A DISGRACEFUL PROGRAMME. uch a man Jor so important a position is sufficient to arouse the indignation of all who know anything .about the career of Callundan and the power which will be placed Up to the present time The Call has taken no part in the reorganization of the i Police Department, but has contented itself with the presentation of the news. ! however, since it has become evident that it is the intention to turn the department over [ to men who are in favor of allowing the largest license for gambling and blackmail, The Call enters a protest on behalf of the people and gives warning that if the programme be carried out this paper will not cease its efforts on behalf of decency and morality un- til the entire plot has been exposed and defeated by arousing public indig-l It appears that Mayor Phelan, for the purpose of obtaining support during his cam- | paign, agreed to turn the Police Department over to men who design to use it for their Callundan was put on the police force at the request of Dan Burns by the manipulation of Mose Gunst. The people will remember that rot long ago Gunst, who was then a Police Commissioner, declared himself in favor of making San Francisco a “wide open town.” By that phrase was meant that this city should be a place in which gamblers and all the toughs and touts that follow the gambling fraternity should have | unlimited license to ply their nefarious trades. The desire of Gunst was defeated for the time. It now appears that through the eagerness of Mayor Phelan toobtain a re-election Gunst and those who act with him have obtained a virtual control of the department, and their tools are to be placed in positions where, instead of enforcing the laws of the city, In this situation the public looks to the newly appointed Commissioners for protec- tion. These men have borne good reputations in the community and have had the es- | teem of the people, not only in the professions which they follow, but in social life. They will lore all that esteem if they consent to carry cut the programme to which they have |been pledged. There are some promises which, like those customs of which Shakespeare spoke, “are more honored in the breach than in the observance,” and this is one of ‘them. No pledge that could have been given will justify the Police Commissioners ‘in i appointing as Chief of Police 2 man who will make such a man as Callundan chief of the It would be a virtual surrender on their part to the basest elements of the city, and something like an actual association with the gamblers and thugs who expect to The Call has no fear of any favoritism the Police Department may show to other It has ample facilities for obtaining information and can take care of itseif in that respect. It makes this protest solely in the interest of public If the proposed police programme be carried out no office nor home nor class of society will be safe from the corrupting and degrading enticements of gambling. If| | Callundan be appointed chief of detectives San Francisco will be wide open to all the| jm'cnnes that Jead to corruption, degradation, vice, villainy, prostitution and crime. The Call has proof that Mayor Phelan, by reason of his campaign entanglements, | :hml no option in the appointing of Police Commissioners. He named men whom the | gang in favor of a wide-open town forced upon him. It is for these Commissioners, se- | lected in that way, to determine whether they will remain pliant tools of the' gang now | that they know for what purpose they are to be used. Their promise was obtained under false pretenses, for they were not informed of the full extent of the programme. Since | they have learned that the appointment of the Chief of Police to whom they are pledged | will entail the further appointment to the office of chief of the detective force of a man in- ROM the developments which have been made in the affairs of the Police Commis- sion it has become evident that a part of the programme arranged is the appoint- ment of Jules J. Callundan to the office of Chief of Detectives. The mere sugges- Now, ELECTION FORECASTS. ITH the opening of each year of a Presidential election political experts begin to make fore- casts of the probable results of the campaign. | This year is no exception to the rule. Although to | the general public it seems as well :«saured. as any- | thing in the future can be that McKinley will be re- | nominated and re-elected, there are not lacking | political calculators who believe, or at least profess |to believe, that the result is by no means so certain ae it appears The New York Post is one of the authorities that | secs danger ahead for the Republican party unless the > | leaders in Congress this winter act with marked dis- cretion in dealing with issues upon which the peo- ;plc have not yet made up their minds. It points “‘.“ | that avhile McKinley obtained 271 out of 447 votes in the Electoral College in 1896, and polled over 600,000 more ballots than Bryan, yet it would have taken a | comparatively small change of votes in a few States | to have made Bryan President. The Post says: | In the first place, while McKinley's victory in 1896 | was in one sense overwhelming, analysis shows that | the change of less than 24,000 votes In four Southern | and two Northern States would have put his opponent ! in the White House. Bryan secured one of the electors from Kentucky. and McKinley obtained the other twlive' by pluralitics not exceceding 281; the other three | States of the formerly *solid South” which went for | McKinley were carried by 3%7 votes in Delaware, 11, 457 in West Virginia and 32,232 in Maryland. Brvan se- | cured one of the nine ele: from California, and lost | the other eight by pluralities rising no higher than 1922. Indiana went for McKinley by a plurality of 1815l In | other words, 1f the hesitating voters in these half dozen | States, who made up their minds at the last moment, | had gone the other way to the number of 141 in Ken- | tucky, 962 in California, 1919 in Delaware, | Virginta, 9091 in Indiana and 16117 in Mery | would have had 228 electoral votes and the Presidency, | despite the fact that even then McKinley's plurality | over him at the polls would have been much more than | haif a million. | | The New York Times, on the other hand, sees no reason whatever to doubt the result. It claims that | the Middle Western States—Minnesota, Wisconsin, | Ilinois, Towa, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio—are sure for McKinley in case Bryan be nominated. It then goes on to say: \ | sbody pretends that Bryan has the least chance to carry any New England State. The New Engiand States have together 39 electoral votes. New York, with 3 New Jersey, with 10, and Pennsylvania. with | . can never be carried by W. J. Bryan or any | other candidate standing on the Chicago platform. | These three groups of absolutely sure anti-Bryan States, therefore, make this showing: Electoral Votes. New England. 