Chicago began 2 boulevard with the in- tention of running it to the city limits. Then she decided to carry it on to one of her summer resorts. Now she has con- cluded to continue it on to Milwaukee, and perhaps with a little coaxing she might be induced to extend it out here. n there are no parties in There are only the Tam- manyites, the Plattites, the Fusionists, the Pops, the Prohis, the Goo Goos, the Garoos and the Gazoos, and wherever victory lights she will have to make her perch in the dark amid a confusion of discordant elements. The Rev. C. W. Hoeffer, a candidate for the Legislature from Darke County, Ohio, who eported ‘o have offered to sell his vote, elected, to Senator Brice for $1500, is said to be a Republican, but his willing- ness to vote for the candidate of the other side impliesa man of decidedly non-par- tisan characteri. 5 According to the Federal Burean of Sta- tistics our exports of flour to Cuba during the last nine months were 198,000 barrels less than during the corresponding period of last year. The export of manufactured goods has also declined. We have just that much business therefore for interfer- g in the contest and demanding peace. In the Ohio campaign there have thus far appeared five Governors, McKinley, Hastings of Pennsylvania, Matthews of Indians, Jackson of Iowa and McCorkle of West Virginia; and also five ex-Governoss, Campbell, Foraker, and Foster of Ohio, Hill of New York and Waite of Colorado. Is it any wonder the political pot is about to boil over? tile National Bank of New York, argued before the Bankars' Association at Atlanta that independent bimetallism would be successfal in the United States if attempted under present conditions and at the ratio of 16to 1. The gold men will answer, of course, but they will answer in the old way by skipping the argument and saying the author is a crank. MOVING ONWARD. TrE CALL’s subscription of $10,000 to the fund needed to defray the expense of hold- ing the Republican National Convention in San Francisco is merely the expression of a California Republican newspaper’s appreciation of the extraordinary advan- tages which would fall to the great West from the holding of such a convention in this City. It is needless to add that, view- ing the matter from a selfish point of view, a newspaper would be one of the least among the beneficiaries of such a conventfon. There are thousands of others to whom the opportunity will appeal with a vastly stronger financial interest. Among them are the great railway companies, which have lands for saleand which would be benefited by a general development of natural resources; the numerous great land-owners of the West, to whom an in- crease of population would mean a multi- plication of their fortunes; and meany others with valuable interests in a gradu- ally diminishing ratio. To every Western man who sees in the holding of such a convention in San Francisco a chance to increase the value of his property or the volume of his business this opportunity has come as one of the few providential happenings of a hifetime. We place the matter in this light as an appeal to the mercenary only. In doing | 80 we eliminate all considerations of pa- triotism. We sincerely trust that thereby we shall not rouse the resentment of those broad, generous, patriotic Americans in the West who, having the means, would hold themselves aloot from the influence of sordid motives when their patriotism makes a call on their purses. We believe that the natural conditions which environ the people of the West tend to make them broad and unselfish, and we have always insisted that in these regards they are a distinctively superior people. If in opportunities to advance the material interests of this region there has been an apparent lax regard for the wealth of our resources and for the methods whose em- ployment has made other regions so con- spicuous, we have ascribed the indiffer- ence toa great prosperity, We have always thought that the revivifying forces of the Nation must proceed from the bouundless treasures of the far West as they are repre- sented in the resonrces of the far Western people and the natural wealth that lies ready to their hands. It is for these reasons that we expect the people of the West to rise ready with sub- stantial greetings for the opportunity which has come at last for bringing the Republican National Conyention to San Francisco. A DISTINCT SERVIOE. The entrance of the United Press into the tield of news-gathering agencies has intro- duced a unique factor into American journalism. The manner of its origin was sufficient to establish that fact. The { founders are the “big four’” newspapers of New York—the Herald, the Sun; the Tri- bune and the World. The Herald is the great independent paper of the country, splendid in its news service and the back- bone of what has been derisively termed “‘mugwumpery,” which is virtually a sim- ile of pure politics and its expressionin a civil service for politics. The Sunis the ancient Democratic paper which finds Clevelandism undemocratic and which is American above all things else. The