The determination Of Speaker Reed
to withdraw from. public life has
brought forth the names of number
of prominent members of the house of
representatives, who, may, become can
didates for the speakership; a position,
by the way, which is next in power to
that of the chief Smagistracy of the re-
public.
Serene E. Payne, of New. York, is
logically a candidate, because he has
been continuously a member of The
house for 16 years. He, is at the head of
the committee on ways and means, and
is naturally regarded as the leader of
his party. James S. Sherman, also of
New York, is q much, younger man, and
has been member Of the house for ten
years. Either one of these gentlemen,
if selected by the eastern members of
the dominant party, might prove to be
SUCCESSFUL; J.. and either. one of them
would be good presiding officer.
The western men have caucus ma
jority, if they can unite upon candi-
date. Ohio will probably not present
candidate, because the president halls
from that state. Indiana has no candi7
date, because none of her representa-
tives has been in public life long enough
to become a national character. The
states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa and Nebraska have no man who
has been member of the house long
enough to claim recognition in speak
ership contest, excepting Wisconsin,
which might present the name of Con-
gresham Babcocl, but for the fact that
he declined to be candidate.
Illinois has two good men, either one
of whom would make good presiding

of people, and + ere on the Pacific coast
is an extensive unoccupied country,
where cheap labor is needed to afford
competition with the eastern states. A
half a century ago we ''battered down
TIC walls of China,' according to our
national boast, and opened her ports
to our commerce. Within the next
quarter of century zoe, 900 Chinese la
9orers had entered the United States.
Then we began to understand what the
awakening of these people would ulti-
mately lead to. We had opened the
wa.r for an exodus from that over
GRO wded land where laborers received
but four or five dollars per month.
We saw that at this rate we Should soon
be ''Chinese-ized," or overrun by them
as was Europe by the Goths and Van
dals.. Then we began to close the door
we had forcibly opened, and erect an
anti Chinese wall, The exclusion law
has reduced immigration, but it has not
stopped it, and will not. Cheap labor
is needed in a country where labor is
scarce, and capital will find a way to
get that labor. Without the Chinese
the Pacific railroad could not have been
built so soon, for, there were not enough
laborers in the west, and it was much
cheaper to get 10000 men from China
than from eastern cities. This was the
introduction of Chinese cheap labor in
the United States, and soon other CAPT
talists followed the example.
It is estimated that in the construc-
ton of the railroads and in the recla-
nation Of swamp lands (the latter be-
ing work which white men would not
do) the Chinese have added $500, 00O, 900
to the wealth Of the state. It is also
estimated by the capitalists that with
in the last quarter of a century the
Chinese have created at least one-third
Of the material wealth of the state.
Agitators have claimed that the Chi
nese .send the money out Of the coun-
try Admitting that they do, they
cannot send the labor sway-it re-

nomination with majority of ten. If
she can carry her own vote solid and Sc
cure five votes from either the southern
contingent or from Ohio she can be
successful. ~
It will be seen that if mere personal
considerations do not outweigh the gen
eral geographical political considera-
tions the speaker of the Fifty-sixth
congress is very likely to come from
west of the Allegheny mountains. At
the organization of the Fifty-fourth
and Fifty-ffth congresses the east had
a majority of the votes, and they were
able not only to nominate Mr.. Reed,
from the extreme northeastern coun-
try, but they were able to locate the
two great Offices of clerk of the house
and doorkeeper of the house, involving
three-fourths of the patronage, all east
of the Alleghenies. The western men
say that the star of republican political
power is moving their way, and it is a
good dealFto ask Of them that they shall
yield the speakership toa man who is
outranked in years of service in the
house by not fewer than seven or eight
distinguished representatives from the
vastst erritoryi west of the Alleghenies.
But, after all, the maj ority party will
be wiseaifit selects the man whoais pos
sessed of greatest ability, regardless OF
his geographical, location. Tom Reed
is big man whether he is in Maine,
New York Washington, London, Ber-
lin or anywhere else on the face of the
earth. 1t is to be hoped that the house
may have q good, strong presiding Off.
Ger, no matter where he may reside.

officer: Congressman Hopkins, of Au-
rora, is leading member of the COM
mittee on ways and means. He has
often presided over the house when in
committee of the whole, and in that
position has manifested great parlia-
mentary skill. = Congressman Cannon,
of Danville, has long been a national
character. He has three times been
chairman of the committee on appro-
pria lions. :Itxwas he who introduced
the famous bill appropriating $4,000,
600 -to be used at the discretion of the
president ''for national Defense" He
is personally popular and known to be
ruggedly honest. He is a very impetu-
Gus man, and might better retain his
Craftsmanship than to secure the speak
ership.
Longest in service, and exceptionally
popular with public men, is Col. David
B. Henderson, of Dubuque, Ia. If the
west should unite in supporting him,
his selection would be acceptable to all
the leading Representatives of the west
.ern states. He has been a member of
years, and is perfectly familiar. with
the practices and precendents OF: the
house of representatives. He has been
chairman of the committee on judiciary
for four years. He was acting chairman
of the committee on appropriations for
some time. He is an able debater and an
eloquent orator. Xix
Either one of these gentlemen pos
sesses sufficient ability and experience
to fill the Important position. Either
one of them would prove to be accepta-
BILE to his party, and would reflect credit
upon, his supporters. Neither one of
them would make record for assuming
autocratic power; for neither one of
them has advocated the exercise of such
power by Speaker Reed. Neither one Of
them possesses the autocratic DISPOSE
ton which has actuated the strong and

