FOLTZ, Eastern Mhnager. THE CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL. ‘Welcome, mining men. Gold has a right to talk. The convention will be a big thing. You can tell the McKinley man in these days by his new hat. Make your home a market for California industries and you witl profit by it. The sense of returning prosperity brings a smile even to the face of the Bryanite. What the miners will say in convention will be listened to by capitalists all round the world. The world wants cold more than ever before, and California is certainly the best place to look for it. Being mentioned for a place in the Cab- inet may be pretty good taffy, but it falls a long way short of the pudding. The mining industry built up the State, and the whole State shouid now help in building up the mining industry. Confidence brings business and business begets confidence, and all things are work- ing together for the general good. Every morning brings news of reviving industry and every mill that starts up opens up new opportunities to labor. ‘With the return of employment for in- dustrious men the demagogues will lose their old job and have to hunt for better ‘work. Mr. McKinley never knew before how many friends he had nor how many are wiling to help him bear the burdens of cflice. We may count much on the coming of outside capital to Cal.fornia, but the sures: way to prosperity is to count on our own energies. Among the American industries to be promoted by Republican legislation hy- draniic mining should take a front rank and be attended to early. The free silverites are now talking of getting rid of Aitgeld, Tillman and Debs, so that they will not have tomakeanother fight with such hoodoos in the van. There seems to be a general illumination all round in these cays, and the probabil- ity is tiat the lone-desired lighting of the park at night will soon be accomplished. The election of McKinley has roused the hoves of European bimetallists, and the outlook for an international agreemen t for the free coinage of silver is decidedly encouraging. The silver Republicans in the Senate can surely be counged on to support s pro- tective tariff. They are not likely to vote against their principles to gratifly a Dem- ocratic spite. The fellows who vredicted the election of McKinley would be foliowed by dis- aster were =0 completely snowed under that there is not a specimen of them in sight anywnere. The Democrats declare they were beaten because of coercion, and the Popnlists attribute the defeat to the fact that Bryan ran as a Democrat and the people would not trust him under that name. With the American people united for protection and European nations ready to arrange for international bimetallism, it looks as if the McKinley aaministration would bave plain sailing before it. Before many years sre over competing railroads will have brought the Scuthern Pacific 1o the level of any cther business enterprise, and there wiil be no more monopoly to complain of or kick at. There is haraly a Republican statesman in the Nation who has not received the compliment of a mention for a piace in the Cabinet, and even some sound-money Democrats are being tickled in the same way. PSR Ry i The rain has come in time to rejoice tue farmer, as the victory for protection re- joices the manuiacturer, and the pros: vects are that our farme and factories will make a rich marke: for one another next year. As the Bryanites continue to issue their proclamations of war, it is clear they were so completely knocked out by the concus- sion on election day they do mnot know what hit them nor on which side of the ropes they are. . 4 The songs that Yvette Gumilbert sang with such success in New York, Boston and Chicdgo have heen interdicted by the Paris police, and it is clear t ey must be more Puritanical over there or else they understand French better. It is probable that one of the first sec- tions of the State to profit by the new activity will be the region around Hum- boldt Bay. That country hias long needed reilway communication with the metrop- olis and will almost certainly get it now. A i Xocf gardens for the rich have proven 8o successful in New York the city gov- ernment has decided to build similar gar- dens over the docks along the water front for the benefit of the poor, and while the coolness of our summer climate renders such gardens unnecessary here it might be worth while for our City government 1o watch the New York experiment and see if some parts of it at least could not be imitated with advantage in any future dock-building along the bay, . OALIFORNIA MINERS. The members of the California Miners’ Association, who meet in convention to- day, will find a cordial welcome to San Francisco. The people of this City are aware how much this State owes to the mining industry, and how closely the welfare of mining aifects the welfare of the City and of the State at large. In ad- dition to this fact, which would lead lhgm to welcome the miners from a selfish in- terest, there is the further sentiment of admiration for mining men which is in- herent in California that would incline them to give a hearty support to the miners, even their industry were less great than it is and even if the interests