The this conspiracy would have meant not only plunde; e opening of the city wide to every form of vice and rascality that would pay tribute or divide profits with Lawrence and Gunst and the rest | of the gang The scheme has been baffled and beaten.

Even now of his morality and his intelligence. when the Examiner, under the direction of Lawrence, is pushing a petition in his favor, no rea- - ssigned for appointing him, except that he ought to be vindicated from the effects of his own testimony. That is all, except it is further said, with much display of indignation, that Phelan promised him the place, and that Commissioners who refuse to are traitors to Mayor Phelan and to the new give it charter. It is evident the Examiner is to be used by the gang to slander, libel, calumniate, malign and belie all who oppose them. Such an exhibition raises the suspicion that the Mayor nfay have been to some extent forced to concede the arrogant demands of the disreputable crowd by fear that if he did not the Examiner would assail his private life and hold him up to as much of obloguy as it could. Be that as it may, the Mayor could not sufier more from the worst that Lawrence can publish than he has suffered from the exposure of the bargain with him. This second phase of the story is in some respects viler than the first, if anything viler could be. Phelan finds himself scorned by men who once supported him. In the wreck of his reputation he seeks to keep a dishonorable faith with the dishonored gang that procured his election, and persists in his efforts to carry out his bargain. It is-bad work all around, but honest men will not suffer, and Commissioner Biggy need have no fear of what Phelan, Lawrence and Gunst may do to injure him. has | When he swore he | ) | M ANY measures are to be considered cific terms, with the strongest pledges and THE SUPREME ISSUE OF THE SESSION. during the extra session of the Legislature, and many questions are involved in the Senatorial contest, but there is one issue which overrides all the rest and dominates the situation. It is the issue which arises from the attitude the Southern Pacific Company has been able to assume, by the | connivance of Governor Gage, toward the Republican party and the State of California. When Mr. Gage was a candidate for the office he now holds and was soliciting the votes of Republicans he assured them in the most emphatic words, in the most spe- the most solemn vows, that he was not in any | way a creature of the Kentacky corporation, would not be in any respect subservient to the dictation of the agents or president of that corporation, nor if elected to the Gov- 650 | ernorship would at any time sacrifice the interests of the Republican party or the wel- | fare of the State through fear or favor of anything the railroad might promise or do. All those pledges and promises have been broken. The interference of the rail- | road in the affairs of the State has been more open and notorious than ever before in our history, and the Governor has aided and abetted the work of its agents. He has been so subservient to it that when he had under consideration the question of caliing an extra session of the Legislature he did not consult with Republican leaders either in office or out of it, but with two officers of the Southern Pacific Company, Herrin and Wright, both Democrats, and upon their advice ‘called the session to meet within six days after the summons was issued. [ By reason of these acts of a Governor elected to office by Republican votes the | Kentucky corporation is put into such a relation to the party that the corporation ap- | pears very much like a dictator and master. The agents of the corporation no longer make even a pretense at concealment of their political schemes and plans. They are so openly and defiantly working to elect to the United States Senate a tool of their cor- | poration that not even the boldest liar dares to pretend that the railroaod.is out of pol- | itics. | not shirk; nor ignore, nor confute. Either Thus there confronts the Republicans of the Legislature an issue which they can- they are going to follow the Governor in his | betrayal of the party or else they are going to redeem the party from his rascality and | put an end to the impudent attempts at domination on the part of Huntington’s agents. | The extent to which the railroad has attained power in California is so enormous that it is not strange its officials no longer think it necessary to conceal their political | schemes. That corporation controls and directs the State Board of Equalization, and | by the debasing service of that board escapes its just burden of taxation. The corpora- | tion owns the Railroad Commission, and the Commissioners, who from their office are expected to be impartial arbitrators and judges between the people and the railroads, are known to resort to the officials of the railroad tp receive instruction and commands | as to what they shall do and what they shall leave undone. For offenses against right and justice and duty not more vile than those which the Equalizers and the Railroad Commissioners commit at the dictation of the railroad judges in other lands have been hanged to lamp posts and impartial history has commended the hanging. Here then is the situation. The Kentucky corporation controls the Railroad Commission, the State Board of Equalization and the Governor of the State. It is now making an effort to control the Legislature and through that body to elect a Senator whom it will control. earnest. It is time to grapple with this monstrous corrupting power in From the struggle which is to begin at this session of the Legislature called by | the Governor at the dictation of the railroad there will come a decisive victory for one | side or the other. at their command to win. gislators will do. The corporation managers know it and will exhaust every resource The people also know it and wait watchful to see what the THE CEMETERY QUESTION. | le N ordinance introduced by Supervisor D'An- /E\ cona, by request, at the meeting of the Board of Supervisors last Monday will have the effect of reopening the discussion on the cemetery question. The ordinance, which prohibits further burials of the dead within the city limits after 1902, was referred to | the Judiciary and the Hospital and Health commit- tees, and