It evidence that popular interest is with the Re- cans in the coming cont and that the rank e of the party had sufficient assurance of elect- ing good n to incline them to go to the polls and vote. Had it not been that there were exceptionally strong tickets of delegates nominated in each district it is ‘quite certain the vote would have been much smaller than it was, and the bosses might have won instead of losing. Such being the case it is plain that the work done for the pa by the United Republican League merits more than a passing notice. To that organi- zation is due the fact that the party had in the field | in every district a set of proposed delegates repre- senting no faction, pledged to no set of men, bound to no secret programme and under no obligation other than that of nominating a party ticket that will be worthy of the support of every good citizen. It was the object of the league to rid the party of fac- tions and of boss domination, and its success has been a genuine triumph. Not a single boss ticket was elected. The victory of genuine Republicanism was &verwhelming. Having attained such results from the primaries, the rank and file of the Republican party can now look to the future with an assured hope of success in the elections. The party convention is to be made up of men from whom good mnominations may be safely expected. The prospects are that the ticket will be sufficiently strong to command the support not only of all loyal Republicans but of all indepen- dents as well. Under such circumstances we may count upon having a complete Republican adminis- tration for the ensuing term of city and county of- fices, and the party will have the prestige of in- augurating “the new and better San Francisco,” for which public sentiment is now ripe. Moreover, the success of good men in the Republican camp will have its effect upon the Democratic and the Union Labor conventions, and each will perceive the neces- sity of putting its strongest men to the front. The outlook, then, is promising for a campaign of clean politics. That much is virtually assured by the re- sults of yesterday, and our people have an excellent object lesson to teach them the value of attending 1Hi COLMA SCHEME. ACTS published in The Call of yesterday con- cerning the scheme to incorporate Colma with a territory of about twelve miles square ought to F " be sufficient in themselves to rouse the people of San Mateo and of San Francisco to take active steps | to defeat the project. Even upon the face of it the | scheme is an evil one, for the territory is too sparsely isntled for the inhabitants to form a genuine urban | community, and it is evident that the motive which prompts the promoters of the scheme is something | quite different from that of a desire for the common | good., | The area included in the proposed incorporation ! includes not only many farms, but also the lands of }sev:ral large estates, among | Homestead Association and the Holy Cross, Mount Olivet, Cypress Lawn, the Servian, the Italian and the four Jewish cemeteries—Eternal Home, Hills of Eternity, Home of Peace and Salem Fields. As these cemeteries have become the chief places for the interment of the dead in this city, it will be seen_that | San Francisco has almost as much concern in the | scheme as San Mateo itself, and public sentiment here | has a right to be heard before the San Mateo authori- ties. Under any circumstances there would be good rea- son to oppose such a scheme as this, but there are other and even stronger grounds of objection than those which are patent on the petition itself. It is | well understood by those familiar with the project that it has for its object the establishment in the immediate suburbs of this city of a gambling resort that would be under the control of the gamblers themselves. Thus the scheme is nothing more nor less than a project to authorize a species of blackleg government clothed with authority to levy taxes upon the cemeteries for the purpose of supporting “gambling dens and such other resorts as would nat- | | | urally gather around them. That the proposed incorporation is nothing more | nor less than a gamblers’ scheme appears to be pretty | well understood by those who have given it any { study. That much was made evident by statements | of San Mateo Supervisors in interviews published in | The Call of yesterday. One of them said thaf the | man who is engineering the scheme ‘“has powerful !influences of well-known gamblers, whose names I | will not mention, behind him. * * * They say | they will not accept incorporation unless they can have the cemeteries. 