WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Okio ¥FOR VICF-PRESIDENT— GARRET A, HOBART, of New Jersey FOR PRESIDENT— ‘ | | | S — 1s your name on the register? Foraker is coming West and the West | will meet him half way. If the Populists indorse the deficit tariff that will be the end of them. The more the people think about Mr, Bryan the less they think of him, To intrust the cause of free silver to the fiasco party would be to make it also a fiasco. The election of McKinley will not only restore prosperity, but silence the calamity howler. Sewall's record doesn’t promise easy sailing for his party sny more than for his sailors. The fruit crop in the East will be short, but California can make up the deficit and the people won’t suffer. The People’s party may possibly indorse Bryan, but the people themselves will cer- tainly indorse McKinley. After the campaign of education every intelligent business man will vote for McKinley and bimetallism. The public sentiment that was strong enough to nominate McKinley is also strong enough to elect him. If Bryan had been true to his talents he would have taken to the stage and been a popular favorite in melodrama. The speech with which Tom Reed will open the campaign will make Bryan's rhetoric appear as flat as stale beer. The business man who fails to register will find he has neglected a very impor- tant business before the campaign is over. Not long ago there was a big demand for a short campaign, but now everybody wishes it to begin at once and keep mov- ing. A Democratic and Populist combination would be simply a conspiracy to obtain the &poils of office and the people would mock at it. There will be a big fight at St. Louis for the possession of the middie of the road, and the defeated faction will have to bolt to escape being thrown in the ditch. It matters not what the Populist con- ;vention wili do or leave undone, the next IPresident will be tbe soldier-statesman and patriot candidate, William McKinley. ‘Workingmen who wish information con- wcerning the Democratic millionaire candi- date for Vice-President have only to apply ~ | TION NOVEMEER 3, 1896. | | gent young men | YoUNe MEN IN POLITIOCS. One of the most satisfactory features of the campaign thus far 1s the extent to which the young men of California are | aliying themselves with the Republican party. They are not contenting them- selyes with a mere declaration for McKin- ley and Hobart. They are joining the party clubs and formally putting them- | selves on record as men who intend to be known in life as Republicans and sup- porters of the great principles it stands | for. Readers of Tue CaLr can have hardly failed to notice the number and strength of local Republican clubs. Reports of their organization and proceedings consti- tute a large part of the news of the day. They represent all districts of the City and all classes of voters. Their number has never been equaled before this cam- paign and the strength of their member- ship is rapidly increasing. That increase is drawn largely from the intelligent, pa- triotic youth of the City. Many conserva- tive Democrats, disgusted with the snap- shot nomination of an irresponsible agitator at Chicago, are, of course, joining the Republican ranks for this campaign, but comparatively few of these join the party clubs. It is the young men who are doing that. This tendency of the young men of the State is significant of the position the Republican party occupies in our poli- tics. It is the party of progress and appeals to men of progressive ideas. | It is the party of American industry and | appeals to those who have American in- | dustries to promote and advance. It is the party of the future and appeals to | those whose political ideas reach beyond | For all these | | the issues of this campaign. | reasons it is in a peculiar sense the party of yvoung men. Youth is attracted to it not more by the glorious record of its his- | torie- past than by the equally glorious | promise of its ruture. Young men find in | its platform an expression of broadly Na- | tional policies with which they sympa- | thize, and they see in its leaders men whose patriotism and statesmanship are undoubted and whose banners they are proud to follow. | Although a thousand noble sentiments | associated with the names of Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and Blaine inspire in young Americans a loyal esteem for the varty they led, it is not sentiment only that animates them in joining it. Intelli- see the Democratic party decrepid, discredited and divided, and the Populist party following every political ~ will-o’-the-wisp that germi- nates ip discontented minds. They know that neither of these parties as at present constituted has any political future, and that neither of them could successinlly administer the affairs of the Nation, or even of a State. There- fore, the roung men who are engaged in industry and look forward to the future turn to the party of industry and the future. Thaey join it to work forit. They unite themselves with Republican clubs, making themselves permanent members of the organization and giving notice to the country that in thisand other cam- paigns they are on the side of