since the subject is one with which all are fairly familiar and requires little or nothing in the way | of new investigation, an early report upon it may be | expected. Long ago The Call pointed out that the agitation of the issue would never cease until the passage of an | ordinance prohibiting further burials within the city. The enactment of such a municipal regulation may be baffled for a time by the antagonism of special inter- | ests; it may be delayed by conservatism, or postponed for sentimental considerations, but sooner or later it will be enacted. All considerations of public policy are in its favor, and in the end these considerations will prevail over whatever objections may be set up | against them. Under any circumstances the burial of the dead | within cities or thickly settled suburban districts is an | evil against which science has made effective protests. | In ouslcase the evil is augmented because the ceme- teries within the city stretch as a barrier against the westward extension of municipal growth. They in- | terpose between the main portion of the city and one | of its finest and most attractive residence districts, thus forcing a donsiderable number of persons who would otherwise live .1 the city to seek homes in San | Mateo, Alameda or Marin counties. - There is, there- fore, a material loss as well as an injury to health in the use of such large tracts of urban land for the burial of the dead. There, are doubtless many serious objections to the closing of the cemeteries, but none that cannot be overcome by a well devised ordinance. It will not be necessary to injure any person in property or business, or to desecrate the bodies of the dead held in sacted memory by their surviving descendants, relatives and friends. All that is required to protect every right and to respect every sensibility can be provided in an erdinance which will none the less put a stop to fur- ther burials in these cemeteries and guard the com- munity against the increase of an evil already great. The question has been brought before several suc- cessive Beards of Supervisors, but for one reason or another no action has been taken upon it. It would be gratifying if the present board would mark the in- ception of the new era of municipal government by settling the question. The closure, we repeat, must come sooner or later, and this is decidedly one of the cases where it can be safely said, The sooner it is done, the better. e s e It would seem that the precious trio of political highwaymen, Gage, Herrin and Burns, will have to manipulate the Legislature on their merits, the patronage bag having been exhausted. It may prove a hazardous task, however, to open any other kind of a bag at the State capital. i g i With all his willingness to pungle up for the Sena- torial nomination Clark of Montana seems to have been a hard man from whom to get money.

The two women of Sioux City who quarreled over the dead body of their common husband were evi- dently determined to seize in death what they could not claim in life. PROGRESS IN OAKLAND. ONE of the most assuring promises of municipal progress and improvement in Oakland is that which is contained in the organization of a Committee of One Hundred, composed of men of | light and leading, to conduct a campaign of education in favor of issuing bonds for defraying the cost of needed public works and enterprises. JFrom the ef- forts of such men it is certain that much of good will result, and it is quite probable that within the near | future they may attain all they aim at. No city in the United States, and perhaps none in the world, has more. natural advantages as a place of residence than Oakland. To the men and women of our time, however, natural advantages are not enough. The increasing culture of the world demands well crdered streets, stately public buildings of every kind, from courthouses to schools, attractive parks, thor- ough sewerage and handsome avenues and boule- vards. Wherever these are provided men and women of culture and wealth from the surrounding country congregate arid make their homes. Nothing pays bet- ter than such municipal improvements. The rewards are numerous and varied. They come not only in the form of increased trade and business activity, but in that of augmented hcalth and intellectual as well us physical well being. | The movement toward the adornment of cities be- gan in the East years ago and has made such progress there that some American cities are now equal to many of the most attractive capitals of the Old World in all that goes to dignify a civilized community. The spirit of that movement has reached California and has begun to animate the more progressive element of our cities. The overwhelming vote for the issue of bonds in San Francisco is an evidence of the extent of its influence here. It is natural that it should be felt in Oakland as well ‘as on this side of the bay, and therefore the movement there is in some respects an inevitable outcome of the time and the situation. The naturalness of the movement, hdwever, does not detract from the credit due to those who have un- dertaken the work of advancing it. It requires time and energy to overcome the inertia of large communi- ties. That was shown in the campaign started by The Call for public improvement in San Francisco. The Committee of One Hundred in Oakland will have ‘many a silurian prejudice to overcome and many a jealous antagonism to conquer. They have under- taken a work as difficult as it is important, and to ac- complish it will need all the assistance that their pro- gressive and enterprising fellow-citizens can give them. Fortunately for the promise of success the commit- tee is made up of men who are well fitted for the work. - Their personal influence is large and will as- sure for their enterprise a careful consideration from the great mass of the people of the city. It is not a partisan movement that has been started, nor one for the advantage or interests of any particular class. It is designed for the benefit of all, and therefore merits the support of all. At a recent banquet of the Unitarian Club President Benjamin Ide Wheeler ventured the suggestion that the next great task before us was the assimilation of China. With all due respect fo his opinion, we re- mind him that we are not a nation of ostriches.

