THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

The election yesterday was not sur
prising to the Record Union" on the
Mayoralty question. We had confidence
from the outset in the good Judgment
of the people of this city. Mr.. Land

nents combined, and has handsome
margin to spare. We congratulate the

So that the complexion Of the board

All the other Republican candidates
We're elected, Collector, Auditor, City
Attorney, School Directors, with the
single exception Of the Republican
nominee for the Treasurship. who was
defeated by the Democratic nominee
by so small a majority as eight.
The result as a whole is a change of
administration in the executive, and
We trust an improvement in all the
city government as a result.
The triumph of William Land is suffi-
cient cause for all the jubilation that
may be INDUCED in. We believe that
we will now have strong, vigorous,

The Fifty-third Congress authorized
the construction of six torpedo boats.
Since then thirteen more have been or

pleted. We have in commission five

have twenty-one of the boats in SER

of our torpedo boats are twenty-five to
twenty-six knot vessels. while England
IS now building twenty-eight that will
attain speed of thirty and thirty-two
knots. Those peace loving people,
therefore, who are so much disturbed
over the order to fit our navy with
twentyfour boats, must see that we
will be ill-equipped compared with the

late Chief Clerk of the Navy DEPART

out that we have really been gamers by

great have been the improvements in
torpedo boat building, that we may row

of dollars in experimenting upon new

should continue TO build boats Of this
order, for upon this all naval authori-

Las Novedades," a Spanish paner
published in New York, advises that all

lists But they are too few to count

ist. therefore. places himself in the at
titude Of an enemy to all men who
disagree with him. He is thus estop-
ped from objecting to a proceeding that

Ing for any such supplies shall state IN

ences viii be made. In any such aat-
yertisement no bid shall be asked for
any article of a specific brand or marx
nor any patent apparatus or appliances,
when such requirement would prevent
proper competition on the part of deai-
ers in other articles of equal value,
utility or merit.
1t will be observed that the law is
not SO drastic as might be at first sup
posed. But, Notwithstanding the words
price, fitness, and quality equal, all
the Eastern papers contend that the law
is in restraint of trade and prevents
that free competition contemplated by
the guaranteed right of the citizens Of
one State to trade into another. That
there is strength in that argument must
be conceded, if the premises upon which
our contemporaries proceed with their
criticism are we'll taken. But they are
not The news accounts upon which
they base their articles stated that the
law required preference to be given to
the home article whenever the home
produced article can meet the require
ments of any institution as to price and
quality of supplies" 1t will be seen
from the full reading Of the law,
therefore, that the contention of the
Cleveland "Plaindealer." for instance,
is not sound when it says:
1t may be construed to mean that
where prices and qualities are exactly
equal the preference shall be given to
the home production. On the other
hand, it may be so read as to require the
preference of the home article if ii
meets the requirements as to price and
quality, even if the articles offered from
without the State are of lower price and
better quality.
The first assumption is the correct
one, but the second is not sustained by
the law. The Record Union" will take
second place to no influence in the State
in loyalty to California. II is, as it al
of every desirable movement to up
build and develop the State and every
worthy interest in it, 1t has stood all
the years of its life for fair play and
an open field. While, therefore, it is the
devoted friend and champion of all
worthy home interests, it cannot fail
to see, and does not hesitate to say, that
this statute is going to cause trouble
for California. Its unWisdom we can
not doubt. Encoura cement of home
production is always creditable and
praiseworthy, but we must be able to
put our products into competition with
those of other States without such
fencing and guards as the statute at
tempts to set up. Handicapped as Cal
ifornia is by distance from the great
her products out, we must remember
that Eastern manufacturers and pro-
ducers are at similar disadvantage in
bringing their goods in. To add to that
a law that cuts away the discretion of
the awarding board, and we reach a
point inviting retaliation against which
we cannot possibly stand, even if ii is
conceded, which we do not think can
be granted that it is not in restraint
of trade and therefore in violation of
constitutional guarantees.

still insists that the Government will
lose millions" if the Union Pacific is
sold on the 1st of November, instead
of some day after the 18th of De
cembar. Nevertheless, the promised
competition between the Vanderbilt
syndicate and the Sage-H Huntington
syndicate seems to give an indication
that the bidding on the 1st of No
vemher will be 'for blood and that
the price may run up much above the
Government nominal interest in the
roads. IF the roads are not sold now,
long before the 18th of December,
Huntington and Vanderbilt may have
made it all up. so that the price would
not be so high as that which will be
paid now, and. furthermore, Hunting
ton might acquire control of the road
when it is sold But 50 far as one can
see at present the principal effect of
the postponement might be that Con-
gress would consent to Russell Sage's
bond scheme. whereby Mr. Huntington
would be permitted to buy the road
without putting up single dollar OF
actual cash. Is it for this that post
ponement is asked?
Let it be borne in mind that however
high the price might be bid at some
future date, the Government can get
only a fixed amount out of the sale of
the road. That is to say, the amount
of the principal and interest of its
claims. The Government does not own

Bombay:
s.This terrible bubonic plague is
working fearful havoc in nearly all
branches of the native community.
Some 100000 persons have left town.
The Baroda railway alone has put on
six extra trains day to provide accom-
modations for those leaving by their
line. In the railway station here at

for an opportunity to leave by the
Great India Peninsula trains. The peo-
pie are dazed and terrified.
"In the Hindoo burying ground down
on Queens road, DR.. Jedde, the assist
ant coroner, says that the papers give
not fractional part of the facts as to
the plague; that in one burying ground
the day before there had been 100 bod
les brought. and that they could not
dispose of them fast enough. In the
Mohammedan burying grounds they
are laying four and five bodies in a
grave. And yet, with all this about US,
not native Christian has had an at.
tack.
eight Europeans, if not more, have
died of it. At first it was thought that
about 80 per cent recovered, but later
facts from various sources prove the
fatality to be even greater.
