Conditions are good and prospects are better. Will Berkeley win or Stanford? Thatis the question. May everybody have a turkey appetite and also the bird. For every party to-day there is plenty of turkey and no crow. Those who have done most for charity will have most joy in the feast. Even the man who gets the zoose to- day will haye no occasion for kicking. Lat us hope that even Tom Watson will be filled with content and satistied to-day. Protection to industry is assured and there is joy in the bome of the working man. The climate promised yesterday it would do its duty to-day and make everything lovely. The early rains give us a fair assurance of coming crops and all things are pro- pitious to the thankfulness of the day. It was the Republican victory that assured prosperity, but the rejoicing is National and the feasting is for every- body. If the hope of being elected in 1900 adds any cheer 0 Bryan’s Thanksgiving to-day there will be no objection to his indulg- ing it. Mark Hanna wants np cabinet pnfl-‘ ding. He gets his deserts in the approval of the people for a difficult duty abiy and nobly doue. The Vallejo papers made a combined have won. The games have stopped ana the gamblers are going. The people of the United States were never in a better humor for a festival than at this time, and it is doubtful if there is turkey enough in the country to satisfy the demand. California proauces neither eggs, chick- ens, cheese nor butter enough to supply her own people, and it will be seen, there- fore, that rural indusiry has lots of room for development. Arizona was a little sorry over the defeat of the silver party, but she rejoices in the rise in the price of copper, and will have her share in the Thanksgiving along with the rest of the country. There has been no fake on our part in he airship story. There is some cause for the strange lights which so manv peo- ple have seen and Tue CALL can be oounted on to find it out. The newspapers of every section of the State report good prospects for all indus- tries and show clearly that the people have a more cheeriul feeling than has been known for a long time past. There is danger ihat the State editors feasted so fuily at Vallejo that they will not be able to do jus:ice to the home tur- key, and we may hear complaints fcom the interior before the week is over. The heroism displayed during the wreck- ing of the San Benito is another evidence of the courage of American sailors and attests once more that the virtue of man- hood is always equal to whatever danger comes. The very fact that so many reputable people believe they have seen an airship is a proof the worid is ready for that in- vention, and when the public is well pre- pared for anything it is never long before itcomes. “T'he Denver Times cordially indorses the movement for the appointment of a Secre- tary of Mines ana will take an active part in the agitation for it, and so the good cause goes forward and increases in strength as it goes. The fact that the Republican Home Market Club of Boston greetea Cleveland’s name with cheers shows how completely we have returned to feelings of good humor. There are no longer any animosi- ties. We are ull for prosperity and gene- ral rejoicing. The Yuma Sentinel declares that within the next year more capital will be invested in mines and irrigation in Axizona than has ever before been done or thoughkt of, 50 you need not be surprised if you kear Yuma talking of maunicipal development and city extension this winter. According to the State Dairy Burean, no oleomargarine has been manufactured in Californ:a since July, 1895, and very few filled cheeses have been made or imported, and it would sem that since the dairy law of two years ago has worked so well we might extend it to other adulterated toods. - A call bas been issned by Morrison L Ewift of Berkeley and a number of other reformers for a new political organization, to be known as tbhe “Public Ownership varty,”” but it will hardly be needed. In this country a political party does not have to be called. If it is coming at all it will come of itself, THANKSGIVING DAY. The present geveration of the peovle of the United States has never before in its history been in such humor for thanks- giving as it is to-day.” As Benator Hear well said at the jubilee banquet of the Home Market Club on Tuesday night: “It will take more than one day for Thanksgiving this year. No private dwelling, no church, no ordinary building, cah contain our joy.” Itisin the fullest sense a National rejoicing, and they will be few indeed who fail to take partin 'it. The American people have at all times abundant reasons for being tbankful for ‘he conditions under which they lve. Our iand so far surpasses all others in its natural resources and its returns to labor, our Government is so much more free than others, our people so far superior in intellizence, education and enterprise, and the opportunities for advancement are so much greater than in other lands, that however heavy may be such tem- porary evils as weigh upon us at any par- ticuiar time, we can still find abundant reason on Thanksgiving day for gratitude and for rejoicing. X This year, however, in addition to those good things which are permanent in our soil, our government and our social struc- ure, there are many blessings peculiar fo the time. The chief of these is unques- tionably that which has resulted from the last election. We are now assured that the people of the United States are not moved by sectional prejudices