Tom Reed began his address in Los An- geles by saying: “For the first time in my life I find myself facing a multitude so great that it seems to me an absolutely hopeless task to attempt to reach one half of it.” It seems clear from this statement of the speaker and from all reports that come to us that the audience which greeted the great orator at Los Angeles was the largest that had ever welcomed him in the whole course of his long and distinguished career. The reception given at Los Angeles was typical of California. Nearly every citi- zen of the State will feel a glow of pride in learning that on his arrival within our borders and in the first city in which he spoke Mr. Reed found the most cordial welcome of his life. ThatAs what Califor- nia intended to give him. LosAngeles has but expressed the sentiment of the whole State. We are gratificd to learn that the metropolis of the south so well manifested the admiration and the love which we feel for our distinguished leader in the cause of protection and of American honor. Wherever he speaks in California Mr. Reed will find a welcome equally cordial. The audiences may not always be so large, but the enthusiasm will be none the less evident. The people of every section of ihe State honor the great leader of the Re- publicans of Maine in whom they seea successor to Mr. Blaine, not unworthy of his office, and whom they yet expect to elevate to the great office of President of the United States. California, whose loy- alty to Blaine attracted the attention of the whole Union, is hardly less earnest in her admiration for his great successor, and wherever he goes in this State he will find evidences of this manifest in every way which men have of expressing their thoughts and feelings. The culmination of Mr. Reed's recep- tion in California will be in this City. What was done in his honor in Los Angeles was but a preliminary to what will be done here. San Francisco will give him a welcome in which all California will take part. He wiil find our streets adorned with banners and crowded with applauding thousands. He will come to us to receive a triumph such as has been accorded to but few men in the history of the City. It is even possible that he will be met with a display of welcome equal to that which greeted General Granton his return from a voyage round the world. The people of California are by nature epthusiastic. What they feel they delight in expressing. They teel for Mr. Reed the devotion which loyal-soldiers in a great cause feel for the leader who has the genius and ability to compel victory. They recognize in the coming of Mr. Reed a bharbinger of the coming of complete suc- cess for the Republican ticket and all that it stands for in this campaign. Their welcome to him therefore will be a demon- stration of patriotism such as wiil give him just pride to remember, and be for ourzelves a memorable event in the his- tory of our City:. The United States and France, for ex. ample, are goid-standard countries; they keep over one thousand millions of silver in circulation, but there is not a dollar of gold in circulation in Mex- ico, in China or in Japan, which are the silver countries. In other words, the only countri-s which maintain bi- metallism in a limited degree, bimet- allism at all in any degrse, are the go'd- standard countries. Th. free coinage silver countries are on the single silver standard and have no gold at all.—Sen- ator Lodge LET THE OOUNTRY COME IN The great rally of the friends of Ameri- can prosperity in this City on Saturday should by no means be contin d to the people of Ban Francisco and its suburbs. Men from all parts of the State should at- tend it and take part in it. Those who live in Central California at any rate should make it a point to be present. Special trains are to' be run for the benefit of visitors from surrounding towns, and as many as possible should take advantage of them. We count on making the day the most notable in the history of California politics, We wish the people from the farms and the interior towns to come in and help swell the num- bers and augment the enthusiasm. We wish them to have their share in the wei- come to Reed and the grand demonstra- tion of patriotism. The call of S8an Francisco goesout to the people of all the State. Come in and join the big parade, have a voice in the shout- ing, catch the inspiration of the leader- ship of Reed. The glory of the comingz victory will be visible in the streets on that day and audible in the triumphant acclaims of the mass-meeting in theeven- ing. There will be room for all and a wel- come for all. Let the country come in. If we go te the free coinage of silver we release all our gold; it goes to the gold-standard countries; we are left on the single silver standard. Our gold going to the gold-standard countries relieves the pressure, if such a pressure exists, from a lacs of gold. They have our gold and we have passed from the ranks of the great civilized nations to the companionship of Mexico.and China and Japan. They are mot our natural allies in business or in finance or in political economy, Therefore the road to deitroy all hope of true bimetallism is for this country to go to the silver standard.—Senator Lodge. BANNER DAY. It is very evident that the fusion man- agers have been frightened by the deter mination of the Republican party and the conservative Democratic support of Mec- Kinley. They are afraid to stand up and Bryan began his campaign by trying to browbeat honest money advecates and ends it with a whine of coercion, so he evidently struck something bigger than . " he expected. 