A GENEROUS CRITIC.
nf1Lftnr,, Gnzstte

In another column of this issue we publish
an editorial taken from recent issue of the
CALL entitled "Aligning the Guard" which we
earnestly recommend to the careful and intel
ligent perusal of every guardsman throughout
the State. 1t has been rare in the past for the
Guard to receive anything like fair treatment
at the hands of our metropolitan dailies. but
the CALL, under its new and enlightened man.
agement, has been willing to give credit wher-
ever due, and this has been SO broadly inter-
preted as to include even the National Guard
which has been considered outside the pale of
tolerance hitherto. This fact should prove ne
euharly gratifying to the National Guard. and
we bespeak for the CALL an increased cirou1p.
ton among guardsmen who are capable of
approaching the inestimable value of the
CALLS advocacy of their cause Were the mol
icy OF the CALL more generally followed no
harm, but much good, would result, and we
think that both patriotism and good common

bore too close resemblance to that of
stump speeches to affect the popular mind
at this distance from the real campaign.
1t will also be noted that no man truly
representative of Republican leadership
was present at the convention. This fact
will prevent it from having any deter
mining influence upon the minds OF those
who. wish to hear all sides before arriving
at any hxed conviction upon the subject
1t seems as certain as anything in the
indefinite future can be, that the nations
OF the earth will eventually return to
the free and unrestricted use of silver as
well as gold for money. The steps by
which they are to reach that desired goal
must be left to practical statesmen to de-
termine. In the United States that states
manshlp can be found at the present time
only in the Republican party. We do not
deny that there are many experienced
statesmen and able leaders among the
Democrats, but they cannot agree with
one another. They cannot formulate a
policy which they will support as an
organization. They cannot govern. To the
Republican party alone can the people
look for the right solution of the problems
that confront them, and any talk there
fore OF inducing Republican bimetalllsts
tie leave that party for an ephemeral silver
party presupposes the existence OF fac
tious spirit which has found no place
among loyal Republicans in the past, and
is not likely to be found there in '96.

THE SUNDAY CALL.

The Sunday CALL of tomorrow will, as
usual, bring to its readers literary treat,
containing wide variety of articles, with
something to suit every taste and age.
Among the special features worthy of
particular note will be story of GLOW a
British Midshipman's Peril Was Averted
by Malay Princess" 1t is written by
Dan O'Connell and is marked by yerve,
vigor and exciting interest from the first
line to the last.
The series of "Idyls OF the Fields" is
continued in another of those studies
of outdoor life that have proved so
delightful and instructive. Captain Kings
story of Fort Frayne is concluded. The
news feature of the paper will cover all
events of the day in every part of the
world, and there will be wide variety of
miscellaneous matter, including fashions,
art, science, history, philosophy, travel
and literature. The Sunday CALL can be
had from all newsdealers, but to make
sure of getting it, it will be well to order it
to-day

THE MEMPHIS CONVENTION.

If the Silver Convention in Memphis had
BEEN composed wholly of Democrats from
the Southern States it would have had an
easily understood significance, for it would
have shown something of the force which
the silver men will exert in the next Ma
tional Democratic Convention. Being
composed, however, of Republicans, Dem
ocrats and Populists, coming from States
as widely separated as South Carolina and
California, it will have little or no signifi-
canoe to practical politicians. No one will
suppose that these diverse elements can be
brought to act together at the polls. The
convention, therefore, represented nothing
but vague sentiment and will have little
or no effect upon the course the different
parties will adopt when their leaders as
semble from all parts Of the Union in a
National convention.
The only practical result possible from
such an assembly as that at Memphis
would be the organization of distinct
silver party, drawing its leaders and its
members from all the old parties indis-
criminately. Even in this case, however,
the result would hardly be more than a
flash in the pan. 1t has been proven over
and over again that great National party
cannot be formed in this country on sin
gle issue. 1t was notpossible to form such
party even upon so great an issue as that
of opposition to the extension of slavery,
and it would be utterly futile to attempt it
on the currency question. The contest on
this issue, as on all others, will be fought
out between Republicans and Democrats,
and no convention will be of any practical
Importance that does not aim at building
UP a popular sentiment strong enough to
control one or the other of these organiza-
tons.
The utmost that can be expected Of the
proceedings of the convention will be the
education OF the people upon the merits of
the bimetallic system of money, and even
this will not be effected to any great ex-
tent, The tone of the various addresses

THE STATE FAIR.

The prospectus which has just been
issued of the forty-second annual fair of
the State Agricultural Society gives abund-
ant promise of a more than ordinarily sue
cessful exposition. Over $4,000 has
been set apart for premiums. The list in
cludes awards for successful exhibitors in
every form OF industry, and in addition
thereto the society offers gold medal to
the most meritorious exhibit in each de-
partment, while for the most attractive
and artistically designed display in the
pavilion there is offered a special gold
medal.
The prizes offered, however, are but
small part of the inducements offered to
exhibitors. The greatest benefits will be
derived from the exhibition itself, and the
knowledge thereby given to the public of
the products which the exhibitor has for
sale. The advantages of this kind afforded
by the State Fair can hardly be over
rated. The buildings are sufficiently spa
cious to allow exhibitors ample room for
good display, and the railroads will give
free transportation for exhibits, as well as
reduced passenger rates for visitors. As a
result the number of exhibits in each de-
partment will be sufficient to attract at
tention and nparison, and the number
OF persons who will inspect them will in
clude many whose good opinion will make
a considerable and valuable market for
any article that wins their approval and
commentator.
The society has acted wisely in making
special efforts for the fair this year. The
conditions of the time and the prospects
ahead not only justify such efforts but re-
quire them. Any California organization
that does not have energy enough to move
forward this year will fall behind it's oppor-
tunities. The revival of the normal activ-
ity Of trade and industry, which has been
common all over the country, has in Cali
fornia been accompanied by an awakened
spirit of enterprise which, not content with
former good, is pressing forward every
where to new enterprises and new accom-
plishments.
This spirit which everywhere manifests
itself in undertakings of all kinds from
railroad construction to festivals, and
which IN every county is evident in some
form OF local development, viii find at the
State Fair an opportunity for grand
State display. It cannot be questioneJ. that
the progressive element OF the people will
take full advantage of the opportunity and
make the most of it. The special efforts
made by the Agricultural Society, there
fore, are In certain sense response to
public demand, for the society must pre-
pare Tor greater things than usual, in order
to meet the requirements of the occa sion.
1t goes without saying that the whole
State, and San Francisco, in particular,
should cooperate in making the fair
comprehensive display of the resources
and industries of the State. 1t ought 70
represent the revival of State pride as well
as of State industry. 1t should manifest
every aspect OF the new conditions that

New York, Chicago and St. Louis Twelve
years ago this famous actor, who by the way is
rated one of the best of to-day, appeared in
San Francisco, his reception amounting prac-

were John Mccullough, Thomas Keene, Harry
Edwards and other old-time favorites.
Mr. Dampier has particular fondness for
tragedy, although he is equally at home in
comedy and character roles. In this respect