or class an- tagonisms, and are not subject to the ex- citing appeals of demagozues. In that assurance we find not only prosperity to- day but confidence in the endurance of proswverity for the rest of this generation. It is with rejoicing minds and grateful hearts, therefore, we can turn our atten- tion to-day to the cbservance of the great National festival. Tbe celebration in which we are to en :age is pecuhar to our eountry. No other land shares it with ns, and yet it is not a day asscciated with any sentiment that belongs exclusively to Americans. It is a day of devout thanks- giving to the Giver of all good and bears witness to the grateful heart of the Amer- ican people in the miast of the abundance which they enjoy. We may be sure the day will be marked by a charity not less abundant than the thanksgiving. The American people are not selfish. They do not celebrate their holidays for themselves alone. There will be an earnest desire this morning that every famiiy in the Union should share in the joy of the festal day. This desire will not waste itse!f in idle wishes. It will be manifest in a thousand generous ac- tions. Every effort will be made by thoase who are favored to give gladness to those who have been less fortunate, and there ill be few people in the wide extent of our Republic who do not have a sufficiency of the good things of the earth wherewith to feast themselves, GOOD PROSPEOTS. It isa noteworthy feature of the times that the pressof almost every section of the United States has a more buoyant, | cheerful and sanguine tone than has been known for a lonz time past. This is par- ticularly true of the country press, where the editors are in cioser touch with the people than is possible for metropolitan journalism. If, therefore, the press is any true mirror of the community we may be sure the American people have rareiy, if ever, been more contented with present conditions or more certain of better things to come. The sanguine hopefulness on the part of the press is strikingly illustrated by the newspapegs of Arizopa. If there was any | portion of the Union which had apparent fight against gambling in that city and reason for being dissatisfied with the re- sult of the election it was that Territory. Arizona is rich in silver mines, and to these mines she has hitherto looked mainly for the increase of her wealth and her population. The defeat of the Silver party was therefore a severe blow to her people. Nevertheless, even from Arizona we hear nothing but words of good cheer and reports of increasing prosperity. The Arizona Sentinel of Yuma says: “‘At no period in the past have the pros- pects looked brighter for Yuma than at present, and we believe that erc another twelve months pass the inhabitants of Yuma will see more capital invested in mines and more irrigation enterprises undertaken than have ever before been done or thought of by the most enthusi- astic admirer of Yuma’s future pros- perity.” The Arizona Republican of Pheenix notes the 10 per cent advance in the price of copper since the election of McKinley, and says that as some of the finest copper mines are to be found in that Tegritory it goes without saying the advancing price will have a most beneficial effect upon the welfare of the people. The Re- publican adds: “The chances are that before the bezinning of the new year the mining industry in Arizona will have re- vived to such an extent thateven the present croakers will have to admit the country 1s°'on the up grade at last.” When such reports come from Arizona we may be sure the rest of the country is cheerful. In fact, as we have said, there is not a newspaper from any portion of the Union which is not at this time exult- ing in reviving industry and setting forth the prospects of an increasing prosperity. in the future, The interior press of California, we are glad to’ say, sourds a note even more san- guine and more hopeful than that of other States. We find everywhere evidence that the energies of the people are aroused to the undertaking of new enterprises with an assured confidence of profits, and we can count therefore with almost absolute certainty upon a rapid development of all industries and a vast advance in the welfare of all the people. THOROUGH PROTEQTION. In all the discussion on the possibility of passing the Dingley bill at the coming session of Congress there has been nothing which dealt with the subject more effectu- ally thana resolution of the Manufacturers’ Club of Philedelphia calling for *“the re- enactment of the so-called McKinley tanff of 1890, with such changes as shail make that measure more sirongly protective while insuring a larzer revenue.” This resolution covers the whole sub- ject. It zoes directly to the point and deals with it comprehensively. The peo- ple of the United States desire not only a revenue for the Government, but protec- tion for home industry. They wish no compromise measure whose passage would endanger or delay the epactment of a thorough comprebhensive protective tariff. It is for that reason that they look with disfavor upon the Dingley bill and take little interest in the efforts of those who are trying to promote its adoption by Con- gress this winter. The American Economist has very aptly defined conservative protection as that kind of protection whic: conserves every American industry. Protection is perfect only when it is universal. It is in that respect that the Dingley bill falls short of the demands of the people. It gives sonething of proteciion