of the State were less concerned in it, The convention which assembles to-day will probably be the most notable gather- ing of mining men that has been seen for many a year. The former meetings of the association bave been held under adverse conditions and with but gloomy prospects before them. This time the assembly finds itself surrounded by all the influ- ences of a dawning era of prosperity and looks forward to prospects as bright as any which shine along the future of the American people. The miners will feel the stimulus of the environment and there can be little doubt that their actions will be made more resolute and more far- reaehing by the confidence that after iong vears ol depression prosperity for them as well as for their neighbors is at hand. All things considered, the mining in- dustries of the State have a better outlook than any other industry. The victory at the polls was a victory for gold as well as for protection. The demand for gold will certainly not fall off as a result of McKin- ley's victory. Oa the contrary, the ex- pansion of trade and the revival cf indus- try on the gold basis will tend to increase the demiand for that metal and aid to the profits of those that mine it. This will turn the attencion of capitalists in the great centers of wealth to gold-mining countries with a renewed interest ana among those countries the gold-bearing districts of California most certainly will not be overlooked. It cannot be questioned that provisions might be made for carrying on hydraulic mining without injury to the vaileys and the rivers. Modern engineering is ver- ainly equal to such a task without ex- pending more money and time than would be profitable. Our mountains are still rich with golden ore, and since it would benefit the whole Union to have the gold taken from them and pat into the channels of trade, it is no more than fair that the whole people through the General Government should assist in de- .raying the cost. However these things may be, the miners will find a warm and hearty recep- tion in San Francisco. Tney come to us as representatives of that great industry which made the State famous and laid the foundation of its present prosperity. The Cahifornia miner has long been the typical citizen of the State. Even to this day the East regards us as a mining State more than anything else. Our own peo- pleto a large extent share this senti- ment. The miner is welcome in every nome, and the sympathies of all the people are with bim in his labors and in his hopes. THE WAIL OF THE VANQUISHED. Following the example of Bryan the lesser leaaers of the late iusion have issued proclamations to their supporters exhorting them to have courage and ex- plaining to them the'sad acciden:s which in their judgment led to the overwheiming defeat at the polls. A. J. Warner, president of tbe Bi- metallic Union, gives such cheer as he can in these words: “The victory of gold was a victory of trusts and syndicated wealth vrought about by corruption and coercion and not a victory by the people for the people, and it cannot last.” He claims further that the policy of the suc- cessful party will subject the United States absolutely to British domination and sees a proof of this in the fact that the British press rejoices in the election of McKinley. To despairing and demoralized Democ- racy that address mizht have brought some comfort had not Chairman Buuer of tie Popuiist National Committee taken it into his head to issue an address to his followers on the selfsame day. Senator Butler is as sanguine as Mr. Warner that victory will yet be gained by the fusion party, but he does not attribute the recent defeat to the same causes. In his address there is nothing about coercion. He sees a sufficient cause “for the overthrow of Bryun in another quarter altogether. Chairman Butlersay : “‘Had 1t not been for the prejudice against the Democratic name as w llasa want of counfidence in Democratic promises, for which it must be admitted past experience furnishes ample ground, the majority of the voters of the country would have cast their votes ior reform.” It is very clear that Senator Butler ex- pects the next campaign to be conducted by those whom he is pleased to call *‘re- formers’’ under the Populist standard and with the Populist name, as well as on the Populist platform. Democrats, therefore, who propose to follow Bryan next time must give up their name as well as their principles and shout the mighty names of Jefferson and Jackson no more. The quarrel 1s none of ours and we are able to consider it impartially. Under such consideration it 1s clear that Senator Batler is more nearly right than Mr. War- ner. There was no corruption nor coer- cion at the polls, but there was a whole- some and widespread distrust of Democ- racy. Whether that distrust can be re- moved from the public mind by a change oi name remains to be seen. When last heard from States like Colorado, Kensas and South Carolina, where Populism has been tried, were of opinion that the new party was a shade worse than the old. PROSPERITY FOR HUMBOLDT. One of the counties of the State likely to receive on early benefit from the revi- val of prosperity is Humboldt. The rich region within thecounty