Tribune is the old stand-by of the Republi- cans on principle more than policy. The World is the aggressive and virile exponent of the 1dea of news, with an amiable form of modern Democracy as a leaven. Apart from the matter of news the polit- ical aims of these four newspapers are as diverse and antagonistic as their independ- ence of extraneous influences is conspicu- ous. There is not sufficient money in the country to buy a iine of their space which would stand for a surrender of their inde- pendence. They founded a telegraphic news service that should be free from the influence of all the power which all the trusts in the country might be able to ex- ercise. And they founded it for the sole purpose of having a service free from every possible influence which powerful selfish aims might be ordinarily able to exercise. Naturally, when they opened their news service to other newspapers which desired to appear before the public on similar terms they gathered in a powerful list, embracing many of the great dailies of the United States. Among them is THE Carr. This paper threw its power into the combination not alone for the reason that the news is absolutely reliable and free from contamination of selfish inter- ests, but also because it is fully compre- hensive, covers every part of the world and is distinct. This choice was made only after a very caretul investigation. It thus follows that TeE CALL has a unique telegraphic news service, and that however voluminous and varied may be the news service of other pavers published here it is only by taking THE CALL that the full service of the United Press may be secured. In these days, when news is so valuable & feature of newspapers, it is necessary in this corner of the world, whatever other newspapers may be read, to take THE CALL in order to secure all the news. A PECULIAR SITUATION. At the time of the great railroad strike of 1894 it was asserted and accepted asa 2ct that the laboring element of the State generally was in sympathy with the strik- ers. Certainly resolutions of sympathy were passed by numerous labor organiza- tions. Matters lately have taken an extra- ordinary turn, with Sacramento as the focus of activity. Last Saturday night a labor indignation meeting was heid in that city, at which resolutions denouncing the Railroad Commission and protesting against its reduction of freight rates were passed. Tuesday evening the Council of Federated Trades of the same city held a meeting in which it denounced the former meeting and its resolutions. This last meeting, by resolution, charged that the 300 men who met Saturday even- ing were all railroad employes; that they met in defiance of and without regard to the interests of labor in general and of or- ganized labor rules and authority; that they employed the name of labor to intimi- date the commission and force it to break the pledges which its members took and their oaths when elected; that this is the only commission that has ever attempted to keep its oath and obey the law, and that it offers the only relief ever presented for weakenine the grasp of a great monopoly on the prosperity of the State; that rail- road labor is subject to the same condi- tions governing other labor; that ingcreased earnings of corporations do not result in a benefit to the labor which they employ, and that even skould the threat of the rail- road company to reduce the wages of its employes be carried out, the géneral bene- fits resulting from a reduction of railroad rates would greatly overbalance the injury which railroad employes might suffer. The situation means a good deal more than might appear on the surface. In the first place it is commonly believed that the railroad company is at the bottom of all these intimidating meetings and peti- tions aimed to swerve the Railroad Com- mission, and that its employes are practi- cally coerced into their antagonism toward a rate reduction. The railroad employes therefore deserve pity. The worst aspect of the condition in which they are placing themselves is that they are forfeiting the sympathy and aid of all the other laboring classes of the Btate, as well as that of thousands who are not laborers and who not only sympatbized with the strikers last year, but are anxious that the pro- posed reductions in railroad charges be made. In short, the railroad eruployes are cutting themselves loose from the sym- pathy and support of the people and from the best interests of the State, and are arraying themselves on Mr. Huntington’s side against the only hope they can cherish for their welfare, The labor element of the State is on the side of the people and State, and those who are not are the enemies of labor, and will be 80 rezarded. It may be expected that the movement begun by the Federated Trades at Sacramento will not stop there. A grave issue has been raised. An excel- lent opportunity for missionary work among the railroad employes is present. It would be an incredible pity if their fear of Mr. Huntington should serve to ostracise them from all men whose hopes and aims they are seeking blindly to antagonize, and