Golden oratory flows freely. i ety Everybody talks of golden prospects now. Expansion is good as a rule, but let us hope Grover will not try it on the coming message. Prosperity shines all over the State and prostrate industries are picking them- selves up. ————— 8t. Louis is just now the proudest city in the Union. She is exulting in her first borse show. * There is a chance for the Dingley bill to go through this winter. The Senate has seen a new light. The Bryanite leaders are silent, but the prophets have resumed business by pre- dicting what will happen in 1900. The country voted for prosperity and is reaping the reward much sooner than even the most sanguine expected. You do not have to go East to find signs of reviving industry. There are plenty of them rignt here 1n San Francisco. The mining industry is big enough to have a representative in the Cabinet, and Congress ought to provide for one. ‘We bave no Half-million Club to lead us on just now, but all the same we will be able to claim that figure in a few years. Not all the States voted for McKinley, but all are sending in reports of expand- ing industries as a result of his election. 1i Cleveland does not say something about the Cuban question in his message we shall know he is the same old Grover. It will not be charity but business that will provide for the poor this winter, and work and wages will be better than free soup. Send California novelties and dainties to your Eastern friends during the holidays and help to advertise the products of the State. From the present outlook for the min- ing industry it would seem the days of old. the days of gold, are about to return again. Business cannot revive too quickly nor spread itself too fast. Winter 1s coming and there are lots of good workingmen out of employment. The interests of labor and capital are the same, and the men who marched'together and voted together are now reaping the benefits togethe: The Valley road leads the way in com- petition and other roads will follow if the people are only prompt in sapporting en- terprise and providing rights of way. The gold-standard free-traders who are asserting that the victory was not for pro- tection afford another illustration of how easily some men can fcol themselves. The proposed ordinances providing for open food inspection staticns will be generally approved by the people. We all wish pure food as well as plenty of it. Chicago has a company that promises her 90-cent gas, and yet she seems to re- gard the promise itself as the only cheap gas she wants and won’t take steck in it. Tkere should be a good exhibit of Cali- THE MINERY' CONVENTION. One of the most important conventions assembled in the State for a long time is that of the gold miners of California, now being held in Odd Fellows' Hall, and of whose proceedings a full account is given in another part of this paper. This original industry, gold mining, which was the cause of the settlement of this State 1 1849 by the Americans in large numbers, has been for a time aimost supplanted by the more extensive indus- tries of fruit-growing, wool-growing and wheat and cattle raising. Itis now, how- ever, experiencing a rebirth, and within a very short time promises to be more profit- able and to yield much larger guantities of the precious metal than ever before. In the pioneer days and up to the time of the comparative decadence of the mining industry all the work done was on the surface ana in the beds of streams with sluiceboxes, rock- ers and pans in the primitive fashion. In fact considerable mining is yet being done in that way on the old grounds by the poorer class of workers, who are satis- fied with earnings of a dollar or two a day, coupled with independence and hope. Next came the era of hydraulic mining, which was being prosecuted on a large scale, when it was practically stopped owing to the opposition of farmers along the banks of the streams into which the gravel and earth were washed. Quartz miniug received some attention a little more than a decade ago and has increased with rapid strides, with the prospect that within the next year or two there will be large accessions of American and foreign capital to work the quartz mines. The mission of the Miners’ Association is to settle the differences between the hydraulic miner and the farmer, to put an end to the vexatious and expensive litigation by which the validity of min- eral land titles is determined and toin- stitute several reforms for the welfare of the industry. The association is to be congratulated on the success of its efforts in harmonizing the divergent interests of the farmer and the hydraulic miner, which the reports read yesterday seem to indicate is in a fair way of being accomplished. One ele- ment in its favor is the fact that the miners have always been law-abiding, vatient and forpearing under the most ir- ritating conditions. The temper of the present convention is in line with this sentiment. Indeed, it one were to judge of the convention by the high standing and integrity of its membership the sentiment could hardly be otherwise. Some of the foremost men in the State are among its delegates, giv- ing the benefit of their counsel and experi- ence to the younger workers in the com- mon cause. The men who delve into the earth with vick and shovel have learned the value of union. They have the best wishes of the whole people of the State in their efforts toward the advancement of the industry to which they have devoted their lives, and whose prospects are now brightening the horizon of the future not only for themselves but for all California. DEMOCRATIC DEMAGOGUES. When it was reported a few days ago that the Democratic leaders intended to rid their party ot the domination of Alt- geld and Tillman but little attention was vaid to it by the people. The report was 1egarded as a hope rather than as a fact, and very few expected that a serious atterpt would be made by any nota- ble class of Democratic siatesmen to re- alize it. It is now announced, however, that Mr. Aligeld has become alarmed by the threat and will make an active canvass for the Democratic nomination for Senator