From his beginging in public life ‘Mr: Bryan has been against everything that is. ophy urges him to advocate the rebuilding of human society on its failures and diseases, treating its suc- | | | forms contain no constructive principle. They pro- | pose to destroy znd not to build. His speeches are | negations. During his present campaign he had personal con- tact with a laboring man, who said that he was doing very well now, as the revival of industry had given ! him steady work and wages. To this Bryan replied, “Are you doing as well as you would like to?” | The laborer of course answered that he would like | to do better, though he feit that he was doing well. Bryan then proceeded to denounce conditions under | which every man could not do as well as he wished to do. - In this sinister way he seeks to arouse discon- tent, not of the sort that is thankiul for what is and hopes for something better, but of that kind that may be led to hate and d=stroy what is, treating it as in- { imical to human weliare. | His continual harping on trusts is not caused by any evil in trusts, nor is it accompanied hy any clear idea of a remedy. Its motive is the desire to arouse prejudice. He has simply substituted trusts “Wall street,” as Wall street was substituted for the more ancient bogy, “Rothschild.” Whenever dema- gogues in this country have sought to lead the people | n the path of destruction they have used a bogy. When the State of Mississippi was nrged to repu- diate her bonds the demagogues gave no other rea- son than that they were owned by Rothschild. The Governor of that State in his repudiation message to the Legislature said: “These bonds have been hy- pothecated and are owned by Rothschild, a descend- 2nt of Judas and Shylock, and possessing.the evil tincts of both his ancestors. He has Joaned money to the Sublime Porte, and for security holds 2 mort- gege on the city of Jerusalem and the sepulcher of Chri ! That settled it. Mississippi immediately repudiated ver recovered from the evil it wronght upon her public credit. The purpose of her Governor { was purely destructive, and he accomplished it by an appeal to prejudice. Bryan's method is exactly the He has never had a constructive policy or pre- posed to use what is excellent in existing conditions as a2 foundation on which to build greater excellence. It is his policy that has driven business men and | laboring men of intelligence out of his party. The cld Democracy was not destructive. It was construc- ive. The men who believed in it do not believe in Bryan. The great leaders whom they followed were builders, and not political incendiaries. Mr. Bryan, like the Governor of Mississippi, disregards the need of good public credit. He proposes to repudiate pub- obligations and violate private contracts, regard- same. less of the effect upon public credit or private pros- | perity. He has usurped a leadership that once was held by Stephen A. Douglas. What a contrast be- tween the two! When Illinois, new and weak, with i nc transportation for her surplus to a distant mar- | ket, feit the pressure of her public debt and pro- posed to repudiate it, and called a convention for that purpose, Douglas, then younger than Bryan is now, came to the support of public credit and public honor. When the repudiation convention met he was ill in Springfield. but from his sickroom sent to the con- vention this resolution: “Resolved, That though Illinois may never be able to pay a dollar of her public debt, <o help her God, she will never repudiate 2 penny of it.” That trumpet call 1o honer and honesty turned the repudiation meeting into a public credit convention. | Douglas was elected to Congress, secured the land | grant for the Illinois Central Railroad, gave the products of the State a market, and Jaid the founda- tion of her greatness. He was a builder. What a fall from Douglas Tiliman ard Dick Croker! | e Since Monterey County Judges have included at- tempts at train-wrecking in the current category of | jokes by releasing two boy wreckers because of their limit in which the commission of a crime is not a | crime. e —————— COMMERCIAL TRAVELERS’ DAY. NE of the notable features which the Repub- lican National Committee has arranged for | elers’ day” and making plans -for a2 grand mally | throughout the country in celebration of the occasion. | Commercial travejers constitute one of the most in- fluential elements éi American life. No other class { of workers come in contact day after day with so | many business men in such widely separated localities. ! Each commercial traveler has an extensive range of | territory to cover, and in the aggregate they sweep | the whole Union. Their acquaintances include the | entire mass of those who carry on our manufacturing | and mercantile activity. Going everywhere and talk- | ing business continually in cifies, towns, villages, and | even in the country stores by the cross roads, the | commercial traveler is always in close touch with the | trade of the people. He knows Better than any one else when times are prosperous for all and when they | are bad. Consequently the vote of the commercial .| travelers as a body is always of great significance. The Bryanites have repeatedly declared that in this cam- | paign the commercial men are with them, and now | the Republican rally on Saturday night is to demon- strate to the country the falseness and futility of that | boast. ! It goes without saying the suggestion of “Commer- cial Travelers’ day” has met with a ready response. Many of the largest organizations in the country | have expressed their cordial co-operation with it, and | no pains will be spared to make the day memorabl= in the campaign. Speaking of the plans for the day, H. C. Payne, vice chairman of the Republican Na- tional Committee, is reported to have said: “Never in the history of the Republican party has the Na- | tional Committee expended such efforts to reach the | commercial travelers’ vote as in this campaign. He | added: “While we may not have as many voters to convert as in previous years, there has been an im- mense amount of work done, and the results show ‘beyond any doubt that the commercial travelers who The mass-meetings to be held during the day and evening in the largér cities of the Union will be a money and expanding business. It is