THE STATE FAIR.

Amid the conflicting attractions of other
things the producers of California should
not overlook the importance of preparing
for the State Fair. 1t is through that ex-
position the people of the State are to be
made acquainted with the products of the
State, and the home market enlightened
for more extensive support of home in
dustries.
Sacramento has already shown an appre-
citation of the fact that the annual State
Fair is one of her greatest advantages, and
has never failed to extend a generous aid
and hearty support to the Agricultural So
ciety in making them universally attract
i've and instructive to all classes of people.
The city, at the season of the year when
the fairs are held, is one of the most de-
lightful on the coast and the hospitality
OF the people Joined to the pleasures of the
fair itself never fails to make the time
spent there as pleasant as possible to
every visitor. This year special efforts
are to be made by both the society and the
city, and as consequence the fair will be
marked by All exceptional excellence in
every department.
1t should not be left altogether to the
agricultural society and Sacramento, how
ever, to make the fair this year more than
ordinarily successful. Every section of the
State should assist. Every man who pro-
duces anything of high quality should
cooperate. There should be general
ambition to make the fair q comprehensive
exposition of all the industries of the State
and display of everything likely to aug
ment the demand for home goods among
our own people or attract custom from
abroad.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that San
Francisco should take the lead in this
work of promoting the fair. Our manu-
facturers have much to sell to the people
OF the interior, and our people constitute
the greatest local market for the products
OF the interior. There is therefore COM
plete reciprocity of benefits to be gained
by the City and the State from the greatest
possible development of the fair. The time
to prepare for it has come, and there
should be q general interest taken in the
subject by all producers who are eager to
advance the City by advancing the State.

ing or debt-paying power Of the dollar,
whether OF silver. gold or paper, will be
at all times equal"
Our correspondent says the Grange
wishes to understand the meaning of the
resolution, and therefore he very properly
applies to the CALL as a representative Re-
publican paper to explain it. His question
is this: docs the resolution mean that if
under existing law, supplemented by free
coinage or not, silver is presented at the
United States treasury to be exchanged
for gold, in excess of the gold available for
exchange, that the United States shall
borrow gold enough to continue to make
the exchange forever?"
The resolution referred to was not
adopted by the convention nor the COM
mittee, nor was it even subject to an elab-
crate discussion. In the absence of any
explanation in debate we are not prepared
to say absolutely what the author meant
by 1t. We can assert, however, that no
resolution that even indirectly or by inn
pllcatlon suggested a continuance of the
Cleveland policy of issuing bonds and in
creaslng the public debt to borrow gold,
Will ever be adopted or even seriously
offered in a Republican convention. The
author of this resolution undoubtedly in
tended 1T as a pledge to maintain the ex-
lsllng system of money, but he had in
mind the fact that successive Republican
administrations have maintained this sys-
tenn without borrowing gold; on the con-
trary they have maintained it while con-
tinually redeeming bonds and decreasing
the public debt year after year.
That such question should have been
asked is but an evidence of the confusion
in the public mind on this much discussed
problem. This confusion results from
confounding the evils growing out of the
imbecility of the Cleveland administration
and the deficit tariff, with the factors
essential to the monetary problem itself.
Restore to the country an efficient Govern
ment and tariff that will protect our in
dustries and yield an abundant revenue,
and more than half the difficulties that
now involve the financial issue will pass
away. What course the Republican party
will take when the question comes up Tor
practical solution we are not prepared to
say, for the conditions of that time may be
very different from those of to-day; but
every citizen may be we'll assured that it
will be policy bearing no resemblance in
aims, methods or results to that by which
Cleveland, the free traders and the money
mongers have reduced the country to such
distress in the past two years.

AROUND THE coRR1poRs.

