From St. Louis every There may yet be a surprise party at the convention, The only issue local Democracy cares for is Daggett or no Daggett. Things look certain for the first ballot, but everybody feels uncertain. Leave orders for Tug Suxpay Carn and you will have good reading to-morrow. it would seem somebody should tell Mr, ilannathereissuch a thing as overdoing it. The first ballot at St. Louis will tell the tale, but what the tale wiil be is a mystery story. On the platform question at St. Louis there are about as many planks as there are men. said and done there will be Louisthan at the Santa Cruz Afterall is 1 un at St roival. Bland looms up as a Presidential can- diaate despite the fact thereis no bland feeling in his party. This isagood time to remember that accidents are liable to happen in even the best reguiated conventions. The loveof the convention for McKinley is undoubtedly true, and perhaps that is the reason it doesn’t run smooth, Foote would like to sway the Democratic Convention, but the chances are he will not be permitted even to agitate it. This Congress could notdo much with Cleveland in the White House, but it managed him better than the Democratic Congress. It is already evident there will be nothing at the Democratic State Conven- tion but mighty small politics treated in a small way. The money question that will have to be settled first is one of wages and good prices, and the plain answer to that ques- tion is protection. The Socialists are reported to have put up a State ticket in Ohio, but they could not have put it up very high, for it isn’t visible above the borizon. The greatest issue of the campaign will be protection, and no loyal supporter of that American svstem will abandon it for any minor issue whatever. Goldbug Democratic organs in the East re showing an earnest desire to put the money question out of sight before the Chicago convention meets It the St. Louis convention declares for gold, the money question will go over to the next campaign, for no one will trust Democracy with any issue. While the leaders are selecting the standard bearer at St. Louis the rank and le of the party should be organizing and getting ready to ratify the choice. The increase in the Republican County Committee membership will be timely. There is much work to be done and the committee must have members enough to do it well. Not one of the prairie States will admit that any of the cyclones originated with- initsborders; each claims that every storm started somewhere else and was blown in by accident. It is the voice of the people which has made protection the chief issuein the cam- paign, and the same voice warns the gold- bugs not toclaim the coming victory as their triumph. This time the Democrats of the House joined in a vote of thanks to Tom Reed, and the display of the conquest of their old passions was a triumph for them as well as for him. The appropriations of Congress were clearly based upon an expectation of a re- turn fo Republican prosperity under the next administration, and the people will see to it that the expectations are realized, Foraker is said to be the most aramatic statesman in American public life, and in nominating McKinley at St. Louis, he will have a stage, a role and audience that will give him a splendid chance to show his talent. Tom Reed is the ablest leader in the Re- publican party and best fitted to be Presi- dent, but fortunately for the man from Maine, the words of Grover have long since lost their power to hurt anybody. When Bland was asked if he would ac- cevt the Democratic nomination on a free- silver platform, he promptly replied, “Yes, and would be elected,” which only goes to show how foolish men become when they answer more than they are asked. Tn the strain of the contest at St. Louis no Republican should permit himself to be drawn into a faction fight. Let usbegin the new era by showing lhe_ ‘world that Culifornia Republicans can stand together for the party and the State in spite of Dpersonal differences, M | THE FIFTY-FOURTH OONGRESS, ! The first session of the Fifty-fourth Congress is a past event and its history is written. That it did not accomplish all that was required at its hands will be ad- mitted, but it could not have been other- wise, so far as the lower house is con- | cerned. At the outset the Republican majority in the House of Representatives was confronted by a nostile administra- tion in all the departments, and subse- quently a combination between Democrats and Populists in the Senate placed obstrue- tions in the way of every measure that would not pay tribute to the combine’s vagaries by adding some economic or monetary proposition that was wholly and entirely foreign to the purpose of the measure. Never was the lower house of Congress so Landicapped by its co-workers in the Senate and White House. It was not to be expected, however, that the President would give the Representatives of