JULY 12, 1895 FRIDAY ¢~ THE CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL. P Stand up on the right side. The crisis compels every citizen to be a critic. Public sentiment is a buzzsaw for ras- cality. with a buzzsaw meet the Eight monke; game fate as one. The enforcement of the law [is the pro- tection of the people. Shall we have the street railways under the law or above the law? The people wish to execute the law, but ihe monopoly desires to kill it. The Cuban insurgents have control either of the telegraph wires or the situa- tion. The man who devised the “extension” dedge has the big head, but it is liable to soreness. Before this thing is over the Selid Eight will find out the law is loaded with a penalty. If some people had their way the lottery itself would be a lottery manipulated by monopoly. In declaring for justice, equity and hon- esty the voice of the people becomes truly the voice of God. Calling a new franchise “an extension” doesn’t change its nature nor enable it to dodge the statute. After all the Solid Eight may confer a public benefit by adopting a course that will forfeit their offices. 1 The new members of the Board of Health would like to take their seats by sitting down on office-seekers. Public opinion is the fender that will prevent street railways from running over the statutes of the State. The “mene, mene, tekel, upharsin” that Gorman has been reading wears petti- coats and means business. Home industry in one of its important phases means the vindication of home rule by the enforcement of home laws. The broom wielded by the Merchants’ Association will now have to look for in- jurious debris otherwhere than on the streets. Cornell’s defeat on the Thames will have to be borne until we can train and send to England a rowing crew from our State Uni- versity. Fresno's generosity in agreeing to donate the site and buildings for a pipe and pave- t manufac hows that the right t of enterprise animates it. When an Englishman organizes a trust in .this country he shows what he thinks of the competitive idea on which the free- trade policy of Great Britain is founded. The California marksmen in the great National Schuetzenfest at New York have sustained the reputation in their line which the Berkeley boys gave us in theirs. The statute regulating the granting of 1 franchises intended for the ‘benefit of the public and not for the advan- tage of corrupt corporations and officials of easy virtue. That citizen, whether private or official, who sets himself up as a barrier to the progress of reform in this City, has under- taken a contract for the performance of ‘which he cannot expect the people to pay. In securing, through the Board of Super- visors, the enactment of rules requiring wheelmen to observe reasonable caution on the score of speed, the San Jose bicyclers have set an example of wisdom that will tend to promote this delightful pastime. The meeting at Metropolitan Hall this evening under the augpices of the Manu- facturers’ and Producers’ Association for the purpose of considering the question of “Patronizing Homs Industries” will show by its attendance how many there are among us who want California to prosper. 1i the denial that General Ezeta is going to return to Salvador for the purpose of overturning the present Government may be depended on, we must regard his recent acquisition of a splendid new uniform from Paris as merely a manifestation of one of those harmless idiosyncrasies which used to distinguish Emperor Norton when he flourished here as (Dei gratia) Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico. Los Angeles has soflong been considered the home of the rustler that San Francis- cans will be surprised to note the picture entitled ““The Sleeping Beauty,” and pub- lished in the Los Angeles Herald and re- produced in this issue of THE CaLL. It is well known that Los Angeles is a beauty, but nobody except one of her own sons would ever dare to speak of her as “sleepy.” It is quite probable that this cartoon is intended by the Herald as a bit of domestic pleasantry, a hint to be heeded only within the family circle. It is in that sense that it is accepted and reproduced by Tre CaLn for the entertsinment of the people of the State. THE ACT OF 1893. A crisis has arrived. No man or set of men should be above the law; no citizen, however poor or humble, should be be- neath its protection. Public servants should not be permitted to violate the law with impudent impunity. If the sense of honor does not restrain, the fear of pun- ishment should deter them. Here is the law of California, which the Solid Eight are defying, ignoring, tramp- ling under foot: An Act providing for the sale of rail- road and other franchises in municipali- ties and relative to granting franchises. Approved March 23, 1893, The people of the State of California, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows : Section 1. Every franchise or privilege to erect or lay telegraph or telephone wires, to construct or operate railroads along or upon any public street or high- way, or to exercise any other privilege whatever hereafter proposed to be granted by the Board of Supervisors, Common Council or other governing or legislative body of any county, city and county, city, town or district within this State, shall be granted upon the conditions in this act provided, and mnot otherwise. The fact that an application for such franchise or privilege has been made to such Board of Supervisors, Common Council or other governing or legisla- tive body, together with a statement that it is proposed to grant the same, must first be advertised in one or more daily newspapers of the county, city and county, city, town or district wherein the said franchise or privilege is to be exercised. Such advertisement must continue every day for at least ten days, and must commence at least thirty days before any further action of the Board of Supervisors, Com- mon Council or other ‘governing or legislative body. The advertise- ment must state the character of the franchise, or privilege, proposed to be granted, the term of its continuance, and, if a street railroad, the route to be tra- versed, and the day on which tenders will be received for the same. Onthe day so stated the board, or other governing or legislative body herein mentioned, must meet in open session and read the tenders. The franchise, or privilege, must then be awarded to the highest bid- der; provided, however, that nothing in this section shall affecta special privi- lege granted for a shorter term than two years. Sec. 2. Any member of any Board of Supervisors, Common Council or other governing or legislative body of any county, city and county, city, town, or district of this State who, by his vote, violates, or attempts to violate, the provi- sions of this act, or any of them, shall be guilty of a misiemeanor and of malfeas- ance in office and be deprived of his of- fice by the decree of a court of compe- tent jurisdiction, after trial and convic- tion. Sec. 3. This act shall take effect im- mediately. The law must be enforced. We call upon the constituted authorities—the peo- ple’s counsel, the District Attorney, the City and County Attorney—to see to it that this law is enforced. A crisis has arrived. It is a time for plain words. Itisa time for action. The law of 1893, governing the granting of street railway and other franchises, must be obeyed. THE CIGAR BUSINESS. The declaration made by the local Cigar- makers’ Union that we annually send out of the State between $600,000 and $800,000 for cigars of Eastern manufacture is astounding, and it may be taken as indi- cating the enormous sums which we send away for the purchase of other commodi- ties of kinds which we manufacture. That we are able to bear this incredible drain and at the same time remain the most pros- perous State in the Union is a wonderful thing. The union has adopted a blue label, a fac-simile of which THE CALL published re- cently. This label will serve as a guide to all smokers who understand that these cigars are as good as if not better than any other they can buy and who have the wisdom to appreciate the importance of patronizing a home industry. But cigar- smokers are generally heedless and ina hurry. They become accustomed to a cer- tain cigar, invariably one that has been generously advertised, smoke it for a time and then likely change to some other, which also has been largely advertised. Although deeming themselves very fas- tidious and excellent judges of cigars it is uncommon for them to make experiments upon which to base a judgment indepen- dent of a cigar’s notoriety through adver- tising. And yet there are cigar-manufacturers in the City to-day who sell enormous quan- | tities of particular brands—which they have advertised. We have in mind one manufacturer who has an extensive trade in'a brand all across the continent. When the Cigar-makers’ Union informs us that this or that amount of money is annually sent East for cigars it should at the same time give approximate figures of the amount which we draw from the Bast for cigars of our own manufacture, and which are gold by the enterprise of the makers. ‘We think it will be found that the figure is pretty large, though of course it cannot nearly offset the other. And the union should remember early and late that we do not sell a single cigar in the East that we do not heavily advertise. A newspaper publisher is in a particu- larly advantageous position for studying the art of advertising as it is practiced in various parts of the country. Sectional peculiarities of the most instructive kind present themselves to him from a study of his exchanges, and he can form a correct estimate of the progress of any section from the extent and methods of its adver- tising. One