and immediately surrounding it has never had those facili- ties of transportation which are necessary for the development of its resources and the progressive weliare of its people. These facilities are now almost sure to be attained and the capitalists of San Fran cisco should take the leaa in providing toem. Few portions of the world are so rich in natural resources as 1s Humboldt County. It opens to the ocean a spacious bay, is rich In fertile soil fit for almost any kind of rural industry from bhay raising to fruit growing, and possesses immense wealth in the great forests that now cov-r almost the whole territory. With proper facilities for the export ot goods through railway connection with the rest of the State, the advance in Humboldt would not fail to be remarkable in every respect. ‘We have had booms in Southern Cali- fornia and around Puget Sound and as a consequence those sections of the country have been fairly weil developed, but the vast region lying between this City and Oregon has remained almost unnoticed by capital, and to a large extent over- looked by enterprise. The men who have settled 1n that region have been energetic, industriousand progressive, but'they have lacked the means of overcoming the ob- stacles in the way of great railroad build- ing. and their rich county remains to this day slmost shut off from the rest of the world. For some years past projects for railway building through Humbold: and the re- gion around it have been discussed and ways and means for carrying them out de- vised. Ifit had not been for the panic of 1893 and tne long depression which fol- lowed it is safe to say that one of these projects would have been realized before this. The awakening of industry which has so promptly followed the election of McKinley will, of course, revive these plans for the opening up of the rich north and the development of Humboldt. Be- fore the coming Winter is over some plans may be arranged for the immediate be- ginning of the work, and in a compara- tively short time this long secluded region may be a< open to enterprise and develop- ment as is the country around Los Ange- les and Puget Souna. INTERNATIONAL BIMETALLISM. According to all reports from Europe the chances for obtaining an international acreement for the free coinage of siiver are decidedly good. The election of Mc- Kinley bas awakened a new confidence in the bimetallists of all European countries, and as a resuit a strong sentiment 1s being worked up in favor of co-operation among the great powers to bring about a larger nse of silver in the settlement of inter- national commerce. Genuine bimetallists never favored the election of Mr. Bryan, because they knew that his success would put an end to all Lope of internauional bimetailism. The free coinage of silver by this country alone would have led to the export of gold to Europe, and in consequence those nations would have had all the gold they required for their uses and there would have been no reason why they should show any favor to silver. In the United States, on the other hand, we having nothing but silver would have been in no position to make terms with the gold-using nations. The first efforis of the McKinley ad- ministration will nataraliy be a revision of the tariff in accordance with the princi- ples of protection. We must provide an adequate revenue for the Government and make the American market secure to the American producer, so as to provide abundant employment at good wages for American labor before anything else. That work, however, will hardly require much time. The House will be over- whelmingly in favor of protection, and there is an assurance that the next Senate wili also have a working majority in favor of the same principle. This will make tariff revision a comparatively easy task, and the energies of the admistration can be directed toward carrying qut :he pledge of the party platform to promote the much-desired international agreement for the free coinage of silver. Major McKinley is known to be a genu- ine bimetallist. The monetary plank in the platform was in 1ts essence an epitome of his sentiments expressed by his speeches and his actions while a member of Congress. He will therefore be as Presi dent in complete.sympathy with the plat- form. The work of bringing about an in- ternational agreement in accordance with the parly pledge wiil not be with him s mere perfunciory observance. He can be counted on to enter upon that task with all the ardor, energy and sagacity of his nature, and he will have the hearty sup- port of a great majority of Republicans in buth houses of Congress and throughout the country. 