The action of the | Supréme Court in declaring the Stratton primary law | invalid turned the primaries of both parties over to | the control of the bosses, and as a consequence no | truly representative Senatorial tickets have been nomi-’ | nated in this county. Good citizens must make their | choice among the candidates without regard to the | party that nominated them; and in doing so. must en- | deavor to select men who in office will not be sub- | servient to bosses. = It is well known that the Southern Pacific Com- pany is eager to control the coming Legislature, and | to that end its managers have combined with. the bosses of all parties. For example, before the R publican convention met in the Eleventh Senatorial District Mr. Herrin of the Southern Pacific posed as | a Republican and promised railroad aid to any Re- publican who would defeat the nomination of C. M. Belshaw. Failing to dominate the convention, Herrin promptly turned his *‘push” over to the Democrats of the district and is now working for the electior of Wilkins to beat Belshaw. Similar tactics will be followed in this county and in every other county where the Southern Pacific managers see a chance to elect any of their tools to office. | The chief reason of the desire of the railroad to con- | trol the Legislature is that the Congressional, Sena- torial and Assembly districts of the State are to be re- arranged at the coming legislative session. If the rail- road can control the rearrangement, it can so gerry- mander the State as to give the corporation tools and bosses an immense advantage in all struggles against the people for ten years to come. To defeat the scheme which the railroad managers and its allied bosses and boodlers of both camps have devised is the issue of paramount importance in State politics. In this city the voters should set it zbove all other in the local campaign. No Repub- lican should vote for such a candidate as the no- torious “Eddie” Wolfe, who does not represent either the party or its principles in anything, nor shonld Democrats support any man of a like character or lack of character nominated on their ticket. The is- sue is to elect to the State Senate honest men who wili -redistrict the State in an honest way, and in nothing will be subservient either to the railroad managers or to the slum bosses whom Mr. Herrin | #nd the Hon. W. C. Van Fleet have raised from ob- scurity to power, | As in the case of candidates for judicial positions, The Call has carefully canvassed the claims of the various candidates for the State Senate from the va- | rious ‘districts of the county, and yesterday announced the names of those who should be elected, giving in each case a statement of the record of the cafidi- date and specific reasons why his election is desirable. These candidates are: In the Seventeenth District, | Joseph M. Plunkett; in the Nineteenth, Richard M. Welch; in the Twenty-first, W. E. White; in the Twenty-third, John J. Tyrrell; in the Twenty-fifth, John H. Nelson. Each of these men has:been a resident of his dis- trict for many years, each is well known to his con- stituents, and each fully represents the best elements among them. In office they will be “senators,” not “tecls”; representatives of the people, not servitors of a corporation. Each should have the support of cvery seli-respecting man in his district. Never mind what party labels havé been put upon them. Let the voters bear in mind that the bosses of each party have nominated some good men to “carry the ticket,” . voting select the best from each side. The success of the Republican candidates for Congress or for Presidential tors will not be in any way af- fected by the vote for State Se The State issue is that of preventing the Southern Pacific Railroad from gerrymandering California. Let every citizen bearing that in mind work for honest candidates and vote for them. ators. | EVIDENCE OF THE BANKS. W record HEN all things are taken into consideration it will be perceived that the net results of the business of a people are to be found in the of the banks. The deposits’represent first the number of persons who are able to establish a bank account out of their earnings or their wages, and second the amount of that account. When times are bad the number of depositors and the amount of de- posits diminish. When times are good they increas Thus by contrasting the deposits of one year with those of another we have fairly accurate measure- { ment of the comparative degree of the prosperity of he people. In the present campaign a study of bank reports is essential to an understanding of the issues of the time. The desire of the people is for prosperity, and since the politics of a country necessarily affects trade and | business, it must-be the wish of all patriotic voters to cast their ballots for the party whose policies will be most likely to maintain and advance the welfare oi | industry and commerce. If any citizen be in doubt as to which party stands for prosperity in this country the doubt can be settled by even the most casual study of bank reports. Figures of that kind do not lie. | They cannot be juggled for campaign purposes. They | people in the way of carning and saving money. Taking the records as embodied in official reports | for the year 1894, when Cleveland was President, ani | for 1899, these figures are obtained: Total number of depositors in all banks in the United States in 1804, 5.545,867; total number in 1899, 7,655.414; increase in the number of depositors during the five years, 2,109,547 Total amount of money deposited in all banks in 1804, $2,874,580,406; total deposits in 1899, $4,608,006,005; increase in the amount of deposits un- der the Republican administration, $1,733,506,500. Not only has there been Rhat increase in the num- ber of depositors and the amount of deposits, but the average 2mount of each bank account has increased from $520 in 1804 to $602 in 1809. The bank figures of the different States are not dis- | similar in their showing to that of the statistics cited for the Union as a whole. Only a short time ago the reports of the banks of California were submitted to | the Bank Commissioners and attention was then di- rected to the wonderful increase in the amount of de- posits over those of the previous year. The increase was especially notable in the deposits of the savings banks, which represent the accumulations of the wage- earning classes. Recent statistics have been fiirnished showing the increase in deposits in California banks for five years. | In 1804 the total number of depositors was 80,773, but | in 1899 they numbered 121,881, an increase of 41,108; | the total deposits in 1804 were $38,426,037; by 1809 | they had reached the sum of $356,307,107, making an | increase of $17,880,080.

