RE
SACRAMENTO'S GREATEST X
PUBLICAN MAJORITY.

It may not have been noticed save py
those who indulge in keeping statlstl-
cal scrap books and memoranda that
Sacramento on Tuesday last gave the
largest Republican majority in all her
history. with a single exception, name
ly. in the Lincoln election of 1864. Thls
is proved by the following data:
In 1861 Sacramento County was he
publican by 42S plurality, in 1868 by
1.6O9 majority, in 1864 by 2,42S ma
1ority. in 1868 by 9S4 majority, in 1871
by 1,OS7 majority, in 1872 by 1918 ma
jority. in 1876 by 1852 majority, in
1879 by 712 majority, in 1880 by S2o
majority, in 1884 by 1,459 majority, in
1856 by 1,013 majority, in 1883 by l,l3o
majority, in 1890 by 933 majority, in
1892 by $50 plurality, in 1894 by 529
plurality, in 1898 by 2,123 majority over
all, and 2,270 over Mcguire.
This record proves that the party,
while fuctuating in its manifestations
of strength in this county, in the late
election rallied the finest majority it
has ever given, with single exception,
and that in the time Of the civil war.

The Careful Servant.

One of the Michigan officers who was
at the front during the brief war had
with him a coaored attendant who was
as proud Of his place as though he were
Commander in Chief, and whose Ideas
of military discipline were as rigid as
those of the veriest martinez. Owing
especially to the thieving proclivities OF
some of the Cuban hangers-on, he was
under strict command not to let any
thing 60 from the officers tent without
a personal order from him.
One evening as the officer and Gen
eral Wheeler met some distance from
the camp, the General said, with g
smack of his lips: IT hear, SIR that you
received some very fine branded
peaches from home"
Eyes, General, they're prime, and Tn
going to send you some. Meantime you
had better stop at my tent on the way
in and have my man give you a can."
When the officer reached his quarters
he was approached by his attendant
with an elaborate salute and: "Did you
tell dat Gen1 Wheelah, sab, dat he
could call heah, sab. and procu' car
oh dem branded peaches, sah?"
''Yes. Of course you gave them te
him.

lutte; mo. sab. I knows my duties, sab

A GROUNDLESS FEAR.

Lord Salisbury at the Lord Mayors
the result of American appearance in
European diplomacy and affairs. He
considers American assertion just now
a grave and serious thing, though in
any event he saw only benefit to Great
Britain.
The Premier's fear, If his expression
is to be so interpreted, is unwarranted.
We may assume safely that he ex-
pressed himself as he did more for the
ear Of European States than for that Of
America. The United States has not
interfered in European politics, and it
has had nothing to do with diplomacy
affecting the European situation.
True, we have had a war with Spain,
and We are in the midst Of negotiations
for the adjustment of the terms of
peace. But what has this to do with
any question relating to the policies
of the States of Europe regarding
strictly European affairs? While some
color might be given to the charge by
reason of our assertion of right to re-
tain the Philippines. really that matter
relates only remotely 10 European col
onization and grasping IN the Orient,
and not to any affairs strictly Euro
pean. When Spain held the Philip
pines her possession seems to have cut
no figure whatever in the issues arising
from time to time concerning the East
ern question, the Nile Valley question,
the occupation of the Soudan, the Gre
tan and Grecian questions, the boun-
daries of British possessions in North
ern India, nor yet concerning the
never settled question of the claims of
Russia along the Afghanistan border.
Since Spanish misrule and tyrannical
domination in the Philippines never
much, if at all, disturbed the current
of European politics. why should the
change to American freedom and toll
erance in the Philippines cause fears
to disturb the monarchs of Europe? Is
1t that they fear the example of Ameri-
ca in the Orient may by Its influence
upon the peoples of European posses
sions abroad, threaten the tenure Of the
holding by European States of their
distant conquested and often hard ruled
distant possessions?
America surely cannot be blamed for
the logical effect Of the morale of her
system upon observing and initiative
people looking forward to possible free
The record-union., 1898-11-12

dom from foreign domination. The
United States has not intermeddled IN
European politics. 1t has no disposl-
tion Of that character. Its people would
resent any such policy. But 1t is de-
manding that in affairs where its inter-
ests are seriously involved it shall not
be counted out of consideration. Our ac-
QUESTION of the Spanish West Indies
Europe has looked forward to these
many years without manifesting any
alarm. Now that the change of pro-
prietorship has been effected 1t is not
easily understood why it should awaken
fears in the European mind.

SPAIN'S RESISTANCE.