fitting that these final rallies should be especially marked by commer- cial travelers, for the title given to four years ago, “the advance agent of prosperity,” is one borrowed from their own profession. No class people’ have profited more by the return of business ~ His political philos- | ! cess and health as an outrage on humanity. His plat- | for | to Altgeld, Bryan, Jim Sovereign, ! ender youth, gpen switches appear to be popular. | | The complaisant Judges ought to establish an age| the closing days of the ¢ampaign is that of | | fxing Saturday, November 3, as “Commercial Trav- | ‘| ening around us there will be a strong impetus , activity than the tireless travelers who in all. parts 6 the country have been working in full vigor to profit 11:, it. The grand rallied of Saturday night will there- fore be marked by a degree of enthusiasm unusual in leven the most hotly contested campaigns. The com- | mercial travelers on that day years more of good business, and all the millions of voters who have shared in the prosperity of the past | will join with them in the shouting. ‘ Paul Kruger has decided to become an agitator and | tell the nations the wrongs of the Transvaal. The i old man might do well in his declining days to learn | | the eloguence of silence. He has some reason to ask that its mantle cover him. | CALCULATING THE VOTE. L AST week The Czll presented a careful estimate of the probable vote of the various States in the coming election. That estimate, based upon | reports obtained by The Call and the New York Her- 2ld from expert students of politics in all parts of the country, was undoubtedly the most reliable that had | been made up to that time. The course of the cam- | paign since the reports were obtained Ras not ma- terially changed the sitvation, but none the less it will | be interésting to direct attention to estimates re- cently given out from the New York headquarters of ezch of the two parties. A 5 The following table shows the States claimed by | the leaders of each party: | ' CLAIMED BY REPUBLICANS. California Maine .. 3| wBannventatlc Maryland . S8{Washington .

The managers of each party claim to have conceded to the opposition every State considered at 21l doubtful. Thus the Republi- can estimates allow Bryan 163, but the claim is at the same time made that the Republicans are more likely to carry; Idaho, Montana, Kentucky and Nebraska, with their total of twenty-seven votes, than are the Democrats. The doubtful States likely to go for Bryan are conceded to be Colorado, Nevada and Missouri, with a total of twenty-four votes. On the other hand, the Demccrats claim that some of the doubtful States they have “conceded” to McKinley ! are likely to go for Bryan. | These estimates from political headquarters are not | <o reliable as those obtained by the canvass of The | Cali and the Herald, but they are quite as interesting ] !in their way, showing, as they do, the comparative | rethods of the managers of the two parties in dealing | with/the public. The Republican estimate is essen- tially a fair one. Hardly any intelligent Democrat can doubt that it has been honestly made up. It may be affected by party enthusiasm and bias, but it is unquestionably a serious effort to forecast the vote. { The Democratic table, on the contrary, is a clear case of bluffing. The chances of Bryan to carry Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin and New York are so slight that even Democrats themselves will hardly be able to read the claim made by their National Committee without smiling. | | Dawsonites are displaying that pride which comes before a fall. It is said that one may now safely wear | 2 white shirt in the northern mining town, but the { veracious correspondents are silent as to how one is i to get the price. PR T T AMENDMENT NO. 4. { HEN the voter on election day looks down the list of constitutional amendments printed upon the official ballot he will find one marked thus: : Amendment No. 4. Being Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 14, relating to the exemption from taxation of all bonds issued by the State of California, or by any County, City, City and County, Town, Municipality, Municipal corpora- ! | i s mation and Irrigation Districts) within sald State. The object of the amendment is to exempt from | taxation the bonds described, and the reasons why | the exemption should be made are many. They con- | cern every locality in the State and to a considerable extent every citizen. In the first place it is to be noted that nothing is | | gained to a community by taxing its own bonds. | Every cent of taxation has to be counterbalanced by ' | an increase of interest, or else the bonds will have to be sold at a discount. The lender expects to receive | a certain interest for his money, and if the loan is to ! be taxed he demands interest enough to make up for | the tax. All California communities will be able to | borrow money more cheaply for improvements if ths | present tax be repealed. | In the second place the tax causes a loss to the State, owing to the fact that if the bonds be sold to | persons living outside the State California Assessors | and Tax Collectors cangot reach them. Thus an out- side holder of such bouds does not have to pay the | tax, while the local holder does. There is thus an | advantage on the part of the outsider. That advan- | tage is such as to lead to the sale of a very large pro- portion of such bonds to non-residents. The conse- | quence is that when interest is due it is paid out of | the State instead of within the State. There is thus | a heavy drain of money from California that is se- | verely felt in the channels of trade. ‘We have then these three benefits to gain from the proposed exemption—first, we will be able to borrow money for public improvements more cheaply; sec- ond, we will be able to use such bonds at home for the investment of savings, and, third, we will retain in the State the money that is now sent away in the payment of interest to outside holders. These gains 'illhrdlybeofistginmyny.lm,in&eh’hu, the amdunt of tax received from the bonds is slight; and, in the second it is more than counterbal- anced by the i rate of interest which the tax- With this period of prosperity which is now bright- { i | toward all forms of public improvements.