The election of Bryan and the adoption of his free coinage policy would en- tail scaling down the value of those deposits by about fifty cents on the dollar. Is it possible that any con- siderable number of thrifty Americans can hesitate how to vote on such a proposition? A FELLOW IN MOTLEY. S nently annexing the Philippines to the United States are sorely plagued in these days by the INCERE opponents of any policy of perma- mountebanks. of Bryanism who have made of “anti- | imperialism” a sort of fool’s cap and bells wherewith te make a jingle as they go prancing through the campaign. The master mountebank is of course Bryan himself, but he has on this coast a close sec- ond in President Valentine of Wells-Fargo Company and-the great express trust. The course pursued by Senator Hoar, ex-Senator Edmunds and others like | them, who oppose annexation and recognize that the | issue can best be met by the re-election of McKinley, | is consistent with the highest statesmanship and the truest citizenship, but the Bryanites are doing their worst to make all antagonism to annexation some- thing absolutely ridiculous in the eyes of the public. Here is Valentine writing letters to every paper that will publish them, and, not content with thar, printing them as‘circulars and distributing them far and wide. His one cry is there are no true men in America except those who are going to vote for Bryan. His argument is simple. In a letter to the Chicago Record he says: “Imposing ‘benevolent as- similation’ upon alien and unwilling people is a costly luxury, and the people must foot the bills. If they are satisfied with such a course, well and good; but I cannot coincide.” In a letter addressed to the Oak- land Saturday Night he returns to the argument and repeats it thus: “If the wage-earners who must pay the bills for glory do not care, then imperialism is nere to stay.” In making those statements Mr. Valentine has the merit of being candid. Certainly Wells-Fargo intend that the péople shall pay all the taxes that Congress may levy on express companies. Mr. Valentine preaches what he practices when he says if the people are satisfied to pay taxes they may, but he will not coincide. from Wells-Fargo every bit of the burden of glory. and we have no doubt he will continue to shift it to the end. Of the danger of free coinage involved in the can- didacy of Bryan Valentine makes light sport. He says in a letter to the New York Post: the dim, distant and shadowy future, where it will doubtless remain.” That is an easy creed for Wells- Fargo and the express trust, since it is a safe guess | that every dollar due to them has by contract been | made specifically payable in gold only, but how is it for the men who work for the express companies? Would not their wages be paid on a silver basis if Bryan were elected? Free silver would not be in the dim, :distant and shadowy future for them. Since Wells-Fargo is so willing to shift upop the people, and especially upon the wage-earners, the burdens of glory, so would they be ready to shift | upon the same classes the disasters of free coinage. Mr. Valentine laments the evil plight of the working- man who has to pay taxes, but he overlooks the fact that workingmen would have upon them a much lighter burden of taxation if Wells-Farygo and other corporations of the kind would pay their share of the burden instead of shirking it upon others. In fact, upon the head of Valentine “anti-imperialism” jingles s brazenly as upon thc head of Bryan, aad serves no cther purpose than that of attracting attention to the mountebank who wears it e e — PROTECTION FOR TRADEMARKS. Bar Association at its recent meeting at Sara- toga was that of providing legislation for es- tablishing a greater security to the proprietors of trademarks in all lines of business. The sentiment of the association was strongly in favor of action, and a measure was prepared for submission to Congress | which declares the counterfeiting of a trademark, or the close imitation of it with intent to deceive, a crimi- nal offense, punishable by fine or imprisonment. From the reports that have come to us it appears the proposed measure provides for the registration in the Patent Office of trademarks upon payment of a fee of $10, and for the recognition of the first applicanr as the owner of the trademark. Another important provision is that any citizen of a foreign country may | register a trademark here under the same conditions @s an American citizen, provided that the nation to which he may owe allegiance shall accord the same privilege to Americans. The measure is one of considerable importance to In the first place, it is to be noted, it will give a particular trademark to the per- vh Doubtless that provision would be so guarded that no well-known trademark could be taken by some one not justly en- titled to it, but where several existing marks are very similar to one another it will be well for the owners to watch the progress of the measure closely, so as to be ready to file a claim as soon as it becomes law. Of the desirability of such an act there will be little Almost every well established trademark is subject to forgeries or imitations. These offenses are frequently as injurious to the public as to the pro- ducer whose articles 2nd advertising have given the mark a value. In some respects, moreover, the trade- mark law would promote the movement toward the prevention of the adulteration of foods and medicines, for many of the articles of that nature that carry forged, or deceptive trademarks are also spurious in their composition. 