FOLI It begins to look like Boies in the Demo- cratic camp. Join a Republican club at once and help organize prosperity. This time the mugwumps have been dumped by all parties. Chicago might as well arrange to hold nvention in two sections. Eastern Democrats will soon be claiming that bolti that c blican unity in the political fieln, but the only Cleveland’s head was cert the third term proposition. needed. No letter was Grover has heard from Kentucky and her subsequent proceedings interest him no more. An open session of the bond deal inves- tigating committee would be of interest just now. Intellizent Democrats had better drop their party before it coes to pieces and drops them. The Chicago convention will be a swal- lowtail affair, with the tails split clear up to the collar. The split in Democracy is now suf- ficiently wide to enable the people to see it is full of punk. Carlisle might ple of Watterson and go to Europe until after the election. anish Government has tound out ‘The 8 that Weyler is a misfit and will put him on the bargain counte: The only effect of the Carlisle movement in Kentucky wrs to develop an aggravated boom for Joe Blackburn. If Congress is to stay in session much longer it should give Cleveland another jolt on the Cuban guestion. It looks as if the party of calamity would be dispersed, dissipated and out of sight before the people get a lick atit. The movement of Republicans towara St. Louis will end in a clear case of getting together in every sense of the phrase. What was expected to be a deadtock at the Chicago convention will be opened with a silver key and show a gold bolt. It seems that no party or faction will undertake to carry Clevelandism in this campaign. The rubbish will be left where it fell. The equilibrium of Europe is so unstable | at present that a riot anywhere within its confines -shakes it like a convulsion of nature. You not enly get a longer ride in San Francisco for a nickel than in any other city, but you also get a longer time to wait for a transfer. Cleveland’s civil service order has roused a more vigorous resolve among the people to turn the rascals out, and a way will be found to do it. The attempt to silver-plate the Demo- cratic party is a pretty good scheme, but there isn’t silver enough in tne country to cover the deficit and the bond issues. Before the struggle between England | and Germany for supremacy in South Africa is over Kruger may yet wish he had welcomed Jameson and reformed the Transvaal as an independent country. There is 1o longer any sound of the old song about divisions in Republican ranks. Some tunes are too tough for even a Democratic lyre to play without breaking astring. The Louisville Courier-Journal declares that Kentucky will be Republican for years to come, but the good news is weak- ened by evidences that the Courier-Journal itself thinks of breaking into the Grand 0Old Party. In saying the Democratic party will make the tariff issue of secondary impor- tance in the campaign the New York Times mistakes the situation. The tariff will make the Democratic party of second- ary imporiance. The disturbances among the Cretans have given the Turkish empire another shake, and once more Europe is alarmed that the structure is about to fall before the nations have agreed as to which of them shall save the pieces. The Victoria Colonist, in commenting upon the battle-ship Oregon, says: “A sea captain who was a passenger to this port “recently from California states the vessel was badly ‘hogged’ and that this defect was apparent before the ship was taken out of the dock just previous to her speed ‘trial.’’ If this.captain can show up long enough to prove his existence and verify is story he will add much to the luster of the Oregon, for if she could beat the world’s record when ‘‘hogged” just think what she could do if she had the hog on the other fellow, g | is not only the biggest ly level on | s well follow the exam- | FOR HARMONY. The time has come in the course of the Presidential campaign when every Repub- Jican and every citizen who favors the pro- tection of American industry should be- | gin to take an active part in organizing for | the canvass and in promoting that har- | mony of feeling out of which only can | come the enthusiasm and the energy necessary to make the coming victory a | complete and final overthrow of the free trade forces. Whileit may seem a paradox to assert | that the weakness of the opposing force is | & source of danger to the Republican | party, itis not the less a truth. If old | party lines were to be strictly drawn dur- | ing the campaign, ii Democracy should come into the field presenting a solid frontin support of Clevelandism and the Chicago platform of 1892, it would be an easy fight for the hosts of protection and bimetallism to inflict