1 am not in favog of turning the revenues from the cemeteries into the hands of ‘Hhe town of Colma. If they want to run their pool- | rooms let them look to them for the means of sup- porting their town government. I do not believe in robbing the places of the dead to pay for the vices | of the living.” Another Supervisor said: pool-sellers were behind porate Colma, but of course I cannot state that I know it positively.” A third said: *“I will not men- tion any names, but I know there are well-known blacklegs and gamblers who are using some of the Colma people for tools to advance their project of incorporation.” In addition to the Supervisors there are others who have in their investigation of the scheme found reason for believing it to be a gamblers’ project. “I have heard that the the movement to incor- Thus the manager of the Cypress Lawn Association | into the Governorship and thence to the Presidency. '® is quoted as saying: “This is an infamous attempt on the part of politicians and gamblers to make the sacred precincts of the dead a nest for vice.” At the present time San Mateo requires the pay- ment of a license of $1 for every interment, and from that license the county derives from the cemeteries a revenue ng from $350 to $400 a month. That would make a nice little income for the schemers to start their town gcvernment with, and would enable {them to run their games without much if any tax vpon themselves. Should the scheme succeed the cemeteries, instead of being quiet, would be in the immediate neighborhond of resorts of the riff-raff of San Francisco, and blacklegs and their kindred toughs would be a menace to every visitor to the graves of the dead. That in itself is enough to con- | demn the scheme, and public sentiment both in this county and in San Mateo looks to the Supervisors to kill it. Another sign of encouragement for the early ac- quisition of the territory necessary for the construc- tion of the Panama canal has appeared on the inter- national political horizon. It consists in renewed activity on the part of the opponents of the canal in Colombia. After all the fuss is over we will be in a | position not to underestimate the value of what we have secured. CHILD LABOR PROBLEMS. | HILE the campaign of education against W the use of child labor in the mills of the Southern States has not had the effect in- tended, it has not becn altogether without good re- sults. The Softhern mill-owners, instead of co- operating with the movement, turned upon their Northern critics with charges that the employment of | children in factories is almost as common in the | North as in the South, and that the critics should re- form their own States before trying to reform those of other people. Such a method of meeting the agitation against ! Southern child labor is not logical, for it is clear that the violation of a child labor law in the North is no reason why the South should have no such law at all. Still, while illogical, the answer has been | in some measure effective. It has caused a number | of earnest reformers to search out the facts, and the | result is that we have now a pretty clear proof that | | the labor laws of several of our largest manufacturing | States are habitually violated, and that the campaign | of education in the interests of the children will have | to be waged as actively in the North as in the South. | In the course of their investigations the advocates 10‘ the children have given a good deal of attention | to the glass bottle factories of New Jersey, Pennsyl- | vania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and as a result have 1discovcred that the employment of children is quite | common in such places. In some instances the sto- | ries are almost sensational. Thus one authority is quoted by the Boston Transcript as saying: “For | vears the rumor refused to die out that certain chari- table institutions of Philadelphia systematically fur- ! nished orphan boys who had reached the twelith birthday to glass works in New Jersey, where the law until this year permitted boys to begin work at that tender age. These orphans were nominally adopted by glassblowers, whose slaves they became. Within a year applications have been made to a philanthro- pist in New Jersey for young lads to be ‘adopted’ by glassblowers, who were required to furnish more boys than they could obtain.” The publication -of such facts has had the effect of making the campaign much more earnest than it ever could have been had it been confined to some- | which is the Abbey | ! thing like a sectional issue, and as a result some good has been done in the South itself. Thus the Geor- 1gia Legislature, while not going so far as to prohibit child labor altogether, has sought to prevent idle parents from living on the labor of the children, and to that end has enacted a statute providing that pa- rents able to work, but who do not work, and who live on the wages of their children, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and liable to a penalty therefor. Whether such a law can be enforced is questionable, but the enactment of it is a sign of an