SHOWN BY FIGURES.

A few figures will show, in the best way,
the strength of The CALL as an advertis-
ing medium.
Sundays CALL contained 1912 inches OF
advertisements, an excess of 1S5 inches, or
nearly nine columns, over the Chronicle,
and $50 inches or sixteen columns over the
Examiner There were 11G4 want ads. so
many more than either of the other papers
as to conclusively prove that THE CALL is
the only want Medium. If any further ev
idence OF this fact were required, it is at
hand, for, during the past week, THE CALL
published 67S3 want ads, a daily average
OF 969. This is the high-water mark fer
want ads, being more than THE CALL ever
before published in one week. OF course
no other city paper ever approached this
mark.
This large excess over our contemporaries
is abundant evidence of the advertisers
confidence in THE CALL as the most yalu
able advertising medium. Advertisers look
for results, and their patronage goes to the
paper which brings the best. There is no
argument which can influence advertisers
like results. Newspapers may claim circu-
lation; they may spend their money and
energy in flash schemes. but they can't get
advertising patronage unless advertisers get
satisfactory results. When a newspaper
claims to be the best advertising medium.
it is necessary for advertisers themselves to
substantiate the claim by giving it the most
of their patronage.
They do this for THE CALL

WHAT NATqKKsON SAYS.

Henry Wattersor is known rs a man who
SAYS more foolish thugs in wise way
than any other man of his time. He is an
artist in word painting, and the matter OF
his talk is never so silly that people Will
not read it for the manner of his talking.
In an article to a New York weekly Journal
Mr.. Watterson defines the present rela-
lion Of the two national parties 10 the
country and TO the age. The Republican
party, he says, has outlived itself, and the
Democratic party has outlived its follies.
This is smart, but is it true? 1t is GER
tainly characteristic of Watterson. SIX
years ago this same Watterson was one OF
the most uncOmpromising advocates OF the
use of silver as money in the country. When
Cleveland became President Watterson be-
came discretely silent. His enthusiasm for
silver seemed to have evaporated. Re-
Gently he has declared silver dead issue.
But this party which he also declares dead
revived the dead issue and has already
caused the recovery of more than one-half
Of It's lost value. Men more eminent than
Watterson have declared the silver ques-
ton the most important now before the
country or the world. The party Mr.. Wat
terson declares dead has practically solved
the silver DTOOIeID. + OF some wears d quar-
ter of the voters in certain Congressional
districts have been in the habit Of return
ing Congressman of their own political
faith without regard to the opinion of the
other three-fourths. The Republicans have
devised a law to operate all over the union,
which will secure the humblest voter in the
exercise of the franchise the law has given
him. This is a somewhat vigorous mani
teStation for a dead party. When the
storm Of opposition has subsidized, which
naturally arises from the suppression of
the power to commit outrage, the law Will
be regarded as one of the wisest meas
ures the party has ever devised. Fairly
enforced 1t will place the election of
Congressman in all parts of the union on
plane that makes fraud impossible. Mr..
Watterson says the Republicans have one
law for the South and another for the
North. The Federal election law is for
both North and South. 1t Will apply as
well to Boston as to San Francisco. 1t will
prevent tamperng of returns by which,
in cases of small majOrities results are
changed. On the tariff question Mr.. Wat
terson advocates the policy which the South
declared for in Calhoun's time. He does
not perceive the good work which the d.
versified industries, which are only possible
under protection, have done for the South.
The new census. showing their marvellous
results, may open Watterson's eyes, but it
is more probable that he Will stumble along
in the future as he has in the past.

AMICABLY ARRANGED.

Settlement Between the Seligmans
and the Donahue Road.
J. F. Burgin Jr., President Of the San
Francisco and North Pacific Railroad, &C
companied by c. F. Hanlon, attorney for
the same road. arrived here on last even
ing's overland train, after a months So
iourn in New York City. MIR. Burgn was
seen by CALL reporter upon his arrival at
the Oakland ferry. In regard to his trip he
said:
81 have had a pleasant trip, but l must
say that the best part OF it is in getting
back to this climate. People who find fault
with little fog and talk about the winds
of San Francisco ought to spend the month
of July in New York in order to appreciate
our climate. After an experience of this
kind [ am sure they would agree with me
that for climate there is no place like Cali
fornia.
1--WE have had very little time for pleas
ure during our absence, and did not leave
the city. devoting every hour to the adjust
ment of the difficulty-it it could be called
a dificulty-arising between the Selgmans
and the management of the road. We bave
succeeded in making an amicable arrange
ment. Both parties are satisfied, and we
anticipate no further complications. The
agreement and the causes which led up to it
are substantially as follows:
''To secure a loan for the purpose of max
ing the Cloverdale extension the road was
bonded for S4,000,000, Of which So. 900
was taken by the Selgmans, the sole ne
gotator of these bonds being MIR. Dona-
hue. When he died he left all the stock
unincumbered with the exception of block
of 10000, which was pledged with the
Seligmans for advances. Our object in 60
ing to New York, as is we'll known, was TO
redeem part of this stock. This we have
done, leaving 1900 shares in the hands of
the bankers"
When questioned regarding the time in
which these bonds must be redeemed, Mr..
Burgin said: 1--WE have all the time we
but we anticipate no trouble in raising that
amount at any time. Anyhow, the road is
safe and in no danger of falling into other
hands. Mr.. McGlynn will arrive here in
about two days over the Northern Pacific
road"

