The Native Daughters meet at Sonora and sway the State. Wherever Bryan goes he stirs up dis- sensions in his party; and rightly enough, for he is a better man to fight over than to follow any day Arizona will now begin a movement to | bring about an enlarged use of one-cent pieces on the Pacific Coast. She has struck copper ore of great richness, With the goiden key given them at Sonora th e Native Daughters can come in a body to San Francisco, open the Golden Gate and take the whole swim. When the sugar duties and the tea duties of the tariff are discussed we shall see some lively stirring in the Senate and perhaps a tempest in a teapot sure en ough, As Tom Watson’s paper denounces what it calls the “thres B's—Bryan, Butler and Bargains”—it is evident Tommy doesn’t | favor the busy bees, and prefers to act as a hornet in the camp. It is announced that Canovas will re- | main Prime Minister of Spain and Weyler | will continue to rule ali he can reach in Cubs, so the Tetuan cris's by no means | deserved the scare heads an expectant journalism gave it. i It is announced from New York that there are now on the way to this country | from Mediterranean ports 49,200 boxes of | oranges and 203,300 boxes of lemons, and | that fact should go far toward determin- ing the tariff-makers to give us better pro- tection on citrus fruits. The fact that a St. Louis man has been found drowned in his bathtub is sufficient prove the Chicago assertion that St. Louis people never bathe, but at the same time it shows they do not practice the habit with sufficient frequency to know bow to do it with safety. | | | o | The net result of the session of the Leg- islature in New York 1s the addition to the statute-books of 797 new acts, and now the oldest lawyers in the State are going to school again trying to find out whether the new laws have filled up chinks in the former statutes or riddled them with new holes. The experiment of intrusting the man- sgement of a farm of 140 acres to boys taken from the streets of New York will be watched with no little interest, and the philanthropists who are putting up their money for it will probabiy have the en- joyment of one of the best circuses of the season. The proposed tunnel under Pikes Peak to connect Colorado City with Cripple Creek is estimated to cost $20,000,000, and the projectors claim they will take out enough gold ore to pay for it, but the chances are the scheme will be another “Pikes Peak or bust” venture and will end as the former one did. The latest story from Oklahoma is to the effect that there has been unearthed a scheme devised by some Deputy United States Marshuls to rob a bank, thus prov- ing that the bank president, the cashier and the desperado are not the only people who believe the money of depositors should be put into circulation at all hazards. The fight of the goo 1 people of Sausalito against the gamblers is one that will be watched with interest on this side of the bay, for there are many here wno look | with favor on that thriving town as a good vlace for a suburban home, and who may locate there provided it is kept free from influences p rnicious to the home and to boys verging upon manhood. The festivals accompanying the unveil- ing of monuments to Washington and | Girar, closely followea by a horse show | and the opening of the Commercial Museum, have made Philadelphia this season the gayest city in the East, and as a comsequence New York and Chicago bave steadily kept their eyes averted and talked incessantly about lncal politics. Bir Charles Dilke recently said: “The present House of Commons, although the laziest that ever sat, is intellectually supe- | rior not only to any I have known but even to the Parliaments of El zabeth and | Charles I.”” The shades oi Bacon, Coke, Cecil and those of Hampden, Vane and Cromwell will now size up the present Commions and then lay for Dilke in the riext wor Id with a club. The lynching at Urbana, Ohio, cams very near being foliowed by another at Chester, Pa., on Sunday, and only the prompt action of two constables saved the culprit from the mob. It is evident from these occurrences that lynching is not pe- culiar to any section of the Union, and it may be safely said the only way to pre- yent it is to devise some system of punish- jng crime througb the medium of the | danghters feel in | 1akes a wider i | mother. | braved so many dangers and | daily military drill under a competent | OUR NATIVE DAUGHTERS. Tuolumne County and her fair city of Sonora act for all California this week in #iving welcome and doing honor to the Native Daughters, and we need have no fear of the resuit. We can count on Tuo- lumne, we