Why a Senator Is Needed.

F,rom the Stockton independently
Of all the States of the American
Union California can least afford to re-
main short of full representation in
the Fifty sixth Congress. All the great
questions, practically, that come up for
consideration and action by this Con-
gress are questions in which this State
has a vital interest. No other part
of the world is more directly concerned
in the problems growing out Of the
Philippine acquisition. In the char
acter of the Hawaiian Government it
is more deeply concerned than any
other community except Hawaii itself.
1t is anxious for stable government
there, for proper trade regulations, for
just labor laws, for postal service and
other regulations to promote develop
ment, industry and trade.
California is vitality interested In
some provision for territorial govern
ment in Alaska More California citi-
zens and California capital have gone
into Alaska than from any other
State The fur sealing industry, the
salmon industry and the mining in
dustry Of Alaska were all developed
by California people and the commerce
of Alaska is a commerce with
San Francisco It is to the in
terest of California and her people that
Alaska be provided with a system of
self government that will promote in
vestment, enterprise, safety to life and
property and facilitate the transaction
of business.
California is vitality interested in the
early construction of a Pacific cable,
of the Nicaragua canal, of storage res
ervoirs for flood waters, of public
buildings in which to transact the bus
mess of the Federal Government. These
questions all call for full representa-
ton in the Senate and two votes there
instead of one. The House delegation
from this State. is mostly an inexper-
fenced delegation. Loud is the only
member who has served long enough
to entitled him to a. position in the
makeup of important committees. In
the House influence all comes from PC
sition on committees for there is where
the work is done Our weakness i'll
this respect calls all the more urgently
for the selection of another Senator to
serve in the upper House of Congress,
where votes count and where no COM
mittee can dictate a policy.
These are the considerations that are
influencing Republicans all over the
State to demand the filling of the Sem
atorial vacancy by the only means that
it can be filled for the full terribly
calling an extra session of the Legisla-
ture

Mr.. Gompers tells the convention over
which he presfdes that the Idaho strike
riots failed because the Miners Union
were not affiliated. They needed the
support and countenance of associate
bodies. Mr.. Gompers, in his radical en-
thusiasm, forgets or ignores, however,
all the questions OF right in the prem
ises. He does not for a moment in
quire whether the rioters were justified
He notes their failure, nothing more.
It seems to US that the first thing to
take account of in such matters is the
question of human right. 1t by no
means follows that because a strike is
on, therefore it is and of necessity
must be found in right, and that what
ever is done in it's promotion is COM
mendable. The citizens and courts Of
Idaho have decided that the strike riot
was wrong. was criminal, was tres

the rioters in every Individual right

THE RIGHT TO REGULATE.

The San Francisco "Argonaut" warns
the country that if we retain the Phil
ippines they will become a part of the
United States, and therefore the Fill
Pine will have the same right as any
other person under our jurisdiction to
come and go in the country where he
pleases, invade the ranks Of labor and
play the mischief generally.
There are two effectual answers to
this. First the Malay does not love
work and the Filipino will never thrive
outside an Oriental atmosphere. Sec
ond, the power to expand the territory
Of the nation is not only inherent, but
is expressly given in the Constitution.
and the judicial Interpretation to that
effect has been uniform and frequent;
the right to acquire carries the right
to govern and control, and Story and
the Supreme Court years ago so held
and it has never been denied.
These primary attributes of sover-
eighty, confirmed by the Constitution,
and SO decided in numerous cases by
the chief tribunal Of the land during the
century, carry all the Incidents of such
assertion-we may sell or lease, we
may prescribe any rules of action con-
sistent with these rights and powers,
since as Justice Bradley we'll said in
1876 U. S., AZ, the power Of Congress in
the premises is general and plenaTy,
hence we may determine whether the
inhabitants of such territory may move
into or pass through States and Terri
tories, and all such rules and regula-
tons are obligatory upon them
The commentaries by jurists and the
decisions Of the courts upon these
points are uniform and multitudinous.
There is no graver error made in de-
bate concerning these matters than
that which claims that every new pos
session or acquisition of the nation is
at once indellibly stamped with the
right of Statehood. All historic Incl
dents, all the leading decisions from the
time of Chief Justice Marshal to this,
all the conclusions of eminent expo
nents of the Constitution and Of the
attributes Of national sovereignty from
the earliest days to this time are one
on these points.
The conclusion Of the "Arognaut,"
that against such an invasion as it
fears the nation must guard, and that
the Republican party, while dominant
must protect the nation from it, may
be conceded, and amounts to concur
renee with the views last above ex-
pressed relative to the power of the ma
ton to regulate its possessions.

