Senator Scott has denounced the falseness of the chargg con- cerning him, and Mr. McLachlan has refuted the lies of the dodger. It is not likely that either of these two will be repeated. No Democrat of decency will uphold either of them, and the yellow journals of Bryanism will hardly dare to reiterate them. As a matter of fact the recoil has hurt the Democrats more than the charge has injured Republicans, and we may be sure that all who were concerned in launching the falsehoods will hunt cover until the election is over. Thus far all is well, but the end is not yet. roorbacks are doubtless in preparation and may be sprung upon the people during this last day of the fight in the expectation that truth will not have time to crush the lie before the election takes place. It 1v therefore timely to warn the public against them. That is something that has to be done in every cam- paign, and the warning is needed now as much as ever. Let no man be decéived. The roorback is the { tavorite weapon of desperate demagogues, and the | | Bryanites are desper: UNNEEDED COURTS OF APPEAL, MONG the constitutional amendments sub- mitted to the people in this election is one pro- viding for the creation of three courts of ap- | peal, each to be composed of three Judges. For the | proposed new courts hardly a single reason can be }g:ven. but against them there are a hundred. The | objections to the scheme are many and serious. The !enahlfihmem of the additional tribunals will disorder | the whole judiciary system, will impose upon the | taxpayers an additional burden of taxation and will |in the first instance place the appointment of nine / / \ i | { | Judges in the hands of the Governor, when the set- ! | | | | tled principle of our politics is that Judges should | be elected by the people. i This amendment is marked on the official ballot: | “Amendment No. 8—Being Senate Constitutional ] Amendment No. 22, relating to the judiciary and establishing courts of appeal.” There is no need for these additional courts. During the whole course of the campaign the advo- cates of the scheme have rarely undertaken to defend it before the people. Now and then a letter would appear on the subject, and such as were sent to The | Call were duly published, but they were few and far between; and in no case did the arguments of the | writers meet the serious objections which the people ! have to the scheme. We have courts enough. ‘There | are already ample opportunities for appeal on every | sort of ground that legal ingenuity can devise. The | burden of taxation is already as Heavy as it should | be. There is in short nothing to justify the creation {‘nl three new courts and the payment of salaries to | nine “apointed” Judges, whose appoinsments have doubtless been already slated by the men who de- | vised the scheme. Vote “NO” on amendment No. 8. e o e e | FOR HONEST PRIMARIES. DEC]SYONS of the Supreme Court have made it clear that we cannot have in this State a valid primary election law without so amend- an the constitution as to authorize such a law. An amendment for that purpose is submitted in this elec- . tion. Upon the official ballot it is marked: “Amendment No. 5—-Being Senate Constitutional | Amendment No. 4, concerning primary elections to the elections of delegates to conventions of politi- cal parties at elections known and designated as primary elections).” | honest politics should vote.

The amendment submitted | to that effect should. therefore receive the support of | every fair minded, honest man. Vote ‘“yes” for ‘ amendment No. 5. TAXATION OF PUBLIC BONDS. LL experience shows that when a people under- take to” tax their own bonds they work an injury to themselves. In no land has the les- son of that experience been more fully taught than in California. We have imposed taxes on public bonds for many years, and as a consequence the greater portion of such bonds have been sold to non- | residents and held abroad where they could not be taxed. Thus the people have lost the income they sought to gain by the taxation, and have been forced to send out of the State the interest due upon the bonds. Furthermore the taxation has had the effect 1 of discounting the bonds in the market, and the people have obtaihed less money for them than would have been obtained otherwise. To remedy the evils résulting from that unwise system of taxation there has been submitted to the | people a constitutional amendment exempting from | taxation “all bonds issued by the State of California, or by any county, city, city and county, municipality, | municipal corporation of any sort, or district (in- cluding schopl, reclamation and irrigation districts) { within the Stite.” cal apathy at this time is almost tantamount to a lack | - On the official ballot .thiu amendment is marked | “Amendment No. 4—Being Senate Constitutional | Amendment No. 14.” Vote “yes” Such a vote will | help to relieve the State and its various communities [ from the il effects of the existing law. The exemp- | tion will enable every community to sell its public | bonds to greater agvantage, to obtain money at less | rates of inter d to keep at home the money now sent abroad for interest payments. Every community in the State and every class of people will benefit by | the exemption. Vote for it.

