Mr.. Hirsch was in Turkey over three years
during the Harrison administration. He says
there are great many American merchants

rLurocRACY AND PATERNALIsM!

Professor Lester F. Ward in the Forum.
There is no greater danger to CIVILIZATION
than the threatened absorption by few lnd1@
viduals of all the natural resources OF the
earth, so that they can literally extort tribute
from the rest of mankind. If hall dozen pers
sons could get possession of all the breadstufS
of a country. it would justify revolutions
Fortunately, from the nature OF this products
this is impossible, although long strides in that
direction have from time to time been taken.
But it is otherwise with some other productss
which. if less indispensable, are still among
the modern necessaries OF life. All the petro@
leum of this country is owned by single trust.
If men could not live without IT there is no
telling how high the price would be raised+
Nothing limits it but the question OF how much
the public would pay rather than do withouts
That indispensable product, coal, has wells
nigh reached the same stage through the sew
eral railroad com mbinat1ons that now control lts
That which costs 90 cents to mine, and as
much more to transport, cannot be obtained
by the consumer for less than So So. Does
it speak well for the common-sense OF grear
people that they should continue to submit to-
such things? There seems to be no remedy
except in the power OF the nation.

AN EARNEST WARNING.

THE CALL does not think that its inter-
ference in local Democratic politics will be
regarded as an i'm pertinence by those who
desire honest government and appreciate
THE CALLS efforts TO secure it. For that
matter it deems the attitude of the Exam
iaer sufficient warrant for assailing the
Democratic methods which have brought
so much harm upon the City.
Here is a great Democratic newspaper
the strongest in all the West-appealing to
the Democracy OF San Francisco to purge
itself of the infamous elements which are
working its destruction and making this
great City reproach to civilization. The
Examiner is unsparing in its disclosures
and relentless in its pursuit. No honest
and intelligent Democrat can deny that in
doing this it is exhibiting the highest
fealty to its party, nor doubt that it is the
only course which honorable Democrats
and good citizens can pursue. A very un-
usual aspect of the Examiners policy is its
absolute fearlessness in creating antagon-
isms of the most bitter and unscrupulous
kind within its own party. This is incon-
trovertible evidence of its independence
based on prosperity. Instead of covering
up the sores and hiding the scandals in it's
party, it is holding them up day after day
to public scorn, and it's attitude is an ap-
peal to the manhood of every respectable
Democrat.
And yet it is merely doing it's duty. 1t
is trying to rid its party of the disgraceful
leadership of men who were indict ed by a
Grand Jury of honorable men for Infamous
crimes against the people. 1t calls atten-
ton to the fact that these men dared TO re.
turn only after the statute of Limitations had
made their prosecution impossible; that
their flight was a virtual confession of
guilt, and that had they stood trial they
undoubtedly would be to-day wearing the
stripes OF convict. 1t sees that these
same men are boldly assuming to recover
the leadership of the party; that through
the extraordinary Indifference of some
Democrats and the depravity OF others
success may attend these efforts, and that
if so there will be continuance of the
infamies of past years.
We should like to know to what extent
the respectable Democrats of San Fran
cisco appreciate the efforts of their lead
ing newspaper in behalf OF the City and
the party. Are the morality and the pat
riotism of the party at large of so low and
feeble an order as not to appreciate and
make the most OF this extraordinary situa-
ton? The good citizens in the Democracy,
with so powerful an agency to support
them, would find no difficulty in driving
out the rogues who are seeking to make
tools of them for infamous purposes if
they proceed with the vigor and intelli-
peuce which men muet have in order t0
be worthy of the privileges of citizenship.

JAPAN AND THE TARIFF.
Yreka JournaI.

THE CALL is showing what the practical re-
moval OF the tariff from some articles is doing
for California. Japanese artisans, such as
those who make furniture, work for 10 cents q
day. Furniture comes in with low duty
FUrniture-dealers are stimulating the Japanese
to make furniture, and are bringing it here to
sell. 1t is as good, or better, than American
made furniture-for the Japanese are cunning
craftsmcn-and can be sold away under it. No
American workmen can begin to compete with
the japanese. We need law, not only to keep
out goods made by foreign paupers, but the
paupers themselves.

A PRETTY WAIST.

One cannot have too many waists for house
and evening wear. The demand for extra
waists is steadily growing, and one of the
latest fancies is for shirring. Bright plaids are
very effective when made in this way and are
very stylish. mixture of green, gray and
red in medium-sized plaid was made after
this pattern and had collar OF green chiffon
to match.
Another OF brown, violet aud greens had n
violet velvet collar with bunch oil yiolets on
either side and tiny roll of violet yeivst
finished the bottom of the waist.
washable silks made up very prettily after
this model, and all the light-wefght evening
goods are used to carry out this design. 4
pink and white striped silk had n trimming of
white lace over the sleeve puffs, tho front ends
being cut away to form points that meet nj ihe
bottom OF the waist Pink satin ribbon IN
ished the edge OF the lace fuifis aud iormad
bows on the shoulders. A roll Of the sn mis- /
the bottom and q collar OF wider ribbon n n
lshed the neat costume, the skirt oi which was

RIGHTS OF A WIFE.
Lodi Review

decision which, if sustained by the Su-
preme Court, will demoralize property titles
in this State has been rendered by, Judge Slack
OF San Francisco in the case of Spreckels VS..
Spreckels, in which Claus and Anna Spreckels
suing for the possession OF certain stock
given by Claus Spreckels to his son, Rudolph
Spreckels. The court holds that as Mrs.
Spreckels failed to protest within the statu-
tory time her right to protest falls anyway,
regardless OF statutes and amendments. The
decision is upon demurrer submitted by
Rudolph Spreckels, and by its terms the de-
murrer is sustained. This establishes the
precedent that community property may be
transferred by one party.

READ IN FAMILIES.

Watsonvllle Paaronan, Nov. zS.
The Chronicle and Examiner are giving much
space to circulation returns. Both have made
telling hits. 1t is proitless war to both. There
is not a large daily circulating through news
agents that does not send out lots OF extra
copies. The paper that is taken into the home
circle and read by the heads of families is the
publication of public influence ana the one of
value to advertisers. Very little of the train
reading of newspapers brings return to adver-
tisers. As to the point which of the City dailies
has the largest circulation, it is probable that
