THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, .OCTOBER 6, 1896, PROTECTION MAKES BIG STRIDES Yuba County Fruit-Growers | Are Solid for Mc- Kinley. Socialists Declare That Free Coinage Is Not a Panacea. WORK IS WHAT IS WANTED. Pree Silver Will Not Be Free to the Man Having No Employment. Speakers Assigned. The Republican State Central Commit- tee has mapped out a vigorous plan of ac- tion for the remaining weeks of the cam- paign. Next Thursday night at the Auditorium, corner of Jones and Eddy streets, there will be & mass-meeting under the manage- | ment of the McKinley Invincibles, at which Judge W. B. Heyburn of Idaho and Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt will de- liver addresses. At this meeting a novel feature of entertainment will be intro- duced. A quartet and chorus in full cos- tume will sing “The Tinker’s Chorus” from “Robin Hood.” The singing at these Auditorium meetings has become quite an attraction, but on this occasion it will surpass all others. Miss Ella Miller Spencer will sing campaign songs and there will be several numbers by the favor- ite quartet. Judge Heyburn has been an occupant of the Idaho bench for several years, and has an enviable reputation asa speaker and story-teller. There will be no doubt a big crowd to hear him, and those who de- sire seats should attend early. The gal- | jeries will be reserved for ladies and their escorts.

Bocialists have not been smitten with the silver craze. They believe that un- limited silver in the treasury of Senator Jones is not going to give labor to the un- employed nor wealth to the poverty stricken. Theodore Lynch, secretaty of Liberty. Branch, Bocialist Labor party, said toa CALL reporter yesterday : “‘Socialists do not believe that the free coinage of silver is the sine qua non of re- form, or that it will better the condition of the wage-worker. The Socialist Labor party is on this account different from other political parties like the Populist, which strives for and believes in a temn- porary palliative or in a modification of the present system. Socialists stand not only for the full demands of their plat- form, but for the overthrow of the present industrial and economic wage system. *“We believe that the state should own and control all the tools of production and exchange; that there should be only one. monopoly, one trust, one syndicate, and that should be the state. “The free-coinage issue is a delusion, because no workingman is golng to get even silver without working for it. We believe that the present competitive nys- tem must be altered and the co-operative system substituted for it, and that it is only by the adoption of the co-operative commonwealth that the present social in- equalities can be removed.” e YUBA ALL RIGHT. A Live Business Man Telis Why Protection Is Favored. D. E. Knight of the Marysville Woolen- mills was in town yesterday and gave a good account of political affairs in Yuba County. Mr. Knight is an ardent protec- tionist. He would rather pay a duty on foreign wool than to get foreign wool free of duty and have to compete ina demor- alized market with the products of the ‘pauper labor of Europe. Protection, by stimulating industry, en- ables the consumer to buy more and ex- tends the market. This means more of an output by Mr. Knight’s mitls. He is wil- ling to have the mints go on aa they are doing now, as long as his mills are pro- tected and kept running merrily all the year round. Mr. Knight said yesterday that he was confident that Yuba County would give a good majority for protection. *Yuba is an extensive fruit producing district, and much of the product 1s dried and canned. Hence the farmers of that section of country wanta high tariff on dried fruits. They are willing also that other industries should be protected in like manner and are willing to pay a little more for a home- made cultivator or a pruning knife, if nec- essary, for when the home factories are kept going the workmen will be able to buy fruit from California. —_— Loyal Montezumas.

