FOR PRESIDENT— WILLIAM McKIRLEY, of Obfo FOR VIOF-PRESIDENT— GARRET A. HOBART, of New Jersey ELECTION NOVEMBER 3, 1896. —————————————eeeeeen. It will be a hurrab canva: The cry is: Down with Altgeldism and anarchy. Is this Chicago thing & ticket or only a coupon? After the Chicago convention we rest and ‘we smile. It is decidediy an outing season for Democrats. This country is not going to vote for a Nebraska cyclone. The man who means business means to vote for McKinley. One of the things to resolve on to-day is to register to-morrow. We will bave a good rest now until the Pop begin to disturb us. And as for Grover Cleveland he doesn’t | care a fisherman’s remark. To the common-sense of the country the Chicago ticket seems simply absurd. There is just enough known about Bryan and Sewall to know that they won’t do. The trouble with Democracy is that it always scatters too much when it gets to- gether. Nebraska and Maine will accept the Democratic compliment, but they won't return it. We can trust to Tom Reed to take that Maine fellow in band and make him be- have himself. Protection is certainly the issue now, and it means protection not to industry only but to law. Ttis just as well to remember that this country has never elected a stump orator to the Presidency. If the summer gisl wishes to keep in the swim this year she must learn to talk about home industries. ‘he Democratic ratification meeting was too noisy, too much out of doors and too much iike a Chinese funeral. The Supreme Court would have been justified in sending the whole Chicago convention to jail for contempt. Bryan will ran about as well as Fre- mont, provided he i8 enough of a path- finder to find a track to run on. t There is always a good deal of intoxics- tion at a ratification meeting, but the peo- ple will be sober when they vote. The man who said that oratory has lost its influence has goné to the woods to rusticate until after the election. The Populists have certainly enough horse-sense to know better than to hitch their wagon to a donkey with the bots. If any summer resort has that Venezu- elan commission on cold storage, it should be required by law to advertise the same. It is reported in the East that the bloomer bas lost its charm, which means, of course, that the bicycle girl is no longer in it During the campaign you will wish to read the proceedings of all parties impar- tislly reported, and therefore you must read Tue CALL. In the excess of politics the people will be glad when the time comes for Santa Clara County to be sending up reports about the condition of prunes. Mr. Russell, the boy orator of Magsa- chusetts, never expected to be pitted against a Nebraska windmill, and he has the sympathies of the country. They have acclimated to the New Jerse; coast a big beetle that drives away mos- quitoes, and now they find to their horror that he drives the girls away too. If Cleveland would kindly put the weighty feet of his indorsement on the Chicago piatform it would go to pieces and vex the eyes of the people no more. pOlh Akl s 20t s Spain pawned her quicksilver mines to get money to conquer Cuba, and now she stands a good chance to lose both for lack of ability to conquer her own greed. The Platte River is too shallow and too full of sandbars-to be of any use to busi- ness, and the rhetoric of the boy orator who lives near it is of the same nature. In the assurance that all conservative citizens will stand together for business and good government the people can en- joy the antics of the agitators without be- ing afraid of the result. BUSINESS MEN AND PARTY. Less than forty-eight hours ago W. J. Bryan of Nebrasks was nominated for the Presidency by the Democratic party, and already leading business men and news- | papers of the political faith of that party are leaving it in droves, we might say. And why are they | repudiating the platform and candi- | dates of their own party? There must be | something that is exerting a mighty influ- | ence when men who have all their lives been enthusiastic partisans make huie to | renounce party allegiance. There i8 no mystery, however, in their abrupt and | determined renunciation of varty, for the !Chicago convention forced the issue. It | demanded that the business interests of | the country make a radical departure from true and tried commercial usages and adopt business methods that are known to be wrong in principle, and which would be hurtful in practice. The conven- tiondrove the business interests to choose between sound business ethics and the va- garies of experimentalists, and they were prompt to choose. But this country-wide withdrawal of Democrats from their party has been fore- shadowed -in Tre Caru's interviews with many of the leading business men of Cal- ifornia during the last fortnight. Without asinele exception these interviews have shown that the industries and the