it in true Shylock fashion, muttering
to herself strangely all the time.
Mrs. Barker saw that she was at the

her. She knew that she would be no
match for the servant i'm a struggle.
Moreover. if she attempted TO make
her escape she felt that the knife
sharpening would come to an end and
the attack would commence. 1t was
at this point that Mrs. Barker dis
played unusual nerve and wit. Act

PROOF OF CIRCULATION.

Some newspapers may claim any circula-
ton which suits their fancy, but they cannot
claim any more advertising than is shown
by their columns. How could any other
city paper claim to be the want medium
when the columns of The CALL so plainly
show its strong lead2 During the past
week THE CALL published 6332 want ads.
nearly 50 per cent more than any other city
paper published. OF this large number
there were 9S4 help wanted advertisements,
nearly three times as many as any other
city paper contained. Every week shows
the same excess. The CALL is so far
ahead of its contemporaries that it is the
only want medium.
A glance at the columns of display adver
tisements will show in what high estima-
ton The CALL is held by merchants who
wish to reach the families. The columns
tell the story better than words.
Unless the results were most satisfactory
to advertisers it would be impossible for
THE CALL to get such a lead. Advertisers
are influenced. by results, not by false cir
culation claims. They know that the re-
suits of an advertisement depend on the
number Of people who read it.
While other papers are making loud boasts
of their circulation. claiming by thousands
and tens of thousands more than they have,
THE CALL points to its growing advertis-
ing columns in contrast to the dwindling
columns of its boastful and much Wanting
contemporaries. This is a more convincing
argument than loud boasts.
Advertisers instinctively seek the level of
highest bona-fide circulation. They usually
find it, for they have the best way of finding
it. The results of their advertisements find
it for them.
They find it in The CALL.

PLAIN WORDS.

The Sacramento Bee addresses the fol-
lowing plain words to the voters Of Sacra-
mento:
The one great object OF the citizens OF Sacra-
mento, irrespective OF party, at the next cleo
ton. should be to see that only such men shall be
sent to represent them in Senate and Assembly
as will pledge themselves not only 10 cast their
own votes for Leland Stanford for United States
Senator. but TO use whatever influence they may
possess in those bodies to the accomplishment OF
his election. The Republican party of the State
OF California demands this.
A party is in bad way when it subor-
dinates itself to any one man. The Bee, 1t
is true, appeals to the voters of Sacramento
irrespective of party, but this is simply an
announcement that Senator Stanford must
be supported on the general ground that he
has been a good friend to that city. The
effect of requiring every Republican caudi-
date for the Legislature to pledge himself
to vote and work for any one candidate
would be to decrease the Republican vote.
There are doubtless Republicans who pre-
fer another candidate. There seems no
good reason why the friends of other can
didates should be required TO give up their
preference in advance OF party caucus.
Mnorities expect to submit to majorities
when the fact of relative strength is Demon
strated. Ii seems to us that better way is
to elect all the Republican legislative can
didates we can and leave the Senatorial
nominations to the decision of majority
of all the members elected. We are aware
that the power to determine who the Sena-
torial candidate shall be may be made bad
use of by the Legislature. but the remedy
for this is to take the election of Senator
from the Legislature. No nomination for
Senator by a convention would be binding
on men who seek seats in the Legislature
for tie opportunities the choice of Sena-
tor afford them. The only effect of such a
pledge as the Bee suggests would be to de-
crease the Republican vote.

sTANLEY's MARRIAGE.

The wedding of which an account will be
found in another column may not figure in
the Court Circular but it Will be topic of

Of these memorable journeys pointed him
out as the fittest man to take charge of the
organization of the new state which the
King of Belgium and others proposed to
found in Central Africa. This arduous
task he discharged with such judgment and
executive ability that he increased the rep
utatIon he had already made, and it was
evident that as soon as he had succeeded in
eXtrcating Emin Pasha from his scrape his
abilities would be again employed in this
large and promising field. No official an
nOuncemcnt of his appointment has been
promulgated, but it is well understood that
the Office Of Govern Or-General of Congo,
with powers practically despOtic to be
welded over territory nearly as large as
civilized Europe and population larger
than that of the United States, awaits his
acceptance.
That he should be unwilling to accept

enough. And in this, as in other matters,

Tenant comes of good old English stock !;
it is said she is lineal descendant of Oliver
Cromwell She is no longer in the fresh
bloom of youth; as it may be inferred from
her having sat as model for a painting
which Millais painted many years ago.
She has been conspicuous as friend Of
popular education and works of public
benevolence. and moves in the best and most
cultured society in Great Britain. Her ac-
quaintance with Stanley has lasted for some
time. 1t may be inferred from the sudden
ness with which the marriage was an
nounced after his return that they were en-
gagged when the explorer left on the Emin
Pasha expedition. From all that can be
learned about her, she appears to be just
the sort Of woman that is fitted to mate
with natural-bon ruler of men, and to
STARE the responsibilities of his station.

OF ONE MIND.

The manufacturers of Great Britain and
the free-tTaders Of the United States are
pretty much Of one mind in respect TO the
American protection system. Both think
that it produces bad results. The English
say it Injuries England and the Ameri-
can free-traders claim that it Injuries the
United States. That the English Govern
ment would abolish the American tariff in
short order if it had the power does not adj
mt CT much question. A Lond on dispatch
says that Howard Vincent has asked
the Government il the fact that a free
market is offered American imports to
Great Britain might not be urged as rea-
son why some kind or degree of CONNER

the duties collected from British goods sold
in the United States had nearly extin-
guished the American national debt, while
the United States had been enriched by

Mr. Vincent that the reasons he advanced

TO have much weight with the American

THE SILVER ELL PASSED.

Next to the passage of the Chinese Tx
clusion Bill by the last Congress the pas
sage of the conference Silver Bill is the
most important measure Congress has com
pleted in some years. The bill has yet to
receive the Presidents signature, but the
Presidents views are well known. While
he was not prepared to sign a free coinage
bill, it has been understood from the first
that he approved of a bill to increase the
use Of silver. The bill was passed in both
Houses by Republican votes. The Demo-
Gratis might have relieved themselves of the
responsibility Of opposing a measure which
many of the best friends of silver prefer TO
free coinage, but they preferred to go be-
fore the country in opposition to the bill.
Free silver coinage Democrats and gold
bugs voted together. The CALL records
the passage of the conference bill with
especial pleasure since it was framed on the
lines we have considered the best for the
whole country. Free silver coinage at once,
with silver at a heavy discount, would have
disturbed existing values, but free coinage
when silver shall have reached equality
with gold will come as easily as the redemp-
lion Of legal tender notes in coin came
after the market value Of legal tender notes
had reached the point at which coin and
notes had become interchangeable.
