In Nobody's Especial Interest.
(From the Alameda Encinaio

(F'rom the Alameda Encinai.)
The "Encinal wants it distinctly
understood that when, in common with
most of the other interior Republican
papers, it demands that the representa-
tives Of the Republican party at Sacra-
mento get together and decide to sub
NIT to the will of the majority, it does
not urge this in favor of any especial
candidate or any man who is not now a
candidate. This is the same position
that is taken by the other papers in
this matter. We do not know Of one
Which is trying to advance it's personal
preferences. In fact, there are many
who are advocating such a step when
they know that it means defeat to the
candidate of their personal choice.
But they are too broad minded to pre-
fer injury to the party to the abandon
ment Of personal desire, and for this
reason they unite in the demand that
the majority shall rule, and as the first
step in carrying out this Republican
principle they demand that the only
movement known in the party organ
ization for determining the will of the
party shall be made-that is, that the
Republicans shall get together and de-
eide upon some one candidate. This is
the time-honored method, and the only
method.
Besides being suicidal to neglect to
elect a Senator at this session of the
Legislature, and practically giving the
position to the Democrats, who will as
suredly elect the next Legislature il
the Republicans do not do their duty
in the II ic fair the
national leaders to inject a Senatorial
contest into the Presidential campaign
of 1900. Under normal conditions there
will not be another Senatorial cam
paign until 1902, when Senator Per-
kins' successor will be chosen, and the
Republicans owe it to the national
Administration, to the party as
whole, and to the party in this State, to
leave the field entirely clear in 1900 for
a Presidential campaign upon national
issues, with no Senatorial fight to COM
plicate matters and perhaps divide the
party SO as to produce defeat.
Members Of the Legislature can as
certain what is the real trend of public
sentiment by consulting their local
papers rather than by paying heed to
the prejudiced utterances of the city
press. It is to their home constituency
that they must look for Endorsement or
condemnation, and the city press can
be of no avail to them if they listen to
it and go against the desire of their
constituents. We firmly believe that
the bulk of the Republicans through
out the State are in favor of the Legis-
1ature comforting together and selecting
some one, no matter whom, so long as
he be a good Republican, to represent
them in the United States Senate.
They would do we'll to heed the wishes
of their constituents as expressed in the
interior press.
We must have a Republican Senator.

CONFRONTED WITH A CRISIS.

The demand of the Republicans
ment that the Senatorial deadlock
should be broken 1t is now perceived
along all lines of loyal thought that II
there is failure to elect a Senator the
party will take punishment that will
nullify it as a political influence Tor
b decade or more.
An instance has just come to notice
emphasizing the necessity to set aside
personal ambitions, sectional Jealousy
and impertinence, and the machina-
lions of would-be bosses, and the call
ing of the Republican legislators into
a party council at once to fix upon a
candidate for the Senatorship who shall
be voted for as party nominee. In
the United States Senate the opposition
to the Administration has so far pre-
vailed upon anti-expansionists as they
term themselves, to unite with It. as
to announce that the army bill shall
to be dictated to the Administra-
tion by the opposition. If, as
is probable, this attitude is main
tanned, the calling of an extra session
of Congress must follow. The Presl-
dent has said as much in so many
words within the past few days. In
all probability, therefore. Immediately
after the 4th day of March the new
Congress will be called in extra ses-
sion, and a new count in the Senate
will then determine the strength of
the Republicans to hold up the hands
of the President and maintain the dig
nifty and supremacy of the nation.
What will be said of California ic on
that count a vacant seat is charged
against this State? If there is found TO
Republican in the chair about 10 be
vacated by Stephen M. White, what
excuse can we make?
The question is one of first import
ance. 1t involves the retention Of Call
fornia in the Republican column, it
means the life or death of the party in
the State; possibly it-may involve the
commercial supremacy and expansion
of the commerce of the entire Pacific
Coast We repeat, regardless of can
didates' hopes, aims, desires or schem-
ing, the deadlock must be broken and
q Republican be chosen.

LIMITING PUBLICITY.

