ORR JUNIoE SENATOR.

Senator HeaTsPs own paper tells how Sen
atCr Hearst contributed to the enactment Of
the Mckinley bill. The sporting Senator
claims in effect that while he had not suffi-
Gent influence TO prevent the bill from be-
coming a law, he had sufficient influence to
cause the adoption Of the provisions in the
bill VIII ich chiefly interest Californians.
Since it was a foregone conclusion that the
bill would pass. the Senator says he went to
work to get all the protection for the products
of Ca lifOrnia that he could. This is a some
what brassy attempt 10 steal Republican
thunder. The Republican majority decided
what provisions should be accepted and what
rejected. The Republicans were not in
fiuenced by the efforts Of Senator to get
protection for the products of his own State,
while voting against clauses in the bill to Sc
cure protection for the products of other
States. Our junior Senator has not eonde-
scended TO inform the public why protection
is good for California and bad for the rest Of
the country. The Democrats occupy pc
culiar position. They claim that the major
ity Of the party is neither entitled to the
credit of beneficial legislation nor responsi-
bic for injurious legislation. For example,
they have asserted that the Republican
minority of the last Legislature was re-
spcnsible for the extravagant appropriations
which increased the tax rate to TOP cents
on the hundred dollars; and now our junior
Senator comes to the front with the asser-
ton that the Democrats directed the legis-
lation Of the last session of Congress. They
evidently do not perceive the impolicy Of
claiming immunity for the work of a Demo
cratic Legislature while asking to be credited
yvith flp work of Rannh1iean COnprasc
The logical conclusion from this position is
that the Democrats would be Republicans
if the Republicans had not got ahead of

NEWSPAPEKS AGAIN.

Our neghbors of the Examiner as the pub
lie must have seen are very friendly toward
THE CALL for the paper often notices us in
a personal way, which is doubtless intended
for cur good. At any rate we have tried to
deal as fairly with the proprietor of the
Examiner IS he has with US. Perhaps we
have not said as much as was good for the
young man, who, it was urged, had been
living in a curious sort of way at Sausalito.
Be this as it may we notice that young
Hearst is net pleased with tie remark which
The CALL made few DAYS since in speak
ing of the plans of the elder Hearst for his
removal to New York, where his personal
actions would be more likely to he lost ight
Of. We are still of the opinion, as then eX-
pressed that il would be better for both
father and son to so to New York, where
there would be large field for enterprise and
where money will cover multitude OF sins.
United States Scholarships, we would also
suggest, are Just as easily secured in New
York by rich men as they are in California.
and we cannot but believe that Tammany
would welcome both father and son with
open arms if they would invest two or three
millions Of dollars in newspaper for the
benefit Of Tammany's rule. Undoubtedly
Senator Hearst knew what he was about
when he said he would have newspaper in
that city, and if he could not purchase one
he would start one.

\ RIIsFIT SPEAKER.

Buckley's ex-candidate for Mayor made
speech at the Democratic ratification meet
ing Thursday night in which he referred to
himself as a misfit speaker. Mr.. McCOppin'S
modeSty has always been in the way Of his
political advancement. but the display of it
has never been more conspicuous than in
the present campaign. He might have been
Buckley's candidate for Mayor, but is not {;
be might have been Buckley's candidate for
Congressman for the Fourth District. but is
not he might have had a voice in shaping
The Buckley platform, but had none. 1t is
impossible to limit the heights of political
preferment to which Mr. McCoppin might
have risen had not his proverbiaI modesty
stood in his way. Mr.. McCoppin was in
one sense misft speaker at the Dem ocratic
ratification Buckley had ruthlessly with
drawn the platform upon which MeCoppin
lad been nominated While McCoppin was
eXpatiating upon the advantages of bonded
debt and high rate of taxation, Buckley
was constructing dollar-limit platform
NcCOppin on a dolar-limit platform would
be clearly a misft. In his speech Mr.. Nc
CCppin referred with some bitterness TO the
iuhuence5 which have kept San Francisco
alone among large American cities free
from debt. So far as The CALL may be
REGARDED as one of these influences we &C
cept the responsibility. The people have
had more than one opportunity to choose
between the MeCoppin policy of mortgaging
the city for tile benefit Of spectators and
THE Calls policy of "pay as you CO."
The three municipal platforms now before
the public testify as to the peoples choice.
No party or detachment of party dared TO
20 before the people without dollar-limit
plank in its platform. Looking over the
platform McCoppin evidently considered
himself a misft. The depressing effect Of
his misfit speech was in measure dissi-
pated by the appearance of charming
young lady who warbled something about
Pond and Victory" apparently in serene
Inconsistencies of the misfit association Of
ideas

CRAzED BY A CHASTITY JOKE.
A Young Man Hanged for Fun by Kansa
White Cans.

