Repeatedly, for vears, it insisted that the island climate was unfit for white men; that white labor there was impossible; that the water was unfit to drink and the dust-laden air unfit to breathe; that of all countries on earth it was the worst for a white man. As this showing is incompatible with the Chronicle’s pres- ent attitude in favor of annexation and turning the islands into a white ma cou y by treaty, that paper is now busy trying to prove that it lied by quoting against itseif the advertise 1y setting forth the attractions HE struggle of the Chronicle with itself over the climate of Hawaii diverts the public. ments of a steamship comp to the tourist in Hawaii. Tropical countries have always been attractive to tourists from the temperate zone, but they have never been populated by such people, for natural reasons which THE CALL does not create and which the veering and variegated Chronicle cannot destroy. For many years the Chronicle cried down Hawaiian weather, not in ‘“‘anonvmous interviews,” but in signed state- ments which it made the ject of frequent editorial indorse- ment. If it choose nov ve a tourist advertisement in preference to it ¢ about the same estimate on its veracily that , and may be said for once to be in agreement with its readers. the rublic doe But after all, the contused Chromicie is representative of the condition of the annexationists. Some of them insist that the native Hawaiians are on a level with the negroes of the Conge basin and should not be consulted in the seizure of their sovereignty; while athers fawn on and flatter them and affirm THE CALL'S statement that there is less iliiteracy among them than is found in States of the Union represented by an- nexation Senators. The truth is that the Dole Government, supported by only 2 per cent of the population, is in fear of its ability to survive much longer. and is in trembling anxiety to shiftits load, and transfer to the United States the task of holding the majority in subjection. If the islands are annexed the present members of the oligarchy will naturally expect to be the lords of the new co.ony, and they already taste the continued sweets of power ly assured. They are playing for big stakes and the nicle’s anxisty to confess itself a persistent falsifier is probably measued by the interest it has with those adven- turers. It must te a strong reason that moves the Chronicle to introduce reputable testimony to prove its own statements false. Perhaps it may soon get so far along as to confess fts motive. One Fresno lad shot another for baving “told on"” him at school. Undoubtedly thisform of correction was too severe. According tothe ethics of school days to give the tattler a thrashing is not only proper, but commendable. However, to take a shot at him is not a process that ihe best educators up- hold. The High School girls on sirike against buying more books bave a good case. Most of the parents 1n this city would bave been on strike long ago if not hampered by a lack of organiza- tion. No doubt exists but the girls are bright, beautiful and braicy, and we make bold to giory in their spunk. OUR NEW ERA EDITION, BY common consent the American people have adopted the phrase “‘the new era’’ to signify the conditions prevailing at this time. There are differences of opinion as to the causes which have produced the change from the depression that weizbed upon the industry of the country for four years, but no dispute as to the change itself. All recognize that we bave entered upon another period of prosperity, and all call it “the new era.” By a fertunate coincidence Tue CALs began its career under the present management about the time the new prosperity | made itself felt throughout the land in the rapid rise in the price of farm products and the revival of activity in all lines of | trade, It will move to its new home and be equipped with its new plant at the season when the revived prosperity will mani- | fest itself most joyously in tie preparations for the coming holi- day seeson. To THE CALL it is therefore a new era in a particu- lar as well as in a general sense, ang it is altogether right and fitting it should properly celebrate the occasion. Itis the intention of TuE CALL to mark the opening of its magnificent new home by iasuing a special edition devoted to ap expo:i ion of the new era in California. The edition will be notable for its literary quality and its artistic finish rather than for its size. It will not be the ordinary holiday number, but it wili be attractive enough to make a holiday for all to whom it comes. With penand pencil, with facts, figares and statistics, it wll pieture and illustrate the promising conditions of theindus_ iries of the State and carry to the outer world convincing prooj that for all California, as well as for THE CALL, the new era is one of assured prosperity. It will not be long before the new building is open, the new plant in operation and the special edition presented to the pub- lic. Then the readers of THe CALL will see that they are to be sharers in the prosperity of the paper by getting a better service than ever before. With its :uperb equipment, comprising everything of the bighest excellence in newspaper woik, the appearauce of the improved CarL will mark a new era, not for itself only, but for Pacific Cosst journalism. : VIVISECTION FOR AMUSEMENT, THE Denver demonstrator who, for the edification of students of physical