7 One of the strong arguments for the measure is that it will put an end to a practice on the part of certain European manufacturers putting American trademarks on their goods. Commenting on that phase of the subject the Philadelphia Record says: “It is true that regulations already exist on the Conti- nent, where the imitation of American trademarks has become very widespread on account of the now recognized superiority - of | American goods, and Americans have themselves been largely to blame in not securing the registration of their trade devices in time; but if there should be a reciprocal arrangement the way of the counterfeiter would be made much harder. He is a wise business men who, foreseeing the possible introduction of his goods in all countries, secures in time both at home and abroad all the pro- tection which the patent and trademark laws may afford.” The Southern Pacific Company is at least princely if nothing else in its depredations. It is now trying to steal a wharf near the ferry depot, -and even Uncle Sam is trembling in anticipation of the consequences. 1f the experience of local officials counts for any- thing, the badge of merit in our municipal civil ser- vice is acquaintance with somebody with a pull.

A trial course for torpedo ecraft and other small vessels is being laid off in Chesapeake Bay. For deep-draught ves- sels the New England coast is now the established route on the Atlantic sea- | board, and on the Pacific Coast the Santa | Barbara channel is used for large ves- sels and San Francisco and San Pablo bays for smaller craft. The crew of the Baltimore has signed | & round robin complaining to the Navy De- | partment of the harsh treatment received | from Lieutenant Commander W. G. Cut- | ler, navigating officer of that ship. Cap- taln Forsyth of the Baltimore admits that he knew Cutler was a strict dis- ciplinarian and of abrupt manners, lack- ing the tact which officers should pos- sess. A remarkably close race was run_ be- tween,_ the British cruisers Isis and Dido | from Malta to Hongkong. They both left | Malta at 8:30 a. m. June 23, and the Isis arrived at Hongkong at 11:30 p. m. July 15, the Dido arriving six hours later. The | actual sea speed of the Isis averaged 16.3 | knots for the run of 7300 miles. Stops for | [ coaling were made at Aden, Colombo and | Singapore. Russia is pushing torpedo boat building at a rapid rate, no less than nineteen de- | stroyers and twelve torpedo boats being | bullt in foreign and home yards. Of the | latter nine are under construction at lhe: Neva yard and are to be completed by | May, 1%02. They are practically destroyers | of 350 tons, but with the moderate speed of twenty-six knots, and are 210 feet in length and 5 feet 10 inches mean draught. The British Admiraity made the biggest coal contract cn record last month when it placed orders at Cardiff for 100,000 tons best Welsh steam coal at prices varying | from $7 to $7 50 per ton. This price is con- siderably higher than our navy paid last year, when it purchased coal at home ports at an average rate of $6 34 per ton and paid $5 13'for the coal bought at fors eign ports, making an average of $5 97 per ton. The royal yacht Victoria and Albert has completed her exhaustive steam trials with highly satisfactory results as to | | horsepowers and a final one of eight hours under full power. At the latter 306 pounds of steam was carried and the revolutions averaged 147.4, developing 11,298 horsepow- er and a speed of 20.58 knots. The calcula- tions called for 11,000 horsepower and twenty knots speed. Promotion from the ranks, or rather from the forecastle to the quarterdeck, is rarer In the United States navy than in European navies. The London Chronicle, commenting upon this, states that “there is but one officer of the rank of command- er in the United States navy who has been promoted from the lower deck. That is a prince of good fellows, Commander Lu- clen Young.” The Chronicle makes two mistakes: Luclen Young is a leutenant commander, who entered the naval acad- emy in 1869 and graduated four years later, and was, therefore, never a fore- mast hand. Commander Willlam P. Day entered the navy as an enlisted boy, and Lieutenant Commander Charles E. Vree- land, John E. Roller and Willlam H. H.
