THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

There is one aspect in which the hold
ing of the Republican National Conven-
ton at San Francisco may be viewed which
gives to the matter peculiar National i'm
portance. Were it not that the Republi-
can party has charged itself with the safe
conduct of all those broad policies which
concern the prosperity and happiness of
the whole people, the suggestions which
we are now to present might not be deemed
so important; but as the party has as
sumed SO comprehensive responsibility,
and in the past has executed it with so
much intelligence and fidelity, it might
consider, with profit to its own aims and
hopes, the arguments which we shall now
advance.
The point of view must first be made
wholesome. Let ii be assumed for mo-
ment that it is not our sole aim to secure
the convention for the purpose of booming
California, and that it is possible for Cali
fornia Republicans to be animated by as
broad National spirit as it is possible to
find in all the country. Assuming that
the great Republican leaders of the country
will adopt this point of view, and that they
will not charge the faithful supporters of
the party in California with a mean desire
to use the powerful Republican organiza-
ton as a commercial instrument for adver-
Using our State and thus enhancing the

AN OAKLAND GODDESS.

A highly intelligent faction of Oakland
society has successfully opposed the idea
OF electing goddess OF liberty for the
Fourth of July celebration there. They
have taken the matter quite seriously and
have arrayed the following arguments
against the plan: That it cheapens, vul-
garizes and degrades young womanhood
to determine the quality of young lady s
charms by public balioting; that as the
votes are paid for there is an inducement
on the one hand to indulge in unseemly
campaigning, and on the other to q reck-
less sduandering of money by the young
ladies' supporters; that such an election
is sham and fraud, as it is wholly worth
less IN determining the end which it as
sumes to have, and that heart-burnings
and enmities that time cannot heal grow
out of the contest
This is dreadfully serious view of the
case, and as it is in the nature of very
pointed rebuke to. the estimable Young
women who in nearly all the leading
towns of the State have recently engaged
or are about to engage in such contests,
the action of the Oakland ladies deserves
little attention. 1t would be difficult to

market value of our properties, let Us now,
from this point of view, inquire what the
whole country might gain from the hold.
| Ing OF the convention at San Francisco.
The first great fact that confronts US is
the intermediary position which California
occupies between the United States and
the most favored parts of Europe. That is
to say, California is the only State in the
Union that can produce many OF the ex-
penslve articles which are consumed
largely in this country, and which are pro-
duced elsewhere only in foreign countries,
and which. therefore, constitute very i'm
portant element of import-tariff charges
and reciprocity arrangements. This very
important consideration has not heretofore
received anything like due consideration
at the hands of either of the great political
parties.
To be more specific, among these
articles which California produces are
wines of the quality and range of those
produced in France, Italy, Germany
and Spain, olives and olive oil
equal to those of Italy, figs of the
kind and excellence of those produced in
Asia Minor and on the shores of the Adri-
attic Sea, eucalyptus oil to compete with
Australia, pyrethrum to supplant the in
sect powder which Persia sends, grapes of
a range from the Concord and Isabella of
New England to the Scuppernong OF the
Gulf of Mexico and the whole tribe from
Malaga to the Cote dor. loquats and plums
from Japan, scent-yielding plants from
every corner of the world, apricots, sugar
beets, nectarines and silk. In addition we
oil ro1, HI oil in,
other but very limited American districts,
as oranges, lemons, lines and prunes. Be-
sides all these are the vast known. undis-
covered and checked deposits of gold, to-
gether with a bewildering array of valua-
BILE base minerals. And all this is added to
our production of every conceivable staple
article, including all the cereals cotton,
hemp, flax, tobacco, wool, lumber and
flower and vegetable seeds. About all that
we do not produce is coffee, tea and opium,
and even the last two of these might be
produced under a sufficient protective
tariff.
Is it not worth the while of great po-
litical party to consider seriously the bear
ing of these facts upon the prosperity Of
the Nation? Is it not the duty of such a
party to see and understand these condi-
tons and be enabled thereby to adjust
them wisely to the needs of the country?
The holding of the convention at San
Francisco would not only be the discharge
of a perfunctory duty, but it would
present an opportunity for studying
the resources of the garden of the
Union and for applying the resulting
knowledge to the needs of the whole coun-
fry in the form Of heueficeut nOljciaS and
wise legislation.
And so we say to the leaders of the Re-
publican party: Come West.

convince us that these girls OF the interior
have less womanliness or modesty than is
becoming to girls, or that their woman
hood has been cheapened and degraded,
or that bitter animosities have resulted or
are likely to ensue. We have an idea that
the typical California girl has more sense
than prudcry, and that much of her
matchless charm is due to that dash,
spirit, independence and character which
make her stand apart from her weaker and
almost colorless sisters OF less fortunate
communities.
Many have regarded these contests as
harmless play, and hence had never seen
degradation in them in the numerous ways
in which for all time they have been con-
ducted-at fairs, at social gatherings, at
May-queen elections. On the contrary
there had seemed always to be something
peculiarly attractive about them, includ
ing the cultivation of a chivalric admira-
ton OF the sex and a recognition of the fact
that It's charms and graces are worthy of o
struggle. We had reflected that from the
dawn of civilization, from the moment
when women were elevated above the
primitive conditions of tribal slavery, the
flower of manhood has contended in doing
them honor; that thrones and empires have
fallen before the dainty uplifted finger of
woman, and that to the extent to which
women are adored and cherished by the
men of nation is the national standard
OF manhood high and noble.
Must we now revise this standard of
chivalry and say that our girls shall not be
shamed by having their names banded
about in a public contest? Then where
shall we draw the line between feminine
modesty and woman's right to go forth
into the world free and fearless, using the
heart and courage and strength that God
has given her for the good of the world?
But, in any event, Oakland will celebrate
in a manner worthy of her intelligence and
patriotism. her beauty and her chivalry.

