Such a danger may be remote, and we believe it to be so, but none the less it exists, and Re- publicans should be on guard against it. too much trust in appearances. so ! Tt is time for the people of the various districts of California to elect to Congress men of such standing that their re-election will be well nigh assured, so that in the end California will have a body of experienced Representatives having a large acquaintance with | methods and the members of the House. Only by ! having Representatives of that character can the State | attain to its rightful position in the Union. Mr. Mec- Lachlan is 2 man of whom great things may be ex- | pected in Congress. He possesses industry, fidelity to duty, a high capacity for making and retaining friend- | hips, and his devotion to Republican principles and | policies is unquestioned. The election of such a man will be a benefit not to his district only but to the State, and indeed to the whole Pacific Coast. It can hardly be necessary to point out to the peo- 'ple of the th District how important 1t is for them to have a Representative in harmony with the admin- | istrati The election of McKinley is as sure as | anything in the future can be. The apathy prevailing | |in the early days of the campaign has long since | passed away. The people have become aroused by the | menace of Bryanism to all the industries of the coun- | try and are now sufficiently aware of the danger that | lies in overconfidence. They are not going to take | | chances. Consequently the only doubtful point in the | contest 1s that of electing a2 House of Representatives to support the President. In the present House the | Republican majority is small. The loss of a very few | | seats will give the Democrats control of that impor- | | tant branch of the Government. and the best éfforts | of the administration would be then hampered hy . i Democratic obstruction for two years. The demand of every business and every industry 1&. the country is for a Republican House of Repre- | sentatives. The interests of labor and of capital alike require such a House. In each Congressional district the people should be as vigorous in supporting the candidate for Congress as in supporting the electoral ticket. California is counted on in the East to send a solid delegation to maintain sound money and pros- perity. The voters of the Sixth District must do their share. Never mind whether the Democratic candi- date make an open fight or not. No Republican should neglect the Congressional ticket. Let there be | a full vote for McLachlan and prosperity. The Board of Education, after the lashing of pub- lic censure and an investigation of municipal offi- cials, has abolished its department of repairs. This abolition does not destroy, however, the record of thousands of dollars of public money spent without warrant of law or soften the excuse of illegal acts committed under the board’s plea of ignorance.

From the tests made in the trial trip of the Wisconsin on Thursday it appears she is | the fleetest battleship of the world. The Oregon was | great, but the Wisconsin is greater. It is of course to be expected that as we advance in the work of building up our navy the new ships will show improvements over their predecessors of the same class.

The Senator has evidently received a straight on how the elections will go in these States. PROCFS FROM THE POSTOFFICE. R — ’ EPORTS recently issued from the Postoffice 1:2 showing the business for the fiscal year ending June 30 afford striking proofs of the prosperity and business activity of the country. A summary of the statistics given shows a wonderful increase in the sales of postage stamps, a revenue of $98.000,000 f om | that source alone, an increase in the use of “special request” envelopes, used almost exclusively by busi- ness men, of more than 15 per cent, and a marvelous increase in the money order business. In 1898-99 there were issued orders valued at $224,058.363. The value of those issued in 1809-1000 was $253,670.027. The report is of course simply a statement of the work of one of the great departments of the Govern- ment. It is not a campaign document. It was not prepared for the purpose of influencing voters, and yet in this contest for prosperity against the calamity party it serves as an effective argument in support of the present condition of things in all parts of the country, and consequently is a campaign document preaching in favor of the Republican party. So marked has been the prosperity of all sections of the Union that even in the Bourbon South there is a strong sentiment against the Bryanites. It is to be noted, moreover, that those who share that sentiment are not at all backward about expressing it. For ex- ample, Alexander R. Lawton, one of the foremost men of Georgia, recently announced a determination to vote for McKinley. He added that many of his ac- quaintances intended to vote the same way, and in ex- planation of his course said: We shall vote for McKinley and Roosevelt because: 1. We are Americans, and are against all of America’'s enemies. 2. We are patriotic, and are desirous of suppressing those who give aid and comfort to our enemies. 3. We are honest, and are against all efforts at dis- bonoring the natioa by currency legislation or otherwlise. 4. We are law-abiding, and are against all encourage- ment of force in the settlement of disputes. 5. We are progressive, and favor legitimate expan- sion of our commerce and our power. It will be seen that prosperity is having its®effect | | everywhere. The figures of the Postoffice show what is going on in the country, and the letters of men like Lawton show that even Democrats perceive the mean- ing of them. When people have letters to write and money orders to send or to receive, then times are good. Then people feel patriotism more than party spirit and are willing to break away from old ties and | take their stand with those who are upholding the in- dustries and the finances of the country at home, and the flag and the national prestige abroad. The senior “co-eds” of Stanford have adopted the sombrero as a class hat. The young ladies, it is hoped, have no desire of being affectionately called cow- girls, even by their Triends. The young clerk who stole $300 worth of candy with which to pay his debts the other day must have a little army of the fair sex for creditors. Our latest sensational will contest indicates that women who have a faculty for building ap a past take a very serious mortgage on the future.

MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL—We have always made it a point to let the publie who could not hear Mr. Bryan read what he had to say.
