THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.

1 K o Republican convention for years has seemed
 NJ to more nearly indorse the popular choice than
 in the selection of Henry T. Gage the party
 candidate for Governor. The Call, with its ample
 resources for getting knowledge ot the sentiment abroad among the people, was clearly conscious and we'll informed of the steady drift of sentiment toward the candidacy of Mr. Gage and so announced before the convention met Every argument that could be made on sectional and personal grounds was enlarged and frankly put long in advance, that it might go to the judgment of the people. By them each reason was weighed and balanced against its counter and when so weighed was dismissed as insufficient This process having adjusted the party choice to the nonular preference, the nomination of Mr. Gage came naturally and without trade combination. The gen. tlemen of the field in competition with him for the honor and the hard duty of the candidacy were quick to recognize all this and their prompt appreciation gave to their withdrawal the grace of ready assent and hearty loyalty. Each earned thoroughly the good will and timely rewards of the party
 There is no room for doubt that the impression upon the party and its convention made by Mr. Cages personality and qualities will be transferred to the people of the State by his presence in the canvass and will there, III the convention, command the favor and support of majority In the prime of life for he will not be 6 until after his election with thoroughly trained mind, the architect of his fortunes and so familiar by experience with life's early VClSSudeS as to 1eeI me pncn III the VcS or his fellow men, he is the home and reside candidate of the people
 Believing thoroughly in the principles of his party, he knows the citizens right to administration of public affairs in the interest of all the people, leaving party advantages to follow the strictest recognition of every mans rights under the laws of the common wealth, without regard to his party preference.
 As candidate he is a Republican. He will be the Governor of the whole people, their trustee and the instrument of their wil expressed in the constitu ton and statutes they have made for the protection of their rights of person and property He represents no wild assault institutions, airy plans for de- privng the minority of the inalenabe rights secured to them by system of government, no scheme to destroy representative government and throw the whole body and spirit of the laws protective of per son and property into the scale in each election paign to be changed with the shifting of majorities He stands for that stability of government which is the best safeguard of the interests of all Of his election there is no doubt and that 1t will be recog nized as delivery of the State from policies that would instantly nure all of the great interests of the people goes without saying

DIScoURTEsY TO PATRONS.

N the matter of miseraby inadequate accommoda-
 tions the Southern Pacific always endeavors to ex-
 ce and generally succeeds. The latest llustration so far as known, given yesterday, when speciai train was run from Sacramento to this city, presum- ably for the convenience of delegates and visitors re- turning from the convention. The overland, being belated IS not unusual the special tram LOOK the regulars time leaving the capital at 5Io o'clock It was made up of two Pullmans and six very common coaches, all of them crowded Of course the passen gers had had dinner and expected to secure on dining There such car. There was buffet furnished with coored attendant price list and not morsel of food Hope arose that on the boat at Benica at least lunch could be obtained It was vain hope The wretched little lunch-counter on the boat could not supply much as sandW1ch apiece for in ten of the hungry men who rushed in There seemed desire the part of the people in charge to wait on anybody. Many had to turn away without bite sup They took consolation the fact that the city not far distant, but the endeavor to prolong their discomfort did not abate. When Fatty" Fillmore's minons undertake to do the dsagreeabe, they doubtless acting under or ders and personally cupable, else to have tossed them into the straits would have been simple justice.
 The special was held on the boat until the regular, equipped with dining car and drawing the Southern Pacific directors car, had up. Then the tired and famIshed passengers expected to start on, but again were they befooled by the corporation. The special was still held, while the regular of which it had had lead of half an hour at Sacramento, sent Finally it permitted to trail the drec tors car with its welfed officials and it's passengers, who had had access for hours to westocked diner.
 There was much protest Anong the neglected, weary and abused people the special and had Fill heard the comments freely made the thought of paying attention to patrons might have occurred to him They reached the mole in angry mood justly ir- dgnant at treatment which in its inexcusable bru- tality and seishness was lttle less than barbarous The total run of the famine train from Sacramento occupied almost five hours, startling speed of about eighteen miles hour
 If Fillmore does not know better than to do busi- ness in this way he needs instructions to how to attend to it. These brief instructions advanced only in the feeble faith that they may teach him as start toward reform to mend his manners.

NECESSITY FOR A PRIMARY LAW.

