COMING OUR WAY.

Single Takers Will Vote For j. b. Weaver
Rather Than d. b. Hill.
The Daily Republican prophesies as
follows:
1.-THE big four will dictate the candi-
date; the convention will acquiesce;
one of the four will be at the head of
already picked out their places in the
cabinet Another prophecy, since we
are in the prophesying line: The people
are not going to like this arrangement. !"
AS this is republican paper the wish
is, of course, father to the prophecy
But, for all that it looks little that
way to some others. My opinion is,
that if Hill is nominated he will not get
many democratic votes in Iowa Many
democrats here would rather vote for
Blaine. A letter just received from a
leading single taxer in Minneapolis
says that single takers there are begin
ming to look toward the alliance party,
and that the new party may be rein
forced by some of the most active sim
gle takers in that country. If the same
crowd that captured the speakership
also capture the national convention,
you may look for general desertion
of the democratic party by western sin
gle takers, and they will be apt to go
to the third party. If the democrats
put up Hill and the new party puts up
Gen. Weaver, the single takers can
readily support the latter, for he is an
absolute free trader and a single taxer

From dozen other sources come the
same or similar information, and the
strong tax reform papers of the east
and north are beginning to talk in the
same vein.
The tax reform league has probably
the best organization in the United
States, and represents not less than q
half million voters, consequently it
would be a powerful recruit and ally
to the peoples party, more than doub-
ling its strength and effective power.

A Clear Record Necessary.

"A clear RECORD necessary
It is superhuous to speculate about
the relative southern popularity of the
different democratic aspirants for the
presidency. The nomination will be
made, as usual, to suit the north, and
the south will support the candidate,
whoever he may be, with her accus.
toned solidity and enthusiastically.

Hold! Don't be so sure!-The south
is not SO closely bound by party ties as
formerly-the calamity howlers'

inaugurated departure from old party
customs. The reform movement and
its adherents is carried in no mans
pocket. The man who secures Their
suffrage will have to present clea,

demands -Southern Mercury.

Walt Street and Senator Hill.

Wall street fights Senator Hill, just
as it does every man who wants to en-.
large the metal basis of note issue and

Wall street does no such thing, and
the Gazette knows it. If Wall street
had fought him he never would have
been governor or senator. The 'specie
basis" idea suits Wall street and all
the brokers and money lenders, be-
cause it puts a positive limit to the
amount of money, thereby keeping the
great majority of the people borrowers
slaves to the money power. Patriots

Democracy, to the machine politi-
clan, simply means office. The people
are not particularly interested in what
individual shall hold Office, but they
are interested and concerned about
what policy that officer shall pursue.
They ask and demand relief from their
burdens, and they want men in office
in accord with that purpose. That is
true democracy-a party of the people
and for the people, and not a party of
politicians for Office and the advance
ment of the interest of ofice-holders
This matter ought to be understood
and acted upon by every voter with the
interest of his country at heart

1T is probable that Mr.. Hill will
prevent the nomination of Mr.. Cleve-
land, as he certainly prevented his
election in 1888, but it does not follow
that Mr.. Hill has any show for the
nomination. as he surely would have
none for election if nominated. Hill
and German represent the republican
wing of the democratic party-or the
democratic wing of the republican
plutocracy. and the people are aware
of it There is no good reason why
every voter should prefer Hill to re.
publican who thinks and acts as Hill
does and serves the same masters.
Hill isn't in it, for if he should be NOM
mated it would be necessary to at once
organize a real democratic party, and
it would be done, too.-Lawrence

Precautions Taken to Prevent the Disease

Precautions Taken to Prevent the Disease
Reaching This City.
People very naturally have horrible dread
of that fell scourge. smallpox, and its pres
ence in Victoria. b. c., Is too near to be
pleasant, in view of the constant traffic be-
tween that city and ours.
A reporter of THE CALL yesterday asked
DIR. Lawler, the quarantine officer, what
precautions he was taking to prevent the in-
PRODUCTION of the disease from Victoria.
I'VE are keeping up" said the doctor, "a
rigorous examination of all passengers, but
il is extremely difficult to detect a case owing
10 the short time IL takes TO reach here from
Victoria by rail or boat. A person may ar
rive here suffering from the disease, but, be-
ing its incubatory stale, how Is IL possible
TO detect it? We are taking all the pTecau-
tons possible, and to-day L yaccinated the
crew of the steamer Walla Walla, which
leaves on Monday for Puget Sound. The
steamers wont take any passengers or
freight Tor Victoria and no tickets are being
sold further than Portland.
:. i believe things are exaggerated about
the smallpox in Victoria. and people are
needlessly alarmed. IT hasn't been declared
epidemic there, and until that Is done the
authorities here will not take cogniZance of
1t. The only thing we can do at present is
to be particularly careful as TO the people
coming in here.
"The quarantine officers must have been
very careless ut Victoria. Here we have
had eight separate cases by the steamers
from China within the past year. but so
effective have been the measures taken to
stamp out the disease that not one single
case has happened in the city. The clothing
of every passenger. cabin and Storage. and
all the freight, were carefully fumigated
after the vessels were placed In quarantine
and the crews vacciuated.
II see no reason to fear that the disease
will be brought here from Victoria, and /
believe 1t will soon be stamped out there"

One new case OF smallpox was reported
to-day and one death. All smallpox cases
were removed to the Jubilee Hospital to-day.
All suspects have been removed to the
hospital grounds to await developments.
There is great Disappointment here at not

Young Sneak Thieves.

about IA years of age, entered the hatstore
of S. Harris at Twenty-frst and Mission
streets yesterday afternoon. and while one
distracted the attention Of the proprietor.
the other helped himself to what he could
lay his hands on. Harris reported the
theft at the Seventeenth street station and
both the young thieves were subsequently,
caught by Sergeant Burke and booked on
a charge of petty larceny. Some Of the
stolen hats were found in their pos. sson
aud will be used as evidence.
