Tt isin this mood the people come to-day tothe celebration of the TFourth of. July. Theirtliouglits for the ‘time have turned away from all thie . little transitory prob- fems of the period-and are centered upon the great “aspiration 'to so ‘establish the zoveriimental policies of the Republic in accord with mianifest “destiny as to make the pathway of the future -clear. of all doubts and - hesitations. “We: have now become.the greatest of the powers. of the earth, and our populir prosperity and National grandeur are more assured than those- of any ‘other Nation:: We have become coriscious that -strength is always accompanied by responsibility, and that while the.area of our territory and the number of our population may make us a large country, it is only by living with high aims and- being devoted to néble. purposes that we'can make a great Nation. ‘Fhe rightful theme of the orators of the day is to-be found in this awakened patriotic-aspiration. Those speakers whe turn aside to- discuss the passing dissen- sions of the day will faiss the hearts of the audience and fail to arouse enthusiasm. The . people wish to hear those large, divine'and comfortable words that tell of present greatness and greater things to come. - We have heard enough of the qnestions of the time, and on this day we hope to hear something of those coming glories and -prosperities of which . the prophetic_ soul of the world has been vhispering to man ever since America was discovered. REPUBLICANS AT WORK. Now that the Republican Council of Cal- ifarnia, domposed of representatives of the leading Republican organizations- of the State, has entered upon-a campaign whose object is to secure the Republican National Convention for San Francisco, a system- atic effort to' this end has been at last un- dertaken. "It is -particularly gratifying to know that every one of the workers ap- pointed in- the foffy State Senatorial dis tricts has cheerfully accepted the task im- posed-upon him, and that these forty men aré ampng the leading and most influential Republicans of the State. Besides having in viéw the Xational .Convention, this working committee is to- sécure. iarmony and purity in the party, work for the nom- ination of the most worthy candidates, give the nominees-the earnest. support of thie party and extend sympathy and moral backing to-the candidates eleoted on the Republican ticket. Itis-particularly in the efforts to secure the National Convention that the Repub- lican‘fgrces of the State should receive the hearty: co-operation of all citizens without régard to political bias. It is easily con- ceivable that if one of the two.gfeat parties holds-‘its National -convention -here the other will follow suit, and hence there is an opportunity” for a-strong co-operative movement by these two powerful agencies to bring beth the conventionstous. In aildition to the eflicient’ work -which can thus be done the various civic organizations devoted to the advancement of the State and of its séveral parts can throw the weight: of théir influence into ‘the fight, and’ this,” with the work that can be done personally and privately by.-every citizen who has friends-in- the Eastern States, ought to ‘accomvlish’ the- greatly. desired result.. ‘Asit is also -greatly important to the othér Pacific States to have oneor both the’ conventions at San Francisco; they ean more than double the. influence which California is able to devélop. § Iiis suggested, therefore, that the Repub- licans of the.other Pacific States follow the example set' by those. in. California and begin " a: syStematic campaign. It would ‘he almost -impossible for such an. array of influence to be overcome, particularly as there are so many obvious reasons why it would be vproper ‘to hold one.or both the conventions here. Here is a grand oppor- tunity for the whole coast country to dis- play its energy and skill. The interests at stake are so grave as to call for the most earnest. efforts that our people are capable of making. It is 4 matter in which no sort of political prejudice should play a part. In starting the fight the Republicans of California have given a conspicuous evi- dence of their devotion to the interests of the State, and their efforts deserve the support of all progressive citizens. " JOURNALISM IN JAPAN. The Japanese Government objects most strenuously to one of the imported fea- tures of Western civilization, and that is altia-sensational and “fake” journalism, Besides suppressing a nmumber of news- people of thi posed. to amy the. affairs of and “seve: they have belie ht:he “papers.that were violating the proprieties in thisregard, it has destroyed the great netws-gathering :agency of ‘the empire, be- cause it sent out a ‘fake” report of an engagement between the Germman and Japanese squadrons and published a forged letter on the peace negotiations. “The value of the ‘press as a civilizing agéncy, and especially asa check on official rascality, is exceedingly great, particularly in America, owing to the looge methods of | many local governments and the absence in them of -that restraint which a free-and- | easy public sentiment fails to impose. But the. impunity which- the Américan ypress ‘enjoys under the laws guaranteeing free speech gives an opening for the invasion of irresponsible publishers in the news- paper field: It is to be noted that as arule the stronger centralized the Government the. less the freedom of the press; butthere