THE REPUBLICAN RALLY TO-NIGHT. pREPARATIONS made for the mass meeting at Woodward’s Pavilion evening are of a nature to warrant' the atten- dance not only of all Republicans, but of all classes of citizens who desire to hear a thorough presenta- tion of the issues of the campaign. Mr. Gage, the Republican candidate for Governor, who will make the principal address of the evening, has just accomplished a triumphant canvass in the southern counties, in the course of which he proved himself to be one of the best campaigners in the his tory of our politics. Although withbut previous ex- perience as a candidate office, and aithough matched against such an habitual campaigner as Ma- guire, he has shown himseli easily superior to his adversary. Maguire opened the canvass in the south with a vicious aggressiveness, but already Mr. Gage has forced him to the defensive, and about all that Maguire is doing now is to go about complaining of the attack on him. Republican for Under any' circumstances the public would take a | at- large interest in a man who has so brilliantly tained the front rank of campaign orators, but there are other reasons than a desire to gratify intellectual curiosity which will impel intelligent men to make their way to the Pavilion early this evening to hear and to see the Republican candidate. Upon Mr. Gage is to rest the pledges of the Republican party. A knowledge of his character, therefore, is as important to the voter as a knowledge of his ability as an orator, and to at- | | most | tain that knowledge the voters of the city should see the man. Where he is best known he is highly. esteemed. The voters of San Francisco who hear and see him to-night will understand his popu- larity in his home—why it is that all Maguire's at- tacks upon him were futile, and why his short can- wvass in the south Has been a moral as well as an in- tellectual triumph. the fact that it is to be presided over by the Repub- lican candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Jacob H. Neff. All Californians regard with more than or- dinary affection this old pioneer, whom they familiarly call “Honest Jake Neff.” Mr. Neff comes nearer to being a citizen of the whole State than any cther man in it. No one ever thinks of him among the prominent citizens of a particular locality. He is identified with the entire commonwealth, and is at home in the valleys or in the mountains, in the city | or in the forests. “Mr. Nefl is not only to preside over the meeting, but will speak. Senator Perkins will also be among the orators of the evening. The occasion will be one of the most notable of the canvass, and perhaps the - most interesting that will be held in San Francisco during thé campaign. The issues before the voters are to be discussed on the highest plane of politics by then who are not only eminent as orators, but have leadership and official responsibility to give authiority to their words. tendance will be large, and independent voters, sound money Democrats, conservative citizens and taxpayers of all parties will unite with Republicans in giving a rousing welcome to our Senator and our coming Governor and Lieutenant Governor. NOTHING BUT FACTS WANTED. HERE can be no excuse in this campaign, or Tin any other, for indulging in misrepresentation. In the heat of partisan debate even menwho mean to be fair may permit their prejudices to unduly color their opinions and their expressions. Neither side is apt to be ‘wholly free from this fault. But to falsify and distort is to confess the absence of ground for ergument. These few remarks are provoked by the action of the Examiner We cannot view its course with sur- prise, but are sorry it thinks necessary to bolster its cause with a lie. We cite only a single one of these, as space is not I'mitiess. That paper stated that Irving M. Scott, having been approached with a proposition to become the Republican candidate for Mayor, replied that he would not accept, that he was in favor of Phelan. Mr. Scott never said this, never saigl anything like it. He is not in favor of Phelan. He never said he was in favor of Phelan.