the people a whit more assistance than | he was obliged to, nevertheless he was | most cordially invited, urged indeed, to help Congress relieve the distress of the country which the Wilson-Gorman tarif] act had inflicted upon it. But notwithstanding it was uphill work from the day Congress convened until it adjourned, a surprisingly large amount of good was accomplisned. It was no fault| of the Republican members that no relief | was extended to the treasury. When Con- gress met it did not stop to criticize the wretched and grossly,incompetent man- agement of the Nation’s finances, but i straightway set about to devise ways and means for the treasury’s relief so tbat the Nation’s good name and credit might not be impaired. A proposition that would afford ample relief was submitted to the Senate for its con- currence, but it was rejected by the combination of Democrats and Popu- lists already referred to. Still, had 1t reached the President, as was subsequently ascertained, he would have vetoed it al- most viciously because it was not exactly the plan be had suggested. So, rather than co-operate with a Republican Con- gress to give the treasury the much-needed present relief and protection against fu- ture assaults upon it by Wall street and London money sharks, the President in- cumbered the people witn an additional debt of $100,000,000. When the river and harbor bill—a bill that scarcely did justice to the commerce of the country because it did not provide for a sufficiently large expenditare of money to meet the demand with proper liberality—reachea the President he promptly returned it with excuses for his veto that were weak almost to imbecility. But the Republican party quickiy rallied and passed the measure over his head. The blunder of the Wilson-Gorman tariff act allowing alcohol to go untaxed when used in the arts and seiences vas remedied by wiping it out entirely, thus putting a 4 Stop to glaring frauds upon the treasury. Reasonable sums of money were appro- priated for coast defense and for new war- ships and other needs of the navy. The general expense account of the Govern- ment was provided for as well as it could e under Democratic free trade, but not a dollar was appropriated for which there Was not a pressing need. The sympathy of the people with the Cubans and their heroic struggle for independence was ex- pressed in plain and distinct language, and it is no fault of Congress taat the belligerency of the patriots in Cuba has not been recognized by our Government. The President has interposed excuses and objections all along, and is still doing so. Take it altogether, then, it is remark- able that Congress should have done so much for the country under snch adverse circumstances. Alone the Republican majority stood battling against a hostile President on one side and a Democratic- Populist combine on the other, but the country is stronger every way for having such a Congress, not only for the good it accomplished, but as a reminder to the peorle that if they would have the Na- tion’s credit maintained and their own highways of commercial operations kept free of hindering obstacles and opposing nfluences they must rally to their old defender and protector, the Republican party. { THE FIRST VOTE. ‘‘Be sure you are right, then go aheaa,” is the best advice that can be given the young man who will cast his first vote next November. Association and home influence have a good deal to do in deter- | mining what is right with most voung veople and, perhaps, it is best that it should be so, but the time comes now and then when the young man should rise | above traditions and inherited opinions | and be a thinker unto himself. Every young man expects to become a factor in the world’s business life—in a profession or otherwise—and he should know that next to his integrity the question of how the best possible conditions for the en- couragement of the enterprise in which he ventures may be established and main. | tained is the leading one. He must not eschew politics in its higher meaning, for it is the science of govern-'| ment. He must eschew politics in its | lower meaning, for it leads to individual and community degradation. But he must, he is obliged by the terms of his citizenship, to be a politician to the extent at least of being a student of the philoso- phy of politics that he may know what is the best and what is the worst thing the community could do to strengthen its social fabric and commercial highways, Rightly engaging in practical politics is applying common-sense business prinei- ples upon high ethical lines to the con- duct of the affairs of the community as a whole, to the end that the influence of hurtful factors may be minimizea. It is incumbent upon every man to be that kind of an active, practical politician. When the first voter sets about analyzing the weak and strong spots in existing con- ditions he very naturally comes to some