F clected Colonel Bryan stands pledged for free sil- ver at 16 to 1; to the abolition of representative government by direct legislation; to the destruc- tion of judicial independence, by jury trial for con- tempt of court; to a change in the life tenure of Su- preme Court Jus and the degradation of that Telephone Press 201 | court as a co-ordinate branch of the Government; to Market and Third, S. . | denial of the freedom of contract; to plunging the 3 | Government into the dangers, difficulties and corrup- tion of public ownership of all the instruments of commerce; and, finally, to the unlimited emission of greenbacks as a legal tender currency. with all its con- sequences, including the disappearance of gold and silver both from circulation and the progressive de- cline of the purchasing power of the paper. This last involves, as he admits, the overthrow of our banking system and the sudden liquidation of every national bank in the country. If he is a man possessing a's of honor, or ever ordinary persomal prudence, the power of his office will at once be used in effecting these objects. I he is elected he will carry a House of Representatives in with him, and the Senate will pass into his control easil the middle of his term. We have stated his purposes from the several plat- forms on which he stands and from his own pledges, uttered on the stump. He finds himself unable to gain power by the votes of those who stand with him in urging the necy are in a minorit % v of the changes he proposes. They Without allies their cause is hope- To get the necessary allies he appeals to the opponents of expansion. Now this class, numesous and conscientious and in- telligent, do not want any of the changes, innovations less, d novelties which Colonel Bryan is pledged to se- cure. of the courts, to taking away the co-ordinate charac- ter of the Supreme Court, to impairing the freedom of contract, to putting the country on a greenback basis and to the sudden and destructive liquidation of the national banks. They are asked to give Colonel Bryan the power to do all these things because he promises them what they want as to the Philippines. Will they get it? I Rryan is elected the party behind him will have a vast ority in the South. That section will give him 120 electoral votes, io which anti-expansionists asked to add enough to make a majority in the Elec- teral College. The South is the only section that is practically unanim@us for expansion, for holding the Philippines, and even for violating our pledge of in- dependence to Cuba. When we state this we state a fact. n had its birth in the South. That section has always wanted the West Indies. The Democratic party. split in 1860, and its two wings agreed in only one thir Each, in its platform, de- manded the seizure and annexation of Cuba. Differ- ing about slavery in the Territories, and quarreling ever the constitutionality of disunion, they heartily agreed in supporting the Democratic doctrine of the Ostend manifesto. Tn the issue now in focus Morgan of Alabama, chairman of the Committee of Foreign Affairs in the Democratic Senate, was the first advocate of holding the Philippines. In a speech in this city in 1898, be fore Manila fell. he said: “Our flag is in the Philip- The hand of God planted it there, anid it will not be hauled dcwn.” We have reproduced columns of demands for hold- ed as editorial in the Ex- aminer and some of it signed by Hearst himself. Seven-tenths of the daily papers in the South are against Bryan's “paramount issue.” - In that section Democratic leaders openly say that if Bryan is elected Fxpan : | the South will controi Congress and will not permit a year the Examiner was an ally | the alienation of the Philippines. To our mind it is as plain as anything in the future can be to man, that if elected Bryan will not alienate the Philippines. He will not let them go, because he cannot. The treaty of Paris, for which he lobbied, specifically leaves their future status to Congress, and a Democratic Congress Tt will be seen, then. that in electing Bryan the anti- expansionists of the North will be getting all that they do not want, from iree silver to a greenback basis, and will not 'grt the one thing they do want. The South, perhaps, ants all the domestic changes | threatened by Bryan and it wants the Philippines, and will get all it wants. It will be seen that Bryan relies upon those who repudiate his paramount issue to give him 120 elec- toral votes, and upon those who repudiate all'his other issues to add the electoral votes necessary to give him a majority. We ask thinking men who oppose expansion and sound money men. who oppose financial empiricism to look before they leap and think before they vote. What can the country expect from an administra- tion which gets power by such influences? What can it do for the country that will be safe and sound and conduce to its prosperity? What headway can it make against a poweriul majority of its own party in Congress that stands unbroken and determined to hold the Philippines? And what can the sound money men and those who believe in the constitutional co- ordination and independence of the judiciary do to restrain it in effectuating its policies toward the cur- rency and the courts? 5 We are aware, we have knowledge of the fact, that many men who dislike Bryan, who believe him a char- latan, without either honesty or capacity, propose to vote for him and hope to elect him in order to ex- | plode the Bryan myth by proving that he does not possess the capacity 1o rin the Government. They be- lieve he will-be a.failure, and that the panic, fear ani uncertainty that ‘will follow will be such an object les- to.the Presidency. 3 We don’t agree with that view of. .it.. We _think such voters are-wronz. Bryan can be disposed of as effectually at the polls as by his owin failure in ‘office, and without harm to the country, and such disposition will be just:as salutary warning to his imitators as if accompanied by panic and overthrow of our indus- tries and: institutions. 2 A 'COSPER OF KINGS.

SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, FOR HONEST POLITICS. MONG the candidates for the Senate whom f\ The Call has recommended to the voters in the various Senatorial districts of this city are Joseph M. Plunkett of the Seventeenth and W. E. White of the Twenty-first. The election of these candidates will give not only the satisfaction of good men in office, but the further gratification to honest men of the defeat of James E. Flynn in the Seven- teenth and E. I. Wolfe in the Twenty-first—two men who represent about the lowest phase of American | politics, Joseph M. Plunkett has lived for thirty-one years in his present home. He has made his way upward in business and in the esteem of his fellow-citizens by in- dustry, honesty and every other manifestation of true manliness.. He is a thoroughly representative Cali- | fcrnian. He has been faithful to every responsibility | in private life, and can be counted on to be equally | faithful in office. He is known to his constituents | and knows their interests and their wishes. Upon the | score of knowledge and of ability, therefore, as well as upon that of honesty, he merits the support of all | good citizens. The candidate who has been nominated = against him, James E. Flynn, is a creature of Crimmins. He has no strength except that which Crimmins and the railroad have placed at his disposal. Nothing in his past life gives the people any assurance or even a promise of fidelity in office. In the Senate he would represent nothing but Crimmins and those whom Crimmins serves. Those who desire to give Crim- | mins a pliant tool in the State Senate may vote for nn. Those who ebject to the manners, the mora | and the methods of the Mint saloon boss will vote for Plunkett. W. E. White, who is upholding the cause of honest politics in the Twenty-first District, is not unknown to public life. He has served the people in the A sembly, and the service was honorable alike to him- self and to the district he represented. He has been tried and found true to the best interests of the State and the welfare of his constituents. He serves the State and not the bosses. He is for honest politics and cannot be swerved from duty by either the blan- dishments or the threats of corrupt corporations and their allied .bosses. Against Mr. White the bosses have nominated the notorious E. I. Wolfe. That man’s record is well known to all who have given any attention whatever to State politics. He has been in office and has re- -caled the nature of his political ideas.. He has posed as a Republican and as a representative of the people, but he has been neither the one nor the other. He has been prompt and :eady to give service to any boss or to the Southern . Pacific Railroad whenever he could make such service profitable for himself. He is for Wolfe all the time. These two men, Flynn and Wolfe, have been nomi- nated by Martin Kelly, who was raised to power in | the Republican convention by Herrin of the Southern Pacific and the Hon. W. C. Van Fleet. After Kelly | got into power Herrin took alarm and through his | evening organ called upon decent Republicans to “kick Kelly”” out. The repentance of Herrin came too Iate, if, indeed. his repentance was anything more than | a blind. Kelly named his ticket, putting some good men on it for decency’s sake, but also putting Flynn and Wolfe on it for the sake of things quite the oppo- site of decency. | The issue is up to the people. The questions it forces upon the voter are these: Do you wish_to be | represented in the State Senate or do you wish to give your district representation to Crimmins and Kelly and the Southern Pacific Railread? Do you wish honesty or corruption in office? Do you wish to | permit the Southern Pacific Company to gerrymander the political districts of California at the coming ses- sion? If you be willing o sacrifice your interests to tha dictates of the bosses, then work for Wolfe or for | Fiynn. 1i you wish to maintain your rights and up- liold with-a patriot's regard the honesty of the State government, then work for Joseph M. Plunkett or for W. E. White. Wthe Democrats may have founded upon the comparative apathy which prevailed among Republicans during the summer and the early part of September have vanished with the summer days. The progress of the Republican campaign has been marked by an increasing enthusiasm among the people in all partg of the Union, until now so much of activity and ardor is ‘displayed that there is no longer any cause for doubting the triumphant re-election of McKinley. In California the awakening of the masses to tl;c rallying cry of prosperity has been notable at every meeting held by the Republican party. From point after point come reports of gatherings as large and as ardent as those which roused up the people to give the Republican ticket the splendid and unprecedented majority of 1896. - In this State, indeed, the majority — NO LONGER APATHETIC.

By the decision of the Supreme Court the constitutional amendments proposed at the extra session of the Legislature are null and vold because they were not included among the subjects with which the extra session was called to deal. The decision settles the amendment pro- posed at the extra session creating three appellate courts. There remains the amendment substantially the same which was passed at the regular session. It will be submitted to the popular vote in No- vember. The Supreme Court having killed the extra session amendment, the peoylo should kill that of the regular session, for both: are bad. There is not the slightest need in Cali- fornia for the proposed courts. Each of them is to have three Justices, making nine in all, and in addition there are to. be the usual officers, clerks and stenograph- Something of expense will therefore be added to the already high cost of the State judiciary.—San Francisco Call. The Democrat is pleased to note that The Call stands with the people against this effort to foist upon the people of Cali- fornia additional officlals, when there is not demand for them. When the scheme was first advanced by Senator Cutter the Democrat contended that |t Was entirely without merit to commend it. Since then on two oecasions the Democrat had point- ed out the weak points in the scheme and advised defeating both proposed amend- ments should thev be submitted to the people. 'We had taken the pesition from the first that the present system of judi- clary is ample for twice the number of inhabitants now in the State: therefore the propesed increase in number of Judges is entirely unnecessary. Part of the scheme was to provide for court re- porters in all judicial distriets, to be ap- inted by the court, with annual salary stead of per diem when in actual ser- vice. An office was to be created and large salary fixed to be paid out of coun- ty treasury, vet the people were to have no voice in the selection of such officer. Senator Cutter also would thrust upon the taxpayers of Sutter County a Judge of the Suierl r Court at a salary of $40w a. year, wher hé knows that it is an un- necessary barden. With another Judge and court, «nd the proposed amendment to the constitution adopted. that Judge could appoiat Mr. Cutter stenographer at a regular salary and the Judge in Yuba eould also appoint him, a continuation of his presert soft snap. —_——— Ladies of the Maccabees.
