[ —————————ee——— 1t is now time for the Democrats to get in and play ball. After the festival it isa wise head that knows its own hat. It is ouly Republican conventions that are commented on this year. The idea of a greater San Jose was good, but San Jose at large takes the cake. Congress might as well get out of the way and let the conventions have the earth. An early adjournment of Congress is not the best way to kill the funding bill, but it will do. It seems very clear now that the fund- ing bill is on a toboggan slide that ends in a ditch. What Democracy needs most is a leader who can drive the bosses away and clean up the camp. Now is the time for all loyal Republi- cans to get into ranks and begin to or- ganize for victor ‘We have never had to apologize for our weather, but it has needed a good deal of explanation this spring. In turning to-night from Queen Lillian to King Cole, San Jose will make a fool of herself and be glad of it. Up to date not a single Republican has shown a sore head over the party action in any portion of the country. The way to a greater and more prosper- ous California is along the road that the Republican procession moves. The surest way to provide yourself with good reading for to-morrow is to leave orders for THE SuxpaY CALL to-day. Kicks against the Sacramento conven- tion are made only by Democrats, and it 1s a good sign that they are kicking hard. According to the administration esti- mates the Chicago convention will stand on the gold platform or spill itself in forty directions. About the best thing the Chicago con- vention could do would be to take up the 8t. Louis ticket and move to make it unanimous. Tre Carn has not only supported woman suffrage itself, but it bas been the cause of a good many other papers getting in and praising the ladies. This is the time for intelligent business Democrats to think over the situation and see if they had notbetter come out frankly for protection and prosperity. The administration would be better pleased with Senator Hill's frequent de- fenses if he would only get in one occa- sionally that suceeede.d in defending it. While the war clouds hang over her Furope consoles berself in the fact that the annual spring tour of the cholera seems to have been postponed for thisyear. It would be worth while to hold a festival in San Francisco, just to get up enthusi- asm enough to brag on the weather, as they are doing in San Jose and Healds- burg. There are few predictions worth risking in regard to Democratic affairs, but it is safe to say when the Chicago convention meeis Cleveland won’t go fishing unless with a telegraph line. While the Democratic organs have not even suggested a Presidential candidate for their own party, they have already be- gun to tell their fool readers the names of the members of the McKinley Cabinet. Amid the uproar of politics there can be heard from Colorado the wailing of a few faint voices, declaring that the cures accomplished by Schlatter have been as transitory as tbe healer himself, and will have to be done all over again. Tt is estimated that 500,000 young Ameri- cans will cast their first Presidential vote this year, and fortunately thé¢ Republican party has enough young men’s clubs to take them all intocamp and teach them how to march with the procession. The chief objection to the proposed ad- journment of Congress on May 18 is that it would not give time for the Senate Finance Committee to report on the. bond deals at this session, and the people wish to hear from it before the campaign begins, The American Investor and Pacific Re- sources has issued for April an exception- ally strong nnmber, which deserves a wide circulation in the East, as an adver- tisement cf the advantages Califoruia offers to settlers and to all who are seeking good investments for their canital. In arecent interview Pattison followed the lead of Russell to the extent of declar- ing he is not an avowed candidate for the Presidency and is not sure his name will be presented at the Chicago convention, and thus do we have a sign that the Har- rity boom will be sicklied o'er by a pale cast of thought and lose the name of action, START THE WORK. The general satisfaction among Republi- cans over the work accomplished by the BSacramento convention has generated a spirit of confidence in the ranks of the party that ought to be made use of at once in effecting a complete organization for the campaign. At present there is har- mony everywhere and a sanguine feeling that amounts to an enthusiasm for Repub- lican success. This will be an effective aid to local leaders in getting campaign clubs and leagues recruited for the coming con- test and the opportunity should not be neglected in any county in the State. It is true the time is yet distant before the actual opening of the campaign will take place. The mass-meetings and the torchlight processions will not be called for until late in the summer. It is never- theless none too early to set about the task of performing the preliminary work and getting the loyal members of the party into position where they can render the most effective service. It would be a good stroke of politics for the party in Califor- nia to show itself already fairly well or- ganized where the ratification meetings are held after the Presidential nomination in June, and if this is to be done the work of organizing must, of course, be undertaken without