FOL THE CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL. PATRIOTiSM, PROTECTION and PROSPERITY. FOR PRESIDENT— WILLIAM MeKINLEY, of Ohio | FOR VIOF-PRESIDENT— GARRET A. HOBART, of New Jersey TION NOVEMBER 3, 1896. FL Another bond issue is threatened. Grover is still in office. ‘We hear much of Bryan’s tongue but very little of his brains. Bryan may capture the Populist horse at St. Louis, but can he ride him? Bryan talks througha hat of very soft felt without any particular shape. Ask your, Republican friends if they have registered, and keep at them until they do. —_— McKinley is the man for the masses, for he stands for their welfare and champions their wages. Cleveland has the satisfaction of know- ing that no one objects to his fishing trips this summer. Every business man should register, for the votes of all will be needed to defeat the agitators. A vote for woman suffrage would bea vote to strengthen the cause of protection to home industr; It is worth while remembering that the Democrats nominated Cleveland on a bi- metallic platform. Bryan has aiways been & promising young man, but we have never heard of his fulfilling a promise. Democracy in the East will have to rely on chin music this year. All the big or- gans have quit grinding. Only a little while ago the free-traders | declared that protection is dead and now they are trying to dodge it. Don't be surprised to see many Southern States vote for McKinley. Business sense in that section is growing fast. Unless you support the business inter- ests of the country there will never be business enough to support you. Campaign songs may touch on many themes, but the popnlar chorus will be always McKinley and protection. The first thought of many silver men may be for Bryan, but the sober second thought will turn them to McKinley. ‘While Democrats talk Republicans are organizing. The one cares only for oratory while the other is working for business. Free-traders are showing thinly in the face of Bill McKinley, They have all taken o lyin’ and are trying to dodge with Bryan. 1f Hoke Smith and Sterling Morton de- cide to bolt, let us hope they will bead for Europe and not mix things up in this country. 1t is about time for the Democrats to explain why the great Silver Champion Biand was turned down for a blatherskite boy orator. It will be a campaign of education for Bryan as well as for the people, but the voung man will not get his biggest lesson until election The Republican money plank is broad enough for all bimetallists, but the Demo- cratic plank is too narrow for any buta silver monometallist. Cleveland had better spend the summer hunting for a good deep hole into which he can retire after next March and escape the derision of the country. There will be no more trouble with the gold reserve when we have a Republican tariff to yield revenues and Republican statesmen to manage them. In seeking to elect Bryan by arraying one class against another, the Democrats overlook the fact that' there are no such things as classes m A merica. Bimetallism in the hands of statesmen would be a benefit to the country, but in the hands of reckless orignorant men it would lead to disaster and prove a curse to all. Thoe cause of woman suffrage must not bé overlooked during the eampaign. Let it be remembered on every stump during the canvass and by ail the people on elec- tion day. This is a contest between the business interests of the country and the agitators i who seek to disturb business, and every man who seeks prosperity must vote the Republican ticket. Tne Republican party is pledged to pro- mote international bimetallism, and in that pledge the people have confidence, for they know the Republican party has neyer broken its pledges. .. . Bty . 150 | JULY 186, 1896 | THE SOBER SECOND THOUGHT. | It is the sober second thoughtof the | American people that gives liberty, justice and right their sure foundation. It is the sober second thought of the people that separates partisan politics from patriot- ism and holds the Nation aloof from the influence of passing waves of fanaticism, | and it is the sober second thought of the people that weighs and measures propo- sitions for departure from principles ;of government wtich have raised a few | sparsely settled colonies into a mighty | nation. It is the sober second thought of | the people that will beat back and destroy | the hosts of Altgeldism that are now pre- | paring to make onslanght upon the fruits | of the victories of the war of revolution and the war of 1812 and the war with Mexico and the war of the rebellion, in which the blood of patriots was poured out that the | glory and stability of our system of gov- ernment might not fail of purpose, It is plain to be seen that there is a wave of thoughtless enthusiasm for a wild and reckless cause rushing over the country, but it will subside when the pecple begin to consider it with their sober second thought. When the sober second thought of the people takes up for analysisthe aims and purpose of Alteeldism they will see as does a high Government official that “no political 1ssue is