DAyIr1,s LABOR ORGAN.

Mr. Michael Dayitt proposes to start n
journal in London, called the Labor World,
which is TO be devoted TO the advocacy of the
rights Of labor, juster distribution Of the
products of industry, and healthier coEdi-
tons Of employ ment in factories. 1t is to ex-
press the ideas which the Emperor William
has declared it to be his purpose to study
and propagate, and to work for the organiZa-
ton oil the working class, ana their education
III the problems Of political economy.
Mr.. Dayitt is a man of ability, and his
views on the various labor questions of the
day will command respectful attention
everywhere. The weak spot in the labor
movement thus far has been the accidental
assumption of leadership by some persons
who are not sufficiently Informed, and who
consequently fail in mertorious endeavors
because they urge them indiscreetly, and on
unsound premises. Mr.. Davitt is well fitted
by his education and by the quality of his
mind to lead workiDgmeD in the right direc-
ton, and TO put them ON their guard against
tile guidance of those whose judgment is not
equal TO their zeal.
But his experience in public life has been
large enough 10 apprse him of the difficulty
If the task he has undertaken. Glass news
papers have two functions TO fll-to advise
the members of their own class and keep
them Informed of passing events, and sec
ondly. to bring pressure to bear on the pub
lie at large 10 induce them 10 assent 10 the
reforms which the class demands In this
latter function class newspapers frequently
fail because they too often devote their
energies to irritating instead of trying to
convince their opponents.
To accomplish the reforms which Mr..
Dayitt and his friends have in view, they
must convince That large body OF people
who are not members of labor organizations
that the reforms they seek are wise, fair and
just, and that If they were established they
would enure to the benefit of the whole COM
munity. Ii they neglect this, their labor
will be in vain They will only convince
the people who are convinced already, and
will make no converts among their oppo-
pents. The success OF the Labor World
will depend upon its favorable reception
among those who are Indifferent or hostile

4 NATIVE son FOR MAYOR.

Some months ago THE CALL suggested
the nomination of native son for Gov
e-nor. There are native sons in the State
now who are 40 years old. and quite a num-
Der who have passed 50. The local man
ayers Of our two largest transportation COM
panies are native sons. Another native son
would lie a prominent candidate for Senator
il the election of that high official was left
TO the PEOPLE. The comparative youth
OF the native sons is not, therefore. rea-
son why they should not aspire to high pc
li;ical honors. The two candidates for Coy
ernor have been nominated, and Leither is
a native son. Most Of the boys will vote
either for Colonel Markham or Mayor Pond,
and the next Office in rank in the gift of the
people is that of Mayor Of San Francisco.
Why not nominate a native son for Mayor :?

cANDIDATEs COMPARED.

Tie Alta says that Colonel Markham has
no record as an economist. We do not
know that Colonel Markham has ever held
position which enabled him to make rec
ord as an economist. We do know, however,
that the Republican State platform limits
expenditures to the amount that tax levy
of so cents on each 500 Of valuation will pro-
duce, and we believe that if the Republicans
control the next Legislature this pledge will
be kept. If by any chance the Legislature
should disregard its pledges the pruning
knife in the hands of the Republican stand
ard beareE will, we are confident remind
them that if they have forgotten their
pledges he has not Colonel Markham has
the record of being Il man of his word and
THE CALL supports him in the belief that
he viii keep that record good. But our
Democratic ntighbor answers US that Nil.
Pond has a record as pubic economist.
MI Pond has been the show figure OF the
Democratic party for eight years. When
elected to the Board of Supervisors he was
q reputable citizen, kind OF political TIM
Der in fact of which the Democratic party
was much in need. He has risen with BUCK
ley and there is nothing to show that he and
Buckley are not political chums. He has
continued all these years 10 show up as the
good man of the finn, While Buckley has
willingly incurred the OblOQuy OF being the
wicked partner. If both FARMERS had been
wicked the people would have turned them
out long ago. Buckley meantime has been
the partner who held the reins Of cont oil.
II has always been in Buckley's power TO
dissolve the partnership when Mr.. Pond
should become refractory. Meantime he
has been permitted to make record as a
public economist by writing veto messages
which BuckleY'S confederates oyerruled.