culture, carved 2 live cat into small pieces, is to be congratulated on belonging to the human rather than the feline race. Supposing he had been a cat and some demonstrator had chosen to expose his vitals to the stu- dent gaze, would he have enjoved the affair? Not a bit. Of course there sre people who fail to see what good there can be in torturing a cal, and even favor a brutal policy of sending the torturer t o jail, bul these have not looked deeply into the sub- ject. Probably there is nothing else so instructive anu elevat- ing tou young man as the privilege of seeing the palpitant heart o iacat yanked from its fastenings. It sweetens his na- ture, beguiles his time, and arouses within him a noble impulse to catch other cats and ascertain whether their hearts are con- structed on a similar plan, thus addin: much to the sum of knowledge. A strongand lively cat soaked in kerosene and brougiit into contact with a lighted match is also said to cons stitute a pleasing spectacie. However the tendency of the cat 1o go flaming heedlessly about bars the Denver young man from this siyle of recreation. l IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY. AN American whaling fleet, manned by American sailors, is bound in the ice of the Arctic Ocean, and the Arctic winter is fast approaching. Unless relief is promptly given, the brave men in these ships will perish in the terrible cold of that desolation under conditions of disaster, suffering and starvation fearful to think of. The menace is appalling. The situation shows but one hope for relief. If the Government will act promptly in send- ing a ship to the aid of the Icebound flzet it will be possible to save the men from the horror that hangs over them. The Government has been applied to and the Secretary of the Navy has replied to the correspondent of THE CALL that the Government has no means to provision a relief ship, and can- not use money for that purpose unless it has been so appro- priated by Congress. In this emergency THE CALL speaks in the name of “hu- manity, and guarantees the stores needed to provision the relief ship. and supplies to the whaling fleet, and THE CALL will see to it that they are on hand to be loaded as soon as the ship is ready to receive them. The main issue isto save the ice-bound sailors, There is to be a meeting of the Cabinet on Tuesday, and at that time it will be considered whether the Government can or not provision and send a relief ship to the whaling fleet. If at that meeting it should be decided the Government has no authority to provi- sion the relief ship there need be no delay in getting the ship ready. THE CALL will see to it that the provisions are there. In a .aatter involving the lives of hundreds of brave men the supreme law is that proclaimsd by the voice of humanity. To that voice THE CALL responds. It can hardly be doubted that the Government will be equaliy responsive. We trust the relief expedition will soon be hastening north on its mis- sion of mercy, carrying relief to those who are now facing a terrible death amid the ice and snow of the frozen ocean.

WALL street gave to the country on Friday another il- lustration of the ease with which its strongest currents can be disturbed on the surface and set in‘o agitations as uncertain and confusing as waves on a chopped sea, when the tide runs in one direction and the wind blows in another. It was a day of fluctuations, excitements and flurries. Stocks rose, fell and rose again, and the market could hardly have ap- peared more stormy had storm winds been rushing upon it irom all points of the compass. Al] these di-turbances, according to the reports, were the results of rumors, and the rumors were bardly as respectable as the fakes of yellow journalism. The flurry began with a story that President McKinley had fallen dead frow apoplexy. It took five minutes to get & dispatch from Washington con- tradicting the story, but in that five minutes the agitation had been started on a swing that couid not be stopped, and other rumors eame thick and fast to keep up the motion. Scarcely bad the dispateh refuting the rumor of the death of the President been read than another story circulated that Havemeyer was dying, and thereupou sugar stock began to go up and down like a toy monkey on a stick. When later infor- mation gave assurance of the vitality of Havemeyer, a rumor went tbe rounds that Richard Croker was dead, and straight- way Metropolitan Traction stock and kindred securities were set to osciliating. Finaliy a tale was circulated that the nation was to have an immediate war with Spain, and thereupon all stocks joined the movement, and for the rest of the day Wail street was 5o full of business it was hard to put the lid on wnen the time came to close. It is evident from all this thata bull in a china shop, a monkey and a parrot tempest in a teapot or a Kansas zephyr in'an apple orchard are as nothing to arumor in a stock ex- change. A woman’s rights convention when a mouse has the floor is calm and serene when compared to Wall street with a war fake going the rounds. The brokers seem to lose their sense on such occasions, and old firanciers are as badly rattled as the greenhorn who for the first time tries his bhaad at the game, Fortunately for the country the actual stock market is not seriously affected by these flarries in the exchange. Itisthe greater currents of trade and industry tuat determine values, and not the waves