patriotism, protection and prosperity. BRYAN AND BOLTERS. In June of last year W. J. Bryan madea tour of the South in the interest of free- silver coinage. IHe went ostensibly at the invitation of Democratic free-silver clubs, but that which moved him most to go and deliver his silver speech was the salary that was being paid to him by an associa- tion of silver-mine owners. At Jackson, Miss., on June 11, he was interrupted in bis oratorical effort by Judge Brame, a prominent - Mississippi Democrat, to ask Mr. Bryan if he would support the plat- form of the Natioral Democratic Conven- tion if it should fail to declare for free silver at 16 to 1. Mr. Bryan struck a kind of an Ajax-defying-the-lightning attitude, and, placing one hand above his heart and lifting the other toward heaven, he said: “So help me God, I will diein my tracks before I will support 1t.”” If what Mr. Bryan said at Jackson re- flects his houest sentiments he should have very little respect for a man who would support him against his own con- victions. In fact, if Mr. Bryan is sincere he must hope that no man who is not in accord with the money plank of the Chi- cago platform will so far compromise his manhood as to support the ticket that stands for that plattorm. If Mr. Bryan would ‘‘die in his tracks” before he would support the platform without a declaration for the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 he certainly could entertain only contempt for a man who would support it for mere party sake. But Mr. Bryan absolves all Democrats from the sin of party desertion who are opposed to his own views upon the money question. He believes it would be more manly in a voter to die in his tracks than to vote for a proposition that he thought Was wrong. A political policy must be very low and wicked when a man of Mr. Bryan’s ambi- tion would die in his tracks before he to a member cf the Coast Seamupn’s Union. This campaign will show that the ma- fority of the American people are thor- oughly National in their sentiments, and Rhe sectional party will not win even in ®ections. There is absolutely nothing in the record of the Democratic administration that can be urged as a reason why the party should be again intrusted with the control of the Government. To give employment to the nuémployed with good wages for good work is the main Sesue before the American people, and would support it, but it could not be more vicious nor more infamous than men who would support it, hence any Democrat who is not in accord with the Chicago platiorm is & very low and disreputable verson, and rather than have anything to do with such a person Mr. Bryan would die in his tracks. Now, to understand what a hypoerite Mr. Bryan is, one need only to read the abuse he is heaping upon all Democrats who even hesitate to accept him and his platform through the col- umns of his newspaper. He calls them ‘‘heathen,” “bolters,”’ ‘‘money sharks,’” ‘‘trust ana monopoly managers,” *‘aristo- crats,” ‘‘bloated bondholders,” ‘*‘enemies there is abundant evidence that the people #0 understand it. 1f any Democratic orator hopes to dodge the deficit tariff question during the cam- paign he had petter begin practicing. It will be the first brick thrown at him when he takes the stump. There is much talk ol Bryan's oratory just now, but when the great Republican orators take the stump the country will bear an eloquence that has in it some- thing more than rhetoric. Most of our money troubles have re- sulted from a deficit in the National rey-- enues, and a protective tariff by providing ample revenues will go far toward settling the money question to the satisfaction of Republican harmony is at this time ab- solutely essential to National prosperity, and no true advocate of public welfare can consistently act with those who are trying to divide the party ranks and discredit its. leaders. Andrew D. White of Cornell University is another of those far-sighted students of current events who warn the country of the revolutionary tendencies of the Dem- ocratic party. What was done at Chicago was but the beginning of a dangerous pol- icy and unless the party is checked by an overwhelming vote of the people there is po telling what disasters may be brought Bpon the country, of the common people,” *“hirelings of Great Britam,” ‘‘contemptible and cow- ardly party deserters,”” and many other names that only a very angry man could think of. But he wants thelr votes all the same, DESTRUOTIVE FOREST FIRES. Forest fires in the State of ‘Washington are spreading in every direction, and al- ready lives have been lost and a vast amount of property destroyed. In large sections of country there is scarcely a min- ing camp left, and in many places the miners hadall they could do to reach places of safety. The loss already sustained in the destruction of timber alone will, it is reported, mount up to miliions of doliars. As yetno towns have been destroyed, but several are in great danger, and unless there is a heayy fall of rain very soon it is feared that itvwill be impossible to save many of the interior trade centers. In the region about Spokane Falls, railway trains are operated with difficulty because of the track being obstructed by falling trees. 