But it is not saying tov much to say that the election in this city, in all those respects, ranks in importance with the result in many States. On the alignment of 1896 President McKinley carried Cali- fornia by a very narrow margin. The total vote was 298,072, of ‘which McKinley had 146,472, Bryan 144.766, Palmer 1730, Levering 2562, Bentley 931, and Matchett 1611, | leaving McKinley with a plurality over Bry vote of 5133. 4 In the gubernatorial election of 1898 majority over all of 9653. an of 1706, but in the minority of the whole the total vote was 287,053, of which Gage re- | ceived 148,354, Maguire 129,261, Harriman 35143, and McComas 4297, giving Gage a | San Francisco, Alameda, Sacramento and Santa Clara gave an aggregate Republican majority of 10,017, without which the party would have been beaten. 15,505 from Bryan's, and Gage gained 2882 on McKinley. The total vote was 11,017 short of the total of 1896. Maguire’s vote fell off Add to Maguire’s vote the 15,505 Democrats who snubbed the polls, and Gage would have heen in a minority of the total vote of 5852, or a trifle more than McKinley’s minority in 1896. These figures should teach and exhort Republicans as to the political condition of this State and their duty in to-day’s election. Every man with sense enough to mark his ticket knows what will be the effect of It will mean the getting together of all elements of the opposition in a votes. such election. gigantic effort to carry the State next year, in this campaign.

They next year calling Republicans to stand by their ticket, and that the spectacle will make indifferent thousands of good Republicans who will be still stung by this year’s defeat. The Phelan-McNab-Rainey combination, while professing to bolting Republicans to be harmless as a dove, is as wise as a serpent. With a so calied Republican Mayor in Oakland maundering his support to Phelan, while holding an office given him by a straight party vote, the disease with which Phelan is attempting to inoculate Republicanism here will spread there, and California will either be lost to the party next year or saved by an exhausting effort. If a Republican lag in his duty to-day and do it not, he need expect no sympathy when the consequences of his neglect are upon him. DISHONORABLE TACTICS. HEN Joseph Britton, after accepting a nomi- nation for the office of Supervisor from the Republican party, waited until the last mo- ment and then deserted, giving his party a stab in the back as he went, it was believed such dishonor- would not soon be repeated in San Fran- The unexpected, however, has hap- Hailidie has become an imitator of He also has deserted his party, and has able tactic cisco politics. A S pened. Britton. timed his desertion so that his attack could neither be guarded against nor refuted. Honorable men will not envy the record made by these allies of Phelan. If Britton had an honest be- lief that the Phelan ticket was better than any the Republicans could nominate he should have stood for There was evidently a design in the t he played, and the design does more credit to his cunning and his malice than to his sin- cerity or his self-respect. Hallidie has had weeks of time in which to an- nounce his protest against a consideration of na- tional politics in this campaign. During the whole period of debate and discussion he kept silent. His course was as secret and as sneaking as that of a snake in the grass. When he thought it too late for Horace Davis to reply, Hallidie struck at him. That is the record. If profit Phelan anything we mistake the sentiment of the peo- ple of San Francisco. e e e such dishonorable tactics When Mayor Phelan was heralded as the “hero” of a gallant rescue of a fireman, had already been placed beyond the reach of harm, it was not suspected that his Honor was making the prelimin- ary pose of the tableau that makes him politically the central figure of the Department. 4 R to the effect that the demands of traffic have far exceeded the ability of the transportation com- panies. Ships are said to be waiting at the docks for cargoes that have not arrived, rchants wait for the delivery of goods ordered long ago, and the internal trade of the country is retarded by a lack of cars to who EVIDENCES OF PROSPERITY. EPORTS from !ix; ;\tiafiiic seaboard States are | carry it on. A striking illustration of the extent to which the demand for transportation exceesds the present ca- pacity of the railways is given in the fact that two railways alone, the Pe ia and the New York Central, have recently placed orders for 15,000 coal and freight cars. It is to be noted, moreover, that rgest capacity. About twenty-five years ago the ordinary freight car had a capacity of 20,000 pounds. Improvements in railway beds, in locomotives and in car construction admitted an increase in the capacity of freight cars by rapid degrees, and it is said the new cars for the two great trunk lines named will have 1 a capacity of 80,00c pounds. Thus the number of cars ordered will be equal in carrying capacity to 60,000 cars of a quarter of a century ago. The orders given by the Pennsylvania and the New York Central roads have attracted attention by rea- son of their magnitude. Those, however, are not the only lines which have placed orders for cars and loco- motives. The traffic of the country growing out of its abounding prosperity has everywhere exceeded tha ability of the transportation companies to properly handle it, and almost every important railway in the Union is in the market purchasing increased equip- ments for freight