upon it a crushing | defeat. Unity in the ranks of the enemy would result in a firmer cohesion among Republicans. There is no such unity, however. A thousand signs presage & | split in the Democratic party. Instead of a straight fight against Clevelandism the Republican party will baye to meet a | guerrilla warfare in which it will be as- sailed by four or five factions rather than parties and will consequently run risks in | many localities of having its energies dis- sipated instead of being massed and com- bined for a victory all along the line. | With the gold wing Democracy shout- ing one thing, the silver wing Democracy another, the Populists a third and the proposed silver party a fourth, many men who bave bitherto acted with the Re- publican party without deep convictions of its supreme value to the Republic may | be tempted to wander off after some of the new fads of the time. Thisis the one danger in the campaign. It will not materially | affect the National ticket. We can be sure the nominee at St. Louis will be the next President of the United States. It may affect, however, the election of Con- gressmen and State legislators. In those | points, therefore, the canvass must be | carefully gnarded, and now is the time to effect the fu organization ot the party so | | that the guard may be set at once. Under no circumstances should any | loyal Republican overiook the import- | ance to the campaign of those elections | which are called local. We must have Re- | | publican Congressmen and Republican | legislators for the State. California must | be put in a position of harmony with the | | National Government. Her Representa- tives and her Senators must be men who ill uphold the bands of the coming Re- | publican President. The local feghts,as they are called, will be as important as any in the campaign. No Republican and | no supporter of the principle of protection | should fall away from the party ranksin these contests. The opposition may scat- ter and disperse, but Republicans and | protectionists must stand united, organ- ized, harmonious, and resolved on a vic- tory in every county as well as in the Nation. 1 = — | GOOD AND BAD NEWS SERVICE. | The Associated Press does not need to | contradict itself to prove that it isan un- | reliable news-gatherer, for the public has abundance of evidence of ihat fact every day. But it would seem that as a business | proposition, and to build up a reputation | for having ability, and occasionally in- clination 1o tell the truth unvarnished, its managers would be careful not to let glar- | ingly contradictory stories go outon the | same sheet of paper. | It supplied its patrons Sunday night with the information that Senator Quay concedes McKinley’s nomination on the first ballot, and then it goes on to give the Senator’s analysis of the situation, show- | | ing where McKinley’s votes will come | | | from and how many of them there will be. | At the same time this wonderful news | | agency gives it out that Mr. Quay will | | allow his own name to be presented to the | convention. That is to say, Senator Quay | knows for sure that Major McKinley will | be nomiuated on the first ballot, but for | all that he intends to try to defeat him by | presenting himself as a candidate. But that is not all. The news was sen over the same wire and practically at the | same time with another report that! | Senator Quay positively declined to | talk about Major McKinley or any- body else in connection with the St. | Louis nomination. Of course the Asso- | ciated Press can say it is its business to | afirm dnd contradict and let its patrons | take their choice. In fact thatseems to | be its way, but since the United Press can | be -relied upon to chronicle events as they | | occur there is no reason why people | should not have the straight of every- thing, only that a few will persist in pin- | ning their faith to the old hearsay con- | cern. - It need not be said that THE CArLL is served by the United Press. Its| | splendid, far-reaching and reliable news | | service shows that et PR S | = { | DEMOCRATIC BOLTERS. | | There is a meaning in the threat of lead- | ing Democrats that they will support the | | St. Louis ticket if the Chicago convention | is controlled by the Blands, Altgelds and | Tillmans of the party. There is meaning | in it because it is men who are identified with the business enterprises of the coun- try that are talking that way. Naturally | they would prefer a candidate of their own party, but as between a man whose knowl- | | edge of political economy is superficial at best, and whose principles of government | are as unstable as March winds, and a | strong, self-asserting Republican, they | would prefer the latter. | There are more protection Democrats than most people suspect, and there are enough