COMMUTERS AS PUBLIC OFFICIALS ] The Question Has Been Forced Into Municipal Politics. A Campaign Scheme That Mer- chants Are Anxious to Trace to Its Source. Attempt to Create Sympatby by an Assumption of Something That Is Not. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broaaway, Feb. 19. } A feature which has always been more or less prominent in local politics has been brought forward at this time ina very definite manner. It relates to the opposition against business men of San Francisco who reside in Oakland being elected to municipal offices. During the past few days an anonymous circular has been sent to every promiuent citizen of Oakland regarding this oppo- sition. The circular pretends to set forth that if this opposition be not withdrawn the 4800 commuters who reside here but draw their salaries in San Francisco will be led to change their residence, It1s very evident that the circular has been sent out in the interest of a few can- didates who are “‘commuters.”” One of these is Seth Mann, the Democratic canai- date for Mayor, who is a San Francisco attorney, and the other B. C. Cuvellier, who is on the Republican ticket for Coun- cilman at large. The circular states tbat the commuters are “clanoish and know that they are a class unto themselves,” and the warning is given out that “if they are discriminated against the wiole army of commuters, men and women alike, wiil be antagonized.” ““More than this,” it says, “‘the commu- ters, knowing as they do how much they contribute to the support and welfare of Oakland, feel that they havea rightto representation in administering the al- fairs of the city. They demand it as their right and will not be denied. The Osakland commuter cannot hold an elec- tive municipal office in San Francisco, but every American citizen feels he has the inherent right to aspire to political | Lonors in the city of his home, and he wili not surrender that right to the ca- price or prejudice of any clique. The Oakland merchant would do well to think | it over twice before he concludes to dis- | criminate politically against the very class ol people who contribute so largely to his own support.” Leading members of the Merchants' Exchange and the Board of Trade are heartily condemning this method of cam- paigning and assert that it is a cheap method of attempting to divert votes to its authors. Reference is made to tke fact that one of the most active and useful Mayors that Oukland ever had, George C. Pardee, is a San Francisco oculist. Now, however, that the Mayor is a member of the Police and Fire commissions and Board of Works and should attend on an average about one meeting a day the ar- zument in favor of electing men to that is office whose business somewhat strengthenea. SMOTHERED HER BABE. The Child of Mrs. Stephen Keno of North Berkeley Dies by Her Side. BERKELEY, CaL, Feb. 19, — Mrs. Stephen H. Reno of 1731 Virginia street, North Berkeley, sccidentally smothered to death her five-day-old babe gthis morn- ing. The child had been nursing, and during the period the mother fell asleep and rolled over on the infant in such a way asto cut off its breathing. When in this city is A fow days ago the Supervisors made an | Mrs. Reno awoke she was horrified to find app ropriation to be used under the direc- tion of the Merchants’ Board of Trade for the purpose of cir- culating 10.000 copies of a volume entitled cts and Figures of Alameda County.” Each of these books will bear the im- print of the authorization of tne Board of Supervisors and will be accepted as relia- ble. It contains more matter comviled in amore pleasant manner than anything of the kind yet published in this city. It is bandsomely illustrated, entirely innocent of all advertising matter and bears out perfectly its title. When the Endeavorers are here several thousand of these volumes will be placed in their hands, and by this means facts and figures of Alameda County will be carried into thousands of places where they will be most useful, for 1t is every- where acknowledged that the very best elements of social, commercial and re- ligious life are represented by that body. M'MULLIN MOVED. He Did Not Refuse to Pay His Oam paign Assessment, OAKLAND, CAL, Feb. 19.—Dr. D. A. McMullin, Republican nominee for School Director from the Fourth Ward, has with- drawn, and conseqyuently there will be no Republican candidate for School, Director rom that ward, A few days the Republi- can City Central Committee published their ticket, with a blank opposite the Fourth Ward School Director. Secretary Bisbop stated that this was done because McMullin refused to respond to the cam- paign-fund_assessment. To-day the sec- retary received a letter from Dr. McMul- lin, in which he said that, having changed bis residence from the Fourth to the Sev- enth Ward, be cannot be elected. He de- nies very indignantly that the assessment had anything to do with bis withdrawa! As matters now stand, Dr. McMullin’s name will be on the printed ballot, but every vote for bim will bea vote wasted. 1t is too late now to make any changes, the legal time for so doing having elapsed 8 week ego.