MRS. JORDAN DIES.
Her Dependent Husband Charged
With Murder.

Mrs. Catherine Jordan, wife Of Adolph
Jordan, who cut her wrist in their saloon at
425 Montgomery avenue, early Wednesday
morning at her request. SO that she might die
with her respondent husband, died at 5:25
o'clock yesterday morning, in the Receiving
Hospital.
A charge of murder was entered against
Jordan at the City Prison by Police Captain
Douglass Jordan is still In the Receiving
Hospital very weak and at the point of
death. He is not expected to recover All
day long he cried piteously, refusing to be
comforted by his friends.
''She died this morning." he would say,
land | will be with her tomorrow morning"
And then he would look at his own bandaged
wrists and feel the wound near his heart
where he had driven the blade in his frenzy
for death.
The bartender, Daniel Fish, who was en-
ployed by Jordan, found the following letter
in the saloon yesterday. 1t was written in
German:
SEPTEMBER 10, 1890.
Dear Friends: hope that you VIII forgive
me for the step that am about 10 take. am
fiat broke ard don't know how TO keep myself.

gether. She will not live without me. SO all

man not too hard; farewell.

brother-in-law, named Murphy, who keeps
a blacksmith shop on Stevenson street. yes

THE FOOD SUPPLY.

The returns of the Agricultural Bureau
continue to report bad outlook for cereals
east of tue mountains. The corn crop is de-
cidedly short. and the wheat average is
lower than that Of any year since 1881
There has been an increase Of acreage in
the Northwestern" States, especially in
Dakota, but it seems doubtful whether that
can offset the diminished yield per acre
caused by the droughts. Some of the farms
in Dakota only report yield of five bushels
to the acre, and everywhere the harvest is
late.
The situation promises to secure for our
farmers good prices for their wheat surplus.
Considering the state of our coal marker
there ought to be more tonnage afioat from
Australia than there is. There will be a
good demand fer wheat vessels later III the
season.
With the exception of Russia and the
Danubian countries the wheat crop OF the
world bids fair to be short; but the markets
respond feebly to the news of scanty har-
vests. 1t has been for so many years los
ing business to operate for rise in wheat
that spectators on the bull side have LOST
Their courage,

TO labor agitations, and upon the strength
of It's appeals TO the intelligence of an I'M
partial audience.
1t has appeared to be the first aim Of most
of the labor journals which we have seen in
this country, and of general newspapers
which have sought to curry favor with work
ingmen, to intensity the normal antagonism
between labor and capital. They see the
controversy from the standpoint OF the or
ganization only, and shut their eyes TO the
fact that there are other interests to be con-
sidered, and that if these interests are not
conciliated small practical results will flow
from their labors. Society is made up OF
large variety of interests, no one of which
can impose its will ON the others. Reforms,
however desirable, cannot be accomplished
until majority of these interests combine
to demand them. A party which sets up
newspaper to advocate its particular interest
only, without regard to the interest of other
classes or parties, must waste its time and
vex its soul with disappointment. Its pro-
claimed selfishness rallies all other parties
against it, and it embtters its adversaries,
without adding particle Of strength to its
own side. This is the reason why class
newspapers and essentially party news
papers so rarely succeed.

Accustomed to Drinking Gallon OF
Wine in Day.
Judge Hunt has granted divorce to
James Alderman from Annie Alderman for
habitual incompetence. They were married
in Oakland in July. 1887.
In giving his testimony before commits
sioner, Ackerman stated that his wife
would drink six or eight bottles of beer in a
day, or possibly a pint or quart of whisky
and sometimes a gallon of wine. When toe
full to drink any more she would go to beG
for awhile and then get up to vomit, after
which she was abusive until given more
liquor.
He tried to cure her of the degrading
habit by giving her all she could drink, but
he gave up the idea when she drank a whole
case of porter within week. Then he sup
piled her with biiters, but she drank OF
them so freely that they intoxicated her. A
physician then advised him to put stun in
the liquor that would make her sick.
The prescription was yaluelesS, as it only
caused her to demand more whisky upon
which to straighten mp. lie said also that
she would go to saloons in her nlght-dress
and slippers. aud would also help herself to
any liquor she could find in the rooms in the
house. The AckeImans kept lodging