involved in the com- ing election. ; The question to be decided is far deeper and more vital. | The perpe- | tuity of republican institutions has been | threatened. Every loyal citizen should | ally himself against the forces which con- | trolled the Chicago convention, the forces of lawlessness, which are inconsistent with | the maintenance of the Republic. Hences | forth there should be no Republican, no }Democral.. but a union of loyal citizens | against the combined jorces of repudia- | tion and disorder. When once this dan- gerous element has been stamped out at the polls by sn indignant people we can again divide and discuss those political | questions which for generations have kept alive the two great political parties.” The leaders of the several revolutionary factions admit that plans are now being discussed for throwing the Bryan follow- ing to the Populists in Congressional dis- tricts where the latter outnumber the former, and reverse this order where the | Bryanites show the greater numerical | strength. Theidea i3, of course, to have | | the majority of Congress composed of an | element that would be in accord in setting aside all the established principles of the | Government and substituting for them the communistic theories of Altgeld and the sectionalism of Tillman. Any| kind of a trade will be made that promises | additional strength to the revolutionists. | Mr. Bryan has set out to appeal to the ! ‘‘common people’ for support. It is evi- dent that he means to inaugurate a war of { classes and set brother against brother and community against community, which weuld be far worse in consequences than any race war that history gives ac- count of. Less than a week ago Mr. Bryan was nominated by the Altgeld-Tiil- man convention, but he has airexdy eliminated the economic issues which di- | vided the two great partiesand planted his foot square and fair upon the doctrine of sectionalism, and from that platform | he appeals to the ‘“‘common people” to | elect him President, that he may revamp tbe true and tried principles of govern- ment and make them conform to what will amount to liberty without law and ruinous contention in the people’s com- | mercial and social life. The sober second | thought of the people is relied upon to prevent this great wrong. WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE. In a recent letter to THE CaLL Susan B. Anthony directed public attention to the | rapid advance of sentiment in this State jin fayor of woman suffrage. To use her ! words, the action of the Republican con- | | vention ‘“invested the question at once| with the dignity of a political issue : | enabled the newspapers of the State to in- | dorse it with the party sanction. This has been done with remarkable unanimity, | over100of them having declared editorially | in favor of the pending amendment. To TrE Cavryn of May 3 rightfully belongs the | credit of inspiring that action on the part of the convention." That which Miss Anthony calls a growth of sentiment would be more aptly termed a growing courage in the avowal of senti- ment. The opinion of the intelligent peo- ple of California has long been favorable to the extension of suffrage to women, It has not avowed itself very strongly in the past, because it has lacked political leader- ship. That need has now been furnished. Some of the ablest women of America are here actively engaged in urging on the canvass. The Republican party, flushed with assurances of victory, has blazoned the cause upon its banners and fights for woman’s suffrage as well as for protection. The earnest and progressive newspapers of the interior range themseives with Tux Cavw in the contest. When the canvas be- gins there will be orators to speak for jus- tice to women from every platform in the State. All, therefore, goes well, and the prospects of success brighten on every side, Republicans should take a special pride and interest in this issue of the campaign. It is one that appeals to liberal and pro- gressive men, and there will be fidelity to Republican traditions in supporting and advancing it. Let it be kept to the front from this time on. Let no voter overlook it. When we vote for protection to the American home, let us also vote for jus- tice to those who make the home worth having. FRANCE EXOITED. The alleged attempt of a man by the iname of Francois to kill President Faure on the Longchamps parade-ground serves the good purpose of further cementins the opposition to the restoration to the head of the Governmentof any of the *by the grace of God” dynasties, but beyond that the event is of no very great inter- national consequence. The man Francois is crazy, no doubt, and had no intention of harming the President. It appears that his pistol was loaded with blank cartridges, and perhaps it is true, as he ¥s, that he merely wanted to get the President’s attention when he fired at him. Anyway, the fellow is known to the police as a lunatic who has recently been engaged in firing petitions and the like at the Chamber of Deputies. H The political effect of such performances is decidedly good