The early purchaser gets the pick of the Christmas novelties. It looks now as if Cuban independence might come in with the New Year. The Dingley bill will stay in its pigeon- hole, and that is the best place for it. At any rate Berkeley'sname is not mud. | Her team showed too much sand for that. There is no longer even so much as four more months of Grover. Time is flying | beautifully. I TR The mining counties are not only talk- ing of prosperity, but have begun the work for it. You get all the news and the best of leisure day reading when you get THE SUNDAY CALL. { Those who thouzht they saw an airship certainly saw something, and they can swear to that, When you begin your purchases to-day do not forget that your home should bea | market for home products. This Congress need not trouble iiself about the tariff bill. The next one can settle the issue promptly and settie it right. The sad condition of Tammany Hall is shown by the fact that the office of grand sachem is hunting 2 man and cannot find one. The blizzard season began in the Dako- tas on Thanksgiving day and turned the festival into a cold snap for many a good citizen. The statesmen are on their way to Washington and before long the Eastern air will be as full of politics as of snow- storms. The work of coast defense goes bravely on, and in a few years we shall be able to maintain peace without being anxious about it. The weather will seem balmy enough to youif you will read and consider the re- ports of the weather they are having in the East. The next State assembly of note will be the gathering of the farmers and dsiry- men at San Luis Obispo and the expecta- tions are it wiil prove an important one! in every respect. Cleveland had a larger turkey than either McKinley or Bryan, but as he did | not have the victory of the one nor the hopefulness of the other his advantage was not great after all. It is estimated the oranee crop of Cali- fornia this year will be the largest in the history of the State, and thus we have an- other evidence of prosperity to cheer us through the Christmas time. ‘The people of Enreka very happily cele- brated Thanksgiving day by launching the new steamer Humboldt and now they know they are to bave a ship to come in and bring them prosperity as a steady business. An attempt of the monovoly to pass a funding bi!l at the coming session of Con- gress is not probable, but it is possibie, and therefore the peonle must be vigilant and resolved to strike it a blow that will kill it forever. The Coiusa Sun mekes the good sugges- tion to the veovle of that county that in- stead of waiting for outside capital to come in and put up a sugar plant for them they should unite and begin the industry for themselves. The near approach of the meeting of Concress revives interest in the funding bill and the people of Celifornia must pre- pare to resume the fight against the mo- nopoly. It will never do to be caught napping at this time. A number of the leading papers of the interior have started an agitation to se- cure a greater amount of home rule for counties, and on that issue San Francisco can combine with them. We want more home rule in our neck of the woods. The Redding Free Press declares that many mining claims in Shasta County which were formerly considered of small value are now being worked at #profit and the outlook is brizhter than ever be- fore. Thusthe good news keeps on coms ing. Football is a paying game in New York, the net receipts for the match between Princeton and Yale having amounted to over $28,000, and it appears any man can endow a university in these days who can put a good team on the gridiron and make it win, piia B A The Venezuelan question seems fairly out of the way, but as reports from Wash. ington show that the seal problem is no means in a satisfactory condition it is vlain that Olney will have enough to do to keep himself warm from now uatil March, The report of ex-Congressman Louttit THE TUNDING BILL. The near approach of the date for the assembling of Congress revives public in- terest in tbe fanding bill. The passage of such a bili this winter is not probable, but it is possible. It behooves the people of California, therefore, to be on their guard. The monopoly isalways at work. Itisin a position to strike a decisive blow at any moment. The people must be equally | vigilant ana prepared to guard against the attack in whatever form it comes. The fight against this scheme of the railroad company to fasten its monopoly upon the people of California for at least filty years to come has up to this time been ably conducted and has accomplished & fair degree of success. While a coni- plete victory has not yet been won, the efforts of the monopoly lobby have been | always thwarted, and the rights of the veople have been virtually maintained. It would be a most grievous thing if at this late day any lack of vigilance or watchfulness should permit all past work to be rerdered useless and the monopoly to attain success after all. It is hardly necessary to call for further mass-meetings on the subject, since the sentimentsof California have been already | 80 clearly expressed that there is no reason to manifest them in that way again. All that is needed now is that the press of the State should begin a new crusade against the funding bill and ronse public attention once more to the issue. Every man who has reason to believe he hasinfluence