The Grass Valley Union" with
singular inconsistency, agrees that the
Presidents message is clear and ra-
tional about the establishment Of Cuban
independence and the putting of Gu
bans on their feet as a sovereign power,
"but"-and here comes in the exhibition
of stupidity because the President
names no time for the new order of
things going into operation he disap-
points the people and is derelict of duty
for which he is worthy of condemnation.
Was there ever such witless conclu-
sion? The President has no power to
name a time. Congress alone must be
the judge when conditions are such as
to warrant withdrawal of the protect
that the President, as head of the
army and navy. may determine when
the Cubans are prepared to stand
alone, how in the name of reason could
he fix date? In the very nature of
things, the contamination wished for
must be dependent upon the action of
the Cubans themselves, and the rapid
ity with which they demonstrate their
capacity to take rank as a nation in
dependent and sovereign, with intel
ligence and ability to fulfill the obliga-
tons and maintain the responsibilities
of nation. 1t was sufficient for the
President to declare the policy the
United States should pursue in the
premises, and to express the hope that
the end will be speedily reached, and
that we should do all that may be
properly done to hasten it.

RAISE THE FLAG TO-DAY.

One hundred years ago to-day Cen
eral George Washington died. and the
nations of the earth joined with
America in her lamentation. 1t is pro-
posed that the centennial of that event
shall be observed to-day with appro-
pirate ceremonies. At the National
Capital these will be Of an elaborate
character. 1t is not a. celebration day,
but memorial one. Manifestations on
account of it, therefore, are to be of
purely patriotic memorial character
Here at least we can teach our children
anew to revere the memory of Wash
ington by raising the flag he fought for
to half-mast, in memory of the hero,
the patriot and the statesman. Wher-
ever there are facilities for display OF
the National Banner. it should be done

So far as it has been possible to as
certain the trend of public sentiment,
it is largely in favor of call for an
immediate session of the Legislature
for the election of United States Sem
ator. on the ground that California, of
all States in the Union, can least af-
ford to have a vacant seat in the Sem
ate in this crisis of National affairs
Republicans especially realize that It
is political suicide to permit the chair
to remain empty. California has too
many interests at stake to forfeit .
single vote in the National Legislature.

Main Line Switches.

We recently cav wreck which
seems almost inexcusable, and which,
it is safe to say. will not happen again
at that point. For convenience in
shifting, there WIS direct cross-over
track from one main Inc to another, SO
that train coming down the main
line could be run over on the up track
If the switch happened to be wrong.
This was exactly what happened:
The cross-over mad been opened to al
low some shifting, and was not closed
before the train came down the main
line. To make matters worse. 1t was
common hand switch, was rot cOntroll-
ed from the signal and had no distance
signal, only a small home signal quite
near the switch, This is the part for
which the seems to be no excuse.
for it is bad enough to have direct
cross-over, even If onnected to tower
and signals.
While it may be little inconvenient
at times, it is decidedly safer on main
lines to have ell cross-over switches
run backward, so that train going in
its proper direction on either track
mot cross to the other track, even
with the switch open. This can readi-
ly be done by having the switches so
arranged that it is necessary to pass
the switch, back over on the other
track, and then proceed as before. This
isn't advocated for yards or side track;
but for main lines it is q necessity when
safety is considered Locomotive En-
cheering.

THE ODDS AGAINST Them.
The False Work DoWned The Rail-
road Vote-TOo Much Money
Against Them.

THE spell is past, the CLEAN is DER.
Money triumphed and many are sore y
The much talked of struggle for
supremacy with the railroad boys is
ended. They have lost and must for
the next two years submit to the same
treatment they Rave been subject to
for the past two years.
The illiterate force against them was
by far too strong and an overwhelming
defeat was the result. Every appeal
to the city officials from the railroad
meu has faded like dream and what
has been accomplished in every effort
advanced by this honorable element
has been realized by their own money
and labor.
Yesterday the fifth ward.i7 which is
known as 'Juarez" predominated with
the assistance of two leaders in whom
was placed implicit confidence The
disgraceful termination of yesterday s
contest reflects in no way on the losing
side. They fought an honorable fight
against great odds and retired early
last night feeling that they were de-
feated by the power of money against
them.