The following story is attributed to Mar- shall P. Wilder: Some evenings ago a man was seated in the corridor of one of the large hotels smoking a fragrant Ha- vana cigar. On the lounge next to him were seated a woman and her daughter, the latter being immediately next to the smoker. . The draft in the corridor blew the smoke from the cigar across the ounger woman's face, to which, although t annoyed her extremely, the smoker re- mained weglu(ly either oblivious or else wholly indifferent. Finally, after several quite audible remarks to her mother apro- pos of the rudeness of men in general in smoking in the presence of women, which passed rapidly into a_ somewhat hectic comment on this smoker in particular, the frayed string of her temper broke, and turning savagely to the tormentor she sald: ‘‘If you were my husband, do you know 1'd poison you?” Her neighbor, re- movin clgar from his lips. promptiy responded: “And do you know, madam were you my wife, I'd take that’ poison?* —New York Tribune. —_———— California Glace Fruits, 50c 1b, in fire- etched boxes.

An extra session of the Legislature has been called by Governor Gage to convene on Monday next. The main object of the call is to elect a United States Senator. An effort, as a matter of course, will be made to slect Dan Burns to this honorable position. Political promises will try to be fulfilled and in this respect the good, clean RzPubllcan: of the Legislature should ses that s . the effort of our misfit Governor defeated. o e RED BLUFF NEWS. ® * ¢ In justification of the Governor's action In calling *an extra session his friends pretend to believe that it is of the utmost importance that Cali- fornia should have another Senator. This is simply rot, tommy-rot at that. There is no great necessity for another Senator at this time, and in fact, the State would be better off with one only than with such another as the Gover- nor wishes to have elected and who, it is said, is certain of an election. Of what possible use would Dan Burns be to the State in the Senate? His record shows that he is nothing but a practical politician who is up to all the political trickery of that exalted profession. He has given no proof of statesmanship; he has na record as a legislator; he is m_)t l‘mln of learning or culture. WATSONVILLE PAJARONIAN. ® o o A political party and its principles stand for more than the am- bition of any member thereof, and its course and its policy should not be turned aside and perhaps irreparably Injured because of the candidacy for a high office of a man who has not one qualification therefor. The danger signals are flying before the Republican party of California, and if its representatives at Sacra- mento cling to Dan Burns and cut away from what sober judgment will tell them Is the best course to pursue, something will drop at the ballot box next November, and drop hard. There is no call for the election of Burns from the mass of the Republican party, the citizens of California, irrespective of politics, do not want him, and it is an even bet that Sam Rainey wouid poll more votes for the office than he would at a general election. The Republican party has not within twenty-five vears faced such a dangerous crisis in this State—and the reckless ambition of a discredited and State owing ex-State official threatens the political decision of California at the coming Presidential election. If Dan Burns weie a sincere Republican and a true Californian he would get the Senatorial fight, and if Henry Gage had his accredited backbone an sound Judgment and was taking his orders from no man he would have firmiy refused to call the extra session. He has opened Pandora’s box; can he close it when he wishes? out of « s o HAYWARDS REVIEW. * * ¢ In some mysterious way the conclusion has been reached that the tax- payers will readily bear the expense in return for the honor of having Colonel Dan {lluminate the Senate as this State's representative. The wholesale noto- riety achieved by California’s Legislature at its last session was sufficient for all time. It is to be devoutly hoped that the lawmakers will transact as rapidly as possible all the weighty business named in_the Governor's convocation, as the State’s reputation is not yet legislator-proof. POMONA TIMES. © o ¢ This call doubtless means the eelction of Dan M. Burns, for it is gen- erally admitted that the Governor would not have made the call had thers been any uncertainty. The