and, In order to avoid the jam, the
special was run on side track, where
the officials had an opportunity to leave
the train before it entered the depot.
Chief Clerk Michaels, of the state de-
partment, was on hand as representa-

number of officials from the state, war
and navy departments, as well as
friends and relatives, were there to
greet them. AS they stepped from the
train there was general handshaking
and congratulation, and then the party
was escorted to carriages and driven.

THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.

n STATE ticket of exceptional strength and
| I merit having been nominated, the next step
to be taken by the Republican party in pre-
pairing for the coming campaign is that of providing
for the nomination of legislative candidates equally
deserving of popular support. 1t is not to be yell
low dog year in the contest for the Legislature any
more than in that for Governor In the one field as
in the other, good men will win easily, while vicious
men or weak men will be defeated.
The Republican party in California has started out
this year to clean the camp of all corruptng elements
of every kind. Thus far it has done that work we'll
The State Central Committee in adopting regulations
for the election of delegates to the State convention

principal counties of the State, and opened way by
which the rank and file could their preferences

free from the domination of bosses corrupting
porations and the candidates named the standard
bearers of the party are everywhere recognized as
the representatives OF the best elements of citizen
ship, and have the support not only of all loyal Re-
publcans, but of all intelligent independent voters.
The work of party publication which has been so
we'll started should be kept up. The selection of
legislative candidates should be as free from the dom
nation OF bosses or the ntrigues of schemng
porations that of the candidate for Governor
and his colleagues the State ticket. No man
known to be subservent to any such boss or cor
poration who is likely to sell to them after
election can be elected this year. To nominate him
would simply put him up for defeat and to that ex-
tent diminish the sweep of the coming Republican
victory.
The people demand legislators who be counted
on not only elect Republican to the United States
Senate but to perform faithfully, honestly and with
ability the important duties of State legislation

HEARsT's MONUMENTAL ASSURANCE

c EVERAL days ago there seemed to be neces-
sity for asking for an accounting of certain
~ money being collected for Mr. Hearst by
means of a pyrotechnic show. What Hearst may do
as private citizen is his business, but when he
asks the public to patronze his show using the plea
that part OF the profits go to the erection OF
a monument to the of the Maine, the public de-
1nands particulars That the monument if ever reared
will be the glory of Hearst with the valiant dead
OF the Maine secondary or overlooked, is not point
to be discussed here. The chief question to
how much money is being contributed and what
share is to be devoted to the proclaimed purpose
Confidence in the enterprises of Hearst is at rather
low ebb and needs bracing up. There is still lively
recollection of the Charity" baseball tournament,
from which charity fattened in slight degree that
the whole scheme the reputation of being fake
Such it undoubtedly 1t is remembered also
that the beauty of the project has already
been marred by the publicity given to the fact that
solicitors promised per OF all they could
collect of spontaneous offerings Thus Hearst need
not be surprised that when people besought to
attend show in order to raise funds for his pet ad-
vertsing dodge they want to know all about it
There are few interrogatories which might be
projected into the situation, for instance:
What the receipts of the show?
What share is to be applied to the monument?
How much charged for the pages of advertis-
ing the Examiner contained setting forth the beauty
OF the exhibition and the loneliness of paronzing it
Will the cost of this advertising come out of the
monuments share?
OF course these questions might seem to the care
less observer to be interference with personal mat
tiers, but it must not be forgotten that appeal was
made the ground of patriotism, and for purpose
concerning every citizen. 1t is public affair, the
money pertaining to it is public money and the peo-
pie who supply it have right to know what is being
done with it.

STATISTICS OF REGISTRATION.

