Fifiy cenis per monih for summer months. e Our Eastern visitors will feel at:home in Ban Francisco if this ‘weather continues. Ohio Democracy stands pat on the sil- ver plank, but kicks“over everything else in the platform The hot weather is disagreeable in some respects, but as it puts sugar into the growing fruit it adds'to ‘the sweetness:of life. The.Christian Endeavor Convention will be 8o large that our hospitality will have. to be even more. expansive than usual:to take It all'in. If Lihoukalani would:work as hard for 8 living as she is now working against the annexation of Hawaii'she would be in no need of a pension Congressmen of. all parties. should give thanks to Speaker Reed for preventing them from overworking’ themselves dur- ing the hot session. Bryan comes to California at the right time to-zet a ‘hearing for the silly season has_begun and ihe people have lots of time to indulge idle curiosity. Now that the dry season has come camp- ers in the woods should be very careiul of fire. - It doesn’t pay to burn a square mile of territory in order to broil a trout. The prediction that the tariff-bill wounld be enacted in June has gone to join. the predictions that it would be enacted in May. The prophets are now fixing a date in July. The purple and gold ‘of-the Christian Endeavorers will blend well with the. red, white and blue of the National colors; and. the town will look as if ‘it had .a carnival under way. Weyler has marched to the fiela all his troops with the intention to- give the Cu- bans a death blow; but by the time he gets ready to strike the. Cubans will -be” some- where else, g Rt The announcement thiat the southern papers have begun agsin to discuss State division is an evidence that the silly sea- son has returned, but fortunately it never lasts long on this coast. It was unnecessary for the: Ohto Demo- crats to declare in their platform ‘theirin- tention to make the campaign a:strictly money fight. With Millionaire McLean as candidate for the Senate it could hardly be otherwise. A motion in the Senate to impose s tax of §100 on each immigrant to the United States was supported only by Quay, Till- man_ and Butler, one Republican, one Democ-at and one Populist. What sort of combination is that? The rapture with which the English and Scotch members of Parliament re- ceived the announcement that the Queen would be gled to have them ana their wives call on her at Windsor was funny. No wonder the lrish members laughed. The Chinese who were admitted to take part in the exposition at Nashville have begun to sneak away from that city and scatter over the country. As they did the same thing at Atlanta it is now time for the Government to keep its eyes open and watch the rascals. The District Attorney in New York has decided that it will be lawful for Fitzsim- mons and Sullivan to deliver a lecture on pugilism and illustrate the points, and we may therefore expect the talkings of the champions to be done in a hall hereafter instead of in the saloons, The announcement of yesterday that one of the largest bicycle manufacturing companies of the country had determined to cut prices was to many people the most important news of the day. Those who have had no wheels before will have them now, and before long the tramps may be scorching. oLy G The fact that upward of 5000 delegates attended the Democratic Convention in Ohlo would be surprising were it not for the well-known lack of confidence which exists in the party. Inthe prevailing dis- trust each Democrat insists on going to State conventions in order to watch the other fellows. - Considerable attention is being given just now to the intellectual life of servant girls in London and some extraordinary developments have been brought to light concerning it. A recently published letter from a chambermaid says: *“Once y week we have a mutual improvement class in the kitchen instead of taking a night out or inviting soldiers or policemen to talk nonsense to us. We have done Darwin and Huxley and are now going through Herbert Spencer. The cook at the next house took a third vprize for Latin at the Polytechnic, although she learned it all between making up the dishes for dinner, and the housemald is considered by the University Extension lecturer to be well up in Euclid.” Why shouid British girls wish admission to the universities when they can do that well in the kijchgn? EXPOSING A CROW. The people of - California ‘are too busily enigaged “each in' his own work: to pay much attention to the vanity or.thé boast- ing of otbers, ' Bhooting. folly as it flies is an occupation 1 which. no one employs much® of ‘his time or energy. Itisonly. when the vanity or the -boasting becomes .| public. nuisance that-we turn to’it; and take: a pot-sbot at it in much’the same spirit that-we throw.a brick at sonie over- | fiance:aisturb the neighborhood. The Ezaminer ‘of yesterday gave us an examiple of that boasting, which is'a pub- lic nuisance.. Spreading something like a ‘pezcock tail, gaudy with a thousand fakes, spotted with scandals, stained - witn ‘inde- cencies; and:. freuked " like . a- monkey gar- mented for a sidesuow, it uttered a raucons roar- of self-gloritication as nerve-wearing: as the sereech of the whang-doodle'in the mountains of Hepsidam. Such vanity is pernicious ‘to- the people who may “be deceived by 1t, and therefore wiiile it may not. be."advisable to kill the. thing, for there must be a newspaper for foolsin this as in other towns, itis imperative. to shoot the stolen feathers off and show the true nature of the bird. Chortling in its folly the Framiner had theimpude o claim . that it leads the pressof this City; and that -what it.origin- ates: others “imitate. ~We: cannot allow this. boast-- to. ‘pass .. unresbuked - on the. ‘very. eve _of ' the Christian. "En- | deavor - ‘convention, “for- “the ~offensive- | nesy lies ‘in “the ‘fact that’ the Eramener exemplifies ‘thut degeneracy which is the corraption: of journalism. -Good “people shut it from their ‘homies, and more than one ‘public library has ‘excluded it from theirreading-rooms.