1f these terrible forest fires which visit some portions of the West nearly every summer were from natural causes there would be less reason to complain of the destruction they work, but they are almost slways traceable to the carelessness of hunters and prospectors who appear to be wholly indifferentas to what may com of their neglect to provide against the spread of their campfire into greaf con. flagrations. Perhaps a law making such carelessness a felony might bring them to their senses, but anyway the destruction of life and property every year by forest fires is too serious a matter to let go with- out effort of some kind that is calculated to at least confine them to natural causes. MEN AND PLATFORMS. Itisa well-established political princi- ple in this country that a candidate for President must beestimated and measured according to his party’s platform, and unless a candidate should assume the right to make his own personality of more con- sequence than his party’s declaration of principles he is not a legitimate subject for discussion except as the chief represen- tative of a principle that is sought to be applied in the practical operation of the affairs of the Government. The presumptionis that the party has selected the proper material to carry out its purposes, and that he will be faithful to his party's declared policy. No onecan doubt that if Mr. MeKinley is elected the economicand financial theories as declared in the St. Louis platform will be applied in the conduct of the affairs of the coun- try. The central idea of that platform is to establish and maintain conditions of prosperity for all the people. The plat- form knows no East, West, North nor South, but includes every neighborhood and individual in its purpose to strengthen the channels of money-making and money- saving. In his candidacy Mr. McKinley stands for all the platform declares. The same may be said of Mr. Bryan. He stands for the declarations of his party. But there isa wide difference be- tween what his platform and Mr. Mc- Kinley’s platform declare as to the better system of government. Mr. Bryan’s plat- form declares that the “interior States” snould have the preference in all things, especially should the major portion of public money set apart for internal im- provements be expended upon the water- ways of the interior States that they may have ‘‘easy and cheap transportation.” Thus Mr. Bryan's platform declares for s’ecnunllism' while Mr. McKinley's plat- form declares for nationalism. If Mr. McKinley is elected the whole country will participate in whatever of good ac- crues. If Mr. Bryan is elected the “in- terior States” will have the lion’s share. FOR A LIVELY CAMPAIGN. The managers of Mr. McKinley’s candi- dacy are arranging for a campaign of edu- cation that will greatly surpass anything of the kind hitherto undertaken. Practi- cally alt the great orators of the party will mount the bustings, which will give tne people an opportunity to hear the princi- ples of the party explained in a way that no one need go to the polls in November unacquainted with every plan and every purpose of the party. With a special train of cars, so that speakers may accommo- date their traveling time schedule the convenience of the several communities to be visited, ten times more territory can be covered than by the old way. 1tis understood that Senator Foraker will be assigned to the Pacific Coast. Mr. Foraker has been long distinguished for oratorical ability; besides he is one of the first statesmen of the country, and the kind of a Republican whose enthusiasm for the success of his party never abates or grows cold. But there will be other lead- ing lights from the East to help bring the people to a realizing sense of the impor- tance to their own business enterprises of placing the conduct of the affairsof the country in the hands of the party that will inaugurate and maintain a degree of prosperity that shall be in keeping with the magnitude and variety of our com- mercial and industrial possibilities. But while the presence of these dis- tinguisied leaders of the party will help materially in bringing out the full vote, there is much for the Republicans of Cali- fornia especially to do meanwhile. There should be well-organized marching clubs in every community fully equipped to make an attractive parade by night or by day, so that when Senator Foraker and other speakers come they shail be met at every station by enthusiastic organiza- tions. If California is to be saved to the Republican party work will have to be done. The Democracy is planning for a vigorous campaign, and it should be more than countermatched in every voting precinct. THE TRUTH ABOUT THE BUSY BEE. How doth the little busy bee Improve its shining hour? He wastes it gathering sweets which he Will never help devour. For ere the shining hours are fled, He leaves his honey stored, The foolish busy bee is dead, And vandals raid his hoard. Now (from the standpolnt of the bee), He wasted toil and strife, By misdirected industry He missed the sweets of life, 0f course men praise the busy bee, If they didn’t 'twould be funny; For when he’s stored it, don't you see, ‘They get the b. b.'s honey. ~—Puck.

