ORGANIZING FOR GOOD GOV- ERNMENT. OR the purpose of rousing public interest F the approaching municipal election, and to as- sure the success of honest politics under the new primary law, the Republican Primary League was It was never the intention of the founders of the league nor of those who have since united with it to make use of it in advancing the fortunes of any can - or set of candidates; neither was it, nor is it, the intention to use it to antagonize any can- didate. Its objects were and are those of awakening the people to a sense of the importance of primary elections and of promoting genuine Republicanism. In order to accomplish those purposes the league set about organizing Republican clubs in the various Assembly districts. They have received a gratifying support from the genuine Republicans of the city, and of their effectiveness there is no question. Events now occurring show how important such organiza- tions are. The bosses, whose very names are a by- word and a reproach to the politics of the city, have found support from men like the Governor of the State, Lynch of the Federal brigade and Herrin of the Southern Pacific. Had there been no organiza- tion on the part of the league the better elements of the Republican party would now be at a hopeless dis- advantage in the contest, and the chances of nomi- nating a party ticket that will command the confidence of the people would be slight indeed. It is to be borne in mind that in effecting the or- ganization of genuine Republicans in the district clubs the league gave every assurance that the work was to be done in the interests of the party and of the city, and not of individuals. An advisory committee was pointed, made up of men who are well known not y in politics but in business and professional cir- cles, and whose names are a guarantee of every pledge made by the league. It is therefore with undoubted right that the league claims the support of all stanch and true Republicans in the contest against the pre- datory bosses and their unscrupulous allies. Such being the issues that confront the Republicans of San Francisco, there ought to be no hesitation on the part of any good and true upholder of the party and its principles to urite with the clubs of the league and take an active share in the work for honest poli- tics and good government. Any kind of indifference or negl e of political duties at this time is vir- y a consent to boss domination, for the only al- ternative to genuine Republicanism is just that kind of control o tu There is one thing certain—the people of San Fran- not elect a ticket nominated by boss dicta- tion if there be any other kind of ticket presented to them. It is, morcover, well known that there is more independence of spirit among Republicans than among Democrats, and therefore the chance of a boss ticket bearing the Republican party name will be less than that of one bearing the Democratic name. If, then, Republicans surrender their party to the bosses they will virtually surrender the city to the Demo- crats. The issue is made up. The appeal goes to stanch and true Republicans to unite to save San Francisco politics from the evil that threatens. The only sure way to defeat boss domination is for Republicans to organize for good government. e sco will The announcement that Austin Dobson is to retire | from the British civil service with a pension brings to light the fact that the poet has for many years been engaged in the work of protecting fish, and yet there is nothing in his poetry that suggests a scaly occupa- tion. 1f we cannot get new contractors for street clean- +ing, the Mayor might at least require the old ones to buy a new broom. HERRIN AND HIS TACTICS. HEN President Hays returns to San Hran- Wciscu he will do well to give his undivided attention for a while to the political adven- tures of W. F. Herrin, who uses and abuses the office | 6f attorney for the Southern Pacific Company. In- deed, he would do better, perhaps, if he would give his attention to the subject now and submit the mat- ter to the directors of the road when he meets them in New York. Judged by his activities Herrin, like Cerberus of old, is a three-headed dog with a serpent’s tail; one head serves the Southern Pacific, another serves the Spring Valley Water Company, while the third serves the Market Street Railway Company. As for the ser- pentine tail of him, it is forever wriggling and squirm- ing and pecisoning where it can in California politics. President Hays has given orders that the employes of the Southern Pacific Company shall give their energies to the business for which they are paid and keep out of politics. That order Herrin has not obeyed. Doubtless President Hays sees to it that Herrin uses none of the money of the Southern Pa- cific Company in his political adventures, but that does not prevent him from using the money of the water company and that of the street railway corpora- tion; nor, so long as he holds an important office in the Southern Pacific Company, does it prevent him from using the prestige of that position to fur- ther his schemes. In his political adventures Herrin has chosen to array himself against the people of San Francisco and ally himself with Boss Kelly. His reason for doing so is not due wholly to the personal charms and con- geniality which he finds in Kelly’s companionship. The two are acting together because it is mutually profitable. By putting their tools into office Kelly is able to work certain jobs which are remunerative more remunerative. By the use sometimes of Spring Valley money, sometimes of the street railroad money, sometimes of Southern Pacific money, and sometimes of all three, Herrin has been able through his alliance with Kelly to get some of his creatures on the State Board of Equalization, the Railroad Commission and even on the judicial bench. Having put his creatures into those offices he makes the fullest use of them to his own advantage. It is not solely for the corporations that