conclusion as to how the weak and dan- gerous places may best be remedied, and it is right here that he is likely to let sen- timent overshadow judgment. But he need be at no loss for reliable data. Prior to 1860 the growth of the Nation’s wealth was slow, spasmodic and uncertain. This Wwas necessarily so because the monetary system of the country was based upon the honesty, or rather the dishonesty, of what were called *‘wildcat” banks. The circu- lating money medium of the country was always subject to the wildest fluctuations. There was no stability anywhere in the business world, and in the eighty-five pre- ceding years the Nation had accumulated but little wealth, comparatively speaking. In the three decades following 1860 the Republican party conducted the sffairs of the Nation, and ia those thirty years it increased the wealth of the country nearly four times over and by its wise adminis- tration of the public affairs of the people nearly $10,000,000,000 was induced to find employment in the construction of rail- ways alone. Not only so, but enterprises for the manufacture of nearly every known quality and kind of merchantable goods and wares sprang up in every State. There was waiting employment for all who chose to work, and at the end of the | for United States owned their own homes than did the same class of people live in their own houses in any two of the coun- tries of Europe. Therefore the Republi- can party i3 the capitalist's party, the manutacturer’s party, the miner's party, the merchant's party, the mechanic’s party, the farmer's party, the laborer’s party, the home-seeker's party, the pro- fessional man’s party, and by every rule of logic and by the history of eventsit should be the party of every first vater. THE FRATERNITY OF BARBERS, The journeymen barbers of San Fran- cisco have rights, and they propose to maintain them. And not only so, but they propose to introduce quite a number of much needed reforms. For this purpose they aim at effecting a new’ organization, and assoon asitis completed, which will be by a charter from the International Union, they will make the effort to close all shops at 8 P. M. on weekdays, and not open at all on Sundays. This is a right move in a right direction. There isno sense at all in keeving barber-shops open in the evening until all opportunity for recreation and amusement is lost; besides, barbers who have families should not be deprived of the pleasure of spending their evenings at home any more than any other men. But there are still other reasons why it is desirable that the organization should be. A fee of $1 to $5 is now charged to pro- cure & journeyman a situation, and very naturally the one paying $5 has a batter ‘“‘edge” than those who pay less. This would seem to be rank discrimination. The new organization will make a uniform charge of 25 cents for registering an appli- cation for a job, while efficiency and fath- fulness to duty will be the only security needed to hold one in his position. The society will have the additional feature of a sick fund and an emplovment bureau. WHY MWKINLEY? It seems assured that William McKinley will be nominated by the St. Louis conven- tion. Itseemsto be the will of the majority of the people of the United States that he shall lead in the work of building anew where a Democratic administration has laid waste. It is not because Mr. McKin- ley is the one and only great statesman in the Republican party. It is not because he is necessary to the party and country as no other man is. It is not because he Elme explored deeper into the science of | government than any other Republican political economist has. 1t is not because he hus had more experience in conducting | the affairs of the Nation than the Allisons, the Reeds, the Shermans and the Harri- sons have. It is not because he and only he possesses the confidence of the indus- | trial and the agricultural and commercial world. His peers are many in the Repub- lican party. Mr. McKinley is the choice of the people for just one reason. He represents more than any one else now living the policy of protection to American industry. The whole country—political friends and po- litical foes alike—has entire confidence in his integrity, in his strength of character and in s honesty of purpose. These qualities are essential in a candidate for the highest office within the gift of the peovle; but what is true of McKinley in this respect is true of every other one ot the statesmen who have stood well to the front in connection with the St. Louis nomination. Mr. McKinley is the choice of the people because his nomination is as 8 two-edged sword in the vitals of the Democratic party. As chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the lower | house of Congress he bore the banner in the fight which culminated in a great vic- tory for protection to the Nation’s indus- tries and commerce. When the juggling and tinkering