Terme g0 a0 e 1.9 | THE FUSION PLATFORM. | B credit and our currency the Sioux Falls plat- | form on which Colonel Bryan is nominated proposes as a remedy for trusts that “ownership be assumed and exercised by the people.”” It demands that such ownership and control be extended to rail- roads and telegraphs, and that to efficiently take over to public ownership all the business now in the hands of the trusts, and the railroads and telegraphs, and to municipal ownership all public utilities, the people “must act directly, without the intervention of | representatives, who may be controlled or influenced. | We therefore demand direct legislation, giving the people the lawmaking and veto power under the ini- iative and referendum.” ; It will be seen that to make this change in the Gov- | ernment effective for the purpose it is to serve the | courts must be destroyed.

F. Bortzmeyer, who is a ge. The resolutions express the = lodge that the municipal affairs are stered that adequate police protection is not the citizens, and that men are liable to be robbed and shot, as Bortzmeyer was, while peace- fully pursuing their way home. The concluding resolutions are these: Resolved, That the continual increase of depredations by the criminal classes will make it necessary in the future for the fraternal organizations to form a committee for thelr own protection, which would be & reflection on the “reform government” of this city. Be it further resolved, That we condemn the finan- clal poliey of this elty that makes it necessary to leave the streets in dar #s after 12 o'clock at night, thereby Increasing the opportunities for robbery and other crimes.

SADDER, BUT WISER. 3 ROM the long reply made by the Record-Union the of The Call upon the unjust ed to the State Fair in ver the Street Fair, it is evi- ithout a good édffect. See- the Record-Union has re- itude. It has declared it- for the benefits conferred upon 3 ir, and for the present on of something like Y to vow that it never away to kneel at the shrine of any < rceive that our contemporary wed unto repentance. The criticism of The i d not to hurt, but to admonish, and ory. Sacramento neced not decry of the State for the purpose of lauding s been zccomplished by the enterprise tizens. Both are good, and now that had its cycs opened to that v be considered closed. The moral, . not be forgotten, and the Record- i y pected to hereafter do justice to the $iote Fair withcut being forced to do so, The progress | ms has been steady. Every | e of Dr. Seliridge had reached extremes. | people and the profit of highwaymen | | constitutionality of legislation. The powers which the Government may exercise are expressly granted and | limited in the constitution. Among those powers the manufacture and production of the commodities in vhich trusts deal are not included nor contemplated, | mor is the public ownership of transportation. The constitution provides for a representative Govern- | ment, not direct lawmaking by the people. The con- | stitu { juc ion puts all personal and property rights under licial shelter. M r. Bryan’s Sioux Falls platform sweeps all this y» and on the theory which it declares that “a ma- jority of the people cannot be corrupted” obsoletes the legislative and judicial branches of the Govern- ment, abolishes them utterly and substitutes for them direct legislation, in the ballot bex, by the whole | people. | This revolutionary change in our system of govern- | ment seems to be based upon the theory that the whole people, being incapable of electing incorrupt- ible representativcs to make laws, are thereby proved capable of making the laws themselves. With the courts abolished and the Legislatures sent glimmer- ing nothing stands against the sovercign tyranny of a It may be a majority of one, and its will d purpose may be the destruction of the personal and property rights of any one disliked by that major- of one; but there is no power left to rationalize, to on, the f the minority which it may strike down. a Jefferson did not believe that the rule of the major- | would be al | it must be reasonable. To reduce it to reason the constitution provided the admirable system of checks 1 and balances and erected the rationalizing force of the courts. We submit that the plan promulgated by Colonel Bryan's Sioux Falls platform is naked communism, archy close behind it. | With that inconsistency which always goes with | these theories of government, the platform which has swept every constitutional guarantee away, in pursuit | of what it calls “social and economic freedom,” then | declares that: “The Declaration of Independence, | | the constitution and the flag are one and inseparable,” | 2nd arraigns the Republican party for violation of the | constitution, and declares Porto Rico to be “a part of the territory of the United States.” Of course if Porto Rica is,"the Ph: come to us by identical process and in the same treaty. | Yet the platiorm demands that Porto Rico be held | and that the Philippines be alienated! Ii one is part of the territory of the United States, both are. If so, neither can be alienated, under the decision of the Civil War. | This inconsistency does not seem to disturb the proponents of the platform, but it is a warning to those who intend that this shall remain a constitutional Governient. It is a forecast of the confusion that | will follow the elevation of Mr. Bryan to the Presi- dency, if that lamentable accident should