BROWN. ta BS. OALKING, WILL DO HIS DUTY. The candidacy of E. B. Edson, the Republican nominee for Railroad Comof his district. The “of a single-taxer. * missioner in this district, gives every promise of resulting in his election by an overwhelming majority: Mr. Larue, the Democratic aspirant, has been tried in the office and h's “masterly inactivity,” his wavering and fussy policy, have earned for him the disapproval of the people generally. Mr. Edson is especially popular a nong the wage-earners and farmers of his part of the State, for they know him to be fearless and independent. in the maintenance of whatever he believes to be just and right. The official paper of the United Labor Party. is making a vigorous fight for his election. Sq is the Sacramento Bee and most of the other independent journals United— Labor paper of a few days since had this unequivocal-and ringing endorsement of Mr. Edson: “We cannot impress too strongly upon the friends of United Labor the importance. of exercising great care in the selection of candidates for Railroad Commissioners. Everything produced, used and _ bartered is more or less subject to the capacious maw of the railroad, hence it becomes imperative that we should endeavor to confine them to the profits that are reasonably right, with regard to what the trade can bear. For the first District of California for the position of Railroad Commissioner, Mr. E. B. Edson of Siskiyou county, an extensive cattle-owner and farmer, offers himself as a candidate. His politica) proclivities are Republican, but his known character for integrity is such as to pluce him beyond a breath of suspicion, as far as any partiality to party or friends would be concerned. Weare pleased to know that he was considered worthy to have the honor of a nomination ‘by his party conferred upon him. Mr. Edson is a man of practical ideas, and has lived a long time in his county, where he is thoroughly and justly ap_preciated. We -have made inquiries respecting his general qualifications, and are pleased to find, in addition to is also credited with always being in favor of the laborer réceiving proper remuneration for his service, and what he advocates he puts to daily practice, withthe result that he is justly popular with all classes of people, not only in his immediate vicinity, but in the country generally. We wish him that success that is justly due him.” DIRTY POLITICS. Last Sunday theGrass Valley Union published asa leading article a circular purporting to be sent by the Republican State Central Committee to tbe + Republican newspapers, instructing the latter as to the course they should pursue. Jt was a fraud upon its face and yesterday the TRANSCRIPT exposed its true character. This morning the Union published an obscure seven-line item under the general heading of “T.ocal News in Paragraphs” admitting in a half-hearted way the fraudulent nature of the circular, but failing to even condemn such methods. The Call of Tuesday in speaking of this circular says: Tbe fusionists who are conducting Maguire’s campaign begin to see that -they cannot win in a straightout, man-} ly fight, hence they are resorting to tricks and low down electioneering tactics. A silly circular, purporting) to emanate from the Republican State Central Committee, is now published in the Maguire press. * * ‘ In all probability thecircular was composed by a coterie of fusioni:ts and single taxers around the Maguire headquarters. * ps bad Any one reading the document will see at a glance that it emanated from the mind = We THE POPULISTIc PROTEST. “The headquarters of/ James Gallagher Maguire,” says thé News Letter, “are like nothing so much as the Adullamite cave of old. Intoit went all who were troubled with running sores, deluzions of avy kind, cross-eyes, St. Vitus’ dance, leprosy, or palsy, or who more blind or deaf. In short, everybody took shelter there who was inficted with anything abnormal ip his physical make up. In Maguire’s camp are to be found all who have ever been cross-eyed in politics, shaky on the silvery existence of the Populists is, and itch, worried about, the’ Pope, cross legged on A. P. ‘Al ism, spotted: with the earmarks of all political parties, in anguish from sore head, deaf to the teaching of reason, and blind to the real causes of prosperity. To the diseases of his motley crowd Oandidate Maguire is himself an ‘immune. He has himself; at one time or another, been the subject of the many diseases that trouble his disgruntled followers. pears to be room. enough for all, and . ° nostrums suited to each particular fancy. The only class. of people for whom there is no standing room there are men bleased with sound minds in healthy bodies—men ‘ who are either sound