14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 18986. THE EXAMINER WAS FOR GOLD And It Predicted Defeat for Any Silver-Craze Candidate. | WHITNEY WAS ITS IDOL Hearst Heralded Him as One Whose Policy Would Cause Prosperity. TWO VIEWS ON GREAT ISSUES Until He Saw a Chance to Boom His Silver Mines Editor Hearst Was for Honest Money. TrE CALL'S exposure of the Examiner's position on the silver question has caused a great deal of interest throughout the State. Many readers of the Examiner's old editorials, reprinted in THE CALL, re- membered the fact that the Examiner had long been battling for the gold standard, or at least doing all in its power against | the free-silver movement, until young Mr. Hearst had something whispered in his ear about the chance to become a Monte Cristo No. 2 by the appreciation of his valuable silver mines. Ever since he heard the tempter’s voice his New York Morning Jourpal and his Examiner here have been beating their editorial tom-toms for free silver. I. comes very awkward to Mr. Hearst now, however, to be confronted with the ghost of his past utterances. The most famous acrobatic feat per- formed by the Examiner is seen in the contrast of its advocacy of 25 to 1 with its present utterances, exhibited in the tollow- ing deadly parallel: FAVORS 25 TO 1. Exsmiver, May 4, Examiner, September 1895—The ratio at|13, 1896—Under free which we could nnIelyiromlgo the silver dol- coin silver under anin-lar will be worth ex- ternational agreementjactly the same as the isnot the same underjgoid doliar, and the which we could do itjparity between silver alone.

To maintain the parity alone it might be nec essary to make the pro-| portion 25 to 1. Our sxperience has not en- touraged us to believe we could do this alone atl16 101, The 25 to 1 idea was set forth more than 8 year ago, but there have been more re- cent utterances in point. The foliowing from the issue of February 22, 1896. con- trasted with a late utterance speaks for itself: OPPOSES FANATICISM.

If half o them should be de- feated the next House and President might| find some financialj plan upon which all could agree. In its issue of June 20, 1896, the Ex- aminer looked upon the silver issue as hopeless, saying: The silver defection from the Republican party is simply that and nothing more, as the case stands at present. Should the silver men, however, succeed in the herculean task of convincing the Democrats and Populists that the curiency is the sole issue betore the coun- try, and that any great Natiomal party csn with a single issue represent ana harmonize the diverse beliefs held by free-silver advo- cates or other issues, it is concelvable that Teller will be able to lead the silver sentiment outside as well as inside the Renublican ranks. There is no present indication that such & situation can be brought about. On April 16 the Examiner showed its animosity to the silver movement by des- ignating silver men as a ‘sectional clique.” Here is the contrast with its present opinions: A NARROW ISSUE. Examiner, April 16, 1896—With Whitney in the field there would, be no more of the silly: talk about two Demo-| cratic tickets. He could| do more to reconcile| the West and South with the East on the financial question than| any other man, for his recommendations| would be felt to come| from a knowledge of the needs of the whole| Nation, and not from the pressure of a sec-| tional clique. Strangely, after recommending Whit- uey’s poligy as ‘‘one that could be felt to A BAVING CAUSE. Examiner, September 13, 1896 — When we have free coinage of both gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 there will be a break- ing up of the hera financial winter that has frozen the indus- trial energies of this new and wealthy coun- try. THEY WILL WORK IN THE PRISONS Commandant of the Ameri- can Volunteers Comes to Inspect. SHE LIKES THE OUTLOOK Mrs. Ballington Booth Will Be- gin Western Work at San Quentin AND END IT AT FOLSOM. Predicts a Great Future for the New Blue Uniformed Organiza- tion. A sweet-faced swee-tvciced little woman arrived in the City yesterday to inspect the work and the organization of the Vol- unteers of America. By right of being the wife of Baliington Booth she is the commandant of that organization. She paid a brief visit to the headquar- MRS. BALLINGTON BOOTH. come from a knowledge of the needs of the whole Nation,” the Examiner said on June 17, 1896: Another interesting circumstance is the movement to send William C. Whitney to Chicago in the interest of the gold-standard | faction. A close intimacy formerly existed between Cleveland and Whitney, and although there has been some talk to the effect that 1t | bad become strained the concurrence of the President’s letter with the Whitney move- | ment is significant. Here is the way the Examiner favored bonds and provosed to settle the money question in its issue of January 27, 1895: Provision for an issue of securities bearing a low rate of interest would put the Treasury | Department in ‘much better condition to meet emergencies, and the power should be given to the Secretary of the Treasury to raise money by this device whenever necessary. With such a law and the imposition of enough addl- tionaltaxes to give the Government the rev- enne it needs for support the financial prob- lem would be solved. On May 14, 1895, the same acrobatic paper again paid its compliments to the silver men as follows: According to the present disputants the issue is between the single gold standard and the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 | to 1 without international agreement— in other words, between gold monometallism and silver monometallism. But the majority of the American people are bimetallists. A thorough study of the files of the paper shows that it always occupied about the present position of the Republican varty until Mr. Hearst’s silver mine inter- ests overshadowed the paper’s desire to tell the truth and treat the subject in- genuously. THOSE NEW INSPECTORS. The Board of Health Asks Suggestions From Experienced Bodies Con- cerning Them. The Board of Health has addressed the following note to the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association of this City: The Board of Health of S8an Francisco is now enabled, by the recent action of the Board of Supervisors, to appoint a food-goods inspector at a salary of $75 per month, and as your as- soclation has more knowiedge and experience than we have in this benalf, we respectfully request You to name to us at your earliest con- venience some person who can discharge the duties of that office fitly. As politics, so-called, has nothing to do with pure foods, you wiil kindly consider, as we will, only the ability and honesty of such inspector. The note is signed by all the members of the board. A similar note was ad- dressed to Colonel George H. Mendell, Professor George Davidson, Marsden Man- son and Charles E. Grunsky, members of ‘“the late Sewerage Commission of the City and County of San Francisco,” with regard to the appointment of a sewer in- spector “at a salary of $75 per month."” ———— PRIZES FUR WHEELMEN.