are sure of Sonora. The Native Daughters will have a reception worthy of their smiles, and that is as much as could be said of any reception ever given to woman since the days when Solomon displayed all his glory for the Queen of Sheba. The annunal gathering of the Grand Parlor of Native Daughters is sn eveat of | no little importance, not only to the com- | munity of the city in which it is held, b 10 the State at large. No other common- wealth in the Union bas such an organiza- tion as this, and no other could form one | of anything like equal merit. It is in | California only that the native sons and | their heritage some- | thing more than ordinary State pride, and have been impeiled to band themselves | together for the purpose of more effectively | advancing the glory of their land and the welfare of its people. From the very nature of things the most conspicuous features of every gathering of tue Native Daughters or of the Native Sons are the parades, the banquets, the public oratory and the usual proceedings of grand celebrations. These, however, are but the decorations amid which the earnest work of the gatherings is set. The organizations exist for something more than social pleasures, They under- take the advancement of California in many ways, and there can be no question but what much has been done by them which well deserves the most cordial com- mendation of the people at large. If, however, there were nothing more in the gathering at Sonora than the assembly of so many representative California daughters, the meeting would still be a notabie and attractive one. The Califor- nia woman is no ordinary creature as things go in this world. Her equal is not to be found in any land the sun sees| as the globe turns round before it. She | res:in the affairs of her | native State than other women take in | those of their lands, and she sivesa more zenerous and stronger help wherever help is needed. Itis not difficult to see why this is so. The native daughter is in the first| lmme of descent from the pioneni The vigor, the vitality, the glowing ardor of the one is in tne| Llood of the other, and under fairer| auspices and amid more propitious su roundings the daughter achieves and realizes the excelience of society, of cul- tureand of vrosperity which the mother | toiled so hard for in the old days of wagoning across the plains and housekeeping in tents and adobes. The superb stamina and splendid beauty of California women | bave long since attractea the attention of | travelers from all parts of the world, and | it 1s now universaily recoznized that the | pioneer mother has a daughter worthy of ber and of the golden land in which she was born, Oar congratulations go to Sonora and Tuolumne on their good luck in having the Grand Parlor, nor less do they go to the Native Daughters on having such a | delightful place to meet. Rich is the her- itage of the Californians, but inall its wide variety of mountain and valley | there are no places more pleasing than | that in which the Daughters are receiving | their welcome mnow. The golden key | which has been presented to them 1s but a | symbol of the opened hearts which rejoice | in their presence, and whatever of nonor | | | | | | | | Tuolumne dozs them they may be sure will be warmly applauded through all | California. A GOVERNMENT OF BOYS. Amonz the dispatches in yesterday’s issue of THE CALL was one relating to the | establ.shment by the Industrial Colony | Associstion of New York City of a most | unique colony on a 140-acre farm near | Gardiner, N. Y. The colonists are boys | between 12 and 14 years of age, and they | have been taken from among the street- arabs of the metrovolis. The scheme is to teach the habits of thrift and industry, well #s the art of government. initial colony is in the nature of an | experiment, but should success crown the | movement, farms will be colonized in like | manner in other localities. At Gardiner | every boy will work, although none will | be compelled to do so. There will be classes in farming, carpentry and cob- | bling, and each boy will be free to choose | hisownemployment. Every lad will be an independent and self-supporting citi- | zen. For labor done 1n the classes he will | be paid in a currency modeled after the United States coin, though made of dif- fersnt metal, and out of the money earned each boy will pay for bis board and lodg- ing. He who does not work shall not eat. The wages paid shall be according to the work done, the good workman re- ceiving enough to live weil, while the boy turning out unfair work will receive just enough to live on. The farm will be run for the present on the