he uses them, for in addition to the three offices which he holds as attorney he also does a shrewd law business on his own account. Having the reputation of having a secret but powerful influence with the bench, he is able to be of use to clients who have big cases and who can pay big fees. As an illustration of his method of doing business in that way the fact may be cited that he is to receive a princely fee in the Fair will case. It is not known that he made any argument in that case or did any other legal work in it, and yet he is to be paid a large sum for his service. So far as appears from the record his service con- isted solely in signing his name to a brief. Of courseno sane man will believe that he was so richly rewarded for the mere use of his name. It is evident that he was able to extract the promise of a large sum from the litigants only because he was believed to have influence with the bench and had a pull on the deci- sion. In short, Herrin uses the money of corpora- tions to support corrupt bosses, uses the bosses to put corrupt men in office and on the bench, and then uses those corrupt creatures as a means of enriching himself. These facts of Herrin's career are not matters of guesswork. He has been secret and he has been cun- ning, but he has not been able to hide his trail Should President Hays or the directors of the road choose to make an investigation they can find abun- dant evidence that Herrin’s dirty work in politics is done as well for his private practice as for the cor- porations he is supposed to serve. If, therefore, the order of President Hays concerning the misuse of railroad influence and money in political intrigues is not to become a farce Herrin must go. Professor Starr of the University of Chicago is quoted as having said recently that if the American people “gxclude all foreign immigrants it will take only a few years for the Indian to haunt his old-time pastures again.” Surely President Harper will even- tually get on to thosc professors of his and shoot a star or two by way of a lesson to the rest. THE BULLFIGHTS AT OMAHA. UFFALO'’S exposition, with all its industrial B exhibits and Midway attractions, has hardly caused so much talk in the East this summer as the series of bullfights at Omaha. It is only fair to Omaha to say at once that the people there do not | refer to the shows as bull “fights.” They assert that no horses are used, that the bulls are not killed, and that the contests between the various performers and the bulls bear no more relation to a Spanish bullfight than does a well ordered sparring match to a prize- fight. The assertions of the Omaha people are in a meas- ure correct. It appears that no bull has been killed in the ring, and no attempt has been made to kill one, but none the less the one element of attraction pos- sessed by the sport is that of danger. The bulls are prodded, tormented and lanced uatil they become en- raged, and then the game consists in seeing whether the toreadors can escape the horns of the maddened animal. In one of the exhibitions a matador slipped before the bull, and ere he could rise or assistance be given the bull gored him and tossed him up in the air, breaking two of his ribs. Several other casual- ties almost as bad occurred at other exhibitions, and it is seemingly an expectation of witnessing some- thing of the kind that has drawn the spectators to crowd the avena. A reporter describing the scene when a'toreador was struck by a bull and knocked over says: ‘“Spec- tators stood on seats and roared shouts of excited comment, shrieking in a hysteria of diabolical delight at the plight of the toreador, hurling improvised darts of pin-stuck sticks at the animal’s sides, sending a shower of seat cushions into the arena, shouting jo- cosely as the maddened, foam-streaked animal turned | first to the toreador, who had fallen under his hoofs and lay panting, struggling, yelling, then sought to hook his horns into the flying cushions. The interest- ing features of agility of the toreadors and the usually comical evolutions of the bulls in turning against their tormentors were considered tame by the spectators, | who desired something of even more dangerous char- lacter than was being exhibited for them. They -wanted either a bull’s life or a toreador’s life to get their money’s worth.” ~ g Admitting that the exhibitions so far given have not been so bad as those of Mexico or of Spain, it can nevertheless be safely said that if they continue it will not be very long before a demand will be made for the “real thing.” In fact, one of the promoters of the exhibition is reported to have said: “We have | | to him, and Herrin works others which are even, | L |hopefu1 pay no attention to them. been given the name of holding brutal exh‘ihitions and real bullfights. ‘Such being the case, we might as well have the game.” That opinion will eventually be shared by the spectators. It would seem, there- fore, that the Omaha enterprise is one that should not be encouraged. From bull baiting to bull fight- ing the step is but a short one, and there is no good to be gained in tolerating even the beginning of such a movement. e ————— A Connecticut woman followed a peddler for a mile, then knocked him down with a rock and robbed him of $15. After that who will say the new woman is not up with the procession? S San Francisco have made a visit of inspection to Mare Island Navy-yard and have noted both the magnitude of the plant and the comparatively little use that is being made of it, there is good reason for expecting they will exert their influence to obtain from Congress the appropriations required to make such improvements as are necessary, and also to bring about a fuller use of the existing plant than is now being made by the Navy Department. There can be no question of the imperative need of a new drydock at Mare Island and of a deeper channel. At the present time the construction of new battleships and other war vessels has gone beyond the navy-yard