thus make them more abject slaves to him than they are. A WISE SUGGESTION. The suggestion made by W. H. Mills that & permanent exhibit of California products be installed in the new ferry building seems full of wisdom. He has expressed himself in the following words: “This structure is to have an upper story through which incoming passengers will have to pass. Somewhere on this upper story T would suggest thata per- manent California exhibit of large propor- tions and most varied character be placed, under the care of our semi-public commer- cial and industrial organizations, and that it be kept fresh and interesting by frequent aaditions and removals of the supply. Its value to the State as an educator of the newcomer can be easily perceived.” There are several handsome and exceed- ingly interesting collections of California produets in the City, including those of the State Board of ‘Trade, the Academy of Sciences and the Society of California Pio- neers. No one, not excepting an experi- enced resident of the State, can visit them without finding great pleasure and instruc- tion. The trouble with them, particularly so far es strangers are concerned, is that neither their existence nor their where- abouts is known. It istrue that the State Board of Trade occupies a large room on the ground floor of a Market-street build- ing, that it receives many visitors and that it is of surpassing excellence, but no ade- quate efforts ars made to inform visitors concerning it. ‘Why not move this exhibit to the new buiiding? It will there be seen by nearly all Californians and strangers who visit the City, and the expenditure of a little more money on it would make it the finest exhibit of the kind in the world and one of the wonders of California. While strangers just landing will be too confused and in too great & hurry to make a thorough in- spection on arrival, they will see the exhibit and examine it afterward. It might be well to arrange for lectures to be delivered at a certain time every day and to prevare printed matter for judicious distribuzion. The Board of Trade has never received the attention it has deserved at the hands of those engaged in the worthy task of urging the advantages of the State. Lately it has been doing some excellent work at Atlanta. The Half-million Club might profitably turn its attention to these sug- gestions and be prepared to put them in force on an elaborate scale when the build- ing is completed. “THE SUNDAY OALL" The uniform excellence of the Sunday edition of TuE CALL will be maintained in to-morrow’s issue. A principal aim in the preparation of the Sunday edition is to produce a radical rarity from one issue to another, while avoiding cheap “syndicate’ matter and adhering to the policy of giv- ing preference to California writers and themes. Experience has shown not only that the most virile and original writers in the country are to be found in California, but that the richest subjects for treatment are here and hereabout. In *“The Perfumes of California, " Joaquin Miller gives partly a descriptive, partly a poetic, partly a reminiscent and wholly an original treatment of an unusual sub- ject. “How Grace Hudson Paints Indian Babies” is the title of an article descrip- tive of the methods employed by a talented painter to depict an interesting type of Western aborigines. Mary Calkins Johnson’s versatile pen is employed in the children’s department in the relation of an interesting chapter of history entitled *'Merican Boy Turns Banker.” A pathetic and tragic view of the seamy side of San Francisco is presented in W. C. Morrow’s story of “The Three Times We Met.” Sam Davis will tell some tough yarns about Nevada mining operations. ‘‘Closed for the Season’’ is the title of a sgetch by Adeline Knapp. Edward M. Greenway hasa delightful paper on *‘So- ciety at Its Best.” Daniel O’Connell tells an exceedingly artistic and pathetic tale, giving a vivid picture of early life in the North and naming it “A Romance of the Northwest.” “‘Random Notes,” contributed regularly to the Sunday issue by John McNaught, will appearin all their wealth of quain wise and genial ‘satire on passing events. The other regular departments, including, among others, selections and original con- tributions for children, fashions for women and men, literature, the drama, etc., wili all appear in the list of special attractions for to-morrow’s issue. This is & copy of the paper that lovers of California would show wisdom in forwarding to therr East- ern friends. e TRAVERTINE FOR THE NEW “CALL.” Most of the derrick irons arrived from San Francisco on Bunday, but there were just enough left in Carson to keep work back & week. The balance may be here to-morrow on Russell’s team, and then it will take & week to put itin working order. In the meantime the quarrymen are getting big blocks of traver- tine ready for hoisting, s0 that when com- pleted the derrick will be kept very busy, and teams will have plenty of hauling to Carson, the travertine now coming out being for the filling of San Francisco orders, notably for TaE CALL and Parrott buildings.