- Itisaninsuit io the City to hold 'the Iraminer up 88 an. ex- emplar. ~ It:is a libei -to: accuse another papec.of following its ead o’ imitating its style. ‘There'is not & paper in-the State charged with' copying the 'Ezaminer that would ' not'- indignantly: repudiate” the charge as. the invention. of .a malicious and lying enemy. The' Ezamiiier has- originated nothing. Even its corruption came from:cantagion with the lowest'class of New York papers. | Tt has ‘been the imitator: ol a depravity Imore ingenious "than its own. A New. | York newspaper sent a woman through the slums to see how often ‘she would be insulted.. ‘The Eraminér copied the ‘‘en- terprise.”” ~ A New York newspaper senta woman -to: fall -on ‘the street in a feigned fainting. fit. The Eraminer imitated : the ‘“‘enterprise.’’. A New York paper ‘sent.a man to fall from a-ferry-boat to make a sensation.” “The ~Ezaminer repeated the “enterprise.” -All its:sensations. are-sec- ond-hand and stale. Though ‘the number of ‘Ezaminer freaks may be ‘counted by -the thousand, it has |not:-had one that was: novel.. -All its originality has been confined to its tele- graphic. columns. It has'invented dis- patches from the Emperor 6f China and other dignitaries, but ‘even’ then it was unable ‘to invent anything new for the dignitaries to. say. During the war be- tween Greecs and Turkey it published columns of so-called “delayed dispatches’ which had appeared in THE CALL a week before. It has borrowed, stolen, imitated, | copied right and left, but most. of its tak- ings have been from the New York paper which' originated freak journalism ana which continues to lead the. Eraminer a reeling dance through the slums of vice and the haunts of cr.me. THE CALL always set the example of a clean paper, bright and newsy, and when it came into the hands of the present management the Examiner for a long time imitated it. The ‘Eraminer copied THE CaLL headlines, THE CALL method of giv- ing prominent placs to coast news, and it |'followed THE CALL'S lead in getting East- |-ern dispaiches. For atime it lpoked as if the Ezaminer Was' going to be a decent |'paper; and we publicly compilmented Mr. Hearst on his work: Thena change came. The Eraminer began to follow New York models: instead. of those of THE CALL and the resuls is a carrion crow freaking it in peacock plumes. "It is necessary to ‘shoot it, “For the sake of the City we cannot permit it to deceive the Christian Endeav- orers. THE OLD TRIOK. A dispatch from Washington in yester- day’s CALL stated that information : has reached the Treasury. Department that large numbers of Chinese admitted as participants in the Tennesser Exposition are - clandestinely leaving Nashville for San Francisco, Sacramento, 'St." Louis, New York ‘and other cities, thus evading the spirit' and - the letter of - -the law authorizing their admission. A° -count was made recently of the: number now employed at the exposition, and it was found:that 117 were miss ng. This is one of the certain resulis of sus- pending the immigration and exclusion laws every time an ‘exposition of -a Na. tional -character is'held anywhers in this country. THE CALL discussed this matter at length some weeks ago, and showed how the frequent suspensions 6f ‘the ex: clusion act for the purpose of allowing the employes of foreign nations'to come in temporarily in order to arrange and take care of foreign exhibits made our re- striction laws a dead letter, and only served to augment the ranks of cheap labor in the United States. At the Atlanta Exposition the very same thing occurred. A horde of Chi- nese laborers came in under the *“sus. pension,” and not one of them returned to the Orient. 1t is not their intention togo back when they once enter our ports. The United Btates is a land of milk and honey for them. They come here to un- derbid white labor and to make worse the American workingman’s condition, which we shouid bend our efforts to remedy. The Chiness ‘‘participants” in the Nashville Exposition will remain here. Next year comes the Omaha Exposition, and a thousand more Chinese will come in under the .act of ‘‘suspension,” and they will come to stay. This has always been the case, and it is high time that Congress took steps to correct the evil. Better to shut out the Oriental exhibits and keep the exclusion act in force every hour of the day and every day in the year, -OARELESS ~ OAMPERS. The extensive fire which occurred Tues- day afternoon in the San Joaquin foot- hills, near Burson, and which is believed to have been started through the careless- ness of campers, should be a warning to all parties who may be enjoying the sum- mer slowly - traversing picturesque re- ions, sleeping in tents and cooking in the open ‘air, to take the-trouble always to extinguish- the fire before departing from a locality. - The grass and the woods are now very dry, and any lack of. precau- tion in regard to campfires may result in most serious consequen ces. 3 The town of Burson was saved from de- struction only by desperate efforts, and the fire in question burned the hills. bare of their chaparral and greasewood.fora distance of many miles.