Times makes the prediction that the Governor will keenly regret calling an extra session of the Legislature. As he cites the election of a Senator the first of the sixteen reasons for calling a_session, it is fair to presume that had the Legislature elected a Senator the other fifteen reaséns wouid not have been re- garded of sufficlent importance to justify an extra session. SANTA CRUZ SURF. Governor Gage has committed the hara-kirl act and called the Legislature to- gether for another Kilkenny cat exhibition. It is claimed that sixty-one or more Republican members have signed the warrant for their political suicide by agreeing to go into secret caucus.and abide the result of a secret ballot. © Among the number who have thus surrendered their manhood and their politi- cal integrity is counted Senator Trout of this district. The Surf does not be- ve Senator Trout has signed any such compact. o Ief he signed a dnrumenf the purport of which he did not understand the Surt does not beiieve he will submit to being hoodwinked. We have been at varfauce with Senator Trout on many local and political matters, but we always belleved Senator Trout to be an honest man and his own master, and we shall continue to so believe until he proves the contrary by his own acts. It is claimed that a ‘‘dead cinch” has been secured after twelve months of manipulation and bargain and barter, but we discredit these claims and doubt that the Governor's dictation will be followed in the election of a Senator or in enacting the legislation demands. California r?m‘ds a Senator in Washington, but not bad epough to sacrifice all respect for her Legislature. If Dan Burns must be elected Senator the State Will survive if his election is secured by openly cast ballots and openly declared Votes, but legislators themselves ought to realize before it is too late that they cannot survive a secret vote in a set‘.rel cavcus. SACRAMENTO BEE. Although various reasons have been given for the calling of the extra session, the State at large believes that only one was potential with the Governor—the election of a Senator of the United States. In fact, the common view is that the extra session of the Legislature was called to present Daniel M. Burns with a high and honorable office which he could never reach if he submitted his ambition to a verdict of the people of California. It is not generally believed that Burns has many more votes to-day than he had when the session closed. But this dilemma cenfronts those who do not want to_gee California represented by a man who stands for all that is most vicious ¥ California politics: There are eighty-five Republican members. It takes sixty-one votes to elect on joint ballot. If part of the opposition to Daniel M. Burns should refuse to go into caucus and another part should enter therein, a condition of affairs would arise which would tend to the advantage of Burns, no matter whether he should have a majority of all the votes in the caucus or tonly more votes than any other one candidate. If he should have a rajority of the caucus, then the tory would be within his frfisp. If he should have simply more votes than any other candidate, the gods of chance would still faver him. For the play then would be to have the lowest candidate dropped on each ballot and unless the opposition would be willing in a rush to centér on some one man, Burns would inevitably win. It is understood that the Bu day evening next. r'l;helr object iz to & s well, on thelr part—againsi v o) B o Hee belleves (hat It would be good. rns men are anxious to force a caucus for Mon- is to go mm‘l'he game of diplomacy—and bluff osition. licy for every Republican Senator and every Republican Assemblyman to go into that caucus.

The Bee believes that the elec Senate would be a publi calamity. s an_as Irving M. Scott. . U entt however, is perfectly willing to step down and out if the anti-Burns men will have an understanding and combine their forces on any one eise. He Jas suggested through the columns of the Bee that the anti-Burns men hold a catcus pick up a man to lead the opposition and go into the battle united upon that man. And he stands ready not only to abide by the decision of that caucus but to do all that in his power may lay to help his election. There is no time to be lost in this matter. The opposition should get together at once and go into the battle united upon some one man if it hopes to defeat D. M. Burns.
