OUR POLICY.
to the city

The aim OF the new management of The
CALL is to make not metropolitan jour
nal merely, but broad, generous Cali
fornia newspaper. having close touch
with every county and every industry in
the State and finding a welcome and a
careful reading in every household.
We are proud of San Francisco. We
love California. We have a sympathy for
everything that would bind them together
in mutual interest, and resolute into-
cranes of anything that tends 20 put them
into even a seeming antagonism.
Great destinies await the common wealth
and the metropolis. To San Francisco be-
longs the almost infinite possibilities of the
expanding commerce of the Pacific. The
greatest of the oceans of earth is rapidly
becoming the scene of its greatest COM
mercial activities, and San Francisco can
not sit much longer indifferent to fate"
as she eonfronts the increasing forces
around her, but must arouse and assert
herself master of her fate and lord of that
heritage of ocean which is to the world at
once the Oceident and the Orient.
CDon every interest of the interior,
upon every section and upon every indus
try, we propose to keep the careful watch
Of an ardent friend and an unfail-
ing champion. We shall establish
a regular department of THE CALL
devoted especially to each of the
great industries of the common wealth.
Men mpetent by knowledge and by SYM
patty with each industry. to promote its
welfare and record its progress. will be
entrusted with the work. We intend TO
make this marked and dominant feature
of the paper. Every progressive man will
find The CALL in harmony with his aspi-
rations and ready to assist him in pro-
noting bis enterprises. We are for the
whole State and all that is within it DOW
or can possibly be developed within it.
In special degree we are Interested in
The revival of our mining industries,
which have given our State its fame, and
to which 1t owes so much. We do not like
the common conception Of the order of de-
velopment in California as change from
the pastoral industry to the mining indus
try. from mining to farming and from
farming to fruit-growing. We prefer to
regard the genius of our development as
skillfal weaver, who, TO his original
thread, ADDS many threads, but never
drops the first, con tinuing to weave it with
the others as part and parcel of the COM
pleted pattern.
In California there is ample room for
pastoral, mining. farming. fruit-growipg.
Bine-making and manufacturing industries
to develop continuously; and so long ss
the mountains contain any remaining
portions of their precious ore. we desire
the genius of progress to 90 on weaving
their golden threads through all the warn
and wool of our prosperity.
Deep as is our interest in the m lining In
dustry, we are not forgetful of the interests
OF the fertile valleys and the streams. We
indulge in no idle platitudes when we
say that we favor revival of
hydraulic mining without injury to
the valley interests. We are confident
that practical method OF doing this can
be put into operation at cost that would
be trifling in comparison with the wealth
that would result from it. To effect il.
there needs nothing but q harmonious
agreement between the opposing interests
and cordial cooperation in obtaining
