CURRENT COMMENT.


Discussing the Nicaragua canal the Chi
cago Times-Herald Qnd) says: 1T is
highly improbable that the next Congress
will definitely determine upon canal plan
until IL has very carefully considered the
status of the Panama enterprise. To COM
pletely ignore a water way that has been
completed for fifteen miles and is already
navigable for ten miles, upon which mil
lions of dollars have been expended, would
be indefensible folly The canal question
is now greatly simplified, and the next
Congress should take it up and consider 1t
solely upon the basis of government owner
ship and control, with no alliance with cor
porations."
The Philadelphia Record Dem.) says:
More taxes-on railroad tickets, on food
products, on liquors and on AL the null
hilarious articles included in the schedules
of the war revenue law-such is the chief
topic of consideration in administrative
circles at the national capital. The huge
bills which must be annually paid under
the haul-nothing- down policy of the Re
pu blican leaders can only be met by pill
ing on fresh burdens of federal taxation.
The people may squeal in sore distress;
but they must pay"
The Terre Haute Gazette Dem) thus
touches upon our Philippine policy: "It is
really very perverse of those Filipinos to
object to our benevolent mastershp Our
purposes are purely philanthropic and
commercial. We want them to love "old
glory" We desire to civiiize the Fiipinos,
teach them to want things and then supply
those wants. We desire to shame them
into wearing more clothes, climate or no
climate, and then sell them the clothes

One of Mr.. Garland's peculiarities was an
intense hatred of doctors. He used to say
that until he broke his leg he had never
paid a Doctors bif or spent cent for
medicine for himself; that the medical pro-
fession was a humbug; that no man was
i'll unless he abused himself, and that he
could be cured by correcting that abuse.
But while he was attorney general he was
afflicted by swelling of the jaws. He got
a notion that he had been poisoned in
some manner and his associates persuaded
him to go to doctor. The physician look
ed him over and remarked:
There is nothing serious the matter
with you. You have only a mild case of
mumps."
H, mumps'' exclaimed Mr. Garland
in a rage; "I'N be BANKED if you know the
difference between humps and cholera in
fantum."
He stamped out of the Office in indigna-
ton, but by the advice of friends re-
manned in the house two or three days to
avoid catching cold until the swelling had
gone down.

Two Garland Stories.

when Mr.. Garland was attorney gen.
eral,' said one of the long-service clerks
of the department of justice to a Wash
ingtOn Post man, "he had a long and
continuous performance series of com
plants from lot Of New York mer-
chants on the subject of the debts of a
young lawyer from the big town, who
was employed in the department. Mr.
Garland was not a believer in the system
of exacting the payment of private debts
by government employees by the use OF
the official thumbscrew, and he made IL
a point TO decline to receive personal
complaints of this sort while he was in
office. But the letters of the New York
creditors of this young man became so
petuiant and threatening that the attor-
ney general finally sent for the debtor to
ask him If he was making any effort to
settle.
Young man. said the attorney gem
eral when the subject of the complaints
entered his Office, just read over a few
of these letters, will you, and then tell
me If you think it's pleasant for me to
have my mail burdened with such eff
fusions?
oh, creditors letters, I suppose re-
piled the young man, coolly. What do
they suppose you've got to do with my
debts, sir?'
L have been endeavoring to arrive
at some answer to that question myself
replied Mr. Garland. Their desire IS,
however, to have me put it to you that
you've either got to pay these debts or
be discharged from the government en-
ploy.'
That's nice of them, I'm sure, sir" re-
piled the youth from New York. Then 1
suppose I'm to be fired?"
Suppose you just doff your f1ppant
manner" said the attorney general, Sc
verely, land tell me about these debts.
Are they all straight?
Straight as a string, SIR replied the
young man, frankly. I contracted them
at period when was industriously en-
gagged in playing the races, poker and the
devil, and I've never been able to get my
head above water since, although I've been
blowing in $1,000 out of my yearly $500 in
a vain attempt to square UP with these
people ever since got this job in the de-
partment of justice"
The attorney general looked the young
fel.ow over.
well do the best you can, my boy.
he said, and three days later the young
New Yorker was promoted to a $500 posi-
ton. His New York creditors probably still
preserve the red-hot letters which Mr..
Garland wrote them in reply to their vio-
lent demands for the thumb-screwing of
the young man."