with any member of Congress should write to that member and urge him to stand firm on the side of justice and the people against the spoliation schemes of the monopoly. If such tactics are pursued the attempt to pass the bill at this ion of Congress will be baffled as such efforts have been in the past, and the people of California will have the satisfaction of winnine a victory which will not only emancipate them- selves from the cinch of a monopoly, but will be in the truest sense of the word a victory for American law over a gigantic conspiracy to defeat it in the interests of one of the most grasping and greedy cor- | porations known to the history of the world. Congress will assemble in a few days. 1f the funding bill is to be broneht up at all at this session it will be presented al- most as soon as Conzress meets. This, therefore, is the time for the press and the people to speak vut. Every member of Congress should be given notice that public opinion on this subject has not changed since last winter and that popu- lar sentiment remains as it wasat that time. We count on the delegation from Celifornia to act as a unit in the contest. The moment for decisive battle seems to | have arrived. Now, then, let the iriends of the people strike home and deal the blow which wiil put an end to the iniquity forever. KO COMPROMISE BILL. The report cf our special correspondent from Washington published yesterday shows the prospects are that no attempt will be made to pass the so-called Dingley bill even in an amended form at the present session of Congress. This means, of course, that an extra session will be called as soon as President-elect McKin- ley takes his seat, and a comprehensive vrotectiva measure will be enacted as speedily as possible. This report will be regarded as good news throughout the country. It was, of course, not wholly unexpected. The drift of discussion in the press ever since the election has shown an increasing popular sentiment opposed to any compromise on the tariif question. The demand is for a comprehensive system of protection, and the people would not be satisfied with a tariff providing merely for revenue with- out regard to the industries of the country. According to our correspondent, the Senate is no longer the sol obstacle in the way of the passage of an amended compromise bill. The House itself, which passed the Dingley bill at its last session, would reject it now because of the chaneed conditions since the election. Moreover, it seems to be assured that Cieveland | woutd not sign such a bill, as he desires to goout of office with the record of con- tency on the tariff. This being so, the bill is out of the question. We can now look forward, therefore, to an extra ses- sion of Congress and a speedy return to that conservative protection which con- serves every industry of the country. There can be little doubt that this solu- tion of the issue will be satisfactory to the great majority ‘of the American veople. A compromise measure that woula have been expedient last winter, when it would have had at least eighteen months to run, was quite a different thing from a compromise measure that cannot be expected to live more than six months. Last winter a speedy return to protection was doubtful; this winter it is certain. Therefore the reasons which im- pelled the Republican majority in the House of Revresentatives last winter are no longer valid, and what was good statesmanship then would be folly now. 1t 18 believed that as soon as President- elect McKinley takes his gseat he will call an extra session of Congress to assemble at once, and there is good reason for the hope that a Republican tariff can be en- acted before the end of July. will give & new stimulus to industry and will do much to augment the revival of trade so happily begun. The policy, therefore, deserves general commenda- tion, and we have no doubt will receive it from all except those Bourbon free- traders whom no experience can teach and who care more for their particular Ttheory than they do for the weliare of the country. A SEORETARY OF MINES, In a recent interview President Neff of the California Miners’ Association is quoted as saying: “We expect the com- mittee on agitation for a BSecretary of Mines and Mining to commence work right away. Our Congressional delegation is heartily in favor of the propesition and we want it to assist us in interesting the Representatives from States like Pennsyl- vania and New York.”” This committee should in its work re- ceive the hearty co-operation of tbe press throughout all the mining Biates. As will be seen by a letter from Sensator Mitchell, published this morning, it will bave strong support in Congress. We have been glad to see that many papers in this section have already begun the work of a campaign of education on the eubject, and we trust it will not be long before every newspaper published in a mining State wiil take up the canse and promote it by all means in its power. The contest is not one in which miners only are interested. It concerns the gen- eral welfare of the whole country. The prosperity of the United States depends in regard to the revival of manufacturing [in no small measure vpon the develep- industries in Colorado shows that even in | ment of mines, and that can be best that State the defeat of iree silver will not | brought about by g1ving to that industry be altogether a loss.

