NE of the significant features of the local cam- paign is the change in the attitude of the Democratic stalwarts toward Phelan. One | year ago his name was potent enough to conjuré with, and every Democratic candidate of that time used it for that purpose. Ncw the name of Phelan is a hoodoo, and every Democratic candidate in this con- | test is trying day and night to keep it from falling like | a blight upon his ‘canvass. The people have notoriously short memories politics, and yet most San Francisco voters can re- | czll how eagerly every Democratic candidate Jast | year declared himseli a Phelan man, how earnestly. | each of them insisted that his nomination had been given to him because it was known he was a friend of b can therefore note the extent and com- | he change that has come over the Demo- tic camp when they observe this year an equal | in eagerness to l’c{l;l'hal\: Phelan and an equal earnest- ress in denying that he had any control of the-forces | hat nominated them. One year ago Phelan held the Democratic conven- tion in the hollow of his hand; he virtually dictated every nomination it made; he arranged the slate and was chief party to every deal and bargain that was | agreed upon in making it up. The nominees did not | disclaim his power. They boasted of it. They went before the voters* loudly proclaiming themsely “Phelan’s choice.” They asked support upon ‘the ground that Phelan had picked them out as men | whom he could rely upon to carry out his policies and | administer their offices according to his programme. ! This year all is changed. Phelan is utterly discred- | ited. No one admits himself to be a supporter of the | Phelan administration. No one asks for support be- | cause he is or even was a friend of Phelan. It is all | the other way. Democracy as represented by its can- | didates is anything rather than a Phelan party. Every one of its candidates dodges Phelanism with | much vigor as Bryan dodges the ice trust question. fickle has long been | ameis not wholly upor ! That the Democratic party known, but in this case the b the party. Phelan in office has been a complete fail- | ure. His promises of municipal improvement under the new charter administered by him have proven to le as were Bryan’s predictions of calamity in He has used all the powers of his office to build himself up, and yet so incapable is he that everything | hy has done to advance his political fortunes has had the opposite effect. Hardly anywhere can be found | such an example of a man making a political bank- ‘ ruptcy so completely and so quickly by the ns he took to make his political fortune. | Upon every issue that has arisen he has gone wrong | and has blundered in the.going. He has sacrificed the municipality to the Democratic “push” and yet he has offended the push itself. He has even alienated | the organ that in former days used to uphold him as | the model Mayor. From one end of the Democratic » to the other he is derided, mocked at, flouted denounced. It is a striking proof of the man’s blind vanity that in this very hour when his former followers are de- serting and condemning him in this city he goes forth for be as f very 4 to stump the te as an aspirant the United righer honors ev: State Senate.

Perhaps he has been reading the signs of the times and is going to tell us in advance what will happen to his friend from Nebraska on November 6. A CASE OF THE UNEXPECTED. CONSIDERABLE attention is given in the Eastern States to a recent table published by The Engineer of London showing the relation between the number of exhibits made ang the prizes won in the machinery and electrical departments of tions of the world. The showing has béen a surp ‘ise We have always regarded machinery as our specialty. To be «leicatéd in art work or in various but we have deemed ourselves easily superior to the rest of the nations in In that expectation we Have been disappointed. In- stead of standing first among the prize-winners in | propartion to exhibitors, we stand very low in the list. From a summary of the tables given by The En- gineer the Americans were awarded one grand prize or gold medal for every 7.8 exhibits of machinery. This is the worst result attained, for Switzerland comes first, with only 0.58 of one entry for each grand prize or gold medal. Next in order is Belgium, 1.6 entries; Germany, 1.8; l}usn’ia, 2.8; Russia, 3.2; France, 3.8; Hungary, 4.7; Great Britain, 46. In electrical apparatus, too, the Americans stand last, the Austria, 1.1 entries for each grand prize or gold medal; Germany, 1.3; Hun- Great Britain, 4.2; Belgium, 4.6; United States, 9.8. Several explanations have been offered to account | for the bad showing. One of them is to the effect that political considerations must have had some in- fluence upon the minds of the judges, the argument a desire on the part of the French to please the Rus- jans. Other explanations are that many of the American exhibits of machinery went down with the steamer Pauillac; that owing to the remoteness of the exposition and the intense rush of business at home we might have done. When due allowance is made for all these factors, however, there will still remain a good deal that needs explaining. It is well known that conclusions drawn from per- centages are very apt to be deceptive. If we sent twenty times as much machinery as some rival coun- tries whose exhibitors sent only their very best, it is quite natural that our percentage of awards should be lower. Reports from Paris concerning other depart: ments of exhibits show results of that kind. Thus it has ! been announced that Norway and Sweden surpassed 1 Italy in the percentage of prizes for decorative art. No one will suppose that those countries have any- thing like the artistic industry of Italy, any more than that the Russians are equal to the United States in the manufacture of machinery. Should a full investigation of the subject be made it will probably be found that a large number of American exhibits of machinery were sent to the ex- position mainly for advertising purposes and that it | was of all grades and kinds, so that while we had THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL;, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1900. ceives in Bryan's influence’in our politics a Positive | @ it i DEMOCRATIC JURIST OF NEBRASKA OPPOSES THE CANDIDACY OF BRYAN TSI Judge'_W. D. McHugh CannotSupport the Ch am- pion of “Free Silver, Free Riot and UDGE ‘W. D. McHUGH of Omiaha, for some years a leader of the Democratic forces in Nebraska, is as strongly opposed to Bryan In this campaign as he was in- 189, when he bolted the Chicago platform. In 18%0 and 1892 Judge McHugh was among the most active workers for Mr. Bryan in his Congressional campaign, but in 1863, when the present Presidential candi- date forced the free coinage of silver upon the party in Nebraska and made it a conspicuous and leading issue, the Judge ceased to be oge of his supporters. In the following statement Judge Mc- Hugh tells why he capnot support Bryan: Editor San dsco Call: When Bryan was first put up as a Congressional candidate he was an unknown quantity.