Have Been Sold to Democratic Bosses. Honest Populists are doing the high- kicking act, and their bosses are laughing in their sleeves at them. Cator, Buckley and Rainey have put the party into their pockets, and have but- toned up their coats so that it can’t es- cape. C. P. Huntington is very much pleased with the work of his lientenants, who have succeeded in bottling the anti- railroad sentiment for another four years. The other corporations opposed to the Governmental ownership and control of public utilities are equally as well satisfied with the success of tusion brought about by Cator and his Democratic allies, for it has left them two enemies less to fight. The honest Populists, the sturdy mid- dle-of-the-road men, are pleased also, though for an opposite reason. What they FATHER YORKE'S FINAL LECTURE Concluding Address of the Series Delivered Last Night. Review of the Local Polifical Situation as Seen by the Speaker. MARSHALL'S DAMAGED MOUTH Arguments of Dr. Case and Dr. Dille Are Replied To by the Chancellor. Metropolitan Temple was last night filled by a demonstrative audience that gathered to hear Father Yorke deliver the last of the series of lectures given under the auspices of the American Women's Liberal League. Julius Kahn presided and prefaced the remarks of the speaker of the evening by an address in which he made a plea for freedom from religious persecution and vigorously attacked the A. P A, Father Yorke in his opening sentence said that he felt that the effort of the American Protective Association to secure political control of the situation had failed and that the power of that organization was on the wane. He then proceeded to answer the argument advanced a few days ago by the Rev. Dr. Case. “Dr. Case,” said the speaker, ‘‘declared that Father Yorke is a smart man. I am sorry I cannot return the compliment, for it is a terrible thing to have to deal with an adversary with the manners of a bear and the intellect of a gander. In his discussion of Catholic doctrines he says he does not believe in g;urga- tory. He may go farther and fare worse. What the soctor says about the Y. M. L being in litics is an old, worn- out gag. It is claimed that the existence of the A. P. A. is due to the existence of the Y. M. . Iam a member of the latter organization, and if L thought that it was mixed up in any kind of politics 1 would not stay in it for 2 minuie. Where there is no Y. M. I is where the A. P. A, flourishes. It is an association of enthusiasts whoss members are brave when having to fight only women and children. I tell you, no matter what Dr. Case may say, the solution of this ques- tion is not the disbandment of any organ- ization, but it is to send forth to the peo- ple of this State the fact that there is a God of justice, who executes his decrees upon this earth, and that men of principle are his ministers.” Father Yorke then turned his attention to Dr. Dille. He referred sarcastically to bad predicted when the silver czars cap- [that gentleman’s expressed surprise that tured the People’s Party Convention i St. Lonis and frittered away the honest Omaha platform, bas come to pass, and sion has placed Populism in the hands of its enemies ana its destruction has been wrought as surely as though it were a liv- ing being and the butcher’s knife were at its throat. Populism had clean arguments till now. Its leaders were believed to be honest and 1ts ranks were pure in heart, but the greed in the breast of a political jobber for a pos- sivle United. States Senatorship, and _the hope in the bosom of another man, not cunning enough to be a jobber, for an ex- pected collectorship yf the port, have done in California what tb'e greed and treachery of the Sockless Simpsons, the Sockful Al- lens and the Cyclone Davises have accom- plished in the Nation. These honest Populists who had stood aloof, bewildered and amazed, when the garment of their principles was divided among Buckley, Rainey, Huntington and Cator; the farmer with sunburned cheeks and freckled, calloused hands wondering why he was always poor and why the City man who sold his produce could afford to smoke fine cigars and drink the world’s best wines; the mechanic working on half time or not working at all while the roof over his head was growing a crop of rent for the landlord, increasing day by day—all these are begining to awake. The spell of Svengali Stewart is broken. The silver sheen on the desert has been reached at last and found to be a path of white alkali blazing 'in the sun anda blistering the hope of the thirsty traveler. A revolution is impending, and Buckley and Rainey and Cator and Huntington will soon jJearn that the first trick in euchre does not make the game. The first movement of the revolt will be the bolting of the Cator-Buckley-Rainey legislative ticket in this City. Populists are quietly talking among themselves and are preparing torepudiate the whole legis- lative ticket from this City, with the ex- ception of P. L. Archibald and Calvin Ew- ing, candidates for State Senators, both of whom are Populists. They will also throw overboard the municipal ticket, composed of Buckley lambs, and will support only. the few Populists who were thrown into the Buckley dough as People’s party: leaven, but who were not svfficiently potent to leaven the whole Buckley lump, the aforesaid lump being composed of more than ordinarily tough stuff. At the_head and front of it all stands Thomas V. Cator, who is a Cator man first, last and all the time. With an