A parade which is to end with a parade is a spectacular performance, but a march of soldiers to war at the call of patriotic v is a very different thing and has a profoundly rent effect upon the minds of the beholders. The patriotism of the people so keenly excited at this time has awakened in every breast an ardent de- sire to manifest the loyalty which all feel for the flag of the republic and the army and navy, which uphold it in battle.

According to the London correspondent of the New York Sun the machine is a development of the feats than that invention. The scene which is to be transmitted is divided into a number of points, each of which is reflected in a mirror, and the reflected ray of light is then converted into an electric current converted into the corresponding .ight ray. As these rays are thrown upon a screen in rapid succession the result to the observer is a picture something like that exhibited by the kinetoscope. of the machine. If it is brought to anything like the perfection hoped for it will enable persons many miles distant to watch theatrical performances, games of all kinds, and even battles that are not too widely cost of going to Paris to see the exposition, for scenes in the various buildings could be transmitted easily to surrounding countries, and possibly across the ocean. chine is anything like equal to what the inventor claims for it the world will not have to wait until the Paris exposition opens in 1000 to see it. There will in all probability be a large field for it in Cuba before way of showing battles in operation to people who da not care to go to the battle-fields to see them.

There must be a ferocious set of people down in Whea the bulletin announcing the resolution agreed Cuba when it is no longer safe for Clara Barton to remain in the island. CONGRESS HAS SPOKEN. ITH a promptness which will be hailed with gratification throughout the country, the two houses of Congress have reconciled their dif- ferences and taken action on the Spanish crisis. Those who have feared that the situation threatened a dead- lock are now relieved, and those who all along have had an unshaken confidence the wisdom and patriotism of the representatives of the people have occasion to rejoice that their faith was well founded. The resolution adopted is somewhat in the nature of a compromise, but it surrenders nothing of any principle at stake. The only difference at issue be- tween the majority in the Serate and that in the House was one of policy more than anything else, and the basis of agreement was therefore reached without engendering dissatisfaction on either side. It is needless to say that thé great mass of the peo- ple will be well pleased with the end of the debate. in upon by the conference committee was placed upon The Call bulletin boards it was greeted with cheers by the crowds that had gathered to wait the news be- fore sleeping. When later on it was added that the Senate had accepted the conference report the cheers were louder and longer. At last, when the news came that the House also had adopted the resolution, the outburst of applause was as prolonged and as exultant as if a great victory had been already achieved for the Union and for Cuba. By the resolution Congress declares that the Cu- bans are and of right ought to be free. This waives the question of recognizing the Junta Government, but leaves no doubt of the intention of the United States to drive Spain from the island and secure the Cubans in the enjoyment of their independence. With that declaration the people will be satisfied. It throws down the gantlet to Spain. She must retire or fight. Nor can there be any doubt of what the consequence will be. We shall have war. The Maine will be avenged. DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS. Spain will fight. T a meeting of the Democratic State Commit- | tee on Saturday last San Francisco was urged | as a meeting place for the next State conven- tion on the ground that the party is always lucky when it nominates a gubernatorial candidate in that To practical people this may seem a curious reason for locating a State convention, yet the facts upon which it is based are unassailable. Perhaps holding Democratic conventions in San Francisco has had nothing to do with the election of Democratic Governors, but it is nevertheless a fact | that every time the party has nominated a candidate elsewhere for over thirty years it has been with a sin- | gle exception defeated. During the Civil War period the Democrats were pretty effectually kept out of office in California. The Union party in successive elections carried the State, and the People’s party—a relic of the Vigilance Com- mittee—ruled San Francisco. In 1867, however, the | Democracy broke the line with Governor Haight, who was nominated by a convention held in this city on June 19 of that year. His opponent, George C. Gorham, was selected at Sacramento. Four years later the Democrats, made reckless by success, held their convention at Sacramento and renominated Haight. He was defeated by