As has been pointed out, itis not always easy to geta ruling on doubtful questions of these laws, even when an appeal is taken direct to the Government. The head of the Bureau of Public Lands does not al- ways give the same ruling asthe Secre- tarv of the Interior, and s dispute asto | whether certain lands are agricultural or | mineral not infrequently leads to confu- ion and involves a serious loss to the prospective miner. The magnitude of the industry is in itself sufficient to justify the appointment of an officer tc represent it in the Cabinet of the Nation. A farther argument for the appointment of such an official is found in the extremely scientific character of the industry, and the fact that Ameri- can miners are brought into competition with those of other countries, whose work is aided by all the powers of their govern. | ments, Since the great nations of Europe | have Ministers to attend to mining af- fairs and to promote them, it is certainly | necessary for the United States to give an equal attention to the mining industry of this country. | We bespeak, therefore, for the commit- | tee appointed by President Neff to agi- tate this question the cordial support of the press in every section of the Union. | Certainly the newspapers of the West ought to engage in it with ardor and energy. We have entered into this fight, and ought to prosecute'it with the inten- tion of winning. Whatever plan the miners adopt should be cordially seconded by Congressmen from the mining States | and by the press. The work bas been well begun. Let it be pushed forward with vim and vigor and the end will be victory. “THE SUNDAY OALL” In to-morrow’s issue of TwE Cary will appear a muititude of features which will commend themselves to the discriminat- ing readers of San Francisco, and in fact to the whole wide West. The matter in THE SUNDAY CALL is alwaystimely, always |interosting. and more than this, it is al- | ways clean as well as clever. As the fall exnhibition of the Art | Assgeiation comes nearer, the won- | der naturally grows among all who are familiar with San Francisco art work as to what mnew ideas will be brought out. THE CALL is enabled to fur- nish an answer that will be quite compre- hensive in its nature, for it will to-morrow i reproduce pen-sketches of their own best | new pieces by such well-known and dis- | tinguished knights of brush ana palette | as Will Keith, Tom Hill, John Stanton, | A. Jouillin and L. P. Latimer. These sketcnes will afford excellent ideas of the effect that is conveyed by the original paintings. A poem on the glories of the Golden Gate, superbly illustrated, will be found to contain some very appreciable merits. “An Idy! of Autumn in Northern Cali- fornia,” by Olive Heyden, makes beauti- ful reading for those who have a taste for the poetic in nature. In the northern part of the Golden State is found an autumn that reminds one of the East, in a measure. The leaves turn color, the snow is seen afar off, the early morning sparkles with dry cold, but, unlike the | East, all this is in the midst of roses and under a cloudless sky. Miss Heyden de- | scribes most happily this season of | dreamy lights, brignt tints and smoky 1 distances. | Penelope Powelson has an article full of l,uve!ul hints and suggestions with refer- | ence to children who sre compelled to | wear spectacles. It is a good, common- sense talk, and parents will find much food for thought in it. The *“Oddest Cemetery in the World"” relates to a private horse burial ground, wherein monuments are erected to the memory of favorite steeds. A new and exceedingly novel practical use for bicycles furnishes the subject for an up-to-date sketch. Particular mention must be accorded a splendid picture of Sar Francisco, as viewed from the bay, by W. A. Copiter. It will bz one of the strong illustrative features of the Sunday edition. | The horse show also receives the atten- | tion it demands at the hands of the | artists and writers. It is hardly necessary lf,o enumerate further, but let it be re- marked that the children’s department is rich in contents and pictures; the fashion page gives the laiest notes on the winter ! styles; society has a complete record of its comings and goings, its hops and en- tertainments for the week past; the lovers of whist have a resume of the latest theories of the eame, prepared by an ex- pert; the editorials are vigorous and able, the book reviews faithful and conscien- tious, the telegraphic service the best, and the news contents unequaled on tte slope. Orders for Ime SuNpay CaLn should be sent in early. THE BEET-SUGAR INDUSTRY Des Moines Capital. The couvention of farmers and other Ne- braska people held recently in Grand Island resulted 1n a series of resolutions of the fol- lowing import: That the relief of farmers from the overplusof corn and wheat and low prices of the same calis for a diversity of products. The beet-sugar industry having roven profitable and promising it should be Fnumred. In view of the fact that Ameriean consumersare paying the sum of $120, 000 yearly to foreign nations