ABSING through the constellation of Perseus there is a small orb about twenty miles in diameter which im at present' the most observed object in the, universe; every sizable telescope is on its track and over thirty leading observatories have undertaken to co-operate in a systematic watch of its movements and aspects. Around the globe, from nerth to south, giant cameras, adroit heliometers and delicate photometers are In use from dusk to day- break as the unconscious wanderer approaches earthward. Though named Eros, its shafts are not those of love, but of knowledge, for it may disclose a long- locked secret before the dawn of the twentieth century. An accurate estimate of the distance of the sun has never been obtained as yet. ‘Notwithstanding the great improvement In astronomical instruments and the list of eminent names connected with efforts to obtain the solar parallax, the prob- lem is of such difficulty that the present estimate of the sun's distance, namely, 92,897,000 miles, may be several hundreds of thousands in error. This uncertainty is all the more tantalizing as the relative distances of the earth and planets from the central orb are known with remarkable accuracy. It is curious and interesting that the opening ¢ay of the present century is the date of the first discovery of an asteroid, and that this important solar computa- tion shouid be facilitated by one of these minor planets at its close. Ceres, the first found, was greeted with enthysiasm, as its existence was the realization of a theory held by Kepler and other astronomers that the seeming void of 200,000,000 of miles between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter was not altogeth- er a planetary waste. However, the century advanced and these small bodies were found to number hundreds in t waned, and it was even suggested by leading astronomers that they be permitted to wander around unwatched and un- known. Fortunately this course was not adopted, and on the 13th of August, 188, when Witt, an observer of Berlin, discovered number 433, since christened Eros, its orbit round the sun was carefully computed, as usual. With deep interest it was learned that its elliptical path was not conflned to the supposed asteroid reaim, but at one point came within 15000000 of miles of the earth’s path. When both bodies are near these adjacent points at the same time the asteroid is by far the nearest of the heavenly bodies, excepting the moon. This juxtaposition, however, is infrequent. In €43 days Eros completes a revolution, being 165,000,000 miles from the sun at aphelion and only 10500000 at perihelion. These points having a nearly opposite direction from the similar points in the orbit of Mars, Eros curves far within it in a portion of its path and beyond it In the remaining portion, as shown in the ac- companying diagram. Accordingly it varies in apparent size from about seventh to thirteenth stellar magnitude. Glimmering in full luster in January, 1884, it re- mained unnoticed or unknown, while the earth passed closely by between it and the sun. The coming opposition in the beginning of November occurs long before this perihelion point is reached, but as Eros continues to curve sunward until Febru- ary it approaches within 31,000,000 miles of cur planet toward the end of December next, and though this is more than double its distance at a favorable opposition no better opportunity will occur for such measurements for at least twenty-five years. In these observations the absence of a visible disk and of an atmosphere are almost as important as decrease of distance, and far better results are hoped for than have been obtained from the parallax of Mars or Venus. If two astronomers 4000 miles apart measure at the same moment of time the distance of this tiny orb from an adjacent star and there is a difference of half a minute ef an arc In the positions obtained, that small space will be the angular value of 4000 miles as seen from Eros. Having thus a base line of the tri- angle formed, the relative length of the side can be found by a trigonometrical computation. According to Kepler's third law, if one planetary distance i= found all the &i- mensions of the solar system can be then computed in miles instead of in mers relative lengths. As the process of calculating the parallax of Eros includes many complexities, it may be months before final resuits are fully obtained, but it is probable that the end of the century will be fitly celebrated by the news of suc- cess in this important scientific work.
