NEWSPAPERS.

Senator Stewart is quoted as saying:
THE newspapers are the abject creatures
and slaves of the money power which is
exercised through the bankers that control
gold" Apparently it has never occurred
to Mr.. Stewart that there is as much differ
ence between newspapers as there is be-
tween men. There are men who are the
abject creatures and slaves of the money
power and men who are not. There are
newspapers whose opinions are for sale and
newspapers which are not bought. Mr..
Stewart would feel hurt il he should be re-
ferred TO as a thief on the ground that some
other men had been convicted of theft. Mr..
Stewart continues to show how little he
knows about newspapers in these words:
THE merchants Of this country are in the
hands of the banks to a greater or less de-
gree. The merchants support the news
papers with advertising. When the big
bankers yell for gold the little bankers yell
for gold. The word is passed to their Gus
toners, the merchants, to yell for gold, and
they respond. If the newspaper fails to
join in the chorus the merchant shuts OFF his
advertising" One can hardly believe that
Senator of the United States does not
know better than this. The newspapers of
the United States take both sides of the
silver question. Some of the richest and
most widely circulated are on the silver
side. The New England and New York
papers are generally gold papers, but in the
West and South by far the greater number
are for silver. There is no reason to sup
pose that merchants and bankers exercise
any especial influence in determining the
course of the silver papers. TIE Eastern
gold papers either create or reflect public
opinion. They are doubtless influenced
by the interests of the community they rep
resent. Such general reflections upon
newspapers as Mr.. Stewart makes are
misleading. While there are newspaper
proprietors who have no other purpose
than to make money, there are others which
accept from the community in which they
are published nothing but legitimate pat
ronage. Some hard things might be said
about United States Senators if newspapers
were not more considerate than Mr.. Stew
art THE CALL would not say that United
States Senators as a body we're owned by
corporations because some of them are
known to be. There is an old prOverb ad.
yising caution on the part of residents of
glass houses which Senator Stewart might
reflect upon with advantage to himself and
TO the public at large.

DEPEW ABROAD.

Chauncey Depew IS certainly an interest
ing person at the objective end of an inter-
view. He conveys the idea that he says
what lie thinks. He is man of unusual
power of observation and what wisdom he
las stored up is a: the service of the public.
Speaking in London to an English reporter,
Mr.. Depew spoke of the Mckinley tariff as
he would if on the stump in Ohio. He thinks
that the new tariff will do good deal to
carry the election for the Republicans He
assured his English interviewer that the Re-
pubcans would stand by the new tariff Its
beneficial effects were already being felt. n
respect to candidates, Mr.. Depew thinks
that it will be Harrison and Cleveland over
again. He considers Blaine the most pOpu-
lar man in the party. but does not regard
him as probable candidate. Mr.. Depew's
views on silver are interesting since from as
ISOLATION he would naturally be inclined to
the gold side of the controversy. Upon this
issue he considers the r .publicans prac-
tirally unanimous, while the Democrats are
divided. If the Republicans are united it is
upon the present policy of the party. They
are united on the proposition to purchase an
amount equal to the silver product of the
country and ultimately coin the stock pur-
chased. He does not regard this policy with
any miSgivings as to the result The silver
coin will be maintained as it now is, at par
with gold, until such time as it RECEIVERS
commercial equality. Mr.. Depew appar-
emily does not delude himself with any hope
that he may become President himself In
his capacity as President Of the Vanderbilt
system of railroads he has incurred the en-
nifty of powerful labor organizations and
thus withdrawn himself from serious con-
ciiarafinn nc H.
situation so fully that efforts to induce him
to accept the nomination for Governor of
New York have met with little encourage

CALIFORNIA PAUPERs.

The census Of 1890 shows that California
is pretty near the head of the column which
represents the numerical relation of pau
perS to population. The foreign-b born pau
pers are more than twice in number to the
native born. 1t is singular that the State in
which labor is best paid and laborers the
most scarce should have larger number of
paupers relatively than the other States.
There must be some cause for such a re-
suit. Foreign born residents of California
often say that there is no poverty here COM
pared with poverty in Europe. 1t is an un-
common thing to see a child that is not
comfortably clad. There are poor people in
the State, but most of them manage to get a
plenty of food, decent clothes and an oc-
casional glass of beer. The drift of poor
people to the poorhouse depends partly
upon the stuff they are made of and partly
upon the poorhouse. A public institution
that sets good table is generally well pat
ronized. certain proportion of the people
are SO constituted that they will fall back on
the pOorhouse If the accommodations are
better there than they can maintain at home.
Our Almshouse has the reputation of setting
good table. 1t may not be quite up to the
second-class hotel in Europe, but it NAV
challenge with any lower class. A certain
penalty attaches to excessive liberaliIy in
the support of public institutions Of this
character. As thera are men who will tramp
rather than work, so there are men who
prefer the Almshouse, If literally conducted,

WHERE Will 1T END?

The Taylor suit in the court presided over
hy Judge Wallace, it seems. has been drop
ned, that is, nothing more will be heard for
the present of the corruptions of men,
lers of the Legislature. for a nonsuit has
been entered, Faylor's attorney cousenting
thereto. What does this mean? Has Fay
Tor been paid, or is it true that for want of
two or three persons as witnesses, who are
believed 10 have handled some of theme
which it is said went to bride members of
tile Legislature, the suit must fail? We
suppose most intelligent persons in the
State believe that portion of the members
Of the Legislature were corrupted, that is,
that they were hired to do certain acts in
other words, that they committed crimes.
Tie suit Of Taylor amounted to as much as
we anticipated when it was commenced.
1t has convinced citizens that the Legislature,
as it has been constituted for some time
past, has been little better than a den Of
thieves. Of course some of the members
OF the Legislature were men who were be-
lleved to be engaged under boss rule in run
ming conventions, in nominating judicial
and other officers and in packing juries
What else could be expected from them
than a betrayal of the public? And how
much better than these members Of the
Legislature are the men who pay them
money for the prostitution Of their positions?

WILL 1T COME BAcKq

The opinion is generally expressed that
the 100000 in gold the United States has
sent 10 Europe will come back this fall.
This gold seems to have gone in response to
an especial demand for it. While no pre-
mium on gold is apparent, it has been made
profitable to ship gold from the United
States. Almost precisely the amount of
gold we have sent to Europe now lies in
three European banks-the Bank of En-
gland, the Bank of France and the Imperial
Bank of Germany. The English bank has
gained within year s27,OOO,0 600. the French
bank 100000 and the German bank S40,-
100000. The aggregate is S76.00O,OOO This
is but S3,0O0,0OO more than Mr.. Depew es-
Inmates our gold export at While increas-
ing its gold stores by $4,000, 600 the Bank of
Germany has parted with $4,000, 900 in
silver. There are already some signs of
return OF our gold. The Bank of England has
lost S17,000.000 within three weeks, while
still holding S27, 100000 in excess of its stock
year ago. The Bank of France is the only
one OF the three banks mentioned which
Keeps large supply of silver. Its present
holdings are reported at S252, 0O0, 900, against
S50,o00,0O0 for the Bank of Germany. The
Bank of England keeps no silver account.
Probably the European banks will have to
give up some of their gold whether they
like to or not.