So far as is known the author of the lines referred to in the student journal has not been summoned before the fac- ulty for an explanation, but his ears must have fairly burned all day long because of tne reflection of the scorching which he intended to give the professors. The fac- uliy in general regard his reference ta them as a plece of puerility born of ig- norance. In fact the maiter has notso far been regarded seriously. —_—— STUDENTS TO CELEBRATE, Next Friday Is the Day Set for the Jubilee at the State University. BERKELEY, Cavn, Feb. 19.—The stu- dents and faculty of the university are planning for a celebration in honor of the passage of the “lcent tax bill,” which will increase the income of the institution in the neighborhood of $120,000 annually, under the existing valuation of property in the State. To fistingly celebrate the success of the university, next Friday afternoon will be given over as a holiday, when the student cadets will parade in honor of the Gover- nor and legisiators, Bpeeches will be made in the gymnasium by the faculty and prominent alumni, and'a general love feast will take place afterward. President Elston of the Associated Stu- dents was in coplerence with President Kellogg to-day, outlining plans for the celebration. At the request of Governor Budd, it was decided to set next Friday afternoon aside as the date for the festivi- ties, since then it would be possibie for nearly all the members of the Legislature to be present, which would not be the case if held earlier in the week. Lieutes ant Winn has given his consent to the postponement of regular drill from next | | | Thursday afterncon until Friday, when Lh?dgruud review of the battalion wiil be eld. It is proposed to have a special train run down from Sacramento with the legislators, and that they be metat the derot by a detachment of cadets, given a military salute and escorted in honor to the campus. Following the review will be the exercises in the *‘gym,” when addresses are expectel to be made by Governor Budd, President Kellogg, President Wil liam R. Davif of the Alumini Association, Regent J.

L. G. Kaufman of Junesn is down here on a mission to the commerecial bodies to secure their sup- port, and he has received it. In speaking of the situation up there and its needs, he | says: | We want a delegate in Congress who shall | be elected by our own people; & man who is | thoroughly conversant with our needs and | who can be of service to us in getting ex g | 1aws changed and new ones introduced.

All k of the Govern- ment is to treat us fairl give us the same | 1aws as are given to any other portion of its | domain. The prohibitory law pertaining to the im- portatiou, manufacture and sale of liquors is | one of them. This law was passed many years | ©£0, AN 11s purpose was to prevent Indians | from obtai fquor. At the time the law | was passed it operated splendialy and un- doubtedly was y useful in preventing | liquor from com! be hands of Indians. | To-day it has exactly the opposite effect. | Liquor is smuggled into and soid in the Ter- | ritory from all quarters. We want this law | repealed and in place of it & law enacted hich permits the sale of liquor with a high | license and binding restrictions. It will thus give us u class of people engazed in that busi- neas, who are thoroughly responsible and re: | liable, and who will not sell liquor to any | others than whites. As it is now we have too | many saloons aud some of them do not hesi- | tate to sell liquor to the natives. All good, law-abiding citizens of Alaska are very mucn opposed to any liquor being sold to Indians, | and courts and juris have in every instance infiicied the most severe punishment upon offenders when convicted. | If the Government would place s high | license upon this business, a very considersbie | revenue would be derived; while, on the other | hend, the liquor sold would be bought in | American territory, whereas it is now almost | exclusively bought and emuggled in irom British Columbia.

All weask is for the Government to give to us the same !and laws as are given to other portions of the Union.

OAKLAND, Cav., Feb. 19.—The Federal Labor Union held its weekly meeting this evening. Quite an animated discussion arose over the political situation in Oak- land, and the question of indorsing candi- dates for the coming municipal election was warmly debated pro and con. It was finally resolved that in view of the fact that so many different Indorsements by so-called labor leagues and poiitical piece clubs had been made, this sort of in- dorsement had become a stench in the nostrils of the laboring people and the citizens at laree, and to escape the accusa- tion that might be made that the Federal Labor Union was in line with any such organizations it was the unanimous sense of the Federal Labor Union that no in- dorsement of any set of candidates be made. —_—— Want the Exposition.

PORE IMAGINATION Keeps Some Feople Il Many people imagine they can do things which they cannot; this is particularly true of hubits like the tobacco or coffee habit. A person addicted to either of these habits may be one of such construc- tion that the article used is poisonous,to him, but they imagine they can use coffee (for instance) without any bad effe “thousands of people do,”’ t So the week feeling or stomach trouble, or headache, is charged one day to the hot sun; the next day, taking pains to avoid the’ sun, the old trouble shows up again, S0 as lomg as it is not the sun “it must be something I have ea , it can’t be coffee.’’ Then follow some tests on diet, and still the trouble continues; fevery known reason will be thought of and experimented with, but they will not leave off the coffee, for they like it too weil. To such it may be suggested that matters be looked squarely in the face. If you keep oun with little ails caused by some unnatural cause, you will surely come down sick unless the active cause is removed. Coffee contains poisonous alkaloids in small quantities which can be withstood by a perfecily healthy adult, but which seriously affect those who are a little below par physicaily, or ouildren.
