Greatest Common " ealth In
the Unien.
Inter-ocean. August 10th.
The results of the Grand Army en-.
campment at San FRANCISCO are not to be
measured by the proceedings of the en-.
campment nor by what the papers said
Of the proceedings. The magnificent
hospitality rendered to The Grand Army
del gates; the warm-hearted rece. 'tion
these old soldiers from all the K stern,
Middle, Southern and Western States
met at the hands Of the people Of the
Pacific coast; the royal expenditure
made with lavish hand for the enter.
tainment Of the old soldiers--all these
are sure to bear fruit of substantial
character.
The men who went to San Francisc O
representing the soldier element in the
| several States were, most OF them, men
Of influence, If no. prominence; men
who have seen good deal Of the world
and who know what hospitality and en-
tertainment on the grsni scale means.
They were men who were not to be ex-
cited to enthusiasm by = mere pretense
| or parade Of hospitality, or to be cap
tured by the glitter AID show Of gor-
geous superiiciality. They may have ex-
pected that the Cslfornians set out to
outdo any others who have ever attempt
ed to entertain the Grand Army Of the
Republic, and they have So -pected, too,
that these tnterprising and enthus asiic
representatives Of the Pao fic coast com
monwealth meant TO capture them. 1t
is csriain that they surrendered uncon-
ditially.
The pendulum that swung from Port.
land, Name, across the continent to San
Francisco is now on the return swing,
and it is carrying to their homes thous-
ands of observing men who cannot say
too much of San Francisco and Califor-
MIA. These people of San francisco
have taken advantage Of their oppor,u-
nifty to favorably impress class of men
who, when once moved, do great deal
Of talking. As they have been most
favorably impressed, all their talking is
TO the advantage Of San Francisco and
California.
Thie Is only one case In Whlch Caiif0r'
mia has played the part of advocate for
the Pacific coast. Her climate. her pro-
ducts and her pcople are brought before
the country on every possible occasion,
and in . way to present products and
people in the right light. fhe result
will be that, with her climate and her
advantages, California will start on q
line Of development that will probably
surprise both the older and newer States.
She Is ambitious to become the greatest
commonwealth in the United States.
| She ha4 set her stakes along backing
| that means y more brilliant future than
has ever been given by any State In the
Union. just now she seems to have