Ido notcome here to create any disturbance in the ranks of that organization. If I had desired any- thing of the kind I should have been here long ago. We have our own work to do and we are simply gomng steadily along atiending to it. I'shall visit all the larger towns in the State. I shall begin my | work in the State with a meeting at San Quentin and close it with another at Fol- | som. My last meeting in New York was | at Sing Sing. When with the Salvation Army I .f"e much attention to prison work and the Volunteers will make a specialty of it, I have an average of 160 -letters a week from prisoners and ex- | convicts. We have already mad- 100 con- versions of prisoners in New York. We have established a home for them in New York, called Hope Hall. ““The Volunteers is a new organization,” continued Mrs. Booth. *It has made won- derful strides in that time, but we prefer to grow slowly and surely, to build upon |a sound foundation. It has great possi- | bilities, and I see for it a splendia future. | The formation of the Volunteers is upon | the same system as the army of the United States. The battalion headquar- ters are called ‘posts,’ the battalions are formed into regiments, and the regiments as the movement grows will be formed | into divisions. The officers are also designated by ranks simflar to the rezular army, and the uniform, as you know, is the army blue. “I am very much pleased with the prog- ress of the movement on this coast, ft seems to have the confidence and support of the people everywhere. No less than eleven posts have been organized, all of them flourishing,. The headquarters here is all that could be desired, as to loeation and the facilities it offors for the work. ‘The Volunteers’ has become a fixea and growing and influential organization in the East, despite the hot summer and the hard times, and I expect to see 1t become the same in every part of the country.” THE GIRLs' UNION. Proceedings of the Annual Meeting Held.

BANNER DAY AT THE FAIR Larger Attendance Than Any Previous Day Since the Opening. League of the Cross, Wheelmen and Native Sons and Daughters Do the Business. All previous records of attendance for this season at the Mechanics' Institute Fair were broken yesterday and last even- ing. It was the banner night. Over 10,000 people, friends of the League of the Cross Cadets, League of American ‘Wheelmen, Native Sons and Daughters, thronged the Pavilion. Several special vocal and instrumental musical selections were- rendered by the societies. The fair band had a special programme prepared in honor of the event. Bhortly after 8 o’clock the League of the Cross Cadets, bedecked in bright uniform and the usual military accouterments, entered the Pavilion, headed by a fife and drum corps. A few fancy movements were gone throughon the main floor of the Pavilion. Then they marched down the center aisle and upstairs to the art gallery, where a special musical and liter- ary programme took piace. Miss K. L. Galvin gave a piano solo and Professor S. J. Sandy, the well-known basso, sang. An address was deliyered by Colonel W. P. Sullivan Jr., during which he took occa- sion toeulogize the great movement in be- half of temperance and the necessity of supporting home industry in order to at- tain commercial prosperity. Roberto Stantini gave a tenor solo and Miss Clotilda Devlin rendered a difficalt move- ment on the violin, the accompanist on the piano being Miss Grace Deviin. At 9:30 o’clock the choir of the Leagune of the Cross Cadets rendered a grand chorus. The affair was under the ar- rangement of the following committee: Colonel Wi P. Bullivan Jr., Lieutenant- Colonel Thomas F. Ryan, Major Daniel C. Deasy, Captain James Powers, Lieutenant N. A. Denvir, A. B. Maguire, Charles B. Finn, J. C. Murphy. Several hundred of the wheelmen and their young ladies wore the regulation bicycle costume. They had no set pro- gramme, but everybody did everything in their power to make everybody else happy. Three grand prizes were offered for the club having the largest number present in unform, the best uniformed gentleman rider, the best uniformed lady rider. The Barker Club won the club prize and C. J. Sparrow was awarded the medal for being the best costumed wheel- man. The Native Sons and Daughters were resent in large numbers. El Dorado, rian and Orinda parlors turned out in full force. The bears and badges seemed about in the Pavilion in great pro- fusion. The pupilsof the Franklin Gram- mar School sang the “'Star-Spangled Ba ner” and other patriotic songs under the leadership of Miss Jane S8eymour Klink. ?}5 invitation of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association and the directors of the Mechanics' Institute the San Fran- cisco Commercial Travelers' Association will be guests at the fair this evening.

