OVERNOR GAGE has called an extra session of the Legislature under circum- stances and upon terms fitted to arouse the indignation of the State. The sum- mons issued on Tuesday for a session to meet on Monday gives but six days’ notice to the public and to the legislators. That fact in itself is suspicious and suggests that some plot has been prepared which can be carried to success only by being sprung as a surprise and hurried to a swift conclusion before the people have time to oppose or even to denounce it. Such suspicions are well founded. The Call has evidence that Governor Gage came to this city and had a secret conference with three men, at which time the pro- . gramme for the session was arranged and agreed upon. The three persons whom the chief | executive of the State called into council on the subject were W. F. Herrin of the law de- | partment of the Southern Pacific Railroad; J. B. Wright, division superintendent of the Southern Pacific road, and Daniel M. Burns. Those are the men who determined that the session should begin on the sixth day after the call, and they decided, further, that the balloting for Senator shall begin on next Tuesday, the day after the session begins. A meeting of that kind for that purpose may be rightly termed a conspiracy. The Republicans of the State have to confront the issue it raises. Herrin is a Democrat, Wright is a Democrat. Neither of these men has any regard for the interests of the Repub- Burns has no interest in it other than the- office he hopes to gain from it It is with these two railroad lican party. through the Governor and the Southern Pacific Railroad. Democrats that the Governor has bargained away the Senatorship to Burns or to some one like him, if it be found that his election is impossible. The issue, however, rises above partisan considerations. It is not Republicans only whose indignation will be aroused by it. In a broad sense it concerns every citizen of California. Here is a railroad corporation, through two of its agents, conniving with the Governor of the State to take snap judgment on the Legislature and elect its candidate appoint him at once; other- | to the Senate regardless of the popular will. There is in that fact a wrong, an insult and a menace to every citizen, no matter what his party may be. Herrin, who has been the arch plotte Senate, attained his eminence in the to members of former Boards of Supervisors than to the general public. to have in the United States Senate a man easily corrupted Supervisors. a known defaulter in every office he ever held except that of Police Comm Such a “Democrat” and such a “Republican” have a wide there his record is not known. ground for mutual understanding, but there close to the people; and therefore the need ness of action in carrying out the plans.

To achieve it there must be union of all the forces at our command. It there- furnishes a test of the degree to which our people are capable of sinking the individual struggle for su- premacy and subordinating it to a co-operative effort for the general good. The very fact that a body of men of such influence has entered upon a se made seun e it small we shall ¢ ous consideration of a project so vast and far-reaching may be taken as a proof that a new spirit of enter- and leadership in the cit prise has been awakened in the community. It is a <pirit that is in accord with the time. It is an out come of an intelligent recognition of the wonderful opportunities that recent developments in the Orient have opened for us, and a determination to profit by th m The inducements are certainly strong enough to arouse the emulation of The trade of the Pacific Ocean countries is not only of vast magnitude, but is rapidly expanding. It amounts in its entirety to more than $2,140,000,000 annually, but of that sum the United States has at present less thangy per cent. The British Islands, far away in the remote northern seas on the other side of the globe, have by sheer energy obtained upward of one-hali of the whole, and now Germany, by intelligent direction and a careful study of trade conditions, is pushing her way forward to rival the British. The people of the United States have in the competition of such rivals the highest incentives to action. We must have the commercial enterprise of the British and apply it with the scientific skill of the Germans. If that be done the bulk of th¥ immense Pacific Ocean trade will come to the United States and pass into the country through the Golden Gate, to the enrichment of every class in the community, It is fortunate that the movement has the leader- | ship of such a man as President Wheeler. As The Call has already pointed out, that leadership lifts the enterprise above suspicion of being a movement for | the advantage of special interests and gives it a na- tional prestige. The outlook is therefore promising. | The cost of the museum will be great, but not greater | than we can afford, and, moreover, we have a just | right to expect aid from the Federal Government in | establishing and in maintaining it. Definite plans and estimates will probably be submitted at the next ]‘n’.reting of the committee, and in the meantime the public may prepare itself for the enterprise. It is bound to be undertaken, and when started every one in proportion to his means and influence will be ex- | pected to support it as a movement of national as well as civic patriotism. ‘ e e Scientists have arrived at the conclusion that blush- ing is due not to fullness