AROUND THE CITY.

1t is not SO very expensive matter to
take certain drive which we shall now
outline, especially since the bicycle has
given livery stables an exceptional oppor-
tunity "to please" The drive begins, say
downtown, and the first pleasant roadway
encountered is Van Ness avenue. This is
followed northwardly past Union street
nearly to Fort Mason, where good drive
way westwardly to the Preside is found
1t is in travelling this street that one finds
cause for genuine regret that James G.
Fair died before completing, in the filling
in OF the hundreds of marshy acres lying
in the vicinity of Harbor View, one of the
greatest improvements ever undertaken by
private enterprise in San Francisco.
Beyond this lies the Preside. recently
made particularly interesting by the cree
ton of new military defenses. Mcdowell
avenue, a splendid macadamized highway,
reveals all these evidences OF the savage
instinct of fighting, which civilization"
has only made more murderous-the great
guns that carry nine miles to sea and the
plant for the famous dynamite battery
that is to blow whole invading fleets out of
the ocean.
This avenue gives an outlet to Lobos
avenue, which has fallen into unpopularity
because of the superior attractions of the
park. But Mr.. Sutro's electric road has
been laid over the ropte as Jar west as his
baths, and it is to be but short time till
the cars are running. The avenue ends at
the beach, where the new Cliff House is
seen rearing its airy framework heaven
ward, and beyond that is an incompatible
drive on the hard wet sand to the road
which turns abruptly eastward toward the
City.
We pass the Ingleside, where poor old
Stage was recently murdered, and find it
in the hands of new lessee, who has re-
juvenated the famous resort. Here we
may turn sharply to the north into the
Corbett road and follow it over the most
picturesque and spectacular drive on the
whole peninsula. This is the drive that is
to form the western extension Of Market
street to the ocean beach. In crossing the
range of mountains which cut the PENN
sula north and south this splendid road
brings into review a succession of such
splendid and bewildering panoramas as
may be seen only from these towering
heights in the neighborhood of Twin
Peaks, 300 feet above the level of the sea.
The lights and shadows made by the after
noon sun as one descends the grade to the
level of the City, with broad views of the
numerous valleys into which the City is
divided, the bay stretching in shining
mass to Oakland, and beyond it the hills
of Contra Costa above which are upreared
the somber peaks of Mount Diablo, make a
series of pictures matches for variety and
responsiveness.

A GENERAL BENEFIT.

In entering into IN alliance with The
United Press the CALI. has placed itself in
position to be of larger service than
ever. not only to its readers, but to the
whole of the vast region known as the
Greater West. This results from the fact
that it will furnish news to all the papers
allied with that great organization as well
as receive it from them, and thereby OBJ
tain the publication in the leading journals
OF the country of all those events of cur
rent interest on this coast which it deems
worthy of telegraphing.
The CALL not only realizes that the new
alliance gives it in this way great power to
be OF service to the City, the State and the
coast, but is fully conscious OF the respon-
sibility that power imposes. Ever since it
passed into the hands of the present
management the CALL has aimed to fulfill
all the duties and worthily bear the title
OF the Champion of Pacific Coast interests
and Pacific Coast men. With the attain
ment of position that affords new and
larger opportunities to advance these in
terests 1t will pursue that aim with re-
newed ardor and undiminished ZEAL AS
a representative of The United Press on
to make the reports full, accurate and
comprehensive of all events that make
mp the life of our community and afford a
true knowledge of what the Pacific Coast is.
1t is not easy to estimate the full extent
OF the influence for good the CALL can ex-
ert in its new position. California has
never been fully understood in the East.
1t has been regarded only as land of
gold, OF romance, of deserts, of adventur-
ers, of booms, of endless sensations and
exaggerations. 1t is time to make it
known as a land of thousand resources,
well-ordered law, industrious people, safe
business, colleges, churches, homes and a
continuous advancement in enterprises
based upon solid foundations and directed
by conservative judgment. The reports
The United Press will send East will fairly
present the facts of Pacific Coast develop
ment and not give more importance to pass
ing sensations than to legitimate news items
OF industry, politics, education and other
forces that make for the welfare OF society.
In this way the people of the older sections
OF the Union will get juster ideas of this part
of the Republic. They will read day by day
OF our increasing prosperity and expand
ing energies. They will learn of our wide
spread industries as well as of those iso-
lated crimes which have too often Seen
treated as the only news of the day from
California. In short, they will acquire the
truth and the whole truth, and that will
be as much benefit to the Pacific Coast as
can be desired by its most earnest advo-
cate and most stalwart champion.