The report echoes what this' paper has -said repeatedly, *“‘that these unlicensed -lottery schemes: are the most perfect swindling institutions in ex- istence, for the buyer gets absolutely noth- ing that ‘represenis: valae - for -his money and has no recourse in law for his loss.” .. So far'as the committeée which made the investigation -could -ascertain ‘‘there has very rarely been money paid to the holder of any winning ticket, the general agents as_a rule declaring all such .as are pre- sented to be counterfeit or defective ana void.” : THE CALL' recently showed -how nearly 500 capital-prize tickets had been sold arid rejected one month, and over fifty win- ning numbers sold and declared ‘“‘counter- feit” the next month, while ‘evidence was produced to prove ‘that. all these tickets were issued by the same -combination of swindlers, K Hb The efforts of ‘the committee to locate and identify the active agentsin the busi- ness were without result, ‘“owing to. the clandestine methods adopted -in conduct- ing their affairs.”’ - When the committee visited the: ‘lottery ‘agents, who boldly advertise as such; it ‘was ‘told .that these agents . were: merely' “‘bankers, ‘paying money to order in the usual way." Evi: dence sufficient ‘to base legal action upon could not-be obtained. i One . after- another the grand' jurie bave *Yinvoked the'aid of the authorities to suppress the traffic,”! but “without visi- ble effect.’” % The thieving game can be killed :in' one way only, it seems. The Grand Jury com- mittee again seconded the oft-expressed opinion of this paper when it.set forth the view that thie people:in -general - ‘‘are-the direct csuse of these lottery schemes, and if their support was witharawn the estab- lishments would cease to exist.” NEW RULES OF THE SEA, To-day:.the new rules of the road form- ulated by the great maritime powers will go into" operation.on. all: the high seas. These . international 'rules define more clearly than has -ever been done before the preciutions which ust be scrupu- lously observed to prevent disaster, and enforce. more- “accurate and - scientific methods of safeguarding life and property at sea. The new rules will require more mental effort-and watchiulness than the old, and ‘there will be less liability of collisions. In regard to the screening of sidelights the new rules provide that screens shall now, as beretofore, be fixed so as to pre- vent the:red and green lights from being visible across the bow of the ship. . The helm signals proposed at the Interna- tionral Washington Marine Conference in 1889 are retained and incorporated ia the new regulations. ‘The new fog signals are important, and it is opined that they will serve to reduce considerably the number of collisions. While the new rules may need amending in some instances they are generally ad- mitted to. be a decided improvement over former rules, and the fuct that they are in force will give a feeling of better security to those who do business on the deep, and be a fresh encouragement to commerce between the nations. It should be particularly observed. that the ‘new rules are ‘applicable not only on the open. ocean, but also ‘in-all waters. connected therewith navigable by sea- going vessels,"" except. in . waters. where local rules are in force: A JOINT LEOTURE. The lecture platiorm is about to receive two notable acquisitions from the profes- sional world in.the persons of those dis- tinguished exponents.of the Marquis of Queéensberry’s favorite science—Mr. John Lawrence Sullivan, lale of Boston, and Mr. Robert Fitzsimmons, recently of Car- son. ~These gentlemen will deliver what may be termed a joint'lecture next Mon- day evening in New Ycrk.: Their theme will be *“The Manly Art of Sell-defense,’” accompanied, it is- presumed; by 'a num- ber.‘of practical demonstrations ‘of the salient points. The reform. wave ‘seems to have en- gulied New York: completely. 'This is a consummation devoutly ‘to be: wished, anyhow. The. fistic debate between Mr. Peter Maher and Mr. Thomas Sbarkey a short while ago was {raught with so many ungentle, even sanguinary features, that the police of ‘the Eastern metropolis are determined to prevent all- further discus- sions:of ‘that ‘character which threaten likewise to-culminate in reckless displays of temper. A joint’ lecture, Lowever, is much different. = Here there is no’ proba- bility of any disregard .of 'the rules of sirict aecorum. & It were difficult to find two other gen- tlemen so thoroughly well versed in the subject above mentioned as Messrs. Sulli- van and Fiizsimmons. The police of New York are evidently cultured as well as discreet. -The daysof vulgar slogging and brutal knock-out blows have passed away back in New York., When Mr. Fitz- simmons turns to the people and an- nounces that he will proceed to enlighten them on the scheme of the solar-plexus blow and to exemplify its effects on a sub- ject the police wili doubtless smile ap- provingly when the . subject is carried out to a hospital on a shutter. This would be simply an illustration. If John L. should furnish an example of how he came to be dubbed’champion long years ago and in- cidentally drive his colecturer, Robert, through the ropes, the police would regard it in the same light as they would a humorous lecturer’s *good hit.'’ It is a big thing for the age we live in. that “scientific lectures’ are knocking pugil- ism off its pedestal.