Newton Booth. In 1873, having apparently learned a valuable lesson, the State con- vention was again assembled at San Francisco. Wil- liam Irwin was nominated and elected. In 1879 a fu- sion Democratic convention met at Sacramento. It | nominated Hugh J. Glenn, who was defeated. In 1883 George Stoneman was nominated at San Jose and elected, but when the Democrats nominated E. B. Pond at the same place in 1800 they lost the fisht. In the meantime, however (1886), they had won with Washington Bartlett, who was nominated in this city. The defeat of the San Jose candidate, as in the case of Haight, seemed to have conveyed its lesson, for in 1894 the Democratic convention was again held in this city. James H. Budd was nominated and elected. This record shows that since the Civil War the Democrats have nominated but one successful candi- | date for Governor outside of this city. It is scarcely a source of wonder, therefore, that the politicians of that party have grown superstitious on the subject of San Francisco gubernatorial candidates. Nor does the | Republican record serve to clear away the notion that | the place in which conventions are held has somc-} thing to do with the fate of the “head of the ticket.” | city. Since 1867 the Republicans have elected three Gover- | nors—Booth, Perkins and Markham. All three were nominated by conventions held at Sacramento. It is possible, of course, that the Democrats may some time choose a candidate for Governor outside of this city and win with him at the polls, but the ! | prospects, if the record of thirty years is put in evi- | dence, would not seem to be flattering. Good judg- ment, undoubtedly, dictates that all Democratic State | conventions should be held in this city. Local hotel- | keepers and others who profit by assemblages of the unterrified will probably rejoice to know that it is un- | safe to nominate Democratic candidates elsewhere, and, if they do their duty in propagating the notion, it is not unlikely that the politiciaus of that party will soon settle down to the theory that State conven- | tions in this city are political necessities. It is too bad | that Republican candidates have to be nominated at Sacramento. Otherwise we might scare the bosses into holding the conventions of all parties in this city. Don Carlos thinks Spain should have landed an army and captured the United States a year ago. There is something about this which suggests the woe of the infant when refused the moon, and it also re- calls the dread dark days when Chile almost conclud- ed to disembark 10,000 men at San Francisco and have them sweep to New York, leaving a broad trail of first-class desolation. Germany’s plan to seize Samoa because it thinks this country and England too busy to prevent the theft shows the lofty spirit which permeates the diplomacy of Europe. Apparently it is no more ad- | mirable than the sneak-thievery which strips a clothes line. Spanish emissaries have set out for the purpose of | conferring with the insurgents. It will be remem- bered that in the past tHe emissaries who have tried | this have been shot, and no armistice has been recog- | nized by the Cubans. Spain’s Consul has left Key West under different circumstances from those marking the departure of Lee from Havana. The Spanish gentleman can’t come back without an invitation. When Havana papers sneer at Clara Barton and her work intelligent people understand that the pa- pers are edited by blackguards.. 1 _‘high purpose to the gutter wherein he “REMEMBER THE MAINE.” HILE Congress js discussing the bearing of W international law upon the affair with Spain hostile preparations go steadily ahead. That war can be avoided is the dream of a vain hope. That there must be the clash of arms is as certain as any- thing known to the human intelligence, save death alone. Discussion concerning the course of procedure is necessary. There are prescribed methods which needs be respected, forms which have to be duly weighed, the opinion of other nations, precedents, consequents. To all this Congress is expected to pay due attention. The peopie wait with patience until a conclusion shall be reached. They do not care so much for the manner in which the final step shall be taken. They are interested in the step and the result. But the men who will do the fighting, the brave sailors of the navy, the marines, the volunteers, the commanders of battle-ships, the regular soldiers marching away to. nameless graves, have but one thought. It is of the Maine. Diplomacy may in- dulge in sounding periods, may delay, may hide its purpose behind an array of verbiage, but the truth that the wreck of the Maine is to be the real cause of war cannot be hidden. The navy feels that a crime has been committed. It longs for a proper vengeance. To achieve this it is willing, from admiral to the hum- ble passer of coal, to go out upon the broad sea and there do battle, not for Cuba; but that a great wrong has been done and expiation is necessary and right. They demand this. They are ready to give their lives to back the