un- scrupulousness worthy of a fat Cssar, Cator has wrecked his party in order that he may step upon its ruins into the seat of a United States Senator. Cator is modest, that is with a certain kind of modesty. For instance: For United States Senator, THOMAS V. CATOR, People’s Party and Democratic The foregoing is his card in “The Pop- ulist” of this City. The announcement that he is the nominee 6f the Democratic| party will be news to Democrats. Populists of the First Congressional District will not vote for young Fletcher Cutler, the Democratic fusion candidate, for whom Anti-Railroad Monteith was thrown down by Mr. Huntington’s orders. Mr. Cutler has met with & black frost wherever he has appeared in the district. At Sausalito and San Rafael recently he had only half a hall full of people, and some of them guyed him. Fletcher is a real cute speaker. He has one speech, and it does not say anything about-the tariff or anything much about the financial fad, but there isa who'e lot in it about the snow-clad peaks of the grand old Sierras and the parched deserts of Mojave. 1t happens that there are no parched deserts in his district, so he has to borrow & few from Mr. Bowers every fi!fia he mnxeahn |p;ech. g is oratory is said to be burning—of the “‘Boy Stood on the Burning Deci” style. There is also in it a pathetic strain of the ““Woodman, Spare That Tree’ order which is considered very fetching indeed. That is, it-is fetching for everything except votes. LoANS on watches, jewelry, silverwars, at Uncle Harrls', 15 Grant avenue. he speakér should have mentloned a number of persons as members of the A. P. A. in connection with the political sit- uation. He said that Bishop Newman had issued an order for all his subordinates to vote a certain ticket and said if asking his hearersto vote for no man who has vio- lated the constitution was ‘“being in politics’’ he wasin politics up to his neck. ‘A secret society in politics is bound to be corrupt,” went on the speaker. “If it was established by angels and run by saints it might do some good, but bejng carried on by men it cannot help turning out a piece club and finally being sold out. The idea of the A.P. A.is to hold the balance of 'power by being able to throw a large number of votes any way it wants and so control all parties. Todo this the voters must give up their individuality and do as they are told. The primary principle of the so- ciety is therefore boss rule. The draw- back to the whole thing, however, is the liability to be sold out.” The attempt of H. N. F. Marshall to blackmail Joun D. Spreckels was rehearsed by Father Yorke, he claiming despite that gentleman’s denial that Mr. Spreckels made a combination with the A. P."A. The Sacramento convention and the local political fight also occupied a great deal of the speaker's attention. He scored the Civic Federation and wound up by an n_np;ultothose present to.vote as he de- sired. FATHER COILE'S HOME, He Sets the Pace in Enterprise by Beautifying Rich- 7 j,mond: A General Atmosphere of Progress add Prosperity Pervades the Valley by the Sea.. Richmond, the 1deal valley by the sea, is a center of activity and progress. The Rev. Father J. P. Coyle, pastor of the Roman Catholic church Star of the Sea, has set the pace for future improve- ments in the lovely valley beyond the cemeteries by starting the erection of a handsome residence on Eighth avenue nd’!“oining his church. he contract for the building has been let to Contractor P. Mahoney of Oakiand for $6000. The plans were drawn some time agoby Architects Shea & Shea, and the brick foundation has been laid by Matthew Brady upon a substantial basis, sufficiently strong to sustain a much larger building than the twelve rooms now about to be erected. But as Father Coyle said: *‘We are not building this house for a day or a year, but for at least a half of a century, as by that time the Richmond District will extend out to the ocean.” Evidently this prospective view is in his mind, as he has recently bought two large lots on Ninth avenue back og the church, upon which he will erect a schoolhouse at no distant day. Within the past three years the population has increased three- old. This building, however, is not the only one that is being erected in the Rich- mond district, ¥ A. H. Forst is putting up a $4000 house on_ Twentieth ayenue, between Point avenue and Clement street, upon a 56x120 foot lot. ' Francis Bracq is erecting a $3500 cottage of six rooms on California street, between Twelfth and Thirteenth avenues. Mrs. Minnie Armstrong is expending $3000 on the erection of a seven-room cot- tage on Twelith avenue, between Clement |. and California streets. si:mal L. Thornton is about to build a th: story house on Fourth avenue, be- tween Point Lobos avenue and A street, at a cost of $3000. Mrs. Anna K. Dixon will bave s five- room cottage on Eleventh avenue, be- tween Lake and California streets, on which she will spena $2500. Robert Allen_ will invest $3000 in the erection of a two-story house on fifteenth avenue, between Clement and California streets. T. H. Parker, a real-estate agent in the Richmond district, has bad an offer for a fifty-vara lot alongside the Maria Kip Or- phanage at an advance far above the price heretofore asked for similar property in the district, but the owner declined, al- leging that the lot will be worth twice as much within a few years. The Southern Pacific has at last awak- ened to the numerous protests made by the fiople whose property fronts on