now THE CASE STANDS.

The Examiner has printed what purports
70 be fac-simile letter written by Colonel
Markham to one Cougar, who was inter-
ested with MarEham III a mine, In when
Mark ham referred to the employment OF
Chinese. If the fac-simile had l4en printed
by a journal OF fair repute it might have
done some harm, unless Colonel Markham
could prove a negative, which is proverb-
tally hard thing to do. A man may know
he did not write certain letter, but he may
find it difficult TO prove that lie did not.
The public remember in the case of the
Morey letter that it took months of time
and a great deal OF money to show the fact
of forgery. In the present case there are
but two weeks in which to accomplish the
work that in the Morey case required
months. But the public have become so
accustomed to the Examiners sensations
that they pay little attention to this one.
The simple word of Markham outweighs in
this community Il stack OF Examiner affi-
dayits with that of o. II. Cougar thrown in.
According to all appearances the Erdminer
purposely held back its attack upon Mark
ham until within few Gays Of the election,
hoping that its statements would have some
weight with the people. But the people do
not propose to be distracted from the real
iSsu of the campaign by such chatter.
The object of this campaign is to defeat
Buckley's candidate for Governor. to elect
six members to Congress who will vote to
sustain the protective tariff, and to take the
government of San Francisco out of Buck
ley's hands, In three or four days from the
present date the Examiner will, according
to pubic report make an attack upon the
Republican nominee for the Fourth Con-
gressional District. Possibly, however, the
incredulty with which its statements III
regard to Colonel Markham have been re-
eeiyed will deter it from like attack upon
General Cutting

HE FOUND APArHY.

Democratic attorney has returned from
a trip to Los Angeles, and he proceeds TO
inform a Buckley organ that he encountered
General Apathy. Tie evidence of General
Apathy'S presence in Los Angeles is found
in falling of in tie number Of registered
voters. Tie Democratic assumption is that
all who have failed to register are Republi-
cans who do not like Markham. 1t is a lit
tie singular that some indication of Colonel
Markham's unpopularity in the southern
counties did not appear in the canvass for
the nomination. The complaint then was
not that the friends of Markham were apa-
thetc, but on the contrary that they were
too enthusiastic. 1t was this overflow of
enthusiasm, it was said, which nominated
Markham. The southern counties knew
their candidate then as well as they know
him now. 1t may be in order in this place
to remark that the registers in the several
counties contain the names Of voters of
all parties, and cons, quently falling off in
the hole number of names does not indi-
cate that me Iarly has lost more than
another. Los Angeles is not expected to
poll the vote it did in 1883, but as yet there
is no reason to believe that the Republicans
will lose out of proportion to the relative

THE SUPERVISORS.
They Adopt the Point Lobos
Sewer System.

Supervisor Becker presided at the meet
ing of the Board of Supervisors last night.
Present-Bingham, Wright, Boyd, Pescia,
Bush, Ebert. Whela n, Plster Kingwell and
Barry.
The Grand Jury fled communication
with the board protesting against the re-
newal OF the lease of the premises on the
southeast corner of Francisco and Stockton
streets, now occupied by the Old Peoples
House, giving as their reason that the site
might be needed in the near future for
County Jail. The present Jail building, they
think, is untitled for that purpose.
The Board of Health asked. by commune
cation, that the law providing for the flush
ing of sewers be enforced, that the city may
be better protected against infection by
Asiatic cholera.
The Board of Supervisors of San Mateo
County petitioned the board to grant to
j. W. Hartzell and others the franchise for
IA railroad that they have asked for The
railroad proposed is to extend from various
parts of this county to and into many parts
of San Mateo County as far as Colma and to
the cemeteries. The franchise asked for has
been granted in that county.
&aThe communications were referred to the
Street Committee.
The order approving the system of sewer
age for the Point LoboS District as proposed
by City and County Surveyor Smith was
finally passed, but not without considerable
discussion.
Mr.. Smith was called upon to present the
main features of his system, because ali the
members of the board did not understand it.
Mr.. Smith said it had tonly been approved
but adopted by the best sanitary engineer
of the United States, Mr. Herring The
reason why he did not include the south
side in the system was simply because that
territory was too large. Had it been 800
acres smaller he would have included the
whole district in the one system.
When the vote was called Supervisor
Ebert suggested that it be by roll-call. Fol-
lowing was the result:
Ayes-Blngham Wright. Boyd, Pescia, Bush,
Nhtan, Becker, Pilster ana Barry.
Ebert asked to be excused from voting. as
he was not familiar enough with the subject
to vote intelllgeDtly. Kingwell also asked
to be excused Tor the same reason.
George Flatly. who resigned his position
as janitor OF the Justice Courts, was APP

Edward Riley was appointed janitor in Flat

OUR CROPS.