with the tariff by the Cleveland administration culminated in the terrible *panic of 1894, and the fallacy of the economic principles of the Wilson-Gorman tariff act were ex- posed, the people made up their minds that they would not only rebuke Cleve- landism, but they would emphasize their disapproval of the repeal of the act of 1890 by demanding its restoration under ihe leadership of the very man who com- piled the figures, formulated the bill and carried it to victory. By common consent the people named the act the *“McKinley service if did the country, and in view of the manifold disasters which its repeal caused to be thrust upon the country, there is a charming fitness of the events which are conspiring to send Mr. McKin- ley to overthrow the monstrosity which superseded the tariff schedule of 1890 and reinstate his own. If the Democracy is not dull to obtuseness it will feel the sting of this rebuke. 1t is to do these things that Mr. McKin- ley is selected tolead the party. By send- ing the author of the tariff act of 2890 to the White House the people emphasize their demand for “McKinley”” vrotection, and also emphasize their condemnation of the party that tore down “McKinleyism’ that the products of the common as well as the expert labor of the other nations might be supreme in our markets. Above all menin the Republican party Major McKinley is the most distasteful to the Democracy. The whole burden, force and energy of the Cleveland administration has been centered against “McKinleyism,” and now that the people propose to send Mr. McKinley to drive out the Democracy and plant *“McKinleyism” in its stead, the humiliation of the Democratic party should be so great that it should make haste to commit hara-kirl. THE “SUNDAY OALL.” One of the most striking features of to- morrow’s issue of THE CALL will be the experience of three San Francisco girls in Paris, their shopping tour of the world- famous Bon Marche, their experiences with the stranger in long coatand large neckwear, who attempts to flirt with the chaperone on the boulevards. There are several fine illustrations with this, sketches from the life made in Paris by the San Francisco girl who signs herself “Van Dyke Brown. Both the pictures and the letter-press are in the height of their respective arts, and aside from this are light and graceful. The San rrancisco summer girl will be handsomely and accurately portrayed both in picture and verse. There is a very humorous but entirely true story of the man who ate 10,950 beefsteaks consecu- tively; a sprightly written account of what is probably the youngest artist in the world, a remarkably precocious infant of Folsom street, who draws excellent pictures on the sidewalks and on the dead walls, though but 4 years of age, and is the wonder of the neighborhood; and there are a host of other very attractive features, nearly all of which are splen- didly illustrated. BLAND'S NEW BOOM. Presidential Candidate Bland’s Missouri managers have decided to organize on the school-district plan in every State, so that when the delegates reach Chicago the whole country will, as with one Voice, cry “Bland.” “How big was Alexander, 3 tbree decades more Working people in the | pa, that people called bim great?” would tariff law,” and in view of the splendid | make a good rallying song for Silver Dick, because the untutored mind would get the idea that he is too big for any walk that did not lead straight to the White House. Mr. Bland is exceedingly anxious to be in- dorsed by all the State conventions that are yet to be held, but who will indorse the conventions? Certainly not the voters of the United States. Their good common- sense teaches them that it is better for the country that the people pass by on the other side of Bland’s ultra free-trade doctrine, No one will dispute theright of Missouri free-trade Bourbons getting together and resolving that Bland is the logical can: date of the Democratic party for Presi- dent, only that the word *““logical” is forced out of its proper place in the construction of a sentence that is intended to convey a Democratic idea. However, Bland is a representative Democrat. He knows so very little about the science of Govern- ment that he is as liable to think that ‘‘economics’” means something to eat as anything else. But how ridiculous it was for Bland and his friends to meetin St. Louis and resolve to boom him when the city was crowded with delegates to the Republican National Convention—dele- gates who will nominate a man for Presi- dent for whose presence in the White House every businessin the land is pray- ing. —_— PARAGRAPHS ABOUT PEOPLE. Lord Balisbury from boyhood has been known in his domestic circle by his second name, Arthur. A grandnephew of Jacquard, the inventor of the loom—and the last of the tamily—has just died at Lyons, where he was & concierge. The widow of Baron Hirsch gave, in honor of his memory, 100,000 francs ($20,000) to AROUND THE CORRIDORS. John Sebastian of Devil’s Lake, North Dakota, who is extensively engaged in wheat-growing in that vicinity and throughout the Red River Valley, is in the City. He says that during the last few months there has been an enor- mous rush of the members of the queer sect known as tne Dunxers to that part of North Dakota. The exodus is mainly from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, though some come from the Southern States. Mr. Se bastiansays thatabout three years ago a committee was sent out from the old Dunker settlements to find lands for young Dunkers. They selected six counties in the Devil’s Lake region, and then word was passed along in the old colonies thata prom- ised land had peen found. That was all the assurance the enthusiastic Dunkers wantea. They never thought of the cold nor of cyclones, for they are fairly well acquainted with them, but considered only the deep black soil of the Dakota prairies. “It is the great desire of the Dunkers to own a big farm,” said Mr. Sebastian, “so when they learned that they could get land for but little more tuan the Government price there wasa hegira to that section. A Dunker doesn’t care for hard work, coarse clothing and plain food. ““He wants a big barn, plenty of fat stock, agreat farmhouse full of childrenand to be comfortable and enjoy the attendance on his religious services. “They are honest, God-tearing people. How- ever, many of their religious ceremonies seem odd to the stranger, especially the washing of feet, which is regularly practiced during the great love feasts or revivals. The bishops and elders go about cleansing the feet of the breth- ren, and the sisters wash one another’s feet. The ceremony is concluded by extending tie right hand of fellowship and by exchanging the kiss of brotherly love. In the church the sexes are separated, and so this does not mean that there is indiscriminate kissing among the men and women. The men are very sedsate. “There is another strange thing about these ceremonies, and that is that after the washing of feet a hearty meal is served in the church, . PERSONAL. J.J.

MAY BE HIGH-NECKED OR LOW TO WEAR WITH GYIMPES, A graceful little gown for girls of one to six vears is shown here. It'hasa short waist of the Gretchen type and may be trimmed with flat bands on the shoulders, or with epaulettes, and may further be variea by being made low in the neck for evening wear or to be worn with guimpes, A dainty evening frock was of white taffetas, with & thin stripe. Narrow, thin ribbon joined by beading trimmed the waist, being e corners to simulate & yoke. The ‘white turned at th sleeves were finished with a ruffle of the silk. The other gown shown was of white lawn, tucked material being used for the bod: ‘waist. It had bands o’ embroidery on the fitted lawn sleeves, collar, and on the shoulders. dress of old-blue challis, with a white figure, had white lace bands on shoulder, on sleeve and collar, A woolen goods of a greenish dress of mixed wtone) had lfl“ bands of green silk, with lawn and then comes the ordinary communion ser- at which bread and wine are served. houses of worship are built with fully equipped kitchens in the basements and sleep- ing accommodations in the attics, so that these love feasts may last for several days and be at- tended by brethren from a distance. “You may do anything you please with these Devil's Lake and Red River Dunkers and they won't go to law. To their mind alawyerisa thing of the Devil’sown invention—a disturber and a stirer up of strife. Any trouble the Dunkers have is always settled by the church dignitaries. ‘A Dunker won’t bear arms, either, or belong to a secretsociety. He is a man of peace, in- dustrious, honest, eschewing gossip and dress- ing in the plainest way. The Dunkers there part their bair in the middle and let their beard grow—it is their religion to do so. The Dunkers wear a slouch hat and the plainest of clothes for the same reason. The garb of the Dunker woman is also plain and severe. There are no milliners among them, for each woman makes her own hat, and as no feathers or other ornamentation is allowed this is a simple mat- ter. The wearing of jewelry is strictly forbid- den. “These Dunkers are very valuable citizens for North Dakota, and they are receiving a hearty welcome there. No country ean heve too much honesty,and these people are honest and straightforward beyond any class of set- tlers we bave ever had. > “There has been a rush of Dunkers to Devil's Lake for three years now, and the rush this year is the biggest we have ever had. Theyare coming in by trainloads, bringing their goods along. Many have arrived in time to putina full crop of the different kinds of grain and other products. “‘Though a queer people trom the standpoint of most persous, they certainly possess great virtues, and this is why they are being warmly welcomed in North Dakota.” THE LAST HORSECAR.
