Who but Kelly furnished the brains that conceived zs well as the energy dence that executed the plans for carrying out the ad schemes? Why should Herrin wish to kick Kélly out? Why should the railroad organ call upon Republican lead- ers to do the job? Should the railroad managers get control of the Legislature or of the Board of Super- visors there will be jobs galore and money will cir- culate. Is Kelly, who did all the work, to have none of the spoils? There are corporations such asthe Spring Valley Company, the Market-street system, the tele- phone company and others which will have to make contributions for the cducation of the Supervisors on the subject of rates. Is Kelly to have nothing to do with the expenditure of the contributions? After doing most of the fighting is Kelly to be kicked out before the spoils are distributed? W. F. Herrin of the Southern Pacific is the author f Kelly's power in politics at this time, and the Hon \\ C. Van Fleet is sponsor for Kel »pearancd in public.

Valentine supporting the express | trust in the West, it is not te be wondered that Bryan has decided to let the trusts alone this year and do his | | talking against imperialism. THE ARMY OF NEW VOTERS, ENSUS experts estimate that there are now in C the United States something like 3,000,000 young men who will next November have the privilege of casting their first ballot in a Presidential election. In some closely contested States the new ! voters will be numerous enough to turn the scale and decide how the vote oi the State shall be given. A | considerable number of them will follow their fathers | in politics, but it is safe to say a very large proportion | | will study the issues of the time for themselves and make their own choice of the party they will support with their ballots. Such being the case, it is gratify- | ing that Republican leaders are making earnest ef- | forts to instruct young voters on the issues of the time, the events that led up to them and the policies | of the opposing parties with respect to them. The attention of young men is to be directed first | to the fact that the campaign of the Democratic party | this year is made largely upon false issues. The | fraudulent nature of the cry about “imperialism” and | “militarism” should be explained, and the pretensions | of the Democrats to pose as supporters of the | Declaration of Independence and of-the principles of | Lincoln exposed. It is to be pointed nut‘, that the true issue of the time is Bryanism against conserva- tive government. Bryanism means free silver, free trade, national dishonor by a degradation of the cur- rency and industrial disaster by the overthrow of On the other hand. the Republican party protection. once more enters the national campdign as the cham- pion of those great principles of liberty and progress that have brought us to the front rank of the great | nations of the world; it enters the contest under the leadership of William McKinley, one of the purest and | wisest of a long line of illustrious statesmen; it wages unrelenting warfare against the party that has declared for a policy of reaction—that advocates prin- | ciples that would demcralize’ our industries and tar- nish our national honor. For the purpose of enabling young voters to work more effectively in the campaign there has been formed an association known as “The First Voters’ | Republican National League,” and organizations are | being effected in all parts of the country. A recent circular from the national héadquarters of the league | in Chicago says: “Each local league, when organ- ized, shall arrange for regular meetings. appoint a | committee on membership, whose duty it shall be to make a systematic canvass of the first voters, that ths | league may have upon its rolls the name of every Re- | publican first voter in the community: elect a captain, who shall lead the members as they march in parades, and attend meetings, and on election day see to it that every man casts his vote. In addition to its own work the league should be ready to give active assist- FRAN CISCO CALL, ATURDAY, | ance to the regular party organization. "It is of the | greatest importance that the first voters throughout - the land should take up this work. Such action on | their part will not only help to win a victory in the present campaign, but it will do much to prevent a renewal in the future of the attack that is now being made upon the very foundations of r'cpublican govern- ment on this continent.” The work of the league should be heartily taken up and supported in Czlifornia. As is well said in the | circular: “The young men of the country should feel | a peculiar interest in the results of this campaign. 1f the seeds of folly are to be sown, it is they who | must reap the fruits. I this nation is to listen to evil counsels and depart from the path of duty and srogress that it has kept for over a hundred years, if it is to adopt a policy of reaction, if it is to stoop | tc dishonor, if it i§ to pass into the throes of class warfare, the baneful results will fall with greatest weight not upon the present but upofi the genera- tions that are to come.’ The number of prominent supported men Bryan in 1806 but who have now declared for Me- Kinley is a striking proof of the good cffect four years of prosperity have-had upon the minds of men, | cven when they happen to be Democrats. who, SEPTEMBER 15, 1900.

ROMPTLY and liberally have the American p people 1esponded to the appeals of the stricken - districts of Texas. From all parts of the Union a bountiful stream of* contributions have poured in ever since the first cry for help was heard. So large have the donations been that the Governor of Texas cstimates that by to-night the total will exceed $3.000,000. Among the communities that have been most generous San Francisco holds a high rank, and California has been among the foremost of the States. The situation therefore begins to clear up, and along the edge of the retreating clouds of horror is to be seen the glow of charity like a rainbow overarching the land. Large, however, as have been the gifts, the spon- taneous flow of help from a generous people must not yet cease. The disaster at Galveston has been one of those terrific calamities whose direful results outstrip imagination and surpass the exaggeration of statement they inspire. The later stories have not diminished the first wild estimates of death and de- struction. On the contrary, the tale of loss grows from day to day. It was first supposed the loss of | life would be about zc00 and the loss of property : would approach $10,000,000. Later calculations based | | upon the examinations made since the storm increase | the number of deaths to 5000"and the money loss to | $20,000,000. Such a calamity is bound to entail suf- | fering for a long time'to come, and the donatiens | | thus far made will be but a small part of what will | be needed by the stricken people. | After the first burst of sympathy excited by the horror of the appalling story is over thefe will be less | indiscriminate giving, but, on the other hand, those | | who give from principle and from reflection more | | than from mere impulses will doubtless add much to | the contributions in all parts of the Union. | purpose of promoting such donations Governor Gage has acted wisely in appointing a State relief commit- tee, made up of representative men whose interest in all matters of public welfare is well known and who thoroughly represent the sympathies of Californians for all who are in distress. = With the news from Galveston and other storm- swept cities of Texas fresh in the minds of the people will not be necessary to emphasize the need of | making contributions promptly. The wounded, the sick and the homeless cannot wait. Want and hun- ger and death are very near to many, and those grim foes of humanity never wait for time or tide.

The work of the league has now be- *come highly influential throughout the Union, and therefore even in the heat of a political campaign a | good deal of interest will attach to the proceedings of | the meeting. Among the principal papers prepared for the occa- sion are: “The Essential Zlements in Good City THE MUNICIPAL LEAGUE, IRCULARS have been issued announcing the “The Representation of Different City Interests in | the Council,” by Hoa. William Dudley Foulke of Richmond, Ind.; “The Influence of Public Service Companies on City Government,” by Rev. Washing- ton Gladden, D.

The problem of good city government has not yet been satisfactorily seitled in any city in the United States. The various reform charters adopted during the last few years have not produced the full measure | of benefits expected. Most of them, like that of San Francisco, have pgoven not much better than the governments they superseded. By reason of that fact the public interest in the discussions of the league is likely to increase for some time to come. Debate is tiresome at times, and municipal reformers are generally long-winded talkers, but in the_end de- bate justifies itself by bringing out some good plan for grappling with thz evils of the time.
