If it is true that t 1 ntiffs in the suit are men in the offices of As Dodge, Sheriff Lackmann, Coroner Cole, Recorder Godchaux and County Clerk Deane, then t is the duty of those officers to dismiss the offending employes. The foes of the civil service have no right to hold positions in the city government. By becoming parties to the suit in question they have violated the LAW, that is, THE CHARTER, they have conspired to thwart the expressed will of the people who adopted the charter by a great majority, and they have broken their pledges to the jeople. These pledges were formu- lated in the party platform, and both the Republican and the Democratic par in their platforms indorsed the civil service. If I were at the head of one of the offices the employes of which are fighting civil service 1 should discharge every mcn that subscribed money to pay the costs of the suit or otherwise countenanced this attack on the charter, The charter provides that the Mayor may remove the head of any elective office and send him before the Supervisors for trial. 1 Phelan were in any one of the positions now occupied by Dodge, Lackmann, Deane, Cole and Godchaux he says he would re- move his employes for becoming parties to a suit to test the civil service provisions of the cliarter, Yet he possesses the power and does not remove Assessor Dodge for attempting to divert $60,000 in | politax commissions from the treasury into his own pocket, notwithstanding the act constitutes a fiagnm violation of the charter! Nor does he remove Treasurer Brooks for the same offense. That gentleman has a suit designed to se- cure for him the collateral inheritance tax commis- sions alleged to be due him under State laws. will amount in two years to about $10,000. As in the case of Dodge, Mr. Brooks’ salary a year, which is in full for all services. Why does not Phelan remove. these gentlemen for | lating the charter? Is it because they are Demo- crat Or is it becanse what they are doing suits him? Why does he vent kis anger upon the poorly paid | and inoffensive clerks and deputies who are endeay- | oring to protect themselves from his partisan Civil Service Commission? Is it because they are mostiyv opposed to him in politics, or because they are inter- | fering with the forcible appointment of large num- bers of Charley [ ‘organization” Democrats? Phelan ought to take the people into his confidence on this subject. The local yellow sheet has scored another triumph. The property of a dead San Pablo woman whose strange affairs were described in The Call has in- | creased through the wild yarn of the yellow kid from $40000 to $5000000. The incorrigible youngster can’t tell the truth even through a medium. The Los Angeles man whose wife eloped with a Lothario who offered $10,000 for her ought to have seasonable rounds for a complaint of grand larceny. These | is fixed at $4000 | HEARST'S LAST FAKE. LL Indianapolis was already on a broad grin /\ at the\fizzle of Hearst's national convention of Bryanlclubs. The railroads carried in just 1500 passengers ticketed to the meeting. The largest out- | side organization was the Cook County Democrac; {128 strong. Adlai Stevenson, candidate for Vice President, drove in a carriage from the depot to Tom- -, 1linson Hall, preceded by two brass bands and followed by just fifty-six straggling marchers. There was not cheer nor salute of any kind. The day before the meeting and that day, up to 2 o'clock in the afternoon. was spent in tryThg to find Hearst, the president, whose flamboyant proclamation had cailed the host of 1500 together. At last he was discovered in Chicago nd excused himself from coming on the score of ill- ness. When Chairman Jones arrived in Indianapolis he said: “We saw Hearst to-day in Chicago and he said he was coming, but he was not on the train.” This rather contradicted Hearst's illness excuse. But the crowning fake was in the evening. Thou- sands of copies of Hearst's Chicago American “club convention extra” wer distributed in the convention and over the city containing an account of the conven- tion which exhausted superlatives, bankrupted hyper- bole and didn’t leave a metaphor in the box. It was headed: “Special of Hearst's Chicago American, by special wire from Indianapolis.” Leaving out the headlines and cutting off some of | the frills, here it is: INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 3.—Three thousand five hundred delegates were seated in Tomlinson Hall when the greatest convention known in the history of the Natipnal Association of Democratic Clubs was called to order. them, thronging the cheered for Bryan and Stevenson and Democracy. Those 700 had come to Indianapolis from all sections of the United States. They represented States from Maine to California, and they brought the rallying cry, “All for Bryan.” This, the quadrennial convention of the National As- sociation, eclipses every former meeting in the history of the organization. During the morning special trains hurried into the city from east, north, west and south. Thousands of marchers were on the streets, their long lines dotted with banners declaring for a republican government, not an “empire,” and against trust prosperity. It was long after 2 o'clock when the convention was called to order, but all roads led to Tomlinson Hall dur- ing the early morniug hours. Hundreds were in their seats at the noon hour waiting for the fall of the gavel. About 2 o'clock the special train from Chicago pulled into the Big Four station. Dozens of marching organ- izations were drawn up at the platforms, roaring out a welcome, and W. R. Hearst, president of the associa- tion, went at once to the Grand Hotel, aeccompanied by tor James K. Jones, chairman of the Demacratic ational Committee, and escorted by the leaders from Chicago and the 300 delegates who came on the special train. Now dint of drumming, and picking up often only one man from a State, the rollcall showed just | twenty-one of the forty-five States represented. The rgest marching club was the Cook County, Illinois, st 128 strong. The Indianapolis Sentinel (Bry by b organ) published that the hall was not opened till | 1:40 p. m., instead of being filled at noon. But the humiliating