facilities for taking care of them. On this coast the Oregon, the Wisconsin and the Iowa are awaiting repairs, and all three of them have been sent to Bremerton, on Puget Sound. There each of them has to await its turn, and as the Wisconsin and Iowa have precedence, it will probably be several months before the much needed repairs on the Ore- gon can be made. In the meantime the work of constructing a new drydock at Mare Island waits. In describing the sit- uation concerning it to the visiting merchants Mr. Campbell, secretary of the Vallejo Chamber of Com- merce, said: “There was appropriated $750,000 for a new dock, large enough for battleships, to be made of wood. A contract was let. Then our Congress- men thought it would be better to have it made of stone. They got an additional $300,000 appropriation. But the contract had already been signed, and the contractors demanded.more money for building it of stone. A naval board met and returned a report in- jurious to the contractors. The contractors de- murred and asked for payment of interest on the money they had already tied up. A second board met, and its report is now pending in Washington. This has dragged on for eighteen months.” It is certainly within the scope of their rightful in- terest in public affairs that our merchants and other citizens of influence should insistently urge the Navy Department to sign the contract for the stone dry- dock and go ahead with the work. It cannot be con- structed in a day, and the sooner it is begun the better. It is worth noting in this connection that the fact that three battleships are awaiting a chance to enter the drydock at Bremerton has aroused the active spirits of the Puget Sound cities to make an earnest effort to procure the construction of another drydock of the largest class at that point. It therefore be- hooves the people of California to present the claims of Mare Island at once and keep them present in the minds of Congress and of the administration untitl the desired work is obtained. \ The issue is one of interest to the whole nation: The Puget Sound stations can never be wholly safe so long as the British retain their tremendous and formidable military and naval station at the straits through which the Sound opens to the sea. The Mare Island Navy-yard is safe, and in time of war a ship more or less disabled would never have to pass anywhere near an enemy’s guns in seeking it for repairs. Moreover, it is the center of all the com- merce on this side of the Pacific. The nation can- not afford to have a second-rate naval station at Mare Island, nor can it afford to leave unused the magnificent facilities that have been already estab- lished there. For those reasons the people of San Francisco and of California will have ample grounds to justify their insistence that the Navy Department and Congress shall each in its way build up and make use of the station. To that end they should unite, and every member of Congress from California whether Senator or Representative, should be pledged to do whatever lies in his power to promote the movement. \ MARE ISLAND NAVY-YARD.

SECURITIES MULTIPLYING. EPORTS from New York show considerable R anxiety among financial experts concerning the probable effect upon the welfare of the country of the extraordinary increase in the number of securities of all sorts and values that have been placed upon the market. It appears that these at- tractions for investors have become almost numerous enough to afford Wall street securities and stocks to throw at the birds if the brokers should care to amuse themselves in that way while the weather is too hot to make it pleasant to burn anything. According to a recent statement of the Financial Chronicle there were listed on the New York Stock Exchange during the first six months of this year new issues of bonds to the amount of $161,678 500, which just about equals the amount listed altogether during the first half of the four _preceding years. Bonds issued to replace old securities (in many cases stocks) aggregated $226,978 400 additional in the half year. At the same time the listings of stock, includ- ing new issues and to take up old issues, aggregated $1,273,587,575—a volume never before even partially approached. ‘When to that report there is added the further in- formation that the speculative boom in enterprises of various kinds has led to the issue of a large amount of stocks and bonds not listed on the exchange, it will be seen that the opportunities for the investment of money are ample enough to suit all tastes and all conditions of wealth, It is questionable what is to be the effect of these new issuies. There are some optimists who look upon them as the natural outcome of prosperity, while others believe them to constitute an overproduction of securities which is sooner or later to have a bad effect upon finance and industry. Warnings in plenty have been given by the alarmists, but of course the Prudent people, however, will be wary of investing too much in a market that is so suddenly swollen by the multipli- cation of securities. There seems to be something like a craze in the business which will have to run' its course, but as to what the end will be let no man prophesy unless he knows.

In 1842 Louis Napoleon, who afterward be- came Emperor, proposed to build a ship canal across Nicaragua. The Govern- ment of Nicaragua proposed o do the same thing in 1846. Colonel O. W, Childs made a survey in 1851 for an American company that was to have a charter for cighty-five years, but the capitalists who had promised funds withdrew, so noth- ing came of the project. Cornelius Van- derbilt was at the head of the movement. In 1876 a route was surveyed to Greytown on the Atlantic with San Juan, the canal to continue on the north bank of that river to San Carlos, at which point navigation on the San Juan begins, then by canal to Lake Nicaragua, then through the valley ot Rio del Medio and Rio Grande to Brito on the Pacific. i A CHANCE TO SMILE.