of excitement among the brokers. All the currents of the time are setting toward prosperity, and the fluctuations o! an agitated day in Wali street will not check them 1n the least. | A NEW MOVE IN CANADA. partment has been advised that Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Prime Minister of Canade, accompanied by Sir Louis Davis, Minister of Marines and Fisheries, will arrive in Wash ington early in the week for the purpose of entering upon nego. tiations regarding the seal fisheries. This unexpeeted newsis made more surprising by the report that while our Government has been notified of the coming of the Canadian statesmen the British Minister at Washington has received no information of ite'ther from London or from Ottawa. Canada, it s ems, has come to the conclusion she is big enough to walk alone. Itis notclear what the Canadians expect to accomplish at Washington. They bave no standing :n international diplomacy, for the simple reason that they represent no inde- pendent nation. Canada can Lave dealings with the United States only through the British Minister, and his instructions come to him not from the Canadian Cabinet, but from that of Great Britain. If the Canadian Ministers shonid ask to be received on equal terms with the representatives of the United States, Russia and Japan, a most interesting question in diplo- macy wou'd arire. Toadmit the request would be equivalent to recognizing the independence of Canada, and that, of course, would make the whole British empire gasp and stare. It is not likely anything startling will result from the visit of the vnexpected guests. They will probably content them- seives with conferring informally with the United States and will do nothing to aisturd the harmony ol nations. Neverihe- less the very fact of their visit to Washington under existing circumstances is siznificant of a new spiritin Canada. Lord Salisbury, Prime Minister of the empire, cfficially refused to take part in this conference, and now comes Canada without saying ‘‘by your leave” to the noble lord and asks to be heard at it, Truly Kipling was none too early in writing his bailed, “Qur Lady of the Snows,” for once more Canada reminds e perial Britannia: “Daughter am I in my mother’s house, but mistress in my own," DISPATCHES from Washington announca the State De- There can be no harm in Durrant’s writing of bhis life. Surely he would better be doing this than taking the life of somebody else. The only injury possible would be if a pub- lisher were to be found foolish enough to print the stuff, for then some silly people might read it. —————— ‘With a!l the talk about the dreadful things that are to hap- pen ta Weyler, the sorry probability remains that not one of them will happen. It is simply an 1instance of the common wish being father to a lot of cheering thoughts.

Let the Government furnish the ship to carry the food | A BLIND LEADER. BLIND leader of the blind is Mr. S8eth Low, the defeated candidate of the so-called reformers in the city of New York. He looks upon the resuits of the election on Tues- day with eyes that see nothing except his own defeat, and, gravely as a blinking owl moralizing in the sunlignt, he de- clares that defea to be due to Republicans whorefused to aban- don their party in order to support him and the movement he represented. = it is an old saying “there are none fo blind as those who won't see,”’ and Mr. Low is one of those whose blinduess is of that kind. To all who do not willfully shut their eyes to the facts of the situation the moral of theevents luding up to the Tammany victory is.as plaln as a pikestaff. ‘The defeat of the cause of good government was due solely to the folly of there- formers themselves. The crusade against police cotruption in New York, led by Dr. Parkhurst, led up to the famous Lexow investigation that resulted in bringing to light a thousand evidénces of evils even greater than those which were originally cbarged. The dis- closures brought about an awakening of tue moral sentiment o the community, and a concerted effort was made to overthrow Tammany rule. The movement was successful. A reform Mayor was elected, a reform Police Board appointed, and on the surface every indication pointed to the conclusion that the power of Tammany was permanently broken. These pleasing indications did not long continue undis- turbed. Tammany remained an organized force in the politics of the city, while the reformers constituted but an unorganized muititpae. The contest then began between a discredited or- | ganization and a triumphant bat disorganized aggregation of citizens. In this contest organization soon demonstrated its superiority over enthusiasm as a fighting force. Tammany be- gan to recover its prestige, while, as the fervor of the carapaign died away, dissensions arose in the ranks of the reformers, and before long it was clearly seen that the organized power of Tammany would win unless an equaily strong organizition was pitted against it. It was under these circumstances that the time approachel for the pitched battle at ths poils for the control of the mu- nicipality o’ Greater New York. Those who carefully and imypartially studied the situation saw that the inherent weak- ness of the former movement for good government was its lack of organization. They proposed thereiore to make the bat:le with the assistance of the Republican party. With the aid o' that well-disciplined poli ical