TIE APPEAL can not in common fair
ness, advocate the merits of this or that
preacher. Two things are of the first
Importance in order to hope for success.
The first is to make selection of Q
preacher who is possessed of qualities
essential to popularity. Having selected
q candidate the second step is to work
for his success. Let one secure all the
ballots possible and at the same time stir
up interest and activity in others. De-
lay in securing ballots are as dangerous
as delays in other matters. It would
worry one much to learn that his or her
candidate might have been elected by
slight extra effort. A few votes may
be the difference between the winners
and losers. Hence the importance of
early and persistent activity in securing
ballots. The plan ofdetermining who
the most popular minister is, is given in
order that all may thoroughly under.

USQuEs11oNABIY the personal element

UNQUEsuoSABLY the personal element
was strong one in the return of Speake er
Reed by his Maine constituency. But be-
yond that the election testified to a strong
sentiment on the part of the voters of
Maine in support of the position assumed
by Mr.. Reed regarding the majority"
question, which gave rise to his famous
ruling, and that afterwards erystalIized
into "Rule Fifteen of the House. In fact
the people of Maine have reflected the
sentiment of the vast majority of the
people of the United States that Congress-
men chosen, who accept the trust and
qualify, must attend to their duties unless
excused by the House, and when refusing
to vote and expedite public business, that
they shall be counted as of the number re-
quired for the transaction of the business
of the assembly. That question was fairly
and explicitly before the people of Maine,
and they voted with the clear understand
ing that it was party issue, the decision
Of which comes at the last to the ballot
box. The general policy of the Admins
tration also had the Endorsement of the
people of Maine, which, while it is con-
ceded Republican State, nevertheless is
noted for independence of sentiment on all
qSf&tions affecting national policies and
for perfect freedom in expressing itself
upon such matters.

THE San Francisco press never tires, or

THE San Francisco press never tires, or
rather it never puts check upon its re-
porters who visit Sacramento on great oc-
casions when there are large assemblages
of people at the Capital City, in misrepre-
sentation of cur people concerning prices
charged for entertaining strangers. We
are constantly told that extortion is prac-
ticed generally here on such OCCASIONS
though the truth is. that instances of over
charge are far less frequent in this city
than in communities generally where
there assemble large bodies Of people de-
manding accommodations of good order.
On the occasion of the Native Sons cele-
bration in San Francisco this week, our
metropolitan neighbors proved that for the
matter of putting up prices they can give
all other communities lessons. In many
cases the most Indifferent cheap lodgings
were charged up to strangers at the high
est 6rst-class rates, and many a man got
shake down or q lounge for nights rest
only at the risk of bankrupting his pocket.
The Accommodation Committee was ener-
getic, did the best it could, and sent its
guests to the best quarters listed to them,
but in numerous cases Accommodations
were procurable only at an ex-
tortionate rate. Yet it is not probable
that the committees could have done any
better than they did for the accommoda-
tion Of their guests. On the day of the
parade the proprietors of houses along the
line of march put up the prices of sittings
atwindows enormously. The most ordinary
narrow and confined window could not be
hadSfor three hours at less than $40 to ac-
commodate three people, while bow windows
for eight commanded from $40 to $40, and
a single sitting on the fourth floor of
house with bow windows was not any
where less than So so. To rent room
with two windows of the ordinary flat
character, for the three hours of the pa
rade, cost from $40 to $50. Hard board
seats we're 81 in the open air, with no sun
shelter, and chairs in rough lumber stands
rented at 81. In many places along the
line of march, however, the people re-
sisted these outrageous exactions, and pre-
ferred TO stand in the street, whereupon
the seat proprietors came down to 90 cents,
and were glad to secure that price. Many
of the window extortioners failed to get
customers and were to be found begging for
patrons, just before the parade began,
offering their goods at half the price
asked Heretofore. The only purpose we
have in citing these attempts to take ad-
vantage, and which infected even the boot
blacks and barbers who put up prices
quite generally, is to show our San Fran
cisco friends that human nature is pretty
much the same everywhere, and that they
who live in glass houses should not throw
stones. We have been at pains in many
seasons to ascertain the exact truth con-
cerning alleged acts of extortion on the
part of Sacramentans when there is great
demand for accommodation, and have
found such acts to be the exception and
fair prices and broad hospitality the rule.

THE great celebration in San Francisco
on Tuesday was well managed. The orders
for the march were strictly obeyed, and
bore the evidence of good judgment hay
ing been their author. There was prompt
ness in moving the procession, excellence
in the distribution of the more attractive
features of the line, finish in the spectacu-
lar effects, and admirable management of
the marching forces. Good order was
preserved throughout, the committees were
solicitous in their endeavors to accommo-
date, and courteous in their attendance
upon guests. There were few indi
Yidual exceptions where the investment
with brief authority upset the equilibrium
of certain young men and gave them occa-
sion to make themselves ridiculous, but
these very few exceptions only made the
good management the more conspicuous.
The authorities are entitled to especial
credit for their vigilance, forbearance, good
judgment and patience in managing the
immense crowds which thronged the
streets. The city was very handsomely
decorated, and, saving the crowding at the
Pavilion, the assemblies and reunions held
there were pleasing features Of the event.
Business was generally suspended, ani the
people co-operated with the committees of
Pioneers and Native Sons in making the
holiday an historic event of unusual i'm
portance and high character. All in all,
San Francisco has reason to be proud of
the manner in which Admission Day W as
celebrated, and to take honest pride in the
way in which her better citizens did their
duty in the premises While, as is elsewh ere
expressed, there were some manifestations
of human nature that was not creditable,
still the chief city of the coast was upon
its good behavior, and its guests departed
with memories of the celebration worthy
to be cherished, and satisfied with the
manner of their treatment by the organi-
cations that undertook the heavy task of
entertaining seventy thousand guests.
