The city of Sacramento will be ben
Gifted by having the Board of Trus-
tees strongly Republican. Response
bility will then attach and we will have
something back of local legislation to
which all the people can look. The
nominees for the Trusteeships as put
forward by the Republican party are
well-known citizens of good standing,
longtime residents of the city, some
of them native born Sacramentans, We
believe All their life interests are
here; competency, interest, business ca
pacity and integrity fortify them. To
elect them means to give the Republi
can party an effective working major
ity in the board. To scatter votes
among a host of Independents, and the
nominees of variety of temporary or
ganizations and semi-party concerns,
result in giving the city a Dolly Var
den board. in which responsibility will
be so divided that blameworthiness
cannot be located. What that means
is too obvious to call for recital.

anybody. nor that in the present de-
mand for recovery of the property
there is another in contemplation. Yet
We have the impression, a sort OF
dreamy idea, that whenever a great
city in which the practical politician
runs affairs as he does in San Fran
cisco, makes turn in selling or buy
ing property, things are managed so
that he at least is not a loser
San Francisco ought to have more
space about her City Hall, she should
never have sold of the skirts of Yerba

bow room by recovery of the heritage
she disposed of for mess of pottase,

accomplished without the willy munich

WAKE UP. GENTLEMEN.

Stockton Record: Our local contem-
poraries are becoming somewhat ad-
dicted to the habit of contrasting Stock
ton and Sacramento, and invariably
drawing deductions favorable to Stock
ton. Local pride is pardonable, and
the Record" thinks it is as proud as
may be of the metropolis of the San
joaquin Valley, but we must admit
that in at least one important respect
Stockton is far and away behind our
sister city Of Sacramento. Reference
is had to the wholesale department of
trade Sacramento has wholesale
houses that outsrip those in San Fran
cisco. This is true in various lines of
goods.
The San Francisco Wave Saturday
had an editorial note complaining that
Sacramento was usurping the whole
sale grocery trade that belonged to
San Francisco. Sacramento has big
stores that would do credit to cities
many times it's size. The proprietors
are energetic, wide-awake, and they
appreciate the advantage of printers
ink in pushing their business. They
are liberal advertisers in their home
papers. They are on the alert for bust
ness. and take good care that nothing
slips by them to San Francisco. Sup
posing that Sacramento was the nat
ural supply depot for the rich mines
of Tuolumne Amador and Calaveras
counties. her merchants and manu-
facturers would not sit listlessly in
their offices and see the business float
by them to San Francisco. Not bit
of it, Let Stockton merchants be taught
a lesson by the example of Sacramento
Stockton has every natural advantage,
and it only requires that those be sup
plemented by energy and judicious ad-
vertising.
Every stamp mill that goes to Gala
veras Tuolumne or Amador Counties
should be made in a Stockton factory.
Every piece of repairing should be done
in Stockton, where it can be done as
well and cheaply and in three days
less time than in San Francisco. Every
stick of timber that goes into these
mines should be purchased here. All

Mayor Hubbard says in his letter to
the wheelmen: Mr. Land shows by
his remarks that he has been in Euro
pean cities. and has seen good streets,
but it don't follow that he knows any
more about constructing them than a
schoolboy would. and in fact he is like
most people, they know a good pave
ment when they see it, but how to con-
struct it is a very different question"
For cooiness and coarse grammar COM
mend US to that extract No indeed,
it Don't follow" That is true. But,
when a man observes, studies and takes
notes of construction, and years be-
fore he has an idea of running for May
or Of his home city, comes back from
such observation, study ana note TAX
ing. and tells his neighbors what he
describes the accomplishments of those
skilled in street making, evidently it is
likely to follow" That's precisely
the difference between VIM. Land and
his chief competitor. He has seen,
and observed, and believes he has
learned something, while Mayor Hub
bard has not seen, not observed, and
the people know that he does not
know If he had observed and if he
knew, he would have exerted his power
as Chief Executive of the city and pre-
vented the serious damage to the ma
cadamized streets that has resulted
from official incompetency, easy good
nature and happy go-lucky careless
ness. If his executive power was not
sufficient. he would at least have made
such a noise about it that whoever was
at fault would have been brought to
the bar of official judgment.

Wr1tlns About Politics and Gold and Silver
as Money Metals.
Des Moines, Iowa, October 12-Gov.
Boies has written letter to the Leader
upon the subject of bullion as a basis
of national currency.
At the outset he asks the questions:
Gold and silver bullion for money: is
it practicable? Can they be made an
invariable double standard for the
measurement of values?" He answers
these questions in the affirmative, and
says that Mr.. Window suggested the
basis of plan which he Celebrates. He
concludes his letter thus: "It is said
no plan of that character would be in
accord with the Chicago platform. That
is true. but the Chicago platform has
had its day in court before the tribunal
of last resort. Must Democrats to be
loyal adhere to it forever? The sugges-
ton is at variance with the whole the
DRY of our form Of government If
valid election would settle nothing, ma
jorities would cease to rule and when
a political issue was once Joined the
warfare over it would go on until one
or the other of the parties to it was to-
tally annihilated."