from Illinois. This activity on the part of Alt- geld implies a fear that the movement to dislodge him from the supreme councils of the party will be undertaken in earnest, and shows that he considers it necessary to guard against it by taking the aggres. sive at once. The course of his reasoning is clear, The Republican majority in the Illinois Legislature will be so large that the Dem- ocratic nomination for Senator will hardly be of sufficient importance ‘o count even as a complimentary vote; but it will nev- ertheless serve to show to whom the Dem- ocrats of Illinois look for leadership, and attempt to read him out of the party will be rendered futile and foolish. The general public has but very little interest in the family quarrels of a party 80 discredited as Democracy is to-day, but it can hardly refrain from taking sides with the conservative leaders of the party against the Altgelds and the Tillmans. While we have a party government, such as prevails among us at present, there must of necesaity be an opposition as well as an administration party, and it is a matter of National concern that the oppo- sition shounld be led as wisely and patriot- ically as the successful party. An opposi- tion headed by Aligeld and Tillman would be almost as subversive of the general good as an administration under their control, for it would mean ceaseless agi:a- tions and endless appeals to prejudice and passion. fornia products at the Guatemalan exposi- tion, for while the trade there may be very great now it has the potency of vast expansion. i The proposal of some of the fusion lead- ers fo get rid of Altgeld and Tillman may be taken as a proof they are willing to ups. set the old apple-cart and start out with a new one next time. As Salisbury seems disposed to accept the decision of the United States on the Venezuelan question we can hardly dis- pute bis proposition that the controversy is virtually settled. = ‘We need not be surprised if we have a very large immigration of dramatic ecritics from Germany this winter. Kaiser Wil- liam has written a play and threatens to have it produced throughout the empire. The world does not seem to have moved much during our political campaign, and now ihat we have time to look it over again we see the old issues, crises and questions in much the same shape they were three months ago. New Jersey mosquitoes transported across the ocean by the big steamers are said to flourishing in London as if they liked the climate, and it is probable Lon- don will soon have so many New York peculiarities it” won’t be worth while to make a voyage to see it. Everything asserted by the Republican par y during the campaign has been vroven by the resuit, and even more quickly than some Republicans expected. The swift ovening of mills and expansion of industry has been a wonderful object lesson to the whole country. An extra session of Congress seems to be a necessity, for while the present Sen- ate might consent to a revenue tariff it will not support a thorough system of protection such as the people voted for and the Republican party is pledged to &nacty It is startling to reflect that such men could in this country have attained to so much poweras to even succeed in nomin- ating a candidate for the Presidency who stood within a measurable distance of suc- cess. The election ot McKinley affords the Democratic party an opportune mo- ment for getting rid of the men who have disgraced it and demoralized it. If any considerable number of Democratic lead- ers resolve to overtarow Altgeld ana Till- man, they will have the sympathies of the people. Even those men who are most opposed to Democracy will be glad to see 1t restored to its former honorable posi- tion. No great party in this country should be controlied by agitators, and Democracy must get rid of Altgeld and Tillman, or else the country will get rid of Democracy. SALISBURY'S SPEECH. The address of Lord Salisbury at the Lord Mayor's banquet in London was chiefly notable for the references made to the settlement of the Venezuelan contro- versy, the possible interference of the powers for the protection of Armenia, and the position of the British Government with reference to Egypt. On the first subject, Lord Salisbury’s statement will be satisfactory to the American people. He declares: *“Our difficulty for months has been to define sattled districts, and the solution nas, I think, come from the Government of the United States that we should treat our colonial empire as we treat individuals; that the same lapse of time which protects the latter in civic life from having their title questioned should similaily protect an English colony.” While the Governments of the United States and of England have not yet reached an agreement as to whether the English colonies in Venezuela have any right there, against the claims of the Venezuelans, it seems clear from the statement of Lord Salisbury that the principle upon, which the question is to be by if Altgeld secures the nomination the | decided has been virtually determined, and, this being so, he was perhaps justi- fied in saying that the Venezuelan ques- tion is settled. The explanation why England does not interfere alone for the protection of Ar- menia is so lucid that it would seem there can bardly be any further dispute on that subject. The only way to protect Armenia would be to send there a force sufficient to make an armed occupation of the country, and this England is not able to do. Until a concert of action among the great na- tions of Europe is arranged it would be as foolish for the British to attempt to soive the Turkish question as it would be for this country to have attempted to settle the money question by engaging in the free coinage of silver without the aid er co-operation of Europe. The statements of the British Premier 1n regard to Egypt will not be so well re- ceived as were his remarks concerning Venezuela and Armemia. It is not un- likely that his declaration on this question may give rise to another European crists, for while he did not say so in direct terms he nevertheless implied that the British Government has no intention