force they would be able not only to win, but to hoild what was won. To the Repub- lican standard they scught to rally every man who honestly desired to rid New York of Tammany rule, and if the seif- styled refermers had joined with them good government would now be ce ebra'ing a vic'ory instead of trying to explain its defea'. The experience of New York shows once more the old truth that haphazird combinations of men cannot success- fully adminisrer the affairs of a city, The reformers in New York had entire possession of the city. The adminisira fon was ia -every :espect good. There were no police scanda's, the street work was bstter done than ever before known in the history of the munic pality, economy prevailed in all de- partments, and the Mayor was personz:lly pop:lar wita all classes. Against this strong array there was simply the or- ganization of a discredited, disgraced ani degraded band of poitticians. Yet with all these advantages the reformers have not only lost the fight, but have been literally swept from the field. , Tue blind leaders of the blind may preach against the logic of these facts, but their preaching will not affect the truth. Organization is estential to any durable political suc- cess, and ke only way for the people of New Yark to defeat Tammany and establish good government is to join the Re- publican organization and vote the R:punslican ticket. THE DEADLOCK IN AUSTRIA. OME time ago when a reform of the Turki-h empire was under discussion it was suggested that much could be done toward attaining the desired end by the establish. ment of a parliamentary government in which all the races subject to the Sultan would have representation. This idea found support, it seems, among some of the Turks themselves, but wss speedily dispelled by the official organ of the Sultan, which one fine day advised all advocates of a Turkish parlia- ment to study the Austrian Parliament and learn the foily of their plan. If the allusion to the discord in the Austrian Government was an effective argument against a Turkish parliament, then it would be even more effective now, For years the confusion in that empire of many races has been growing worse and worse, until at present it seems the only way to keep the peace will be for the Emperor to dissolye Parliament, send all the warring factions home and govern by means of tne army and divine right. Between the German minority and the Czech majority in the Austrian empire there is no harmony of national aspira- tion, and hardly any possible plaiform of policy on which agreement can bs reached. Alien in race, language and re- ligion, the rival elements of the nation are also at widely dif- ferant stages of civilization, and their economicdifferences lead them to dissensions aimost as disturbing as tnose which spring from the seemingly ineradicable antagonisms that have de- scended from the centuries of war when the Hun and the Goth contended for supremacy in that part of Eurove. The prediction has been frequently made that when the present Emperor dies the Austrian empire will go to pieces. This may be an exaggerated fear, but that grave disturbances may ari.e with the change of ruler is beyond question. For a long time past that Austrian statesman has been accounted wisest who could most smoothly compromise every issue that came up and postpone decision to another day, Compro- mises, however, come to an end at last no matter how wisely they may be planned, and in Austria it seems the end has been reached. The proceedings of the Parliament have boen repeatedly interrupted by scemes so violent as to merit the name of riots, and for weeks it has been imvossible to carry on anything like a rational discussion of the points at issue between the contending parties. To make the matter worse the Germans of Austria have the sympathy of their fellow-Germaus in the empire of the Kalser, ana possibly this race feeling may rasult in cut- breaks leading to a war that will not end until the Austrian empire has lost all of its German-speaking provinces and is forced eastward to make its capital in Budapest instead of the old renowned imperial city of Vienna, THE GHOST OF THE MURDERER. T‘HE abstract questions of theosophy are not for discussion in the daily papers, yet when the followers of this doctrine emphatically take a 'position against capital punishment they are certainly open to criticism. The theory that to hang a man is ne protection to society, because the wicked soul rudely yanked from its tenement lingars abdut in space influencing mortals to commit sin, lacks to a notable degree the element of practicality. The average thinking man would rather take chances witb & spirit that by leaving the flesh had lost the power to swing a sandbag than with a footpad. Whatever may become of the soul of the murderer, it iscertain few will believe that once beyond the grave itcan exercise a malign pull or any other kind of pull affecting affairs mundane. It will also be generally accepted as true that no assassin, having been suc- cessfully hanged, has ever, after this ceremony, eut a throat or pressed a trigger. The tender solicitude lest a man-killer be punished as he deserves is one of the most tiresome and inex- plicable of perverted notions. It does not by being arrayed in the more or less incomprehensible jargon of a theosophie dictum gain a whit of reasonableness. Hang the murderers, and let them go whither the Creator wills.