It is a matter of importance to him, for if he vote | for one too many for any office his entire vote so | far as that office is concerned will be null and void. | The voter will find an easy guide in making up + his ballot in the fact that the Republican, the Demo- cratic and the Social Democratic tickets have each nominated a full set of candidates for each office, and no more. Consequently if he vote for as many for | each office as are to be found in the lists of either of HEN the voter enters the polling booth and opens the official ballot, he will find upon it no | those parties named for that office, he will make no | mistake. Tt may be as well to point out, however, | that each voter is entitled to vote for the followin, | Nine candidates for Presidential and Vice Presi- | dential Electors. | Four Judges of the Superior Court for the full | term. 14 | One Judge of the Superior Court (unexpired | term). * | Five Justices of the Peace. [ [ One Representative in Congress. One State Senator (in districts where Senators are to be elected). One member of the Assembly. The voting spaces on the ballot opposite the con- stitutional amendments are marked “yes”—*“no.” So there need be no mistake there. The one danger is in voting for too many condidates when making up a list from the several tickets. Upon that point the | voter must be careful. B — San Francisco should be worthily represented in | the State Senate; and will be by the election of | Joseph M. Plunkett in the Seventeenth district; R. ; { Welch in the Nineteenth; W. E. White in the Twenty - | first; John G. Tyrrell in the Twenty-third, and John | H. Nelson in the Twenty-fifth. Each of these men ic:m be counted on to stand for honest politics. — ' Under our system of government all interests of propgrty or person are dependent for security upon an honest, independent and learned judiciary. We must have good judges, therefore vote for Coffey, Daingerfield, Lawlor and Sloss for full terms on the Superior bench, and for Kerrigan for the unexpired term. If the people in this election kick the tools of the Southern Pacific out of politics, it is probable the new managers of the road will erase them from its payroll; and we shall then have clean politics and clean railroading to start the new century with. — What McKinley has done for American industry and American labor has evidences on every farm and in every factory, mine, market place and home in the country; but what has Bryan ever done for the workingman? —_— For the welfare and the good repute of the State let us have an honest Legislature. No “crooked politician” should be elected to either the Senate or the Assembly, no matter upon what ticket nominated. It is safe to say that the adherents of Tammany are not sufficiently anxious to suffer the torments of broken heads as to follow the advice of Richard Croker to use violence at the polls on Tuesday. | LR St The Eastern authoress who has contracted brain fever because of the severity with which her works have been criticized must have cither a guilty con- science or the advice of a shrewd press agent. —_— Recent revelations are reasonably good evidence that every favorable condition is present for the oper- ation of a full-fledged faro game in the office of George W. Root, clerk of the Supreme Court. When William Jennings Bryan sought the cheapest publisher he could find for his books it is reasonable to suppose that he feit that cheap thoughts ought to have cheap clothes. Make up your mind to-day that to-morrow you will voté early and then get out and urge your friends to vote. Take no chances with Bryanism. For the stay at home voter there can be no ex- cuse this year. Now is the time to crush Bryanism and sweep the remains off the earth. : A RS Kill constitutional amendment No. 8, involving mn,_‘,f,bmflmr the scheme to create three courts of appeal.

Florence Breckinridge told the story and she told it in that Lappy way so peculiarly her very own. It happened in the street car and caused the pretty raconteuse the full amount of misery that has been known ko be crowded Into an awful minute. “It was terrible,” said Florence, when | she told It in confidence. “I never was and hope never again to be so embar- rassed. I got into the street car and there was—no, I won't tell her name. Well, she sat opposite me. She bowed to me and oh, my! she had a white chiffon veil on, and—her—lips—were—rouged. She had been fussing with her vell and hoisting it | up, and there, plain as plain could be, | frinted on the filmsy chiffon that half hid her pretty face, were two red cupid bows, one right above the other.” We begged and coaxed, but Florence would not tell. I wonder if it wasn't— no, I don’t believe it ;o falr guessing In this particular case. . . . The first debutante of the season, Miss Marion Eels, has been formally presented. She made her initlal bow at a tea (of course) and was no end admired. Marion is a San Rafael girl and, like all the Marin County girls, Is stunning, fetch- ing and pretty. The Eels have come over from thelr suburban home and taken a place out on Plerce street, where, I am told, there is to be considerable “doing™” this winter. There are to be two debutantes in the Parrott family instead of ome, for when Mr, and Mrs. Louis Parrott present their daughter, Marte. Louise, they will also introduce her sister, Miss Dalsy, to the gay world of socfety. It is an established fact that one debutante makes a home pretty lively, but when it comes to two— Let's all hope to meet at Parrott’s this winter. = & I do not belleve it 1s necessary to pose as a prophet to declare that Genevieve Martin is going to cause a commotion in Manlla. Think of the Filipinos gazing on her gorgeous blonde beauty and think of our army officers and their poor suscepti- ble hearts. It is time for Martin to doft her mourning. For one full year she has clothed her woe in somber black with nary a bit of white or lavender to lighten the emblem of her mourning. When she gets to Manila, though, I understand all will be different. The climate of our new possessions will compel the use of light clothing and long before she returns to us Genevieve will lay aside her widow's weeds. Mrs. Martin has adopted the lat- est colffure, the pompadour saucily tilted over one eye, and she looks smashing In it. I'm truly sorry for the male inhabi- tants of Manfla. . Down at Burlingame they are getting ready for the exciting hunts that are to be resumed upon the return of Peter Mar- tin and Frank Carolan from their Eastern trip. Then there are to be the jolly hunt breakfasts that were such good fun last year and other noveltles that the Bur- lingame contingent look to Carolan and Martin for.