Deputy Sheriff Hopkins of Sants Barbara was one of the noticesble characters seen about”the Baldwin yesterdsy. -He arrived from the south Saturday with a prisoner for San Quentin, and is now yisiting his wite at 438 Geary street, where his family has resided for several years wnile he has remained in Santa Barbars apprehending criminals. Marshal Hopkins, or *“Hop,” as be is famil- iarly known, isa man past middle age, thick. set, and with hair and mustache well tinged with gray, but with a pair of keen blue eyes that, though behind gold-bound glasses, show no signs of dimness after over twenty years of constant police duty. He it was who within the last few weeksshot and killed Cyrus Barnard, whom he undertook toarrest for the murder of Mrs. Davidson and her deughter. Barnard had stepped into his cabinon the pretext of putting down some packages. He turned quickly and from the darkness fired at the officer’s head. The bullet went through Hopkins’ hat, and so close was he to his asseilant that his face was burned by the flash from the pistol. Hopkins drew in- stantly and fired back, and thea dodged to one side of the doorway to await developments. But -his alm' had been iatal, as the posse W. W. Hopkims, the Santa Barbara Deputy Sheriff Who Shot Gambler Barnard Through the Heart for Resisting Arrest After the Recent Frightful Murder of Two Women in El Montecito. learned a little later. The Coromer's jury found that the victim came to his death by a shot from a pistol in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Hopkins, whom it exonerated and com- mended for his action. Now, it seems there is talk in Santa Barbara of making Hopkins Sheriff, and Mayor Whit- ney and a number of the leading citizens are interesting themselves to that end. Of all the frightful murders that have been committed in California during the epidemic thatseems to have prevailed for some time that at El Montecito is the only one that has been promptly avenged, and that is one of the res- sons why the people of the quiet, picturesque old town by the sea wish to show their appreci- ation of the fearless officer who has for so many years been a terror to criminals, About a year and a half ago Hopkins rushed upon and disarmed two drunken Indians who had just shot another officer in the pit of the stomach. They had been running emuck in the lower part of town aud were painting things red along the boulevard when tne first officer attempted to arrest them. When Hop- kins appeared upon the scene he was warned to bewsre, but he moved quickly upon them, wrenched their pistols away and threw one and then the other Indian upen the groupd. An examination of the pistols showed that the Indians had snapped two cartridges at him. Santa Barbara County has iong been Repub- lican, and Hopkins is said to be & life-long aa- herent 10 the principles of that party, with many friends among the Democrats. “For forty years I have been studying and collecting information apout the American Indians,” said Dr. J. Simmes, the traveler and {ecmrer, as he was getting his things ready he other day at the Russ preparatory to start- ing on enother little expedition. have visite2 every tribe in the United States except a few remnants of tribes that once lived in Connecticut. There are rem- nents in New York State to-day of nine dis- tinct tribes. *My intention is to publish & book on the Indians of North Americe, to show also that where Indians have intermarried with whites & higher type of man has been the result. Some of the Indians so interblended have held high positions in history, science and the arts. 1shall deal, too, with the impositions the In- dians have suffered. “In three or four years the work will be ready for publication, but so far I have done nothing but collect the data, which in itself is very voluminous. An uncle of mine, Stephen R. Simmes, wrote a history of the Inaians of the southern part of New York. Ie wesen- gaged during seven years in collecting the data for a work of one volume. I have just returned from & rip to Alaska, where [ went to study the Indians. All along the Alaskan coast the Indians have intermar- ried with the Japanese. Their eyes have that peculiar almond shape. They are shorter in stature and of a sturdier build than the aver- age American Indian. The infusion of Japan- ese blood has also added considerably to their energy, for the Indians of the Alaskan coast are certainly the best working Indians there are. Back of the Coast Range the Indian type is higher. The men are larger. They are thrifty, and devote themselves to agriculture. Between them and the coast Indians there is little or no intercourse. “In Australia and the islands of the Pacific there are but two classes of sborigines—Indi- The New Zealanders, the ans and negroes, Semoans aud the Sandwich Islanders are all practically of the American Indian blood. They have the straight black hair and the The Australians and the na- tives of the other islands are negroes. Their bair is curly and their skin is black. The na- bronzed skin; tive Australian is the lowest type of man on earth. Ihaveseen them eat dead snakes that were already decomposed. They scrape out little wallows in the sand to sleep in, and at night huddle into them like wild animals.’ Dr. Simmes has given a great many curios collected by himself, to the Park Museum, and he has also given s Jarge number of valuable old English books to the San Francisco Public Library.

A POPULIST ESTIMATE. HOW A LEADER OF THE PEOPLE'S PARTY FIG- URES THE RESULT IN NOVEM:ER. Editor Call: Asone of the organizing com- mittee of the People’s party of this City I have collated and kept careful statistics of the vole of the People’s party in every State sinceits in- ception. From these figures, which, with the percentages of the total vote, may be relied upon, the following tables are constructed. To enable your readers 1o sense their full im- portance I beg to say: First—That the People’s party is one of prin- ciples and bas never heretofore expected to win; therefore that mearly every vote hereto- fore cast for it will remain with it at this elec- tion. Second—That it is a party of active propa- ganda in season and out, and that its recorded vote in every State and every town shows each new election, and has so shown at every elec- tion, a steady, persistent and regular increase. At every election it has doubled, and in many has trebled its yote. In every State, therefore, ‘where our vote at the last election was more than 30 per cent of the whole we are by the logic of the past now justified in believing that we shall carry that State.

Fprtu: nately, ‘Hymns Ancient and Modetn’ omfts the most absurd verse, which speaks of ‘Sun, moon and stars forgot” " Three of Faber's hymns are also in bad odor with the Bishop, viz., “‘Hark, Hark, My Soul,” “O Paradise! O Para- dise!” and “Jesus is God.”” These, he deolares, must always be most unreal and most unmesn- ing as sung by an ordinary congregation.