com- merce of the country would consider a declaration of policy for the conduct of the Government such as was finally adopted by the Chicago convention a threat acainst the well-being of trade, iraffic and manufacture, and that it would be the duty of every one interested in widening and deepening the foundation of the Nation’s material growth to set the seal of condemnation upon any such de- parture from sound business principles. Business enterprises are not asking how 1t happened that the Chicago convention adopted a platform that is hostile to them, nor do they ask why the purpose of the convention was to further emphasize its war upon the strongbold of the farmer, | the mechanic, the merchant and the | manufacturer. It is enough for them to know that there isdanger ahead and that the wise course for them to pursue is to array themselves on the side of those who are fighting against the proposed ruinous innovations. The machinery of the Demo- cratic party has been captured by foes to | its time-honored principles, dnd turned to destroy the commerocial agencies which have made the wealth of the Nation ex- ceed that of every other country. Is it strange, therefore, that the solid business element of the Dewmocratic party should be | pronounced in their condemnation of this unblushing betrayal of their party? Is it strange that they are hastening to the sige of McKinley to help the Republican | party save the commerce, the agriculture | and the industries of the country from the iron hand of these revolutionists? ‘With business men it is not now a ques- tion of party' politics, but a question of preventing a commercial and inaustrial | chaos, and the belief that it is the duty of business men of all parties to come to the rescue is becoming widespread. Mr. Bryan is the representative' of the com- mercial experimentalists of the country, and he is under willing promise to over- throw and overturn all existing business agencies and appliances and intyoduce in their stead principles of commercial inter- | course between ourselves and between us and other peoples that are based upon dangerous experiment. There is not a line of business ia all this broad land that would not be crippled by the application of the theories of the Chicago platform in the conduct of the affairs of the Nation, and as this is known to be true by those of | all parties who are in active business life | the widespread desertion of the party | which Altgeld now rules does not come as a surprise. Business sense is quick to de- tect a threatening political policy. CONCERNING MARRIAGE. The question *‘Is marriage a failure?”’ having returned from going to and froin the land and from walking up and down it without -finding a satisfactory answer, another and rather more of a *pigs in clover” question has been started on the rounds. Itis, “How to marry rationally and low not to tire of each other when married.” A spinster by the name of Laura Cameron tells the Westminster Re- view that marriage will turn' out all right if the contracting parties have their love “begin at the head and end at the heart,” but as she does not designate the route it should travel from head to heart, whether via the spinal column, down through the bronchial tubes or via the more circuitons route of the solar plexus, she. deepens rather than cleard the mystery. Butbeing a spinster Miss Cameron’s conclusions would necessarily be theoretical and spec- ulative and therefore she cannot be con- sidered an sauthority, although her basic principle, that 1s, *‘from the head to the heart,” is imbedded in a great conjugal truth, only that she does not put it exactly right. It one lays aside the legal and com- mercial aspects of marriage and tackles the problem as a branch of the philosophy of life he will discover that the first error, and which leads to all other errors, lies in the silly, arbitrary and contradictory com- mand that each must take the other for better or for worse. In fact, no man can take a woman for better or for worse, nor can a worman take a man for better or for worse. Religion of some sort, sincerity and intimacy are the first essentials, but in all things the man mu-t take himself for better or worse, as must the woman herself for better or worse; and, it may be added, each will grow better or grow worse bis or her thoughts, irations and conduct of life are good or evil. Yet each one is 1n a very great degree responsible for the ethical evolution as well as the in- volution of the other. In a measure each one is the custodian of the other one's in- clination ana opportunity to strive for higher standards of existence. The ideal of each shounld be complete oneness, which is co-operation and sympathetic help in ail the ways of individual and mutnal ad- vancement. Married life is a bridge, so to speak, which spans the river of oné's natural life; but however imposing