THE PROSPECTS OF THE YEAR.

I RIGHT and full of promise all the pros r \ poets, of the year for America, but gloomy
 and threatening those which confront the nations of Europe and Asia. Here we need exercise only the most ordinary prudence and industry to achieve prosperity, but in the Old World there will be required the utmost and watchfuness to avoid widespread and almost universal disaster. Fortunately the outlook i'll even the most menaced portions of the world abroad is not so bad as to weaken the sanguine hopefuness with which go forward to the work that awaits The power known as the concert of Europe understands too well the dangers of to permit any single nation to lightly disturb the existing peace. More than once in recent years complications serious those which now fill the nations with fore bodngs of immediate have been solved by the concert and peace maintained, and equally good result may be expected Tn the settlement of the fictng claims of the Orient.
 Even if war breaks out 1t will not prove directly injurious to us Our industries are largely indepen dent of European Asiatc conditions. The articles we export to those lands are mainly of prime sty and will be needed by their consumers in times of not less than in times of peace. Both n- dustres and our commerce. therefore safe as human affairs be- and the outlook of the year is full of promise for them, notwithstanding the ing situation elsewhere
 
 of the protective tariff has been the most salient fea ture of the past year in the United States, and as tariff issues out of politics confidence has turned to the people and enterprises under way in every section of the Union All that is lack ing a complete of business is the settle ment of the currency problem and that may be req sonably expected in the future
 For California and all the Pacific Coast the pros poets unusually bright. The wonderful stories of gold discoveries brought from Alaska last summer and confirmed by reports that continue to come in have attracted to this coast and to gold mining the attention of the entire civilized world. Thousands of enterprising capitalists, bold adventurers and hardy miners coming West, and San Francisco will be the point of rendezvous and outtting for the great majority of them This means stimulus to our commerce, demand for products, a new era of development in mines and an increased activity in all lines of industry.
 Well assured of good legislation at Washington and of good conditions for trade in all sections of our country, without fear of disaster go forward in all avenues of advancement that open to us. It is year of opportunity for California, and the only responsibilities 1t imposes those of enter prise diligence and the continuous manifestation of a spirit of harmony and mutual cooperation.

FIGHTING POSTAL REFORM.

~ CONGRESSMAN LOUD has given notice Of | an intention to press the enactment of his bill > providing for the amendment of the postal laws relating to second class mail matter, and, result the opponents of the measure are engaged in vigorous agitation against it. It, therefore, be- hooves the friends of the to be equally ac- tive in order that the much desired reform may be accomplished.
 The issue is one that has been long discussed and is generally understood The bill proposed by MT. Loud is in the interests of economy and fair dealing and has been well received by merchants and other business throughout the country. The object is simply to put end abuses practiced under the law by which the revenues of the government are diminished and the postal service rendered burden upon the government instead of being sef-support- ing
 The bill as reported by MT. Loud admits to the mails secondclass matter all newspapers and peri odca publications which are issued at stated inter vals and frequently four times year, but pro poses prohibit the admission of books reprints of books and to abolish the sample copy privilege newspapers.
 The amendment is necessary to justice between citizens as to economy of service. At the present time the publishers of cheap and trashy books issue them parts of so-called periodical library and get low fates through the mails while the publishers of standard works have no such advantage. The government is thus put in the position of promoting the circulation of comparatively vicious literature at the expense of that which is instructive and valuable | The Sample copy" abuse is even than that of the periodical library" Under the pretense of being sample copies of regular newspapers millions of what really more than advertising circulars are sent through the mails the expense of the tax payers. Thus the public has to pay for advertising private business in which the people have no inter- est whatever.
 The leading opponents of the reform have held a meeting at New York and organized for the fight A committee has been appointed to carry the con- test, and there will be pretty strong lobby Wash ington to defeat the if possible This there fore, is the time for public sentiment to declare itself on the subject. The friends of the measure in Con- gress should be strengthened in their resolve press the reform this winter and put end abuses that have been tolerated too long.