for France in that the spontaneous resentment by the people of an attack upon the highest officiai of the country goes to show how wedded the French people are to their republic. Faure himself is far from being & popu- lar man. He has been hissed more than once by the crowds as he passea along, but on such occasions be was not so par- ticularly represeniing the nation when | reviewing the army, when Francois fired at him. This is not the first time the French people have had an oprortunity to express their loyalty to the republic since | the fall of the last empire, and it may be said of them that, if surface indications go for anything, the principles of republican- ism are quite as deeply rooted in the ‘| hearts of the Frenchmen as in the citizens THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1596. of any other republic. To be sure, the French republic is a good deal of a monarchy in many respects, but French thinkers know very well that the people are as free to-day as they are capable of being, and that more personal liberty than they can comiortably digest would quick- ly result in communism practically ap- plied. ; TWO IMPORTANT QUESTIONS There are two economic theories which the people mean to have put into prac- tical operation upon a basis that shall be permanent. One is a schedule of import duties that shall secure ample protection to our industries against burtful foreign in- vasion; the otheris a bimetallic currency upon a basis that shall make coins inter- changeable because one is as good as the other for redemption money purposes. Mr. Bryan assumes himself to be the champion of bimetallism, but neither him- self nor a single one of his admirers is equal to the solution of such a problem; | besides, he is opposed to protection, and protection and bimetallism necessarily go together, There will be protection and there will be a bimetallic currency, but neither can be established except by men who are statesmen in the broadest and fullest meaning of the term. The Democratic party has driven all of its great political economists away from it by its Chicago declaration of principles, which mistakes silver monometallism for bimetallism. And since these statesmen, who have been expelled by their own party, are afiiliating with the Republican party in so far as the money question is concerned, it would seem that all true bimetallists would not think of Jocking elsewhere for ability and experience to formulate a plan to secure the desired result, Moreover, the Repub- lican party is pledged to bimetallism, as are the expelled statesmen from the Dem- ocratic party, and it is also true that statesmanship of the highest order will be | required to place the Nation’s financial system upon a bimetallic foundstion. It is not a matter of mere child’s play to do it right, and if not done right it were bete ter that it not be done at all. Nothing could be more harmtul to the material affairs of the people than tinker- ing with the industrial and money ques- tion by incompetent men. The people cannot afford to trust the solution of such problems to men who preach the wildest political vagaries. The importance of having these two great questions settled right shouid be clear to every thinking man. That they must be settled there is ne doubt whatever if the fundamental principles of the Government are to be maintained. Nor shounld they be settled to-day to be overhauled to-morrow, but when they are settled it should be upon a lasting basis. It is, or should be, clear to every one who is not blinded by partisan- ship that as the several parties now stand in relation to the spirit of the purpose of the nation, the duty of accomplishing proper tariff legisiation, and a bimetallic currency devolves upon the Republican party. It has the experience, the wisdom and the desire to so adjust these two great questions that the greatest possible good may accrue to all the people, while, on the other hand, the Bryan party lacks ex- perience and wisdom ; besides it is com- mitted to settle all public questions upon sectional lines. Asa matter of business, therefore, the people should lose sight of politics and commit the work of putting the country upon a sure commercial and financial foundation to such true and tried hands as Mr. McKinley and his coworkers for the good of Americ COWSERVATIVE BIMETALLISTS. The statements made by Francis A. Walker before the Bimetatlic League in London and by Jay Cooke, the noted Philadelpbia financier, in an interview published 1n TEE CALL yesterday, show the judgment of earnest and conservative bimetallists on the present situation of | the cause in America. Both declare in favor of McKinley and express their oppo- sition to the Chicago platform and ticket. They agree that the election of Bryan, so far from advancing the cause of bimetal- lism, would retard it by putting this coun- try upon the basis of silver monometal- lism and permanently establishing the gold system in Europe. ‘The view of these distinguished men is exactly that which has been taken by Tue Cavry, and, mn fact, by conservative silver men