efficiently than if they proceeded sepa-
rately. The value OF this principle is rec
ognized by labor organizations, which
have their Federated Trades. In short 1t
is evident that if the bodies OF citizens
working for the advancement of the City
should form federation they could do
far more effective work than under the
present unorganized plan. This fedora
tion could be. formed in The usual way OF
constituting central directing body, COM
posed of delegates. from the various
branches and having power to direct their
actions. This central body would repre-
sent q consolidation of all the strength
which is being put forth by intelligent
citizens for the City,s good.
The power of such federation would be
enormous. Corrupt municipal politics and
dishonest public improvements would be
impossible in its presence and the advance
ment of the City on Intelligent and har-
monious lines would be assured. The
ability of men thus to organize and work
for common purpose constitutes just
measure of their intelligence, public spirit
and patriotism. We should like to see
these qualities manifested in the highest
possible form by the leading men and
women of San Francisco

" THE SUNDAY CALL"

The bright particular feature of THE SUM-
DAY CALL tomorrow will be the publica-
ton of the papers read at the recent meet
ing of the Chit-Chat Club. These papers,
covering a wide variety of subjects, will
appeal strongly to cultured readers and
prove both interesting and instructive to
all.
Professor Edward B. Clapp's paper deals
with ''Classics in Ancient and Modern
Times" The Hon. Horace Davis fur
nishes an entertaining review of "Med-
ieval Literature" Professor w. HI. Hud-
son treats critically the interesting subject
of Modern Fiction" General Lucius H.
Foote, in an essay of rare discrimination
and excellence, answers the question,
"What is Poetry?" DR.. J. Dennis Arnold
contributes bright discourse on "Wit and
Fancy in the World Of Letters" Each of
the five papers was carefully prepared for
submission 10 a critical and intellectual
audience, and will rank among the best
contributions ever made to the higher
literature of journalism.
A notable article for tomorrow is an
elaborate review of the second volume of
John Shermans Memoirs of Forty Years
in the House, Senate and Cabinet" This
work, which deals with recent American
politics and explains all political events
from the point of view OF one who was a
leader in shaping them, is one of the most
important contributions made by a states
man to American history. The state
ments made in the memoirs, which are
startling to a considerable degree, have
already given rise to many controversies,
and the points involved III them are fully
covered in our review of the work, so that
this article in THE CALL tomorrow should
be read by all who wish to be informed on
our political history in late years.
Joaquin Miller has valuable paper on
"a Possible West Point" full of good sug-
gestions of what might be done with the
Preston School at lone. W. C. Morrow
has an entertaining account of 1.-Two Inter-
esting Types of City Boys" Florence
Blanchard, a California girl, discusses
american Art in Paris" and the regular
departments of the Sunday paper, includ-
ing Book Reviews, Fashions for Men and
Women. Random Notes, Childhood s
Realm, ETC., are, as usual, well filled with
matters OF current interest.

ENTHUSIASTIC WORKERS.

Such a movement as that which has been
begun to bring the Republican National
Convention to San francisco was needed
to rouse the people and make them show
that they have both public spirit and an
appreciation of the wonderful resources of
the State. 1t was remarkable fact that
OF the hundred citizens summoned from all
parts. of the State to meet here Thursday
as a committee on promotion only four
were absent when the roll was called, and
all these sent hearty assurances OF CO.
operation.
The plan of campaign is developing so
rapidly that it is difficult to comprehend
its magnitude. One of the best of the de-
tails that has been settled upon is that OF
sending a committee of editors 10 labor
with the press throughout the Eastern
States. AS the newspapers Of. California
have worked so ably and harmoniously for
the convention and have been so vital an
agency in stimulating public energy, it is
correctly assumed that their Eastern con-
freres if brought into line can accomplish
a similar result at that end of the field.
1t is refreshing to see that not the slight
est local or personal or political jealousy
mas p6eH utNtAOpcQ. LOo <lu6CACo ID WIN
ing Just as earnestly as San Francisco and
Democrats have put their shoulders man.
fully to the wheel. Every community in
the State is TO constitute center of activ
ity and individual citizens are adding
their personal efforts in the East to the in
fiuence of the organized committees.
An important step decided to be taken is
personal work among those members of
the National Committee who live west of
the Rocky Mountains. All this region is
as deeply interested as California in bring
ing the convention to San Francisco, and
if they all work earnestly they will be a
power. The Southern members should re-
ceive careful attention. Their natural
sympathies ought to be with California.
AS for the rumor that Chicago has sud-
denly become alarmed by the aggressive
ness of San Francisco and is moving to
organize a fight to secure both conven-
tions, it ought not to be difficult to con-
vince the broad minded men who compose
the National committees Of both parties
that vastly more could be accomplished by
coming TO San Francisco than by going to
Chicago. On the score of curiosity or in
terest Chicago's great exposition left moth
ing unsatisfed, while the experiences and
knowledge to be acquired here are all alb
solutely unique and unknown in the East.