occur. The grave conditions that have followed the Span- | ish war have no solution under this platform that squares with common sense, or justice to anybody. | It is a compromise to retain in Populist ranks its two well-known factions, which otherwise would go to war over expansion. The creative energies of the cogvention were spent in the prolonged exhibit of its financial and expansion ideas. It is willing to expand a little, but not much. But if much expansion be wrong, any expansion is wrong. | The rest of the platform is devoted to postal sav- | ings banks, injunctions and imperialism. As evidence | | of its determination to cut and hack in all directions | the convention denounced the Populist Governor of | Idaho for the proceedings at Wardner. This platform, which more nearly resembles political | | jaundice and a bilious liver than anything else in na- | ture, is an all-round snarl at everything that is, and we | 1 leave it to reasonable people to say whether they want | | the country ruled by such a declaration rather than by | the constitution as it is. The speech by the president, Mr. Patterson of Colorado, is an interpretation 2nd commentary on the platform. He said they did not nominate Colonel | Bryan to pleasesthe Democrats, for whose will and | | pleasure the Populists cared nothing. He was nomi- | nated because he “is imbued with the spirit of Popu- | tism dectared at Omaha.” i So, the candidacy of the imbued candidate was launched upon the country. He is declared to be in { full accord with the platiorm. It will be seen that | the Kansas City platform will be largely a copy of | this one, to save Colonel Bryan from seeming to ride | a jhorse and a jackass going in opposite directions. IN THE POSTOFFICE. THE W@ASTE ITH a perseverance worthy of the importance \v of the cause, the postal committee of the Na- tional Board of Trade continues its campaign of education upon the subject of reform in the ad- ministration of the Postoffice Department. The ob- ject aimed at is to put an end to the excessive pay- ments now made to the railways for hauling mail, | and thus prepare the way for the establishment of a cheaper rate of letter postage and a cheap parcels post | system. As a part of the process of education the | committee has published and is now circulating the evidence submitted to the Joint Congressional Com- mission appointed to investigate railway mail pay by Mr. Finley Acker, chairman of the committee, The evidence consists of an elaborate analysis of the testimony given and estimates made by the railway | agents, Professor Adams and Mr. Kruttschnitt. The | calculations are of a complex nature, for the railroads | throw every obstacle they can devise in the way of | getting at the facts of their charges, but the statistics set forth show conclusively that the charges made by ' the roads for hauling mail are far in excess of charges “upon freight, express or passenger traffic. | The laws determining rates for hauling mail matter | have not been changed for twenty years, while during | that time freight rates have declined 35 per cent and passenger rates over I7 per cent, according to one zuthority, and upward of 27 per cent according to ESIDES its demand for the debasement of our | of that majority, nor protect | for he said that to be right | pines are also, for they both | | product is estimated at over 1,020,000 pounds. | “The excelience of California horses is acknowledged | all over the world. In the breeding of fine stock, not | of her wealthy citizens. They searched the world and | of breeding stock. From these animals and their | descendants the State has grown famous.” trace to a white source some of the yellow perjury. another. The Government pays annually for railway mail transportation over $34,000,000, or, according to the testimony of Professor Adams himself; at the rate i of 1234 cents per ton per mile, while the railways | carry single commutation passengers at as low rates , @8 3 cents per ton per mile. Were the mails carried at the commutation passenger rates, the Government would save $25,000,000 a year on that one item alone. Evidence of gross over-payments to the railroads | was fouad in every direction the investigation took. Thus, in addition to the excessive payments for haul- ing the mail, it is disclosed in the report that the | Government pays an extra charge, averaging $6250 | per year, for the use of each special mail or so-called | postoffice car, notwithstanding the fact that these cars cost only from $2500 to $4000. The committee quotes with approval from the re- port of the House Committee on Postoffice Affairs in | 1896 the declaration: First class mail matter covers, as you will see, the product of the masses, or so we will term it for the pur- poses of this argument. Every man, woman and child above the age of six years is directly interested in this class, for it represents their direct taxation for the sup- port of this branch of the public seryice, and we have oftentimes wondered why a long-suffering people have remained practically silent through all these vears, for 60,000,000 people have long been taxed from thirty to forty million dollars a year more than it costs to transmit their mail matter in order that a very small privileged class, embracing but a few thousand, might be indulged | In the Juxury of pursuing a legitimate, and, in most cases, a very profitable business. Your committee do not think they draw it too strongly when they