1t would seem, moreover, that since the bimetallic movement has revived in Europe the President may have com- paratively plain sailing before him in the accomplishment of international agree- ment. There will, of course, be obstacles in the wasy. There are many gold stand- ard men in this country who will combat his efforts by every means in their power, and there 1s a s'rong conservatim in Europe which the Governmenis of those countries will hesitate to antagonize. Nevertheless the outlook is clear!y prom- ising. Never has the chance of bringing about international bimetallism been so good and never has there been a Pre-i- dent of the United States better fitted both by training and sentiment and better sup- ported both by Congress and by the people to underiake the task of leading the nationsin the way of restoring silver to its full use as a monetary metal, REVIVING INDUSTRY. According to dispatches from New York nearly 200,000 §pen hitherto unemployed have already been set to work as a resuit of the election of McKinley and ‘the tri- umphb of protection and sound money. Reports of opening mills and expanding enterprises come from every section of the Union, and a thousand evidences attest that the long depression hasended at last, and a new era of prosperity begun. From Cincinnati it is reported that four great industrial establishments which ave been working with reduced forces for a long time have already increased the number of their men and are now run- ning to the full limit. In Cleveland two great machine companies have begun this week by employing 150 aaditional men. In Chattanooga orders bave been received by the rolling-mills which have led to em- ployment of upward of 200 men during the week. Kansas City reports the establishment of a manufactory which begins work with 100 men from the start. Elizabeth, N.J., announces that the National Cordage Company, whose plant was burned some time ago, has decided to rebuild it and will give employment to 2000 men. From Denver comes the news that the iron companies and mills have started work on the constraction of stcel rails, and will at once engage about 1500 men. Victor, Colo., reports the beginning of a new elec- tricline, thirty-one miles in length, which of course will afford work to many. To- ledo reports the reopening of a rolling- mill and the employment of 200 men. From Terre Haute the news comes that the rolling-mills began yesterday to em- ploy 400 additional men, and that the Standard Wheel Company would also add to their force. Texarkana announces that the Central Coal and Coke Company has issued orders to start up all the mills De- cember J, and that several hundred men have been put to work on the Kansas City and Gulf Railroad. From Utica, N. Y., comes the further news that the West Shore Railroad shops at Frankfort have started up running on full time and will give employment to 800 men. ' These instances by no means-adequately represent the full extent of the revival of industry. Taken as they are, however, from all sections of the country, the east and west, north and south, they serve to show how widespread is the feeling of confidence in the coming of better times. Capital has now an assurance of profit, and as a consequence it can once more give employment to the workingmen of the country. Labor’s opportunity has come at last. The job will soon be hunting the man instead of the man hunting the job. INDECENT JOURNALISM. We believe, and make the statement after long and earnest effort of the memory, that the New York Journal is positively the worst newspaper we can reesll. Under the mask of procuring the news it has inaugurated the practice of filling the columns of its daily issue with the cheapest, shallowest sensation, while its Sunday Issue is'even of a lower order then the Police Gazette or Standard. Its arti- clesare a mere cloak for all that is morbid and unhealthy, its illustrations (done with a certain French chic and cleverness that mukes them all the more dangerous) are & mere ex- cuse for indecency. AS examples of the former run over the scare heads of articles taken atrandom from one of the Journal’s iecent Sunday issues: :‘For Gore"”; “Shocked by Girls Who Wear Tights and Dance for Charity'’; ““Camille D'Ar- ville Refuses to Appear as Mother Eve”; “Known in Many Clubs, Now. in a Cell”; ‘James Waterbury, Millionaire and Most Fash- fonablg Man in New York, Now a Poor Clerk in a Rope Walk”; ““Alan Dale on Actors Who Travel on Their Shape”; “A Soclety Girlin Trousers”; “Razor Strops of Human Skin,” All these with appropriate illustrations—Dixey’s legs, Keleey’s trousers, ete. Hardly any com- ment is necessary. The public msking for fruth and news is answered by a sketeh of Mr. Dixey’s legs and pictures of undressed and half-dressed women. One of the * ‘festures” of the Journal, which the editor hasadvertised with & sound of trumpets, is Stephen Crane’s ~*The Tenderloin asIt Is.” It is immaterial who wrote the article, Stephen Crane’s name notwithstanding, it is the veriest filth. We have yet to see even the Police Gazette de- scend to such depths. The article on Mr. Watcrbury can move the intelligent reader only to a sense of indigna- tion against the cowardly and hypoeritical Attack upon the gentleman of whom it treats. Itis striking & man when he is down, it is making capital out of his misfortunes, under the contemptible guise of praising “American 8rit,” and this unspeakable sheet with its morbid sensations, its gross exaggerations, its absurd and pelpable lies, its rank obscenity, is sown broadcast in the streets of New York, finding its way inio the school and the home to be read by young boys and little girls. Its hypocrisy is, perhaps, its worst crime, for the New York Journal is not frankly, honestly in. decent, as are the French papers it attempts