Démocrats, or trae Republicans, and whose blood has not been tainted with any of the many isms that are Candidate Maguire’s political ‘record, will fail to see how good a title he has amite candidate. of most of his open and avowed followers, and at once reminiscences of political follies, either past or pre arise to restrain a consistent man from casting his lot, or. that of his State, among such a crowd. “Tt if not possible to be a Democrat and a Populist at one and the same time. If it weré, why then have two distinct. and separate parties? The was intended fo be, a protest against the rule of the Democratic party.” A Morning Fracas. This morning George D. Buckley, the well-known attornéy, pleaded not guilty in Justice Holbrook’s court toa charge of disturbing the peace preferred by Constable Scott, and demanded a jury trial which is set for two o’clock next Tuésday afternoon. In the meantime Mr, Buckley is enjoying his freedom, having been permitted to go on his ownreconizance. According to Nightwatchman Kilroy the lawyer discharged a pistol. on the street at about four ‘o’clock this morning, and after the officer with a small ice-pick and jabbed him over the eye, producing a slight wound. Then the officer says he called special watchman Carr to his aid and they took Mr. Buckley to the city prison: where he languished till this morning. Buckley says his arrest and prosecution are unwarranted, atid that he will prove as much when bag trial takes place. Why Not ‘Have Both? kinds every year in Grass Valley would. support half a dozen free libraries. The amount of money doriated by the State for many years to encourage horse-racing in this county would support a public library both here and in Nevada City.” ERS — THe Demopop platform is silent on the annexation of Hawaii. General the Democracy was silent as an oyster. Why? Because Mr. Maguire, in the House, and Stephon M, White, in the Senate, voted against the acquisition of this island. It would have been a strange thing then for the Democracy to have in the same.breath commended Senator White and Mr. Maguire for voting as they did, and then approved of the very measure they opposed—as every American approves. me me An echo of the campaign of 1896 was admirably raised the other day at a Populist meeting. While it was in progress, a loyal Republican gained the platform and unfurled @ banner that tha Pops recognized as the very one they bad carried in their parades -two years ago. On it was inscribed, “A Vote for McKinley means 25 cents a bushel for wheat, and 10 cents a bushel for corn.” The guilty consciences of everyone present made argument superfluous. : ae HE-p 1s WANTED when the nerves beINDIAN WAR A — bale in Preanes 10.

Professor Joseph Le Conte of the State University. gave an address Monday evening in the Academy of Sciences Hall in San Francisco on the causes of the formation of tranverse mountains and glacial conditions in the Sierra Nevadas. According to the lecturer these mountains were the most interesting of geological studies since they were. of a comparatively recent date, say 15,000 years, or since the close of the tertiary age. He traversed the mountains from the south to the north, noting specifically the more remarkable formations, but showing that in all sections, no matter how exaggerated the lines, each proved the well-established law of mountain formation. With them the greatest altitude was toward the landward side and the long gradual slope to the ocean. He gave his theory as to the formation of Lake Tahoe. He held tbat at that part of the chain the convulsions which reformed the Sierra divided the main peak into two crests; that at the mouth of the valley formed that lava flow which was of necessity present, filled up the narrow mouth and in the great valley. gathered the waters of the beautiful sheet. ‘ He had maps to’show the changes wrought in the river beds by ites He spoke particularly of the Yosemite, with its vertical, deep walls and its flat floor, and said that this even was no exception to the laws of valley and mountain formation. Becatise it was exaggerated, he said, students were apt to lose sight of the origin and look for something unusual. He said that the same conditions were noted all over the world and that the fjords of Norway had the same characteristics. They were what might be called double force valleys. In speaking more particularly of the transverse valleys he said that they were fissures and were but a natural result of the upheaval; that they formed in proportion to the increase of the radius of the earth at that part, and were where there was a teusion, a stretching which was in proportion to the elevation. They came under the the. longitudinal depressions. BO!