of blood in the head, but to |a disease known as eurothophobia. Mayor Phelan seems to be immune. : Your Uncle Sam is acquiring friends at a rapid rate now that he has grown to be such a big boy. Even Kaiser Wilhelm is extending the glad mitt clear across the séas President | ! OUR SPRING STUDIES. | | FTER a career of marked success, in which fl public favor has been fully won and retained, | the Home Study Circle of The Call is about | to complete the fall and winter course. It is therefore | timely to announce that with the issue of Monday, | February 15, the spring series of studies will begin, and will present to the readers and students new fields f interest and instruction. The spring course has been devised to fit the time |and the season. This being the year of a Presiden- | tial election, a series of studies will be given on American Politica] Parties; as the Paris Exposition | will attract many visitors from this country and, | moreover, lead to the use of a large number of French terms and phrases in reports of news from the great fair, there will be a timely interest in the Twenty Les- sons in French Conversation which will be given in | the course; the outing season comes with the spring, |and accordingly the host of those who delight in | photography as a holiday amusement will be pleased | and instructed by the papers on Photography for Amateurs; all classes will be gratified by the striking | course of articles on Recent Scientific Discoveries, | and there will.be hardly less interest in the series of papers on Golden Ages of Literature and that con- taining Biographical Studies for girls. The studies of American politics will begin with an account of the Federalist party and its opponents | in the early days of the republic, and will be brought | down to the campaign of 1860, closing with a de- scription of the fully organized political machine ot | our time. The scientific papers will include articles | un Wireless Telegraphy, High Speed Telegraph Sys- | tems, Photography in Colors, Liquid Air, Dark Lightning, Moving Pictures, Process Engraving, Submarine Boats, the New Gases. The studies on the Golden Age of Literature will cover literary history from the time of Zoroaster and the sacred literature of Persia down to the present time, and will close with papers on Tennyson and Browning and the golden age of American literature. Among the biographical studies for girls will be sketches of eminent women of all ranks and of nearly al! ages, including such diverse types as Joan of Arc, Mrs. Siddons, Harriet Martineau, Rosa Bonheur and Florence Nightingale. The contributors to the series will include such eminent writers and cducators as Edward Everett Hale, D.D., Boston: Jesse Macy, LL. D., Iowa Col- lege; Paul Elmer Moore, Harvard University: Thomas Marc Parrott, Ph. D., Princeton University; Charles Forster Smith, Ph. D., University of Wiscon- sin; Isaac N. Demmon, A. M., LL. D., University of Michigan; Afthur H. Palmer, M. A., Yale Univer- sity; Maurice Francis Egan, LL. D., Catholic Uni- versity of America; Charles Horswell, Ph. D., North- western Uhiversity; Miss Vida D. Scudder, Wellesley College; Charlotte Brewster Jordan, Philadelphia; John Leverett Moore, Ph. D., Vassar College; Joseph Villiers Denney, A. M., Ohio State Univer- v; L. A. Sherman, University of Nebraska; Charles W. Benton, M. A., Litt. D., University of Minnesota: William J. Hopkins, S. B., Drexel Institute; Pro- fessor Benno Kirschbaum, Philadelphia; George W. Gilson, Buffalo, N. Y. From this prospectus It will be seen that in many respects the spring course will be even superior to that which is about to close. At any rate it will be fully equal to the demands of the wide diversity of readers which American culture has developed. ———— Auditor Wells has made the discovery that there is no provision in the new charter for the counting of the moneys in the city treasury, He need not worry as long as Mayor Phelan is around. His Ho_nor is an acknowledged “heiter.” L e SR A Dispatches from New York contain the informa- tion that when the Count de Castellane heard what the editor of Figaro had to say about him he waxed wroth. Any other Frenchman would have waxed his mustache. g : * 3 LOOKING [NTO THE FUTURE. B e e e A e o _— D s S n i n e S b e eTeIeteQ ok B o R e Ry S RO o o ok A S S SO n.

GUESTS WERE IN COSTUME RS Mrs. Buckbee Entertains at Dinner, Followed by a Dance. Mrs. Samuel Buckbee gave a delightful ““costume’ dinner at her home at 1609 Sutter street last evening. The widest latitude was allowed the guests in mat- ter of “costume,” and although the ma- Jority chose to come in juvenile array, till not a few elected to come in gorgeous “fancy dress.” Mrs. Buckbee was a dainty pink and white “baby,” arrayed in all the glory of pink and white organdie, with sash and ribbon bows. Mr. Buckbee assisted his charming ‘wife to receive the guests, dis- guised for the time as a sailor lad in white duck costume. Fourteen guests discussed the elaborate menu, which was in no way intended for baby” digestions. Pink roses made a pretty decoration for table and drawing rooms. Mrs. Buckbee's ests were: Miss Therese Morgan, Miss ernic Drown, Miss Florence Josselyn, Miss Jennie Blair, Miss Kate Dillon, Miss Adelaide_ Murphy, ~Harry _Holbrogk, Charles Felton, Frank Owen, Edward M. Greenway, Willard Drown and Plerce de I'Etoille. y Dancing concluded the evening’'s enterd tainment. AROUND THE CORRIDORS Thomas Flint Jr. of San Juan is at the Palace. Dr. and Mrs. A. B.