White Caps.
An outrageous and almost fatal practical
Joke upon William Sumner, young man,
from Victor, Mitchell County, Kans., has
just been brought to light in Kansas City,
Mo-, whittier the father of the young man
has just brought him to see if he cannot be
cured of the insanity caused by the joke.
After repeatedly written warnings from
anonymous White Caps of his neighbour
hood that young Sumner had better cease
his visits as lover to the home of Miss
Lillian Gregg, he was caught one night re-
Gently by the make-believe white caps, just
after lie had left the home OF his worthy
sweetheart.
The practical jokers, all in white caps,
soon surrounded and took possession of him,
bound and blindfolded him, placed him back
upon his horse, hitched q moose about his
neck, threw the upper end OF the line over
the limb of a tree. ordered the victim to
stand up in his saddle and started his horse
of amid the promiscuous firing Of pistols.
The place selected by the Jokers was deep
cut. and when William stood up his feet
were just on the level with the ground.
TIE rope was so arranged that when the
horse walked from under him he would
swing off to the side of the bank and be
left standing on the ground. All went as
prepared until the young mans feet touched
the ground but instead of his standing on
his feet, his knees bent under him, and he
was almost killed before they could eXtri-
cate him.
As soon as they realized his situation they
placed him on his horse and took him home,
where they left him, and his father found
him little after midnight lying unconscious
upon the ground, with an ugly mark or ring
around his neck. The son could only be
aroused long enough to tell by degrees his
terrible story-for the whole frightful farce
had been made to seem as real to him as if
the White Caps were in earnest-and then
relapsed into an idiocy or insanity from
which he will probably not recover. The
elder Mr. Sumner says lie will leave his son
in the care of the best physicians, and
then return to his home with good de-
tectives and ferret out the perpetrators of
the deed and prosecute them TO the full ex-
tent Of the law.-Philadelphi Record.

SOUTHERN CoNGREssMEN.

The Democrats base their hopes OF con-
trolling the next House on the chances of
eecting Southern Democrats in the places
of Southern Republicans. There are twenty
four Republicans from Southern States in
the present Congress, and the Democrats
think that they can gain twenty or twenty
one of these seats. Such results may posi-
bly, be obtained. The political methods by
which twenty odd Democratic members
from the South were reported as elected will
if applied 10 the districts now represented
by Re publicans insure a nearly solid Demo-
cratic representation from the South. But
it is safe to say that if tie Southern States
return solid Democratic delegation to the
House, ana thereby gain control of that
body, it will be the last House they carry for
years. The inevitable result of solid
South viii be a solid North. The minority
section is certain to be ltser in contest
which arrays section against section.

NO CHINESE EMPLOYED.

The Los Angeles Times prints two afi-
davits from miners who worked in the King
mine at Calico and also in the Orc GTande
while Colonel Markham was Superintendent
in which the statement is made that during
that period no Chinese were employed in
either of those mines. On the other hand,
the Examiner prints letter pUrpOrting to
have been written by Colonel Markham con-
corning the employment of Chinese, which
would indicate that Chinese were employed
under another Superintendent, but the EI-
omiHer cautiously qualities the assertion
that Markham was the writer of the letter
by the words " if the letter be genuine 1t
Is reasonably clear that the Examiner does
not believe the letter to be genuine, but
has printed it as such in the hope that it
might divert few votes from the Republic
can ticket.

" EXHIBIT H."

Exhibit H. is evidently designed TO play
the part in the present campaign that the
Morey letter was designed TO play in 1880.
Exhibit II" purporis TO be true copy of
letter filed in the Les Angeles Superior
Court in the case of Conger ct al VS.. Mark
ham. The Examiner has on successive days
presented what it asserts 10 be fac-simile
of the letter of Markham. But the value of
this fac-simile as evidence is somewhat I'M
paired by the fact that the document on file
is not in Markham's writing, but in the
characterless letters of typewriter. Such
at least is the assertion of parties in posi-
tion to know the truth of the case. People
who watched the course Of the Arnold trial
are prepared for a device of this nature on
the part of the Examiner A journal which
W ould keep even in its employ persons who
have been convicted morally of c0Dspiring
to blaekmail might naturally not hesitate to
make use Of forged documents in political
campaign.

TIN PLATE.

In view of preparations to establish the
tin-rlate Industry in the United States,
Democratic papers would do well to let re-
suits determine the wisdom of the change
in the tariff which puts these enterprises in
motion. There is every prospect that within
five years the United States will manu-
facture all the tin plate there is a demand
for in the country, and at rates lower than
those prevailing when tie Mckinley bill
was passed The history Of steel-rail manu-
features is likely 10 be repeated The free
traders denounced the tariff rates which set
the iron and steel industry in motion in this
country as bitterly as they now denounce
the rates on tin plate. There was some ex-
