BECOMING DEsrERATE.

Having discovered that the election cannot
be carried by pretending that Buckley is not
boss the Examiner comes out in open sup
port of the boss. In lis issue for Thursday
that journal says: For four years the
Board OF Supervisors has been in Demo-
cratic hands. In that time the city has been
honestly and economically governed. The
pledges made by the party and the candi-
dates have been kept and the city has got
its money S worth on what has been paid
out" 1t is no longer matter of Importance
whether Pond owes his nomination to Buck
ley or not. Buckley's administration of
affairs is pronounced good. If he has gov
erned San Francisco well, Why not let him
run the State government? Where is the
harm in the action of Pond in accepting a
nomination at Buekley's hands? For some
weeks the Democrats tried to keep Buckley
in the background. 1t was represented that
he had no Influence in the State Convention
and not much in the municipal convention.
But the incredulity with which these state
ments have been received has apparently
convinced Buckley's assistants that it is
better to come cut and declare that there is
no fault to be found with Buckley's city
government. Probably in a day or two the
assertion will be made that the late Legis-
lature was honest and economical.

SELLING HIS INFLUENCE.

A good idea of the methods of Boss Buck
ley may be gained from a perusal Of an
article on another page Of to-day's CALL in
which Boss Buckley is shown to have re-
ceiyed money on the representation that he
could influence decision of the Supreme
Court of this State. 1t was the case of Bon
net against the city. Buckley is shown to
have received information of the decision IN
advance of its publication, and in advance
of 30 met, in whose favor the decision was
rendered. Before Bonnet knew that the de-
cision had been rendered an interview was
arranged between Bonnet and Buckley, in
which, according to Bonnet's testimony,
Buckley assured him that he buckley
could get judgment for or against him Bon
nett in the case. Buckley admits receiv-
ing $500 for some service in the case, and
also that he performed no service. he ap-
pears 10 have made Bonnet believe that he
could control decisions of the Supreme
Court, and Bonnet had faith in his repre-
sensations to the amount of $500 Opinions
in the case when Buckley was summoned
before the Supreme Court on charge Of con-
tempt were written by Justice Ross and
Justice McKinstry. Both held that Buck
ley should be adjudged guilty OF contempt,
but the culprit escaped by kind of to Z
vote. In view of the opinion which Justice
Mckinstry filed at the time it is not surpris-
ing that the ex-Justice should decline to
serve as Buckley School Director.

ARE WE SLAVES ?

Ratveen our courts, which have ap-
peared to be sapping the laws which it was
believed would protect San Francisco to
some extent against the plunderers, it Will
be readily perceived that with the Legisla-
ture in the hands of Buckley and his man
Pond there will not be much chance for San
Francisco to escape from the clutches OF the
ring which now hold us in their grasp.
The courts, as we have suggested, have
been gradually undermining our laws untl
we have not much protection left against
their inroads. 1t will be readily realized
that with both Legislature aud our courts
under the influence of Buckley there Will
not be much chance for the people. 10
convince voters that THE CALL does not
exaggerate the dangers of the situation we
have only to direct attention to the NAL
administration of our criminal as well as
civil laws. 1t seems plain proposition
that we can scarcely punish the grossest
eriminality in this city, unless it be OF the
yagabond class which has neither money
nor Influence Criminals who have money
or are connected with those persons who
make nominations are scarcely ever
troubled. Even men who attempt free
discussion of the rights of the community
Oh the eve of an important election may be
rotten-egged, but what of it? a conven-
ton of the people may assemble, but men
are ASA ulted, as they were two years ago,
by rowdies, but what comes of it? If
crime be committed which should be ener-
getically prosecuted the chances are IN
favor of nothing of importance being done
unless the parties who have been wrenged
will turn out their money to do that which
public officers ought to do. 1t should, per-
haps, be expected that Difference will be
paid TO men who make nominations. Ii 1t
be understood that no man can obtain
nomination for an Office. be it Mayor, Super
visor Sheriff, Governor or Judge, unless he
has the approval OF Buckley, what can be
expected except that these different in
dividuals when elected will treat Buckley
and his assistants with great consideration?
1t seems to THE CALL that the inhabitants
of San Francisco have reached point III
their history very much as indicated above.