to imitate, but cloaks its nastiness under the sembiance of worth and enterprise. small wonder that Lile has begun its vigorous campaign against the “Mission of the Daily.” The good wishes of every honest Jjournalist is with thatadmirable little weekly. it is precisely such dirt as is found in the Journal that has brought the American press into such i1l odor. The Western proto'ype of the New York Journalis the San Francisco Examiner, owned by the same man and conducted on the same iines. The following communication, which we have received from & well-known attorney of this City who participated in the Republi- can parade of last Saturday, is seli-explanative: Editor of The Wave: { have been a subscriber to (he San Francisco Examiner for several years I have stopped that paper forever, and numerous iriends heve pusued the same course iu conuse- quence of the Examiner's aititude during this campaign. I have not seen this fact mentioned in the daily papers, hence write you concerning it. Upon the day of the Republican purace (iast Satur- day) there stood in front of the Examiner’s office what appeaced to oe a party of hired hoodlums, all wearing Bryan badges and holding up large siiver ollars similar to those with which the ¥.xaminer office was decorazed. I hese hired ruflians made it tLelr business to give voice to hoots and derlsive shou:sat the proc-ssion as it passed, aud 10 hiss and insult the participa ts ia the parade. They used every means within the power of such & mongrei brood to disturb the procession and its partici- pants. Iwitnessed this proceeding with & good deal of indignation and read subsequently the Examiner's account of the paraie and the way it was received alog :he line of march. I make free 10 say that outside of the hired men who s.0od In front of the Examiner's office that paper’s sccount of the reception of the purade along the tline of march was an Infamous falsehood. . May I inquire of you how it is that the Examiner finds it necessary to cater only to the low element of society, and never to decency? The writer of this lettem only expresses what we have heard from many other -ources. The trouble with what our correspondent is pleased to call the respectable or deeent ele- ment of society is that they do not readily re- sent a wrong or injustice heaped upon them by a daily paper. Itis diffcrent with the mob. Let the Examiner contain the slightest refer- ence antagonistic to any of the indecent ele- ments of society, and at once the business office is alarmed by & number of orders to stop tue Examiner. This breeds a wholesome fear of this ciass of subscriber. What 18 known as the respectabie element of society seldom re- sorts 10 this method of showing its. disappro- bation, and as thatend of society'does not in- terfere with the business office or create any alarm therein it is not cousidered as being of enough consequence to please. It is apparent the Exsminer has suffered & number of “stops” within the past week, for within a day its tone has been considerably moaified. If the respectable e'ement will insist on taking & paper which continues to be an gnemy to respectability, then it clearly demonstrates that iis lack of respectability does mot cost anything.—The Wave. s DOWNFALL OF UEM.GOGUES This should not be a season for “crowing” over the misgulded men who were misied into following Bryan with houest zeal aud fervor, but it is a season for “crowing™ over the Till- mans, the Budas, the Examiners, the Alt- ge'ds and the sinister forces that were moved by disloyslty, governed by hatred and actu- ated by mean instincts and ignobie purpose. 0 explanation, no sophistries nor arguments can palliate or excuse the intemperate utter- ances of our miserable chief magistrate, who shocked decency and violated bonor by the incendiary, miserable and outrageous utter- ances to which he gave voice upon the stump. He seemed to forget that he was Governor, and remembered only tbat he was Budd. No Ppiea of party fervor can excuse the style and character of the campaign conducted by the Examiner. It was mean, devilish and de- praved. It lied openly and deliberately. It distorted the truth out of all semblance of facts and piled abuse upon the heads of honest men, whose sole offending consisted of their Republicanism. Itattempted to breed a spirit of hatred In the mind of iabor against its em- ployers. It appealed to every prejudice and ciass Latred, and would have stopped at noth- ing, no matter how disreputable, that promised to secure a vote for the infamous cause which it attempted to sustain. The hurt that comes to 8 good American cilizen, the thing that wounds, is the thought that & great National party could deem it ex- pedient to adopt such a platiorm as that sanc- tioned by Democracy and the further thought that Bryan was even a serious possibility. Toere’s where the hurt lies, that he was even a possibility.—The Wave. PARAGRAPnS - BOUT PEOPLE. David Coulter, a Kansas prisoner charged with murder, has invented a corn-husking ma- chine.

