THE FEDERAL Brigade.

THE Federal office-holders who are absent from
their Offices in this city in order to be present in
Sacramento doing politics for Dan Burns are
doing themselves no credit and the national admins
tration no good They are doing harm to the party
whose patronage they enjoy and dishonoring it in
the estimation OF the people whose votes gave 1t the
power 10 give them office.
In so far as any OF them pretend that their presence
in Burns fight indicates the preference OF the Pres
dent, they are insulting the whose commission
they bear The President takes no part in the cleo
ton OF Senator in California, and his own
appointees deserve rebuke Tor placing him in false
position
Because these oice-holders have received appoint
ments and are drawing salaries is why they
should attempt to control the Senatorial choice of the
party and force II to do an uncean thing There is
not decent man in California that does not know
that the election OF Burns will infct injury upon
the Republican party from which it will not recover
for years. What right then, have these to strike
down the hopes which others have invested in future
party success by an which makes such for
long time impossible?
Not only every seli-respecting Republican who has
no wish for public office, but also every such Repub
can who has ambitions that be realized only by
future party victories should say TO these Federal
Office holders that their presence in Sacramento on
such an GRAND Is an ofense an indecency an afront
to the party and an insult TO the State They should
be ordered back their offices to do the duty for
which they are paid and which they neglect to engage
in while cutting their partys throat.
II is limited that Burns has long tipped off on
his several tracks to certain OF these holders,
who in go into his fight for the Senate II this
is it is not only reason why they should be or
dered home but dismissed from their offices or sur
rendered by their bondsmen. While they paying
back their obligation for racing tips the Federal
court in this city engaged in collecting $4,000 from
the suretes OF Welburn who turned the Internal Rev
Office into mixture OF racerack lottery agency
and designation house
This administration should to it that these Of
lenses repeated and that the Federal service
is not dragged in the mre by such methods
These ofice-holders got enough when they got on
the payroll. Let them keep hands off the party
and attend to the duties for which they are paid

ton OF the Democrats is at this uncture directed
mainly toward German, who has fairly good record
on tariff and finance questions but Who nevertheless,
stood with his party in the Bryan campaign. His
colleagues in the Senate strongly in his favor and
he seems to have considerable support throughout
the country.
In recent interview published in the New York
Herald Senator Faulkner of West Virginia, after de-
clarng his opposition to the denomination of Bryan,
said: I have IN my mind whom l regard the
abest leader the Democratic party boast OF to-
day do not care to mention his name but he is
now member of the United States Senate" 1t IS
significant that in quarter does there seem to be
any doubt who was meant by the statement, and
every comment on 1t has been a discussion of the
availability OF German as a Presidential candidate.
The suggestion has not been received with uni
Versal approval even among those who wish a
leader The Nashville American, which itself favors
an abandonment OF the free trade fight for the pres
ent, strangely enough objects to German on the
ground that while he is able good organizer,
man OF brains, he is not in accord with the general
Democratic doctrine of tariff for revenue only
The more serious objections to the suggestion
however, are those based upon Germans record as
the political boss of Maryland His practices there
were so corrupt as to force the better element OF his
own party to revolt against him. That record would
be fatal to him as candidate for the Presidency
However able leader and organizer he may be, he
IS best known to the country machine politician
and he is, moreover without magnetic other popu-
lar qualities He is undoubtedly the first choice OF his
Senatorial colleagues, but the day when a clique Of
Senators could nominate President has gone by
The German boom, therefore, is perhaps much larger
than it will be in 1000

GOVERNOR CAGES BooRIsHNEss.

! II ENRY T. GAGE is now Governor of Cahfor-
/ MIA The position is exalted in station
The incumbent has power to promote good
government, to advance economical methods, and IN
great measure to check the spokesman. He can dis
courage corruption, overthrow abuses. He can
bring to the executive chair dignity, and be an honor
to the place which is an honor to him.
But because such rich opportunities present them
selves there does not follow certainty that they will
be grasped No assurance exists that an individual
will live measurably the ideal Already it is
to be observed with regret that Governor Gage is too
small to bear well the trust imposed. large man
regards himself as chosen to be the servant
OF the people A small man swells to absurd proper
tons and fondly magines that he buges impress
lively Or he can listen 10 the voice OF the scheming
politician and think the mandate OF the party or the
commonwealth. These are errors into which Gage
seems already to have fallen Unless he take steps to
extricate himself at once he will become hopeessy

himself as awful and mighty. On the contrary, he is

There was no reason Tor supposing that Gage would

A BOOM FOR GORMAN.

= result OF the Wilson tariff and the Bryan
| \ campaign for free silver the Democratic party
has been so weakened that when the next Con-
gress meets there will be not single straight Demo-

there be solid Democratic representation from the

that section The conservative branch OF the Govern
will be safely in the hands of Republicans and

Under these circumstances it is natural the Demo-
Gratis should begin to look for a leader who is not
identified with either the free trade or the free silver

theories many are no longer in favor OF making an
other fight for them The Nashville American for
example says: Eve are Democratic from headpiece

to see brick wall when it stands in our pathway"