say that the masses have been deliberately and outrageously robbed | to foster, protect and encourage one limited business | interest of the country at the expense of the many. | The issue of postal reform is now one of the most imperative in the administration of our domestic af- fairs. So long as there is an annual deficit in the de- partment it will be impossible to bring about the es- | tablishment of the cheaper postage, a parcels post and | postal savings banks. The railroads have been per- mitted to rob and plunder the treasury through the | Postoffice Department ior too long a time, and the | National Board of Trade is doing a good service for the country in making a persevering effort to put an end to the wrong. g OUR AGRICULTURAL WEALTH. | ITH a paragraph which sounds more like ths Wexaggcrakion of a boom pamphlet than the statement of an official document, the State Board of Horticulture says in its annual report to the Governor: “To make this report complete would be | impossible, and we will not attempt it. In California the problem of existence and human happiness can be wrought out in countless forms. Industry and in- telligence, when applied to a fertile soil, can, under a cloudless sky, achieve an infinity of accomplishment. We will concern ourselves with a review only of our most extensive products, leaving our countless wealth in other directions to be inferred from the condi- tions which such a review discloses.” The statistics which follow in the course of the re- port amply justify the high-sounding claims of the | preface. In fact, in undertaking to make a digest of | it we will have to copy that very language and pre- mise that we cannot set forth all the prosperity re- vealed in the facts and figures of the report, but must confine ourselves to a few of the more notable features, leaving the rest to be inferred from what is stated. California produces about 6 per cent of the wheat | crop of the United States, and while the average yield | per acre for the whole country in 1809 was but little | over twelve bushels, that of California exceeded four- | teen bushels. The income from the crop is estimated | at more than $21,000,000. Barley, which is the only | cereal crop our farmers rotate on their wheat fields, | | yielded about $8,460,000. The deciduous fruits shipped out of the State during the year filled 6924 | cars, and it is explained that owing to the increased | | weight carried by cars that season the shipment was [cquiva!ent to 7408 cars of previous yéars Dried i fruit shipments for the year are estimated as follows, | | in pounds: Peaches. 8,000,000; apricots, 5,000,000; | apples, 5,000,000; pears, 4,000,000; plums, 2,500,000; | nectarines, 1,500,000; dried grapes, 2,500,000; figs, | 2,000,000; prunes, 96,500,000; and raisins, 70,000,000, | The canning industry packed for the year 3,000,000 | cases of fruit, 561,000 cases of tomatoes and 133,000 cases of other vegetables. The citrus fruit yield was [ 10875 carloads, or 3,654,000 boxes, and that of | almonds and walnuts amounted to 12,200,000 pounds. | The wine output was about 14,000,000 gallons, the out- | put of beet sugar was 18,300 short tons, and the honey The statistics relating to horses and cattle are equally favorable. Of these it is said in the report: only of horses, but also in cattle, sheep, poultry, swine, our State has been fortunate in the enterprise brought from its uttermost limits the finest specimens It is pointed out that there is a large demand in the East for California bred horses, and that a large rev- enue is realized to California from that source, and the report adds: “It might be well for our breeders to consider the Hawaiian and Philippine islands, China and Japan, as markets for horses and mules. The opening up of these islands and countries to American and European occupation will certainly create a considerable demand for such animals. Cali- fornia, because of her location, should have the first call on that market, and if our breeders first occupy the field they should be able to hold it to their own and the State’s advantage.” Taken as a whole the report is one of interest and instruction. Its official statistics speak for and of the welfare of the State with more authority and there- fore with more influence than an ordinary pamphlet could do. Every page of it bears evidence of the abounding prosperity of our rural industries and at- tests the statement of the preface: “Industry and in- telligence when applied to a fertile soil can, under a cloudless sky, achieve an infinity of accomplishment.” s e e —— The Pacific Mail Steamship Company intends to raise its oriental passenger rates. There is no indi- cation, however, that the coolie boarding-house on the Mail Dock will be conducted at less profit. As a boarding-house master Schwerin is a glittering suc- cess. Populists are trying to persuade themselves to meet at Kansas City at the same time as the Silver Repub- licans and the Democrats. The next thing we will probably hear of is that a cyclone has struck the town just to complete the mix-up. The wheels of the coolie “native son” mill are al- ready being clogged in the United States courts. It might not be amiss for the authorities to attempt to Populist leaders insist that they are absolutely un- selfish in their demands upon the American people. This probably accounts for the fact that they so suc- cessfully suppress themselves at the polls. e S e e e e e S e o oy \ B B e .