whatever to evacuate Egypt. This is the first time that a British Min- ister has ever officially made use of such plain language in regard to the English occupation of the Nile country, and will be taken as evidence that England has ceased to fear any coalition against her in Northern Africa and is now .well nigh prepared to formally annex Egypt to th empire, 3 The speech of the Prime Minister of England at the Lord Mayor’s banquet has the form of a mere after-dinner talk, but nevertheless for a long time past it has been regarded as one of the most respon- sible utterances of the Government. Not even the Queen’s speech at the opening of Parliament carries more weight with diplomacy than does the address at the Mayor’s banquet. It is certain, therefore, that what Lord Salisbury has said may be taken as the expression of the resolution of the British Government on the three greal.poinls to which we have referred. Great Britain will submit to American arbitration in Venezuela, she will not give aid to Armenia without the assistance of other nations, and she has no intention to evacuate Egypt. Itis on this basis that the nations of the earth must deal with her so long as Lord Balisbury retains power. % THE GUATEMALAN EXHIBIT. 1t is pleasing to learn thatthe merchants and manufacturers of California are tak- ing a keen mterest in the Guatemalan ex- position and intend to make fairly good exhibits of California products. The issue is one of considerable importance to the State. In the nature of things our trade in manufactured goods must be largely with Central and South America and with the islands of the Pacific. Everything therefore which tends to build up that trade carries with ita promise not only of immediate good but of better things to come. It wiil be difficult for California to com- pete with the East except in ihe produc- tion of certain classes of fruit and some quality of manufactures of woods peculiar to the coast. The great mass of our man- ufacturing must seek an outlet by the Pacific and a market in those lands which border on that great ocean. Trade with Guatemala may be slight now, but it has within it possibilities of growth. More- over what begins in that small country may expand throughout all of Central America and extend to the larger and richer countries of the southern conti- nent. It would be well for our peopie to send to the exposition not only exhibits of our manufactures but delegations of the rep- resentatives of our merchants. The ex- hibit of manufactured goods would show the Guatemalans what we have to sell, while the representatives of our merchants could study and learn what the Guate- malans wish to buy. It is within the lim- its of possibility that there are many things now demanded in Central America which we do not produce, bat can produce prolitably as soon as we know where to find a market for them. o y The pledge in the Republican National platform to promote the upbuilding of the American merchant marine gives promise of increased facilities for trade with Pacifiz Ocean vports. If our merchants find a market to the south or in the Orient, we can rely upon it that there will be favorable legislation to assist us in pro- viding the ships necessary to transport our goods. The first task is of course to find a market. The Guatemalan exposition of- fers a good opportunity to achieve that purpose, and by taking full advantage of it we may in this dawn of the new era of prosperity make the beginning of a trade which wiil eventually secure to our mer- chants ana our mannufacturers an oppor- tunity for an almost indefinite expansion of the industry and the commerce of this State. b PURE FOOD. Two ordinances, intended to enforce the rezulations provided by the Board of Health for food inspection have been submitted {o the Board of SBupervisors and referred to the Health and Police and Judiciary committees jointly. These ordi- nances affect the general welfare in im- portant respects and deserve attentive consideration from all who take an inter- est in snch matters. One of the proposed ordinances aims to prevent the furmshing of impure or adul- terated supplies to public institutions, and the second is intended to prevent the sale in the City of imp ure milk and meat. The plan for carrying out the intention is the same in each ordinance. It pro- vides for the examination and inspection at open public stations of all supplies for municipal institutions, and of all milk or meat intended for use as food in the City. On the face of this plan there is nothing objectionable. It would seem that inspec- tion at open public stations would be fair both to the public and to those whose commodities were to be investigated, and that no harm could possibly come to deal- ers from such a procedure. It bas been clear for a long time that communities will have to guard against impure food. The American people, by reason of the abundant supply of good ar- ticles of food of all classes, have been in. different to this subject long after Euro- pean nations have made important steps in the direction of governmental super- vision. We are, however, ramdly ap- proaching European conditions. The de- mand for cheap food in this country has led to the adulteration of various articies intended for human consumption, and, moreover, to the sale of diseased or tain meat. Diseases resulting from the use of such food are dangerous to the entire community, and it is not only the right but the duty of those in authority to guard against them., ‘Whetner the proposed ordina are the best that could be devised mast be left for experts to decide. It is sufficient to say the Board of Health should ve clothed with sufficient powers to protect the in- mates of publicinstitutions and the people generally against impure food. The present board has done its work well, The vigilance of the milk inspector in particular has been noteworthy and commendable. The people are on the side of pure food. Popular sentiment sus- tains the Board of Health, and 1if further legislation is needed as the proposed ordinances suggest the Supervisors will have the general support of the people in enacting it.