The anti-newspaper legislation pend
ing in the Legislature at this time is
largely in the direction of limiting pub
licity of public affairs and intentions.
Just as far as it goes in that line it is
subversive of liberty and dangerous TO
free institutions. Corruption, maIad-
ministration and mining against the
rights of a free people, always seek the
cover of darkness On the outset. 1t is
very far from our intention to say that
we believe that legislators have had
any such purpose in view. But the
failure Of intention on their part in no
wise lessons the force of the truth.
Give into certain hands the power to
prevent publicity of public matters and
If so minded they will be able to ac-
complish any vicious scheme. Public
ity Is the great conservator to-day of
good government, just as suppression Of
publicity is the chief aid Of rascality
and, population, subversion Of human
right and trespass upon the liberties
of q free people.
"A mistake has been made In our opin-
ion in forbidding the publication of
proposals to amend the Constitution.
The ground fer the new policy Is that
of economy-that to print the amend
ments in the press Of the day is too
costly thing to be borne, and certain
1y the present system has been grossly
- n. . Al l>,-lo
what it ever has been or the most I'm
ag1native can fancy it might be, 1t
would be Infinitely cheaper than any
device to reach the voters by other
means. oProbably the legislators who
favor the new plan will contend that
If a true copy of the proposed amend
ments are mailed to every voter the
State will have done its duty. But
that is begging the question.
No assurance can be given that the
copies so sent out will all reach the vot-
ers. A large proportion of them in the
very nature of things will never see
the printed copy. much less receive it.
A large proportion of those who receive
a copy will misplace it, and large
number will be cheated of their copies
by methods the heelers and trimmers
who have employment to defeat any
given proposition know so well how to
employ.
If in publication there has been ex-
travagance, and it is a fact not to be
denied, that may be guarded against
easily by legislation. But we repeat
that no matter. what the cost for ad-
vertising through the press, it is cheap
compared with the deprivation and
danger the new method will involve
Moreover, under the proposed new. sys-
tenn the voters will not receive their
copies of proposed amendments suffi-
GENTLY early to enable them to study
them as any alterations of the organic
law should be studied, since the printed
slips are to be sent out to the voters
with sample ballots and in the same
envelope; that is to say. ten days be-
fore election day.
We submit that this is a narrowing Of
opportunity directly and dangerously

People Are Weary.

(From the Red Bluff Peoples Cause.)
The people are weary and Disguised
with this Senatorial deadlock, and with
the prospect of. the State having only
one representative in the United States
Senate. That California should be fully
represented was recently shown in a
conspicuous manner, as pointed out by
the Stockton Record The peace
treaty carried by only three votes, and
the Nicaragua Canal bill was defeated
in the House by a narrow margin,
(which goes to show how important 1t
is that California should have her full
quota of representatives in the council
of the nation"

The "anti-expansionists," as they de-
light to term themselves, now say:
when Dewey received Aguinaldo and
permitted him to take arms at Cavite,
he should have said to him: You are
not to use these arms against the
United States, nor to set up an inde-
pendent government Had he done
this we would be free from reproach.
But he did not do so, and hence we
are estopped from protesting against
the claim of Aguinaldo." See how the
truth demolishes that fine-spun idea.
When Aguinaldo asked Dewey II ne
might expect assistance from the Unit
ed States in his rebellion. the Admiral
gave him distinctly to understand that
he was unauthorized to speak for his
Government; that if he took the Arms
at Cayite it was to be done to aid
the United States in guarding the
Sna nish prisoners and in overthrow
ing the Spanish power. Aguinaldo
therefore could by no torturing OF IAN
guage or from silence have gained the
idea that he was permitted to arm for
the establishment of a rebel govern
ment. The rascal knew well enough
that while we were at war with Spain
we could not treat with him; that while
the protocol was in effect we could
not permit war to be made upon the
Spanish; that while the peace treaty
was pending it would be impossible Tor
US to engage in warlike movements
against the Spanish

Hold a Caucus.
(From the Yreka Journal)

(From the Yreka Journal)
If the Republican members of the
Legislature have any idea of giving US
a United States Senator it is time they
were about it. Hold a caucus, have a
political seance, or get up some kind
of racket to agree, or else agree to
disagree and adjourn the joint conven-
ton sessions sine die. Republicans are
becoming Disguised, and feel like Guy
Fawkes in his effort to blow up the
English House Of Parliament some
years ago.

A Good Woman Gone.

Sanders took place on Tuesday, Rev.
J. B. Sncox officiating, and was well
attended, especially by her old-time
friends. who knew her as one who did
not live for self alone, but was always
ready to minister to the needs of others.
With loving hands they covered her
last resting place with beautiful flow

subversive of the rights Of the people.
Ten days is absurdly insufficient time
In which to receive, study and digest
proposed amendments to the Constitu-
tion-truth is that three months is n3t
too long space of time during which
proposed patching up of the funda-
mental law should be boldly, freely be-
fore the people.
But the law has passed both houses
OF the Legislature, and whatever hope
OF defeating it there is resides in the
hands of the Governor If it becomes
law. as now is thought probable, we
venture the forecast that it will prove
a failure, and that the people will re-
sent this thrusting upon them for con-
sideration amendments of vital import
in the system of government no earlier
than is now proposed, and in the man
ner provided in the bill just passed.

These works which employ about three
thousand lnen, have been shut down since