3 _— California workingmen will never yote * for depreciated money in the payment of wages. They do the best work in the .world and deserve to be paid in the best money in the world The people of this country were never 80 eager to vote asnow, and since they have to wait until next week it is not strange that they keep up a big shouting to reiieve iheir feelings., uamit ¥ 5 T8 + The Democratic depression has indeed vroduced a great deal of discontent among the people, but. 1t has been a dis- content with free trade and not with sound money, as th3 Bryanites think. be counted. They are even afraid to per- mit the patriot element of tLe country to be counted. Therefore, when Mr. Hanna, chairman of the Republican National Committee, called upon all supporters of McKinley and Hobart to fly the National flag on Saturday they made haste to urge Bryanites to do the same. The object of the Bryanite managers in this movement is too evident for any one to be deceived. It is clear they foresaw that the display of the National flag on houses of business, offices, shops, factories and homes would be so universal on that day that the followers of Bryan would be disconcerted and discouraged by the manifestation of public opinion. To guard against the effect of the display they have called upon the Bryanites to take part in it. By this transparent trick they will enable their orators and organs to declare that the universality of the dis- THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1896. play of the Nationa! flag was no proof of the extent of the popular support of the Republicen ticket. The fusion managers are welcome to whatsoever profit they may derive from these tactics. The banners displayed on Saturday will on the whole express the patriotism of the people, even though there be a few Bryanites here and there who will float the flag merely to cover their partisan discomfiture. A day in which patriotism is manifested and the National barner is everywhere set forth to arouse the Icyalty of the people cannot {ail to have a good effect even if some in- sincere people happen to join in it. It will bear witness to the fact thateven agitators are compelled to respect the patriotism of the country, and that even the boldest of mischief makers dare not go so far as to defy the resolute expression of the people 1 favor of National nonor and National integrity. We have no objection to urge against \the appeal of the Ezaminer of yesterday that Bryanites should unite with Repub- licans in displaying the National flag on Baturday. Let the banner wave from every building along the line of march. Letthe people of all parties show their enthusi- asm for it, their love for it and their loy- alty to all that it stands for. Whatsoever arouses patriotism among the people can- not fail to help the cause of National honor on eiection day. The supporters of McKinley and Ho- bart will not grudge anything that any man can gain by displaying the flag of his country. The extent'and degree of pub- lic devotion to the cause for which the Re- publican party stands in this contest will be made amply manifest by the great pro- cession of the day. There will be no Bryan hearts beneath the McKinley but- tons borne in the parade, nor will there e any Bryan voices to join in the greaf shout of welcome to Tom Reed in the evening. The people ot this country love it; they love its honor. If they had not loved it, If they had not held its honor in priceless esteem, they would not have sent out these great arm'es in the civil war, that its flag might not be stained. They loved it so that men died for it, with the light of glory in their faces, as the light of life went out. They loved its honor and they kept it whole. They loved its honor commer- cially and they will not have this Gov- ernment put in a position of repudi- ating one-half of its just obligations,— Bepjamin Harrison. RALLY, REPUBLICANS. The argument of the issues before the people is exhausted. The campaign of education is ciosed. All that is at stake in the contest has been made fully known to all who are sufficiently interested in public affairs to care what happens to the country. -The duty of Republicans during the closing days of the campaign is the simple one of rousing the energies of the people and making sure that every right thinking man will ke sufficiently true to his convictions to cast his vote on election day. Three issues confront us; to carry Cali- fornia for McKinley and Hobart, to elect Republican legislators who will conduct State affairs with economy and good judg- ment, and elect a Republican to the United States Senate, and to elect men to administer the affairs of the city who will secure to San Francisco those administra- tive reforms which are so necessary to our municipal progress and the welfare of citi- zens. To achieve these things the full Republican vote must be brought out for the whole ticket, National, State and mu- nicipal, and to that end the sctivities of every loyal Republican should be directed from this time untl the ballot-box is closed on election day. It is bardly necessary to urge upon any intelligent citizen the importance of put- ting California on the side of protection and sound money. The experiences of the last four years have made it clear that our industries are dependent upon wise legislation at Washington. Democratic legislation inthe past has been disastrous, and Biyanite legisiation in the future will beruinous. Hardly more is it necessary to point out the importance of electing to the Legislature men who will send to the United States Senate a Californian who truly represents the people and the inter- ests of the State. Equally clear is it to all men of good judgment that the municipal affuirs of San Francisco require a careful and able administration, and thatin this election we must run no risks in the elec- tion of Mayor and Supervisors. 3 From now on every earnest Republican should do all in his power to rally the members of the party and honest-money Democrats to the support of the Republ can electoral ticket, the Republican le lative ticket and the Republican munici- pal ticket.” To make success certain all along the line a vigorous and aggressive fight will be necessary. The combina- tions against good municipal government are strong. The fusion of Populists and Bryanites organized for the purpose of controlling the Legislature and electing Cator to the Senate is not to be despised. The united vote of all good citizens will be necessary to make the municipal gov- ernment and the Legislature as surely Republican as will be the electoral ticket. To that end, therefore, let every man work. GOVERNOR BUDD'S BLUNDER. In his recent speeches delivered in this City and elsewhere Governor Budd ap- pears to have added himsel! to the ligt of requires them to counsel electors to dis honesty and disloyalty. He advises—nay, even insists—that employes whose politi- cal convictions impel them to vote for Bryan should, nevertheless, take part in the great Republican parade of next Sat- urday for the sole purpose of deceiving their employers into a belief that they will vote for McKinley. This isa sort of«double dishonesty which it is most singular that Governor Budd fails to