To succeed in their efforts, and fittingly punish the transgressors, the young ladies must not only break up the club, but, having brought the penitent mem- bers to their knees, simply promise, in every instance, to be a sister. At the Sacramento convention, when the Alameda County candidate had to give way to Gage, the dele- gation announced that it intended to keep the Repub- lican banner. Alameda County can be depended upon to abide by its word. | Perhaps the witness-stand will acquire some terror for Huntington now that Hinton and La Rue are no longer to doze in their official chairs.

HE fusion in this State repelled more than it Tanraczcd. It is safe to say that more Democrats repudiated it than rejected Bryan two years ago. | The national Democratic organization stood gallantly | by their sound money guns to the end and did ex- | cellent execution. The address of their State Com- | mittee was timely and effective. They bide their time. to the same partisan solitude that the remnant of the old Federal party sought under the leadership of | Jo Daviess ziter the defeat of Adams. Without the late fusion the Popu'ist party of Cali- | fornia would still be adolescent, with the sap of youth | | ir. it and a capacity for growth. But so many of its | | members followed their noses and chased the scent of the flesh-pots that it is mangled beyond recognition. | Tts last candidate for Governor, Mr. Webster, a citizen | of the best repute and standing, and an honest man, | | was compelled to repudiate its course in the fusion | ! and put his hand and isfluence to the defeat of its | | combination with Maguire. ~Mr. Shanahan, its last | hope for the life of its organization, when denied a | place on the official ballot, went with Webster. Mr. | T. V. Cator, practically the organizer of the party in | California and by far its ablest dialectician and ex- [ pounder, turned from its debauchery in a disgust that has led him to publicly declare his future allegiance | to the Republican party. The Silver Republicans had so little of substance | and were so shadowy and illusive as an organization that it is not necessary to discuss them at length. They consisted of a self-constituted committee and a disappointed ambition, which they mistook for prin- | ciple. They indulged in the idle ceremony of the | laying on of hands on the head of Maguire, and, pre- tending to the apostolic succession in Republicanism, gave him the chrism as the successor of Lincoln. But | the profane ceremony deceived none of the true be- lievers in the great emancipator. The few who were influenced by it have already found their way back | to their old party or are on the way there. Judge Maguire's declaration that the fight will go | | on, meaning thereby the fight for land confiscation, iree silver at 16 to 1, and a shower of irredeemable \aper money, is an assurance of what his new Dem- | ocracy proposes. Republicans hope that policy will be followed. If a defeat in 1896 and 1898 has not | | brayed those principles in the mortar to powder that | | is fine enough to be thrown to the winds, the process | will be repeated in 1900 so effectively that it will be | thereafter unnecessary. | | In the present House of Representatives California | is represented by three Republicans #hd four fiat| | money men. In the next House she will have six Republicans and one fiatist, and will strengthen the | sound money side of the Senate by one vote. We in- | | vite the attention of the country to these gains, and | | send hail and greeting to all men, everywhere, who | have not lost faith in the republic and the principles | n which it is founded. 2 of the most gratifying results of the elec- tions is the assured return of a sufficient num- to give the party full control of that branch of the Government.

If such lines as these had been included in the report the showing for our railroad enterprises would have been far better even than it is. Railway construction affords a fairly accurate gauge of business conditions in this cougtry. The work demands all kinds of material from cross-ties to equipments for palace cars, and nearly all classes of people are benefited in their trade. The record of increased construction is therefore doubly gratifying as an evidence of the increased prosperity of both labor and capital. S | MR. PHELAN’'S “VICTORY.” i T is usually easy to discern in the results of elec- | I tions the popular logic which determines them. Underlying the selection of candidates there is always some principle, some prejudice or sane ideai‘ which, the moment the figures are subjected to analy- | sis, yields a reason of some kind by which the result may be explained. For instance, Dr. Hill, who has been elected Coroner, was the only candidate who smashed the slate of the Committee of One Hundred. Assessor Siebe, an unsuccessful Republican nominee, was defeated because he has held the place too long. The people evidently thought eight years with the emoluments of the Assessor’s ‘office was sufficient for one man. But for what possible reason was James D. Phelan re-elected Mayor? The people repudiated his entire ticket, with a few insignificant exceptions, and yet placed him at the head of the government again by a majority which, like Mercutio’s wound, though not as wide as a church door nor as deep as a well, still is sufficient. In other words, Mayor Phelan’s po- litical methods, his candidates, his principles and his faction, have all been buried under a mass of dis- approving ballots, but he has himself been re-elected. This result is an anomaly in politics. Generally the first man to feel the wrath of those whose political seritiments he has outraged is the leader or boss. But in the Mayor’s case Democratic anger has been visited upon the creatures alone. Mr. Phelan, with singular felicity, attributes the de- feat of his party to a desire on the part of the people to support President McKinley’s administration; but, with characteristic conceit, he intimates that they took care of him on the ground that he has made an excellent Mayor and that the public weal demanded | his indorsement. In the hour of his trial perhaps no one will grudge Mr. Phelan the privilege of laying this flattering unction to his soul, but we may be par- doned for expressing in type a genial smile for the } able to penetrate the thin veil which conceals from them the desperation of his logic. Apparently there is no sense in the re-election of Mayor Phelan. The same influences which over-| whelmed Maguire and the other fusionists in city and | dissatisfaction, and while his demagogy was more seemed intrenched in power in the Senate, and