of the things that a San Fran- cisco publisher has learned is that the Eastern competitors of California manu- facturers have a conceptiofi of the value of advertising which our own poople, with some exceptions, have not yet learned to comprehend. Advertising is one of the most intricate and diversified of modern arts, and as a rule success in manufacture and production may be measured by an understanding of its principles. This aside, together with its vital bear- ing on the cigar-making industry of Cali- fornia, it might be profitable for the Cigar- makers’ Union to inquire whether it has exhausted all the opportunities within its grasp for advancing 1ts interests. Taking it for granted that this is one of the mos important of our industries aud that it is the duty of every intelligent citizen to fos- ter it, it is proper to make allowance for the carelessness of consumers and not to blame them for what perfect candor on our partmay cause us to realize are our own shortcomings. The Manufacturers’ and Producers’ As- sociation, under its recently enlarged scheme for including dealers and emplecyes in its membership, has displayed an in- structive wisdom. I every seller of cigars were enlisted in the cause of the California product there would be far less complaint on the score of Eastern competition. And until the cigar-makers ally themselves com- pletely with the Manufacturers’ and Pro- ducers’ Association, and until that asso- ciation itself comprehends the full scope and power of advertising, our cigar-makers must expect to see a great deal of good California money go up in Eastern smoke. MR. ASHWORTH'S POSITION. Street Superintendent Ashworth has been lately placing himself in opposition to certain reforms in the conduct of street matters. Hisactsof this character have been numerous and aggressive and they demand consideration. For the present we may pass over all except his very bitter opposition to the Merchants’ Association, though there are probably those not in- clined to be so lenient. Mr. Ashworth has made a very serious charge against the Merchants’ Associa- tion—namely, that it has employed a less number of men in cleaning the streets than it reported to the City. This is a charge of dishonesty,and it is not strange that Mr. Dohrmann, president of the asso- ciation, feels outraged. If it does not mean that the association, composed of the decent and earnest merchants of the City, is resorting to a.small swindle, for some purpose which has not been pub- lished and which we confess ourselves un- able to guess, we do not know the meaning of the English language. We all remember how dirty and dis- agreeable were the streets under the sweeping-contract system. We remember the charges published to the effect that the contractors were charging the City for sweeping blocks whicn their muchines did not traverse. We remember the great dis- satisfaction of the merchants over the in- adequacy of the service and the losses which they sustained from damage to their zoods by the swirling debris of the streets. We remember how, out of sheer desperation, they took the matter into their own hends, and what a wonderful change immediately came over the doyn- town streets covered by their operations. ‘We remember, also, that they contributed many thousands of dollars from their own pockets for the service, for which they have never asked recompense, and that in the pursuit of the hand-sweepning method which they adopted with so great success they were careful to give employment to our most needy unemployed men, pre- ferring old men and those with families. It was one of the most efficient, kindly, enterprising and beneficent movements ever made by the “solid”’ men of the City. The entire community felt grateful to them, and every newspaper in town was generous in praise 0f their efforts. They had worked a revolution. Their effort was the first that had been made to better the condition of the City. They were the pio- neers of all the societies which were after- ward formed for placing 8an Francisco in the position which it.deserved to occupy. It is therefore gratnitous on Mr, Ash- worth’s part to make this fierce assault upon them. Not only does he charge them with dishonesty, but declares that the service which they have been perform- ing 18 practically worthless. We believe that the Merchants’ Associa- tion has sufficient confidence in the strength of its own integrity and patriot- ism and a sufficient knowledge of the high popular esteem in which its splendid services are held by the commuuity, not to be affected by Mr. Ashworth’s charges. Such men as compose its membership are much needed in this City, and there is no danger that their services will lack in ap- preciation from the proper sources. We trust that they will continue the good work which they have begun and will per- mit no trivial criticism to cripple the great plans