county government system; the legis- lative power being vested in a Board of Rupervisors, whose enactments will be enforced by a Sheriff and Constable. In case a boy-offender is arrested he will be tried by a Judge and jury of the boys. Smoking and profanity will be among the crimes in the code of thecolony. The punishments will be of such a nature as not to degrade. In addition to all this there will be | boys | as This | instructor and gentle religious influences, the services being undenominational. The colony will be managed in a practical, | bus nesslike manner. Distinguished phil- anthropists are backing the movement, which will be watched with a great deal of interest. To homeless newsboys and bootblacks, Who have suffered the world’s hard knocks, such an opportunity as that afforded in the Gardiner colony will fall as a biessing indeed, and it is to be hoped that this £00d work in the canse of practical charity | will prosper and expand. | THE ELEOTRIO AGE. The announcement by Nikola Tesla, contained in THESUNDAY CALL, that he has finally worked out a device for telegraph- ing without the use of wires, naturally be- gets an eagerness in the scientific world for more definite details. It would ap- pear that we are only at the beginning of the electrical ers, and that we may at any time be prenared for fresh discoveries fully as wonderful and valuable as tho<e eiectric triumphs at which mankind has marveled during the past quarter of a cen- tury. Tesla claims that his machines will carrv messages through the earth twenty miles; that he has sent and received sig- nals with them; and that now he will make machines that will enable him as readily to telegzraph to any part of the earth. In addition to the transmission of courts in which the people will have con- fidence ana to which they wiil be willing to truste sulis of his experiments, to be sble to | secure ihe transmission of power from signals, Tesla savs he hopes, from the ro-l | shall be sold under a California | du vlace to place. Tesla’s achievements in the past have won him recognition as a genius in his sphere. The possibility of telegraphing without wires has been long a matter of discussion among scientists, among whom the belief has been that, by making use of the static electricity in earth and air, they might communicate signals by a system of regu- lated disturbanees. Tesla is very vague in his statements regarding the new discov- ery. Thus far he has not given sufficient information to base a prediction upon. We mast, therefore. wait patiently until he is ready 1o explain his devices in de- tarl, CALIFTORNIA SEED FARMS. The reference made some days since in these columns to the fact that one of the most prominent wholesale seed-dezalers of the East had declared that California was the v egetable paradise of the world and that this State was rapidly becoming the seed supnly house of the globe has at- tracted much attention. The vast extent of the seed business of this State is hardly imagined by the average Californian. Thousands of acres of land in Central and Southern California are devoted to the purpose and tbe seed farms have brought fortunes to their owners in almost every instance. The conditions of soil and climate here are more favorable to the in- dustry in question than is the case in any other part of the world. The wholesale seed-distributing busi- ness of California also has assumed im- mense proportions, and from this point great quantities of seed of nearly all varie- ties are shipped to the States and Territo- ries east of the Rocky Mountains, to South America, to Europe and to As! Large capital is here invested in such enterprisesand isdoing effective work. So large is this business becoming that it is not remote when all our product of seed shall be packed here ready for the retail trade and every ounce of California seed trade- mark, BRYAN AND THE BIG FOUR. From the camp of the Democracy of Cali- fornia cometh the noise of discord. The great men of the party no longer raise their voices in unison when the manner of receiving and entertaining their whilom commander, William Jzanings Bryan, 1s discussed, and portentous rumors are borne on the breeze from the tents of the local braves. Thare is talk of “‘obnoxious favoritism’” and ‘*‘clique control,” and all that, which means substantially that the silvery tongued “‘boy orator oi the Piatte’ has intimated his special (nay, almost ex- clusive) love for a select few among the | Democrats and silverites of the Golden Weost who shall ve privileged in all mat- ters appertaining to his visit. These few will meet and advise him and inform him as to “wbo is who'’' aua “what’s what.”" They will travel with bim when he travels up and down the State, dine with him when he dines, enjoy his smiles and his confidence, and stand about him like a body-guard when the rank and file comes trooping up to shake a hand of him. ¥or many weeks the members of the Democratic State Central Committee have been working loyally from dewy morn to iy eve with the object of insuring the brilliant politician from Lincoln, Nebr., a number of big meetings on tnis side of tue Sierras and of making him feel as happy and comfortable as poss ble dur- ing his sojonsn among us. They appointed finance and reception and entertainment committees and mapped out a programme. They exhibited enthusiasm. And all to what avail? Oniy to discover, at this late day, that they are not in the Brvan swim and that their former idol, William J., wiil come to the land by the Balboa Sea, consigned to Millionaire Charles D. Lane, W. W. Foote, Frank J. Mofliit and George for | H. Baker. The high chiefs of the State Central Committe- will have nochance to splurge; the majority of local wheelhorses will be kept outside the ropes, and, in any case, for a Democrat to get into the presence of the late darling of the Democracy he wili find it necessary to first kow-tow 10 the Big Four. The State Central Committee doesn’t haveto collect a cent. Mr. Bryan's ex- penses are already guaranteed. [t is said that Charley Lane is the “‘unknown’’ who has pungled up $5000 for the tour. If any more is wanted it will be forthcoming, but the Big Four will handle 1t, and the Big Four will see that this programme is | carried out according to their desires. 1s itany wonder there is discord in the Democratic camp? Can the warhorses be blamed if they threaten to kick off their harness? Are the State committeemen, after being thrown down and walked on, to be expected to join in and “whoop it up” some more? Verily, no, indeed. Af- fairs are mighty threatening in tneir as. pect, sofar as the California Democracy is concerned—all since the Big Four usurped control of the Bryau band-wagon and taught their party that the Big Four had the Bryan *“‘pull.” FOR INLE:ENDEN: ACIION. Fustox WITH THE DEMOCRACY WouLD BE A SURRENDER OF POPULIST PRINCIPLES. To the Editor of the San Frameisco Call—Sin: Shall the Populists in 1898 “fuse? My an- swer is emphatically “No.” Some of my rea- | sons may be thus epitomized: First—Our National platform stands for four distinerive principles—as to land, transporta- tion, money and direct legisiation. Noother party accepts them, and hence cannot make a home for Populists. This is important enough in itself to keep us alone. Second—The Bryan Democracy is wed- ded toa monstrous and wicked evil when it demands *‘coin redemption” of paper money. This is an economic folly; is illogical and un. constitutional. It suits the goldites. Third—There is no difference in vileness be- tween the two old parties—both reeking se- pulchers. How can we expect to find purity where all is putrefaction? Fourth—Both Democracy and Republican- fem think, speak and vote that iariff is the most potent of all factors in our Lnppiness, snd hen they contend abut “rates,” ignor ing the real causes of our miseries. Fifth—Republicanism stauds for private moncpoly 0! wealth, having perhaps 95 per cent of the rich as its adherents. Democracy stands for monopoly of ignorance, for (ex- cepting the negroes), ali the sodden and con- science-ridden hordes of the country are in its legions. Populism believes only in National monopolies. It demands that every voter shall b free in his conscience, looking to truth and not to another for his guidanee. Hence, Populism cannoi fina any sympathy with the domination of wealth,or of igno- rance controlled by secret tribunals, and will not submit 10 the dictation of either. Sixth—Our experience is & flaming sword of warning. In the last campaign the Damoc- v broke faith in keeping up Sewall. This crificed ne election. It courted defeat rather than to stand to the St. Louis compact. Hence it cannot be trusted, Seventh—The ranks of Populists are filled with think-rs. There are among us more men of Repub.ican of Demoeratic anteee- dents. We must look to the former party fo the great bulk of our recrulis. Republican- ism cannot bring prosperity, hence its rebel- ling adherents wiil come t0 ux if we stand alone, and will refuse to come if we unite with the Democracy. In Caiilornia there ix abso- lutely uo hope for reform in ‘fusion.” li is death and damnatios. There is no Demo- crade aspirant for Governor that can com- mand the confidence of Popul Among those already named ars the follow- ing—three already in the field.

