THE ELEGTI0N

The City Election is in progress today as we go to press and the full result of the same will be published in tomorrcw's Daily GRAPHIC. The GRAPHIC has regarded this contest as a friendly rivalry between honor able citizens for an exalted office, and has therefore remained neutral throughout the campaign. It has been the rule of this newspa per to take no stock in local campaigns except where there is nomination oy the Democratic party. We have long been of the opinion that the Democratic party should hold pri- maries for the nomination Of ticket in municipal contests the same as in county eampaigus, and we hope to see this policy ultimately adopted in the selection of city officers. In a free for all fight, where the party as Q party has taken no action it is the policy of the GRAPHIC to remain neutral, except where the best interests of the city may be menaced by the candidacy of some corrupt politician.
 In the present campaign the GRAPnIc has regarded all tho eandi- dates as honorable gentlemen, and having "no friends to reward nor enemies to punish, it has been con- tented to let the people make their own selections without suggestion or dictation. The people are soyer- eign, and whoever the people select for their officers will be satisfactory to the GRAPHIC.
 But when elected to office the GRAPHIC will hold the officers to a strict account of their duties.

California Is Widely Celebrated, but Lit-

 In the first place, California is known not by what millions of people have seen, but by what millions have read. Europe is better known by contact to Americans than California, A promi- nent American author recently tdigeov. cred California and filled the newspa- pers with the interesting and suggestive impressions it had made upon his mind. He had been to Europe 20 times and to the Pacific coast once, which is once of- tener than many other distinguished travellers of the eastern seaboard Still further, the Anglo-Saxon race is dealing with new conditions in California. Coming from dense forests, from a land of heavy rainfall and from d temperate climate, where winters are long and stern, 1t settled in treeless deserts. in land ot slight and peculiar rainfall and under Il sky that never knows the win ter.

A DRUNKEN ITALIANS PLOT
Attempted to Blow Up a Train
With Dynamite.
A Policeman Grappled With Him,
and, Assistance Coming, He Was
Finally Oyerpowered.

Mount Vernon, N. Y, Aprn An ex-
tFaordnary outrage, by which hundreds
of lives might have been sacrificed, was
attempted by an Italian at West Mount
Vernon late last night.
Baliidin picanini, an Italian labOter,
in dI Iunken frenzy deliberately attempted
to blow up tie midnight local with dynd-
mite aud had his purpose remained un-
discovered for three more minutes the
town would undoubtedly today have been
plunged into universal mourning for many
of its foremost citizens. Il
Just before the northbound train was due
to pass a spot near West Mount Vernon,
Policeman Devcaugh saw an Italian sitting
by the track. He had previously been OBJ
served TO he acting in a mysterious man
ner and the policeman, determined to in.
yestigate. "
When he approached the man the latter
appeared To he lying close to the north
bound track in a helpless state OF intoxtca-
ton, but closer inspection howed that the
Italian held two big bars OF "a substance,
which by the light OF his lantern, Devcaugh
quickly recognized as dynamite, immedi-
ately over the rails of the track.
When asked what he was doing there,
the man suFliIy replied that he was going
TO blow up the next tGin that passed.
Devcaugh seized the Italian and a t
tempted 10 drag him from the place, but
bis diaholical adversary was Of extremely
powerful build, and terrific struggle
ensued.
TIE policeman cried loudly for help,
and it was not until four more policemen
had come to his assistance that the
frenZied Italian could be carried from the
place. The next moment the New York
tram, with its merry crowd Of returning
theatergoers, all unconscious of the peril
they had escaped, dashed past the spot.
II is believed that Picauni was actuated
by aDaTchistiC motives 10 attempt the dia-
holical outrage. On Saturday night last
meeting Of about forty Italians was held
in the Italian barracks at W est Mount V Ver-
non, and many incendiary and violent
speeches against capital and capitalists
were made.
Picanini was at this meeting, and his at
tempt to wreck the train was probably the
result of fanatical anarchisnl.