fimproved tone of public sentiment in the South and Igives encouragement to the hope that the whole | miserable practice of working children in factories or }mines will be abolished ere long from every part of the United States. —— | In the recent Wall street failures there is one ele- | ment entirely pleasing to the public. The game seems | to be confined almost exclusively to speculators and | gamblers, with one set fleecing the other and both, | for the time, ceasing to prey on the public. As long éas the operators play with their own money it would | not be considered amiss if more of them were driven | from the pit. T candidate has its amusing features. Judge Parker was for some time in focus, but when | he went South and instead of talking politics deliv- |ered a dry and dusty essay on law he passed from in flront of the lens and ceased to be a possibility. Then " Mr. Cleveland, greatly to the distress of Watterson and Bryan, was brought out. The Brooklyn Eagle | screamed for him. A preacher named Beetle made what he called a comprehensive canvass of - Kansas, | Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, |and announced that it was revealed to him that Cleveland would carry them all. That ended the candidacy of the ex-President. Beetle's iridescent | prophecy made it ridiculous, and no candidacy can | stand that. . Then Senator Gorman was brought out by Texas {and Georgia and stood for a time in the limelight, | closely observed. As it was seen that he did not | shy at a dollar nor chew the tongue of him when lsomcbody shouted “Trusts!” he joined the innumer- | able throng of has-beens and went his" way in the | great company of those who were “also mentioned.” | The party is now searching, not for a dark horse, but for a Mayor. Mayor Harrison was supposed to be | eligible ex-officio until the Democratic Chronicle of | his town nicknamed him “Mushy.” No politician | can survive being called mushy, and Harrison fell | outside the breastworks. Now it is announced with | confidence that if Judge Van Wyck, president of the | Society of Southerners in New York City, can be elected Mayor of Greater New York this year the country will say to him as Nathan said unto David, | for a different reason, Thou art the man. | It is explained that there are in Greater New York | 70,000 Southern voters. They don't fancy using their | balance of power to make Bill Devery Mayor, as a | Tammany candidate, and will prefer Low. But if | Van Wyck run they will make him Mayor and im- | mediately transfer him to the Presidency. It is true {(hat Cleveland was Mayor of Buffalo, but he stepped DARK HORSE OR MAYOR HE hunt of the Democracy for a Presidential ;But the party is now short on Governors in the | Northern States, having only three, in Nevada, Ore- gon and Rhode Island, so the hunt is for a Mayor. | If that fail probably a well qualified constable will be demanded next. 2 | It is an amusing strait for a party that has had in |it in modern times McClellan, Seymour, Sanford E. | Church, Tilden, Pendleton, Thurman, Cleveland, | Carlisle, Bayard and Hendricks. Once it had an em- | barrassment of riches when it proceeded to select a ‘;Presidemial candidate, but now its ideas of the place | have so declined that it is content with an unbroken | Mayor, and even the name of William Randolph | Hearst has been mentioned with favor once or twice—in his own papers.

It would be interesting to | know what the lady would demand if, in her com- | plaint, she would recite that in the silences of the night she had to take her husband’s shoes and stock- ings off. ; ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROOSEVELT. AWYER BREWSTER, Mr. Bryan's manager L in his two campaigns, for Brooklyn and Kings County, New York, was interviewed as to his leader’s speech at Urbana and said: “Mr. Bryan's at- tack yesterday on Mr. Cleveland convinces me that Mr. Bryan's poise and balance are lacking. If I had been a candidate for the Presidency I should con- sider it beneath my dignity to call an ex-President a bunko steerer. That speech of Mr. Bryan is not the only one of his speeches which has my disap- | proval—four or five of his other speeches recently have contained remarks which were distasteful to me. | If the party hopes to win it must get back to the solid Cleveland principles—those of Jefferson.” ‘When asked, “What is your politics at present, Mr. Brewster?” he replied: “I have no party now. I was born a Democrat and want to be one now, if I can. But I cannot indorse the Democratic party in its present shape.” The interviewer then asked him. “Who do you think will be the next President?” and he answered, “Theodore Roosevelt will be elected, easily. All roads lead to Roosevelt. He represents all that the Honor Bright Democracy stood for in 1896 and 1900, and hundreds of thousands of Démocrats of that kind, and also those who, like