generally. Nothing can be gained for any cause by intrusting it to the hands of reckless and ignorant men. No farmer would leave the plowing of his fields to a man who did not know how to hold a plow and was, moreover, fonder of talking than of working. Why then, should he intrust important measures ot statecraft to incompetent hands? Left to the man- agement of Bryan, a changein our financial system would result in disasters that would discredit bimetallism for years. ‘We have seen what resulted from intrust- ing tariff reform to that brilliant orator, William Wilson of Virginia, and no sane man will willingly repeat the experiment by intrusting financial reform to the boy orator of the Platte. THE IRISH LAND BILL. The collapse of the Irish land bill in Parliament is likely to oblige a complete reorganization of the Ministry, although.| the whoie business looks like a premedi- tated thing, The bill was never satisfac- tory to the Irish members because it was not only considered unfair, but was in- tended to be final. Rather than beshut out from further efforts in behalf of Irish land renters, Dillon and his colleagues forced the withdrawal of the measure. It 1s hinted that Chamberlain, who is the brains of the Ministry, is scheming to be Premier and that the failure of the bill is not at all distasteful to him. But, how- ever that may be, the Irish landlords have certainly won a temporary victory at least, and unless the administration appeals to the people for indorsementand is defeated the fruits of the victory are likely to be long drawn out, The fact of the matter is that since the death of Parnell the Irish members cannot agree among themselves upon any meas- ure 1n which Ireland has direct interest. Some of them always find an objection which, for the most part, looks like a play for the favor ‘of the voters in their districts. Had the Irish con- tingent as a whole cultivated more good feeling for Ireland and paid less attention to personal political preferment no doubt home rule would have prevailed in Ire- land long ago. The remonetization of silver cannot be entrusted to the management of men like Bryan, Altgeld and Tillman. Only by the administration of conservative states- men can that great result be accomplished with safety to business interests. The Democratic attack on the Supreme Court strikes at one of the great bulwarks of the Government, and proves that party to be as hostile to the constitution as it is to industry. Jay Cooke is one of the sturdy bimetai- lists who will vote for McKinley and other silver men of good sense will do likewise, M A new star has arisen in the primadonna firmament in Milan. Marad’Asty, & young, bright-eyed Roumanian of bewitching beauty, has created an impression among the impres- sari. The musical sages of Milan declare that sheisa natural phenomenon in coloratura singing and is destined to be the successor of Adelina Patti. This lady will meke her Paris debut at the beginning of the winter season and will then undertake a long concert and opera tour in Germany and Russia. At Wechmar, near Gotba, the municipal council has had an inscription placed upon the house where, in 1600, lived Veit Bach, the ancestor of the family of the great cantor of Leirsig. Veit Bach, of whom J. S. Bach often spoke, was & baker, and he and his son Hans exercised their calling in the old family house at Wechmar which is still standing. The son, Hans Bach, had learned music at Gotha and played with a certaln artistic reputation. USIC & -+ MUSICIAN “Tha Nibelungen,” and conceded to the Royal Opera-house of Mumch the author’s rights in all his works. Since 1882 until now the repre- sentations at Bayreuth of “Parsifal,” *“Tris- tan” “Meistersingers,” “Tannhauser” and “Lohengrin” have regularly brought in on an average 50,000 marks a year, but this sum has always been put in the reserve fund and has now reached 300,000 marks, but there will not be much of it left this year, as it is found necessary to renew completely the decorations and costumes for “The Triology,” and the re- turns from the representations are only ex- pected to cover the current expenses. Mme. Cosima Wagner, it is said, always considers Bayreuth as a purely disinterested and artis- tic enterprise, solely destined to glorify tne work of the master, Willlam Steinway, who, as a £50,000 cred- itor of the Abbey & Grau firm, and in conse- quence a 40 per cent shareholder in the new ‘g William Steinway, the Principal Creditor of Abbey & Grau. | One counts, in seven generations, more than & hundred descendants of Veit Bach, of whom the greater part are known in the history of German music. | poser, Carlos Gomes, published in the Bahis and Pernambuco papers of May 21, was prema- ture. Unfortunately it was only premature, for this excellent artist has developed an in- curable complaint, cancer of the tongue, for which it is impossible to operate. Carlos Go- | mes is at this moment at Pars, & prey to the most terrible sufferings, and the doetors in at- tendance, of whom it is said there are at least twenty-one, affirm that it 1s impossible to save him, and give