and for passenger service. The vast augmentation of traffic which has made necessary the demand for such an increase in the freight equipments of our roads has been due of course to the abounding prosperity of the country, nsyly: jand that in turn rests in no small measure upon the | legislation which has given confidence to the business interests and industries of the people. The same con- dition of crops and harvests would not mean pros- perity for the people at large if our manufacturers were exposed to the competition of foreign cheap la- bor, or if our finances were subject to the meddling and muddling of free silver or fiat money statesmen. Out of these evidences of prosperity, therefore, can | be drawn added reasons why the intelligent business and working men of the country should give their support to the party of sound money and protection lin every contest which arises, whether in city, or State, or nation. The difference between good and bad legislation can be estimated by the difference be- tween the good years we are now enjoying and the bad years of the Democratic regime. e — Sharkey still insists that he wasn’t whipped. He evidently believes that his tongue is an invincible weapon. OUR INTERESTS IN CHINA. CCORDING to reports from Washington our /C\ Government has been informed that Italy is persisting in her claims for a port and a sphere | of influence in China in order to be on something like equal terms with other European nations. It is said to be the intention of the Italians to occupy San { Mun and use that as a basis from which to extend Italian trade and build up Italian interests in China as extensively as circumstances admit. In a certain sense our Government has nothing to do with the claims of Italy in China any more than with the demands of the Russians or the Germans, the British or the French. It has been announced that the United States has given notice to the powers that we will take no part in the partition of China, and will make no efforts to obtain a port there, but will insist that the trade rights of the merchants of the United States be respected and guaranteed even in those parts of China which have passed under the “influence” of other nations. The policy outlined is the right one for us to fol- low. Without any port or sphere of influence of our own in the past we have built up a considerable trade with China, and it is steadily increasing. Our trade is not with any particular district, but with the em- pire of China, and it would be foolish on our part to surrender the right to trade with the whole empire for the sake of obtaining a port and a district such as the European nations are struggling for. Secretary Hay is reported to have given the various European powers to understand that this Government proposes that the provisions of its treaties with China shall be observed even in the spheres of influence which each has obtained, and, to make 'ertain that such observances shall be continued, American repre- sentatives have been directed to gain written guaran- tees that no restrictions will be placed upon American commerce. Such representations on jour part will not be ig- nored. Since the Spanish war the United States has been recognized as a world power of the first rank, and our prestige in the Pacific is too great for any nation to willingly challenge. It is altogether prob- able, therefore, that our trade interests in China will be respected so far as we ourselves maintain them, and, fortunately, our statesmen are now so well aware of the value of the commerce of the Orient they will not be neglectful of our opportunities there. If the women who are agitating from one end oif the continent to the other for the removal of Con- gressman Roberts do nothing more they will have given the Mormon elder an international name. /\/\ by the imperial press of the country to sus- tain the contention that in the war in South Africa the sympathy of the American people should be with the British rather than with the Boers. One of these is sufficiently curiou$ to be worth noting as an illustration of the extent of the ambitious dreams of our imperialistic fellow citizens. As expressed by the Philadelphia’ Record it runs in this way: “The Muscovite and the English-speaking races are gradually dividing the earth between them. America has become the most energetic exemplar of English push; but it is Great Britain alone that gives to this country free access to all the markets which she controls. For this reason, if for no other, it is to our advantage that the British empire should be extended. And as to the future—is not the heri- tage all to be ours? Certainly, unless Great Britain herself should prefer that her great empire shall pass to strangers to her blood, institutions and language. Great Britain's pre-eminence has been built by her sturdy sons upon her iron, coal and fleets. She can- not possibly sustain her fleets when the iron and coal shall be gone. The center of empire must then driit to the -United States—the center of power- giving production.” That is to say, the British are to exhaust their coal, iron and energy in' conquering about half the globe, and then the United States are to enter upon the field as heirs of the British empire and take pos- session of the estate. The British, therefore, are not overrunning South Africa for themselves but for us. Tt is an éxcellent view to take of the subject, but has the drawback of presenting the American eagle in the aspect of a vulture waiting to fatten on prey the lion has killed. THE HEIRS OF EMPIRE.