Point bos avenue, and has set a gang of men to _work removing the ola unused street railroad track from that thoroughfare. Fifth avenue, between Lake and Cali- fornia streets, has been graded and mac- adamized by Greely & Kenny. A sewer has been put down on Twelfth avenue, between Point Lobos avenue and A street, by the same contractors. A street, between Sixth and Seventh avenues, -has been graded, sewered ana macadamized by Contractors Sharon & MqHugh. Thisis the section adjacent to where the blind sewer is permitted to. stand in consequence of the obstinacy of the directors of the French Hospital, who alone hold out_against the improvement and the necessity of continuing the sewer alongside of their property from A street to Point Lobos avenuve on Sixth avenue. The heirs of the Hamilton estate have come into the line of progress and signed their consent to permit Felix McHugh to put the sewer in, bt the French Hospital property remains ‘impassive to the re- quests of the other property-owners and the management declines to sign the con- tract by which the sanitary condition of the hospital would be improved. Twenty- first avenue, between Clement and Cali- fornia, has been graded and sewered. In addition to all this notable improvement the old Bay District racecourse has been filled in and is now one plateau of white sand. The only laudmark by which the old familiar site can be recognized is the grand-stand buildin, REVISION OF LABOR LAWS the Convention to Consider Matter €alled for Next Sunday. Delegates Invited From Ail the Trade and Labor Organizations of the City. Great interest is being manifested by the various labor organizations in the con- vention called for next Sunday to take ac- tion regarding labor laws to be amended or introduced during the coming session of the Legislature. The call for the con- vention was issued by the District Council of the Carpenters and Joiners of Ameiica, and was sent out on S8aturday by Secretary R. B. Ingle. Itreads as follows: §'At a regular meeting of the District Council of Carpenters and Joiners of America, held ‘Wednesday evening, September 30, I was in- structed 1o issue an invitation to xl{ trade and labor organizations of the City and County of Ban Francisco to participate in a labor con- vention to be held for the purpose of propos- ing and amendaing labor iaws, such as eight~ hour laws, lien laws, life and limb laws, ete.; also 10 take up the labor laws proposed by the State Labor Commissioner and make such recommendation or amendments to the same as will be beneficial to the working classes. The convention will be hela Sunday, October 11, at 10 o'clock A. M., at the halls of the Labor Bureau Association, 9154 Market street. We ask your organization to aproint three delegates to be furnished with the proper credentials. Don't fail to respond, as this is a matter of vital importance to all con- cerned. In accordance with this invitation Car- penters’ Union No. 483 last night at its session at the Labor Bureau Association rooms sppointed the following three delegates to the convention: C. Buckley, G. Lathrop and J. McCartney. New Pastor’s Residence for the Rev. Father Coyle in the Richmond District, 2 THE ASSISTANTS OF SAM RAINEY Citizens Generally So Re- gard the Little Non- Partisan Crowd. The Ticket Would Give the Local Government Wholly to the Democracy. HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW PHELAN. Alleged Non-Partisans Dipped Into Partisan Politics on the Leg- islative Tick:t. The Non-Partisan ticket is now a thing of three campaigns in San Francisco. The movement started out well some years ago, deserving of the respect of all good citizens. Then it fell into the hands of Dan Burns when he ‘had reason to war on other bosses, then it petered out to an ‘‘indorsement” of par- tisan candidates, and this year it has become a little, boss- ridden movement controlled by three or four or more men with friends, ideas and some force, and backed by fifty complaisant citizens of good intentions, considerable innocence, much faith and little political wisdom. * A consensus of ' the impressions and the decided opinions of the , best citizens representing all parties is easily obtained by any ohservant man interested in the welfare of the com- munity who converses much with people on the streetcars, ou the sidewalks and in the baunts of business. 5 It is ea<ily discovered about town that _the Non-Partisan ticket of this campaign is an ignoble thing, which is drawing small respect and support to its side. A small handful of men representing no constituency but their political friends and their prejudices met in formal con- vention for several nights and ratified the judgments of three or four men whose leadership seemed to be conceded, as lead- ership is always conceded when men come together. Now intelligent citizens are sizing up the work of the Non-Partisan ‘“‘conven- tion,”” the ‘convention’’ being a small seif-appointed body created hastily amid the wreck of the Non-Partisan campaign of two years azo. It is being privately said by the real Non-Partisans of the City, including many of the sincere men who went heartily into the movement a few years ago, when it seemed to promise something good, that the Non-Partisan convention of this year ap- pears to have been a small handinl of gretty good people who were used as tools y anscrupulous politicians wherever the leaders of the movement had no friends or policies of their own to stand by. It is oeing universally observed that