from | that vantage point threatened the nation with a free | silver bill, is now to be hardly more than a faction | in the chamber. It is bereit not only of numbers, but | | of leaders, and such Democrats as are there may yet{ | be found following Populist guides instead of shaping | | policies for themselves. | Of the great Democratic galaxy that dominated the | Senate during Cleveland’s term, Hill, Gorman, Black- burn, Voorhees, Harris and Vilas will be absent from | the Senate that is to be. Some of these are dead; some are virtuall)" out of politics, and they have left no strong successors. Senator White, who might have succeeded to the leadership, will also be absent, and so will Mills of Texas. Only two strong men of | the old group remain—Morgan and Vest—and they | | are too old and too weak from ill health to lead with any vigor or efficiency. From the present outlook there will be but twenty- ht Democrats in the Senate. Among these are some | | cld war-horses like Cockrell, Turpie and Daniel, but | these are more given to making long-winded speeches | than anything else, and genuine leadership is not in | them. There remains for the Democrats of the Sen- ate, therefore, no apparent leader unless they choose to follow the wild and bellowing Tillman of South | | Carolina. If they refuse his control they will be | either a leaderless faction or else convert themselves | into a following for a silverite like Teller, or a Popu- | list like Allen. This plentiful lack of brains among the Democrats | of the coming Senate is likely to have a marked effect | upon the course of politics. It will enable the vigor- | ous siiverites and Populists such as Teller, Allen, li Mantle and Cannon, to take the lead in opposition to | the Republican majority, and compel Democracy to accept a subordinate place. Fusion, it ia clear, is | coming home to roost. Hungry Democracy, in its | | greed to devour Populism, is in danger of being swal- | lowed itself. The country, however, will give but little heed to the predicament of the small Democratic faction. Interest in the Senate will center in the strong and ably led Republican majority that will control it. Once more the highest council of the nation has be- come the stronghold of its conservative wisdom and | constructive statesmanship. The victory of the yeari | will be far-reaching and long lasting. Before the 1 Senate can be changed again all the financial problems | of the country will be settled, and its money and cur- rency of all kinds established permanently on the sound basis of gold. R the first day of October nearly 2200 miles of railroad had been laid in the United States during the year, and enough work is now under way, it is said, to justify the belief that the total construc- | tion for the whole year will exceed 3000 miles. { While this mileage is below the accomplishments of some of the great railroad building years of the past, it is a marked advance over anything attained since the panic of 1893. In no year between 1893 and the present year did the construction of new roads equal 2000 miles. It will be seen, therefore, that the revival of prosperity has already attained good head- way in railway enterprises as well as in other lines of industry. It is to be noted that the figures given refer only to railways to be traversed by steam locomotives, and do mnot include any of the numerous electric lines which in the more thickly populated sections of the | country are now radiating from the cities and ex- RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION. ECENTLY published statistics show that up to THE SPOILS AWARDED TO THE WORKERS Deputies’ Places Are Mostly Filled. HARLOW LIKE THE BROOK| ROGERS HAS MANY FAT VACAN- CIES TO DISPOSE OF. In Several of the Offices With Prin- cipals Re-elected There Will Be No Changes in the Staffs. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Nov. 10. Already the candidates-elect for county offices have given indications of how the patronage of their offices will be distrib- uted. Some time ago at the San Leandro con- vention The Call stated how many of the deputyships would be fllled, and recent developments prove the correctness of that information. Under District Attorney J. J. Allen his chief deputy will be H. A. Melvin, who has been in the office for four years; At- torney Phil M. Walsh will be another deputy; George Samuels, who nominated Judge Allen in the convention, another, while it is said that Abe Leach and T. W. Harris of Pleasanton will complete the list. In the Auditor’s office J. Cal Ewing has signified his intention of appointing J. J. Hannifin Jr. as his chief deputy, and James B. Dean an assistant. Mortimer Smith and J. W. Stetson, who have been elected City Justices, will be Police Judge and Justice respectively, the cholce being reposed in the Mayor. The Police Judge will have to appoint a clerk of his court and an official stenographer. ‘When Oscar L. Rogers assumes the duties of the Sheriff he will have to ap- point an Under Sheriff, two jailers, four bailiffs of the Superfor Court and a host of other deputies. W. 8. Harlow, who has been Under Sheriff for twenty-three vears, does not expect to be succeeded by a stranger, The other deputyships will be scattered all over the county. Louls Schoneau of Alameda, George Taylor of Livermore, George Wales of Newark and Sam Heller, | who was a candidate for Sheriff but re- | signed in favor of Rogers, are also declar- | ing they have the inside track to the Sheriff's office. Assessor Dalton will make no changes in his office, and it is said that County Clerk Jordan will also retain all his pres- ent deputies, although he will have to ap- point a chief deputy to succeed Auditor- elect Cal Ewing. The re-election of Messrs. Church and Talcott for Supervisors guarantees a continuation of the terms of office of the county employes. Recorder-elect Grim requires two dep- uties, and he will undoubtedly take one of them from the street railroad men, who organized for the sole purpose of electing their old_superintendent. Coroner-elect Mehrmann has some deputies to aépulnt throughout the coun- ty. Deputy Quellin will probably not be disturbed, as he has done good service. The morgue will remain Albert Brown’s establishment. The township offices have been filled as follows: ‘Eden Township—Justices of the Peace, Pimental (fusion), Quinn (fusion); Con- | stables, Gallett (fusion), Ramage (R.). | Washington Township—Justices of the at Peace, ichmond (fusion), Sandholdt (R.); Constables, Vanderwoort (R.), Tre- (fusion). fr; Aurray Township—Justice of the Peace, Taylor (R.); Constables, Locke (R.), Fitz- gerald_(fusfon).