exposure of the whole lying fake was the | account of the arrival oi Hearst himself, getting “roaring welcome” and marching to the Grand Hotel with Senator Jones, when he was not there at all. Indianapolis had grinned before, but when it read this special it laughed. That is, all but the Bryan men langhed. They turned their faces to the wall and swore. That sip exposed the whole fake. Hearst's writers had written up the whole iridescent rot in Chi- it was It was not a truthful cago; never wired from Ind anapolis at all. ccount of anything that hap- iliation of the day's t the leas: among those who enjoyed it were the other Dem cratic newspaper men, who are not pleased \\n‘ Hearst's constant use of party gatherings to advertise himself and his three newspapers. They are growing tired of his blowhard tactics and representation of himself as the whole thing. There is something odd in the report that the Em- peror of Austria has forbidden the use of automobiles in any way at the maneuvers of the Austrian army. It has been believed hitherto that the Austrians were keeping up with the procession in military matters, but that report sounds different D various European capitals relating to Chinese affairs show that the concert of the powers has not beensimproved to any freat extent by the agree- ment to accept Count von Waldersee as Generalis- simo. Indeed a Berlin dispatch of the gth stated that up to that time no news of him had been received by the German War office since the announcement that he had arrived at the front and taken charge of af- fairs. It is said to be taken for granted that the de- | tails of organization have absorbed his attention to such an extent he has had no time to dictate reports. Other capitals appear to have been more fortunate than Berlin. They have heard about Waldersee, if not from him, and the reports are by no means sat- isfactory. Thus a London dispatch says the General- vi<simo has decided to divide the administration of the railways in Northern China between the Germans | and the Russians to the exclusion of all the other | powers. The action is said to be a proof of the humble position Great Britain has been compelled to | take in that part of the Chinese empire, and of the in- | difference of Germany and Russia to British interests | or British power. | Other evidences of z lack of harmony are reported. | A dispatch to the New York Sun from Tientsin says: “The growing unfriendliness between the troops of the various nations has not been ameliorated by twn | recent incidents. The English were invited to par- ticipate in an expedition sent to capture the Peitang ports, and the Russians and Germans took the place October 1 without waiting for the arrival of the Brit- lish. The other was when the British gunboat Pigmy on September 30 landed a force of marines at Shan- haikwan and took the forts there. The Russians at Port Arthur had planned an expedition against this | place and did not learn of the action of the British until October 2.” | About the only thing that appears to have heen gained is the consent of the Chinese to surrender to the Christian powers the heads which Kaiser William | nas demanded as a preliminary to peace negotiatjons. It has been announced that Ying Nien, president of | the Censorate; Yang Yi, assistant grand secretary and ‘prflvdem of the Civil Board, and Chao Shu Chias, | president of the Board of Punishment, will be decapi- \ tated; that Prince Chwang, Duke Tsai Lan and Prince Yih will be sentenced to life imprisonment. { and that Prince Tuan_will be banished to the imperia! military post roads on the Siberian frontier. The arrival at headquarters of the heads without | the bodies of these dxgmlznes may have a stimulating effect upon-the concert and give Waldersee an oppor- | tunity to send a dispatch to the Kaiser. There are, | however, omens of greement among the allies even upon that point. Some authorities are suspicious the Chinese may give the Generalissimo a gold brici in the shape of heads cut from the bodies of quite or- dinary Chinamen instead of the heads of the digni- THE MUDDLE IN CHINA, ISPATCHES from the Orient and from alleries, 4000 people | al taries. It is therefore urged that the Chinese be com- ! pelled to deliver the offending chiefs body and all alive and kicking into the hands of Waldersee so that he may be sure of getting the game he is after. In fact, it might not_be a bad scheme to segd the whole outfit to the Kaiser and give him the satisfaction of fleshing his virgin sword by making the dccapltatlons himself. The Chinese Government has been noted from of old for duplicity, cruelty and bloodshed; but up to this time the allied powers of Christendom have done nothing to set a better example to the Empress Dow- | ager and her council. They have demanded of her | the heads of her chiefs. and if some turn of affairs | should give her the power to make demands she ?migln with reason demand the head of Waldersee. It is a bad muddle all round, so it is not surprising the Generalissimo refrains from writing about it. s ——— Out of the British elections there has come a new phrase that may some day be of use here. Mr. Cham- berlain has been charged with being “a poisonal menace to the world.” It is understood that to be poisonous is not half so bad as to be poisonal. | — THE FIGHT FOR THE HOUSE. AREFULLY collected reports from all States that have been considered doubtiul render it | McKinley will be triumphantly re-elected to the Presidency. The same reports, however, show that there is by no means the same assurance of the return of a Republican majority to the House of Represen- | tatives. The fight in the Congressional districts con- stitutes the danger point of the campaign, and to those contests all loyal Republicans should now give | their close attention and devote their energies. Republicans control the present House by a very narrow majority. That fact has been noted bythe more astute Democratic leaders, and, knowing that Bryan's House. In nearly every district they have nominated about the best man they could induce to stand for Bryanism, and as a consequence are in a position to rally to the standards of the Congressional candidatss a much larger