Aside from lug rates of transportation-- an in cubus from which are also soo to be relieved--the lu'gh price of coal owe of the most serious drawbacks wit which roauufiietuiing industries in Kre no have to contend. The managers of tl Fresno coal mine are confident that UK can deliver their coal in this city at price less than one-half now paid coal of less value for heating pu poses, and less than one-four the price paid for hard coal Chca coal means cheap power for nmrmfu luring which uioans the Yalopmeni ol enterpri which could uot be engaged in witho cheap fuel. The importance of the a ditjon of cheap coal to our many oth magnificent resouices can hardly 1 overestimated. Great manufacture canters have been built up solely on count of their accessioilily to inexhaus ible supplies uf cheap fue and we believe that Mnjje of hills an mountains which form the wefatei boundary of this valley furnish tl inexhaustible supply of fuel necessar ta the building up of a great manufactu ing center in the richest of all of Caiifo nia's great valleys.

What docs he think of it? Does he not, in moments when he loses sight of that office that President Cleveland is going to give him in case he is re-elected, feel that he is playing a rather despisable part toward the Oregon voters? What does the esteemed Examiner think, in its sober moments when its political armor is laid off--what does ft think of its attitude toward the city and the men from which it draws its support?

Tho following intorestitifj Horn IH'ared in the Call of Tuesday "A gentleman of this city uliolmsjuat returned from Washington, and who is on the most intimate terms with Senator Iceland Stanford, tttated to a Call representative yettterday that Senator Stanford had finally (signified his willingness to allow his name to come before the Republican National ton vent ton itt Chicago a candidate for the presidency, and that tho senator, having at last readied that conclusion, is desirous of the support of the delegation from California to the National convention." The above has been supplemented by telegraphic reports from Washington in which Mr, Stanford is represented as Haying in effect that while he is not seeking the presidential nomination, he would accept it if offered to him.

We have a very distinct recollection that, at the time when Mr. Stanford's senatorial candidacy was first mentioned, be also stated that he was not seeking that high 'honor, but could not refuse to accept it if it were thrust upon him by his friends, The exact manner in which the senator- ship was thrust upon Mr. Stanford ia not so definitely knowu and clearly understood, perhaps, that it can be stated in exact terms, but enough is known concerning that matter to us in. drawing the conclusion that if Mr. Stanford is merely "in the hands of his friends" iu this matter of the presidential nomination in the same way tbat he was in the senatorial contest, be may reasonably be reckoned a candidate for the presidency.

THE learns with regret that Senator Stanford desires the Republican party to make him their nominee for president, and we hope the good sense which has chnracterizeed some of bis public and private acts will prevent him from following up a disastrous ambition. We say we learn this with regret, not because we think Mr. Stanford will be either nominated or elected, but because think Senator Stanford's political ambition has already sufficiently impaired the Republican party of of this? fetate, and we do not ish the 1 party to now be forced to faee the result of even an attempt to capture the California delegation to the national convention for that distinguished gentleman. We do not believe that tue California delegation can be secured for Senator but in the light of the knowledge of the manner in which conventions of both parties this state have been i aptured how legislatures, no matter which party was dominant, have been manipulated; how a largo number of newspapers on both sideb and an army of Iiai'o been JSiibei- bj the political bureau of the Southern Pacific Railroad comp.my, it is not safe to assert that such a thing is impossible. Now should Mr.

The only opinion can express IB in regard to tbii state. The icbiilt in California be to utk'iiy demoralfap the Ke- pulflicun pirf, to split it in twain nnd make its defeat an easv niaUei by the Democratic minority. Them in no question about lliin. Tlio political machine may be no manipulated Ihiit the Southern Pacific mil toad secures its political triumphs, but when it comes to the ijticslion of tbo highest possible endorsement of the president of that company fo Uiu voting masses of the Republitan p-nty, not only will thai cn- ilorsement be refuged, but scores and uf the host Holdleis in the paity's ranks fVnrc lo (bo PJH i renoun ty Jiml vofo i they have cheiiHhud and in i they believe.