HAMBLETON, a prom!- nent Democrat of Baltimore and a member of the banking firm of Hambleton & Co., of that city, Is strongly opposed to Willlam J. Bryan as a candidate for the Presidency. Mr. Hambleton presents his reasons as follow: Editor San Francisco Call: When the Chicago platform of 1896 was adopted as the creed of the Democratic party I could find nothing In it that appealed to me as a Democrat—its declaration for a dishonest currency, its denunciation of our highest court, its appeals to social- ism and its tendency toward anarchism disgusted me. I believed that the man to whom the Democrats sought to intrust the carrying out of thelr propaganda, surrounded as he was by some of the most viclous political advisers, would not hesitate to go to the full limits of the platform; that ruin would overtake t) fs fair land as the certain result of his ef- forts if elected; and even though his ef- forts might not be successful the appre- hension of what he would endeavor to do would for a long time paralyze our indus- (rfi:.

The largest battleship vyet built for Russia, at the Black Sea, named Kniag Potemking Tavoritchesky, was launched October 9 from the Nicolaleff yards. A crutser of 6250 tons and four torpedo boais are to be started at once at that yard. . e hips of 14,865 tons and 13 k,;';'{-".p'?.:é".’r'. to be lald down in French dock yards nmext year, the vessels to b? completed in 1905 They are to be 439 feet in length, T9.5 feet beam and have an all around water line belt extending elght feet above the water linc. Their comple- ment will be 42 officers and 751 men. S _nine warships were under con- l::l,::?l'u: in Great Britain at the begin- ning of October last. Of this number fif- teen, aggregating 165,840 tons, were build- ing in the dockyards: thirty-eight, of 198,990 tons, were at private yards for the ish navy, and sixteen, of 63,05 tons, z‘:‘t‘om‘n navies, making a total ton- nage of warships of 427,885 . The Russlan programme for naval in- crease during the coming year provides for the expenditure of about $13,000,000, sttibuted in part as follows: Shipbuild- ing, $5,200,000; machinery, $3,870,000; armor, $850,000; guns, etc., $750,000. Thirty-seven new vessels of all classes are included in the lst of new building, of which twenty t o boats are for Port Arthur at a total cost of about $240,000. < S German naval vessels are 20 per cent more costly than ships of similar types built in Great Britain, notwithstanding the fact that wages are much lower in Germany. The chief cause is due to the excessive cost of armor in Germany, the manufacture of which is practlcally a monopoly of Krupp and Dillinger. The Krupps recently admitted to a naval com- mittee that the gross profits on armor advantage, of the only 360 d No- including fifteen days’ board at Hotel ‘vember, a | years for armor alone on the Kaiser's plate was 50 per cent of the price charged to the Government. Other shipbuilding material 18 likewise dearer io the German navy than that of England. As $65,000,000 is to be exgended during the next sixteen navy on the basis of present prices the | Naval Committee Is seriously considering the propriety of breaking the existing monopoly by the encouragement of com- petitors or by establishing Government armor factorfes. | & Four armored cruisers of the [Essex class, building in England, are probably the type which the majority of the Boaru of Construction in Washipgton had in view when it recommended three armored crulsers of 9542 tons trial displacement in | place of three protected crulsers of 8500 | tons, proposed by the Chief Constructor. The Essex class Includes the Bedford, Kent and Monmouth. These cruisers are 9800 tons, 440 feet in length, 66 feet breadth and 24 feet 6 Inches draught. They wiil have engines of 22,000 horsepower, driv- ing the ship at a speed of 23 knots. The armor belt of 4-inch Krupp steel extends for a length amidships of 250 feet, taper- ing to two Inches at the ends. The mala armament consists of fourteen 6-inch quick-firers, of which two are carried in each turret forward and aft, six on the main deck amidships and four on the up- per deck. All the broadside guns are car- ried in 4-Inch casemates, and the turrets and bases are five inches thick. The sec- ondary battery includes ten 12-pounders and three 3-pounders andf there are also two submerged torpedo tubes. There is some talk about changing the main bat- tery and substituting 7%-inch quick-firers for the four 6-inch guns in the turrets. The ships proposed by the Urited States Board of Construction are to be 424 feel in length, 66 feet beam and 24 feed § inches draught. Their main batteries are iden- tical with the British ship, the secondary battery calls for elghteen l4-pounders and twelve 3-pounders; the is to be u knots the protective water line beit r inches. It would appear as if the Board had attempted to a heavier battery than the ship's displacement would permit and the speed of one knqL less t.haul the British type does ltao‘g - ommend itself as an improvement in the adeption -of English armored cruisers for ! our navy.
