THE FIRST DISTRICT FIGHT.

The Board of Supervisors, the local
legislature of the county, should be
Republican and in harmony with the
other units of county government,
which now are, and will remain Re-
publican in majority. To that end vot-
no stone unturned that may with hon
esty be moved, to secure the election
Of Dougald ellis. Mr.. Gillis has been
in business in the district for almost a
third Of a century. He has remained a
straight Republican, never faltering,
never failing to respond when his prin-
ciples demanded advocacy or defense.
He has won the respect and esteem
Of the entire community for his manly
straightforward life, his personal vir-
tues, his correct business methods and
his public spirit He is every inch
American, patriotic to the limit, and as
devoted a Sacramentan as breathes the
air Of the county. In fact, Mr.. Gillis'
personal, party and citizenship claims
are so strong that it seemsl fdle to treat
Of his election other than as a foregone
conclusion. But he is opposed by a
combination of parties in the first place,
by independent candidates in the next,
and thus the vote of the district is
going to be divided, and hence the re-
suit is rendered something matter of
uncertainty, though we have confidence
in his election. Mr.. Gillis' candidacy
should, therefore, command the special
concern Of his friends, of the supporters
Of the party generally and of all citi-
zens who want business capacity, ster-
ling integrity, intelligence and Re-
publican in the office

Chaplain Mcintyre has been found
guilty Of indiscreet and unoficerlike
language, in contempt of the navy and
in disrespect Of his superior officers. He
is to be dismissed and very properly.
It would be charitable to say that the
Chaplain was not conscious Of the force
and effect of his language in his no.
torious lecture. But the court martial
which patiently heard all the testi-
mony could find no such palliation for
his offense. This dismissal is the one
and only incident of an unpleasant
character in the splendid success and
brilliant career Of the navy in the war
and it's aftermath. Public opinion will
extend no sympathy to the discharged
Chaplain. 1t was a clear case Of too
much jaw and too little discretion, and
the consequences the offender must suf-
fer for the good Of the service.

In the Orient the King is all-powerful
and Princes may marry beggars if they
choose. Her fine brain has schemed
through all these years and has finally
made her the mistress of the Chinese
throne. She is the stepmother of the
dethroned Emperor. This accounts in
part for the cruel way in which she
has treated the sacred person of the
Emperor Her ideas are decidedly
against the encroaching on Chinese ter
ritory of European civilization. 1t is
likely she cannot stay the tide, but she
seems able to check it.

The Alameda Argus" says that from
the East the outcome of the approach
ing election In this State is looked upon
with intense interest by two very diff
and investors. and single tax societies
That is true. In the first case there is
a feeling of distrust and Withholding
of confidence until the verdict is rem
dered. BY the other class there is great
anxiety coupled with high hope that
the single tax doctrine will be indorsed
by the election Of it's foremost living
advocate.

General Woodford in a recent speech
in New York said:
I came here with Commodore Philip
to-day to pay my respects to Joe
Wheeler When that other war was
over, my friend (the speaker turned to
General Wheeler), people were prone
to style that unpleasantness the bloody
chasm." 1t was a mistaken designa-
ton. It was only a ditch, so narrow
that the Rough Riders jumped across
it, and you and / are one. The stars
on your shoulder to-day, my friend, are
the stars of the old flag, and the blue
of your uniform is the flags blue, and
you and I thank God that there is but
one country and one flag.
Has there ever been finer sentiment
with personal directness uttered from
any American platform? 1t burns with
the eloquence of a sincerity and pa
triotism which fire all true hearts, and
make them cling more lovingly to the
flag of our common country. By the
way, General Wheeler is a Democrat;
an unflinching, oldline Democrat,
one from principle. But he has not per-
mitted his partisanship to prompt him
to smite the Administration. On the
contrary he has applauded the course of
the President, the head of the Repub-
lican party, and declared that he ought
to be sustained in his policy growing
out Of the war by the entire nation.
General Wheeler would be out of place
Just now in a Democratic meeting in
California, where every effort is made
to cripple the Administration and visit
it with rebuke through vote of the

In some States and in the Federal Gov

each department being charged in It's

the fact is that Legislature investigated
the office and not only cleared Mr..
Johnston Of all charges preferred

complimented him upon the correctness
of his accounts, the excellence and bus

Quoted strictly to rule and law, and IN

It is very difficult indeed to under
stand how, in the face Of such re-

has been printed broadcast, there are
to be found men and journals still so
lost to self-respect and demands of the