for sugar which | might be produced here bLy lessening the acresge of corn and wheat, and that several countries abroad are paying liberal bounties for the protection of their beet sugar industry, the re-cnactment of the presentlaw giving & bounty to beet-producers is urgently re- quested. LITTLE GIRL'S DRESS A dainty frock for little girls of 2 to 6 years is shown here. It is designed to wear with guimpes, without sleeves, the dress itself hav. ng bishop sleeves with capelike tops. A dress of blue and white challis, with trim- mings of bands of white lace, yas 6ool and stylish for a best dress. A gown oi mixed wool of old blue and black had bands of plain blue satin, overlaid with rows of black braid. - A blue and pink gingham had bands of pink gingham embri red 1o blue, Letters From the People. ON SUPPRESSING BRYAN. ‘‘The Examiner's’ Financial Sickness and Merbid State of Mind. 70 the Editor of the San Franeiseo Call—S1R: This being Thanksgiving day it seemed meet for me asone who voted for Bryan and the Whole reform movement he represented, in- cluding not only the restoration of silver to iree coinage, but also the greater issue of Paper money by the Government only, to read the Examiner's editorial on “Thanksgiving” and see what it might suggest to the defeated of course I should, r ly desired the suc- Cess of “the Bryan movement.” Well, I have fun"m-d the editorial entitied *Thanksgiv- 1g,” and here are some of my impressions. In the second paragraph is thi; 5 1t will_hardly be expected that we shall join with President Cleveland and some of the devout Governors of Eastern States in énum- erating the result of the election Among our causes for gratitude,” I agreed witn the h::;‘:e:::: Hxld'on ‘But there are e of tnat momentous eyent in which all Americans may justly feel Joy and prige.” The first “oature’ of the ‘“‘event” mentioned, however, was the alleged “‘general expectation ubroad” that serious trouble wouid follow the election, as “it was thought thxt‘!ha beaten side might refuse to submit”; but “they have learned,” says the Examiner, that while We may be hot partisans before an election, we are all loyal Americans after- Wward,” ete. Of course I felt duly grateful that these foreigners had changed their opinion of us, and reed on for other *“features.” In the next paragraph we sre told that “we should be grateful for the gift of continued Peace.”’ reference being made to our reiations with England concerning the Venezuelan con- tention, which indicates en abrupt change of subject since no oue would consider that a ‘“feature” of the election. But the next para- graph certainly takesus back to a ‘*‘feature of that momentous event in which all Ameri- cans may justly feel joy and pride,” and in fairness to the Examiner I will give the whole of this remarkable paragrapn, because it ap- peared in & journal which claimed that it loy- ally supporied Bryan and sincerely desired his success. Itruns thus: to be thankful ‘‘And we have especial ca: for the promised return of prosrem.y. Wehave from along and cruel siegeof hard times, but the end of it seems to be in sight. Our farmers are getting better prices for their products—a thing which is not a matter of thanksgiving to the famine-stricken peasants of Indis, whose sufferings our own good for- L not make us forget. Our factories are beginuing to reopen and our idle work- men are finding employment. The morbid state of mind that has been solely responsible for our troubles is passing away. The people Wwho have worriea themselves into financial sickness have determined to be well and the determination makes them well. For this mind cure let us give thanks.” That is the paragraph in full, and if it had appeared in Bradstreet's, which may be regarded as “the business-man’s Bible, issned in weekly parts,” or in the New York Journal of Commerce or the Evening Post it would bave occasioned little surprise, though it would have been rather “raw” for even such goldbug journals; but what can be said in ex- cuse for the editorial use of such language by the Examiner twenty-uwo days after the elec- tion? Imake special referonce to these two sentences, though the whole paragraph chai- lenges the self-respect of every man who sup- ported and voted for Bryan: *The morbid state of mind that has been solely responsible for our troubles is passing away,” and “The people who have worried themselves into finan- cial sickness have determined to be well, and the determination makes them well."” It will be news of unspeakable importance to nearly one-half the peogle of our country, and to large majorities of them in some States, thatit wasa “morbid state of mind” which “is solely responsible for our troubtes,” and that free coinage of silver and money strin- gency and trusts and monopolies have no part in it, aud they cannot fail to render “thanks- giviog” that il is passing away. Let as chari- tably hope that the Examiner at once tele- graphed this news to Mr. Bryan, and that it will in some clear way soon show him that he is only in & morbid state of mind and has wor- ried