which they have under way for im- proving the general condition of the City. PUBLIO SENTIMENT. Public sentiment, opposed to the im- pudent attempt of the Solid Eight in the Board of Supervisors to defy the people and evade the statute regulating the grant of municipal franchises, manifests itself at present under many forms. Some of the people are sanguine and aggressive and some are sullen and doubtful. To THE CaLn are sent expressions from each of these classes, and we are thus made familiar with the processes by which all varieties of sentiment are shaping them- selves toward a unanimity that will result in action. An interesting expression of one phase of public opinion on that subject is found in a letter addressed to THE CALL as fol- lows: 4 Crry, July 10, 1895. To the Edilor of The Call—SIk: 1 read your arti- cle this morning on page 6, “A Municipal Crisis,” with great pleasure; but what will it amount to? The Californians are as meek spirited as Dalmatian carriage dogs, and will do nothing. I1am disgusted with them. The only time there was any manhood in this State was in the early days, when the people had sand enough to have a vigilance committee, It was certainly needed then, but not half so much as now, and if we had them now the Solid Eight would get their deserts, but, &s it is, there will be a little paper talk fora few days until it gets stale, then it will be dropped. Burely you could get some citizen to bring suit as you sug- gest, and so Isaid to a friend, but he said the papers only went xo farin these matters and knew when to stop. I don’t think that, though, of yourpaper, which is the only real newspaper in the State. The others are flash sheets gotten up for sale on & style between a dime novel ard the Police Gazette. The form of expresssion used in the letter is peculiar to the writer, but there can be no doubt the feeling expressed in it is shared by many citizens, The laws have been evaded or violated so often, monopoly has gained so many successes, official iniquity has gone so long unpun- ished, so many open frauds have escaped unwhipped of justice, so many unblushing rascals have maintained their hold on office; past attempts at reform, at the en- forcement of law and the protection of the rights of the people, have been so com- pletely baffled, that not a few good citizens have lost faith in the possibility of crush- ing the wrong and establishing the right through legal methods. In their impa- tience with rascality they would willingly resort to lynch law, and they sigh for the good old days of the Vigilantes, when the people gave rascality no rope but rascals plenty of it. It is bad for a community when such opinions are shared by good citizens. One reason why the law should be resolutely enforced is that it may be trusted by the better element of the people as well as feared by the worst. No reflecting man can give any study to this phase of public sentiment without perceiving another reason why this particular fight for the maintenance of the law should be pushed to an issue and won by the people. We must convince the doubters of the efficacy of law and of the ability of Californians to enforce the laws they make. This we have every reason to believe will be done. Pop- ular sentiment is rapidly becoming unani- mous for action. There needs no lynch law to deal with the Solid Eight. The ex- isting law is good enough to settle them. PROVING TO0 MUOH. The leading article in the current num- ber of Review of Reviews iz an elaborate essay on “Wall Street and the Credit of the Government” by the editor of Brad- street's. Under the form of giving an account of ourfinancial history during the last three years, and explaining how Cleve- land and the bankers of New York saved the credit of the country, it is a specious plea for the maintenance of the gold stan- dard and an attack upon all aspects of the movement for a return to bimetallism. T{xe argument is marked by that form of ability which overleaps itself and falls on the other side. It proves too much, and in admitting the accuracy of its statements the general reader will find in them suffi- cient reason for dissenting from the con- clusions. Indeed, it would be difficult to find a stronger argument for a return to bimetallism than that contained in this carefully studied laudation of the patriot- ism of Wall street in protecting and pre- serving the credit of our Government. A single example will suffice to show the general nature of the whole argument. In speaking of the work done by the syndi- cate to which Cleveland committed his last loan, the article says: “Itis no exaggera- tion to say that this contract between the syndicate and the Government is a most extraordinary document. Notonly did the syndicate agree to furnish gold and restore the treasury reserve, but they agreed to keep gold in the treasury until October next irrespective of the rate of