BoO's Way.

According to s'our Bob, the charge
OF election frauds in Tennessee is q
gross slander upon the State. which
moftiies him deeply. And yet he,
claiming to be elected Governor of the
State, has publicly and unquali6edly
asserted that the greatest election
frauds were perpetrated in East Ten.
nessee, and that If he had a fair count
his plurality would be 10000 votes.
His idea is that it is all right for him
to charge wholesale election corruption
upon East Tennessee, his home divis-
ion Of the State, but any charge that
be has been given fraudulent votes in
other parts of the State is q terribly
notifying Islander upon the State. He
is not only willing that that part of
the State, for the reputation of which
he should be most jealous, should hear
the reproach of election corruption, but
goes before the public to throw upon 1t
the darkest odium, while his great,
warm heart-for which he thanked
God during the canvass-is bleeding
because of the s'vile Islander" of the

in Fayette, Upton and Hay

A COMPETING EASTERN RAILROAD
stockton Independant.


well-known Stockton engineer will start
for Salt Lake in a few DAYS to take charge of a
party OF surveyors for the Denver and Rio
Grande Railroad. which is preparing to push
its line to a connection with some independ-
ent line or TO build one of its own to tide
water in California. With that reticence which
characterizes engineers engaged iii such enter
prises he would say very little more about his
work except that it would be to find the best
available route through Utah and Nevada.
While he did not say tina the San Joaquin Val
ley was an objective point he betrayed an
opinion to that effect The building OF the
Valley road must sooner or later have the ef-
feet OF attracting other Eastern roads to a con-
necuon with it for the traffic TO be derived
from the region 1t traverses. II will be as diff
ficult for transcontinental lines to get entries
to San Francisco as for the Valley road and TO
get terminal facilities when they reach that
point.
1t is therefore natural to believe that Stock
ton will be made a terminus OF one of these
roads, and the Denver and Rio Grsnde is quite
likely to be that one. This city would afford a
transcontinental railroad a very convenient
terminus, whence it could send freight and
passengers by steamer to San Francisco and
form base OF action while 1t was getting A
line into that City. The labor and expense OF
building a road to this point would be much
less than those necessary to reach Los Angeles
which is now hoping for line to Salt LAX e
City, and when road should get there it
would not have SO desirable a seaport as this
city, which is virtually a seaport. The Mer-
chants Association might devote some atten-
ton 10 the matter of railroads which are LOOK
ing Csliforniaward and present to them the
advantages of Stockton as terminus and a
place from which the whole San Joaquin VAL
ley can be reached by traffic arrangements
with the Valley road.

THE GEAR AND TIE NIHILISTS

1t is very likely that few hot-headed
nihilists are conducting themselves 50 as
to give the impression that the order in
general has planned to assassiuate the
Car before he gets away from Moscow,
but it is safe to say that nothing of the
kind will be attempted. In the first place,
it is probable that on no other occasion in
his life, were he to live to be 100 years old,
would the person of the Gar be SO care
fully guarded.
There are fully 100000 troops in and
about Moscow for show and to protect the
Emperor, and besides this army of SOL
diers large percentage of the police
force of the empire is on duty at the old
capital. 1t would be i'm possible for one
to attack his autocratic Majesty and make
his escape; besides, it has been semi
officially given out that the Emperor will
announce that it is his purpose to immedi-
ately institute very many OF the reforms
that the nihilists demand.

THE BILL FALLS SHORT.

The Mccall immigration bill, which
passed the lower house of Congress yes
terday, is good enough as far as it goes,
but it falls short at the very point at
where il should have been strong and de-
termined. Next to free trade the intro
duction OF the cheap labor of Europe to
compete with our working people is the
most injurious to the industrial class of
this country. Establishing an educa-
tionaI test is right and proper, but it is
permitting foreign labor to come here,
throw our wage-earners out of employ
ment by cutting down wage schedu les,
working until the required sum of money
is saved and then sailing away to their
own countries to live in and to protect
systems of government that are continu-
ally trying to undermine the United
States that hurts.
1t is said that there are fully 100000 for
eigners employed by our coal, coke and
iron industries who secured employment
by cutting below the wage schedules of
our working people, and who have no use
whatever ior our institutions other than
the opportunity they afford them to earn
money enough to return to their old
homes and buy an acre or two cf land and
spend the rest of their days in compare
tive idleness, and all at the expense of
| our own people. Thousands of Canadians
may be found every month in the year
upon our northern border taking jobs
away from men and women who are
worthy and true citizens of the United
States.
1t is the failure of the Mccall bill to do
justice to our own citizens that we COM
plain of. Industrious, sober and worthy
foreigners are most welcome but first we
want to know that they come to build
homes for themselves, and to identify
themselves with this country 1t is wrong
to permit this country to be a mere con-
venience FOR people of other nations, and

listing system of non-protection to our

IMPORTANT EVENTS.