Chief Crowley’s petition for a station was favorably considered by the commit- tee, and he was invited to submit plans to come within the figure named.

Snowden Arrested for Embez- zling Mrs. S. B. Williams’ Property. The Romance of a Sad'y Duped Woman to Bz Aired in the Police 5 Court. Another interesting romance was knocked in the head last nig't by the po- lice, and a choice bit of gossip will be aired in the courts within the next few days, when the case of Robert Bnowden, charged with embezzlement, comes up for hearing. Snowden wasarrested last even- ing on Mason and Market streets by De- tectives Seymour and Whitaker, and lock d up in the City rPrison. He is a prepossessing appearing fellow, about 28 years of age. He claims to be a news- paper man, piano-player, etc. His vic- tim, who swore to the warrant, is Mrs. s‘nnh B. Williamrs, a widow over 40 years of age. The story of the difficulty as told by the complaining witness illustrates how eagily a person, even when well advanced in age, may be deceived. According to her story she met young Snowden in Denver, their acquaintance having been brought about through a newspaper per- sonal. Bnowden claimed to be the son of “General” Snowden of California, and said that he was well todo. He asked Mrs, Williams to fo with him or meet him in the Golden State, and she | promised to do so. Snowden left Denver and came to California, and later Mrs. Williams started for this State and her romised husband wet herin Sacramento. then she arrived here on August 10 she went to the Palace Hotel, where she has been until recently. According to her story Snowden induced ‘ber to part with money and jewelry amounting to $1500, and he delayed lead- ing her to the altar on the {lu that his father, the “‘general,” wasill. When the “general” recovered hesaid he would have plenty of money. At last the hotel people decided that it was time for Mrs, Wil- liams to pay her little bill of $90, and, as she was without funds, her trunks, etc., were retained, and Mrs. Williams was obliged to seek other quarters, which she found in a charitable institution in the Mission. By this time the woman was convinced that she had been sadly duped, and she swore out a warrant for her de- ceiver’s arrest. Snowden does not care to discuss the difficulty he is in, but says it will all come out right. ————— Singer Acquitted. Charles E.

Details of an Extortion Said to Have Been Put Upon the Crew of the J. D. Peters. S. D. Worden, though convicted of murder and now lying in durance under sentence of death, is not without friends. At its meeting last night the Labor Coun- cil decided to print and circulate 2500 copies of a petition prepared by the con- demned man's brother asking the Governor to commute Worden’s sentence to imprisonment for life. Delegate McArthur made a long ad- dress in support of the petition. He said the salient feature in the Worden case was | a desire in certain quarters to vindicate the claim that the autnorities have the right to harass all who may be prominent in the ranks of orzanized labor. Wor- den’s death would, he contended, set the seal of Governmental approval upon all future proceedings against the marshaled ranks of the working people. The petition will be sent to all the labor organizations in the State. Delegate Furuseth, representing the Sailors’ Union, reported that the owners of the bark J. D. Peters had shipped a crew in Port Townsend and paid $25 out of each man’s wages to an individual named Maxey. In addition to this, he said, the captain of the vessel had cnarged the men 25 cents apiece for clay pipes, $1 a bar for ordinary soap and for other necesearies 1n like proportion. ——————— In the Divorce Courts.