York Sun. To the unequaled organizer, amazing polid- cal and supereminent mnon-partisan, Mark Hanna of Cleveland, Ohic, this Nation owes this morning the profoundest gratitude. Not because le had the wit to pick outa winner in the Republican ranks and the loy- 8lty and energy to put his candidate through. Not because he organizea for victory with a scientific precision which has no paralle! in the history of Presidential campaigns. Not because he conducted the business in hand With & smoothness like to thatof the oil of Aucea, a vigilance that neglected no cor- ner or by-piace in the vast territory over which his eyes swept like ulrchli?hts, and a magna- nimity which kept his soul urruffiled and his brain” effective under personal abuse the most vicious and brutal, perhaps, which any man holding his post has ever had to en- counter. These are matters of degree, and in these Iatiers Mr. Hanna differs in degree only from other able and successful campalgn managers who have preceded him. His title to true greatness and his certificate of lasting fame in this: Cheerfully and with- out hesitation, in the midst of a campaign elaborately planned to follow certain prear- ranged lines of management, he recognized the commands of an suthority higher than that of Republican his course according! It takes a great leader to revise his entire plan of campaign, to abandon his precon- celved ideas of policy, to fling away what Seemed 0 be the maiustay of his own candi- date, and to proceed (o victory under the banner of & new and unforeseen ‘issue; but that is what this leader has done. hen Mr. Hanna, the Protectionist and the friend of William McKinley, gave up his orig- inal plan ofsubordinating the question of hon- est money to that of the tariff, and manfully accepted the dreaded word gold, which others had forced into the St. Louis platform, perha; against his own desiresat the time, he broas ened the issue from Republican partisanship to National patriotism. He made this victory Bnulbla when he made it possible for patriotic emocrats to vote with patriotic Republicans; and he made it possivle for patriotic Demo- Crats s0 1o vote when he put eside the tariff schedules and raised the flag. Having taken up the flag, Mr. Hanna bore it on to the glorious result which brightens the skies this morning; and to Mr. Hanna, the non-partisan, the Sun extends the assurances of its most distinguished consideration. NATIONAL INTEGRI1Y VINDICATED Philadelphis Times (Dem.). Never since the re-election of Abraham Lin- coln in 1864, when the country was in the ter- rible throes of iraternal war, was there a con- test for the Presidency that involved an issue of such vital moment as that which was over- whelmingly decidea by the people in the elec- tion of McKinley. It was an issue between National life and National death; an issue be- | tween prosperous industry and impoverished industry; an issue between enlightened progress and advancement and the fatal retro- gression of decay. It wasa contest that called into play the most artiul and ingenious power of the demagogue, to play upon the passions of the unfortunate and tempt them to the self- infliction of even greater sorrows upon them- selves than they are now suffering; but the American people have proved their integrity— aud more, they have proved that the life of the Republic can be safely trusted to its present sovereign power. The eleciion of McKinley to the Presidency is nota partisan triumph. True, he is a Re- hublil.‘an; &n earnest, unfaltering Republican. is administration wiil be distinctively Re- Eublicun; his patronage will be awarded to is Republican friends; but, above all, he will stand firm as a roek in the execution of the | imperious mandate of the Nution to mainta its integrity, its dignity, its honor and its matchless advancement.” While the triumph carries with it all that1s involved in a Repub- lican victory it is more distinetly a victory or | the patriotic people of all parties of the Na- tion over elements which have impaired our credit, paralyzed our industries, brought stag- nation upon our commerce and trade, made ! capitai retire from active enterprise and sought to sow the dragon’s teeth of sectional and class hatred among the people, who haye overwhelmingly declared for’ a common brotherhood. —_— AFTER THE BAITLE The Pop. bosses and blatherskites die hard, but they die just the same.—St. Louis Globe- Democrat.