also often goes with this circumstance an- other, and that is higher -official integrity and thg !;c}; of & mecessity for newspaper supervision. . _This is the case in Japan, whose Govern- ment is singularly free from scandal. But it is evident that the publication of such matter as that for which the news agency was suppressed, besides being false, would havean injurious effect upon the Japanese public mind. The offense was no greater, { however, than that committed daily by a -|.considerable part 6f the American press in lowering the moral tone of the public by |leading the minds of readers to dwell on | anwholesome subjects by stepping far out- side the proper road -of news. That pub- lisher who can best understand the serious -cthical obligations that environ him and whio can most firmly resist the temptation to increase his circuiation at the expense of ivis moral duty is the one who in the end wields not only an immediate influ- enve for good, but who comes to com- mand a respect which is the real measure of poiver. Japan’s -action ‘is -as much a rebuke to our sensational newspapers as a punish-. ment of her own, and that this rebuke should have comefrom a nation which was “civilized" only yesterday is as amusing as eloquent.- So long as there is abundant machinery for panderingto any unwhole- some popular appetite the tendency toward general demopralization is strengthened and the temptation to make money out of wice increased. And yet the highest decency in journalism, combined with suf- ficient energy and intelligence, is really more directly beneficial to the publisher. STOCKTON'S GLOEVIKG_ FUTURE. Tke interviews with some of Stockton’s leading men publistied in this issue of the CarL present an uncommon and exceed- ingly interesting array of facts, and they indieate a -future greatness that even the residents of the city seem not yet to have comprehended. - Although it will be a vear or longer before the Valley road will pour its great benefits into the city, there has: been already so large an increase of the population that no vacant houses are to- be had, the hotels are crowded and numbers of families are compelled to live in tents until houses can be built for them. ‘While the Valley road is to be the lead- ing factor in the development of the city there are other enterprises afoot that will have a very important effect. Firstamong these is the railroad to Corral Hollow, which, by bringing to the city an abund- ance of cheap coal, will induce the installation of extensive manufacturing plants. That this fact is well ap- preciated is shown in the active movement for securing sites for these enterprises. Next comes the irrigation of about 300,000 acres of choice fruit land near The canal is nearly completed. This immense tract will at once develop into a great colony of small farms; which must depend upon Stockton for their place of business. Then comes the electric road from Stockton to Lodi, now under rapid construction, and it will tap an exceed- ingly rich fruit region. Besides these new industrial elements which will contribute to the growth of the city are certain superior geographical ad- vantages. First, Stockton enjoys the rare advantage of a waterway to San Francisco, which means a low cost for forwarding all the manufactures and soil products, not only of the city and its immediate terri- tory but also, in connection with the Val- ley road, of the whole vast terrnitory of the San Joaquin. Next, it must always be the receiving and distributing point of the entire valley, by reason of its water facili- ties. Again, in addition to the splendid agricultural territory dependent upon it, is the rich mining region lying to the east of it. ¥ As some of the gentlemen interviewed by the CarL have truthfully said, outsiders seem more fully to appreciate the indubit- able fact that Stockton will soon become one of the leading cities of the State than do the residents themselves. Although the prices of property have risen greatly within the last few montns, there is noth- ing like a boom, and prices -are so much lower than they will soon become that those contemplating residence and the establishment of enterprises there are los- ing no time in securing land. It is highly gratifying to know that property is offered atinviting figures, and that no blighting boom has occurred. At the same time it is evident that prices will soon advance far beyond those which rute at present, and that those who neglect to make their pur- chases now will have reason to rue their negligence. One of thé most comforting aspects of Stockton’s budding greatness is the fine spirit of intelligence and enterprise that animates its residents. The promptness and generosity with which they extended inducements to the Villey road were an exhibition of a broad and masterly under- standing and should serve as a lesson to every community in California. After all it is men that make a city. Identically the same popular spirit that has made Chicago so wonderful a monument of human sagacity is moving the people of Stockton to-day, and the effect is bound to be felt and seen. Abundant as are the natural and industrial advantages which Stockton enjoys, the leading factor of its future is the high character of its people. To-day the city will have the most eiab- orate Fourth of July celebration in its history. It will be a spectacle worth many miles of travel to see, and its best feature will be its evidences