The October report of the Agricultural
Bureau estimates that the fruit crop Of this
year V i'll yield more money to the producer
than any previous crop year. 1t figures the
overland shipments at 10000 carloads,
worth in money $1,000, 000-say oDe-half the
value OF last years wheat crop. This sur
pTisIng result has not been due to an in
creased yield or TO an improvement in the
quality Of our fruit, but altogether to the
failure Of the Eastern fruit crop, which led
to an enlarged demand for our fruit at ad-
yauced prices.
The report figures that the increased
--Tfffeat Weld Of the San Joaquin Valley will
about of set the reduced Wild of tie Sacra-
mento Valley, caused by the excessiYe,rain
of last winter and tie freshets of last
spring, and that the crop will be about Is
per cent of last year. The department fur
tier urges that in view of the increased con-
sumption of wheat throughout the world an
advance in current prices here is almost
certain.
These conclusions are probably correct,
but the department is apparently unaware
that the price of wheat in this market is
largely governed by the current rates of
ocean freights. This time last year wheat
freights were 50 to So shillings. Now ship
pers are bidding ~ shillings, and ship
owners are predicting 10. The difference
comes out of the pocket of the California
wheat-grOwer. Under ordinary circnm-
stances we should have had large fleet
either IN port or under sail for this port to
move our wheat crop. whereas the actual
actual tonnage in port is only about 1900
tons, and the tonnage ahoat for San Fran
cisco is only 249,31 tons This is the fruit
of the coal-miners' strike in Australia,
which put stop 10 shipments Of coal from
Sydney TO this port at latest dates the
strike appeared to be about over, and YES
sells will begin to load up with coal, but it
will be some time before they can relieve the
situation here.
II seems to be pretty well settled that,
adding last years surplus to this years
CROP San Francisco will have not much less
than a million tons of wheat available for
export. At 81 40 this will realize gOodly
sum Of money, not less than last years crop.
II ought te be more, but there was time
last winter when the never-ending snow
storms in the Sierras led many to apprehend
that the profits of the wheat-growers this
year would be very much less indeed.

DISHONESTY IN POLITICS.

Senator Hearst's organ. the Examiner,
says Of a certain politician that Gas soon as
he was brought back into harness to do the
work Of the campaign, and incidentally
take care Of Mr.. Stan:ord's fight Tor the
United States Senate, he had Jake Step
pacher prepare him a political map Of the
State" 7 he object of this, ii appears, was
TO carry certain districts in the Legislature
"by hard work ana thugs for the Repub-
lican party. OF course The CALL does not
vouch for some of the candidates who have
been nominated; but it does not pay the
least attention 10 what the Examiner says,
for it falsiies too often to enlite it to much
consideration. The Examiner, it should be
borne in mind, is essentially Buckley Or
gan, and its object seems TO be TO place as
many Of Buckley's minions in Office again as
possible. If there has been any unfaiTness
i'll nominating some members of the Legs
Iature it shows the greater necessity for
eleclng such a man as Markham for Gov
ernor, instead of Pond, for the latter has
shown altogether too much consideration
for Fu.E lay

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

The Democratic organs are representing
that in this campaign large sums of money
have been raised by tie Republicans to ad
vance the interests Of certain candidates.
When asked to show how and where the
money is being expended they intimate, if
they 90 not ; TT, Il at tie a. ert mnl1yed
puts the money in his PICKET. OF course it
is hard to prove shat he does not. When
Mr.. Buckley was making Mr.. Hearsts fight
for the Senate four years ago, the Senate
rial candidate was reported TO have cues
toned his agent concerning the use he had
made OF the money entrusted to him. Mr..
Buckley, as the story goes, accounted for
one-half the money lie had received, but
was dumb as to what had been done with
he other half. At last the Senatorial aspi-
rant put the question direct: What have
you done with the other haif?.-"Oh." re-
piled the boss, serenely. "lhat is my per-
centagr. You don't suppose that l am in
politics for nv health, do you?"

GOOD hIEN.

The Buckley papers are urging voters to
vote for good men regardless of party Iela-
tons. They claim to have some fair names
on their ticket, and profess to see no reason
why the people should not vote for them.
The reason why none of these fair names
should be voted is that every Democrat
who is elected will be a prop to sustain
Buckley ism. If a Democratic Mayor, Asses
sor, Sheriff or other bead Of department is
elected, lie will have to provide places for
Buckley lambs. If Buckley should succeed
in getting working majority of the Board
Of Supervisors the defeat Of all his other
candidates would not lose his hold on the
city government. Voters who are OPP osed
to Buckleyism should not waste their votes
on Buckley Democratic candidates. Every
one Of them has been nominated with his
aid or with his consent. In his search for
fgureht ads he has taken care that the figure
head should be tractable.

AN OUT AND OUT rREE-TRADER.

David A. Wells has been nominated for
Congress by the Democrats of the Third
Connecticut District. In his letter of ac-
ceptance Mr. Wells says: Laws are en-.
acted for the corrupt and wicked purpose
of enriching few at the expense of the
many" Mr.. Wells makes no cOnceaiment
of his belief that protective tariff is one of
these laws. He will try to convince the
voters of his district that the protective tariff
is robbery. The district which Mr.. Wells
desires to represent is composed largely of
manufacturers and operatives. 1t is a rich
and prosperous district. Outside of large
cities there ale few richer districts in the
United States. Manufacturing has built up
this district. Farming, except in the small
products which find market in the manu-
featuring towns, does not pay. Whether
Mr.. Wells will succeed in convincing the
people that law is robbery which enables
them to make living remains 10 be seen.