understand. It implies, in the first place, a want of manhood and integ- rity on the gt of employes, which it is imposgible to believe of any considerable number of workingmen. When the Amer- ican employe reaches that condition of wretched slavery our American Republic will be a failure indeed. Itis noteasy to believe that Governor Budd and those whom he imitates in this indictment of American manhood seriously believe what in the heat and despair of the cam- paign they have been tempted to say. ‘The Governor's suggestion of cowardice and svbserviency in American émployes is equaled 1f not exceeded by his insinuaticn of utter and most contemptible meanness on the part of American employers. He puts them in the attitude of watching the passing of a great political parade for the purpose of discovering which one of their trusted assistants they will discharge, be- cause, forsooth, in his political action he chooses to be a man. ln other words, the Governor would have those who empioy labor adopt the rule of preferring false and cowardly employes to honest and manly ones as their aids in the achievement of businese success. Nobody knows better than Governor those who believe that loyalty to Bryan I Budd that his words are a gross and out- rageous slander of California employers, nor does any one understand more per- fectly than he the entire absence of such unworthy motives in those who have sug- ‘gested and of those who will compose the great procession of Saturday next. We had hoped that senseless and slanderous utterances such as Governor Budd has emitted would be confined to that portion of the East through which men like Bryan, Altgeld and Tillman have been making their lurid way. There may be some excuse for such wild and foolish statements from the lips of men who dominated the Chicago convention, and whose only hope of political eminence lies in the success of its candidate. The Governor of California, however, ought not to lower himself to the level of these men, nor diminish the measure of that esteem with which he has been regarded, by indulging in suggestions which are as discreditable to himself as they would be -dishonorable to any®ne who might be in- dured by his advice to adopt them. When Governor Budd returns to the executive chair, from which he has been reluctantly drageed, he will dountless regret the in- dulgence in language which is as un- worthy to himself ae it is distant from the trath, PERSONAL.

STOCKTOY, Cal., Oct. 26, 1896. — A PLEA FOR SUFFRAGE. Woman's ability to do certain things has been questioned from time immemorial, and the propriety of her doing many things has been still more contested. Everything outside tne besten path which her grandmother trod is considered out of her sphere. Year by year she has broken down the barriers which closed to her some avenue of advancement, and at the present time she is preparing to take the next forward movement, a step which will meke her the political equal of man. ‘We have been told that we are not intelli- gent enough to participate in governmental affairs, but when we bring forward evidence that more women ure educated than men, that more women than men can meet the educa- tional requirements ot our constitution, then we are toid that book-learning does not count, that it is the “rubbing with the world” which man considers the greatest educational fac- tor, which we lack and which he strenuousiy tries to prevent us from get!ing. b+ sure, when the argument suits his purpose, man argues that the public school is the greutest factor for ecivilization in this country, but this must nct be turned to ac- count in behalf of woman, It will always be conceded that nothing so tends to advance civilization as th- education of & people, and if this can only come through ‘‘rubbing with the world” why not admit women to this greatschool of Jearning ? It will, however, be a difficult thing to con- vince most women that the ignorant men with whow they come in daily contact are beiter fitted for Citizenship by their ‘‘rubbing with the world” than are the women by the m-ntat training given in our public schools and the reading of the literature of the dey. Our boys and girls have exactly the same courses of study in our schools; they read science of gov- ernment and political economy together, and when the girls can look forward to taking a practical part in th government, then will their interest in these lines continue and ex- pand. ‘We will cheerfully admit that our brainsdo not equal man’s in size, and that the blood with which they are supplied is of poorer quality; but,after all, we seem to have been able to do our full share of the world’s work, and we feel that man can safely trust to us an equal voice in making the cond tions under which we must live. Weare inspired by the ame patriotism, love of duty, and sense of re- sponsibility that fills the breast of every man s he anticipates citizenship. We have entire aith in _the merits of our plea, substantiated as it is by the altogether satisiactory experi- ence where woman suffrage has been iu prac- tice for years, and we believe thai our prayer will be granted on the 3d of November, Cannot the men of California realize that we wome are thinking, feeling, sufferiug, aspir- ing human beings; that we are dist.nct per- soualities, having a deep resjonsibility as to the character of the individual we turn out to be; that we have the same ioyalty toour coun= try; that we have the same laws to obey; that we have the tame government to malntin by the same method of taXation as applies to men? We have a greater interest in the home life, which is acknowledged to be the found: tion of the nation; we have a keener interest in the children and all that affects them; we have greater personaljinterests to protect, and yet we alone are compelled to thiuk, feel, suffer and aspire to obey, to sustain o maintain in silence, deprived of all voice in regard to any of the conditions which affect us equally with and sometimes more than our brotuers, and which are aitered by legislation from which we are excluded. Shall this condition longer remain? Shall the wives and mothers, the faithful women of this country, continue to be the only aisfran- chised ciass, except the morally and mentally deficient? We simply 28k you to put yourseit in our {llce and then app! z the golden rule, and we know there will noi but will vote “Yes”” for amendment No. _ CARRIE A.