to some indus- + | tries, but it leayes others, and among f them the great sugar industry of Califor- nia, inadequately provided for. President-eiect McKinley owed hisnom- ination at St. Louis by the Republican party wholly to the fact that his name was more intimately associated with the protective system and the tariff bill of 1890 than that of any other statesman of the day. He was looked upon as the par- ticular champion of American industry, and was therefore logically the leader of the Rapublican party in the contest for a return to the protective system. It was for that reason he was nominated, and it was for that reason he was elected. The Republican party, therefore, would fall short of popular expectation if itaccepted any compromise on the tariff or entered into any arrangement that would delay a return to full and cémplete protection. —— THE AIRSHIP Few things of recent occurrence have been more gratifying to THE CaLn than the way 1n which its reports of the airship have been received by the public. Thata story so strange and so seemingly improb- able as this should have found a wide acceptance when coming from THE CaLL is conciusive evidence that the people are aware THE CALL deals in no fakes, and that whatever it reports is well founded on reason and on fact. Public opinfon on the subject was well expressed by Editor Walden of the Napa Journal at the State editors’ convention in Vallejo, In saying that while he was incredulous of the airship he did not like ! to disbelieve the many persons of known | veracity c/aiming to have optical evidence of its existence, Mr, Walden added: *I! the story had appeared in any other paper | than Tre Cary I should have paid no at- tention to it.” This and other expressions of popular confidence in the reliability and accuracy of Trg CALL's reports on all matters of pub- lic interest are in the highest degree grati- fying. - It will be borne in mind THE CALL has never asserted the existence ot an air- ship, and never has ungdertaken even to describe on its own authority the strange light which has been seen. It has given only the reports of those who claimed to have seen it, and who being persons of reputation and good standing in the com- | munity are entitled to public confidence | in what they say. The subject is one of popular interest and of no little public importance. Itis, therefore, nothing more than proper that a newspaper which aims to give all the news all the time, and give it accurately every time, should gather these reports and seek diligently to find upon what cause they are based, This is what Tue CaLr has done and will continue to do. It is evident that so many men of good | understanding cannot be wholly deceived |in a matter of such a nature, There is certainly some cause for the strange lights which so many intelligent people have | seen and described. That cause we are now seeking out. We have no intention nor object to deceive the public. We aim simply to make known the truth. The readers of THE CALL may rely upon it that they will receive as early as possible a full and complete explanation of the mystery whatever that may be. There is certainly some cause for the light and THE CaLn will find it out. NEWSPAPER INFLUENOE. | . | Theinfluence of newspapers, when all which are published in any community are united for a pood cause, has been strik- ingly shown in Vallejo, and the incident is worth wide consideration since 1t gives clear evidcnce of what may be accom- plished for reform if only the editors of any locality combine to accomplish it. For some time past Vallejo has been almost overrun by gamblers. The Vallejo Times asserted in beginning a crusade against the evil: “Vallejo is becoming the Monte Carlc of California. Gambling hells are doing business openly on Georgia street in violation of the State law, de- | bauching our youths and injuring the business and fair name of the town.” On that showing it called for a suppression { of the evil and roused the officers of the | law against it. The ' Chronicle and the News joined | heartily with the Times in making the fight, and the result was the accomplish- ment of a speedy victory under cum- stances whicu give promise that it will be permanent. The Chronicle declared the gambling in the city was not ordinary gaming, but came within the full scope and conditions of a ‘menace to the com- munity, and the News gave an equally hearty support to the fight. The result is clearly stated by the News in a recent article, w ‘ich says: “Now all the games which were openly conducted in the saloons on Georgia street are closed and are likely to remain so.” It adds furthermore: “Itis asserted Sheriff Rush and District Attorney Devlin will see that the games do not reopen.” The swift accomplishment of success in this fight against gambling by the news- papers of Vallejo has a lesson for the newspapers of San Francisco. This City has lone been overrun by lottery fakers and swindlers. THE CALL has repeatedly directed attention to the fact and invited the co-operation of its contemporaries in crushing out the evil, We now do so again. Every lottery tickei is aswindle. Every man who sells one not only violates the law, but swindles the man who pur- chases it, Buch swindlers and violators of the law should not be tolerated in any community, and it seems evident from the result in Vallejo that if our contem- poraries would unite with us we could put an end to this evil and save to the peovle of San Francisco many thousands of dollars every month.