PRONOUNCED A FORGERY.

After a careful examination. with the
aid of expert testimony, the Chairman Of
the Republican State Committee has pro-
uounced the letter submitted by the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee as the orig
inal OF the so-ealled "Old Pard" letter a
forgery. This Judgment was arrived at
wi ;lout consultation with Colonel Mark
ham, who is in the extreme southern part
of the State. The stumbling and hesitating
WY in which the letter was presented was
IN itself evidence that the men in possession
OF it had no confidence in its authenticity.
They had the letter in their keeping when
Colonel Markham was in the city and did
uot submit it for his inspection. They kept
The letter under lock and key until five days
before the election, when they knew Colonel
Markham would be fulfilling engagements
IN distant part of the State. The Demo-
cratic committee has made a show Of will
iHgness to submit the letter to certain Re-
publicans whom it named, bqt it managed TO
keep the document from all Republican
eye, until there remained but five days in
which to ascertain the real facts of the case.
1t IS safe to conclude that if there had been
no Mercy letter there would have been no
sold Pard' letter. The brilliant success
from Democratic point of view which at
tended the injection of the Morey forgery
iEto the Presidential campaign OF 1880
doubtless suggested the Injection of the
old Pard" forgery into the State campaign
OF 1899. The so-calied ''Old Pard" letter
now passes out of consideration. 1t was the
offspring OF diSreputabe pareb tsge. The
treatment it has received at the hands of its
sponsors suggested its fraudulent char
acter. Genuine documents do not need to
be nursed into life and vigor in this way.
No such paper. if there was onfdence in
lis authenticity, would be held under lock
and Key until the very eve of the election.
The fraud will help Markham in all parts
Of the State. The people viii condemn
tactics of this elusive description. We do
not believe that one Democratic voter in ten
wants to succeed by such methods as their
leaders have resorted to. When the day Of
election cones the voters will decide that
they have had enough of BuckleyiSm.

THE VIAL CUES rIoN.

Our citizens should bear i'll mind that now
is the time TO crush out Buck leyism in San
Francisco. Two yrarS ago The CALI.
warned voters that affsirs were fast drifting
in direction which, if not stopped, would
place the Fire DEPARTMENT and Police De-
parlment in the hands OF Buckley and his
henchmen. TIE CALL further stated that
the Assessors Office, the Clerks Office, the
Sheriff S Office, and. in. fact, nearly every
office in San Francisco of importance, were
being filed with deputies of the choosing
OF this man Buckley, and that soon the
public would not be able TO obtain even a
jury in which it was not possible to place
some eorruptible members if the people did
not rise in their might and put down the
abomnation. The situation here is now
precisely what THE CALL predicted, and al
though it seems as bad as it can be. unless
voters rise 10 their might and shake off Buck
ley's rule we shall be even worse than we
are at present vii. our citizens tolerate
the crowd which is now plundering the city
is question which must be settled at the
coming election.

Serious Fright to Four Young ornithol-

Serious Fright to Four Young Ornithol-
Officer Mcguire was yesterday sent ont in
answer to summons from the sexton of the
Trinity NJ. Z. Church on Broadway, who
desired the arrest of four boys whom he
had found on the roof Of the church building.
They had procured a ladder and with it
mounted to the roof, and, according to the
sections story, were carrying on a genuine
circus when he discovered them, and by re-
moving the ladder cut off their only avenue
of escape.
The officer went with him and found the
four lads, who were between the ages OF 10
and IA years, considerably excited and some
what frightened, but quite ready to explain
their presence and object In thus sealing, as
it were, the walls OF Zion. 1t seems that
they belonged TO class at school which is
studying natural history, and at present are
deep in the mysteries of owls. Believing
that small family of owls had their home
in the church steeple, the boys procured per-
mission from the pastor to make search,
and, if possible, secure the birds for class
examination. The sexton was not in it,
however. and when he discovered the young
ornithOlogists. as he supposed trespassing.
he quite naturally took steps to capture
them. Their explanation was, however,
satisfactory, and they were allowed tn depart
in peace.-Los Angeles Tribune. Oct 2Sth.