To the Editor of the San Franeisco Call—SIR: No man can be & genuine Populist who is not somewhat of a phi:osopher. He has read his- tory. It teacheshim patience. Hesoonlearns that the race makes progressslowly. Inthe science of government this is most notably true. All nations teach this lesson. Ourown country is not an exception. Politics would seem to be a game of blind-mau’s-buff. Voters rush from one side to the other trying to catch the right man who can give them what his party promises. For illustration go back twenty years. At the close of Grant's administration the popuiar vote elected Tilden by more than & quarter of a million votes. Kour years later Garfield was elected by only 7018 votes. Four years later, in 1884, Cleveland was elected by more then 62,000 votes, defeating Blaine, the idol of his party. But in four yearsthe people rejected Cleveland by more than 98,000 votes and went back to the Repubiican party under Harrison. Four years later, in 1892, they gave Cleveland 382,956 more votes than Harrison and went back to the Demoeracy ; and now, in 1896, they go back to the Republican party, electing McKinley by about & million votes more than they gave the Democrat!c candidate. Thus the people go zigzag {rom one ynru‘ to the other pluying their foolish game of blind- man’s-buff and call it politi 1 Thus it appears on the sur but what is beneath it? 1s there no real progress? To the superficial mind the people may indeed seem tobe ail blinded and merely playing at blind- ff. But Populists look beneath the Four years ago, when the people re- ected Harrison and the M:Kmtc‘i‘)larifl and lindly turned to Cleveland and Democracy for relief. the People’s party offered them a radical change in the l)olloy of the G:Vern- ment.but only 1,122, votersout of 12,154,- 537 accepted it. But sogreat was the chauge wrought by the cofitinuous «fforts of the Peo- ple’s party from 1392 to 1896 that the old his- toric Demoecratic party, which polled 5,556, 3833 votes for Cleveland, and rejected the offer ot the People’s party by that number of votés, actuelly took up the radica! policy of the Peo- ple’sparty and went before the couutry on th new issues and were joined by the Popu- lists and a large number of free-siiver R pub- licans, polling fearly one-half of the entire voteof the country, in a large portion of it carrying great States by large majorities in favor of this radical change in government policy. Whatever may be said or thought with re- gard. to the People’s party there can be but fione conclusion as to its influence on the polit- ical history of this country—it has already se- cured the adoption of an !mrnrum part of its grflnclplel by nearly half of toe voters and it s come to Stay as a political factor in Ameri. can politics under such name and organization as the future muy uufoid. most strenuous opponents will concede the fact that no politi- cal party in the couutry has grown to such formidable proportions in so short a time, sua his wish is father to his tifought who for a moment thinks that the po.icy for which the People’s party stands hasmet astaggering blow in the recent eleciion. A political revolution has been inaugurated with such Impressive earnestness thatit has almost triumphed at the oils, and heis ill instructed in the his- tory of nations who dues not know that revo- lutions of this nature never go backward. There is but one thing that can check the progress of the policy inaugarated by the Peo- ple’s party, and that is the success of the Re- publican party in restoring prosperity to the country under McKinley’s adminisiration. A majority of the peopie have accepted the promises made by the orators and newspapers of the Republican party and have returned the party to power under such favorable con- ditions that it can Problbly do all that has been promised; but if (he people whose votes bave placed it in power shali meet with disap- pointment it will be a sorry day for the coun- ry and the Republican party. As a Populist esire to go on record here in {avor of giving the new administration the fuilest possible opportu ity to earry out its po.icy unob- structed by a slugle Populist or Democraiic yote in either brauch of Congress, that it may have no excuse for a failure to redeem iis promises to the country. At the same time Iam free to confess that I do not beieve it possible, i00King over the sit- uation of the country from a Popu.ist point of view, for the Repubiican party 1o meet its en- gugements with the people who have placed it in power, for the simple reason that its poticy wi L not permit it to adopt such measures us will secure the prosperity it has promised. It is Dot necessary to charge bad faith tothe leaders of the pariy. and Ido not, but its pol- iey wili render its efforts futile to accomplish the task it has undertaken to periorm. In- deed, I look for & compiete revolution in pub- lic sentiment within two years, and the elec- tion of a Congress which will demand the enforcement oi the poliey announced a defended by the reform forces which met with temporary defeat under the gallant leadershi of Brvan in the political contest just c).,smf At this time it is not necessary, and might seem inappropriate. to enter upon a statement of the reasons which influence my judgment in reaching this couclusion. JOSEPH ASBURY JOHNSON. San Francisco, November 7, 1896. e THE CUBAN SITUATION. Spanish Atrocities in Cuba Kender Amer- ican Interferemce Necessary. November 6, 1896. Editor of the Call, San Francisco, Cal.