Interesting Fxperiment in a BSowuthern California Orchard. To the Edilor of the San Francisco Call—SIR: On Saturday Horticultural Commissioner Hamiltor of Orange received a strong colony of verdalia cardinalis from Commissioner Scott of Los Angeles. Mr. Hamilton placed them in the old Travis orchard, where some white scale had been discovered. This is the third time within the last few years t! this orchard has been treatea with parasites, and each time they h‘lve apparentiy eradicated the white scale. That the seale should again ap- pear proves two facts that horticultutists can- no: afford to overlook. The first is that the greatest care and waichfulness 1s necessary at all times, not only to restrain diseases or pests which are known to exisi, but to prevent the recurrence of those which heve apparently been eradicated, and by ail means to stop the importation of new ones. The second fact proved is that the white sealé is held in perfect subjection by the vedalia cardinalis. .The use of one insect to destroy another is a complete success, and every effort should be made to further apply the same principle. JOHN EASTWOOD. Orange, Cal., November 24, 1896. MUSIC AND Since the publication of Mme. Nordica's 8sperity at not getting the roles she wanted at the Metropolitan Opera-house this season it has been intimated that her marriage lies heavy on her mind. As the famous Maine widow her disposttion was always sunny, and her temper was as harmonious as her yoice, But they say strange things about Herr Docme, the young Hungarian tenor whom Nordica vowed to love, konor and obey, less than a year ago. He is & good deal younger than she is, he is ambitious, and he seems to lack the lalent 10 shine in the same company Wwith his wife, Last summer Nordica had a paiuful experience with her Doeme. A Ger- men audience positively refused to listen to his singing and his name was about to be re- moved from the programme, when Nordica said if he went she would go, too. Rather than lose her Cosima Wagner finally accepted ber spouse, but the incident must have been wounding to Nordiea's pride. Having closed the doors of the Metropolitan Opera-house 1o herself Nordica has set out on a concert tour, which will extend to San Francisco if the olive MUSICIANS, the recent Steiner competition and is very highly spoken of, but it could not save the theater, which was in financial difficulties, and two days after its preduction the manage- ment of the Filodramatico had to close the doors of the theater. The French Minister of Public Instruction and Fine Arts has commissioned Atbert Carre tomake a tour of the chief opera-houses in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Russia and Italy in order to bring back to Paris all the sugges- tions for improvements he can find. The first theater 10 which he was commissioned to direct his steps was the Ducal Opera-house of Carlsruhe, where ‘‘Drac,” the new lyric drama by the Hillemacher brothers, was being per- formed. A writer in Le Menestrel, advocating the Wagnerian idea of an invisible orchestra, says: “It is possible that in & certain number of years the souvenir of the visible orchestra of ourdays will produce the effect on future generations thatis produced on us when we read of the performances in the days of Lully, branch is not held out by Grau and accepted by Nordica. She is very foolish to have quar- reled with Gran, for to close the doors of the Metropolitan 10 herseli means to close the doors of Covent Garden also. Parisdoes not want her and Germany scarcely offers a wide enough field for an ambitious prima donna with a husband to su pport. What the French papers speak of as *‘a re- gretable incident” happened recently at Oran. It seems that the music and dramatic critic of one of the local papers, L'Echo d’Oran, gave quite the reverse of satisfaction to the singers of the Municipal Theater troupe. Indeed. the barytone and the tenor were so inturiated at his strictures of their voeal efforts that they iaid a deep plot for revenge. One might the critic was decoyed into the dressing-room of Fouquernie, the tenor, Rodeville, the