EACON FITCH’S Non-Partisans have been D placed in a very embarrassing position by the excellent platform adopted and the strong can- didates nominated by the Republican convention. Mr. Fitch is himseli a Republican, and, like most men who believe in fhe principles of that party, he prefers | Republicans to Democrats in office. That is to say, | all things being equal, Deacon Fitch would prefer, from a noam-partisan standpoint, to indorse good Re- publicans. As two-thirds of the members of the } Non-Partisan convention are Republicans, and as | four-fifths of the vote marshaled by the party on | election day is Republican, we may say that the sen- | timent we have attributed to Mr. Fitch is shared generally by his party. ; The pledges adopted by the Republican convention are the counterpart of those formulated in past years by the Non-Partisans. Some of the Republican can- didates have long been recognized as the special fa- vorites of that party. In short, the Kepublican plat- | form and the Republican ticket is all that the most | ardent Non-Partisan could desire, provided his feel- | ings and sentiments are Republican. Even Deacon | Fitch, the most uncompromising of local civic re- formers, cannot deny this. | We have said that the action of the Republican convention has placed the Non-Partisans in an em- | barrassing position. This statement requires expla- | nation. For a long time Mayor Phelan has been | connubiating with Deacon Fitch’s party with a view to making it an addendum to his machine. The re- sult of his work is found in the fact that the Non- Partisans did not await the action of any convention as to Mayor, but renominated Phelan even before he had been named by his own convention. In other words, the Non-Partisans declared that no man in San Francisco was fit to be Mayor except Mr. Phelan, and that as to him they would tolerate no rivalry. They declined even to await the result of a search by the Republicans. The only thing necessary aiter this to establish the | fact that Mayor Phelan was doing business with the | Non-Partisans on a Democratic basis would have been the prompt indorsement of all the other Demo- | crats named by that gentleman for office. Why this | was not done does not appear. Probably the Re- | publican Non-Partisans thought a delay would better | subserve their purpose. Undoubtedly Phelan con- | sented to a pestponement on the theory that the Re- publicans would adopt a bad platform and nominate a weak or machine ticket. * Had this been done the contrast between Mayor Phelan’s “honest” candidates and those of the opposing party would have been sufficiently striking to justified the Non- F.rtisans in becoming a tail to the Mayor's kite. But Mr. Phelan doubtless now perceives his mis- take. The Republicans have completely demolished his campaign of buncombe and flap-doodle. Their platform is as good as his, and their candidates are stronger and better. What will the Non-Partisans now do? They cannot indorse Phelan’s ticket without losing their claim to the title of indepen- dents, and they cannot indorse the Republican ticket without breaking faith with the Mayor. In short, the Non-Partisans are in what is known in local politics as a “hole. 1f the Phelan programme is carried out not only will a split result in the convention, but tke have | tespect now entertained by the public for the Non- Partisans will be succeeded by disgust and contempt. 1t has often been said that the Deacon Fitch party was designed to aid the aspirations of Democratic office-seekers, and that the Republicans in it were used to perfect the scheme. Whether this is true or not will be ascertained during the next few days. L profit in the towing of gigantic rafts, which go to pieces in the ocean. They look at the matter purely from the standpoint of financiers. It is time the public should be considered.

IBERMEN are debating whether there is . added ntercat Sillthe sives o the meeting bul ger on the deep than one of these same raits, derelict, swirling in the current, tossed by the waves, and leaving in its uncertain wake a thousand logs, each one a menace to life. Such a possibility is horrible | to contemplate, and yet the lumbermen question only as to whether the raft will pay. When tt anta Rosa arrived yesterday it brought a story of one of the narrowest escapes ever recorded. Tt had been in actual contact with a huge piece of a castaway rait. So close had the monster come to it that the paint had been scraped from the boat and its patent log had been torn away. Had the weather | not been ciear the peril could not have been avoided, and but for the sharp eye and quick action of the lookout destruction would have been inevitable and | compiete. The raft would have cut the hull from the | Santa Rosa, and in all probability every soul on board | have perished miserably. The boat was carrying 211. Are there so few tragedies of the sea that steps must | deliberately be taken to create more? A few days before the Humboldt was picking its course through a flock of piles, the wreckage of part of the raft. For hours it was in the gravest peril. Had the fog hung low, as often it does, the craft would | have been helpless, and its probable destiny the bot- | tom. Had there been fog when the Santa Rosa met | its share of the raft, escape would have been impos- sible. ‘ When next the lumbermen shall figure on setting a | raft loose in the Pacific, let them take into considera- j tion that people go down to the sea in ships. They have no more right to set at large a monster raft, which no towline can control, than a railroad co*— | pany would to set a train unmanned on a down grade | to rush into the city under full head of steam. | THE SITUATION AT FASHODA. RITISH and French dealings with one another B at Fashoda have some of the elements of comic opera, some of sound common sense; and some of the truest chivalry. Two armed forces | engaged in a struggle for conquest and dominion | meet at a strategic point of vast importance, but in- stead of fighting they merely warn onc another to retire, and then both proceed to camp on the dis- | puted field and to act as if they had met for a picnic | rather than a fight. A The chivalrous touch to the situation is given in the :rcccnt report that the British have furnished the | French with the food on which they are now living. | It appears that Marchand, the commander of the | French force, in his haste to reach Fashoda before | the British, had neglected to provide supplies ample to maintain himself. and was in such sore straits | when the British arrived that he. would have been compelled to retire had they not furnished him with | provisions. To the daring Frenchman, therefore, the | coming of Kitchener’s advance guard was sométhing more like the arrival of a relief expedition