Gage a Typical Governor.
(Humboldt Standard.o


Governor Gage may not be right on
all questions that come before him for
solution, but he is redeeming his
pledges to the people to be Governor
with no strings upon him by any cor
poration or power on earth, save
his own sense of justice and honor.
His vigorous language in vetoing Acts
which conflict with what he considers
the best interests of the State COM
mend him to honest men. 1t has been
many a year since California had so
vigorous, independent and able a man in
the Executive chair. If Gage shall con-
expectations of the party that non-
mated him and the men who voted for
him.
One thing is evident already: While
he is approachable by the poorest man
in the State; while he will listen re-
specially to the arguments and claims
of any man who prefers a petition to
him, he is absolutely fearless and indie
pendent The man who approaches
Gage with improper motives or tries to
hold out an unwarrantabie inducement
for any purpose whatever, will go from
his presence a sadder but a wiser man.
From what he has already done i'll
the line of vetoing Acts of the Legis-
lature, we may be sure that bills which
contain jokers and bugs" will not es-
cape his attention Legislation, so far
as Governor Gage can make it so, must
be clean, honest and economical Such
an Executive is an honor to any State.

to caucus? Grants friends are ais
stubborn as are the followers Of Burns.
They, with the men voting for General
Barnes, can control any caucus, If they
so decide, and it would be much more
in keeping with their party obligations
to pool their issues and go into an open
caucus, by which Burns agrees to be
bound, than to drag this contest on to-
the bitter end and then go home like
a parcel of school-boys and admit that
they we're afraid of themselves and did
not dare to settle the question, as party
questions should always be settled, by
the rule OF the majority. If every lead
ing candidate would now release his
followers from further obligations and
an open caucus of the party in the
Legislature were held, it would take
but a short time to settle the question
by nominating an able, efficient and
honorable man for the position. Such
a caucus is the only solution of the
problem. The q votes governed by D.
NJ. Burns can prolong the deadlock to
the end. They say they will do SO I'M
less q caucus be held. The standard
does not commend this action on the
part Of Burns and his friends; yet it is
not whit worse than the attitude as
stunned by the Grant men. Neither
seem inclined to yield and both should
be compelled to submit to the decision
OF the majority Do our Legislators
think they will be applauded when they
return to their constituents and say:
1--WE could not elect our man and we
would not allow any other man to be
chosen?" Such conduct sets the party
at defiance and is in utter disregard OF
every obligation they owe to the men
who elected them.
Republican members of the California
Legislature, give us Senator before
you adjourn. Your constituents de-
mand this at your hands They will be
satisfied with no other result What to
them is Grant, or Burns, or Barnes, or
any other man who aspires to be SEN
ator, compared with their right to be
represented in the United States Senate
by a Republican, whose counsel and
assistance are so necessary to President
Mckinley? We voted to sustain the
President in the Senate, and woe to our
legislators if they defraud us and be-
tray their party by failure to elect
a Senator, who will stand by the Presi-
dent in the trying times that are to
come, and help to develop Pacific Coast
industries by voting for the Nicaragua
Canal and all other measures calcu-
lated 10 benefit our people and preserve
the grandeur and dignity of our coun-
try and the liberties of her people.

BANKING WITH TAXPAYERS
MONEY.

One section of the county government
bill now before the Legislature gives
authority for placing in private banks
the funds Of the County Treasury. 1t
is true that there are thrown about the
provision apparent safeguards, as, for
instance, these general deposits" for
safe keeping" as the bill describes
them, are to be secured by a bond
given by the surety company, which
security is to be approved by the Su-
perior Judge; and, moreover, it is to be
given for double the sum likely" at
any time to be SO deposited for safe
keeping
The whole proposition is wrong, for
one clear, persistent and irresistible
reason, namely, it is a plan whereby
private banking institutions will be an
abled to do business upon the money
of the taxpayers without paying for
the accommodation, and that, by the
way, is very mild term to use. It is

The Deadly Trolley in Egypt.

In the first four weeks after the open
ing of the electric railroad at Cairo,
Egypt, it is said that no less than
eighty persons were killed, and since
that time the weekly average of VIC
tins is seven or eight. This very high
rate of casualties is supposed to be
due in part to the imperfect sight Of
many natives in consequence of the
prevalent eye diseases, but fully as
much is due perhaps to the fact that
they are unfamiliar with such swift
moving vehicles.

1t may not be too late to remind the
legislators. now at Sacramento, chosen
by Republican votes to represent Re
publican principles, that their constitu-
ents expect them to elect a Republican
to the office of United State Senator
made vacant last Saturday by expira-
ton Of the six years term Of Stephen M.
White. This Legislature must elect, or
California will have but one Senator
until the next Legislature shall as
selnble and elect one. The Governor
cannot appoint a Senator when the
Legislature fails to elect one, and the
seat must remain vacant. The case
from Oregon, recently decided by the
United States Senate, disposes OF that
question. If the Legislature elect
Senator and he become inca FACILITATED,
by any means. to act; If he die or re-
sign, the Governor has the power to fill
the vacancy until the Legislature next
assemblies and has the opportunity to
fill the vacancy by an election; but In
no ether case can the Governor appoint
United States Senator.
The eighty-six Republicans OF the
California Legislature are under SOL
emn obligation to their constituents to
elect Senator. They have no right to
allow Grant, or Burns, or Barnes, or
any other man to stand in the way OF
such an election They were elected to
choose a Republican to fill the place In
the United States Senate recently made
vacant by the expiration OF Senator
Whites term Of office. Will they prove
|recreant to duty? VIII they stubbornly
insist or voting for Burns, or Grant, or
other men ambitious to fill the Sena-
torial seat, until the Legislature shall
adjourn without election? They VIII