ARCUND THE CORRIDORS. _ “My monocle,” satd R. 0. Oskley when it was referred 1o yesterday. “Why bless you, my boy, it was the first onein California. I came here in 1854 and brought it with me from London. A little later on snother ap- peared, bnt mine was the first.” The veteran real estate man then walked OVer 10 an easy-chair' {n tne Occidental Hotel u{ the invitation to his friend to have a chat. ““You see,” he continued, “in England it is so thoroughly the custom that we all wear them. Now I assure you that itis possible forme to read the finest print, and Iam not so young as I uzed to be, either.” “Do you use the monocle for reading?"” * “Never. Only for distinguishing people at great distances. You see I can adjust it to my eye instantly. Just like that” Mr. Oakley CONTEMPORARIES DISTANCED, % Stockton Mall. In one great and distinctive journalistic ex- ploit the San Francisco CALL has distanced all its City contemporaries. We refer to its very vivid and comprehensive exposursof the dis- graceful condition of affzirs prevailing in what is known as Round Valley. The information ‘which has been collected on the subject, evi- dently not without some personal risk to its in- telligent correspondent, fills mors than ten columns of its Monday issue. : This is genuine newspaper enterprise. There is no hollow ring of sham sensationalism in the terrible story which it has printed. The correspondent has written a simple narrative, free from even any suggestion of an attempt to color or dis- tort the facts. From the hour the lynching of Jack Little- field was made public it should have become R. O. OAELEY, then executed & movement that showed his | proficiency in the use of the monocle, and by elevating the eyebrows as dextrously released it from his eye. “There is a popular impression that the con- stant use of a monocle injures the eye thatis deprived of it. That, however, is not the case. Iheve worn mine on the right eye for over forty years and I notice no difference. You see it is probably the resultof custom. Irather like to stick to some of the old English man- nerisms, and the monocle is, after all, convenicnce. If Isaw you a block off I be unable to recognize you without my glass I am never apart frem it and it is not likely that I eyer will be. When one has been asso- ciated with a custom as long as I have with this one it becomes a satisfaction to stay by it. Ihave seen all the ups and downs of this City since 1854, and have never lived in any other in America. I eaw the old Vigilance Commit- tee take possession of the town and purify it and I also saw some of its members arrest Charles Duane, the man who boasted that no man was &ble to arrest him. Theyid it as ensy &s though he were a schoolboy. These men meant business and times were never so £00d as when they ran the works. I have passed through all the joys and sorrows of this City and my monocle has always been with me. It was hard for the natives to reconcile them- selves to it, but it appears to have come to stay.” VERSES ON THE RUN. ‘wiTn $100,000 IN XER POCKET. What may I all you, my pretty maid?

ROUND VALLEY. ‘The streams of the valley with blood were swelled; “Yo-ho-ho! and a botéle of ram!” Crime stalked 10oss, and the devil he yelled, Y0-ho-ho! and a bottle of ram!"* For men, like cattle, were butchered for gold By Imps that ware shaped in the devil's own mold.” THE NATIONAL DERT: “John G. when will it stop?” Cried Grover, “this defieit dire?” But Johnny Carlisle smiled a dubious smile, And the debt wens a littls bit higher.

Will > 2 men be found to fill the vacant spparent to the mansgers of the big dailies that some independent investigation should be made of not _only the circumstances of that atrocious murder, but also of the exceptional conditions leading to it. It isto the creditof the San Francisco CALL that it boldly and skillfuily undertook this delicate enterprise. The revelations made by its correspondent of the reign of lawlessness in Round Valley ought to open the eyesof the peopls of Cali- fornia to the existence of a state of affairs which will be a standing. reproach to our com- monwealth £0 longas it is tolerated. The dis- closures likewise constitute 2 most impressive vindication of Governor Budd’s course in an- nouncing his purpose to stamp out that relic of barbarism known as Iynch law. And what is the condition as shown by THE CALL? Simpfy this: That one of the most favored regions of California is and has been in the possession of a cruel and crafty man, who, to maintain his monopoly of the soil, has re- sorted to systematic robbery, rapine and murder, and who, if sll that is told of his doings be true, ought to have been dropped long ngo through the trap &t San Quentin. It is a monstrous thing to believe that there part of this State those of the mnotorious White Caps or i Ku-Klux Klan can be pursued year after ye: without any attempt on the part of th thorities to check them or to break them up. Yet this is what is going on in Round Vulley. 1t is reputed to be the paradise of outlaws. Morder has been rampant there ever since the whites obtained a foothold in the valley. The courts having jurisdiction over that region seem to be under the control of the elements that have made the velley & synonym for everythlns honest an that is inconcéivably mean, dis- disgraceful.