of them to prevent free-tradelegis- | tion by joining hands with the Republican party, and they will do it. In fact the leaders of the party unaerstand that, and hence it is that they are trying to subor- dinate the tariff to the money question. Indeed some of them express a willing- ness to revamp the Wilson-Gorman act on lines of the law that it repealed. It would seem, therefore, that the Chicago conven- tion will have to reject and repudiate the Bland faction or turn the machinery of the party over to them. There appears to be no middle ground upon which the party can be united. Those interested in indus- tries will quit the party if tinkefing with the tariff is attempted. The Cleveland following will stay at home on election day if the gold standard is not indorsed, and the Blandites will go overto the Popu- lists or nominate their kind of a candidate if the convention does not declare for free silver coinage at 16 to 1and lower custom- house charges. In short, the Democratic camp is full of Ishmaelites. THE POSITION OF COONGRESS. Most likely Congress will adjourn this week. There is much important unfin- ished business, but the desire of Congress- men to go home and look after their fences is making them almost too restless to be of much value as law-makers just now. There is, however, some reason for wanting to adjourn aside from the demand of their fences. The lower house has evinced a strong | disposition to enact every needed law, and it has been conspicuous in its efforts to re- lieve the treasury and start going the work of improving the rivers and harbors. But, as everybody knows, the Democrats and Populists in the Senate stand ready to defeat any legislation that is general in its character and purpose, and that the Presi- dent stands ready to veto anything that chances to slip through the Senate. If, therefore, Congress adjourns without accomplishing much the fault will not be with the Republican side of the chamber. No doubt. however, the river and harbor bill will be passed over the President’s veto, but there is danger that the general appropriation bill will be vetoed, for it is a cold day wken Cleveland cannot find some way to handicap the business inter- ests of the country. If he does, of course Congress * will remain in session long enough to pass it over his head. It isun- fortunate that the anti-bond bill cannot be made a law, and something definite con- cerning the belligerency of Cuba agreed upon, but the country will have to be patient until the White House has a Re- publican occupant. ORETE AND EUROPE. The war for separation which the Cretans are waging against the Ottoman empire is likely to involve England and Germany, if not other nations as well. There are 20,000 Cretans under arms, and recruits from Greece are swelling the number. As is known, Crete is the largest island in the Mediterranean, having a length of about 160 miles by ten to thirty-five miles wide, with mountain ranges extending the whoie length. The population numbers quite 200,000, but only about 40,000 are Mussulmans, who are all natives. Theisland occupies a strategic position of great importance, and it is this more than anything else thatis in- teresting the powers. It has been thought, in fact predicted by diplomats for many years, that the inde- pendence of Crete or its annexation to Greece, with the consent of the powers, would be the beginning of the disintegra- tion of the Turkish empire in Europe. The powers are not at all averse to that, | but the question of dividing the pieces is a most serious one, and until that1s settled it is not likely the Porte will bave occaslon to get ready to move his capital into Asia. The dispatches suggest that most of the powers would not object to Greece acquir- ing Crete, and that would be the natural place for the island, for the Greek lan- guage is the only one spoken on theisland; besides, it formerly belonged to Greece and was, in fact, the earthly home of nearly all the Grecian gods and goddesses. At this distance it looks very much as though the beginning of the end of the European side of the Porte’s dominions was at bhand, and that Zeus, Minos and the thousand and one other Greek or rather Crete divinities were conducting the movement from caverns in Mount Ida and Madara Vouna. Anyway there are 000 Cretans under arms, and they pro- claim it to be their purpose to make it a war of separation from the Ottoman em- pire or of extermination, but meanwhile if England and Germany cannot agree as to what disposition shall be made of the island the Cretans will have very little encouragement from the nations. UNITY OF PARTY. In their address to the public the leaders of the National Silver party say: “The unity of old parties is the death of silver.” The Democratic party 1s so near gone that it may be