A CONTROVERSY.

A rather heated controversy exists among
our German fellow-citizens on the subject
of the proposed celebration tomorrow of
the unifc3tion of Germany. A society
calling itself the German Independent
Socialists protests against the glorfcation
of victories won by an imperial Govern
ment over nation which is now repub-
licap, and takes the further ground that
commemorations of events in foreign
countries are out Of place in the United
States. A mass-meeting Of Germans held
on Thursday evening shared the views of
the society.
1t is not likely that the protest will pre-
vent the proposed celebration, nor that it
will interfere with its success. 1t is true
that we have nothing TO do in this country
with the controversies OF Europeans; but,
so long as foreign-born residents do not try
to involve US into their home struggles it is
not clear that we ought to object to re-
joicings over memories which are dear to
them. Nobody objects to the English keep
ing the Queens birthday, or the French
making holiday ON the anniversary of the
fall of the Bastile; it would be invidious
to make an exception in the case of the
Germans, though Americans generally do
not admire the Government of Germany,
and do not consider bismarck an ideal
statesman.
Commandments who take the Ameri-
can view OF German despotism can testify
their opinions by abstaining from to-mor.
rows celebration. That they have per-
feet right to do as the Irish have a right to
stay away from banquets where the Queens
health is drunk. They may go further, and
hold pleasant memories of those great and
good men who have tried from time 10 time
to keep alive the spirit of freedom and
manhood in Germany. But if the two
parties-the party which holds that German
unification atones for the suppression Of
free life in Germany, and the one which
believes that nothing can exDiate the crea-
tion Of a military despotism on the ruins
of German liberty-desire TO celebrate they
nave right to do so.
No country in tile world extends more
friendly hand to foreigners than the United
states when they have gone through the
NOT very Impressive formality of naturaliza-
uon, we concede to them all the political
rights which natives enjoy-eyen though
at the time they demonstrate by word and
Gi0u That they are sin foreigners at

WILL GO OVER.

1t looks now as if the Federal Election
Bill would go over to the next session. Fiji
teen Republican Senators are reported as
willing TO adjourn without vote on that
bill. The two Pennsylvania Senators led
the opposition to the consideration of the
measure before adjourning 1t does not fol-
low that they are opposed to the bill. They
may be simply opposed to holding Con-
gress in session long enough TO give the bill
the extended consideration which the pres
ent Senate rules enable the opposition to
enforce. There is an election pending in
Pennsylvania which gives the Senators
from that State considerable uneasiness.
Senator Quay controlled the State Con-
We ntion and nominated a ticket which, if
elected, would be accepted as vindication
of the Senator from certain charges that
have been made against him. Under these
peculiar conditions the Republican horse
in Pennsylvania is going little lame.

STATE CONVENTION.

Within the party there are only words of
praise for the late Republican State Con-
yention. From first to last it performed its
duties with discretion and independence.
If there were members in it with collars
round their neeks neither members nor col
lars-were visible. There were acts both of
commission and omission which showed the
convention to be absolutely free from cor
poration control. There were Offices for
which more than one worthy name was pre-
sented, but the choice does not seem in any
case to have been dictated by other cOnsid-
erations than the good of the party. The
prospect of electing the State ticket is much
improved by the work of the convention. 1t
has converted what may be termed an even
chance into one with the odds in favor of
the Republican party. One result is to re-
store good feeling between the northern
and southern sections of the State. If the
division Of the grand old State of Califor-
MIA has ever been political question it is
so no longer. THE CALL has never regard
ed this question with much apprehension,
but it is well to have it removed.
While the State Convention has done its
work we'll the members in other capacities
have much work yet to do. But two of the
six members of Congress are yet nominated.
The denomination of MI McKenna in
the Third District was so imperatiyely de-
manded by the people, not only of his dis
trict but by the State. that the convention
really had no choice in tile matter. Mr.
Blanchard of the Second District met with
no opposition at his home. circumstance
that speaks well for his future service. The
nomination of Mr.. Morrow for Congress
man-at-large can only be objected to on the
ground that the strongest candidate the
Fourth District could present is thus trans
ferred to the State ticket But whether
elected as Congressman-at-large or as the
representative Of the Fourth District, the
State will have the benefit of his service.
The next work in hand is the nomination of
legislative and municipal tickets. There
are especial reasons why the next Legisla-
ture should be composed of the best men in
thetwo parties. The State must be lifted
out of the rut cut by the last Legislature
1t is burning and unbearable disgrace that
the great State of California should be rep
resented in its principal legislative body by
men whose votes were at the disposal of
the highest bidder. The State has passed
the stage in its moral growth when such
things can be tolerated. The Republicans
should signalize their returns to control by
the nomination of men of such character
and ability as will assure the consideration
of measures on their merits. Let nomina-
lions for that office be such that in future
young men of the highest capacity will con-
slider seats in the Legislature an honorable
openiug TO public life

" Want" Advertisements.