Mr. Brewster, fol- lowed Bryan in both years, turn to him and will support him. In politics the country is about to enter another Golden Age like that of Monroe's time. The fanatical Doukhobor women who recently gave way to the frenzied pleadings of an agitator and started naked on a pilgrimage, only to be lashed home by their husbands, have at least served to cor- rect a peculiar modern impression. It has been gener- ally supposed that only the ladies within the pale of civilization have been eager to show as much of themselves as cossible i enter a Mayor by making an eligible a candidate | ok | for the San Francisco Democracy to do. Why leave | | this opportunity to inscribe the name of San Fran- | A woman of this city wants a divorce because, she | ANY remarkable men will visit this city during the Grand Army Encampment, but the veteran of veterans hails from ‘Amador County, California. His name is Charles A. Clark, and the term of his ! service began long before many of the | great States of the Union were carved of seventy years ago. The memories of Veteran Clark's first battles carry him back to the days of Indian massacres—not the massacres of what is now the West, but the massacres of the years when Illinois was the land {of the setting sun and when the deso- late region beyond was the American des- ert of the old geographies—the home of | buffaloes and Indians. No other hero among the great throng that will come to San Franeisco can boast that his record under his country’s flag began three score and ten years ago. The illustrious old man of Amador, who will grace the marching columns that pass under the Triumphal Arch, still car- ries his ripe years with the light step of sturdy manhood. Few that see him will realize that he trod the wilds to the mu- | ste of fife and drum at a time so far removed from the present that California | was then the home of happy Mexican va- | queros, and that while he fought Indians | on the plains of Illinois some of the holy padres of the eighteenth century were de- | voutly consecrating their lives to the | work of missions that have since had added to their history the fruitful gen- | erations that now make them sacred heri- | tages of the past. [ Mr. Clark is now 87 years of age. He was borm in Madison City, Ind., and moved to Illinois in 1821. At that time i the country was terrorized by the Black | Hawk Indlans, Soon after the Indian | Creek massacre at a point fifty miles west | of Chicago Clark enlisted at Fort Begss | s a soldier to fight the redskins. 4 | In 1830 a treaty was made with the tribes of Sacs and Foxes by which their lands in Illinois were ceded to the United | States. They were nevertheless unwill- ing to leave their country. Black Hawk, a chief of the Sacs, then about 60 years of age, refused submission, and the next year returned with a small force. He was driven back by the troops at Rock Island, but in March, 1832, he reappeared at the head of about 1000 warriors—Sacs, | Foxes and Winnebagos. E.ther he would | not or he could not restrain his follow- | ers, and the devastation of Indian war- fare soon spread among the frontier set- tlements. The force at Rock Island was | sent out to stay these ravages and Gen- | erals Scott and Atkinson were ordered | from Buftalo with reinforcements. The | Goavernor of Illinois called for volunteers and an effective force of about 2400 was soon marching against the enemy. Black | | Hawk’'s band fled before it. General | Whiteside, who was in command, burned | the prophet’s town on Rock River and :‘pur!ucd the Indians up that stream. The | Indians were overtaken and defeated on ‘Wisconsin River and the survivors still retreating northward were again over- | taken near Bad Ax River on the left | bank of the Mississippl. Many of the { Indlans were shot in the water while try- | Ing to swim the stream, others were killed on a little island where they sought ref- |uge. Only about fifty prisoners were taken, and most of these were squaws | (and children. The dispersion was com- i | PERSONAL MENTION. Judge E. C. Hart of Sacramento is at the Grand. J. W.

It contains a vast amount of informa- tion, not only answering the many ques- tions strangers are wont to ask, but also much that some people long resident here would find it advantageous to know. It is full of suggestions as how to best spend | leisure time. The ground that it covers, the kind and amount of information that it gives, and the well considered, sensible arrangement thereof, with the “Table of Contents” in the front and the alphabetically arranged index in the hack show that the book has been prepared with great care. It is a well bound pocket size volume of 112 pages, thin and of light weight. There are no added leaves for advertisements and the descriptive text is as plain and yet as full and comprehensive as to nec- essary facts as could be desired.