called dead. It follows, then, that the National Silver party leaders refer to the “anity” of the Republican party from *gilded mansion to lowly cot- tage.” That the Republican party is a unit in purpose, so far as rescuing the Nation | from Clevelandism is concerned, there is not the shadow of a doubt, but there are differences oi opinion as to how the country can best be restored to where it was before it was wrecked by the Democ- racy. Some think the tariff question should predominate, while others think that no tariff legisiation should be under- taken until the money question is settled, Now, the St. Louis convention was called to adjust all such differences by compro- mise. Those who think the tariff question should be made the chief stone of the corner will yield a hittle, as will those who believe the money question should be the base, middle and top of the convention’s purpose. And when all these adjustments are aifected, the platform made and the candidates named, the party will go forward as a unit, and whoever encourages dissensions. or refuses to accept the plat- | form and candidates, who will represent the best thought of the party, because this or that declaration of principle is not up to his expectation, fails to appreciate the importance of party unity. KENTUCKY ADVAI?GING. In admitting that Kentucky “is from now on in the Republican column,” the Louisville Courier-Journal swallows a bit- ter pill, but it had to be swallowed. Cleve- land and Carlisle and thieir goldbug follow- ers were turned down with a dull thud last week. The battle for supremacy between Democratic silverites and Democratic gold-standardites was fought to a finish, and although the Blackburn faction won, the fruits of the victory will be gathered by the Republican party. This is exactly as it should be. Ken- tucky is rich in undeveloped mineral and agricultural wealth, but it neeaed just such a revolution as will come of last week's Democratic election of delegates to the Chicago convention to overturn and over- throw the “before de war” methods and machinery of Kentucky’s way of doing things. But the election of almost a solid anti- Cleveland delegation to the Chicago con- vention will further widen the split in the party and make its disruption doubly sure. The Courier-Journal, although not liking Cleveland a little bit, sees in the election returns signs of the times which point to the repudiation of the present administra- tion, 1ncluding Kentucky’s favorite son, Carlisle, and Kentucky’s leading newspa- per, the Courier-Journal, and the election of the Republican party to power, perhaps for all time. How far the Courier-Journal will blame Cleveland for it all remains to be seen, Whatever it was—too much or too little Cleveland—that disrupted the Democratic party in Kentucky matters not, but in re- turning to the political faith of the Clays and the Crittendens no mistake has been made. They saw more than half a cen- tury ago that Kentucky could become a great and rich commonwealth only by such National protection laws as would allow the State to develop ber vast natural resources. In going from Cleveland back to Clay Kentucky has taken a long stride forward. The National Association of Democratic Clubs has adopted a button bearing the initials N. A. D. C., and political experts have figured out that they stand for “Not a darn chance.” One of the pleasantest aspects of the year is that it is the last of Grover, 15 AROUND THE CORRIDORS. Superlor Judge C. E. Mack of Virginia City is among the arrivals at the Russ. Judge Mack hasa very large judicial district, comprising the counties of Ormsby, Storey, Douglas, Lyon and Esmeralda. He is the gentleman who beat Judge Rising, after he had been thirty years on the bench in that district. Court is beld at Virginia City, Carson, Dayton, Genoa and Hawthorne, the county seats of the five aforesaid counties. “It keeps me traveling all the time,” said the Judge. “Idon’tgeta moment to myself. No, I am not a Democrat; not by & great deal.

Thus it appears that both bonds and green- backs have the same basis, the good faith and pledge of the Nation. if the bonds are good as gold because the security is good so are the il’egnbuclm, for the security is the same, and laine was right in seying a greenback is & good dollar—good for every eciiizen—*because every dollar's worth of property in the United Statés is behind it, and the ilfe's blood of every true and loyal citizen is behind it,” just s it'is behind the National flag or & two-cent ostage stamp if the authority which issues he dollar unfurls the flag_or makes the post- age stamp is challenged. The question of ‘‘re- demption” is reserved for the next ‘“letter from the people.” JOSEPH ASBURY JOHNSON. 11 Essex street, San Francisco. PARAGRAPHS ABOUT PEOPLE. Captain William L.

