1t is always the shout of the "outs"
and the enemies of the Republican
party that in municipal politics Ma
tional issues should not be intruded. In
some cases the claim is sound. But
when the crisis is national when vote
for the party opposing the Government,
and demanding that it shall abandon a
policy approved and ordered by the
Congress of the nation serves to give
aid and comfort to the enemy in arms
against the authority Of the nation,
there is nothing for it but to demand a
verdict upon the national issue. No
matter how much the expression may
be sneered at and secuted, the Rec
ord-Union" reasserts, and with per
fectly clear consciousness of its truth
that a Democratic victory in the Cap

That we may be perfectly just in
judging between the Beers and the
English we should keep in mind that
when the former left their coast pos
sessions before the demand of England,
their proclamation of complaint began:
They" the English, "have deprived us
of our slaves and deny our right to
hold them" Precisely so. While there
is some sympathy to be given the
Beers. it is a fact that they have been
slave owners and are defenders of hu-
man slavery, steadily asserting the
right to enslave black men.

Harcourt, leader Of the opposition
in the English Parliament, on Wednes-
day from his place in the Commons
in the debate on replying to the Queens s
address, asking for support of the army
in Africa, used this language:
I disassociate myself altogether from
responsibility of any kind for the
measures that have led to this war.
though 1 am prepared to support the
Government in the unhappy conflict in
which we are engaged.
Here is an example for American con-
.perheads. The English opponent Of the
policy of the Government voices his
opinion relative to the war against the
Boers-but he distinctly says for the
opposition which he heads, that he and
his party Will stand by the Government
In its fight. They do not demand that
the war shall cease; they do not wisn
the nation's soldiers defeat; they do
not pronounce the enemy representa-
tive OF the right; they do not demand
the hauling down of the flag on the
firing line nor exalt Dom Paul as a
patriot and an angel. On the contrary.
while disagreeing with the policy
adopted the Liberals distinctly say: 1T
is the duty of the House to support the
Government in maintaining the in
tegrity of the Queens dominions."

General Funston made a ringing
speech in Oakland the other night and
the audience made many a ringing
cheer shake the rafters as it applaudsd
his patriotic sentiments. According to
Funston we must keep the Philippines
and there is nothing wrong with the
campaign in Luzon- The wrong is all
on this side of the water in the at
tempts made to cripple the Administra-
tion. It is now as it was in the time
of the civil war, the campaign never
did suit the copperheads at home. The
way they advised and criticised was a
caution. But the battles went on just
the same, the flag did not come down
and the Union was preserved. But
and none will dare deny-had the cam
paign against the Confederates been
conducted as the critics of the oppo-
sition would have had it, peace would
have come only to a discovered and
broken nation, and the American re-
public to-day would be two-headed, a
divided lot of States with small pow
er and less influence upon the earth.

The perfect GOODNESS with which some
people can lie and express the lie in
resolutions, was never more empha-
sized than in the memorial of the cop
perhead conference in Chicago. It's
declarations are from "A" to "zed" a
fabric of misstatement; the conclu-
sion rests upon false premises, and it
makes demands that even the school
boys know to be impossible, unlawful
and which if complied with would make
somebody traitor and deserving the
punishment of such.

The Record Union" lately pointed
out that the weather predictions sent
out by the forecast official of the
United States Weather Bureau at San
Francisco for Northern California
are worthless to the people of this part
Of the Sacramento Valley because they
cover too wide a range of territory in
cluding coast, mountain and valley.
The past two days have given excellent
illustration of this fact. Rain was
predicted for Northern California" on
both days, yet up to last night not a
drop of rain had fallen here, though at
Dunsmuir three inches had been precip-
itated and there had been snow and
rain in the mountains to the north and
east and rain in San Francisco. At
one time predictions were made for
this section separately and they were
Of great value. There is no reason
why they should not be so made now.
AT, present the predictions for North
ern California" are simply ridiculous
when applied to Sacramento.

THE ASSAULT UPON THE CAN
DIDATE.