Dem.). ,The list of emineut Democrats who are at ©0dds with the Democratic party in its present attitude on the currency is an impressive one. At its head is Grover Cleveland, and following are John G. Carlisle, William L. Wilson, John M. Palmer, Simon B. Buckner, Edward J. Phelps, Thomas F. Bayard, David B. Hill, Roswell V. Flower, George H.Gray, Willlam F. Vilas, Donelson Caffery and Calvin S. Brice. Nearly all the abuve are in official positions now in the party. The list might be 7".“’ extended toineiude those not 1n public life. In our own State there would be found in it President Elioi of Harvard University, Dr. William Everett and a long array of men dis- tinguished for disinterested politics. No one will fail to remember in thisconnec:ion the lamented Governor Willlam E. Russell, the last public act of whose life was an attempt to save to his party the standard as regards the curreney which has been ruthlessly 8natched {rom its hands. THE FARMERS AND THE TARIFF Trenton Gazette. - It may be that a protective {ariff would not benefit the farmers of this country, but we have facing us the fact that since the McKin- ley tariff was destroyed the yearly sale of wheat in the United States has fallen off 150, 000, bushels. Corn, 430,000,000 bushels, Barley, 1,000,000 bushels. 4 Cattle, 215,000 head. Hay, 220,000 tons. Eggs, 1,400,000 dozens. Cheese, 2,400,000 pounds. Wool, 115,000,000 pounds.

PARAGRAPHS ABOUT PEOPLE The Czarina of Russia has 257 costumes in her wardrobe. The average sum received by Sir John Mil- 1ais for his 300 pictures was $5000.

The only survivor bore the name that my husband snd I are known by, and as the Marquardts were extensively adver- tised in Australian papers during our concert tour, this report has been connected with the Marquardts who are now enjoying perfect health in San Francisco.” The Musical Courfer has correspondents at Hoboken and Elmira and other towns, which do not figure on maps of the world. It never condescends, however, to print any San Francisco news. 1f it did it would haye learned long ere now that instead of playingsa celes- tial harn Mrs. Marquardt has been playing here for eeveral months past tothe great edification of San Franclsco concert-goers. Henceforth we shall take the obituary notices in the Musical Courier with several grains of salt. Considering how prominently Mrs. Marquardt has been before the San Francisco public during the last few months & musical journal that professes to give the mews ought to be Detter posted than to give her obituary. “Art islong but time is fleeting” receives a sad exemplification in the case of pao'r Smetana. His opers, “The Bartered Bride,” promises to be the rage in Europe this winter, end the Bohemians are so proud of tl?eir com- patriot that at Prague s medal has just been struck in nis’ honor, which is having a tre- mendous sale all over Bohemia. One side of the medal presents the portrait of Smetans, with the National Theater of Prague in the .| distance, and this legend, ““Art is victorious.” The reverse of the medal bears representations of the two fia nces of “The Bartered Bride” in their national Tzech costume. “Artis vietori- cus!” but poor Smetana died ten years ago in & lunatic asylum, broken-hearted because his music could obtain no recognition. “The Bartered Bride” has just been pro- duced with immense success at the Imperial Opera-house of Vienns, and the Princess de Metternich, who induced Napoleon III to give ‘‘Tannhauser” its first Parisian represen- tation, which ended in such dire fiasco, is using every effort to induce the direction of the Opera Comique to mount Smetana’s opera. It was the dream of the poor Bohemian com- poser during his lifetime to have his work pre- sented to the Parisian public, and in order to make it more acceptabie, he added some ballet music and divided it into three instead of two acis. It is this “Parisian’ version which is being played in most of the German theaters, so if Smetane’s dream came to nothing, his efforts to secure iis realization added to his posthumous glory. «The opera season is beginning,” says a writer in Le Figaro, “and theater-goers shounld be on the lookout for that odious being who is too oiten met witk: in audiences. He has the plece at bis fingers’ ends, and sings it with the artists, very often before the artists, for the benhomme has plenty of yanity, ana he wants to show his neighbors that the score has no secrets