N1 ANY events of the political campaign now in progress have conclusively demonstrated that the great necessity of the State is reform primary election law. Both political parties have felt the need of the purifying influence of such statute, and all the people who have sought represent their parties in State county and district conventions, and who have been turned down. have observed that the radical defect in system is the absence of legal method Of eectng delegates.
 A large number of faithful men in both parties are this year. They not exactly dissatisfied with the nominees of their respective conventions, do they disagree with the platforms which have been framed for their entertainment The trouble with them is that they have been refused opportunity represent their constituents in party convention. Ii they had been deprived of this privilege after fair contest the polls by being outvoted in political club the condition of their tempers would be differ ent. But they have been routed by boss counted out at unfair primary
 It may be- has been stated, that if primary law under which every faction would be guaranteed fair treatment enacted, the people would not go to the polls and vote and that consequently conven- tions would still be and by disputes and ti cuffs But with this argument the State has nothing to do. If primary law passed under which fight" could be conducted with some show of fair ness all for the dissatisfaction which is now felt among the partisans of both political parties would be eliminated. If the people rerained from voting at primary elections they would have only themselves to blame for bad nominations and corrupt government
 It IS probable that the Legislature of 1899 will be Republican, and if 1t is it. should once set to work primary law. The credit of enacting such sys- tenn ought not to be matter of competition among Republicans. The entire party should unite in de- mand for statute under which all factions as we'll the people, may have fair chance to represent their political party in conventions Until such law is passed and enforced a fruitful source of partisan Reorganization and trouble will continue to exist
The San Francisco call., 1898-08-26

H EPEATEDLY it has been stated of late that R President Mckinley is desrous of learning the sentiment of the people concerning the policy the Government should pursue with regard to the Philippines, and that in his eagerness obtain this information he gladly welcomes advice from all sources, communications from all sorts of public bodies letters from private citizens and reports of de- batting societies.
 Whenever this statement is repeated care is taken to add that it is given on "semoffical authority Such carefulness is commendable. Statements of the kind clearly need some authority to rest upon, for otherwise they would be met with incredulity. That the President IS desirous of knowing the drift of pop ular sentiment all political questions is matter of but that he is in any way eager to hear from the muttudinous writers of the country on the sub ject is doubtful. Unless, therefore some authority for the story were given would believe it and the President would get no letters.
 Under the circumstances it is to be regretted that the authority itself is unreliable Since the war with Spain broke out a great deal of information has been given to the public upon semi-ofcia authority and without exception the information has proved to be oeluslve oemi-ottlcial, Tn fact, to be some obscure parsonage whom it would be permissible to describe anonymous cuss" His versatility is enormous, but as for accuracy he is not in it even with the Weather Bureau
 Why he should seek at this time to turn upon the
 te luii loIce oI the writing, advice giving power of all abe-boded citizens in this coun- try, IS not easy to understand Possibly the Presi dent has refused to give him an office and thus raise him to the rank of total official and he is playing to get even, and possibly he is the editor of some Wash lngton newspaper who wishes to turn the tide of communications from "Vertas,'' Taxpayer" and the rest from his own mail to that of the White House
 In any 'semi- official" has not done the sorare thing in this instance either by the country or the President He has started report, out of which there IS likely to great nuisance and if he can be discovered he should be sentenced to mnrieor- ment and the task of reading every letter of advice on the Philippine question that is sent to McKnlev for the rest of his term of office

THE LEPER PROBLEM.

TOR some time past California has not been
 seriously disturbed by the problem of provid- ing place for the care of lepers and the issue has to some extent passed out of the public mind. This due solely the fact that there has not been of recent any case of leper whose con dition was sufficiently extraordinary to excite ment We have had such cases in the past, however, and they likely to again, so 1t would be well to take time by the forelock and make provision for the proper handling of them when they arise.
 It will be remembered that few years ago the sui eide of leper who had been kept isolated in cabin back of Oakland gave rise to movement toward making better provision for the of these unfor tunates. At that time attempt was made to pro- vide for the admission of epers from this country to the Molokai settlement but the effort rendered futile by the opposition of the Hawaiian Government The islands have now been annexed to this country and are under the supervision of Congress. It would seem, therefore, that the project might now be re- newed with good prospects of success
 Past experience renders 1t certain that by of the existence of so many Chinese and Japanese among there will be always more or less leprosy in the United States, and that unless all who in Iected be carefully secluded the dread disease may be- come very widespread indeed The seclusion and proper care of the lepers involves the maintenance of
 leper settlement, and the only question at issue is whether we shall the settlement at Moloka for all lepers that may be found among establish new one.
 At the present time leper finds hardly anywhere in the United States suitable place of secuson. If sent to Molokai he would find himself in munity where he would have companonship, and be saved from the dread loneliness of utter isolation. His condition therefore would be in every way better and moreover the secusion would be complete than can possibly be attained anywhere else
 The site of the Hawaiian eper colony is ideal place for such settlement The climate is mild the country beautiful and the isolation virtually perfect in every respect The lepers confined there are not imprisoned. They have a considerable area over which they may wander at will, and where they can and do cultivate gardens and carry several kinds of industry. With such settlement now under con- trol of Congress it would appear to be simple mat ter of common sense to make 1t place of residence for all epers in the United States or at least for all on this side of the continent It would be well to have such provision made at once so that when the next case of leprosy confronts us we will know ex- actly what to do about it.