has been stated that there has been falling off
IN registration OF 10000 throughout the State this
year. In this city the total decrease amounts to
Io,o27. In 1896 1892 citizens voted in San Fran
cisco; in 1898 o2oo5 only have qualified themselves
to vote. 1t is reported that citizens apply every day
to the Registrar for permission to enroll which
makes appear that the early closing of the books
is in part responsible for the local decline It is alb
surd for the law close registration ninety days be-
fore election, but it does So and those who have been
LETT will be compelled to grin and bear it.
How the estimate has been obtained that there is a
falling Oft OF 10000 registrations in the State is not
disclosed In the interior many of the great registers
preserved from year year. and the only manner
in which indifference or apathy manifests itself is
abstenton from voting election day However
few registers destroyed and remade by order of
the Board of Supervisors each year, and in every
county there is natural increase in registrations
Probably the statiscian who promulgated the figures
quoted based his statement upon the loss this city
the losses the counties where the great registers
have been replenished, and the failure of the usual
number of citizens to register throughout the
State
While all this does not indicate that the estimate
is reliable there to believe that it is not far
out of the way The total vote cast in the State in
1896 2o86oI Ii there is falling off in registra-
tons of 10000 and per refrain from voting on
election day. which is the usual thing the total vote
this year will not reach 100000. This is decrease
over 1892, when the total vote cast was 2oo6o8.
1t would be interesting to know exactly how this
decrease is going to affect politics Generally when
party dissatisfied they manifest their dis
pleasure by refusing to register. But this year the
registers closed before either State convention had
met and before the crop of soreheads generated by
both parties in all campaigns had been sown.
Probably of the falling off in this city may
be attributed to the action of the McNab- Gould
Afford syndicate which grabbed the Democratic or
ganization and appointed delegation to the State
convention. There is no doubt that Democrats in
this city generally Disguised at this usurpation
Color is given the idea that the decrease is largely
Democratic by the fact that the heaviest falling off
is observable south OF Market street. which is the
stronghold of that party
But whether Democrats, Populists, mugwumps
cranks have failed to register this year whether
the apparent apathy and indifference due to
headedness disgust whatnot, there is one thing
the Republicans do. They induce all who
have registered to vote The loss election day is
usually per cent This may, by proper effort, be
cut down TO zero, for is notorious fact that Re
publicans apt to overlook the day of cleo
ton than are Democrats

a FIGHT FOR PRINCIPLE.

their revolt against the political bosses who
\ have been using the schools of San Jose and
- OF Santa Clara County as a part of the spoils
which they distribute among their henchmen, the
students OF the San Jose High School have made
themselves prominent factors in the fight going
on all over the United States for the preservation of
the honor dignity and usefulness of our public school
system.
While the revolt of the High School students is
the most notable event of the kind that has occurred
IN Santa Clara County, it is not the first Some time
ago the citizens of the school district at Aviso
compelled to adopt similar tactics to their edu-
cational system from the corruption of politics. A
teacher at Alviso, thoroughly competent for the
work, highly esteemed by the taxpayers and the
parents of the pupils and respected and loved by the
pupils themselves dismissed from his position
in order to make place with salary for one OF the
henchmen of the gang The supporters of the Alviso
school refused to submit. They provided school
of their own retained their old teacher and placed
Alviso record as of the American communi-
ties where the purity of the public school system is
not to be subjected to political bosses
While every good citizen must respect the motives
and admire the frmness displayed at Alvso and now
being displayed at San Jose, it will nevertheless be
noted with regret that such actions are necessary in
any part of California The people taxed to main
tain public schools for the education Of their chill
trustees conduct the schools in such way that self
respecting parents having a proper regard for the
training of their children compelled to go to
further expense to maintain private schools or to
send the children to distant schools in order that their
sons and daughters may be rightly taught and be free
from the debasing influences OF the bosses and their
creatures.
1t has become evident that under the existing con-
ditions it is to be difficult task in any American
community to keep the public schools from becoming
part of the spoils system of politics. The greedy
bosses and their hungry followers are continually cry
ing out for more salaries and the School Department
affords many places for providing them 1t is there
fore gratifying in the extreme the earnestness
with which the better class of Americans are every
where making a fight for the purity of the schools
Just at present this fight in California has its storm
center in San Jose The revolving students and their
parents upholding the principles of American
lie The stand they have taken will be honored
wherever it is known, and in the end victory will be
with it.

Freight,

AT the Belgian freight rate the American railways
would have received $286ooo,ooo than they did
the tonnage of 1897 the English about $780,
900 900 more If American rates for both freight and
passengers the average of European rates, our
railroads last year would have taken from the people
one billion of dollars than they did receive.
With this difference in in favor OF the Amer-
traveller and shipper, the European roads pay to
their labor just half the wages paid by American
roads
We enter no defense of American railway policy,
and do not intend to be alarmed by such accusa-
ton Men are seeking high Office here and elsewhere
by advocating Government ownership OF railways and
are asking votes by telling the people fairy tale
about the economies of such ownership in Europe,
and by telling the truth about American rates and
wages
If figures can be found outside Of party platforms,
to controvert the foregoing, will be pleased to
examine them.
