Nobody will trust those fellows, The speed with which progress In tariff legislation has been made in this Congress is almost without precedent in our his- tory, and thus another act of statesman- ship has been accomplished to which the Republican party can point with pride. The manner in which our railroads have nandled the crowds coming to the Chris- tian Endeavor convention 1s a proof they could handle visitors to a Presidential convention with equal success, and we ought to bave one just to give them a trial, Okl!ahoma claims a population of over ,000, and is demanding admission to the Union, probably from the fear that if she does not get a State Government, 50 as to assure home oflices for Lome people, a good many of them will skip out before the next National censu Five Minnesota Indians died from the effects of drinking a patent medicine which they mistook for whisky, and not a single Minnesota paper will publish the brand of medicine for fear probably of givine it free ad. for those who wish a sure cure for all the ills of life. The author of *‘Silver Threads Among the Gold” is reported to have been ar- restea in New York on a charge of aban- doning his wife. He no longer agrees with the fellow who said, “Give me the right to make the songs of a nation and I care not who makes the laws.” To a reporter who asked him to take part in a symposium on “How to make money,” Mr. Armour replied: *Young man, put it down that the Armours don’t know auything except how to make sau- sages, and that they never answer fool questions.” The reply didn’t get into the symposium, but it 1s a good enough an- swer to the question about money-making, The only effect of ihe tax recentiy im- posed in Pennsylvania upon the employ- mentof foreigners who are not naturalized has been to induce them to take out nat- uralization papers. Of course men who are persuaded into citizenship by taxing them will not have a very high regard for the politics of the country, and Pennsy)- vania has simply added to the number of ber purchasable voters. 1 | t has found | claration that he | | FATHER CLARK.

It is the vast reach of the tonishing yield from the seed he sows, no matter how seemingly obscure the man may be, nor how obscure the spot where he plants the seed, provided only it is the right kind of seed and the times are propitious | for its spreading. i When Father Clark, as he is called, organized the first little band of Christian Fndeavorers in the small church of an unimportant tows what a surprise it would tian principles.

But when we behold the marvelous evolution of this Endeavor move- | ment from its first humble beginnings every humble toiler may take heart again with | the faith that in the performance of the seemingly trifling duties of the day he ‘may | be touching scms electric button, as it were, | set in motion a far-reaching mechanism for fruitful idea. | and strivers after great deeds, if the million but one man strove. that will by the action of spiritual law good.

