Prosperous Breezes Blowing.

There is perhaps no better exhibition
of just recognition of merit which has
attended the San Francisco CALL since it
passed into the hands of Charles M. Short
ridge. Mr.. Shortridge's name is house
hold word in this valley. His tireless
energy and keen business foresight has
already worked a marvellous transforma-
ton in THE CALL. The latest announce
ment that it will be compelled to move
into larger quarters is another straw show
ing the strength of the financial breeze
that is blowing The CALL right out into
the open sea of prosperity. Continued
success 10 it.-Santa Clara Journal.

Nearly Double the Highest.

Perhaps by the close of 1895 the San
Francisco CALL will be installed in it's
fifteen-story marble palace at the corner of
Market and Third streets. When finished
it will be the grandest structure on the
Pacific Coast. The building will be 80
feet high, an elevation nearly double that
reached by the highest point of any other
building in San Francisco. THB CALL is
climbing up, and that's a fact.-Alameda

None Too Fine for the Paper.

A marble palace. 80 feet high, is to be
built for THE CALL by Claus Spreckels on
the corner of Third and Market streets,
San Francisco. While the new building
will be the finest IN the metropolis, it can
be none too fine for that really great news
paper. When Brother Shortridge gets in
his new home we country editors will
hardly know whether to call or not. If
we do we can brush the hayseed off on the
marble foors.-Healdsbur Enterprise.

Doing Yeoman Service.

The San Francisco CALL, which, in the
short time it has been conducted by Mr..
Shortridge, has leaped to the front of San
Francisco dailies, is soon to have the finest
building in San Francisco for its home.
The old traditions of poverty and sawdust
now, and the daily papers are the leading
aristocrats of the big cities. THE CALL de-
serves good home, for it is doing yeoman
service for the City and State, and much
to elevate the City press.-San Andreas

Guardian of Public Rights.

The San Francisco CALL has a new
home at the southwest corner of Mar
ket and Third streets. A house built
of steel and marble, towering 100feet above
the other tall buildings of the City and
treated with a skill that exhausts the re-
sources of architecture in strength, beauty
ahd convenience, will be the most con-
spicuous and ornamental feature of the
City.-Vancouver (Wash.) Columbian.

The San Francisco CALL. under its new

with accommodations in magnificent

by Claus Spreckeis. This will be one of
the greatest newspaper buildings in the

feeling proud of living in the best build

The San Francisco CALL is not content
with being the best daily on the coast, but

cent fifteen-story home for itself. It will
be the tallest building west of Chicago, and
steel and California marble will be the
chief construction materials. - Redands

located on the corner of Market and Third

Gently destroyed by fire, with serious loss
of life, was built by that intense and
earnest prohbitionist Edward c. Delevan
nearly fifty years ago, and was started
as a temperance house, says the Chicago
Times. 1t was not so large then by any
means as it was at the time of the fire, but
il had q wide reputation as a first-class
hotel. The builder Mr. Delevan, sincere

portunity to impress his views upon those
with whom he was brought in contact

he said to q well-knoHn local statesman
that prohibition would in the end work
a moral and social revolution and make
men contented, happy, and prosperous

where nearly 1900 men are at work every
day, receiving no wages, asking none,

that Mr.. Delavan persistently refused to

Springfield Class) Republican dnd)

1t is undoubtedly true that the first and
possibly the second bond issues would not
have been necessary had the government
all the while been supplied with abund-
ant revenues. But insufficient revenue
cannot be made to account for the present
emergency, and the republican leaders in
congress are all wrong when they say
that additional taxes will meet the whole
difficulty. The present trouble is a run
on the gold reserYes-an inability to keep
up the gold balance as distinct from the
general currency balance. The treasury
to-day holds net cash balance above the
ample to meet any possible deficit until
the sugar duties and income tax begin to
yield the expected return. DO ex-Speaker

II Is hard matter to tell whether the
cause Of whiskers is advancing or retro
grading. During the last few years-at
least since PETER has been in the Senate.
a good deal Of ridleule has been directed

rect attacks have been made. too: princi-
paiy by New York. Boston and Philadel-
phia society folks. who demanded that
their coachmen ana the walters in the
swell hotels should be beardless. Last
week, furthermore. the Boston and AL
bany railroad issued a ukase to the effect
that every conductor and brakeman in its
employ should shave at least once every
tWenty-four hours. The Boston and Al
bany win kindly permit the men to shave
themselves, and not prescribe the barber
shop TO be patronized or the
brand OF soap to be used. This
concession is appreciated by the

whiskers they please; conductors, brake