Chicago Record. At last Mr. Platt seems to have put an end to the harrowing suspense which some of the Republican candidates are supposed to have felt regarding his intentions. Mr. Platt, it is well understood. is about as little friendly to Mr. Harrison’s candidacy as is Brother Quay. It remained to be discovered, therefore, whether his influential support was destined 10 go to Major McKinley or to the Hon. Thomas B. Reed or to Mr. Morton, who seems to be filling the position of a probationary candi- date. But Mr. Platt has broken his silence on at least ons important particular. Speakin; to the Record’s correspondent, who had aske him about MoKinley, Platt replied, senten- tiously: “We don’t want any more Ohio men in the White Hous Philadelphia Ledger. There is much agitation over the question of 8 third term for President Clevelsnd. Ashe has made no declaration of such intention, and has no boomers at work, and & none but his enemies and the office-holders sre becom- ing excited over the matter, it i8 to be con- cluded, first, that he s not a candidate fora third term, and second, that some people fear that, if nominated, he would mske a very d_nr gerous antagonist. As & matter of fact, which is no seeret, Mr. Cleveland is not now, has Dnever heen and will not be & candidate for a third term. His opinions or convictions with regard to this question are aboutas well known 10 those who really care to know them as are his views on the silver or tariff questions. Albany Argus. General Harrison has always been a poli- tician of the machine stripe, and his machine has usually been strong enough to control caucuses and select delegations at will. His repellant manner has operated against any great strength with the people at large in In- diana as elsewhere. The Republicans will probably think that the load of his adminis- tration is enough to carry, without his per- sonelity. All in all, it is probably safe to con- sider the Indianapolis city' election as an elimination of the interesting figure of Gen- eral Benjamin Harrison irom the list of 1896 probabilities, Chicago Inter Ocean. Chairman McMillan of the Iowa Republican Committee claims that Senator Quay, ex-Sena- tor Thomas C. Platt and Jos Manley are all supporters of Senator Allison for the Presiden- tial nomination. If Mr. McMillan knows what he is talking about be would do well to keep still and allow these gentlemen to get in their work without alarming the other Presidential candidates. In matters where Matt Quay, Tom Platt ana Joe Manley are expecied to do the work they can be trusted to tell about it at the time when it will do the most good. Connellsville (N. Y.) Monltor. For President, Jobn C. Black of Iilinofs, and for Vice-President, Chauncey F.

If our self-seeking leaders would stand aside and | permit the common people to neme & winning ticket it would be Black and Black. Viewing Governor McKinley @5 a man, and especially as &n Ohio man, even Democrats must have a degree of sympathy for his ambi- tion to be the Republican nominee for Presi- dent, but looking upon him politieally no | greater misfortune could than his election to the death and_destruction wit that there is even a chance tha be benefited by Republican victory in Ohio this fall ought 10 be enough to secure the State to fall the country the Democrats. i Chicago Record. At the same time Mr. Platt’s outspoken atti- tude should add another smile to the furrowed row about the mouth of Thomas B. Reed. Mr Platt is not for Harrison, and he is not for ) Kinley. He says heis for Morton; but how will it be if Mr. Morton’s name fails to fire the convention? To be sure Mr. Platt has not saia that he will support Reed, but he has told whom he wouldn't suppori, and even this i formation cannot fail to be eminently satisfac- tery to the statesman from Mains. Birmingham News. Senator Pugh, who is in Washington, is quoted as saying: “Alabama Democrats tavor the nomination of William R.

Mr. Robert Lincoln’s Presidential boom is an innocent thing which appears with quadren- nial regularity, but which the country at large never seriously considers.

The following is given asa means of ridding a papered room of bedbugs: Clean the paint of the room thor- oughly and set in the center of the room a dish containing four onnces of brimstone. Light it and close the room as tightly as possible, stop- ping up the cracks and tné kevholes to keep the fumes of the brimstone in the room. Let the room remain in that eondition for three or four hours. Then open the doors and windows and air thoroughly. The brimstone will be found to have bleached the paint if it was of a yellowish white. If the buss are in cracks they may be reached and killed by the use of ben- sine injected by means of a spring-bottom oil- can. This fluid is very inflammable, and con- tact with firé must be avoided. TRE MOXTEREY—Constant Reader, Los Ange- les, Cal.

The way the public at large look at advertis- ing is forcibly shown by the utterances of a well-known Philadelphien, temporarily in ‘Washington, who was wafking somewhat out of his way to reach & florist’s. When his attention was called to the fact that there were other florists nearer, he said: “I am seeking this man because he advertises in the newspapers.
