persistent effort. One OF
the greatest misfortunes under which
California suffers is the lack of Eastern
understanding concerning both our needs
and our National Importance. Had the
education of the East been as thorough as
that of California we should never have
heard of Republican support OF the rail-
road funding bill.
The California delegates going to st.
Louis are not only thoroughly advised,
but most of them are men of influence,
able and persuasive takers, and they will
doubtless say some things on the floor of
the convention to delegates privately that
will be long remembered.
One thing is clear. These gentlemen
are charged with heavier and more COM
pick responsibility than has ever been
taken from California to National Con-
vention. Never before has q California
party platform so fully expressed the needs
of the State, and never was State Con-
vention more in earnest in its determina-
ton that its views should be weighed and
treated with respectful consideration by
National Convention. Our delegates are
fully aware of this fact. They realize that
men of weight, integrity and determine
ton In proportion to the gravity of their
trust were selected to represent the State,
and they may be depended on to discharge
their responsibility accordingly,

the State. The lower footings show how
much OF each substance was mined and its
value. The side footings show the value OF
the entire mineral product of each county

that of the whole. The figures are made up
from direct returns from producers, except
those of gold and silver for which the United

most famous naturalist on the Pacific Coast,
some DAYS ago received letter from Baron de

great European banker asking him to devote

He wants all kinds of butterflies, he says, his
idea being To make a collection of the most
brilliant and beautiful insects Of this sort to be
found In the world. The Baron has four

A GOOD MOVE.

The San Francisco CALL which is a most ex-
cellent newspaper, is not slow to observe the
signs OF the times and the justice of any cause,
consequently on Saturday last 1t did what the
Gazette did one month ago-came out fiat
footed in favor of women's suffrage. From a
financial point of view this is good move for
THE CALL, but from our acquaintance with
Editor Shortridge We are convinced that he
has made his announcement from purely con-
scientious motives.
He knows that an injustice has been done to
the women of this land in not giving them the
right of ballot, and he has determined to use
his influence in righting the wrong that has
SO long been done the women Of our land We
hope that his example will be followed by
every paper in the State right away.

them, hence the railways cannot plead
that they are objects Of charity. They are
abundantly able to pay the Governments
claims. but tits evident that they do not
intend to pay them if they can by hook or
crook get out of it. So, the whole question
is, Shall they be made to pay The Repub-
lioan party of California says they should
pay. and the trade, commerce and indus
tries of not only California but of the Pa
cifc Coast States demand that they pay or
the Government foreclose its liens. 1t is
all very simple business proposition, and
the Government has the advantage.