than of a hostile force. g The French and the British at Féshoda are now virtu?lly drinking out of the same canteen. They are’ drawing their supplies from the same store, They | barbarians. They wait with more or kss&gerncss what is to be done by the diplomatists of London and Paris. They are living as friends, and it depends upon others to decide whether they shall part that way or be set to fighting before they separate. Fortunately for both parties there is little proba- bility of war. The concert of Europe has not been very potent in dealing with problems for the solution of which action is required, but it has managed very successfully all that could be arranged by non-action. It has been a peace preserver of great merit, and is not likely to break down at this juncture. The situa- tion at Fashoda is too good a comedy to be spoiled by converting it into a traged; PACIFIC OCEAN COMMERCE. AMES J. HILL, president of the Great North- d ern Railroad, who for some time past has been making a careful study of Pacific Ocean com- merce, has, although a Democrat, reached the con- clusion that the Republican party is right in advo- cating the adoption by the Government of a policy designed to promote American shipping interests. This conclusion he has announced in recent inter- views, and not long ago, in an address at St. Paul, he made it the theme of an elaborate and notable speech, backing it with arguments of indisputable validity and strengtfl. Mr. Hill began by pointing out that the Pacific Ocean offers at this time a better field for American shipping enterprise than the Atlantic, for the reason that while Atlantic commerce is carried on “by steam ferries leaving almost every hour of the day from one side or the other of the Atlantic Ocean,” there is on the Pacific a comparative freedom from that exces- sive competition. Moreover, beyond the Pacific there is an enormous market awaiting our products, and that market is of vast importance to us. At the present time Great Britain is virtually the only foreign consumer of our wheat, cotton and raw material generally, and we have to sell in competition with all other producing countries in the Liverpool market at the price offered there. By establishing adequate transportation facilities between our Pacific Coast and the Orient we would find in Asia a market for all American food products west of the Rocky Mountains, and thus save the Pacific Coast producers from having to compete with Eastern producers in the markets of Great Britain. It is clear that until we have sufficient ships to carry our produce to Asiatic ports we cannot profit by the increasing demand there for our goods. Nor can these ships be constructed and operated profitably without some form of protection from the Govern- ment. The merchant marine of other great commer- cial nations is aided by liberal subsidies, and it is in vain that American ships, unaided and unprotected, have attempted to compete with them. Thus it is that the absence of legislation favorable to the ocean-going ships of the country has prevented our merchant marine from advancing as rapidly as other great American industries. As to the advantages to be gained from the exten- sion of our Pacific Ocean commerce, Mr. Hill said: “If the surplus wheat from the Pacific Coast were carried to Asia, in place of being carried to Europe, and there compete with the agricultural products of the States east of the Rocky Mountains, you would advance the price of wheat from 10 to 20 cents bushel. It would reduce the exports to Europe from one hundred million to sixty or seventy million bushels a year.” 4 The evil effect of having only the European market for our produce has long been evident to all stu- dents of our commercial and industrial problems. Mr. Hill has outlined the true remedy. The nation needs an extension of Pacific Ocean commerce, and to achieve that it has only to provide for the up- building of the American merchant marine on this coast. A tion. @ MODEL DOCUMENT. MODEL document of its kind is the platform of principles and policies applicable to muni- cipal affairs adopted by the Republican conven- It is comprehensive in its scope and clear and emphatic in every utterance. There is not an eva- sive plank in it. It deals with live issues and is free from those platitudes of “glittering generalities” which of late years have been so common in thle plat- forms of all parties. The committee that drew up the document did the work well, and the convention is to be congratulated on being so ably served. In some respects this declaration, coming from the Republican party, may be regarded as marking an epoch in local politics. It outlines a broad scheme of municipal improvement and development, and pro- poses measures calculated to advance the interests not only of the community as a whole, but of individuals. 1t is, in fact, a manifesto in favor of progress all along the line, and gives promise of a new era in the development of the city. Notable among the declarations are those pledging the legislative nominees of the convention to vote for the ratification of the new charter by the Legislature, favoring the ownership by the municipality of all pub- lic utilities, pledging the nominees for Supervisors to fix water rates at an amount which will yield to the water company a revenue not exceeding 5 per cent on its capital stock, to provide for the bet- ter lighting of streets, and to conduct the affairs of the municipality with such honesty and economy as to enable the whole expense to be defrayed by the revenue derived from a tax rate not exceeding $t on the $100 of assessed valuation not exceeding $350,000,000. Other important portions of the platform declare for street improvements, the elimination from the public schools of all useless text-books, a daily wage of not less than $2 for eight hours’ work to be stipu- lated in all contracts for public work, and that white labor and California material must be made terms of all public franchises. The document is in itself, however, too concise and terse to admit of digest. It should be studied by every voter. It is unquestionably the most important poli- tical paper, from a local point of view, that has been put forth for many years, and as the men who have been nominated to make the canvass upon it can be counted on to fulfill its pledges so far as lies in their power, the progressive element of t_he people should, without regard to party, support it and them in the interests of a progressive San Francisco. o ——T——m Since the jobbery planned between Corbett and McCoy has been exposed, pugilists are likely to no longer enjoy that high public esteem in which they have basked heretofore.

President McKinley will have a special car in which to travel between Washington and Omaha, and very properly.
