same effect. The trouble is that each is
waiting for the other to do something.
They have been waiting for twenty years,
and meantime nation after nation has
adopted the gold standard or restricted
silver coinage.
Should this resolution pass the British
Parliament Congress could well afford to
discount its effect by passing a free silver
measure before adjournment. The impulse
so given to the cause of bimetallism would
carry it out of the slough of doubt to the
solid ground of certainty. A conference
would then be unnecessary, or merely use
full to settle some details and clinch an
international arrangement.
Should the resolution fail, there will be
no hope of action by the present Congress,
dominated by a hostile administration.
The next Congress will then have its work
cut out for it. Either by independent
action or international arrangement, in
conformity with Germanys proposition, it
can settle this matter regardless of Great
Britain. Bimetallism has prevailed for
nearly century without her countenance.

A GOOD APPOINTMENT.

1t is pleasing to note that adverse criti-
cisms upon the appointment of E. l..
Colnon to the office of Harbor Commits
sioner have been fewer and slighter than
usually follow the actions of Governor.
This is another sign that we are about to
enter upon an era of good feeling in poll
tics, as well as in business, and that the
practice of opposing, as matter of party
politics, whatever the other party does, is
for the present, at any rate, going out of
fashion.
There is indeed no just ground for adj
verse criticism in this case. Governor Budd
being Democrat, has naturally appointed
a Democrat to the Office, and no Republi-
can who believes in party government can
object to his action. Mr.. Colnon is per-
sonally unobjectionable, and Stockton has a
sufficiently close relation and important in
terest in the harbor to justify Governor
Budd IN selecting commissioner from
that place. Certainly San Francisco can
have nothing to urge against the action,

THE FAILURES OF COMMUNISM

The report reaches US that the Icarian
community of Iowa has at last concluded
to disband and divide the property among
the remaining members. Thus ends in fail
ure one of the most noted and long persisted
in efforts to prove communism practicable
which has been attempted in the United
States. 1t is nearly century since Cabel,
who had developed in France a scheme of
ideal living upon the communistic plan,
sought new land in which to put his
theories to the proof and with sixty-nine
devoted followers sailed from Havre for
Texas, there to establish his perfect social
state. They located in the Red River
country at first, but finding conditions
there unfavorable drifted northward into
Illinois and settled at Nauyoo The COM
munity was successful for a season,
but soon dissensions arose among its mem
| bers and its founder went off to ST. Louis,
where he died shortly after, disappointed
dreamer. The society then went westward
to Iowa and established the settlement of
Icaria. There, since the year 1885, they
| have struggled to make practical the ideas
of their founder, but all in vain. Every
now and then discussions invaded the or
ganization and caused ruptures and law
suits and financial losses until at last the
end has come and Icaria as communistic
experiment is no more.
Thus another of the many attempts to
devise a practical system of communal
life has ended in failure Thus will end
ultimately every dream of a social state in
the framework of which the errors and
frailties and weaknesses of human nature
! are lost sight of and the individualities of
men are not taken into account So re-
suited in failure the social theories of
| Baboeuf, Blanc, Fourier and st. Simon in
| France. So ended in disaster Brook Farm,
| the Oneida community and the other eff
forts to realize the extreme of socialism in
this country. So these experiments will
ever end. In spite of all philosophers to
the contrary, the secret of human progress
lies in the recognition of the personality of
men and in the offering of the widest field,
consistent with civil liberty, for the exer-
else of individual faculty, genius and am

SILVER'S CHANCES.

Next Tuesday resolution will be intro
duced in the British House of Commons
urging the Government to cooperate with
other nations in an international confer
ence for the purpose of rehabilitating sill
yer.
The manufacturing and commercial
classes of Great Britain have repeatedly
!Sithin the last few years declared in favor
of bimetallism. Her bond, stock and
mortgage holders have thus far been able
to defeat any proposed change in her
monetary policy. They hold in foreign
securities something like $4,000, 600 900.
They find their profit in gold monomet-
allism. The custom of about century
fortifies their position. Parliament pro-
hiblted the free coinage of silver in 1913,
since which time Great Britain has ad-
hered to the single gold standard
Germany has been under the gold stand
ard since 1873. 1t is an experiment which
has not proved satisfactory. The recent
vote of the Reichstag in favor of an inter
national conference to restore silver demon
strates that the Latin Union, the United
States, Latin America and other leading
commercial nations, with their various
monetary systems, all desire general re-
turn to bimetallism.
If either Great Britain or Germany
would adopt bimetallism, regardless of
international action the thing would be
done. II would force the hand of the
hostile or timid element of other nations.
Like action by the United States or the
Latin Union would undoubtedly have the

THE LOTTERY FAKE.

The CALL has made another departure that is
sure TO attract favorable attention to it. That
is the rejection of all lottery advertisements.
Like true reformer it is not going to embrace
the occasion to inveigh against the practice,
which is still followed by the other great, rich
dailies, and against lotteries in general, but is
just going TO quit the practice itself because it
is against good law and good morals. If the
CALL continues to hit the mark as it has of late
1t Will make rapid Observation-Disclosures Argus.
In rejecting all advertisements of lottery
companies the San Francisco CALL has taken
an important stand in favor of law good morals
and public policy. There is nothing like prac-
ticing what one is attempting to teach. This
is particularly demanded of newspaper. The
paper that breaches reform and decency in one
column and displays lottery, massage and other
equivocal announcements in another column
cannot expect TO command the respect OF its
| readers.-Alameda Telegram.
The CALL has made another radical departure
in Journalism, which will be appreciated by its
readers and the public generally. 1t an
nounced in its issue of yesterday that il will
henceforth refuse to publish the accounts of
lottery drawings and similar fake schemes,
and, in fact, flake" matter of any kind This
is certainly step in the right direction, and in
adhering to 1t the CALL Will make many friends
for itself throughout the State.-Santa Clara
Journal.
The CALL announces in its editorial columns
that it will no longer publish lottery advertise
ments or lists of winning numbers; that it will
not go into the coupon business in any form !;
but that 1t viii be-in every sense of the word
a newspaper. The improvement made in the
CALL shows that its editor is following along
reform lines and is determined TO give Califor-
mia clean, newsy and dignified metropolitan
daily-Watsonville Pajaronian.
The San Francisco CALL is giving its COM
petitors some good points on journalism.
Editor Shortridge kicked the book coupon
business into smithereens and now proposes
TO reject all lottery advertising in the interests
OF reform and good morals.-Alameda Tele-
gram.
The CALL under its new management has
ceased to advertise lotteries. 1t is a wide de-
parture from San Francisco journalism that
the CALL is taking. The question whether it
will pay financially will be decided by time and
the people OF the State.-Fresno Republican.