him st most three or four mounths of existence. In France, it seems, there is a strong super- stition that the operas of Ambroise Thomas bring some sort of ill-luck. The Paris Opera Comique, and the Tneatre des Arts, at Rouen, were burned on the nightof the performance of “Mignon,” in which, it may be recollected, a fire scene actually occurs. The Grand Overa, Paris, was burned on the night of & perform- ance of ‘‘Hamlet,” while the recent accident i to a chandelier which nearly set the new thea- sal of “Hamlet.” Then M. Lassalle, before the revival, two or three years ago, of the same opers, in London, fell from a gig, and the num- ber of coids caught by prime donne before playing Opbelia sre beyond count. Thomas himselt was well aware of the superstition and used laughingly to declare that he was lucky in other ways, The Menestrel says that the rehearsals for the Triology have commenced at Bayreuth. No artist of 1876 will takea part except M. Vog!, the celebrated tenor of the Municn opers, who will sing in “L'Or du Rhin" the role of Loge, which he created in so remark- able a manner twenty years ago. Mme. Materna still lives—she is even giving coneerts in some part of Western America—but she will no more lead Grane, the biack horse of the Valkyrie, over the planks of Bayreuth. Oneoi the sisters Lehmann is still singing, but she will sing no more at Bayreuth. Thes other sister has retired. Many of the artists have quitted this world, among others the cele- brated basso, Scaria, who crested the role of Wotan. But above all that will be missing this year will be the geniusof the master who in 1876 gave spirit to the whole performance. The tradition sull survives, but it is very doubtful whether that will suffice. The con- ductors will be Hans Richter, Felix Mottl and Siegfried Wagner. A few weeks ago there was an account in the papersof two Italian pianists who undertook to remain at their instruments for fifty hours consecutively, playing all the’time. Now a similar occurrence has taken place at Turin, tnis time between mandolinists, and must heve been more trying, for the uninterrupted scratching of a quill upon the cords of a man- dolin would be enough to excite the nerves of the most insensible. There were fourteen mandolinists, seyven of each sex, who met at Turin to strike the chords on this memorable occasion. The heroes of this festival pos- sessed the -faculty of eating and drinking without ceasing to play, which in itself ap- pearsto be rather & difficuls feat. The first prize, a gold medal, was gained by M. Luigi Novaro of Turin, who tortured his mandolin— and his audlence—for twenty-three hours and fifty-five minutes. The performance of the Iadies in this struggle could hardly be called heroic. However, three of them resisted for eighteen hours, which is & pretty good record, But the four others wilted quite early in the fight. What strikes one as being prodigious is that it was possible to secure amateurs will- ing to act as judges at such & seance—people Wwho were not forced to come, bui were ani- mated solely by the love of art. The Bavarian Chamber of Deputies, in a dis- cussion reiative to the subsidy granted to the opera of Munich, criticized the increase of price for places in the Wagner Theater at Bay- reuth. Now they have written from Bayreuth to the German papers ssying that this state. ment 1s without foundation. The price of places has not changed since 1876, because the expenses for so short & time are too great toallow of & reduction. The representations 01 1876 left deficit of 342,500 marks. Wagner hoped that he would be accorded & subvention from the Government or from some German Prince, but not having obtained the least as- sistance he s0ld to the director, Angelo Neu- mann, all the decorations and accessories of The news of the death of the Brazilian com- | ter alight happened during the public rehear- | compavy, has become a gort of impressario. Speaking of the operatic outlook, he say: “What do I think of Mapleson’s coming? Well, Iwish him well, but I tell you frankly I see nothing in store for Colonel Mapleson. Inter- fere in any way with Abbey & Grau? Never. Impartially speaking, there seems to me no basis here upon which Mapleson can success- | fully return. He might have some foliowing in the provincial cities, where Abbey & Grau do mnot go, but I doubt if even there money will be forthcoming. As to the report that Mr. Grau may succeed Sir Augustus Harrisin London, it has foundation and I am decidedly infavorof such an issue. By the new terms of agreement Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau are pledged to enter into no ousside theatrical venture, but Covent Garden, London, is an exception. Mr. Grau is well suited to the position. He knows the operatic world, speaks four or five languages and would work to their best ends all the possibilities of the London situation.” We are in & position, says the Trovatore of Milan, to give the first news of the autumn season at the International Lyric Theater, The msanager, Sonzogno, has allowed us to hear fivé or six of the greatest stars—Mmes.