following than they can get to support the electoral ticket. It is therefore a hard fight that awaits the Republicans in many a district, and voters | should fully realize the fact. | It is hardly necessary to point out to intelligent | men the importance of electing a House of Repre- sentatives in harmony with the administration. Many great measures are to be dealt with by the next Con- gress. ‘ House there will be time for the transaction of little | more than routine business. It is probable the ship- ‘ping bill, the caragua canal bill, the immigration restriction bill and measures devised for the govern- ment of the Philippines may have to be postponed un- | til the gathering of the next Congress. | be so the Democrats, by obtaining control of the House of Representatives, might and probably would | seriously hamper the administration in effecting the | needed legislation along lines conforming to Repub { lican principles. | California should be represented at Washington by | a solid Republican delegation. Both Senators from the State are now Republicans. - It remains to elect a | Republican from every Congressional district. | be of advantage in many way | harmony with the administration. There is much in | the way of Federal legislation and of appropriations | | needed to advance Californian interests. These can | be obtained much better by Congressmen in harmony with the Government than by those who would be | opposed to it. Furthermore, even if State interests were not concerned, dc their share in sending to Washington men who will other Republican measures which tend to maintain the prosperity of the people. It is to be borne in mind, moreover, that most of have had experience in the House and are therefore, to look after Californian interests in the House than their opponents. These men have been tried in Con- gress and have been found faithful and efficient. Soms of them hold important posi are able to be of greater service than any new man could possibly be. There is not a Congressional district in the State work hard. personally. They are known among the most emi- nent of their fellow citizens and can be counted on to uphold faithfully every interest of their constituents and of the people generally. They are therefore en- titled to the support not only of the Republicans, but of the independent voters of their districts, and in to expect from the administration. solid delegation to suppert it. Let us send a The Filipinos are now using American guns, it is said. They probably never heard that story of the man behind the gun and what he means to the other fellow. M name on the list of those Californians whose munificent generosity entitles them to honor, | and who by their liberality have erected a memorial more lasting than marble—one of permanent benefit to the cause of education. Her gift of $100,000 to the University of California comes at an opportune time, and is to be devoted to some of the noblest purpeses of the institution. In itself it will be of advantage to the State, and by its example it will incline éther per- sons of wealth to be cqually liberal in supporting the general good. It is gratifying that Mrs. Sather has 1nade the giit now instead of waiting to dispose of it by will. In the first place the action saves the gift from the dan- ger of being wasted in litigation over any will she | might have made, and in the second place it enables a grateiul public to have the satisfaction of showing to her how cordially her help given to the university is appreciated by all. It is better to have the privilege of thanking the living than to pfnounce eulogiums upop the dead. ¢ It is a wonderful future that lies before the Univer- sity of California. As the State increases in wealth and population its revenue from taxation will aug- ment, but they will not be the only sources of its greatness. It is already evident thnt Californians are to take the same patriotic pride in Berkeley that Massachusetts people take in Harvard, and that the donations of liberal men and women are to be among | its chief riches. It is well it should be $0. Such a re- | lation between the university and the wealth of the | State will redound to the honor of both. Many will be the gifts to Berkeley in the years to come, and Mrs. Sather may justly be ¢ congratulated upon having her name enrolled among the most liberal of those who give them. MRS. SATHER'S GIFT.

The announcement of his intention to support McKinley is a surprise, as he has been a life-long Democrat, and it was thought that he would be with his party on national issues. *In the | following stat>ment Mr. Lieber gives | his reasons for abandoning the De- mocracy: Editor San Francisco Call: T am going to support McKinley. In the first place | T am not afraid of imperialism. I think | it Is ridiculous to even debate that propo- | sition. I know something of empires and | monarchical governments and I want to say that if there were even the slightest | chance of an empire being established in | this country I would be one of the first | to rebel—to shoot, if necessary. If there | really were any such prospect there would be secret meetings at all hours of these balmy nights and people would be arming themselves. But there is nothing in such talk. Imperlalism is a myth and the Dem- ocratic party will have to back down on the “paramount issue” proposition. If there were any danger of imperial- ism there would be no Democrats and no Republicans. They all would be anti-im- perialists. We have gone through one | crisis with McKinley and he has proved himeelf equal to the emergency. Looking at the situation from a busi- ness standpoint he has opened new mar- | kets for this country in Cuba, Porto Rlco | and Manila. I believa this nation to be as intelligent as any other first-class na- tion and able to govern any new terri- tory that may come along under its juris- diction to the satisfaction of the people. I believe there is no doubt, so far as busi- ness is concerned, that if McKinley is re- elected there wiil be no business commo- tion; whereas, iIf Bryan is elected, every buxlness man_will stop to see what he is going to do, thus bringing about n temporary standstill, which means much.