for him. He is generally & stout, rubi- cund gentleman, who adores sentimental things. He singsat you ‘Connais tu le pays?’ or ‘Laisse moi contempler ton visage,’ firsy humming it to himself, then mezza voce, then forte, and finally fortissimo. At the end of ten minutes you want to throw a seat at him. One evening, at the Opera Comique, a long- suffering spectator was sitting alongside one of these nuisa ces. ‘Richard (ceur-de-Lion,’ which is about 100 years old, was the opera, and the nuisance was humming all thg airs. The long-suffering spectstor saw a chance for revenging bimself on the old gentleman. Turning to him, with the most amiable air, he said: ‘I presume, sir, that you were present when the piece was first produced.’”” ‘An important document concerning J. 8. Bach has just been discovered. At Dornheim, a little village in Thuringia, the following in- seription in the register of the Protestant church of the village has been brought to light. “The 18th October, 1707, the ~Very Honorable Sleur Johann Se- bastien Bach, the celebrated organist of Saint Biaise at Mulhouse, legitimate son, surviving his father, the late Very Honorable Sieur Ambroise Bach, celebrated organist of the town of Eisenach, and the virtuous demoi-elle, . Barbe Bach, last legitimate daughter surviving her father, late the Very Honorable Sieur Johann Michel Bach, cele-{ brated organist of Johven, have been married here, 1n this temple of God, with the permis- sion of our nob.e lord, after the publication of the banns at Arnstadt.” The church of the village was according to this document under the patronage of the lord of the viliage and his consent was necessary before a marriage could take place there. “Since My Little Baby Brother Came to Stay” is one of the hits of the new edition of “The Babes in the Wood” at the Tivoli. Itis cleverly sung by Eivira Crox Seabrook. The composer, Miss Gertrude R. Spellan, isa San Franeisco young lady who has considerable talent for writing music. She left ner song at the Tivoli without exercising any influence in its behall. The manuscript was tried “over, and was found to be.so taking that it was de- cided at once to incorporate it into the “The Babes in the Wood.” William H. Keith, our Califorhia barytone, now in Bondon, has been winniug new laurels. He sang by special appointment before Wolff at Berlin, the great concert impresario, man- ager of such artists as Sarasate, Sembrich and Josef Hoffmann. “Keith has one of the love- liest voices I have ever heara,” Wolff writes a i fellow-impresario, ‘“we have nothing like it in Germany, and his training is of the best. He is a most excellent artist.” Keith will sing in Berlin during the coming season. The Grand Ducal Theater of Weimar has just adopted an orchestral reform devised by Rich- ard Wagrer. The floor of the orchestra has been lowered by over a yard for the wind in- struments and by over half a yard for the strings. The represeniation which was to in- augurate this reform was unfortunate, how- ever, First “The Fiying Dutchman” was an- nounced, then the afliche was changed to “Carmen” and the theafer was crowded, but several artists disappointed at the last mo- ment and the mouey had to be given back. Poor Levi, the celebrated Wagnerian chef d’orchestra, although not positively insane, as he has often been reported to be, has been forced through ill health to tender his final resignation from the Royat Opera of Munich. The new conductors appointed in his place are Erdmanrisdoerfer and Ricnard Sirauss. The latter musician is still young, and has written & number of remarkable works, Mile. Lola Beth, who made mi-fiasco in New York with the Metropolitan Opera Com- with the Imperial Opera-house of Vienna for five years, beginning October, 1897. The year, till the contract begins, is to'be filled in with foreizn engagements, many of which are already made. Beth is a great favorite, both in London and Beriin, Three Parisian theaters have been imploring Charles Lecoq to grant them permission to revive ‘La Fille Mme. Angot.” After taking some weeks to consider which would do the thing most handsom.ely, the maestro has given permission to Les Bouffes to revive the work. Mme. Gaveaux-Savatier, a concert singer, famous during the early years of the second empire for her beauty and her talent, has just ¢ied in Paris. Although frequently im- plored to go on the stage, she always refused o appear in anything put concert. Mme.