It is it lutrd thiitft for a man to desert a party which he has long helped to t-ui-tain, of the record of shi'-h he is proud, and in tho avowed piim-iples of which he hehcvcs, but Jiaidi'j- than lhi.4 is i) for Ihc average, intelligent voter in California to give his support and endorrtenieni to magnate of the Southern Tai-itic railroad. At the very outset Tin: Kr.i'lMii.H'AN protests against, the plan to dismember the Ucpubliean 1'urty, beeause it ob- tltat oitlior cowardk'o or cupidity on (he part of ninny prominent papers of (his htatc has already canned thorn to take non-eomnii'tal attitude, and in this couise it sees the danger that the voiee of the people may not be hoard in time to prevent a consummation which would be (lie Hie destruction of Iho party. These things we say because we believe them to be true, and beeuuso we believe that the interests of thft Republican party demand that they be said by every paper which is honest in its allegiance to the party. As a private citizen Senator Stanford is known as a man of brains and energy who has done many things which have proven not only private but a public benefit and for such he descrvea full credit, but his connection with the I'acific railroad monopoly has been and is such that the political parJy which attempts to lift him to the highest place in tho gift of the nation i only succeed iu sinking itself into an eternal and deserved oblivion. A POLITICAL 9TVDY.

Tho mugwumps are not quite so we plondod with GtaVolimd BH they one wore. Tlio recent exposures of the co: tempt with which thu administration tlieir darling idoa of civil vice reform have made them unhappy We had occasion some days ago 1 notice tho circular addressed to the York postmasters, authorized by Atwfe ant Secretary of the Treasury Maynai and 1'ublic Printer Benedict, in whlc the poetniABterft were requested to use the time paid for by the government i ascertaining the political affiliations an tendencies of their neighbors for tl benefit of a Democratic bureau of i formation at Washington. Referring this now famous circular, George ham Curtis says iu Harper's Weekly: The exposure of the scheme toconve postmasters into local political spies the benefit of the party of the admini tration promptly arrested public atta lion, and compelled a change in tl plan of operations. The scandal immediately apparent, and the expoau has been of great service. It seems, however, that exposure ai remonstrance have not prevented tl issue of the circulars.

It putting the service into politics in a ner which flouts and defies the pres dent's warning, and it discredits tin ridicules his public declarations. It seems to us that tho head of the ministration is bound to ascertain t' facts, and if as alleged, to show the most public and unmistakable ma ner bis disapproval. Silence and i action can be interpreted by the su ordinate officers of the administratto in one way only. If an assistant seer fary of the treasury can cogngo iu tli kind of campaign work without censure and with implied every poi master and subordinate officer iu i. country is justified in believing not on that he may do likewise, but the mo zealously the better.

Close on the heels of this exposu cotnes the evidence of William Dudli Foulke, president of the Civil Servi Reform Association of Indiana, befo the senate special committee on th subject. The general effect of 31 Foulke's testimony will appear from tl following passage: "On the whole," Senator Hale, tl chairman of the committee asked, "ho has civil service reform been received Indiana? Has it been a success failure?" We have not had aay civil servii reform in Indiana," promptly replie Mr. Foulkc. "So far us it bo forced I presume it is beneficial, but has never boon enforced." Only active political workers on 11 Democratic side were appointed Mr. Foulke btated numerous cases which the postal service had been pled by politics.

Political strikers wci made latter carriers, and in one case tli carrier was unable to read the addres on letters. Mail accumulated in. etrce boxes until they were tull and could re ecive no more. In one instance it ha tukcu three weeks for a letter to be livered from one part of the city I another. Mr.

Foulke called on th president to remonstrate against the wn tilings were being done but tbc prysklon only wiifl he was sorry Mr. Foulko h.t taken all that trouble to make invest gat ions.

The English are uot BO shrewd as they might be, however thrifty they usually arc. Tlieir newspapers do not hesitate tocordually indorse every Democratic effort at Ifree trade jiwt as if it were a special en'aci- meut in favor of Great Britain.

That is the rotund Britisher's most sensitive part. Sharp enough wljen it comes to matters of barter, the selfish tradesman sees in a reduction or obliteration of the tariff a sure cf lance to flood the splendid nmikets of America with his wares to his enormuus profit. It is thoughtless on the part of the Engliph newspapers to betray his joy over such a prospect, Tiie inscrutible part of this whole tariff matter, as it stands, is that leaders of American thought should appear quite its jovial over the prospect of the overthrow of manufacturing in America aa our English cousins are.

However, there is happily HO danger that the tinkers will have as much strength with the mechanics of America as have with those of England. The position of Mills and Cleveland and Carlisle and the late Mr. Morrison, in the front pews of the Democratic organization, finds a parallel only in the negro woman who, after With much show of indignationj she resented the imputation by exclaiming: "I aint gwino ter risk my 'ternal salvation jess ease of an old hen or --Sacramento Hoe, TJIK KEPVBUCMN prints twice tbc mount of telegraphic newt- of any daily paper published in this valley, and jiivefa i i readers from twelve to sixteen, hours ahead of the Sun Francisco morning papers fused to allow mu to ate imy pcrsou cx- ci'pt my sister."