He is absolutely selfish and inconsiderate of the interests of his fellow beings. His public speeches, in which he prom- ises so much to everyhody but himself, are calculated to benefit no one but him- self. In 188 he found the people of the country in depressed circumstances and told them that their deliverance depended | solely upon the election of himself to the | Presidency and the immediate free coin- age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 | people rejected him and his money theory and have since become prosperous. Now Bryan would, if he could, abandon the issue upon which he made the campaign of 1396, but his plans miscarried. The Sioux Falls convention, by nominating a candidate for the Vice Presidency against the will of Bryan and his managers, showed that the Populists were by no means tractable. n order to satisfy the Populists it was necessary for Bryan to Insist upon the reiteration of the 15 to 1 plank at Kansas City. The free silver issue is a had one for the Bryanites to handle this year, after the country has recovered from the hard times without having adopted the course which in 1596 they declared would be the one and only way to bring prosperity.

This year he tells them that the Philippine Islands freedom and liberty will be endangered and the very existence (:!f thy of_the republic threatened. Bryan as President would be a menace to peace as well as to commerce.

A permanent na- tional bank currency, secured by-Government bonds, must have a permanent debt to rest upon, and if the bank curréncy is to increase with population and busi- ness, the debt must also increase. The Republican currency scheme is, therefore, a scheme for fasten- ing upon the taxpayers a perpetual and growing debt for the benefit of the tanks. We are opposed to this private corporation paper circulated as money, but without legal tender qualities, and demand the retire- ment of national bank notes, as the Government paper of silver certificates can be substituted for them.” Of all that was promised by that plank of the plat- form the ®Wyanites have given us little or nothing. Hardly a single piping voice has been heard in the way of denunciation of the currency bill, or in appeals sition to it. In one respect that is unfortunate, for it would have been well to have had the attention of the country directed to the measure in order that all might have learned how far it has been successful. The effects of, the operation of the act have thus far justified the wisdom of the men who enacted it, and they could with safety challenge®ny Bryanite to meet them in debate on the issue. 3 The currency law coes more than remove all doubt concerning the standard of value. It directs that all forms of money issued or coined by the United States shall be maintained at a parity of value with this standard, and it is made the duty of the Sec- retary of the Treasury to maintain such parity. Bet- ter banking facilities for the country districts are pro- vided by this act, the minimum capital being reduced to $25,000 in places of not over 3000 population.

HILE the rulers of the nations are gravely debating with one another how they shall making spoil of civilized nations by superseding the | registered at the Grand. white warkers and gathering to themselves the indus- tries of the world. We have had the issue of Chinese immigration and cheap and persistent labor so clearly defined and fully exploited in California that it is difficult for us to un- derstand how blind ri¥any intelligent men in the East- ern States and in Europe are to the danger. Hitherto the Chinese labor problem has been regarded in those countries as something péculiar to the Pacific Coast. It now appears to be manifesting itself elsewhere. In London, at any rate, the subject has attracted a good deal of attention by reason of the activity of a firm in that city engaged in the business of importing Chinese laundrymen. A representative of the Lon- don Chronicle, who called upon a member of the firm for the purpose of obtaining information about the business, reports him as saying in the course of th conversation: . “This 1s only the beginning of our venture. We shall have 1200 Chinamen at work in London by Christmas next. Our Chinamen will give you really clean linen for the first time In your lives. There s no_ one who can wash like him. He uses nejther chemicals nor machinery, but does it all with his knuckles, using at the same time plenty of water.” “‘Looks like the thin end of the Chinese wedge, doesn’t it?" I said. “If we are to have heathen laundrymen why not domestic servants, and cooks, coachmen, and so on?” “That's a question for you to answer. Why not, in- deed? A lady drove up to my office to-day and asked me to supply her. with two Chinese servants. I could not comply, for all my men are laundrymen. should jmport Chinese servints to-morrow, only that the fare is prohibitive—£25 from Hongkong—and the whole thing would be in the nature of an experiment. But if per- sons desirous of having Chinese servants will pay the passage money, they can have as many as they like of the bel;t, cleanest, and the most docile servants in the world." That is the way the game is developing. Europe is sending armies into China, and China is sending the advance guard of hosts of workers into Europe. ‘What is to be the result? Russia has pushed her em- pire until it reaches the Chinese border, and she is now eager to break down-the border and extend her rule over millions of Chinese. Suppose she succeeds in doing so. Will it result in the annexation of China over $20,000,000. While the Bryanites have said nothing about the | currency bill during the campaign, the declaration of their platiorm is nevertheless worth keeping in mind. Bryan is known to be reckless in matters of finance. Should he attain the Presidency with a -Democratic Congress to support him the whole financial system of the Government will be disturbed and all business paralyzed.