As is well known, the white man cannot live and compete with a race of men who live as do the Chinese, in _bunks three feet by six by four, maintaining in the same room all their cooking and dinin; utensils, dishes, chopsticks and the whole neces- gary paraphernalia of life kept with- in their cramped, unnatural and dimin- ished sleeping apartments. These are well- known conditions under which ~those hordes of filthy Mongoliana ive and under which it is impossible for the American bread-winner to live; nor should they be /forced to live or subscribe to any such filthy, disease-breeding or death-dealing ditions. S have observed and considered with deep interest the many suggestions offered, not only by your vaiuable paper but also by the numerous able and earnest speak- ers who addressed the great mass-meet- ing held in Metropolitan Temple in vour city last Tuesday evening for the laudable urpose of preventing by enforcing the smnue exclusion act with energy and to the full extent of the letter and spirit of the law, that our beautiful and glorious Callfornia and the Pacific Coast may not be overrun by an innumerable horde of half-starved heathen Chinese to the det- riment and misfortune of American tofl- ers and wealth-producers. In view of the above fact It appears that bol- stered up, false and perjured testi- mony has_been employed for many vears past for the express purpose of de- eating the Chinese exclusion act and en- abling an unscrupulous gang of schemers to wax wealthy by the defeat and shame- less violation of said act. Many years ago I read the testimony of a very gulleless Chinese maiden, a native daughter, to be sure, who swore positively that she saw snow from six to ten or more inches deep on Jackson and Pacific streets and on Telegraph Hill ail winter and every winter. And vet in the face of all these glaring falsehoods she was al- fowed to land in the city as a native daughter. In view of this bold disregard of the law and of truth it would seem to any ordinary mind that some simple act of the Legislature couid be framed and adopted that would most effectually and forever put a final stop to gambling in human chattel siaves and that would re- peal and cancel forever the premium on perjury and false lweaflnf that now ap- ars possible in the landirg of law-pro- ibited Asiatics in this copntry. ‘An act of the Legisiature or an act of Conj s requiring all parents to register the birth of each and all their children within ninety days after thelr birth would seem to fill the bill exactly and would be very Inexpensive and save much valuable time now wasted and lost in the United States courts and bv the collectors of the various ports where Chinese are land- ed. When those Chinese registered na- tives, with or without thelr parents, take otfon to visit China or any other for- country th‘e?r could easily obtain a copy of the registration of their birth. And to prevent possible fraud each in- tending traveler should appear in person before the Recorder and give him satis- proof of his or her identity. The Recorder should always investigate can- dldates, demarding ccrtificates of their birth, as to whether they could talk the of the United States or not.

The d&- ence s so great between an American- born Mongolian and a native Chinese Mongolian that no American could be de- ceived by the substitution_of the native Chinese for an American Mongolian. I believe that the honest execution of some such simple measures as these sug- | gested in this communication would solve | the problem of protecting American labor | from competition with the Chinesa and enforcing the exclusion act as its authors | intended without fraud or failure.

A rule of the game of casino is that if a player holds two or three cards of the same denomination and one or more cards of the same denomination are upon the board he may play one of the said cards from his hand and call the denomination in the plural number, in which event his adversary cannot com- bine and take It, or any of the cards of that denomination with a card of a dif- ferent denomination; neither can he em- ploy them to build ‘upon. If A has an eight and an ace and there are enough cards on the table to enable him to make, with the ald of his ace, three combina- tions of eight he has the right to placs these cards together and call out “eights,” not ‘‘elght,” and hig adversary can take them oniy’ with an eight. If there was such a combination on the table and B should throw down an eight instead of taking the combination A would have the right to take that also with his eight. preihusataes e~ St ey OLD COINS AND OTHERS-Sample 20c or $5 for 100 booklets, gv\nz valuations of coins.