the structure may be or however ornamental in archi- tectural design its greatest strength is at its weakest point, the weakest point also Tepresents the degree of oneness that has been secured, and which is not secared in its fullness except when the law of natural selection is understood and obeyed. When failure in the avenues of commerce casts a shadow over the bridge, or when sucoess blossors into forgetfulness of the ties which bind humanity into one family, domestio events will sooner or later strip the bridge of its ornamentation and im- posing stateliness and show that 1t never ‘Was more than false work. John Ruskin once said that “every noble life leaves the fiver of it inter- woven forever in the work of the world.” It is largely true, no doubt, that the noblest lives are found where oneness in wedlock is the most com- plete, and to the careful student of the ‘book of nature and the book of life—he | whoreads them meditatively and thought- fally—is revealed the whole philosophy of true married life, which is that it ‘s a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue and in all perfection. It isa partnership not only between those who are living but between those who are dead, and’ those who are to be born.” The Jove that understands these things and s guided by its own knowledge does not “begin in the head and end ‘in the heart.” It is without beginning, nor does it know of an ending. HIS NAME IS SEWALL. Arthur Sewall, the gentleman from that Republican Gibraltar, the State of Maine, was put at the tail of the Bryan ticket yes- terday, for what purpose no man eould tell. Mr Sewall is a gentleman of the highest respectability and the owner of sailing vessels which plow many waters ,in search of gold for their owner. It is. not supposed, however, that he will weaken Bryal chances. When the peopleé get through with the Nebraska orator he probably will be sur- prised to see that he never had even so much as the shadow of 8 chanee of elec- tion. If what they say about Mr. Sewall is true it is cruel to take such advantage of his party loyaity. He should have been lett in ‘the consolation of the thought that he was unknown, and, therefore, not known to be 4 Democrat. He is said to be very rich, but if he is Bryan will not want him for a running mate, for a fich‘man on the ticket might spoil Bryan's little scheme. His purpose is to pose asa poor man and ap- peal to the poor to rally to him in the *‘great battle of the poor against the rich.” Bryan isa born political agitator and revo- lutionist, and demagogy is his meat and drink. If he cannot fire the middle class with hatred for capital employed in the great industries of the country his efforts to gain the Presidency will be futile, and as he will fail, and Snil ntterly, why Sewall? LAW OR ANARCHY. The proceedings of the Chicago conven- tion in a most unmistakable manner reveal the spirit which animated it. In the proceedings there were no traces of discipline, of a well-ordered will or of a settled purpose growing out of a clear conviction of what it were best to do. Hill and Whitney may have had a plan and Altgeld and the Senatorial clique may have formulated some rule of conduct for their action, but neither the New York leaders, the Chicago bosses nor the South- ern chiefs could infuse sagacity into the foolish mob, direct its action to any defi- uité end, or bring order out of its wild confusion. The ticket that resulted from such an aimless, undirected, inconsiderate gather- ing is just what mighit have been expected. A young stump speaker without a record in public service, without experience in any administrative office, without any show of statesmanship, was nominated for the Presidency in a whirl of folly resulting from the ‘‘whoop-up’’ of an impassioned | speech. After this evidence of lunacy the convention adjourned for a night with the avowed purpose of giving itself time to act wisely in the selection of a candi- date fot the Vice-Presidency. terday without having the slightest idea of whom it would nominate or why it would nominate him, and after several meffectual ballots went off its feet and gave the nomination to an unknown man from Maine, 4 Both candidates are from Republican States. 