of a type of citizen- ship which should serve asan exampleand an inspiration. THE WEEKLY OALL. The current issue of the WErKLY CALL carries the high standard of excellence which characterizes the paper. The WEEKLY CALL is prepared with the double |. view of giving a complete compendium of the week’s news for coast readers who do not take the daily and of giving a most valuable array of California’s attractions and resources for the instruction of East- ern and foreign readers. Besides this it has all the useful and entertaining features so highly esteemed in homes. It would not be possible for any Cali- fornian to furnish his Eastern friends with so much satisfying information concern- ing the State as by sending them the WeekLY Carn for a year. The cost is so trivial and the benefit conferred so great that such a gift to a friend at a distance would be both sensible and graceful, Every Californian should remember, further, that it is his duty to- spread the good news of the delights which accompany a residence in California, and that the WEEkLY CALL presents the best, cheapest and easiest means for accomplishing that end. AROUND THE CORRIDORS. Thomas H. Caswell, lieutenant grand com- mander of the Supreme Council 33 degree A. and A. 8. R., Southern Masonic jurisdiction of the United States, sat in the rotunda of the Palace Hotel yesterday aiternoon lunching ‘with Niles Searls. Suddenly in the midstof a cup of black coffee the latter gentleman looked over his glasses and said: “Thomas, do you remember where you were July 4. 18497" The Judge replied instantly, “I was in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with 300 emigrants prepsring for a fight with Indians.” He lapsed into silence and stroked his beard slowly. . “And?” answered the jurist in an inquiring tone. “You wish to know more of it, do you?” re- sumed tbe Judge, smiling as though it were a good joke to keep Mr. Searls waiting a moment. “Ill tell you all I know of it. Ididn’t do any fighting myself, but like various other people we know of I was near it.”’ Mr. Caswell chewed his cigar a moment, rolled it around in his mouth and wetched the smoke curl upward as he meditated on where to begin. “I left Ar- kansas some months before with a party of some 300 overland emigrants with a view to getting into California as best I could. The trip was sprinkled with the usual eventful in. | | l cidents of such journeys: Indians, bad weather and no water. “‘We had organized e military body and had & company of infantry under Captain Marsey which wassent out by the Governor as & guard for us. Well, I won't annoy you with the de- tails of the trip from Arkansascovering the en- tire route, but when we arrived in Santa Fe ou the afterncon of the 3d of July we learned that the Comanches and the Apaches—very bad In- dians, Niles—had banded together and were prepating to run off 5000 head of cattle belong- ing to some settlers thirteen miles south of the city. A company, or rather two companies now Ithinkof it, were being forined under a Captain Chapman to go on the warpath and puta stop to the business bf cattle-stealing. We saw them leave the town and wished them the usual good luck and whole skins.”” The narrator stopped herg and chuckled to himself in & manner which®indicated that be had re- called something very funny. His mirth lasted nearly a minute. Presently he picked up the thread of his story and went on: “The Indians cleaned out both companies, drove most of them, the soldiers, back to Santa Fe and stampeded the cattle into their own country. They even took some of the paleiaces’ horses. Inever saw 0 many disappointed men in one bunch in my life.” “Where did your fighting occur, Thomas? You haven't told me that yet,” inquired Mr. Searls. 3 “Well, I'm coming to that in & moment. You see when the defeated hosts came back to Santa Fe with nothing but disgust we emi- grants concluded that it was our duty to form acompany and give them a few lessons in the art of handling redskins. With this end in view we got all the able-bodied men together we were able to muster, and on the morning of the Fourth proceeded to take.the trail. In the afternoon we came up to the two bands, but they seemed to surmise our coming, and the moment we came in sight they put spurs to their ponies and disappeared ina cloud of dust among the low rolling hills of the plains. It was useless to follow them, because their ani- mals had the advantage of a fresh start, having rested the whole morning and part of the night before, while an edvance guard drove the stolen cattle into some safe retreat. Of course we came back empty-handed, but we were not asunfortunate as Chapman’s company. After that we took up our march again and arrived in San Diego in October just in time to get ina vote for the adoption of the constitution of California. Iwas from a slave State myself, but voted for the constitution of a free State. “That Indian experience was about the worst I encountered while coming across the plains, but since then I have seen many more distressing sights in the midst of civilization. The reign of the palefaced desperado was much worse than anything the emigrants en- countered in the overland travel, and the bad red man is seldom much worse than the bad white man. Niles, the traditional bad man of 1849 was a pretty hard crowd.” PERSONAL. Dr. 8. L. Blake of Weaverville is at the Grand. Rev. Father Kelly of Cedar Hill is at the Occi- dental. . R.