delay. One of the most important parts of the organizing work will be that of enlisting the young men of the State in the ranks of the grand old party. It is estimated that 500,000 young Americans will cast their first Presidential vcte this fall. The Republican party, by its watchwords, “Patriotism, protection and prosperity,” can readily claim for itself the allegiance of these young men in every State in the Union, and particularly can it-do so in California, where patriotism is so ardent, protection so necessary to industry and prosperity in all lines of business so essen- tial to that rapid development of our re- sources which will give California its right- ful rank among the great States of the Republic. The feeling among the people of the State at this time is most propitious tothe successful performance of the work of adding new recruits to the party ranks. Democracy and Populism are completely demoralized. They have neither of them either a platform or a candidate to which they can invite the support of young men or of independent voters. The gen- eral public is naturally inclined to listen to Republican argumentsnow. When the heat and excitement of the actual cam- paign has disturbed the minds of men it will be much more difficult to make con- verts than at present, when the voice of reason is heard without prejudice or passion. This, therefore, is the time to begin the campaign. Start the work at once. WHY 80 EXTRAORDINARY ? The delighted surprise exhibited by all supporters of equal suffrage that THe CaLL should have come to the support of the cause 1s an eloquent disclosure of a condi- tion of affairs which should never have been permitted to exist. THE CarL has been under its present management only a year and a half. During that time, as occasion arose, it has made several radical departures from the standard of journal- ism to which the people of California had been accustomed. One of its first radical innovations was to publish the railroad time-tables without charge after their pub- lication had ceased by reason of the fact that the Southern Pacific refused to pay for the service. THE CALL restored them to its columns in order to serve a public convenience. It was essential that the people should know when the trains ar- rived and departed, and when the South- ern Pacific refused to perform that service THE CALL came to the rescue. “Another unheard-of thing was TuE Carv’s refusal to be bribed by the lottery companies. The advertisements of these swindling concerns are paid for at a very handsome rate and the bait is a sore temptation to newspavers which do not scruple to assist rascally enterprises in robbing the public. Not content with re- fusing thus to be bribed, THE CaLL has vigorously attacked these swindlers and has lent its whole force to the overthrow of the disreputable downtown poolrooms and all other pernicious forms cf gam- bling. Its more recent efforts to overthrow cor- rupt boss politics in the local Republican party are fresh in the minds of the peovle, and its successin the State Convention has been as gratifying as it was complete. ‘While these and other departures which it made were aimed at evils that were sapping the purses and self-respect of the commaunity, it has done many things of a building-up kind. In place of corrupt political management it has supported the leadership of a clean and vigorous man, a member of a family that has done and is doing more for Cali- fornia than any other in the history of the State. It has fought the infamous fund- ing bill because that measure woula con- done the rascality of the aided roads and perpetuate the transportation monopoly which bhas so grievously hampered the progress of California. It has vigorously supported the Nicaragua cana! as a meas- ure which manifestly would lighten the burdens which our people have to bear, It has supported the free coinage of silyer in the conviclion that the interests of the West in particular and of the Nation in general would be greatly advanced by the rebabilitation of the white metal. Last and most advanced of all it has come forth in the advocacy of woman suffrage as a measure both of justice and wisdom. These items make a showing of ad- vanced, aggressive and independent jour- nalism entirely new in this part of the world. In view of the many things which Tre Carn has attempted and achieved there should have been no great surprise at its advocacy of woman suffrage when the occasion arose for taking ground on the subject. That occasion was the eve of a Republican Etate Convention whose in- fluence could be exercised in National affairs. That the convention accepted the policy suggested by this paper was a suffi- cient vindication of Tue CaLL’s advocacy and of the right of theg cause which it sup- ports. In the future there need be no great surprise at any course which Tue CazL may pursue in its determination to refiect and advocate all that is best in the advancement of human progress. RESTRICTING IMMIGRATION, In demanding the enactment of National legislation that will prevent the landing ofobjectionable foreigners upon our shores, the Republican party of California is sus- tained by every political economist ot this country. Foreigners who come here for the purpose of bettering their condition, and identify themselves honestly and sin- cerely with our institutions, are always most welcome. Indeed, such immigrants are cordially invited