39 Middle States. Middle Weste: Total....... craen There are in all 447 electoral vot Tt requires 224 to elect. The Republican candidate’s . election is as- sured, with 8 votes to spare, by the sixteen States in- ciuded in these groups. We may leave Delaware, Mary- land, West Virginta, Oregon, Kentucky and California aitogether out of the account. They. were M. iinley States in 1896. They would not be Bryan States this vear. But the demonstration is complete in the little table we have given. , In the wide difference between those two forecasts there is room for almost every person to have an | opinion of his own. It seems as certain that the | Democrats will renominate Bryan as that the Re- | publicans will nominate McKinley ' and the con- test, therefore, will be virtually along the old lines. Nothing has occurred sinee 1896 to give reason why any voter who opposed Bryan then should favor him nrow, while in the widespread prosperity of the coun- try under the McKinley administration-there are a multitude of reasons why large numbers of men who were misled by the silver movement in 1896 should vote for sound mhoney this year. Of course speculations concerning the future are always interesting, and therefore eclection forecasts will take their place among the subjects of conver- sation and news of the year, but it is not at all likely once the nominations have been made, that the issue will be involved in any doubt when The Bryan platiorm promises to be even more radical.and revo- lutionary than before, but it is safe to_say that many | Democrats who were swept off their feet by the agi- tation growing out of the bad times have now re- | covered their balance and will cast their votes for the party of prosperity, leaving Mr. Bryan in such a hopeless minority that the faction of discontent which he represents will no longer be a factor in American politics, LORD ROBERTS ON THE FIELD. IELD MARSHAL LORD ROBERTS has ar- rived in South Africa with General Kitchener as chief of staff, and the British public is now hold- ing its breath waiting to see what will happen. The waiters will probably wait a long time. Roberts is too old a man to act hastily in a_field to which he is unaccustomed, and General Kitchener, it is known, is one of those soldiers who believe in organizing for victory rather than in undertaking to seize it by a sudden dash. Even when pitted against the Dervishes in the Soudan Kitchener togk two years to prepare himself for the conflict, made every movement slowly and deliberately, and advanced no faster than he could build his railroad. The general who displays so much of prudence in an attack upon poorly armed barba- rians is hardly likely to be guilty of rashness in a war against a foe which has proven itself to be so-dan- gerous as the Boers. The favor with which Roberts is regarded by Brit- ich soldiers is something extraordinary. An ex- chaplain of the British army in a recent sketch of him contributed to the New York Sun says: “Field Mar- shal Lord Roberts is a remarkable personality. In the first place he is, like the great Wellington, an Irishman, and never fails to awaken. the enthusiasm of the sons of Erin. Then his name is onc to charm with throughout the whole of India, where he is feared and dreaded on the one hand and beloved and honored on the other from Cape Comorin to the Oxus River. ‘Bobs’ never knows when he is de- feated. 1 remember when he achieved his victory in the Kuram Valley; his officers declared that he was defeated, but Roberts never knew it, and awoke next morning as a victorious general ready for the fray.” The same correspondent approves of the report that General Roberts, before leaving London, ad- vised that a large force of native Indian cavalry be sent to South Africa for service, and says: “And why nbt?" The Sikhs and Goorkhas for the last fifty years have been the most loyal troops in the British army, and a few regiments of Punjab cavalry would have saved General Buller from defeat. Ordinary folk have the impression that the native army of India cannot be trusted. But there never has been,, during the most trying periods of British rule in India, the least doubt as to the loyalty of the Sikhs and Goorkhas, and they are as much a part of the forces of the empire as the loyal legions of Canada and Australia.” Whether the general will undertake an advance at “LEFTY” BANNON HANDS IT OUT ON THE LOW DOWN AY, ‘Mugs,’ people’s home “'Mugs” O'Rafferty as they shoved their icy steamless he: de bat cave an’ give de have to play agin’ dis guy Phelan an’' his bunch er candidates fer de ol Eives me a pain;” sald ‘‘Lefty’” Bannon to his friend feet against one of the the City Hall. “Dey oughter tro’ demsel into key to der ‘Wanderin' Jew.’ Dey're de worsest ev More'n half a dem's got a foot In de grave an' an- nudder on a bananer peelln’, but dey ain't got s enough to take a tumble. “On de level, ‘Mugs,’ I'd like to know where vou an’ me an' de rest uv de boys gits off wid that out- fit.

BESTED HIS SUPERIOR OFFICER. Rear Admiral Stephen B. Luce, U. 8. N., retired, has always been noted for his ready wit, and a great many storles are told among naval men of his bright say- ings. But of all of them perhaps the fol. Jowing best illustrates his quick repartec When Admiral Luce was a young man, an ensign or-a lieutenant—it matters not here—it so happened one summer that his ship for some days lay at anchor off a well-known seashore resort. Of course, the ofticers, young and oid, were much feted and were often ashore. One night, after some function or other, a party of the oung officers, among whom was Mr. {uco‘ set out for the ship. They had had an_excellent time and were feeling very olly, laufhin; and talking perhaps rather Lllarlnus y. They drew up to the ship, and leaving the boat clambered up the angway.