Tn the fall of 1895 the California Fish Commissioners brought from the FEast 1000 big mouth black fry, which were placed at the hatchery at Sissons to at- tain sufficient growth to battle for them- selves In the streams of California. The first distribution of these fish in the pub- lic waters is now taking place. A few days ago 100 two-year-old fish were put into the Russian River, near Duncans Mills. One hundred more were placed in the San Joaquin River near Tracy and 250 in the same stream in Fresno County. Yesterday Lake Merced | recelved 100 fish, and 50 were put into ! Tule River in Tulare County. To-day 400 | fish will be shipped to the San Joaquin River to be placed in the water near the mouths of the Stanislaus and Mokolumne Rivers. The big mouth black bass are specially adapted to warm waters and they grow to be much larger than the small mouth | variety, now common in many of the streams of the State. The Commissioners believe they will flourish in the water of the San Joaquin River and its many tri- butaries and sloughs that branch far out from it into all of the surrounding coun- try. There is no doubt that in a few years these streams will be filled with fine food and game fish. The Commissioners make the urgent request that anglers in any of the streams mentioned, and espec- ially in the Russian River, will refrain from taking any big mouth black bass for a few years until the fish have a chance to increase. Every fish returned to the | water will mean plenty of sport in the future. The big mouth black bass is easy to distinguish from any of the other of the finny tribe. It is larger than the small mouth varis ety and the size of the mouth is a most distinguishing feature. *It is also of a much brighter silvery color. — e HARRY MURRAY’'S DISCOVERY. A Four-Inch Shell Found at the Late Residence of Mrs. Shields. Harry Murray, a paperhanger residing at 1 Ewer place, made a peculiar find while engaged in papering the residence lately occupied by Mrs. Shields at 201 Vire ginia avenue—the place it is alleged the woman attempted to burn on the night of September 25 last, and for which she 1s now awaiting trial on the charge of arson. While clearing away some rubbish in a kitchen on the lower floor, Murray dis- covered a four-inch shell under some shelving. The death dealing missile was covered by a lot of old I‘Bfi! and paper. Murray removed the shell and took it to_his home.

San Jose Salinas Los Angsles WHY MAGUIRE WAS DEFEATED? From the Sacramento Bee. The campaign is over. Defeat has been the portion of James G. Ma- guire, as the Bee was afrald it would be; as it warned his managers would be the fate of their candidate if they persisted in -heir idiotic plan of cam- paign. Let us review the events of the past two months and see what tale they tell: with him. have been named. his views. Had the election taken place early fu September James G. Ma- guire would have been elec'2d by 20,000 to 30,000 majority. He whs probably the strongest. man with the masses who could He had been manly, outspoken, broad and decided in He had made a splendid impression wherever he went, where- The people were as Gage had been a chill and a frost. Republican politicians did not hesi- tate to declare that Gage was doomed unless something should happen to turn the tide. And that something did happen. ‘With victory easily in their grasp, and evidently at the dictation of the San Francisco Examiner, the Board of Strategy conducting the Maguire fight mapped out an idiotic plan of campaign which drove votes from that candidate from its very incep- tion. They narrowed the issues down to only one—it was the San Fran- cisco Examiner on one hand and C. P. Huntington on the other. That was not the way the Board of Strategy put it, but that most undeniably was the way in which the people viewed it. And that idea grew with its growth and strengthened with its strength when it became noticeable that James G. Maguire, the champion of the masses on many a vital issue, had only one subject to speak about—the railroad. It extended into a conviction on the part of the people when the Examiner day in and day out threw col- umns of written and pictorial billin, ate at all who were not for Maguire, and denounced them as rallroad hirelings and numerous other choice pet names from the Examiner vocabulary. The convicticn became stamped as an absolute certainty when Maguire was rushed through Northern Califor- nia on an Examiner speclal train as the Examiner candidate for Governor. The issue vhich had been idiotically worked up by Maguire's own campaign committee and was at last brazenly thrust down the throats of the people by the Examiner was accepted by the voters. They todk the bit in their teeth and repudiated the Examiner, although that carried with it the defeat of Maguire. Whether it has resultec in a victory for C. P. Huntington can better be answered after the citizens have had a good opportunity to judge the ad- ministration of Henry T. Gage. AROUND THE CORRIDORS J. E.