to come by the Repub- lican party everywhere. Such acquisitions to the country’s numerical and industrial strength are desired. Whether they be farmers, merchants, mechenics or labor- ers, there 18 always unobstructed oppor- tunity, sa far as the good wishes of our people go, for them to build homes for themselves, They are a desirable element in any community, greeted hospitably. But it is the illiterate, the criminal, the social and political agitator, the disturber of the peace, and those who come, not to make this country their permanent home, but to accumulate money for the one pur- pose of returning with it to their European or Asiatic homes, whose coming should be forbidden by our laws. This class does not hesitate to reduce the wage schedules of our wage-earners if thereby they can secure their jobs. It is anything that will enable them to return to their own coun- try with the savings of their wage-cutting methods of procuring employment. These and the other kinds of objection- able persons mentioned are not only never in harmony with our system of zovern- merlt, but for the most part they have con- tempt for it. Some come thinking the United States offers a wider field for a life of crime, a life of pauperism, or oppor- tunity to underbid our own wagemen and wagewomen in the employment market. It is this class the Republican party of California demands that shall be refused permission to land uvon our shores, and the party has no stancher supporters in this than such foreigners as come in hon- esty of purpose and in gooa faith to make industrious and true citizens. “THE SUNDAY CALL" The splendid work being done by the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art and other institutions for the education of young artists is deserving of all consideration, but this should not make us forget that Ban Francisco bad already furnished a number of conspicuous names to the roll of artistic fame before these agencies came into existence. The purpose of a highly iuteresting article in to-morrow’s CALL is to name the distinguished artists that San Francisco has produced and give an outline of their achievements. A description of a remarkable curiosity shop in San Francisco and the stranee his- tory of 1ts creator will bring to the general notice a unique character with which most “old-timers” are familiar. The col- lection bears an intimate relation to the early history of California. One of the most interesting features will be the extraordinary history of the fruit- less effort recently made to bring about the release of a well-known Californian from an insane asvlum where he has been confined for years. Itisone of the most dramatic and pathetic chapters in the his- tory of the State. *Miss Russell”” will have something par- ticularly useful to say on the subject of +'Equine Ailments.” Her contributions to TuE Suspay CALL on the horse are re- garded as a specially valuable feature. In view of the earnest attention which has been recently drawn to the subject of dockyards in this country, a paper by Lieutenant W. R. Hamilton, U. 8. A, on “‘European Dockyards” will be found par- ticalarly interesting. George D. Baird will contribute another to the series of articles on “The Young Athlete.,” This goes to the subject of diet and sleep. The contribution on George Francis Train in last Sunday’s issue attracted so much attention thatit has been deemed advisable to follow it with another original paper entitlied “The Holding Up of the German Mail,” and detailing a dramatic incident in the career of this remarkable and hence they are man. ‘“‘Bachelor Maids of Monterey” is the title of an interesting contribution defail- ing the experiences of seven maidens who set about the task of managing a house without masculine assistance. W. C. Morrow will present an analytical comparison of English and American newspaper methods. All the regular Sunday departments will appear in to-morrow’s issue, full of the latest and best matter that skill can produce and perseverance discover. These pay careful attention to the children, so- ciety, fasbions, music, drama, science, art, literature and others. % All the features of the Sunday issae are designed to carry out the general policy of | TuE CALL to be a newspaper which is none the less able and comprehensive because it is clean and wholesome. That the ad- vent of a newspaper aimed distinctively to edify, delight and instruct the home is a welcome factor in local journalism is evidenced by the appreciation which it re- ceives. Its value asan exponent of Cali- fornia’s resources and attractions is un- derstood by those who make a point of sending the Sunday issue to their Eastern friends. e THE PHILOSOPHY OF PROTECTION The declaration of the Republican Con- vention at Sacramento in favor of such protection to American industries as shall remove them from beyond the hurtful in« fluence of foreign competition voices the philosophy of true political economy. It declares for protection in the fuliest and deepest meaning of the word. It dpes not make manufacturing enterprises the cén- ter of all efforts, leaving other industries to participate in the overflow of the good that come direct to mill ana factory, but purposes to have all industries receive their full share of protection direct and on their own merits. The Sacramento declaration contem- plates comprehensive reciprocal relations between all the industries