SAN FRANCISCO T...OCTOBER 18, 1904 | OFFICE. PUBLICATION THE DEMOCRATIC TEXTBOOK. THURSDAY T last the Democratic campaign textbook is out. It will be A remembered that this is the document which Judge Par}(er begged should be expurgated before publication. !\ consists of three hundred and fifty-four pages of text, requiring eight pages | of index, and exhibits the names and addresses of National and State committeemen on four pages more. This book begins with the constitution of the United States set‘ forth in full. This is an exhibit to prove the specifications to be found further on in the speeches of Hitchcock, the Nebraska Popu- iist, and of Livingston of Georgia, Culberson of Texas, John Sharp Williams of Mississippi and Champ Clark of Missouri. They all ac- cuse President Roosevelt of violating the constitution and therefore | of being a perj . a traitor and a crimir This gross and out- | rageous charge runs through the whole book.

He has met socially and officially gentlemen of all parties cverywhere, and their judgment of him is expressed by the speech of fohn Sparks, Democratic Governor of Nevada, introducing the Pres- ident to an audience in Carson City, when he said: “I introduce the President of the United States, a true American and an honest man, whom all the money in the world cannot buy.” That was the senti- ment of a patriot on an occasion when a political opponent could afford to tell the truth. Looking further into this campaign textbook it is seen that the Southern politicians are making the issues that it sets forth. They are alarmed about the constitution. They are calling upon the North | to join them in defending the fundamental law. They are supersen- | sitive lest a line or a letter of that sacred instrument shall fail to be | properly respected. They are the accusers of the President—John Sharp Williams, Champ Clark, Benjamin Tillman and Charles A. Culberson ; Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina and Texas accuse | the President of the United States of being a perjurer, a traitor and | a criminal! { The last article of the copstitution of the United States, as it ap-| pears on page 15 of this textbook, says: “The right of citizens| of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the | United States, or by any State on account of race, color or previous | condition of servitude.” On the same page, section 2 of article X1V of the constitution says: “When the right to vote * * = to any of the male members of such State, being 21 years of age and citizens of the United States, is denied, except for crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the | number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of | m zens 21 vears of age in such State.” The section of the country represented by these accusers of the President violates and defies both of these constitutional pro- Mississippi, Alabama and South Carolina would give their thirty electoral votes to President Roosevelt if the constitution were in force in those States. If it were not violated by continuing to | count the negroes, denied the right to vote on account of race, in ! the basis of representation, the Southern Democracy, instead of 160 votes in the Electoral College for President, would have 100 only. The sole hope of Judge Parker for election lies in the casting of sixty illegal and unconstitutional electoral votes from the South, and in persuading the Northern people that President Roosevelt has vio- | lated the constitution, and therefore they should join the South in defeating him. Let it be remembered that Republicans have no desire to force | ile upon any Southern State. But the spirit of the North rebels when the South denies the franchise to negroes but continues | to count them in the electoral vote, thereby violating' the constitu- | tion in its most important features. Tillman, Bailey, Williams and | Champ Clark are in the North making speeches for Parker. They | are heard patiently and travel without molestation. What would | happen to Dolliver, Fairbanks or Shaw if they should go South and truthfully charge the Southern people with trying to steal the Presi- | dency, by using sixty illegal and unconstitutional electoral votes? Tcarr_\'ing trade is likely to come once more to the front, sus- tained and strengthened by the period of national reflection through which it has passed. The enormous interests involved have | been neither noisy nor clamorous, although it would be safe to say that they have now become the interests of the whole country, which has quietly awakened to the magnitude of the need. | However quickly the question is now faced, there can be no | accusation of hasty legislation nor of immature action. The matter | has been abundantly debated in Congress and the measure favorably | reported for passage upon two occasions. It received the implied | apprq&\;j Pf President McKinley, as well as the support of hundreds | of commetcial bodies, whose position for accurate and responsible judgment is unequaled. The verdict of the business section of the country has been delivered, and it now only remains for the Legis- lature to carry that verdict into effect. In the meantime loss to the country goes on day by day. In 1861 America was the commercial mistress of the sea. That she no longer occupies that position should be an incentive to the only action which can restore her to her proper place. It is a matter, not of party, but of patriotism. The arguments in favor of a ship subsidy measure are so fresh in the public mind that their repetition would be almost super- | erogatory. It is simply a matter of common knowledge that an im- mense quantity of American freight is now being carried in foreign ships, and that a vast sum of money paid for transport goes into ! foreign pockets, and for the support of merchant marines which are | not American and which might conceivably become aggressively and | males 1 In ey visions negro SHIP SUBSIDIES AND NATIONAL NEEDS. HE question of ship subsidies and the protection of our ocean militantly anti-American. That is not a matter which we ought to | view with equanimity, especially since the experiences of the Spanish | war so conclusively demonstrated the extent to which swift mer- chantmen might become an arm of national defense and a means of national preservation. A subsidized merchant service means the establishment of trade routes and a compulsorily regular and rapid service. The quick de- livery of goods lubricates the machinery of commerce to an extent which is not perhaps sufficiently understood, and it would therefore be well for Chambers of Commerce and other bodies of a like na- ture to make themselves audible on a matter which lies so close to the mainspring of business progress. —_— When Stockton has shipped her prize cow to the fair in a parlor car there can be no doubt as to California’s pride in her livestock.

