FORGED TO THE FRONT.

We are glad to see the manner in which
the San Francisco CALL has forged to the
front under the management of Mr.. Short
ridge. 1t is now the leading paper on the
coast, ana the most reliable. Its increas-
ing circulation compelled additional press
facilities, and it has lately added the larg-
plant. It's news service, too, is of the best,
anC the CALL can now be classed among
the great papers of the world. Winters

"cALL" AND THE LOTTERIES.

The San Francisco CALL some time since
inaugurated war on the lotteries that in
fest the country, and now has the satisfac-
ton of beginning to see the fruits of its
labors. 1t is stated on good authority that
the receipts of the lottery companies in
San Francisco are rapidly falling off as a
result of THE CALLS efforts. Good for THE
CALL! 1t is about time that instead of be-
ing mere weathercocks the newspapers
become in fact what they have always
claimed to be-the real leaders of public sem
tIment.-Los Gatos Mail.
The San Francisco call., 1895-07-20
THE TIME Is PAST.

There was time when newspaper men
thought morning paper could not get the
news without buying it from the Asso-
ciated Press. In fact that association
could-and did-squeeze the life out of
rebellious newspapers. To-day things are
different. THE CALL recently left the Asso-
ciated Press and went over TO The United
Press, and its full and interesting news
reports show the wisdom of the move.
THE CALL is certainly very complete
newspaper and deserving of its increasing
popularity Criterion.
The San Francisco call., 1895-07-20
ONE OF THE BEST.

The San Francisco CALL has swung into
line, and is now taking The United Press
service, which the Morning Union has
been receiving since February 1. The CALL
is one of the best newspapers in the United
States or the world, for that matter
Tacoma (Wash.) Union.

Suing for His Share.

Dietrich Poll has begun suit to compel his
partner, R. A. Gilbride, to render an account
ing of the earnings of the coasting schooner
Christina Steffens from September /, 1891.
The schooner, which is commanded by Captain
Peter G. Rasmussen, is engaged in the wood
carrying trade, and Poll says he has received
none of the profits for four years.
The San Francisco call., 1895-07-20
AT THE VERY HEAD.

The San Francisco CALL. since its pur-
chase by Charles NJ. Shortridge, has
steadily and rapidly improved, and to-day
stands at the very head of the papers of
the coast, in fact, is one of the best papers
in the Union. 1t is clean, free from sensa-
tionalism, most ably edited, honest, fear
less and independent. 1t has completely
revolutionized journalism Ill San Fran
cisco, and its contemporaries in that City
will have to bestir themselves to keep from
being distanced Ventura Free Press,

IT'S SUCCESS CONSPICUOUS.

The San francisco CALL, lately pur-
chased by Charles NJ. Shortridge of the
San Jose Mercury, for $500, 900, has presses
with capacity of SO, 900 eight-page papers
an hour, and is the principal patron of The
United Press on the coast. Its success is
conspicuous among all coast papers,
Whatcom (Wash.) Reveille.
The San Francisco call., 1895-07-20
TWO STEPS FORWARD.

The San Francisco CALL, under its new
management, has taken TWO additional
steps in the direction of sending better
service to its subscribers. One is the ac-
quirement of new press and the other Is
a broader and better telegraphic service.
THE CALL is bound to take prominent
place in the front ranks of Pacific Coast
iournalism.-East Los Angeles News.
The San Francisco call., 1895-07-20
THE VOICE oF "THE CALL."

The bright thoughts and epigrammatic
sentences of the San Francisco CALL are
quoted along with those of the brightest
journals of the country. The voice of THE
CALL is coming to be heard in the West,
and right proud may we be of so strong a
representative-San Jaclnto Searchlight.
The San Francisco call., 1895-07-20
A FoRCIBLE COMPARISON.

The San Francisco CALL has added
new Hoe quadruple perfecting printing
press to its pressrooms. 1t has the capac-
ity to print, paste and fold 1000 four-page
papers in one hour. 1t would take 1886
hours to print that many on the press used
by the Express.-Vernal (Utah) Express.
The San Francisco call., 1895-07-20
THE CALL" OUR FRIEND.

The CALL ought to be commended upon
its good judgment TO discuss the immense
undeveloped resources of Humboldt Coun-
ty. 1t is also booming up" the Sequoia
carnival, which will take place in Eureka
next month.-Blue Lake Advocate.
The San Francisco call., 1895-07-20
RIGHT ON IT'S SIDE.

The San Francisco CALL has inaugurated
a crusade against the alleged frauds OF the
Supervisors. THE CALL has the right on
its side and if it succeeds in arousing pub
lie feeling from its present apathy there is
every prospect that the Supervisors will re, re,
ceive lesson, the effects of which will
serve as warning to future legislators

"THE CALLS" WORK.

An absolute new era has been usbered in
In San Francisco journalism. All who re-
member the studied way in which one
great journal ignored the others and all
connected Herewith recognized this fact
when they read yesterday THE Calls CON-
mendation OF Mr.. Hearst for sending one
OF his employees to New York to be treated
for a cancer.-Alameda Argus. .

trating its newsboys, giving pictures of
them, together with their names. The
weakness of seeing oneself pictured in a
big newspaper extends IL the way down

us annual meeting of the stockholders of the

WILL EARN GRATITUDE.

If THE CALL succeeds in the task of bring
ing the Solid Eight of the San Francisco
Supervisors to justice, upon which it has
entered, it will be entitled to the gratitude
of every honest citizen of that City. 1t is
a work that is sorely needed.-Fresno Re
publican.