Spain will not YIELD" 1t IS reported
from Europe, except to force" Thai
may be, but she will not do much II
any fighting. She will scarcely make
a show of armed resistance. The only
point where there is possible field for
resistance is in the Philippines, and
there all her forces are disarmed, and,
besides, are unpaid and disgruntled.
to the islands, and she has no navy to
do battle on the sea. We are in pos
session of the chief harbors and the
capital, and the insurgents are 10000
strong, intrenched in the interior OF
Luzon. Resistance, therefore, in that
quarter would be simply nominal.
In the West Indies Spain is dispos-
sessed already. Her forces in Cuba are
disorganized in large part, and most OF
her troops are unpaid. She might ere
ate trouble there and operate in isolat-
ed places with the volunteers, but to
do so she must send equipment from
Spain, which is scarcely possible for her
to accomplish.
All in all, therefore, the threatened
Spanish resistance cannot amount to
much. Spain may hope to secure Eu-
ropean assistance, but that is very
problematicaL There is no European
Power now prepared to take up a los
ing cause or to rupture the peace with
America. Threats may be employed,
but even of that we have doubts. But
two nations would probably go to that
extent in helping Spain, namely, Aus
tria and France, but neither will have
sufficient reason for imperilling the re-
lations they now maintain with the
United States.
The record-union., 1898-11-12

tachment. Having lost Cuba, and
knowing that in any case they are GER
tain to lose Manila, they look upon the
whole series of beyond sea island pos
sessions as virtually surrendered. The
Spanish Commissioners at Paris will
doubtless make a great show of hag-
Cling about the Philippines; but it will
only be for the sake of gaining certain
other advantages of detail in the work
ing out of the treaty. II possible, IN
compensation for the Philippines, they
will endeavor to devolve upon Cuba or
this country part of the so-called Gu
ban debt, and they will also try to
make saving stipulations regarding the
vast property holdings of the monastic
orders in the Philippines. But there
remains no considerable body Of public
sentiment in Spain that demands the
retention of sovereign rights over any
portion Of the Philippine Islands The
inevitable has already been accepted

The official summary OF commerce

States Treasury for the nine months

markable figures. We decreased our
imports in that time $113,o0OOOO and
increased our exports 1928, 100000. We
advanced our sales TO Europe from
$56S, ,S05, 900 to $500, 1886, ,539, while our
purchases were cut down from 49,
394, ,9S4 to $24O,8 1868, ia. These are ex-
hibits which testify stronger than the
words Of politicians, the eulogfums OF
orators or the essays of monographists
to the splendid advance the country
is making under the Administration OF
William Mckinley and the policy Of
the Republican party.

A GUBERNATORIAL REBEL.

Governor Tanner of Illinois lately
placed himself in position that is GER
tain to bring him rebuke and regret.
Whatever his sympathies and his ten
derness for age-earners, and all such
worthy sentiments and sensibilities are
matters no one can challenge him for,
he is the sworn Executive of the State,
and bound to execute it's laws. AS such
he knows that he has no power or
right to prohibit the citizens of any
State from entering Illinois for lawful
purposes
When he said that with Gatling guns
he would prevent colored men Of the
South coming into Illinois to seek
work, he assumed the attitude Of a
rebel and a law-breaker. No matter
how unwise it may be for the South
ern negroes to come into Illinois to
work in mines; no matter whether they
are hired for that express purpose
these cut no figure in the question. If
Tanner has the right to shoot down
workers Of the South who come to
Illinois, he has precisely the same right
to shoot down anybody whom he
chooses to- say shall not cross the State
line.
When he held up railroad trains
carrying passengers into his State,
who came under their rights as citi-
zens and inhabitants of the land, he
assumed a power that does not exist
and is indefensible. Section of Arti-
Gle ". of the Constitution of the
United States says: "The citizens Of
each State shall be entitled to all priv
ileges and immunities Of citizens in
the several States" One of these is
his right to travel, to sell his labor in
any market, to work for what and for
whom he chooses.
The same Constitution forbids any
State making or enforcing any law
abridging the privileges or immunities
of the citizens of the United States.
How much less may Governor Tanner
do what the legislative power of his
State cannot do? All questions Of

out Of consideration in this matter.
and the law and the guarantees of the
Constitution for the liberty and free
dom of action of the citizen alone are
to be considered.
If Tanner may suspend these guar
antees as against one lot of men. he
may do it as against any other or
against ALL He has just as much law
full right to say that no Californian, no
Jew, no Catholic, no dissenter, shall
enter Illinois to sell his labor, to wor-
ship according to his religion, or to
dispose of his goods and products. We
are discussing now a simple but most
important question. Concede to Tan
ner the authority he claims, and it
must be granted to all others welding

sonal liberty is destroyed, human free

A War Correspondents Adventure.

Mr.. Knight, the adventurous corre-
spondent of the Times" who got into
Cuba after twenty-four hours INNER
sion in the water, about three months
ago, has just returned from Havana.
Once in the city he was unable TO get
out One Of his most amusing adven-
lures occurred when he was imprisoned
in Fort Morro. before his identity was
fully established. He landed on the
coast in rags. and when he got to the
prison asked that tailor should be
sent to him. The tailor came, but was
not admitted to the cell in which Mr..
Knight was confined. However, he
measured the war correspondent
through the bars of the window, and
next day returned with the garments
cut out and pinned together for the
trying on. This was accomplished with
some difficulty, Mr.. Knight standing
up close to the bars while the tailor did
the fitting. The suit proved to be a

wears it with pride in London.-Bir-