A GOOD THING FOR BANKERS, EUT HARD ON ALL OTHERS. To the Editor of the San Francisco Call—SIR: Itis almost stariling to a Populist to read in orthodox old-party newspapers, which never have evinced any sympathy whatever with the People's party, such open and merciless ex- posures of the enormous expense and ab- surdity of hoarding $100,000,000 in gold asa reserve for the “redemption” of greenbacks, quoied in my last letter. Referring to recent bond issues and the approaching sale of an- other 100,000,000 of bonds to meintain this gold reserve, 1t was said that “‘these bonds will cost the people about $350,000,000 in the form of interest to maintain $346.000,000 of greenbacks, being $4,000,000 more than the greenbacks, a large part of which are now held in the treasury, not in circulation, and in the end the bondholders will receive nearly double the amount of the greenbacks'—thatis, $36: 000,000 in bonds and_the 350,000,000 in in terest, or & total of $718,000.000 paid to bond- holders to protect $346,000,000 in greenbacks, which will themseives still remain unpaid or “unredeemed!” But this infamous gold reserve has destroyed much more than $713,000,000 of the Nation’s resources. Not ouly the gold for the final “‘re- demption” of the greenbacks must be acquired by tne Government, but aiso for the ultimate payment of the 4 per cent 40-year bonds (see Coinage Laws of the United States, March 5 1896, Government Printing-office, page 786) sold In 1876 to purchase the $100,000,000 goid coin reserve (just (wenty years ago), together with the interest on the same, which in forty years amouuts to $160,000,000, making total of $260,000,000 for the first sale of bonds | made to establish tke gold reserve. Now, to getat the true grand total of the costof this reserve we must add this $260,000,000 to the above $713,000,000, makirg it in tact $978,- 000,000—s1most $1,000,000,000 in gold. It must now be apparent éven to the average reader of THE CALL that this single scheme de- vised by John Sherman, which is Onlz a smell and almost insignificant part of his “best financial system in the world.’ so much praised by us before the advent of the Populists, will inevitably cost the nation nearly $1,- 000,000,000, not one dollar of the actual $973,000,000 being even for one day neces- sary for any such purpose. It would be strange indeed if Senator Butler or some other Popu- list Senator did not introduce a bill to prohibit the President from issuing any more bonds with which to replenish the gold reserve with- out the consent of Congress. But what are thesedreadful greenbacks which have already cost almost three times their face value in gold? Let one of the greatest men of recent Years answer this question. James G. Blaine, in a speech at Skowhegan, Me., in 1864, teking a greenback from his pocket and holaing it up to his audience, said: “What is this? A dollar. And itis a good dol- lar—good for the farmer, the mechanic, the merchant and everybody. What makes it & good dollar? Because every dollar's worth of property in the United Statés is behind it and the life’s blood of every true and loyal citizen is bfihlnd it. And that makes it a good dol- lar.” Thus spoke the statesman and the pa- triot, but his name was not John Sherman. Biaine stood for his country and its honor.

In our dl{ John Sherman says the National banks are all based on (sup- ported hyl) Government bonds.

FASHIONABLE COLLARS AND CUFFS The design shown here is a sailor collar, which may be made with square-cornered points or with long-pointed ends that extend to the waistline. With this' collar pattern is shown a flaring cuff pattern. Flax-colored batiste and linen are much used for these collars and cuffs, which may be worn with any dress. Heavy linen is simply trimmed plain or with hemstitching. Light- weight linen, batiste or lawn is often made with a narrow insertion of lace or embroidery let in above a hem an inchand a half to two inches deep; or embroidery or lace is stitched along the edges. Pure white linen lawn makes very dainty and dressy collars. Narrow butter-colored Valenciennes lace and insertions are used as trimming, the lace just stitched on around the edges, the insertion let in an inca from the edge; some show two rows of the inser- tion. Pure white lace is also much used on white lawn, 3 White piquet is another fabric employed in making these accessories, and may be trimmed in the same manner as linen or may be used perfectly plain.