1i Bryan can get Populist support he may possibly carry Nebraska, but Sewall can give his party not the slightest hope of carrying Maine. He has no reputation to strengthen bis party in other States and in his own be will not carry his home county. Never inour history was a ticket nominated with less common-sense than this, The convention simply went it blind. It acted like an unorganized mob animatea by no other idea than that of refusing to follow any one who had areputation asa leader. This lawlessness of action was the result of a lawlessness of spirit. From Aligeld, who is half an anarchist, to Tillman, who is half a secessionist, there was in the con- vention every kind of a mischief-maker known to the North, the South, the East or the West. These men cared nothing for the business interests of the couatry, noth- ing for those great industries by which the people live, nothing for the,weliare of workingmen or the industrious of any class, They were there to give utterance only to their own discontent and their de- sire for agitation and disturbance. They allowed full license to their passionsin speech and action, and after harangues of the lowest order of oratory from Altgeld and Tillman wound upby nominating this ticket of Bryan and Sewall. Before the Chicago convention met it seemed the issue of the campaign would be the choice between protection or free trade, industry or idleness. To-day every one realizes the dominant issue is between law or disorder, government or anarchy. 1f we are to have a government at all after this election it must be a government by the Republican party. Thereis no other choice. It is either McKinley and prosper- ity or Bryan and confusion. OUR CHICAGO SERVIOE. Tae CaLw this morning ecan review with more than ordinary satisfaction the work it has done during the past week in re- porting the Chicago convention and the great festival at Monterey. The conven- tion of course was the most exciting fea- ture of the week, snd with all fairness to our contemporaries we can justly claim to have reported its proceedings more com- prehensively in matter, more concisely in manner and more accurately than any other journal on the Pacific Coast. A particularly valuable portion of our Chicago reports were the daily letters from the Hon. James G. Maguire and the Hon. John P, Irish. These gified men, who are the leaders of the silver and of the goid wing of the Democratic party in this City, are both of them vigorous writers as well 8s keen observers. Their letters, contributed to Tue CaLn exclus- ively, revealed clearly the intense feeling of the rival factions. The letters of Ma- guire rang with the jubilant tone of as- sured victory, while those off Irish gave forth in every sentence a clang and a clash like the .sound of a sword which some fierce hand. is rattling 1n the scab- bard, impatient to draw it forth. While these letters revealed the inner feelings of the combatants our other special correspondents, Cosgrave, Carleton, Coe and McGuire, reported all the scenery of thedrama, the appearance of the lead- ers, the words of peakers, the enthu- siasm of the crowds ana ail the thousand incidents that made the proceedings by day and night. In all this there was no padding, no fakes, no stuff sent simply to fili space. Each correspondent had some new aspect of the subject to describe. There was no repetition and nothing was omitted. The work of the week we submit as an- other evidence that our energies in the di- rection of legitimate journalism will be found always equai to the importance of the news and the interest of the public. It .met yes- | I Now that the campaign is at hand intelli- gent men and women will desire an im- partiai and accurate report of the proceed- ings of all parties, and the best way to ob« tain llhnt is to read Tue CaLr. It speaks for all. THE OHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR. In deciding to bo!d their convention of | B. C 1897 in Ban Francisco the Iuternational Christian Endeavor did a wise thing, as they will be more than wiiling to admit. The low rate which the railways will anate for passage tickets, and the opportunity which such a journey would “give * the people east of the mountains to see the bestand the most glorious part of America, will, no doubt, be taken advantage of by thousands.. It is safe fo say that 50,000 strangers will be here during the sitting of the convention, with ohe-fourth of the number coming from beyond ‘the State line of California, Naturally those coming from otber Srates will want to make trips to the various lo- calities of interest and see all there is 10 beseen,which would make theit sojourn on the goast extend into weeks. good will come of holding the convention here which should not be lost sight of. Every one of the thousands who come from abroad is sure to return an advertising agent for California, and out of it all there should be a tide of immigration turned toward the Golden Gate country, for surely they all’ would sound the 'praise of this most delightful land. Nothing should be left undone to not only swell the numbers coming to the highest point, but while they are here they should he made to feel how true and sincere California hospitality is. Such a class of peoplé as compose the Endeavor - wotild grace and honor any commuuity, and when they had gone away the recollec- tion of them would be a pleasant reminder of the fact that tens of thousands of America’s young people are earnestly working all the time for the elevation of humauity. Now that the excitement of the Demo- cratic convention has somewhat abated time may be taken to revert to the {fig rowing match on the river Thames in which Yale's crew took part. Itisa mat- ter for regret that the American boys did not defeat the Leander crew, but there is some eomfort in the reflection that the Leanders were victorious over all the other contestants in the regatia and won the championship cup.’ At any frate our ‘Yankee representatives were not walloped by any second-rate oarsmen. e The Christian Endeavorers will find a true California welcome when they arrive bere, and every citizen in nroportion to his means should assist in making the re- ception a notable one in every respect. et P e ik M “THE CALL” GETS THE PRIZE. From Last Night's Dally Report. Yesterday morning TEs CALL published 23 columns about the cnvention, the Chronicle 20 and Examiner 3G}¢. The publichave there- | fore unanimously voted the prize for the best convention report to THE CALL. GROWTH OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE { SENTIMENT. Those who are not in a position 10 see the newspaper exchanges of the State from day to day can hardly realize the rapid advance of the sentiment in favor of woman suffrage. The women themselves have made a splendid canvass of the State, and in all the counties where their conventions been held the result is seen in an increase and strengthening of opinion favorable to the enfranchisement of women and & modification of the feeling in op- position. The first great turn in the tidein this direction, howaser, dates from the action of the Republican conventiow; May 6, in the incorporation of 4 woman-suffrage plank in its platform. This invesied the question atonce with the dignity of a political issue and en- | abled the newspapers of the State to indorse it with the party sanction. This has been done with remarkable unanimity, over 100 of them baving declared editorially in favor of the pending amendment. To THE CALL of May 3 rightfully belongs the credit of inspiring that action on the pert of the convention. There is no longer any denial of the justice and equity of the woman’s ciaim to the ballot. There is practically no doubt but that the best interests of the State and municipality would be advanced through the influence of woman in government. The opposition has resolved itself substantially into two_classes—the con- servative, non-progressive element, who still have lingering doubts as to its effect upon domestic life and upon the women themselves, and the other element who from the very character of their daily lives regard as a menace the granting of any further power to women. But notwithstanding the opposition of thése two extremes of soclety the amendment will be carried by the great middle classes, who are the backbone of every progrossive moyement. { They heve stood solidly behind the anti- slavery cause, the temperance reform, the struggle of Tabor, and now will sustain_and earry forward to victory the demand of the women for that citizen’s right to vote which is uaranteed by ihe constitution of the United tates.

Andrew Lang’s forthcoming book, ‘“Pickle the 8py,” is not fiction, but romantic fact de- rived from various state papers, royal archives and political correspondence. The subject of the book is the mysterious disappearance of Prince Charles Stuart from 1749 to 1766, During some private theatricals at the Saxon court recently the Crown Princess took the part of a maid servant. The extremely realistic way in which she portrayed a vulgar young woman . moistening and . polishing & shoe brought her a reproof from the King himself. Jules Simon left no will, but a short time be- fore his death gave to his friend, M.

When Durrant found guilty of murder took an appeal, it ap- pearing on the face of the papers that there was probable cause for granting a new trial, he was not removed from the County Jail, and he is still in the institution on Broadway. AROUND THE BAY—C. L. B,, City. A cyclist can go from San Francisco to Oakland or Ala- meds, and from there ride on his wheel through Alameda, Santa Clara, San Mateo and San Francisco counties on & tour partly around the bay. On that trip he would pass through 8an Jose and Santa C LEGAL ADVERTISING—W., Santa Cruz. In or- der to come within the law, if a legal adveér- tisement 18 to run three successive weeks in a ublished every day in the year, it must ublished consecutively for twenty-one days; if 1t is to be published once a week for three successive weeks it must appear four times. IRELAND'S POPULATION—Subscriber. There are no official figures showing the population in Ireland in the year 1846. The census of 1841 shows 8,196,597, and that of 1851 shows 6,574,278. During the year 1846 and in 1847 there were a great many deaths on account of the famine, consequently a great reduction in population. Lost PaPERs—J. R. City.