of the country upon the broad and substantial basis of mutual interests and oneness of ultimate benetit. It means that in the whole range of employment and employments’ prod- ucts, from the most obscure day laborer to the most gigantic industrial plant, there shall not be left a single individual or in- terest unprotected. This is the solution of the whole problem of protection, and the country will show wisdom if it accepts it and makes it the chief stone of the cor- ner of the Nation. The science of government teaches self- ishness as between nations. Not that self- ishness which is born of envy and greed, but of that which holds to the well- grounded doetrine of self-preservation first, and then the reaching out to help broaden the avenues of the going and coming of others, Civilization owes- its progress to the practical application of just such prin- ciples, and in declaring itself in favor of protection that protects from the lowest to the highest active factor in the Nation’s work the Republican party of California teaches the highest and truest philosophy of economics and lays down the principles of government that not only tend to the greater accumulation of wenlth, but to the advancement of the people along all lines. that make for the loftiest and worthiest civilization. The readiness with which men believe all the reports of miraculous freaks of Kansas cyclones, while remaining incred- ulous of what is told them of the effects of California sunsaine, is another evidence of the proneness of the human mind to turn away from the good and accept the worst that comes. S——————— As Senator Hill was able to induce only five Senators to vote with him in opposi- tiow to an investigation of the bond deals, it seems clear the dwindling process will soon reduce the Democratic party in Con- gress to such a condition it can crawl out of a keyhole and escape notice. AROUND THE CORRIDORS. L. L. Williams of Sitka, United States Mar- shal of Alaska, is among the recent arrivals at the Grand. Mr. Williams has been in Alaska long enough now to be regarded as an old set- tler. He is one of the influential men of that distant Territory. Mr. Williams went to Alaska from Boone- ville, Mo., in 1886, having been appointed by President Cleveland to the position of United States Commissioner and Judge of Alaska. He served four years and was appointed a member of the World’s Fair Commission from Alaska. Some time after this he was appointed United Btates Marshal for Alaska and he has held that position ever since. He tells many things of interest concerning the land which, at the time of Seward’s pur- chase, was considered little better than a huge iceberg. ; “There is an extraordinary rush to the gold flelds,” he said, “but atSitks theinierest seems was worn with canvas leggings of leather color, the knickers were of satine of the same shade. A flax:colored linen shirt waist com- pleted this smart outfit, A white duck skirt, with leggings of the same, with a white linen shirt waist, was Charming, but cannot be recommended for anything but a dress parade. A skirt of black with black canvas lepgings, black satine knickerbockers and & white shirt Wwaist with black tieand belt makes a strikingly neat costume, The skirt is cut circular with a bias back seam with the fullness laid in two forward trimming pleats op either side, the placket be- ing at the mmdgo ‘e, both sides of which but- ton over the side.

Williams of Alaska, Now Here, Formerly United States Judge and Also World’s Fair Commissioner, (Sketched from life by a “Call™ artist.] largely centered in the Cooks Inlet mines. The day I left a steamer arrived with 300 people and when they got off and scattered about they almost blocked the streets of the little town. “The people arriving are of all kinds. Some are careful and with some money, and others are adventurers, pure and simple, no doubt. Some people ask if we have plenty of food at Sitka. There we have just as much propor- tionately as you have here and as little chance of running short. Itis away out in the inte- rior, as, for instance up the Yokon, that the supply of food may become limited. “In 1890 the census of Sitka showed about 1100 people. Of this number I think probably 150 were Americans and kuropeans and the remsinder Russians and Indians. The Rus- sians, so called, are nearly all halfbreeds or are in some way tinctured with Indian blood. The Indians in Alaska provide themselves with food, but the Russians are very indolent and seem to care nothing about providing for the future.” Marshal Williams brought down anfIndian and a white man for incarceration at San Quentin, the latter for selling liquor to Indians. When he reached the prison there was a suggestion made that, as required by prison reguiatfons, his gun would be left outside. But Mr. Williams didn’t have any, nor had he had a single weapon of any kind with him on his en- tire trip of over 2000 miles. He said he couldn’t have lost his prisoners if he had wanted to, for prison life suited both exactly. All they wanted wasa they could get plenty to eat and a chance to sleep, The white man was sent up for two years, with $1000 fine adaitional,but under the bank- rupt law the fine will only mean an imprison- ment extra of about a month. George Moon, Special Deputy Collector of Customs, came down with Marshal Williams. WHEN THE CARPET'S UP. Tacks, tacks, tacks, On the cold, gray bedroom floor.