The assaults upon the Republican
from the obstructive opposition. Tn
able to attack the candidate personally,
or to point out unftness, want of
character or inability to discharge the
high trust to be imposed upon him, the
opposition still struggles mendaciously
to bring voters to the belief that George
H. Clark is a mere puppet, a tool, the
eats paw of ward bosses and political
brokers, and that he will be in their
hands what clay is to the potter at the
wheel
1t will not do. George H. Clark stands
among the first and foremost with and
for his party. He relies upon his
character. builded and fashioned from
childhood in this community; upon his
business ability, evidenced by his sue
cess; upon his faithfulness when he
held minor offices by the vote Of the
people; upon his vigor, manhood, in
tegTfty and cleanliness of life He rep
resents the generation just coming on
to take charge of public affairs. He rep
resents the American idea dominant
among the people that we are a nation
not hedged in by exclusiveness and
timidity, but fitted for and determined
upon taking it's place of right among
the peoples. Of the world.
He is q notable type of the strong
young men of the day coming to the
front. His honesty is unquestioned, his
independence is such that he will be
dominated by no factions, influenced by
no cliques and dictated to by no bosses
He and no one else will be Mayor Of
Sacramento during his term of Office
The convention that nominated him
was thoroughly representative one. 1t
was composed by the vote of the party
at a perfectly free and fair primary
under the law. Mr. Clark represents
progress and economy in municipal ao-
ministration. He Will make a dignffed
but not austere Mayor He will bring
to that office the patience, justice and
business sense that have characterized
his whole life since he stood alone be-
fore the business men of the city. Win
ming esteem and success by his native
ability and sound business judgment.

THEY ARE BLIND.

Los Angeles Express: Ine logic OF
events has proved SO strong against
certain Democratic newspapers that
they have lost what little discretion
they had, and keep jangling away on
the moldered string of criminal ag-
gression." They base long arguments
against the Administration upon the
extraordinary contention that the Unit
ed States has set out to enslave the
people of the Philippines. The glorious
unshackling process started by Adj
miral Dewey, fostered by Congress and
being prosecuted by the President
makes no impression upon their blind
ed vision. They cannot see that the
motive underlying the operations in the
Philippines is to bring a larger measure
of freedom and self government than
the natives have ever dreamed could
fall to their lot. They cannot, or will
not, see the beneficent motive upon
which all our course is grounded, but
return again and again to the attack
on the theory that we are trying to
fasten slavery instead of freedom upon
the unhappy victims of SPANS oppres-

The PILOT has an aversion for
personal abuse in a newspaper
controversy, because it does not
become a gentleman; but when
such cowardly ape and sucking
as he who edits the Dagger
Point" column of the Gunnison
News resC Crts to mud singing
to cover a decidedly vulnerable
argument, then patience ceases to
be virtue. The aforesaid ape
demonstrates by his excrescences
upon decent journalism that his
principal characteristic, aside from
his inherent cowardice, is his filthy,
carrion-fed mind. He tells us that
we are talking about something we
know nothing about; but if he will
disclose himself, we will take great
pleasure in debate with the vul-
turous egotist upon the logic of the
subject. We may be an infant,
but our mind nor manhood are not
in their infant states-hke yours.
Neither do we dine regularly upon
the crow meat diet you do.

1t will suffice to state that Rawalt

gang. His mental standard is too
high for their puny scheming
brains.

Teaching Children to Play!

From the London Globe.
1t is depressing to be told, just when the
days are seriously beginning to draw in,
that children have lost the art of playing
This is the lamentation of a magazine
which finds special audience among peo-
pie who appreciate the joys of domesticity,
and in whose homes there is always an
hour or two devoted to the children when
curtains are drawn and the fire blazes most
merrily. But apparently 1t Is chiefly the
pupils of board schools who have lost the
art of playing games; their sudden and Ca
PRECIOUS racings and shoutings are evidence
of natures incapable of rational and CIV
ilized amusements. The case is cited of a
board school girl who was employed to
play with two children during the absence
of their nurse. She was provided with
toys, balls. battledore and shuttfecock and
in addition. had the possibilities of a large
garden at her disposal. But the GIRL genu-
inely eager to succeed in her task, could
hit upon no other way of amusing her
charges than by making grotesque faces!
1t Is a relief TO learn that some ladies have
concerned themselves with this decadence
of the playing spirit, and that they have
formed themselves into a body for visiting
board school Fairgrounds during recess in
order to teach the children how to nlav.
But the presence of such an organiza ton
in our midst conjures up bewildertne Wis
ions, and one Is terrified by the probable
formation of charitable societies for the
purpose of teaching children how TO smlla
and how to like seed cake An age WHERE
IN boys and girls are taught how to ro,.,n
mas no limits to its hideous possibilities.
