It Is About That Way.

By Editor

The Commercial Traveler of October had the following note on politics in the West, which the late election seems to demonstrate applies as well to the East:—

"Curious elements are entering into California politics this campaign. As if the issues of railroad monopoly, labor and capital, and the tariff were not enough for party contention, religious differences must needs be brought into the fight. The Roman Church and the A. P. A. are warring to the death, and both look to the ballot box to declare the victor; as though religious strife was ever settled with the armaments of peace. The American patriot is too late with his cry of alarm, and, having ever had the history of the world before him as a warning, he has only himself to blame if the enemy is already in the citadel of his institutions. Rome will rule this land or go down in a sea of blood."