speed, comfort ana pleasure the American
route via San Francisco to London is far
superior to the European route via the Red
Sea ana the Suez Canal. The Red Sea and
the canal are the hottest regions on the
globe, and the voyage is terribly monoto-
nous. The voyage from Sydney to San
Francisco is cool and pleasant, and the
transcontinentai journey across this CONT
nent is full of interest. Yet the frequency
of the European service induces travellers
to take those lines, unless they happen to
be leaving just as the American steamer
sails. Each European vessel, we are told,
carries from 800 to 600 passengers. For the
same reason the exchange of goods between
Australia and this country is restricted.
There are not steamers enough ON the berth
TO accommodate large traffic. Australia
wants our canned goods, our fruits, our
flour, our mining machinery and hun
bred other manufactures in which we
excel the world, and We want Australian
coal and tin, and kangaroo leather and
woods. But the exchange cannot assume
large proportions until the Government en-
ables steamers to carry freight and passen-
gers at as low rates as are charged by the
European subsidized lines.
The Australian provinces stand ready to
vote 100000 year in aid of a monthly SER
vice, and more in aid of a fortnightly ser
vice, in case this country will do as much.
With a subsidy of $4,000 year, a fort
nightly service of first-class steamers might
be kept up and the rates of the European
lines might be met, and more than met Ii
they were, the great bulk of the annual for
egn trade of Australia would come to this
country instead Of the paltry S20,000,000 we
now get. This would not only give an i'm
petus to San Francisco, such as 1t has not
had since the last mineral discoveries on
the Comstock, but it would knit our rela-
tons with the coming nation in the South
ern Pacific. Our commercial relations with
Europe cannot well be more extensive than
they are. They have reached their natural
limit. The bulk of the future maritime
trade Of the United States must be on the
Pacific. 1t rests with Congress to say
whether we shall anticipate its future de-
velopment by farsighteG statesmanship,
or whether we shall wait till it comes to US
from the force of circumstances.

MAEKHAM AND MORROW.


The political friends of Congressman
Morrow are surprised at the strength Mark
ham has shown in the central counties
Markham not only takes his own Congress
sional District solid. but comes up to the
central counties and divides the several
counties with their most formidable candi-
date. The causes Of this unexpected
strength of Markham are not hard to find.
They do not in the least reflect upon the
personal popularity of Mr.. Morrow. Both
people and politicians perceive that the Re-
publican candidate for Governor must come
from the south. Circumstances quite as
much as Mr. Stanford's personal wishes
force him to come before the people for re-
nomination. The party cannot set him
aside if it wants to- In other words, not a
sufficiently large proportion Of the party
wants to set him aside to do so. With Mr..
Stanford, the admitted candidate for Sena-
tor, the southern counties having presented
Il fit aspirant had right to the Governor.
There is another point worthy of considera-
ton. The nomination of Markham, with
reasonable consideration to the south
ern counties IN respect TO the nominees
for the Supreme Court, will put an
end to the mischievous agitation for
State division. While The CALL would
give no support to a candidate who favored
such division, we are willing to remove all
causes for agitation. Mr.. Markham has de-
clared that he does not favor division, and
we accept his word in matter that he
cannot possibly be mistaken about. There
is a very general feeling that Mr.. Morrow
should not at present be taken from his post
in Congress. Whether the Republicans or
Democrats control the next House, there is
hard work for the California members to
do. Mr.. Morrow knows exactly what the
State needs and is in better position than
any other man in either party to accomplish
results. 1t is partly in recognition Of this
fact that the Republicans have not sup
ported him for Governor against a fit candi-
date from the SOUTH
