THE MINING CONVENTION.

I Nth politics out of the way, public attention
\Aj will turn readily and willingly to subjects re-
lating to the industrial and material welfare OF
the State There will be, therefore, cordial and
hearty welcome to the members OF the State Miners
Association when they meet in this city on the 2Is
to hold their annual convention.
The meeting of the association will be one OF more
than ordinary Importance for in addition to the
routine work required it will be necessary this year
to make preparations for the mining display OF the
State at the great exposition at Paris in 1900 1t IS
also probable that some steps will be taken to widen
the membership so to bring the mining men and
mining interests OF the southern part OF the State into
cooperation with the organization.
1t would be difficult to overrate the importance OF
making comprehensive exhibition OF the mining in
dustries and mineral resources of California at Paris
Never at any time in the history OF the world was
there greater amount of capital in the money ceners
available for mining enterprises and such
enterprises regarded with more favor. The demand
for gold is pressing and continuous To obtain it
large sums have been ventured in South Africa and
other large sums have been into the frozen wids
OF Alaska There sound reasons for believing that
California still affords better prospects for gold
mining than any other country the world, and that
if her advantages are fully made known at Paris there
will be large investment of foreign capital in the
work OF developing her hidden resources
The mining f-cfTeStS OF the southern part OF the
State especially need exploiting and exhibition The
miners in that section therefore, should attend the
meeting OF the State association in large numbers
and cooperate in the work 1t will be remembered
that the Mining Exposition held in this city last
winter the rich resources OF the south but very
inadequatey represented and therefore the display
whole not thoroughly representative of the
State The south should make mistake like that
again.
It is TO be noted moreover, that the time is pro-
pitious for the advancement of the movement begun
few years ago to bring about the creation of De
partment OF Mines and Mining in the National Gov
to be presided by secretary OF Cabinet
rank. spirit of progress has been Infused into
the people and the nation a whole is inclined to
favor every movement that tends to the promotion OF
its great industries. IT, therefore, a resoute and
united effort is made at this time the much desired
representation OF the mining interests OF the country
in the Cabinet may be attained

CHAPLAIN McINTYRE'S WOES.

L OR the offense of talking too much Chaplain
Mcintyre of the Oregon, as is widely known,
was dismissed the service. Yet he had toler-
ably good plea to make. He proved that he had not
said all the things attributed to him. that many
papers and even naval attaches had said as much
was charged against him. Moreover he affirmed and
the allegation was not disputed that the of the
Objectionable lecture his physical system had been
keyed up by quinne and rotations OF ginger ale and
sarsaparilla, with redceming tncture of brandy

This was the beginning OF his woe.

time the chaplain has experienced the bounce Her

THE PARTISAN
NON-PARTISANS

Quite number of years ago, when
the times seemed to demand it, several
very respectable old gentleman got to-
gether and appointed number of other
very respectable old gentlemen as dele
gates to an assembly which they chris
tened the Non-Partisan convention.
They probably accomplished some good
at that time, but although the occasion
that called this body into existence has
long Vince passed, these same very re-
spectacle old gentlemen continue to
meet together, and with great pomp
and authority (self-constituted alto
gether) proceed to indorse such candi-
dates who happen to have political
friends strong enough to pull them sue
cessfully through, or tact enough to
escape their censure. They met as
usual this year, modestly avoiding
making any independent nominations,
but with a great show of Importance
indorSing certain candidates who had
already been chosen by the several po-
litical organizations.
AS an evidence of the value of their
Endorsements, / have compiled list
which shows that of the fifty-two can
didates approved by the Non-Partisan
CD convention, eighteen were elected
l find also that of the fifty-two candi-
dates for whom I voted nineteen were
elected, showing that my Endorsement
was worth more than theirs.
Now 1 am an r. o. G.. myself and
naturally take a lively interest in the
good standing of all respectable old
gentlemen. therefore advise the con-
stituent elements of this antediluvian
assembly to henceforth remain at home
and dandle their grand children like
good grandpas, and I earnestly en-
join upon all political aspirants to shun
this combination if they have any hope
in the future. Yours truly,

A VALUABLE LESSON.

THERE is one lesson OF the late campaign which
should be thoroughly mastered by the managers
i of the local Republican party. 1t is simply that
under the new ballot system it will always be easy to
carry an election by nominating hrst-ciass ticket
Per contra it will never be difficult to lose when
list OF unknown weak unpopular candidates are
presented to the people.
Heretofore it has been the custom OF the local con-
vcntons of both parties to consider everything in con-
necton with candidate except the single question
whether he can be elected; that is, whether his
personal popularity reputation for ability and char
acter and his circle OF acquaintance sufficient to
insure his success. The Democrats learned the les
son first and in the past two or three campaigns they
have beaten the Republicans. But the moment the
latter brought out their best they swept the city
1t ought not to be difficult for them to perceive there
fore that one great OF political strength in
these days consists in the personality OF the candi-
dates.
San Francisco is usually accounted Democratic
city Its record shows that when united the voters OF
that party may easily elect their nominees and enforce
whatever municipal policy they may adopt. Hence
q great part of the victory won Tuesdays election
by the Republicans may be attributed to the weakness
c. the Phelan McNab ticket The test applied by the
Committee of One Hundred to candidates was not
whether they were popular and could be elected, but
whether they were personally agreeable to Phean and
McNab, and whether they would, II elected give
those gentlemen their patronage
The result shows that under the system OF
voting even Democratic majorities will not an
organization which thus violates fundamental prin-
cipe of practical politics. Mayor Phelan entirely
Inexperienced the sources OF political success. The

quarrel among the factions misled him to his ruin.

ticket composed of his personal friends and guarantee
