The government has at last exer-
cised censorship over the news re-
garding the movements of the fleets.
and the result hes been dearth OF
news in all the daily papers, except
those which manufacture their news
at the home office. The censorship
would have been iustifable several
weeks ago as patriotism is evidently
taking secondary place to the So
called newspaper enterprise.

MR. CAGES CANVASS.

| Al K. GAGE in making his canvass for the gov / \ ernorship had the good fortune at Santa Bar bara, as at Los Angeles of addressing the people shortly after Mcguire that the contrast be- tween the language, the sentiments, and the political methods of the two men clearly discernble to the public It is which counts so impressvely in favor of the Republican candidate that 1t will un- doubtedly go far in determining the result of the vote of election day.
 Perhaps the most striking feature of the contrast between the rival candidates is that shown in the at titude of each toward his opponent Mcguire goes about denouncng and vifying the Republican party, the Republican State Convention and the Republican candidates. Mir. Gage has words of vihcation for any one and makes use of denuncation only to demn the sanderous methods of his opponent.
 Answering the charge made by Mcguire and by his supporting orators and organs that the members of the Republican State Convention had been domi- mated by corrupt influences Mr. Gage said at Santa Barbara: I take pleasure here tonight in denoun- cing that calumny. It is beneath who aspires to the high office of Governor of this State to utter such statement. 1 would not have the temerity the dshonor say that the gentlemen who composed the Democratic convention assembled at Sacramento were band of scoundrels or were dominated by rupt influences No, never would 1 make such sault upon common manhood in that manner. It would be dishonorabe. Every Democrat, every Populist, every man, woman and child in this audience who hears my voice knows it would be dishonorable for to assail the integrity of such body of men by making such sweeping charges against them, and it is equally reprehensible the part of the gentleman who heads the Democratic ticket to say such things of the Republican convention"
 In this single statement we have illustration of
 the striking contrast between the characters of the two candidates Mr. Gage discusses the issues of the day as a statesman, concedng the honesty of the rank and file of his opponents, but pointing out their errors; Mcguire rants like demagogue, assaing the character as well the politics of any who differs from him. MT. Gage appeals to intelligence; Maguire to ignorance The expects response from reason, the other from prejudice. The Repub lican looks for success the better sentiments of the voters while the candidate of the fused factions of discontent hopes to achieve victory by exciting one class of citizens against another and arousing all forms of passion from rage to envy.
 The people of California hardly hesitate in de- cding which of these two is the better fitted to fill the office of Governor-which is the worthy to be the chief magistrate of great commonwealth The intelligence of the voters will note the contrast between the two the campaign goes on and the suit will be overwhelming vote for the champion of clean politics and fair debate-Henry T. Gage.

NON-PHRTISANS TOO QUICK.

TT HE Non -Partisans as they choose to call
 themselves, profess to be in favor of good gov
 ernment. They regard as among their privileges that of selecting from the nominees of the regular parties the whom they consider the best and for mally indorsing them. In theory they on lofty plane. There are many other people who desire the best men for local office and do not to the political affiliations of the men,
 But have the Non-Partsans lived up to their de- clarations? They nominated Phelan for Mayor. They did this before the Democratic convention, which his nomination part of the programme, had met It strikes us that they had been sincere they would have waited. They do not know yet whom the Republicans will nominate. The choice of the party may be better man than Phelan. Yet Phelan was on the programme of the Democrats He was at the head of the slate. There was no cessity for indorsing him hastily. The -Partisans could we'll have waited and ascertaned what the Re publicans intended to do
 Perhaps the fact that the Republicans have slate is, unfortunate. As said above 1t is quite possible that fully as good a as Phelan will be put forward. It is not beyond the range of possibility that better man may be named to lead the ticket. Nevertheless the Non Partisans have deliberately tied their hands They have robbed themselves of the opportunity of making an untramneled choice. As to the head Of the municipal ticket they already bound, whereas ii they were sincere they would have waited. They have merely accepted the theory that Phelan is in vincible, and with selishness worthy of worse cause, have tried to climb into the band-wagon.
 When the Republicans shall name the man of their choice the Partisans will realize that they have been hasty By indorsing Phelan in advance they have destroyed their own influence They marked themselves as "programmers" This was an error of judgment. They might be programmes and escape rebuke but they were guilty of mistake when they proclaimed the fact

TIE MAGUIRE OF RECORD,

I JUDGE MAGUIRE has always been ready With oI personal criticisms of other men, and always as V ready to resent criticism of himself or hls record
 His course in respect to all things but his own in- terests as ofice-seeker has been tortuous
 He began holding office and seeking more at very early age and has succeeded marvelously III salary drawing career. According to one account he began his official at the age of Io But there seems no doubt that he began voting and holding ofhce at the same tine It is stated that he was drawing down $7s month in the City Attorneys office imme- diatey after he served one term in the Legislature and continued until 1878. He was then admitted to the bar and opened small law office, which was more frequented by politicians than chents lie was elected Superior Judge the Buckley ticket in 1882 and held that office six years He had not been Tn II long before he began boltng the party that gave 1t to him. His career on the bench was not marked by any extraordinary service nor evidence of high Ju- dicial ability
 Leaving it in 1889, he in private life three years. During most of the time his political activity was against the Democratic party. When on the bench he had bolted, put Hinton up for Mayor against Pond, helped nominate Whelan boter for Sheriff against White and Sumner for Congress against Nc Coppin Alter this he withdrew formally and forever from the Democratic party because 1t would not fa vor conhscaton of land, but in 1892 he bolted back into the party when Congressional nomination was in sight, and since then has been a continuous office holder and candidate. At the close of his present term in Congress he will be 4o years old will have been twenty five years voter and from fifteen to eighteen years oficeholder, and will have drawn nearly $oo,ooo in official salaries!
 There are some cases Of chronic office-holdng in this State, but none that equals his.
 He did not begin paying taxes i'll this city until some years after he began drawing official salary His first tax, amounting to $3 o6, paid in 1882 Since 1882 he has drawn $24,ooo salary as Superior Judge and 7,5oo member of Congress, and about S3ooo mileage, making total of $54,5oo, and for the period has paid in taxes $4o5 s. There are not many who in the period have taken as much of the public treasury and put as little back in taxes.
 Nor are there many men who have as persistently turned against the party which has put them in office He was never elected any but Democratic ticket and he has scruped to knife the ticket when it suited him. To him and his friends is due the defeat for Congress of Hastings, McCoppin and Ferral. They lenifed Clunie and fought Pond and the whole gang of boters, Mcguire Hinton Barry and all, themselves regular" fusion can didates and demanding the support of the party which they supported unless they were candi- dates!