A ticket backed and generally
believed to have been nominated
by the town marshal and the town
attorney, with we presume the mayor
remotely in the background, can
not have the support of the Trib-
une. We believe in good govern
ment and the impartial enforce
ment of law and order. We know
and every body knows what evils
and abuses have existed under the
present regime. We don't think
the town wants any more of them.
We have nothing to say against
the candidates on the Union ticket,
personally. They are men of in
telligence, most of them of con-
siderable experience and Incl,
dentally have always been on
terms of personal good fellowship
with everyone connected with the
management of the Tribune But
we consider that they committed a
grave error in allowing their
names to be appropriated by the
promoters OF the Union ticket and
by placing themselves under polit-
ical obligations to those men.

As forcshadowed in The Tribune,


nominated and filed late on Satur-
day. Like the Union ticket ii was
the conception of few men
gathered together in private and
brought forth in the same way,
by petition, without any declara-
ton of principles or intentions.
But its promoters are very differ
ent men to the promoters of the
Union ticket. They are men pos
sessed of political honesty if not
always of the courage of their con-
victions. They are not, most of
them, politicians in any sense.
And therein perhaps lies the
weakness of their ticket. We be-
lieve they have made a grave
political blunder. Had their ticket
been first in the field with an en-
phatic declaration of principles
similar to the Peoples platform
and nominated in open convention,
we fail to see that objection could
have been raised to it. Moreover
we believe that had its promoters
called an early convention, or If
they had attended in strength
the mass meeting called on Thurs
day evening and expressed their
views and endeavored to impress
them upon that meeting, they
would have obtained all they de-
sired and would now be enthusias-
tic supporters of the Peoples
ticket. They are honest opponents
of the Union ticket on the identi-
cal grounds that The Tribune is
opposing it, so far as we can ascer-
tain. They cannot cavil at any
plank in the platform of the
Peoples ticket. But we under
stand that they wanted another
plank added and that one or two
of the candidates selected by that
ticket are not personally acceptable
to them. Why did they not say
what they believed and propose
other candidates at the public
meeting which only three or four
of them attended although the en-
tire town was invited? We fear
that they are now making the
mistake of creating diversion
that may prove to be in favor of
the common enemy. The two
most prominent candidates on the
Union ticket have declined to
deny that they will continue
officials of the present administra-
ton in power. One of them is
now n member of the present
mayors majority In the council.
Can we who demand the enforce
ment of law and order. the cleanly,
impartial conduct of the town, the
promotion of its progress and vel
fare-can we afford to divide our
force, to split hairs over the per-
sonality of candidates and their
hackers and perhaps thus permit
L..
control of the council? We think
not. Thomas Robinson is clean,
honest, upright man, whd. has

stance for the welfare of the town

The spaniards have found a scapegoat.
They put the blame for their misforrunes
on Columbus. AS he has been dead about
400 years, it doesn't matter much 10 him
whether they blame him OF not for their
troubles.
The Spanish newspapers say: "The col
ouies. instead of enuching. have impov-
erlshed the country. Columbus, in dis
covering the new world, was not SPANS
bonefactor. but her evl genius"
II Spain had dealt justly with her colo
MES she would have had no occasion to
blame Columbus or anybody else for her
misfortunes, because there would not, in
all probability. have been any. at
least not such as those from
which she is now suffering. Her
colonies, instead Of being a source of
weakness to her, would have added TO her
wealth and prosperity. For centuries,
however, Spain's policy w95 to get all she
could from her colonies and give nothing
back to them. She robbed them right and
left It is not to be wondered at, there
fore, that she was drained of her wealth
and her young men to keep them under
her yoke.
The only part of her people that got
anything out of her colonies were those
she sent to rule them, and a few of her
merchants. These few grew rich by their
unlawful exacGons while the great mass
Of the Spanish people were taxed beyond
their ability TO pay to maintain the armies
that were necessary to prevent successful
revolts in the colonies.
No. the Spaniards have no reason to
blame Columbus for the disasters which
have overtaken them. They have only
themselves to blame. Under a wise and
liberal rule she might have retained her
vast possessions in South America and the
West Indies, and they would not only have
become rich and prosperous themselves,
but they would have kept her in the front
rank Of the Powers of Europe.