the Non-Partisan ticket, if successful, would, in the event of the success of the new charter, throw the entire City govern- ment, with its patronage and election ma- ehinery, into the hands of the Demo- crats. ‘While George K. Fitch acted as chair- man of the formal meetings, it is well known that the powers which controlled the action of the convention were mainly Frank J. Sullivan, Jeremiah Lynch and L. R. Ellert. The main thing to be gained was the City government, for the Non-Partisan convention supported the charter and gambled on its suecess. It was Frank J. Sullivan’s first care to capture 'the nomination for Mayor for his orother-in- law James D. Phelan. If Mr. Phelan were Mayor under the new charter an immense amount of patronage would be at his dis- posal. Democratic bosses pulled the strings of the convention so successfully that the Democracy captured everything worth having in the municipal indorsements, N\ R which are seen to be as follows : Mayor, James D. Phelan; Auditor, William Broderick Tax Collector,, W. N. Block; Re- corder, T; J. Glynn; City and County Attor- ney, H.,T. Cresweil; Administrator, A. C. Fregse; Sheriff, R. L Whelan; County Clerk, M. C. Haley. It was a clean sweep of the municipal offices the Democratic wire-pullers effected in_that Non-Partisan convention It is the action of the Non-Partisan Convention in nominating a complete legislative ticket that has best displayed the spirit of the combination and most disgusted the voters who look for what in politics has the qualities of cleanness and good sense. Citizens who might have gained confi- dence in the ‘‘Non-Partisan” judgment of party candidates are unable to see why a Non-Partisan body should thrust itselfinto National politics if it wished to be true to its avowed purposes and principles. The legislative campaign.of this year in California involves the election of a United States Senator and in other ways than this the ballots cast this year for Assemblymen and Senators in- volve the wishes of the voters on the highest National issues that are presented to them. This effort of the little Non-Partisan | bosses to take 2 hand in the vital is- sues of party politics has especially dis- gusted a majority of the voters -to whom - the Non-Partisans expect - to appeal. Many members of the Non-Parti- san Convention repudiated this action and are not backw: about denouncing it now. One of them is Julius Kahn, who is in- tensely disgusted, but who talks very con- servalively for publication. “I was opposed to the convention tak- ing any‘hand in the legislative fight,” said Mr. | Kahn last night, “and I am opposed fo it now. The election of a "United States Senator is one of the things involved in the legislative issues, and as that is properly a field for g-rty ‘politcs I do not think that a Non- artisan convention should go out of its muniuiE:l field to enter it.” e But t) Bolmcnl pulls which controlled the Non-Partisan Convention were too strong to stop with a plan for the capture of the municipal government. Some chances fo exercise pulls in the coming Legislature were wanted as well. SRR Dimond Silver Club.

A Noted Physician Offers to Prove This to All Sufferers in San Fran- cisco on Thursday. The majority of suiferers from asthma and kindred complaints, after trying doc- tors and numberless remedies advertised as positive cures without avail, have come 1 the conclusion that there is no cure for this most distressing disease, and these same persons will pe the more in doubt and skeptical when they learn through the columns of the press that Dr. Rudolph Schiffmann, the recognized au- thority who hds treated more cases of these diseases than any living doctor, has achieved success by perfecting a remedy which not only gives immediate relief in the worst cases, but has positively' cured thousands of sufferers who were consid- ered incurable, These were just as skep- tical as some of our readers now are. Dr. Schiffmann’s remedy no doubt pos- sesses the merit which is claimed for it or he would not authorize this paper to an- nounce that he is not only willing to give free to each person suffering from asthma, hay fever or bronechitis in this city one liberal ‘‘free trial box’ of his Cure, but ur- gently requests all sufferers to call at Will- iam J. Bryan's drugstore, under Grand Ho- tel, from 8 a. . till 6 p. M. Thursday, Oct. 8th, and receive a package absolutely free of charge, knowing that in making the claim he does for his Cure a strong doubt may arise in the minds of many, aud that a personal test, as he offers to all, w1'l be more convincing, and prove its mer'ts, than the publishing of thousands of testi- monials from persons who hsvs been per- manently cured by the usz of his Asthma Cure. ‘‘Dr. Schiffmann’s Asthma Cure,” as it is called, has _been sold by druggists of this City'ever since it was first intro- duced, although many persons may never bave heard of it, and it is with a view to reaghing these that he makes this offer. This is cenninlfl a most generous and fair offer, and all who are suffering from any of the above complaints should remember the date and place where the distribution will be made and_avail themselves of the same. Persons ‘living out of this City who desire to.test the efficacy of this most wonderful remedy will receive a packace free by mail by writing to Dr. R. Schiff- manv, 315 Rosabel street, St. Paul, Minn., providing their letter is received before Oct. 18, as no free samples can be obtained after that date. DR.