MANY KIND EXPRESSIONS
The Press of the Coast Re-
views the Call'S
Work.
ITS POLICY IS COMMENDED
General Approval of the Crusade
Against the Lotteries Is
Manifested.

The press of the State, with re markable
unanimity, finds nothing but commenda-
tory words for THE CALL. Some of the
recent kind comments are reproduced.

A LENGTH AHEAD.

The San Francisco CALL, with its new
Hoe press and the complete news service
of the United Press Association, is full

A SPLENDID FIGHT.

Is senseless. THE CALL has made splen-

MUST SAW WOOD.
An Unexpected Offer of Work o q
Husband Who Would Not Pay
AIimony.

W. II. Seaton was before Judge Hunt
yesterday to plead to his delinquency in
not paying his wife SIS month alimony.
Seaton said that he was brother-in-law
of c. P. Huntington, but that his infuen-
tial relative would not give him any work
to do.
E. NJ. Morgan, counsel for Mrs. Seaton.
came to the rescue. He said he was will.
ing to hire the penniless spouse of his
client and pay him So a day, provided he
paid his earnings over to his wife. The
court thought this an excellent idea, and
Seaton thought the attorneys offer par
ticularly magnanimous, but much of the
beauty of the plan faded when he asked
what the work was.
Saving wood in a woodward" an
swered Morgan.
Seaton's face fell, and he proceeded to
inform the court that he had done no work
for number of months, and that saving
wood was little too violent to begin with.
He was finally induced to visit the yard
and report to the court next week his
progress toward greater wealth.

THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW.
Contractor Mcdonald Is Charged With
Working His Men Ten Hours
the Streets.

There is little friction between the State
Labor Bureau and President John W. Nc
Donald of the City Street Improvement
Company. Mr.. Mcdonald has a large force
of men employed in street work, and indi-
vldual complaints have been received at
the bureau that men were compelled to
work ten hours on STRENGTHENING.
Deputy Labor Commissioner c. L. Dam
proceeded yesterday to investigate. He
saw Contractor Mcdonald and the latter
explained to him that the men were work
ing on a per-hour basis and were suffering
no hardship without being paid for it cor
respondingly; that the length of time
they worked was matter entirely of their
own choice.
Some time ago Attorney General Fitz-
gerald was asked for an individual opinion
on the eight-hour question, and Labor
Commissioner Fitzgerald is waiting for it.
The Acknowledgement has been so busy
lately with the railroad grain-rate suits
and other matters that he has not had
time. he says, to give the matter proper at
tention. Some time ago the question was
raised relative to street work in Oakland as
to whether the eight-hour law applied to
municipalities as well as counties. The
Attorney-Genera's opinion was that it
does.
The Labor Commissioner says he is de-
termined to have the eight-hour law en-
forced. By its provisions no man can be
compelled to labor on public work for over
eight hours per day. The theory of the
labor organizations is that when a man
works longer than eight hours be dis
places, or rather, takes the place, of some
man in need of work.
The complaints to the Labor Bureau ac-
cuse Mr.. Mcdonald of working his men
ten hours for eight hours pay.

THE NEW GUNBOATS.
Material for Their Construction Or
dered by the Union Iron
Works.

That clause in the treaty between the
United States and Great Britain which
prohibits either power from building ships
of war or maintaining naval stations on
the great lakes rebounds to the benefit of
San Francisco. Two gunboats which
would have gone to Detroit as a lower
bidder than San Francisco will by indi-
rect operation of the treaty be constructed
by the Union Iron Works.
Last evening George w. Prescott SAID
that the work of building the boats would
begin without delay. He said the material
for their construction had already been
ordered an1 shipments would soon follow.
The tullding of the gunboats will en-
able the Union Iron Works to increase its
force of employees, ana In many ways San
Francisco will secure benefits.
Regarding the probability of orders
from Japan, Mr.. Prescott said no definite
intelligence had been received from that
country He observed that England
would handle the indemnity which China
was required to pay Japan, and conse-
quently British influence would be eX-
erted TO secure contraction ship-building.
In Japan there was agitation in favor of
building warships at home, so that he
could not say that the outlook for
japanese orders was very promising.
From sources outside of the Union Iron
works 1t is learned that all the articles in
the American newspapers containing
criticism or comment on the new navy of
the United States are marked and filed in
the Naval Construction Bureau OF the
Japanese Government. Agents of British
shlp-bulIdlng firms take especial care to
see that all the comments on slow cruisers
ana detective armor plate are brought to-
the attention OF the Japanese.

BENSON TO BE TRIED.
The Ex-United States Surveyor Must
Answer to an Indictment Brought
Ten Years Ago.

John A. Benson, the ex- United States
Surveyor, who was indicted by the United
States Grand Jury some ten years ago for
defrauding the Government by fraudulent
returns of surveys for which he drew COM
pensation without performing the labor
claimed, will have to stand trial after all
AT the time of the Indictment Benson's
attorney got out writ of habeas corpus,
returnable before Judge Hanford, and so
convinced that jurist that the document
was defective that Benson was released.
The United States Attorneys appealed
the case and yesterday the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals decided that
Judge Hanford's ruling was erroneous and
that Benson must be tried.
1t is not believed that the ex-Surveyor
can be convicted, for many of the witnesses
against him have left the State, others are
dead, and the present United States At
torneys have much less evidence against
the accused than their pred ecessors. t