1t is a significant fact, says Printers Ink,
that the newspaper which controls the So
called want" advertisements of city is
invariably profitable property, There is
no feature of the modern newspaper-if the
deaths and marriages are excepted-that
has SO many eager readers as the depart
ment of want" advertisements. Then,
again, the bulk of "want" advertising ex-
erts an indirect influence upon the general
advertising patronage. A healthy showing
of wants " is one of the best arguments
that can be brought to bear upon the gen.
eral advertiser by the publisher. Every
one knows that the man who inserts a four
line want" card has the best of means for
judging the advertising value of given
medium. He, and many others like him,
soon come to recognize which paper Will
bring the best results, and the general adj
vertiser feels that he can safely rely upon
their verdict.
The want" advertisements also bring
direct income, which in many cases
amounts to very considerable sum. 1t is
true that they cause the publisher great
other class of adrertising; but their value
so greatly oyerbalances this that the one
question in most newspaper offices is,
"How can we build up our want patron
age?"
The best answer to this is: Publish good
paper; get the largest circulation. The
largest circulation, generally speaking,
brings the biggest results, and, as already
stated, the want advertiser, above all
others, has the best opportunity of Judging
Of results. No matter how ingenious are
the efforts the publisher Makes if he has
not circulation behind him he cannot hope
to retain regular patronage OF this char

WINDOWS SILVER POLICY.

The methods Secretary Window has
adopted to carry the Silver Act into effect
are open to criticism. He seems inclined to
look to London for the record of ruling
prices instead Of the American market
which now determines what prices shall be.
The United States as steady purchaser OF
large amounts Of silver would naturally
lead the advance, while London would as
naturally keep the rates shade below the
American quotations The Director of the
Mint says he expects to give little more
than London prices, but thinks it better
that the exact rate should not be stated.
He possibly thinks that it is his duty to
protect the Government from combinations
to advance the price of silver. He says,
however, that "the Government will pay
the full market price and will buy
100000 ounces monthly, if it is to be had"
The necessity of the qualifying clause is
not apparent. There is no doubt about
silver being in the market equal to the re-
quirements of the law. 1t is to be had if
the Government pays enough for it, The
limit that may be paid is the price at which
silver is equal to gold in the legal ratio.
The ''if it is to be had" implies purpose
on the part of the Treasury Department to
constitute itself the judge of what the
market price of silver should be. The adj
mitted purpose of the Silver Act is to create
demand for silver and thereby increase
the market price in accord with the law of
demand and supply. The Treasury De-
partment will stop purchase when silver
reaches parity with gold, and until it
reaches that point it is not the depart
ment's business to keep the price down.
So that parity is not reached by a specula-
tive corner which cannot be maintained,
the sooner gold and silver meet on their old
ratio the better for the country. The duty
of the Treasury Department is to buy
4,500, 900 ounces month and let the amount
in the market determine the price, always
providing that the market price does not go
above 81 % an ounce

A POLITICAL TRICK.

For some time past class of politicians
who work for the '1oaves and fishes IN
this city have been active in the manage
ment of outside organizations about election
time. For instance, four years ago men
like our friend Boruck were engaged i'll
setting up what they termed an American
ticket the object of which was, as nearly
every intelligent person knew, to defeat the
Republican party. The result was that
most of the candidates on the Republican
ticket were defeated, but Waterman was
elected acknowledgements, and by the
death of Bartlett became Governor. So our
friend Boruck fell into soft place, from
which he has profited, so the story goes,
largely. We have now a repetition of the
same trick in the nomination of General
Bidweu, MISUNDERSTANDING person.
No one believes that Bidwell can do any
thing more than to induce few Republic
cans to vote for him, and thus defeat the
Republican party. We had one Governor
palmed upon the State who has cost the
people dearly in the way Of increased taxa
ton. Can the tricksters induce any con-
siderable number of persons to vote for
another ticket, lire that which gave us
Waterman and Boruck administration? 1t
is to be hoped that the trick will not sue
eeed n second time.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Congressional contests cost the parties inter-
ested and the nation a good round sum. The
General Deficiency Bill just approved by the
House carries au appropriation of S79 oS0 80 to
pay contestants for seats in the Fiftyfrst Con-
gress for election expenses This is the largest
sum ever awarded for the purpose. the Forty
seventh Congress having appropriated the next
largest sum. S79.111 20. In this present bill
there are The allowances of fcrly-iour contestants
and eonteStees, and out OF that number there are
only seven who swear that their expenses were
less than the $1,000 limit allowed by law. Too
frequently unsuccessful aspirants for seats in
Congress institute contests in order TO obi ain the
$1,000 allowance. The Governments share of
the expense is not all mentioned in the General
De fceney Appropriation Bill. The holder of
certificate elgously draws his salary at The rate
OF $1,000 per annum, and The successful contest
ant secures a similar allowance after gaining
possession Of his seat.