P., Oskland, Cal: This correspondent, who isa close reader of “‘Answers to Correspondents,” calls attention to an answer in relation to the ‘Dapce of Death,” and suggests that there was published in San Francisco a book of that name.

In this work the author condemned the Waltz s immora! and leading to ruin. It was very plain in its statements and had a large sale.” BALDNEsS—A. 8., City. Baldness in the hu- man family arises from many causes. There is accidental baldness, which may involve the whole scalp or may be only in patches. These patches may run into each other, and some consider this condition a sort of ringworm. Sir Erasmus Wilson says it is caused by an atrcphy of the hair follicles. Baldness in the comparatively young and middle-aged may occur from wearing waterproof caps, which, predenting evaporation from the head, occasions an unhealthy state of the skin. Senile baldness is not necessarily the con- sezuence of old age; it may arise, like the pre- ceding variety, from an atrophy of those parts on which the hairs depend for nutrition. It begins usually on the crown of the head, where the supply of blood is naturally less abundant. Women have more of soft tissue under the skin, therefore the vessels are less likely to Dbe Iluteriered with; hence they are not so frequently bald as men. The causes ofbaldness ar.- the defective supply of nutrition mentioned, &1 mily tendency, late hours, dissi- pation, but especially old age. The hair falls off sfter severe iliness or after other causes of general debility. The treatment of baldness consists in attention to cleanlinessand In ex- citing the languid circulation of the scalp to greater activity by using a hard brush and the application of stimulants. What the proper remedy is in a particular case can best be de- termined by one who makes & study of hair and hair disease, LADY'S BLOUSE WITH BOX PLEATS A very chic waist of claret-colored camel’s hair, with appliques of lace on the box pleats, which fimished the front of the waist, was made with a biouse vest of white chiffon, with ap- pliques of yellow lace to match that on box pleats.

EDOUARD REMENYI BOBS UP SERENELY The Great Viclinist Is So- journing in This City. He Has Just Completed Writing a National Hymn for Hungary. { CONTESTING FOR AGREAT PRIZE He Accepts a Lccal Composition as a Part of His Concert Repertoire. Praises Sauvlet’s Talent, Edouard Remenyi, the famous Hun- garian violinist, is sojourning in this City as the guest of G. von Sauvlet. The fact of his presence was not known until yes- terday, when his sprightly figure was observed on the street, much to the sur- prise of his many friends and admirers. Despite the tremendous pressure which has been brought to bear upon him as a result of the almost uninterrupted series of concert tours on this continent for the past three years, he still retains his old- time ardor, and the complaisant smile which bas always been characteristic of this genius is as winning as ever. Mr. Remenyi was seen last evening at the Sauvlet residence, on Fulton street, where a few select musicians had gathered to honor the event of the great maestro’s visit here. Mr. Remenyi would consent to perform but one selection, and this was a esimple little “Christmas Berceuse,” written es- pecially for bim by his friend Sauvlet. He declared that in point cf melody, effect and general construction this work is in- deed of exceptional merit. After shower- ing endless praise upon the composer he announced that he would bencelorth in- clude the composition in his concert re- pertoire. Mr. Remenyi has just completed a nae tional hymn, which he intends dedicating to the King of Hungary, It is of the impressive school and calculated to awaken the patriotic souls of his country- men. Mr. Sauvlet performed the com- position on the piano, and forcibly illus- trated the fact that Remenyi’s calculations are not based upon theory. The facts which led up to his determina- tion in producing such a composition are interesting to say the least. ‘““You must | first understand,” said he, “that Hungary, being a dual empire, :he Hungarians recognize their ruler while in that coun- try as their King and not the Emperor of Austria. *“We have three national anthems, The ‘Rakoczy,’ an instrumental number, aad aninvocation and nauonal church hymn. The latter, by Haydn, is also used in Aus- tiia, and in order to have a distinct Hun- garian anthem the Pariianent has offered a prize equal to about $20,000 for a compo- sition answering this purpose. *‘The hymn which I have just corapleted came t0 me as an inspiration and i have nodoubt as regards its acceptance.” Mr. Remeny! has just comnpleted a suc- cessful concert tour throughout the United States and Canada, embracing a period of one year and one day. His initial con- cert for the coming season will take place at Chicagoon the 24th inst.