foreign ex- change. Thus during the past few months we have witnessed sterling rates for ex- change at a point making it profitable for gold to go abroad, yet none went out. Evi- dently the ‘financial influence’ and ‘all legitimate efforts’ of this syndicate to pro- tect the treasury of the United States, when backed by nearly $600,000,000 of capi- tal and the influence of the largest bankers in the world, means the ability at times to suspend the operation of the laws of trade.” On this showing it appears that a syndi- cate of bankers has had such control of the gold supply of the world that they have been able to use it for our benefit despite the laws of trade. It goes without saying if they can use it for our benefit they could also, if they chose, use it against us. Isit wise for a people to base all their com- merce, industry and prosperity upon a metal whose supply is under the control of a comparatively small number of men, most of whom are not citizens of this country, and, therefore, cannot be expected to act always from patriotic motives? The financial operations of the Cleveland ad- ministration have been already condemned by public opinion, and if the defense of them continues to be urged on the lines noted, it will not be long before the de- mand for bimetallism and emancipation from Wall street in this country will be unanimous. IOWA AND ALLISON. In terms indirect, but not in the least vague or liable to misconstruction, the Republican State convention in Iowa has put forward Senator Allison as the candi- date of the party in that State for the Presidency, by declaring: “With especial pride do we remember the distinguished services of our senior Senator, whose long and honorable record as a servant of the State entitles him to expressions of our full confidence and our enduring affection. We hail with satisfaction the universal desire of the Republicans of the State to continne bim in his present field of usefulness, until called to the larger service of the Nation.” Senator Allison has well merited this testimonial of the esteem in which heis held by the Republicans of his State. He has been one of the staunch, stalwart Re- publican leaders in the Senate, to whom the party could always look for wise guidance and the people for sound states- manship. It is too early to attempt to estimate his chances of obtaining the nomination, which means the Presidency. 1t is certain, however, he will receive con- siderable support from the conservative elements of the party in all sections of the Union, and, if nominated, would poll not only the full party vote but a large propor- tion of that independent vote which, in recent elections, has been so powerful a factor in determining all political contests, whether State or National. The platform adopted by the Iowa con- vention, like that of Ohio, contains no new declaration on the silver auestion. This was wisely done. No single State can make the platform for the National party. So far as the platforms are concerned, therefore, Allison and McKinley will go before the National convention on pre- cisely the same terms. Iv will be of ad- vantage to both to have the convention held in a city where the people will be im- partial between them, and indeed between all possible competitors, and consequently in desiring that the best man may win we can only say to the friends of each and all candidates that the surest way of attain- ing that desired result is to hold the con- vention in San Francisco. THE COUNTRY PRESS. The initial number of the Trinity Record was issued at Weaverville July 4. Itisaneatap- pearing weekly paper and will be devoted largely to the mining interests of Trinity County. C. A. Carroll of San Francisco has succeeded G. B. Douglas as editor and proprietor of the Independent Calistogian, and the new man- agement contemplates numerous improve- ments with the object of widening the paper’s influence and popularity. R. B. 8titt is meeting with much encourage- ment in his new venture, the Capay Valley News, publishedat Guinda, Yolo County. The little paper has started out cheerily to make a record for itself in advertising Capay Valley to the world. The Calaveras Prospect has just entered upon its fifteenth volume. The Prospect isa good, substantial paper and has done valuable work in advancing the interests of its locality. In opening the new volume, the editor remarks: “In the future, as in the past, we shall support that party which has proved itself the only party that can bring prosperity to the Nation.” It is needless to add that the Prospect is a stanch advocate of Republican prin¢iples. PROMINENT PERSONAGES. Benjamin M. Post, who supervised the con- struction of the 80-day gunboats built for the Government by the Altaire Iron Works of New York during the war,and was the engineer of the Atlanta when it carried Jay Gould and his family around the world in 1884, died