THE CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
Where you see a coming election you see
signs of Republican success.
We shall have sport this wlnter-at least
the new baseball league says so.
People who have nothing else to do in
these days watch the gold reserve.
A veto cannot reach the tax levy. but
perhaps an injunction may head it off.
We must have the next Republican con-
vention and to get it we must work for it.
Any State the Republicans cannot carry
this year must be badly stuck in the mud.
1t is beginning to be noted in the East
that saloons along bicycle routes don't
pay.
This Solid Eight regard everything that
comes before them as swill for their
trough.
In the proper place the shark has no
scales, but when sold for sturgeon the
thing is scaly.
The only breakings reported in these
days are the summer engagements and the
bicycle records.
When we get rid of Cleveland there is
hope we shall also get rid of the whole race
OF mugwumps.
If the proposed Lexow proceedings in
Pittsburg do not end in smoke they will
surprisethe city.
1t seems we must rely on the courts to
check the Solid Eight as well as punish Or
binary offenders.
Chattanooga has magnificent National
Park at Chickamauga, but she had to put
up big fight to get it.
1t looks as if the municipal ownership of
water works would soon be question of
practical politics in this City.
AS neither the Mayor nor the police of
Spokane can arrest one another each can
disturb the peace with impunity and both
are doing it.
General denunciations of corruption in
office do no good, but when specific wrongs
are committed all citizens should unite in
opposing them.
The only difference between the train
robber and the anarchist is that one tries
to stop the car of progress and the other
the progress of the car.
If the leaders of the American Bimetal-
lie Union are wise they will let that third
party movement go off and flock together
with the third-term scheme.
The Atlanta Exposition will show the
South many reasons why her people should
unite with the North and West in sup.
porting the protective tariff.
In bringing about dress-reform and
promising reform in country roads and
city streets, the bicycle may be truly called
the wheel of many revolutions.
If the fiesta in San Bernardino had anv
influence in prompting her people to offer
100000 for the Corbett and Fitzsimmons
fight, it is very good kind OF festival for
her to quit on and forget.
Since train-robbers have begun to throw
dynamite bombs at express-cars the best
way to deal with them would be to have
them brought up by Judge Lynch and sus-
pended from further activity.
Mayor Sutro was right in saying "this
is time for prompt action and not time
for the taxpayer to tamely submit until it
is too late and then grumblingly pay his
rate and lay the blame on other people,"
Flower festivals, fruit festivals, corn fes-
rivals, cotton festivals, and even water
melon festivals, are becoming common;
but just wait until old kentucky celebrates
her famous product with whisky festival.
The Irrigation Congress scored a good
point for the cause by calling attention to
the fact that in Massachusetts about so per
cent of the people are Iandless tenants,
while in irrigated Utah 90 per cent of the
families are landed proprietors.
There should be no apathy anywhere
concerning the project of bringing the next
Republican National Convention to this
City. There are many men of influence in
the East who will help US if we only show
sufficient energy in helping ourselves.
The stories from Denver of the crowds of
afflicted people thronging around man
who processes to be able to cure them by
the laying on of hands shows how little for
the general mass of men the age of sci
ence and public education differs from the
superstitions and barbarisms of the middle
ages.
Complaint is made that under the Michi-
gan game laws a resident of the State can
get license to shoot deer for so cents, but
citizens of other States must pay SIS. Per-
haps if all surrounding States would COM
bine to give the Michiganders a dose of
their own medicine they wouldn't be quite
so gamy as they are.