bary- tone, being also present. No sooner was the unfortunste scribe inside than an unexpected flank moyement from Fouquernie cut off his retreat, According to the telegraphic reports the tenor * lyzed the critic’s movements,” while the barytone, who seems to have been of a more aggressive nature, subjected the seribe to kicks and blows. French justice is swift; as soon as help came the tenor and the barytone were taken before the Commissaire de Service, and the verbal process having es- tablished beyond a doubt their melice afore- thought, Messieurs Foquernie and Rodeville were commitied. Mapleson only promises one new opera this season, although Italy is flodded with new works. Heseems to have made his one selec- tion wisely, however, for “Andrea Chenier” figures in the repertoire of almost all the big Italian ‘opera-houses for the coming season, and wherever it has been playea it has made & success. The work is by Umberto Giordani, who, like Mascagni, Leoncavallo, Puccini and the rest of the composers of “Young Italy,” came to the front quite rapidly. Giordano, in fact, is the newest of tLem all, but there are others whom Mapleson might have found it to his interest to give a hearing in America—Puc- cini for instance, who Verdi says is the most ifted of them all. The big opera-house of San Carlo at Naples has just announced the follow- ing works for the coming season: ‘‘Pource- augnac,” an unpublished opera by Alberto Franchetti, “Cristoforo Colombo,” by the same composer, Verdl’s “Falstaff,”” Puceini's *Ma- non Lescaut” and Giordano's ‘“Andrea Chenier.” When Susan Strong, the Brooklyn society girl, made her debut with Mapleson’s opera company mot long &go, as Marguerite in “Faust,” she was so unnerved by stage fright that she could scarcely sing at all. Later on she regained her seli-possession and showed herself to be the possessor of a beautiful voice, though she could not sct. It is said that the flower show which was interpolated into the performance on Miss Strong’s account had never been equaled on & metropolitan stage. One box party alope contributed some filty bouquets. Quite an excitement has been stirred up in musical eircles in Paris by the sensational con- ducting of Aléxander Winogradsky, president of one of the branches of the Imperial Russian Symphony Society and director of the conser- vatory of Kiev. This is how Le Figaro de- scribes his method of handling the baton: “When one recalls the delirious parodies of chefs d’orchestre formerly vlayed by the Han- lon-Lees one will have some idea of the spec- tacle presented by M. Winogradsky, panto- miming with his arms, feet and head with all the fantastic agility of a clown. A simple orchestral score becomes, through the furious ardor of this disjointed interpreter, a terrible drama or a good farce. Butthe power of talent and conviction is such thet this frenzy of gestures, which at first seems ridiculous and raises & smile, soon imposes respect and atten- tion.” Alexandre Guilmant has just been appointed professor of the organ at the Paris conserva- tory in place of Widor. The appointment gives great satisfaction, as he is one of the best men who could possibly have been chosen for the post. It was he who represented the French school at the World’s Feir, and some of the best organists in this and other coun- tries are his pupils. Guilman} was born at Boulogne-Sur-Mer fifty-nine years ago. For some years past he has been the organist of La Trinite, and both as a composer and organ virtuoso he is universally knows. The Filodramatico Theater at Milan has jnst given the first performance of a little opera entitled “Dopo I’Ave Maria” (after the Ave Maria), the music of which isduetoa young composer who bears the promising name of Alfred Denigetti, The opera won & prize in MME. LILLIAN NORDICA DOEME, Whose Marriage Is Said to Be Far From Happy. Corneille, Racine and Moliere, when the stage was incumbered on both sides by spectators sitting among the actors.” All the operas of the defunct Carlos Gomes are to be presented this season at the Lyric Theater ot Rio Janeiro, including “Maria Tudor,” which is as yet unknown