in Passaic, N. J., recently. He was 58 years old. He was regarded as one of the best marine en- gineers in the country. William M. Evarts was going up once in the elevator at the State Department when it hap- pened to be loaded with an unusual number of strangers, presumably applicants for minister- ships and consulships. Turning to a friend Wwho accompanied him Evarts sald: “This is the largest collection for foreign missions that I have seen taken up for some time.” The lady upon whom the great Cavendish bestowed the proud title of “Queen of Ameri- can Whist Players,” Miss Kate I, Wheelock, is & Milwaukeean—a petite, fueln}ng woman, engaging in manner and intellectual in ap- pearance. Clara Starring, who has just been graduated from the West Roxbury (Mass.) High School, hasmade a remarkable record, having been mm“ absent nor tardy in her entire school AROUND THE CORRIDORS. Roger Magee and Lyman Mowry are at outs over the delicate and interesting art of cook- ery. The latter gentleman spends all his spare time searching out something with which to line his stomach, and can be seen any day nosing around the markets with a little basket picking up a delicacy here or a toothsome morsel there. When his receptacle is full he proceeds to his home and takes charge of the kitchen range until a savory dish is ready for the table. Consequently he feels that he is more or less of an authority in the matter of culinary gymnastics. On the other hand Mr. Magee eats his meals in the Palace grillroom and is satisfied that the chef there knows his business. In the light of these facts Mr. Mowry does not consider Mr. Magee very much of an artist in the business of catering to the needs of the stomach. “Now, Roger,” said the attorney in the Occi- dental yesterday, “you must come out to my house and have a bouille basse dinner with me to-morrow.”” “What’s the combination, Lyman?” “Why, a fish dish. Didn’t you ever eat & bouille basse?"” “Yes, you bet I have, and I don’t think you can make one. Tell me how you go at it, Lyman.” Mr. Mowry glared at Mr. Magee, took a long breath and reluctantly proceeded: “In the first place I get my fish in good con- dition, that is, fresh and clean, and also secure about half a gallon of the best white wine, to- gether with the necessary flavoring vege- tables.” “What kind of fish do you use, Lyman?”’ “Why, all kinds, Roger, with an eel for the body.” “What?” exclaimed Mr. Magee, jumping out of his chair. ‘You don’t mean to tell me that you use everything in one preparation?” “Certainly. I take a tomcod, s rockcod,s smelt, a flounder,a herring, an anchovy,a perch, a small shad, a mackerel, a—" “And do you throw them all into one pot?” “Yes." “Bones and all?” “‘Most certainly I do.” “‘And do you serve it with the bones in, too 2" “Of course.” “‘Well, look here, Lyman, you'll not get any of it into me. I don't care about mixing up with & fish market in the second course. If you can dish up a bouille basse made of sea bass with all the bones left out in the kitchen Iam with you, but on the combination you’re talking about now, why call it off. Good-by, Lyman, I'll come out when game is in season.”” With that Mr. Magee moved toward the door, while Mr. Mowry protested that the man from Mill Valley didn’t know a fish dish from an Irish stew, 2 ECUADORIAN EDITORS. Banishment is a factor with which South American editors have to contend. Quite a number were deported from Ecuador during the recent troubles in that republic.

If a man honestly believes that it is wrong to receive interest for money loaned he ean always refrain from borrowing money, and persuade others to refrain also. But when he borrows money, after making the best bargain he can for the use of it, he should fulfill the conditions of the contract without squealing. Those who lend money are as much needed as any other class in the community. There are ten men who can make money where there is one who can save it, and probably three of the ten can use the money better, get more out of it for themselves and the community, than the one who saved it.—San Jose Herald. There isan unheard of demand for small coin. The mints are pressed to supply it. From Jan- uary 1 to May 31 this year the 5-cent coins minted to meet the wants of the country have exceeded by $10,000 the amount minted in the entire year of 1894. A surer indication of in- creased activity in business of every kind could not be found.—Pendleton East Ore- gonian. The Prohibition party has gained some re- cruits in the Western States in the past few years that are doing it a great deal more harm than good. The trouble is that these new men are insisting on dragging all sorts of side issues into the campaign so that the old one-idea party is becoming a party of all sorts of ideas, m::& of them poor ones.