SAN PABLO BAY—The body of water that con nects Suisun and San Pablo bays is the Strait of Carquinez. What is known as San Pablo Bay is part of San Francisco Bay. There is no name on the charts for that portion that nar- Tows between the Marin and Contra Costa shores, and which in_your communication is described as ‘‘the strait that connects San Francisco and San lo 8" ADDRESSING A LETTER—M. 8. City. When a stranger receives & letter of inquiry fror a lady who does not declare whether she is a Miss or a Mrs. the party written to, in reply, is not required to use the usual formal sentence, “Dear Miss” or “‘Dear Madame,” or even aiss or Madame, for the reason that a letter sizned with only the given and family name without prefix, as, for instance, “‘Jennie Jones,” leaves the recipient of the letter in doubt. Insucha case 1t is proper to place in the left hand lower corner ““To Jennie Jones.” BHAKESPEARE—P. N. G., City. The first folio edition of Shakespeare’s works published in 1623 shows that the spelling of the Bard of Avon was not the same as it is in the modern editions of his works. A quotation from “All's Well That Ends Well” wili show the difference. In the first folio edition, which was published with the assurance that it was a literatim transcript, there i “‘Faire maide send forth thine eye, this youthfull parcell of noble bachellors;” and "this is rendered in the modern text as ‘“Fair maid send forth thine eye, this youthful parcel of noble bachelors.” A GUARDIAN—W. M., Manchester, Cal. If a mother is the guardian of her children and of their property and should en- ter into an agreement to sell their property, she having obtained the right to. do so, and subsequently -have another party appointed as guardian of her children and the new guardian should obtain an or- der from eourt to sell their property to the highest bidder, it would require a judicial de- termination for the purposé of ascértaining if the agreement of the mother to sell would hold. This department is willing o state what the law. is, but it cannot apply the law to the facts and give judicial opinions. BICYCLE TiME—S. H., City. The fastest time ever made by & horse was that made by Sal- vator, running 1in a race against time at Man- mouth, August 28, 1890, in 1:85!,. This time was beaten by W. J. Edwards in this State, who made & mile on a bicycle on a straight. away track at Livermore, Alameda Coun- ty, in 1:3525. Even that record has been beaten within two months. M. O. Den- nis riding a bicyele (unpaced), on & straight- away track, slightly down e, and with the wind at the rate of sixty miles an hour blow- ing against his back, made a mile in 1:11 8-5, the fastest time ever made. Salvator's 1:3514 a8 been beaten several times, ADDRESSING A LapY—V. L., Honolulu, H. I. A lady dever suggests her husbsnd’s occupa- tion, rank or military position by her visiting card, and for the same reason it is improper and a breach of etiquette to address a commu- nication to & lady snd designate her by the position her husband occupies. If the tady is the wife of John H. Jones, Governor of Arizona, the J"’P” way to address a letter to her is rs. John H. Jones, not Mrs. Governor John H. Jomes, for she is not the Governorand the title belongs alone to her husband. If the names of husband and wife are engraved on the visiting eard, it is roper that it should read. supposing tht the adv s the wife of a tain in the army, “Captain and Mrs. Robipson.”” Mrs. Capiain Robinson would be in decidedly bad taste. THE RIGHT T0 VOTE—J, R. L., City. There is no law that says that alien minors coming to the United States shall have the right to vote on attaining majority. The children of per- sons who have been duly naturalized, being under the age of 21 years at the time of the naturalization of their parents; shall, if dwelling in the United States, be considered as citizens thereof.

To REMOVE THE MARKS—W. E. B,, Oakland, Cal. A person who is troubled with tattoo marks on the flesh should consult & dermatol- ogist 80 that he may determine what method is the best to remove them. The following ere some of the methods employed to remove the @isfiguring marks: The operation is performed by applying nitric acid with the stopper of the bottle (a better instrument would be & glass rod, pointed to carry the acid), just sufficient to cover the stain, 5o &s to avoid makinga larger scar than needed, theé acid to remain about & minute and a half until the cutis vera is penetrated aud a crusted appearance is shown, then washed off with clean, cold water. In o few d:{.- after thistreatment & scab forms, which contains the tattoo mark or stain; re. and should inflammation supervene d bathe with warm water. In this way the skin with the stain is mot only re. moved almost painlessly, but the nitme acid at the same time to & certain extent seems to aiscolor the stain. Of course, large tattoo marks exfending over the surface must ne. cessitate the operation being perior. - ently, Dr. Variot of the French Biological Society advises the followingmethod: Tatioo the skin T3 the usual way with a concentrated solution on o t P Tattoed with the tannin blackens.