himself into financial sickness and can at once get well by willing himself well, for the poor man is going rightahesd with the work o1 the campaign as a preparation for 1900, and is in fact crealing so strong a sentiment in fa- vor of perpetuating this morbid state of mind that such a staid and conservative journal as the Builetin of this City is quite upset and has been thrown into a state of hysteria over Bry- an’s success as an advocste of “treason” and “revolution,” all of which appears iz an edito- rial of yesteraay bearing the alarming title of “A Dangerous Man,” the half column of de- nunciation, \vnrnl:l&nnd entreaty closing with these stirring words: “The real need in this Nation would seem to be s campaign_for the suppression of William Jennings Bryan— short, sharp aand decisive.” Of course there are two ways of putting down Bryan. One is the Examiner meihod of assur- ing the peogle that prosperity hes returned, for our troubles all come from & morbid state of mind which is happily passing away, and hence such men as Bryan have only worried themselves into financial sickness and will soon have an access of determination to get well and then will be well. The other way of suppressing Bryan is the short, sharp and de- cisive one proposed by the Bulletin. But if it should zpelr that nearly haif of the Nation still holds with Bryan tothe doctrine advo- cated by the Examiner thirty days since a campaigu against free speech in the person of Bryan, as proposed by the Bulletin, may prove to be a worse form of revolution than any ut- terance of Bryan, and the Bulileiin and all for whom it speaks may find when too late that its own methoa of lugprmlon can be applied to itself as well as to Bryan.

BENEFITS ARISING FROM THE TRIUNPH OF SOUND MONEY. *Louisville Courier-Journal. The benefits already geined since the defeat of free siiver and free riots are enormous. The restoration of confidence is complete, and this has slready produced the following tangible results: First—The release of vast sums which had been hoarded by tne timid and the appearance of gold in current circulation. The aggregate amount of money withdrawn from employ- tainly not less than $300,000,000 or $400,- 000,000. Good judges say the total of the gold hoards alone was not less than $100.000,000. The return to daily use of the precious metal is the most striking indication of the banish- ment of alarm. Second—A phenomenal ease in the money market. This is true of every section. but, of course, is chiefly noticeable in the great finan- cial centers, such as New York, Boston and Chicago. In New York money is now freely loaned at 2)g and 3 per cent on eall, being relatively much cheaper than in London. De- iis are incressing at an sstonishing rate, mlun likely tha: the cost of loans wiil fall j still lower. The enormous advantage 6f cheap money goes hund in hand with security. The day before the election money was loaned in Wall street at 97 per cent on call, and it was a matter of sheer impossibility to Secure “time’ loans. The longer money can be placed now the better it suits the lender. Third—A compilation of dispatches pub- lished since the day of election up to yester- day shows that 572 industrial establisiments have started up aud 268 have increased their forces, wnile arrangements have been made to spend millions of dollars in new enter-" prises. Some of the plants tnat have resumed operations employ thousands of iahorers. The Cambria_Iron Works, for instance, requires a force of 7u00. It has pever had a strike and had never been shut down until forced to close some weeks ago by the currency agita- | tion. Fourth—An sdvance in wheat, corn, oats, tobacco, barley, rye, flaxseéd, potatoes and nides, which have added hundreds of millions to the aggregate wealth of farmers. The pig- iron market has also advanced, and it is no no trouble now to sell anything of value. A ready markel awails practically everything. The few Who are complaining tiat they have not yet experienced any of the benefits that were promised for a vindication of our National nonor are.invited to ponder these undoubted facts. Whiie none is so blina as those who will not see, it is impossible to un- derstand how any sane man can shut his eyes to the wonderful change that has come over the country within the past fortnight, Only those wno believed there would be & Government distribution of siver in theevent of Bryan’s election can now complain that they have not been helped by the good for- tune which has befallen the Nation. It may be months, or even a year, before their in- comes or profits will be -etuul&enln:ed, just as it may be some time before the laborer gets a permanent_job or the farmer has a new crop to sell, but ultimately the whole country Lo £ T L R, NEWSPAPER PLEASANTRY. ‘There are some men who think that woman’s proper sphere is the ball used in darning stockings.—Somerville Journal.

The Carlsbad Herald is printed in Eng- lish for the benefit of the throng of English and American visitors. It is unique in that way, being the only one of the kind in all Bohemia.