equivocally for equal suffrage. While the edi-
tor OF the Pacific Empire is delighted at this
new departure of the greatest of CALIFORNIA;
great dailies she is not surprised, for she well
remembers the boyhood days of its enterpris-

who got headed the right way in Salem, Or,
when he and his brother Sam, now leading
attorney in the Bay City lat that time mere
boys) would proudly post bills for the suffrage
meetings conducted by their able sister, Clara

THE WILMERDING SCHOOL.

The Board OF Regents met yesterday and
listened to the claims of Stockton, Temes-
cal and San Francisco, presented for the
location of the Wilmerding School, San
Francisco made these points: That the
school should be located where it would best
carry out the purposes of the trust-a
working-trades schooi-and, secondly, it
should be located where it would do the
most good. An elaboration of these points
clearly favors San Francisco, but the main
contention, and which should be the gov
erning one, is this: What were the inten-
tons of the late J. c. Wilmerding in estab-
fishing the trust? Did he intend to locate
it in San Francisco?
The attorney who drafted the will,
E. ]. McCutcheon, testifes that in an
original will Mr.. Wilmerding had given
$3.50, 900 to the Art Association OF San
Francisco, and the same week he heard
of Searles' donation, and on a sick
bed wrote a note to Mr.. McCatcheon
requesting on that account that trades
school be substituted. San Francisco was
not mentioned in words, which was ap-
parently clear accidental omission, for
his executors and friends, William Alvord,
Thomas J. Lamb and G.. A. Fargo, all tes-
fed that he had never thought of anv
other place and that he had expressed him.
self favorably to locating the school at the
Potrero. These men, being the executors
of the dead man. who cannot speak for
himself and having no selfish interest to
serve, their words are entitled to the
greatest weight
That, however. is not all. Mr. Fargo tes-
I'D Io+ Il
he pointed out to him desirable sites for
the school. Mr.. Lamb testified that in
conversation with street urchins Mr. Will
merding learned that they were idle be-
cause they had no trade, and he wa moved
to found his proposed school by considera-
ton of the fact that boys growing up in
San Francisco have not the means of max
ing livelihood.
In case the intentions of Mr.. Wilmer
ding are not carried out by the regents.
other benefactors who are making wills
or who will in the future seek some
avenues of philanthropy will hesitate be-
fore appointing their trustees and thus the
well Of philanthropy will dry up or be di-
verted to other channels. Certainly the
regents, who are men of high character,
cannot ignore what appears to be the COM
mon mind as to the intentions of Mr.. Will
merding to found a school in the city
where he lived and accumulated his for
tune and in the welfare of whose boys he
always expressed lively interest. San
Francisco, being the most central point,
offers every lnducement to boys in the in
terror to come here to attend school. and
in San Francisco the school will be OF
most benefit to the greatest number OF
boys, whether they reside here or come
from remote parts of the State.

A LOST TYPE.

Oh, for a glimpse Of Ii natural boy
A bow with freckied facei
With forehead white meath tangled hair
And limbs devoid OF grace;
Whose feet toe in while his elbows fare;
Whose knees are patched all ways;
Who turns red as lobster when
You give him q word OF praise.
A boy who's born with an Appetite;
Who seeks the pantry shelf
To eat his ''piece' with resounding smack
Who isn't gone on himself;
"RobinsOn Crusoe" reading boy,
Whose pockets bulge Wi n trash;
Who knows the use OF rod a I'd gun
And where the brook trout splash.
It's true he'll sit in the easiest chair,
With his hat on his tousled head:
I hat his hands and feet are everywhere,
For youth must have room 10 spread.
But he doesn't dub his father ''old man.
Nor denv his mothers call,
Nor ridicule what his elders say,
Or think that he knows il all.
a rough and wholesome natural boy
OF a good, old-fashioned clay;
God bless him, if he's still on earth.
For he'll make man some day.

yield than to have the clash and conflict of
argument. Doubtless ii the truth could be

voted for the equal-suffrage plank, will go into
the booth next November and vote against the
equal suffrage amendment. Bnt patriotic men
might DO worse on either questions of princ-