—Colorado Springs Ga- zette. The “new woman” movement is 2 fad which Wwill soon run its course and die out, when the old-fashioned womanly woman—the style of woman who rocked our cradle and sym- pathized with our youthful sorrows, and whom nine-tenths of us still retain as our {deal of all that is admirable in womanhood—will come into fashion again.—Los Angeles Times, With the Valley Railroad phssing through Hanford the surrounding country will take on new life, and the large tracts of land now un- occupied will become the homes of an indus- trious and_thriving population. The business houses will then sell two and three dollars’ worth of goods where they now sell one. Car- penters will find employment in erecting new houses, barns, schoolhouses and churches. Our blacksmith and wagon shops will have to double their capacity for work, and times will become prosperous in all trades and industries. Isnot these matters worth striving for? Then, geta move on, Ye people of Hanford, and be ready to give a favorable response for aid when called on by the committee, for it Is aid or no railroad.—Hanford Democrat. The 2000 tons of rails just arrived for the San Joaquin Valley Railroad is a fact that will go a* great way to convince the public that the com- pany means business. These rails will go for- ward to Stockton. They will suffice for only & few miles of the road. But thisarrival and the final signatures to the lease of the China Basin are two steps in advance. Locomotives and ties already in sight are other convincing proofs that there are to be 1o unreasoneble de- 1ays in pushing the work to completion. Itis now well settled that the railroad company will not do any work on the section between Stockton and Oakland until the valley section of the road has been completed and put in operation.—Oakland Tribune. With enough steel rails already on hand to fifteen or twenty miles of railroad track, ’:x};n the China Basin lease signed, and with surveying parties constantlyin the field, the «“opera-bouffe” Valley road seems to be opera pouffeing along in & manner to please the most hopeless citizen of the Southern Pacific's long- time principality. Better days are but a little way ahead for the San Joaquin Valley.—Fresno Republican. ] PERSONAL. Dr. R. 8. Markell of Cloverdale is at the Lick. A. A.

The Pacific Union Printerindicates that some of the members of the art preservative are pre- paring to guard against inconvenience on ac- count of the advent of type-setting machines, The Printer says: “Thomas Hickey, late proof- reader of the Examiner, is now completing his medical studies at the Toland Medical College. At a recent examination Mr. Hickey was at the head of the class, and before many months have passed his name will be signed, Thomas Hickey, M.D.” The same paper contains other notices of typographical experts going into other occupations. One paragraph is as follows: “Thomas P. Baker, an ex-secretary of San Francisco Union, who has been studying for the ministry in the Theological University at Boston during the past three years, gradu- ated this year, and has been given a charge at Mechanics Falls, Maine.” - D. F. Verdenal in his letter to the Chronicle says: “Colonel Isaac Trumbo, Utah's favorite son, who expects to be invested with the Sen- atorial toga if things all pull straight, was here 1ast week, making the Plaza his headquarters. Colonel Trumbo has just come on from the Cleveland Republican League meeting, and he was as full of silver as & tick. He couldn’t talk anything else. What, with Trumbo at the Plaza, and Senator Stewart and Representative Newlandsat the Holland, and Senator John P. Jones at? the Grand, the ‘big four' of the silverites were well represented. New York is a red-hot gold bug center, and the ‘big four’ found it hard work when the got down to Wall street. The gold bugs say that the pockets of these silverites are all lined with regular greenbacks, but Colonel Trumbo says they are only carrying silver certificates.” THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION, The proposition to make a display of Califore nia products at the Atlanta Cotton Exposition is meeting with the dullest kind of apathy. The indications are that nobody wants a dis- play, butitmay be thatthere is a waiting until the last minute to go to work with & whoop to execute some very raw plans. Thatis a method we have followed, finishing up by sending along a bell-wether of the boomer flock to tell ‘what we could have done had we tried.—Tulare Register. The time is approaching when the Atlanta Exposition is to be opened, and it is of great importance that this State, and particularly this part of the State, should be sdequately represented there. Southern California will miss a great opportunity to advertise herself if she does not have an attractive display at Ate lanta.—Los Angeles Express. —— s CRYSTALIZED Ginger, 25¢ 1b, Townsends. * e Bacox Printing Company, 508 Clay strast, * ——————— ‘WE guarantee our ports and sherries to be pure.