LADY'S BICYCLE COSTUME. The ideal bicyeling costume for summer is the cloth skirt with a shirt waist. Leggings to match the skirt are most becoming, but many prefer cotton canvas or cotton covert cloth for comfort. Cotton duck, canvas, galatea cloth, brown Holland and the cottons which are made to resemble covert cloth are all used for skirts, but must be c enough to keep them from fl: about un- comfortably. Such a skirt with ngs to match and m{ sort of shirt waist makesa de- lightfully cool and chic costume for & short spin, but for touring a cloth skirt is preferable. ‘Oue of mixed iweed with facing of leather heavily faced to insure weight mitted into the public schools, or must they be taught in their own institutions?” was sub- mitied to Superintendent Babcock, who in turn asked for the opinion of the State Super- intendent and received the following answer: In reply to yours of yesterday’s date let me call our ettention to sections 1637 and 1638 of the olitical Code, which are as follows: 7. He (census marshal) must include In his report ehildren who are absent attending Institutions of learning and whove parents or guardians are resi- dents of the district: he must also include as een- sus children the children of Indian parents who pay iaxes and of Indian parents who are not liv ng In the tribal relation: he must also include all orphan children absent from the district in orphan asyloms whose guardians réside in the district and every half orphan absent in asylums whose surviving parent or guardian resides iu the ais- trict; ha must also inciude all native-born Chinese chbildren. 1638. He must not include in his repor: children who are attending institutions of learn- ing, or such benevolent ‘nstituiions es deafand dumb, blind and orphan asylums in his district whose parents or guardians do not reside therein.” I’udge from the wording of these sections that half orphans in the various orphan asvlums of San Francisco, whose (remaining) parents reside in said City, have been enumerated by your census 3 marshals and are entitled to enter your public schools. Tn the case of whole orphans or “aban- doned” children, it seems to me it would be a proper construction of the law to consider the eads of the various orphan asylums as the guar- dians of such children for educational purposes, and that they be enumerated as census children in your City, and therefore entitled to all the privi- ieges of the puolic schools of said City. In the case of half orphans, whose (rematning) parents reside outside the Clty, under the law., these children are enumerated elsewhere. Such children could, however, be admitted to your schools on the condition mentioned In subdlvis fon fifteenth, section 1617, which is as follows: “‘Section 1617, The powers and duties of trustees of school districts and boards of education in cities are as follows: Fifteenth—To permit children from other districis to attend the Schools of their dis- trict only upon the consent of the trustees of the district in which such chil iren reside; provided, that should the trustees of the district in which children whose parents or guardians desire them 10 attend in other districts, reside, refuse to grant their consent, the parents or guardians of such children may appeal to the County Superintendent and his decision shall bepfinal.” The cities of Sacramen 0 ana Los Angeles follow the pian here mdicatea aud, as & matter of fact, the children in non-sectarian and iTotestant orphan asylums attend the public schools ana are taught by public sehool teachers. In Los Angeles they attend the public schools in proximity to the seylum. In Sacramento the 8chool balidings are, I believe, on the asylum grounds. and, perhaps, belong to ths asylum; but the teachers are engage ana pald by the city.’ So far as I know the chil- dren In the Catholic asylums are taught by private teachers. Very respectfully, SAMUEL T. Brack, Stace Superintendent. ' PARAGRAPHS ABOUT PEOPLE. The Pope has not yet decided to send a rep- resentative to the Russian coronation.

The San Francisco CALL, one of the most able and fearless papers on the Pacific Coast, has come outas the champion of woman’s rights. Well done, Brother Shortridge. We extend to you the right hand of support in your noble stand. Ukiah Herald. The San Francisco CALL is the first of the big dailies of the metropolis of California to come out in favor of woman’s suffrage. In an editorial Sunday it urgés the Revublican party of Cealifornia to adopt a resolution favor- ing the eleventh amendment to the State con- stitution, which gives to the women of Califor- nia tue right of suffrage. The Best Method. ‘Woodland Home Alliance. The best method of promoting the interests of labor and of the equal rights movement is to extend the circulation of THE CALL, the only daily paper with sufficlent moral courage to stand for the right, regnrdless of consequences. Subscribe for it, and induce your friends to follow your exsmple. All Rejoiced. The Pacific Ensign. The friends of equal suffrage were rejoiced at Sunday’s CALL coming out boldly and in a masterly way declaring in favor of the pro- posed amendment.. THE CALL is looked upon as being the most progressive and liberal paper in the Cify, and is a favorite in many households, as not 50 much objectionable mat- ter is found in its columns. We ‘congratulate the suffragists on the acquisition of this able champion, as their cause will be strengthened E‘y the great influence wielded by this influen- al paper. Distinguished Honor. Woodland Home Alliance, The friends of equal suffrage are everywhere rejoicing over the fact that the San Francisco CALL has been wise and just enough to declare in favor of the proposed eleventh amendment 10 the State constitution of California, to ex- tend the suffrage to women on equal terms with men. To THE CALL belongs &e distin- guished honor of being the first great daily newspaper thathas had the courage to give free expression to this great prineiple of equal rights and justice. Let readers of the Home Alliance exert themselves to extend the circu- lation of THE CALL so that every voter in the Btate may receive it regularly. HUMOR OF THE HOUR.