Spadina for the warm encouragement he has been giving lately to native musical talent, by producing the pick of local compositions with the Park band. Sun- day the big crowds that gathered round | the band stand were given an opportunity of hearing two new compositions by young composers, as well as the State song, “Hail California,” and a “Humor- istic Medley”’ by Lee Johnson. The two local works that were given their first bearing yesterday were a bright mareh, “*Carnival of the Golden Gate’ by | Lebritier. and “*The March of the Stars” by Miss Gertrude R. Spellan. Quite a hit was made by the latter piece, which was full of swing and dash. Itis easy to tell when a piece makes a hit at the park. You hear it whistled afterward in the children’s playground, on the bicycle ride and round the lake. The charming mel- ody of “The March of the Stars” was well in evidence in ali these places yester- day afternoon. So pleased was Professor | Spadina with its success, that he will re- peatitas an encore next Sunday after- noou. Professor Spadina, who is an excellent master of harmony and counterpoint, ar- ranged “Tne March of the Stars” for the | orchestra. ———— JORDAN AND HAYFORD. Aggressive Litigation That Wilt Force | a Settiem nt of Their Differences. i Attorney George Hayford has made an | objection to the statement made by At-| torney William H. Jordan in Judge Bel- | cher's court last Friday touching the Knowles-Baldwin litigation. Mr. Hay- ford accuses Mr. Jordan with having in- dulged in sharp practice and says that he only took such steps as were requisite for the protection of his client. In the meantime a formal suit has been filed by William Knowles against E. J. | Baldwin and George Hayford, setting forth distinctly the allegations hinted at | by Mr. Jordan when speaking of the mat- | ler in open court. H | | Mr. Knowles said in his complaint that he did certain work for Mr. Baldwin, anu not being abie to collect the money due, he filed a lien to secure itspayment. T he complaint then alleges as follows: Thatupon the calling of said cause for trial and before the iniroduction of any testimony, plaintiff’s counsel did for the purpose of mesi- ing an objection to_piaintifl’s right o sction in said cause (No. 53,320) which said objection bad been set up in defendant’s answer, in open court, offer to reiease said claim of Iten and to satisfy the sume upon condiiion tnat defendant, E. J. Baldwin, shouid pay to plain- tff the said sum of $1775, and for the purpose of making said offer good as a lexal proposition | said counsel did then and there in the presence of the court and defenaant, George Hayiord, produce and exhibit to E. J.

This suit will allow the aitorneys to t on their differences in open court. i e S REGULAR ARMY NOTES, The Next Post Contest—There Will Not Be Any Increase of Troops at the Presidio. Everything at the Presidio post during past week has been quiet aud there has not been anything going on outside of the ususl routine of drill and guard mount.

It is stated tnat there wiil not be uny trans fer of troops for some time 10 come from one station to anouher, fur the reason that the Gov ernment has no means with waich to pay for transportation. That being the case, th will not be any increase of troops at the Pre- sidio, as it was expected there would be.

Per Cent Will Be Sent to the Appraiser's Store. Colonel Juckson, the new Collector, has modified the operations of the new tea laws so as mot to work a hardship upon the local importers of tea. Under the new law 10 per cent of all teas brought into this port must be sent to the Apprais- by an official tea- It seems that the more northern ports—Seattle, Tacoma and other points— have been making a spirited competition for the tea trade landing and but for Colonel Jackson’s moaitieation they might have taken a!l this trade away from the port of San Franeisco. Local tea imporiers have called upon the Collector and repre-ented that tie transier of 10 per cent oi their importa- tions to the Appraiser’s store would work a hardship upon them. For example, one firm will import 25000 cases. The members siate that if the law is followed to the strict letter they will land their goods at one of the northern poris and ship them to the East over the Canadian Only 2 | Railwa Ratber than have such large importations withdrawn from this port Collector Jackson decided that 2 per cent would b sufficient to be sent to the Ap- praiser’s store, and this seems to be satis- 1actory to local tez im porters.

Freeman master in chancery i0 hear and tzke testi- mony in the case of the Southern Pacific against the Railroad Commissioners.