THE ALLxANDEK HOSPITAL.

Another step was taken on Tuesday in
the esiabl >hment of the series of charities
for which San Francisco is to be indebted
to the Croker family. The first sod was
turned for the erection of the Maternity
HoS, ital. at the corner of California and
Maple streets, TO which Mrs. Alexander of
New York, the only daughter of the late
Charles Croker, las gwen her name, and
which she proposes to found and endOw at
her own expense. This was one Of the be-
neyOlent institutions which the late Mrs.
Croker had planned, and which she would
have carried out had she lived. Happily for
the city. her daughter regards her purpose
as a binding injunction. and proposes to
comply with it in every particular.
The main object of the hospital will be to
provide refuge for women in their hour of
trial, where they viii find medical attend
anee and nursing superior to what they
would probably get at home. 1t will be
conducted in these respects On the plan of
the Maternity Hospitals of New York and
Philadelphia, which have done so much
good in saving life and guarding against ac-

uration by Mr. Charles F. Croker was de-

consequently be more efficient than beuevo-
lent institutions whose scope is universal.
The ancient hospital was home for all ills
to which man is heir. and no special atten-
ton was devoted TO any one particular all
ment. a man with broken leg, woman
with fever and a child with ricketts, were
treated by the same man who was prescrib-
ing for cataract. We have learned nova
days that to achieve success it is imperative
to specialize: each class of diseases must be
treated separately. and by physicians who
have made their cure special study. From
obvious reasons, obstetrical cases ought to
be Isolated, aud the range of complications
which they may involve is so wide that to
master them all is task enough for any prac-
titioner.
The Alexander Maternity Hospital, how
ever, is Intended for that class of women
who cannot afford to secure the highest skill
in their physician, and tile most expensive
nurses. There are hundreds of such in this
city; and the narrowness Of their means
costs every year the lives of useful women.
The new institution will supply want
which has been deplored by physicians.
When it is supplied San Francisco will have
another reason for realizing that Mrs. Alex
ander. in becoming a New Yorker, has not
forgotten that she is native daughter of the

WHAT WILL COME?

For several years the anaconda which has
involved San Francisco in its coils ap-
peared satisfied with ordinary plumber and
with what it could do in the way of in
luencing courts and juries, both grand and
petty, but two years ago it took the Legis-
lature in hand, and thus extracted in
single session some $3,000.000 in the way Of
extra plumber. The inhabitants of the towns
in the interior of the State did not appear to
care very much if San Francisco was plum
dered, for they said as long as we voted the
Buckley crowd into Office we did not deserve
anything better than we were getting.
Now the San Francisco gang has gone to
work with the State at large, what will
these interior voters say? VIII they turn
to and assist the Buckley ticket with the
man Pond at its head, who has gone hand
in hand with Buckley in his maladminis-
tration of the city government? This is
what San Francisco will learn at the election
on Tuesday next. From what has taken
place under the administration of existing
courts, it has been seen that tEeir decisions
were gradually sweeping away the rights OF
the people. We thought San Francisco had
a charter which gave San Francisco some
protection against plunderers, but have we
not learned that the decisions of the courts
were gradually sweeping it away? This
was what should have been expected, for
how could judges who depended upon the
Buckley regime for their nomination and
election do otherwise than to try and con-
ciliate their masters?

who obey the Boss bidding would not hesitate
to resort to desperate measures in life and

There can be no more pregnant indication
of defeat than the disposition of party
to abandon the real issue Of the contest. A
party which has no recent record OF its own
to present as a reason why it should be in

showing that the record Of its opponent
should not be allowed to stlnd. But in thi,
campaign the Democrats have wasted their

regard to letter written in pencil, signed