—DEAR SIR: In a letterfrom a Cuban friend, one of the most disting uished scholars of that island, is expressed a se ntiment from which there Is no doubt as to which side, in the present warin Cuba, the cultivated and intelligent classes are on. The following is & translation from his 1 ter, which may beof interest to your readers: “I do hope that it wiil not be long before a stop is put to so much bloodshed, to 0 many iniqui- ties committed daily by the Spaniards. The civilized world knows that the Cubans kill no prisoner, that ihey care for the wounded and rotect the peaceful. The struggle will go on etween the representatives of the sixteenth century and us who live at the enda of the nineteenth. If need be, evervthing will re- main sicut tabulam rasam (sic) until the Nu- tion of Washington and Lincoln stretch out to us her powerful and dreaded hand, putting an end to so m‘n{ murders, so many horrors, aid- ing us to fulfill,on our side, the'saving precept, America for the Americans.” Very truly yours, Davip 8. JORDAN. REGENTS AGAIN VEXED, The Attorney - General Against the Use Folsom Granite, Rules of Berkeley's Instituion Is Gladdened by the G nerosity of Mrs. Hearst. The regents of the university are having no -and of trouble with the affiliated col- le es building, The contracts were all dply awarded and signed. The Governor himself agreed that Foisom granite oould b'_ used and Mayor 8Sutro, in his gener- o_mly. gave the land and two extensions of time for beginning work. When ali the differences were seemingly adjusted on lines that indicated immediate and active work the Attorney-General alarmed all the interested parties by a raling that Folsom granite could not be used. To-day the regents will meet to consider the new complieation. It is possible that Judge Wallace, Arthur Rodgers and Major Mhoon may devise some plan of aclion to save the site and prevent the State appropriation from reverting ‘back to the treasury. The expression of opin- lon among regents yesterday was to the effect that operations wonld not be sus- pended by reason of the Attorney-Gen- hernt T8, Rel tein and . eigstein and Architect Maybeck expected to start for the East yesterday evening, but the new com plica- tion requires the regent’s presence in the City for a few days, Mr, Reinstein will not extend hhnjourny beyand the conti- nent, but Mr. Maybeck will go abroad and confer with architects of world-wide fame. Mrs. Hearst's ’cn TOUS letter requesting the pr.vilege of meeting the cost of the international competition of architects for the new plan of extendiag the uni- versity buildings at Berkeley, places the Tegents on velvat in this enterprise. She bas plainly indicated that the competition | ‘shall not be hindered for lack of money. In a word the regents are told to go abead and obtain by competition—by the offer of liberal prizes to the great si architects of the world—the plan:s:‘or ; cen:ury of uniyersity exiension. e has also sj nified nni'yim'enu n to expend $500,000 fl buildings at Berkeley. Mrs, Hearst left the City for the East last week. N e ———— CANDIDATES’ «XPENSES. Statements Filed W th the County Cierk Indicate Excerd ngly Cheap Campaigns. Candidates for office at the late election bave begun to file their statements of ex- penses incurred during the campaign. It is known that the rains that occurred just prior to election day caused considerable additional outlay on the part of many of the nominees because their cards and ban- ners were disfigured by the wet, yet among the statements thus far submitted to County Clerk Curry no mention of that fact has been made. Inasmuch as the damage done by the rain may be classed asan act of Providence, candidates prc ably feel that they are justified in deduc ing that extra expense from the total ut. 8 Samunel Braunhart, who was elected State Senat it for the Seventeenth Senato- rial District, makes affidavit that no one else contributed to his campaign fund and that he expenued ounly $116 50 in securing his election. o Fleet F. Strother, who had an ambition to be Auditor, conlesses to puttine out $395 50, of which $200 went to lhe’ Demo- cratic party and $120 fo the People’s party. Henry Hupperi, who aspirea to rep- resent the First Ward in the Board of Superyisors, evidently.did not value that honor above 1ts worth, for he places his expenses at $100 50. Kuorney ?l A. Spinetti looked with some desire on a seat with the Police Judges of the City, and in order to a vance his chances paid out $320, appor- tioned as follows: Democratic Committee, $200; People’s party, $80; J. H. Barry for printing, $40. The vouchers, Mr. Spinetti & says, are lost. & It is a notable fact that none of the ca didates, whether defeated or successiul, bave confessed to purchasing .so much &3 one glass of beer, ginger pop or soda water in order to help themselves into office. This is remarkable, considering the amount of potables that couli be ob- tained free of cost by voters just prior o the 3d inst. Itis possible that thosé who purchased and distributed the aforesaid drinkables are among the number yet to file their statements of expendiiures. 2 TR N CLASSES FOR ALL.
