A GOOD EFFECT.
San Diego Union.

Whether or not San Francisco succeeds in
obtaining the Republican National Conven-
ton the efforts that are now being made to at
tain this end cannot fail to have wholesome
effect upon the entire State. This is one of the
few occasions in recent years when all Califor-
mia has united for an object in which the
people in every part of the State take an inter-
est, although primarily the end to be attained
is for the benefit OF but one locality. If the
efforts TO secure the convention do no more
than to teach Californians the advantage of
pulling together they will not have been
wholly in vain, even though the convention
goes elsewhere.

The confirmation by B. F. Jones of the sensa-
tional story that the members of the Republi-

Chicago police at the convention of 1888 con-

relevancy as bearing on the question of loca-

ST. Louis Glohe-Democrat.

Senator Quay favors Pittsburg for the meet
ing-place of the Republican National Conven-
ton of 1 S96, and June 10 for the date. Pitts
burg is too far away from the geographical and
population centers of the country to be an
acceptable place for the convention. ST. Louis
is nearer both points. In fact ST. Louis is
ideally well situated and equipped for having
d gathering of this sort.

Mr.. Quay, the Pennsylvania "boss." wants
an early convention, and he wants it held at
Pittsburg. 'tBoss" Platt wants late conven-
ton at Chicago; other 'Fbosses'' who have less
influence are in favor OF San Francisco. If San
Francisco be chosen the party will be beaten,
because no successful National ticket was ever
nominated there. This is at least one ground
for Democratic encouragement.

Will stand the wear and tear of American ideas
in this land of liberty. The present offensive

Chicago had come to be regarded as the con-

stead of has because for some wholly indefensi-
BILE reason it is now in the position of not only
not seeking to maintain this position, but posi-
lively abandoning it. No less than three Chi
cago dailies have repealed the selection of
Chicago as the place for holding the next
National Republican Convention. Such q
spectacle was never witnessed before in the
history of the United States.

There is a prospect that in the future that is
now not discouragingly far away there will be
an American administration in charge of this
Government that will assert itself. There
has been too much indecision, hesitation,
parleyiug and trucking. The people would
rather have little jingoism than so much
colorless, backboneless statecraft.

The way to get rid of the morning glory is to

The emulation of gum from a bruise on a
young fruit tree caused by the bark having
been knocked off is injurious to the tree and
will retard its growth. Care should be taken