THE KAISER.
San Jose Mercury: There will be no
trouble with Germany unless the Kali
ser takes the initiative. Should he do
so, the challenge would be promptly
accepted, and there would be general
combustion, involving both hemi-
spheres. The Kaiser, if left to him
self, is crazy enough to set a match to
the magazine, but, fortunately. the
German people are too intelligent and
feel too friendly toward the American
nation to countenance any such recK-
less proceeding.
NOTICE OF CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENTS.
Red Bluff News: The new system.
while seeming to give amendments
wide distribution, is almost equivalent
to no publication at all since the voter
will be kept in ignorance of the amend
ments until few days before the cleo
ton and will have very little time to
discuss and digest them before going
to the polls. Many will never read
them and will know nothing about tn EN-
at all. When given wide publicity
through the columns Of the press they
appear day by day before the eyes OF
the reader for months and their merits
and dement's are pointed out by the
press and public speakers, but the new
law does not even provide for copies
to be sent to the press for information
and comment. We predict now that
every amendment proposed to the Con-
stitution, good or bad, while the pres
ent law is in force, will be killed. Peo-
pie will not take any chances of max
ing mistakes in so important matter.
INFAMOUS ASSAULTS ON GEN.
SKATER.
Los Angeles Times: The newspaper
attacks which have been made of late
upon General w. r. Shafter are infam-
Gus, puerile, unwarranted, cruel, and
contemplate in the last degree. He
has been represented as claiming all
the credit for the victory at Santiago.
and one paper has the impudence to
refer to this brave and patriotic officer
as ''the modern Falstaff, who claims to
be the hero of Santiago"
AS a matter Of fact, General Shafter
has claimed no more credit than is
justly his due. Like all truly brave
men, he is modest as we'll and is not
given to boasting. In his remarks at
the Chamber of Commerce banquet, in
this city on Wednesday evening, Cen
eral Shafter observed in effect, that if
the campaign against Santiago had
been a failure, he would have been
obliged to bear the blame; and that,
conversely, as the campaign was a
brilliant success, he, as the command
ing officer in that campaign. should be
entitled to the credit due to the position
of great responsibility which he was
called upon to fill.
How can any reasonable person dis
pute this proposition? In making the
statement which he made. General
Shafter merely gave utterance to a self
evident truth.

VOICE FROM THE SOUTH.
General Demand for the Election
Of Senator.

From the Santa Monica Outlook.)
Republicans in and out of the Legis-
lature, are unit in the belief that 1t
will be very serious blow to the party
to adjourn without electing a Senator.
1t was this feeling that prompted the
almost unanimous signing of the call
for conference, and there appears to
be determination on the part of the
members to elect a United States SEN
ator before retiring to their homes
1t is gratifying in a great degree to
know this, as it is imperative that Cali
fornia should be represented in the
National Senate. by two Republican
voters. These are critical days for
the national Administration, and such
days are liable to continue for some
| months, perhaps years, and California
cannot afford to throw any stumbling
block in the way. Therefore a man
who will at all times back up the Ad-
ministration is demanded by the rank
and file of the Republican party of this
great State. and the Republicans of the
| Legislature have it in their power to
| elect such man. But their time is
short, and rapid steps must be made.
| And it is believed they will make them
! in due time.

Of a committee, struck this allowance
out of Assembly bill 5, which was in

The Los Angeles Express" which
has been the warm advocate Of one Of
the Senatorial candidates, says that it
is becoming evident that a dog-in-the-
manager purpose is entertained by a
number of members of the dominant
party in the Legislature regarding the
deadlock 1t fears that it is the in
tention to force deadlock to the close
of the session. and thus deprive the
State of representation to its full
measure in the United States Senate.
For any such unhappy outcome it de-
clares that the people will hold the
legislators as we'll as the candidates
who sustain such a policy to response
bility.

The whole question concerning the
deadlock and the caucus proposition
has been threshed over. There are ap-
solutely no new considerations to be
advanced in the debate. 1t has come
down to the simple question whether
Republicans will adopt their traditional
party methods of breaking the dead
lock, or commit themselves to the am
billions and selfish desires Of partisans
of this, that or the other candidate.
What the people demand all over the
State is an election, the filling or the
seat in the Senate about to be vacated
by Senator White. California went Re-
publican on the proposition, for one
thing, that the administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley should be sustained. II
was a square issue before the people
whether his policy regarding the late
war, the finances and the revenue sys-
tenn should be maintained, approved
and commended, or overthroWn and re-
buked. To fail to elect a Senator,
therefore, means 10 deprive the party
of one vote in the Senate, vote that
may be the turning point in the for
nation, maintenance or destruction OF
a national policy fashioned upon Re-
publican lines As the Alameda En-
cinal" we'll says, what the opposition
desires, it is wise for Republicans to
GROSS and CONTEST and the desire OF
the observation-disclosures Populist
and otherwise-is to have an election
fail. and, hence, they are not only
pleased with, but do all they may to
have the deadlock continue and an cleo
ton fail.

Recent dispatches related that the
insurgents in the Philippines have
stated that they have information that
very soon the United States will treat
with them, owing to the pressure of
public opinion in sympathy with the
Filipinos. That is probably just what
the insurgents think. They have been
Istudiously and constantly supplied with
just such information by the so-called
anti-expansionists of the United States.