William Greer Harrison, playwright, author
Roman umpire and poet, is deep in the study
OF new discovery, not made by Mr.. Harrison
himself, but by musician in London.
He met Henry M. Bosworth. the organist
yesterday in the Palace Hotel and at once took
the musician by the arm and led him off to 9
quiet spot
"Bosworth," he began, "have you heard o.
the latest marvel in the world of muster"
"No, Harrison. What is it?" answered the
orgsnist, looking very much interested and
drawing near the author in anticipation o.
something exceptionally novel, as Mr.. Harri-
son does not display much interest unless he
has discovered something unusual.
simply this, Bosworth. There is a man in
London who has succeeded In making color

so arranged his instrument that each vibra-

which is color, is cast upon the screen in the
shape of materialized shades or tints. Wait

when that is struck full note the vibra-
ton will, by means of perfect mechanical as

color, or yellow, or whatever color its yibrat-
ing force creates.

You see, Bosworth, this man has taken advan-
tage of the three primary colors and the three
combinations of tone which make music and
made them an affinity to each other Wonder
full, Bosworth, wonderful. Just think of the
possibilities it presents. Every time note is
struck or a chord is played the colors which
represent Its sound combinations appear on the
screen, and il the chord is not played correctly
the color plan is spoiled. 1t is therefore neces-
ssry to play in perfect time in order to get per-
fect effeCts. Color and sound should har-
monte. If one is defective the other will
suffer in consequence"
HAS this discovery been introduced to the
public, Greer %
Certainly. Tried in q large hall in London,
and the first exhibition nearly drove the mu-
sicians crazy with delight. 1t pleased and
amazed everybody who witnessed it. There
was one objection to it, however, which can
probably be overcome in time. When rapid
music was played the changing colors, moving
like lightning, made it very painful to the eyes
OF hose who witnessed it. Nobody could watch
the colors change any great length OF time
That is mere detail against it, however, as
the prime feature of the discovery was found to
be the groundwork of wonderful science
Think of its possibilities, Bosworth, and they
will amaze YOU

watch and declared that 1t was about time for
him to catch the next Car to the Lurline Baths

THE DENVER OUTRAGE.

Denver has just produced one OF those
disgraceful sensations which arise out of
the wish of the people, on one hand, for an
honest administration of the city govern
ment, and, on the other, the tendency OF
public officers to betray the trust reposed
in them. The Aldermen-at least, ma
iority of them-were elected on q distinct
pledge not to perpetuate the shameful con-
tract existing between the city and. the
water company. Recently there have
been such indications of falling from
grace on the part of one of the members
one Emery, whose vote on behalf of the
peoples interest was necessary to destroy
the old corrupt compact-that the citizens
have attended the meetings OF Alder
men with unaccustomed assiduity. A very
| stormy scene occurred the other night
when Emery voted to extend the obnoxious
contract fifteen years, but demonstration
on the part of the audience prevented the
final passage of the measure. Then at a
secret meeting the vote was passed. The
Aldermen escaped by the windows to their
homes, and heavy patrol OF police pre-
vented lynching.
This is particularly unfortunate for Dens
yer just now, for after suffering severely
from the hard times and most unjust
railroad discrimination it had secured the
services of the Interstate Commerce Com
| mission to right the worst of its wrongs
and was getting into an excellent position
to enjoy the benefits of the natural wealth
with which its territory abounds. The
corrupt influence Of both the water. and
street railway companies has been an old
sore, which the last election was intended
to heal. The prospect therefore was
bright. There would be no more scandals,
no more robbery, no more outrages, and
as the fortunes of Denver are so closely
allied to those of San Francisco our people
were feeling generous reflex of the glow

WROUGHT A GREAT CHANGE.
Santa Maria Graphic.

The new CALL has certainly wrought
marvellous changes in San Francisco Jour
nalism.. A few short months ago there
was jealousy existing between all the
dailies which never failed to show itself
upon the slightest pretext. Neither one
had any use for the others, and no matter
how great n piece of enterprise either of
them showed the fact did not receive even
the slightest mention from its contempo-
raries. But now all is different The new
CALL set the pace. 1t believed that mas
ter strokes in journalism, even when &C
complished by ''hated rival" were none
the less worthy of commentator. and in
numerous instances has displayed it with
a lavish hand 1t gained in popularity
thereby, and it took but very Short time
for the others to adopt its style.