JUDGE CAMPBELL IN THE PULPIT. [Reproduced from an engraviig in the Wasp.] printer for sixty-six years. He 1§ now 80 years old, but can stick typé as rapidly. o] says: It is always: the unexpected that happen even in opera. ‘Who, for instance; even in his | wildest flights of fancy, could have predicted the latest craze in:lyric drama?: Five years ago, when the 1 furor with jts réaiistic plot of_low life, aif the c¢omposers who wantéd to imitate Mascagni's success, began: to. write renlistic eperas, on librettos describing the loves and hates of low, vulgar people, who bit- one another’s eafs, and Xknifed one another. ' The ‘moré the l{brettist wanted to succeed, the more they piled-horrors on horror’s head, till the critics -predicted that | the coming opera would be little better thana lurid extra to ‘the police gazette, and pointed to such works -as “Sania Lucia”and !‘Le Mar: tire,” as a proof that thé new opera was an utterly unfit entértaitment for: the young per- son. . And what has happened? Why the un- expected of course. Humperdinck’s fairy opera began ifs triumphal careér & year arda half ago, and now ‘the composers_hiave turned their backs on realism .and are producing our children’s fairy tales for their plots.

An Exodus to the Country on Account of Half-Rate Fares. The half-rate fares made by the different railways for the Fourth of July have tempted great crowds to travel. Thou- sands of City folk left town last evening for all points of interest within easy distance of San Francisco, and from these indica- tions the railway men expected that a gen- eral exodus would take place this morn- ing. Special arrangements were made to accommodate unusually large crowds by the Southern Pacific on_all its lines leav-' ing San Francisco, and also by the San Francisco and North Pacific and the North Pacific Coast railroads. The summer tourist travel has been much heavier than in former years. Sixteen cars full of tourists arrived yesterday from Los Angeles and Oregon, and still more left town. These, added to the holiday outing throngs, have made the railway men exceedingly busy. ————————— - Passing a Forged Check. Thomas Parry, 320 Minna street, swore out a ‘warrant in Judge Joachimsen’s court yesterday for the arrest of Washinjgton Frank on a charge of forgery.

It does this by purifying and vitalizing the blood. Take only Hood's, B e theater was 5o resplendent. People: were packed .in every-corner; even -the corridors were crowded, and the seats " seld for §ve times their ordinary value. Mme. Patti received an ovation; applause and hurrahs broke out from all sides, and in the third act there was fren- zied enthusiasm. - You know what Patti used to be in ‘Traviata.’ Well, as singer and actréss she has remained the same as ever, her voice having preserved all -its purity and freshness. She was marvelous—that is the only word. 1 can use. The public, delighted to see her again in opera, after eleven. years, was' literally. in ecstaciés and did not give the least sign of im- | patience during the long entr'actes, which made the representation last till midnight.

Patti and completed an interpretation which was absolutely irreproachable.” The exuberant manner in which some por- tions of the local press let: itself loose on the prospect of the Oakland Ysaye Conservatory has given occasion . to Eastern - paragraph ‘writers to wax scornful. “It is to be feared that Ysaye is amusing himself at’ the expenise ! of the good people of Oakland, Cal.," says the New York Tribune, before. quoting Ysaye's letter, and it adds:~ “What sort of an idea the Oakland people have of a Conservatory of Music is indicated by the following. statement. from the 8dn Francisco Examiner: It is proposed to erect a-pavilion with a seating capacity of 10,000. An orchestra of several hundred voices, composed Gf the young' people ot Oaxland, under the direction of Ysaye, would- pra- sent grand opera ‘on & magnificent” scale. It is expected that the schaol would-attract students from all over the world. 3 “Itis to be expected- that students would [ indeed be attracted, if only for the curiosity of seeing an ‘orchestra composed of voices. and ‘grand opera on & magnificent scale,’ presented “by the young people of & conservatory.” Mme.