in Brazil. A bill is before the Brazilian Parliament for & subvention of $10,000 to defray the cost of the series, and it includes the obligation of two representations for the profit of the fam- ily of Gomes. The Liederkranz—the German singing so- ciety—of New York will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary in 1897 by making an artistic tournee of Germany and Austria. The pro- ceeds of all its concerts will be devoted to the poor of the town where the concert is given, The Royal Theater of Munich has just re- vived with real success Chabrier’s “Gweudo- ine,” which met with & very chilling recep- tion when it was first given some years ago. It is another case of a French composer having to die beiore his work is really appreciated. Vincent d’Indy’s new lyric drama ‘“Fervasal” will be produced in Paris about the middle of January. The composer is actively superin- tending the rehearsals. The tollowing programme will be performed at the orchestral concert at the Baldwin Theater next¢ Sunday evening, when Mme. Fannie Bloomfield-Zeisler will play with the Hinrichs-Beel orchestra: Overture, ‘Pro- methurs” (Beethoven); concerto in F minor (Chopin), Mme, Zeisler; ballet musie, “Gia- conda” (Ponchielll); concerto in D minor (Rubinstein), Mme. Zeisler; scherzo from D minor, concerto (Litolf), Mme, Zeisler; Spanish Qauce (Mosykowski). The third Bacon-Minetti ensemble concert will take place at the Association auditorium on Saturday afternoon at 3 o’clock. —_— INFAN.'S ShORT DRESS. A graceful model is here shown, which hangs straight from a rourd yoke, The sieeves are the comfortable and stylish bishop shape. Deep flouncing is used for dressy gowns, and il noi too heavily embroidered make nice dresses for general wear, embroidering of simple 'patterns wearing better than heayy ones, The saving of labor in the finish at the 100t is also on object to folks who make these garments at home. Embroidered flouncing of plain colored gln(hlmm pretty if white grows monoto- ous. For white cambric dresses yokes of white fabrics that come already tucked are labor. saving and prettier than plain fabrics. The rufle around the yoke on such simple gowns is of the fabric, with pernaps sn edge of nur- row iace or embroidery. Where exquisitely dainty frocks are desired neinsook or batiste is used. A band em- broidery of the same fabric, with the pattern forming a straight eage thatis open, is used in lieu of neck and sleeve bands. This is put on with a French seam, making a neat finish. —_— The King of Belgium is now erecting two villas af Beaulieu, Itis expected that Queen Merie Henrlette will pass next winter in one of them, as a long southern sojourn has been advised by her physicians.

Fer joy, an’ the strength fer sorrow, Fer the winter an’ the May; The Lord—he’s keepin’ to-morrow, An’ ali I want Is to-day ! - An’ somehow his smile has found me, An’ the dark like the light'll shine, While my chidren’s arms air round me, An’ the dear wife's hand in mine!

Even though the wheels are turning again, the number of people looking for Government jobs In preference to any other kind seems to be just as large as usual,—Cincinnati Tribune. If Congress will only take the necessary step at its coming session to provide sufficient revenues for the support of the Government, nothing will stand in the way of the in- auguration of an era of prosperity such has notbeen seen here in a long time.—Cleveland Leader. It is a fitting rewara for Pennsylvania's noble stand that already the effects of Teturn- ing prosperity are felt in every section of the State, and that her thousands of workingmen are now receiving material benefits from the wise and patriolic stand they took on election day.—Philadelphia North American.

The fact that many of these concerns have accumulated orders on which they can run for several months happily suggests that the overproduetion which probably nelped to make the hard times of the last four years has been used up, aud after the present orders are filled there will be immediately new ones to keep the wheels turning.—Cincinnati En- quirer. } CALIFORNIA fig taffy, 25c & 1b.