IET CAMPAIGN. . . THE S MART SET - BY SALLY SHARP. — Ding, dong, dell! Rings the wedding bell. Music, flowers, brides—and a few tears of joy tell the tale of yesterday. Grooms? to be sure, there were grooms —three of them. But at nuptials grooms don't count in the ensemble. They shine resplendently in the after- days, but the bridel day is distinetly the bride’s. For has she not a train of fair attendants, even as hath a queen— and behold the groom sliding in with just one attendant to “support” him. 1 have never seen a groom, however, Who really needed to be supported even by * one—men have such a happy faculty of self-reliance under the se- verest of trials. . Love and politics—yes, and art. These | are the absorbing engrossments ot | School Director A. Altmann, erstwhile { art critic and Park Commissioner. The | secret he would hold is out—the secret | of his betrothaleto Miss M. Ruef, sis- | ter of Abraham Ruef, the attorney and | politician. . iie The wedding of Miss Marie Claire Adam and Clarence Enrico Musto took | place last night in the Chureh of the | Sacred Heart, Archbishop Riordan offi- ! ciating. About 700 guests were bidden to the ceremony, an -elabgrate white | and green affair. The altar was | agleam with candles in gold sconces, throwing into rellef masses of beautiful | Bermuda lilies. The bride wore an ex- quisite gown of lace and chiffon, with | tulle veil fastened with orange blos- |soms. Mrs. Joseph Keenan attended as matron of honor, with Miss Stella | Harris as maid of honor. The brides- | maids, in white.net and satin, carrying wreaths of maidenhair fern, formed | a guard of beauty. The chosen: Miss | Gertrude Freese, Miss Maizie Cook, Miss Julia Grass, Miss Genevieve Mc- | Cormack. The groom was attended by I his brother, Guido Musto. Serving as| {ushers were Manrico Musto, Arthur | Meussdorfer, Alfred Musto, Thomas | | Keenan, Ramolo Sbarboro. At the con- | clusion of the sacred rites a reception was held at the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Thomas Morrell Rivers, | on Hayes street. Mr. and Mrs. Musto will go honeymooning in the south. .. & Miss Mabel Donaldson and George Quincy Chase plighted their troth last | night in a fairy bower of blossom. The | ceremony was celebrated quietly at | s CFANCIES OF FAIR FEMININITY — “=¥ the residence of Mr. and Mrs. R.

These are easily and simply made from a remnant of ribbon and are much softer and more durable than the upholstered looking affairs sold in the shops. Three quarters of a yard of ten-inch ribbon, the same amount of goft silk for lining and two yards of narrow ribbon are all the material he- quired. from ribbon having a white background The bag is lined with white louisine silk, gath- ered full and whipped to a stiff bot- tom cut the size of the glasses. It is drawn up with pink ribbons through a casing made an inch and a half from the top of the bag, the ends of the ribbon being tied into a shower little bows and dangles. 1000 Tars Climb Ben Nevis. While the vessels of the Channel squadron were anchored in Lochs Lin- nie' and Leven, says the London Ex- press, a naval invasion of Scotland's | highest mountain was organized. A thousand sailors landed at Fort William, and decided to climb Ben Nevis, the ridges of which soon swarm- ed with bluejackets. Spectators at a distance who saw the blue-covered mountain thought they were witnessing some strange atmos- pherical phenomenon. X mony THE COLONIAL HATS.

L T Captains Drake and Trilley, Comman- der Bull of the Solace and Paymaster Irwin, accompanied by their ladies— and resplendent in the dazzling splendor of naval gold braid—came down yes- terday from Mare Island to attend the wedding of Miss Anne Maxwell Miller, daughter of Admiral and Mrs. Albert Miller, and Paymaster George Brown, that was celebrated in Berkeley. Why talk of reforming naval full- dress? It's almost as formidable as Uncle Sam's guns, but why change? Its very impressiveness serves a pur- pose. N Mrs. L.