So it is with a multitude of thiakers try to do the best and think the best they are capable of there are a million times as many chances of great achievements as if CONVENTION TRAFFIC. The first of the many successes which we may confidently expect from our | efforts to entertain the Christian Endeavor Convention has been accomplished by the | railrouds. They have succeeded in bring- | ing to this City a number of visitors large enough to coustitute a considerable army, and they have done so with a degree of dispatch and excellence which merits no i little commendation from the general | public. The railroad managers understand bet- ter than any one else the magnitude of | the work they have performed, and some | of them have very justly indulged in ex- nitation over the successful manner in which they accomplished it. The general passenger agent of the Rio Grande West- | ern announces that between the morning | of July 1 and midnight July 5 his road handled and delivered to the Southern Pacific Company at Ogden about 14,000 Christian Endeavor passengers, and had | at that time eleven more trains in sight | which would raise the number of passen- gers to more than 15,000. This is the traffic handled by one of the | many roads irom the Bast which connect with the transcontinental lines that lead to San Francisco. 1t isestimated that the | | total number of visitors brought to the City within a week will exceed 30,000. | This enormous traffic is in addition to the | reguiar business of the roads, and it is | significant of the general excellence of our | raiiway system that the ofiicial of the Rio | Grande Western was able to say that dur- | ing the whole rush on his road *“we have | |not had a wheel off the track and our | trains have moved over the line with not to exceed over three hours’ delay in any | instance.” | It will ba remembered that objections | have been made to San Francisco as a | National convention city on the ground that the raiiroads could not handle the large crowds which would desire to at- tend. This objection was urged Wwith | great vehemence last year when an effor | was made to bring the Republican Presi- | dential convention to this City. The suc- cses which has just been uchieved by the railroads affords a comp ete and sufficient answer to any such objection in the future. i | Itisnot likely that more people from | | the East would desire to attend a preat po itical National convention than have | come lo the Curisiian Eadeavor meeting, | and since our roads have with so littie iriction and with almost no delay brotght | the 30,000 people to this meeting, when such large numbers were unlovkea for, it goes without ing that they could easily handle any crowd that would be likely to come to a National cenvention of either of the great parties. The refutation of this old chargeagainst our railroad facilities is a matter of no small importance fo the State. Even if we never get a Presidential conyention in this City it will stili be an alvantage to us to have demonstrated our abil- ity to bring large numbers of people across the continent and to fitly enter- tain them when they arrive. We have therefore gained something already from tie Christian Endeavor convention, and have good reason for rejoicing that it came | to us. | e A BAD TANGLE. It is reported from Sacramento that authorities versed in the scioollaws of the State maintain that nearly 7000 teach- ers of the public schools will be unable to draw any pay for their services until the next session of the Legisiature. The opinion is founded upon the law which provides that no warrants shall be drawn in favor of any teacher unlesssuch teacher has faithfully performed all the duties prescribed. One of the prescribed duties is that each teacher must keep a State school register. These registers, it ap- pears, can be obtained only from the State Printin: Office, and since that cffice has been closed the registers cannot be fur- nished, the teacbers cannot perform the duty required, and, therefore, cannot re- ceiye their pay. Ii this opinion is well founded we are confronted by a bad tangle. On the face of it nothing can be more absurd than that a teacher should be deprived of pay- ment for service when the State has not provided him with the means of perform- ing that service, No one should be made to suffer for the wrong of another, and if our teachers can be deprived of their pay by reason of negligence or malfeasance on the part of a State official it would seem that every public servant could be de- prived of his pay by the enactment of some Jaw compelling him to use a State blank which the State might neglect to furnish. Such & mdthod of paying old debts would open a very easy way for the prac- tice of economy. The State could dis- pense with the payment of pretty nearly 2ll official salaries by some simple require- ment of the kind. Itisto be hoped that our law, even by the most technical con- struction, does not support such a practice as that. The schooiteacher, no more than any one else, can berequired by law to per- form an impossibility, and if State school registers are not furnished by the State, it is clearly impossible for the teacher to ful- fill the statute which calls for the use of them. It is announced in the report from Sac- ramento that the subject has been brought to the attention of the Attorney-General, 83 and if so, 1t is to be hoped he will see his way clear toward cutting the Gordian knot of the tangle, if he cannot untieit. Cali- fornia is greatly indebied to the services of her public school teachers. [lhese men and women amply deserve the payment of their labor, and it should not be delayed by reason of quibbles in the law or because of failure on the part of higher State of- ficials. We bave seen the City of San Francisco deprived by legal technicalities of the right to pay its creditors, and that is as much of that kind of thing as the State can stand. If there is any techni- cality in the way of paving schoolteach- ers the sooner it is removed from the stat- ute-book the betuer. THE GOLD CONVENTION. The meeting of the International Gold- mining Convention in Denver, Colo., isa movement of great importance in the malerial world and may be counted on to produce good results. A large production of gold is a most potent force in starting the wheels of all other industries. and as one of the objects of the gold convention is to induce investments in mining the precious metal it may result in more money and the large vprosperity that plentiful money brings with it. As Governcr Adams pointed out in his speech to the convention, civilization has not yet advancad far enough to find any | practical substitute for gold and silver as money metals, and according to theirr abundance has civilization advanced. Gold is to trade what the life-blood is to the body, aud all prosperity stagnates when the tlow is weak and restricted. He stated that it was not merely accident | that made the wonderful progress in busi- ness and intelligence which foliowed the pillage of the gold and silver of Mexico and Peru and the discovery of the precious metals in Australia and California, but it was the operation of positive economic laws. It is noteworthy that the fact was made clear, with assurances of perfect informa- tion on the subject, that gold-mining when conducted as a legitimate busines: is profitable. It is mainly those who go iuto it without the exercise of the ordi- dary busicess pradence that characterizes other investments who lose heavily and so give gold-mining a bad name, as if it were a species of gambling. 1t is further urged that never was a better time for profitable investments in gold-mining, as the cost of production is iess than ever before. In Idaho, it was said, there i3 a mill which reduces the ore for §1 50 per ton, and there are now rail- roads so nearly everywhere that the old serious problem of freightsis largely elim- inated. With these inducements held out 1t is to be hoped that much idle capital will be brought out of its hiding and invested in producing these money metals, which will give a stimulus to ail other productions. Hoarding money when there is an oppor- tunity for reasonably profitable invest- ment is a crime when we consider how the whole community suffers in conse- quence of it. 1t is gratifying to note that this con- vention appointed a committee to promote the appointment of a secretary of mines and mining with a seat in the Cabinet. This is a measure which TuE CALL and the miners of California have long advo- cated, and it is pleasing to have the po- tent aid in its accomplishment given by the convention at Denver. THE TARIFF CONFERENCE. Now that the tariff bill nas passed the Senate we enter upon a new phase of the controversy. Itisno longer a question of bow much opposition the free-traders will make to the measure, but of an agreement between the protectionists of the House and those of the Senate. The issue at present is involved in uncertainty. Ac- cording tosome authorities the House will readily concur in the many amendments made by the Senate, and according to others it will insist upon the schedules of the original bill and force the Senate to recede from the alterations it has made. In its last analysis the issue depends upon the defree of discipline which pre- vails in the Republican party. If the leaders can act together the conference will not continue long before a basis of mutual agreement is reached. If they cannot act together we :hall have a repe- tition of the wrangie which took place be- tween the Democrats of the Senate and those of the House over the Wilson bill. This being the case, the country has little reason to doubt the speedy .enact- ment of the law. The Republican party differs from the Democratic party i many respects, but in none is the differ- ence more notable then in the degree of harmony which enables the party to act together in every crisis. The Democratic leaders have failed at every critical period of their history in recent years by reason of their inability to agree. In Congress, in their National conventions and sven in their State and county conventions their meetings have resulted in dissensious and faction fights instead of the adoption of a definite policy ot procedure. With the Republicans, on the other hand, every crisis has served to bring the leaders nearer together, to rally the rank and file in closer loyalty to the party or- ganization and to sirengthen the party as the governing factor of the Nation. It is not likely that this crisis will result dif- ferently from those which have preceded it, and therefore we may confidently ex- pect the conference committee to reach a speedy agreement, and report the tariff bill in a shape which will be acceptable to ‘both houses in time for it to become a law before the close of the coming week. By accomplishing this task the Repub- lican party will have achieved a victory almost unparalleled in our history. It will have drawn up a complete new tariff within a time much shorter than was re- quired by any preceding Congress, More- over there is reason fo believe the tariff it enacts will be so satisfactory to the people of the Union and of every industry that tariff agitations will cease to be a part of our politics. This will be an accomplish- ment to which the Republicans in future conventions may justly point with pride, ana will go far toward winning for the party that public confidence which will retain it in power for the rest of this gen- eration, AN EPI ODE.