demand. In this self-sacrifice there is a mighty lesson. Peo- ple who have nothing but money at stake are willing to forget the Maine, are anxious to leave to arbitra- tion the adjudication of the price of ship and seamen. But the navy is actuated by a different and a loftier feeling. It favors no tribunal, no regretful dole of coin. It is convinced that such concession would be a stain upon its honor, that at the cannon’s mouth its appeal for retribution must be made. It will man the cannon. It will challenge the peril of the deep, the torpedo, the broadside; it will send its gunners up the military mast, there to perish, and the gunners are clamoring for a chance to go to their doom. They are saying to each other, “Remember the Maine.” To any who will make inquiry of his neighbor, of his own intelligence, will come the assurance that the war with Spain is not because that country has abused its subjects, not because it has used famine as a weapon and spread desolation throughout a fair and productive land, but because the bones of a noble craft are bleaching in the harbor of Havana. It is not competent now to say why they are there. Even if accident sent them to the bottom with their human load Spd#in treated the catastrophe in a way which has given to it all the sinister aspect of design. From the wreck of the Maine is springing an aveng- ing fleet. The explosion which marked her going down marked also the end of the power of Castile in the West. There are ships still afloat which may thunder at the walls of Morro. But there is a ship, silent, motionless, tenanted only by the dead, a tangle of steel, a tomb and a monument, which is still the potent factor in shaping the destiny of a nation. Its guns will never speak again, but for every one of them a hundred guns are ready. When first the ships of the United States and Spain meet our sailors will remember the Maine, and in the remembrance will be the strength of purpose and power in action. “Remember the Maine”; it is a righteous and in- spiriting war cry. THE YELLOW I of slander and detraction directed against the administration. The Hearst papers offer a mar- ket to every insinuation, rumor, falsehood and cal- umny that reflects upon the President. The fellow who seems to have the most of this feculence for sale is Ingalls, the ex-Senator. He is: INGALLS. HE war situation calls into action every agency “Like a peach that’s got the yeuows With the meanness breakin’ out,” described in the Bigelow Papers. : With a disloyal disregard of the country’s interests, he obeys instructions to abuse the President for everything that is done or left undone. With as much knowledge of war and tactics as a hog has of bicycle riding, he plans campaigns and military movements; and, with a quality of statesmanship fitted to the size of a boodler in some “solid” ring in a City Council, he treats of international questions as if international law were the season’s rule for baseball or slugging matches. His viperous temper is armed with a vocab- | ulary of vituperation that would be the envy of a| costermonger, and loyalty to his country sits aslightly | upon him as propriety on a Chinese boatwoman. He knows just where to place the poison of an in- sinuation, where to plant the sting of a half-lie filled with the venom of a whole lie. His ingenuity is ad- dressed to making other men seem as evil as he is. Loyalty to country and fidelity to trust, in others, are mirrors in which he sees his own petty and evil genius reflected. His intellectual gift is the invention of a bad motive for a good act, and the dragging down of roots and grunts and makes the air foul. He is employed to de- | fame the President for pay, to injure his country for hire, to make men seem worse, for a consideration. | He takes a contract to spread moral pestilence for the | benefit of Hearst’s yellow papers. He is the costumer and modiste of Hearst's wanton journals. Out of his stock of English defiled he daubs rouge and henna, grease paints the wrinkles of de- bauchery, and sprinkles meen fun, to repair the fading attractions of the yellow creatures and suspenad for a time the public aversion to that pair of painted hussies. Tosell papershestrikesat the Government of which he was once a member, demoralizes politics which were bettered by his retirement to private life, and weakens every national energy that can be affected by the virus of his abandoned mind. The time is coming when the suppression of such creatures will be demanded by the public safety. When everything is in peril and all that men have js at stake, in the great war that is now so near the pant- ing of gunners may be heard as they load and range the guns, no yellow-jacket like Ingalls, whose sole | talent is in his sting, will be permitted to annoy the chosen leader of the people or weaken the avenging arm of the country by directing it to aim a false blow. If in war the civil law is not silent it will be found equipped with resources to silence those who, by ly- ing, make dissension at home and strengthen the enemy abroad.