When all the bees | had settled in his beard he slowly | arose, walked home, and, with the as- | sistance of others, hived the buzzers. -+ FALL SHOES. The new shoes show great variety. A smart pair of high boots for fall wear had light gray heels to match a pair of light gray stockings. Another pair had light brown heels to match a light brown gown and there are shces with white heels, very smart and trim, but apt to get soiled. The new shoes show a return to the pointed toe. They are wide across the ball of the foot, with a pointed toe and with wide, low vamp. | | | | | i | | CLOAK MATERIALS. Velvet. Covert. Beaver. Corduroy. Broadeloth. Crush velours, Mole skin plush.

A TESTIMONIAL. ; The woman -of the shivery tens # _+§ dency and the well filled purse surely cannot resigt the charms of a morning robe which has come straight from Japan. It is soft and thick and quilted, covered on the outside with black Jap- anese silk and lined throughout with scarlet silk. Down the front of the robe and bordering the pockets are scrawly outline embroideries of chrys- anthemum design done in scarlet. TATTOOING IN GOTHAM. In New York tattooing has become a craze among the wealthy folk and weird devices and emblems are at a high premium. The fashionable tat-: tooer wraps himself up in a certain atmosphere of mystery and as he works out a rare device on the fair arm of some great lady tells how it will bring her some strange and unexpected piece of gocd fortune. Bulgarian embroidery and Russian crossstitch work make. effective trim- mings for children’s school frocks, and are much smarter worked into the material itself than bought in bands by the yard.: A mode that has smocking at the Tattered Ted—How are they biting? it is skeeters | cooked. | spoonfuls of baking powder.

A lady philanthropist crossed the Russian frontier to visit Tolstoy, and, ushered into the presence of the great saint, she uttered the usual conven- tional greetings and explanations, while the sage eyed her abstractedly and silently, “as if,” she said—"as if he were quietly turning back the top of my head and looking at the thoughts inside.” When she ceased speaking he touched her large and ashionable sleeve and said, sweetly, Why do you wrap so much cloth on your arms? If you ripped it off it would make a good frock for a little girl."” The great difficulty, comments on this Harper’'s Weekly, is to draw the line at sufficiency. Man thrown loose on the caprice of nature is not man at his best. Man spending half his waking hours upon the care of his body is-not man at his best. Wher- ever protection and necessary care are converted into luxury and superfluity he is weakened. The time must come when beautiful dressing will be that which is most useful, most appro- priate, most unhampering. THE STAR.

The market gardeners on their way to the Halles one morning recently from Clamart, says the Paris Matin, came upon a strange couple lying asleep on the slope of the fortifications near the Versailles gate. Careless of the pouring rain, the pair were snoring in peace, the man in his Sunday best, resting his head on a bat- tered tall hat, and the damsel beside him dressed in white, with a few stray | sprigs of orange blossom in her hair. They had been married the previous afternoon. After the wedding feast at a restaurant in the center of Paris they started out for home in the Rue Vaugirard rather late. The house was without a concierge, and every lodger had his latch key. At the door the bridegroom found that he had forgotten his key, and no amount of hammering would wake his sleeping fellow lodgers. The bride refused to take a night's lodging at a hotel, so they sat down on the rampart to wait for the day, and there, worn out, had fallen asleep. SCHOOL FOR SLEEP. How to sleep well is, according to an advertisement, to be shortly taught in what, says a Paris special in the Lon- don Telegraph, will surely be a night school. Among the points of the curri- culum will be lectures on how not to snore, and precepts for preventing one’s mouth from remaining wide open dur- ing slumber. How to compose the limbs artistically and restfully before dozing off will be taught. Ladies will, in par- ticular, be instructed as to the best way in which to do the hair before lying down to repose. The idea of the school is to insure that its pupils shall always wake up cheerful, fresh, good- tempered and full of energy in the morning and never get out of bed the Wrong way. - ANSWERS T0 QUERIES, MIRRORS—M.N.B,, Indian Diggings, Cal. A piece of highly polished steel will answer the purpose of a mirror. The following is the manner in which mirrors are made: After the plate of glass is polished on both sides it is laid on a perfectly level table of great strength and solidity, usually of smooth stone, made like a billiard table, with raised edges; a sheet or sheets of tinfoil sufficient to cover the upper surface of the glass are then put on and rubbed down smooth, after which the whole is covered with quicksilver, which immediately forms an amalgam with the tin. The superfluous mercury is then run off and a woolen cloth is spread over the whole surface and square iron weights are applied.
