Waco, Tex, Sept. l7.-Captain
Joseph W. Taylor, county attorney Of
McLeman county, has laid before the
grand jury the constitution, bylaws,
list Of officers and socretary's and
treasurer's report of an association of
negroes organized for the purpose of
stealing cattle and horses. While
the rolls do not show any names Of
white men, there is evidence in pos
session of the county attorney that
the cattle stealing syndicate was, to
some extent, under the control OF
whites. The thieves had monthly
meetings at rendezvous and at least
once declared dividends. This is
shown by the report Of the treasurer,
Their operations have been extensive
and the losses. though extended Ovel
wide territory, are large. 1t is prob
able that in some cases they shipped
stolen cattle in carload lots.

Phillipsburg. Kans., Sept. 1.-THE
case of Peter Hansen against the
Ward Irrigation company has been
concluded by the jury bringing in a
verdict for 81 in favor Of Hansen.
Hansen sued for $1,000 damages for
tine diversion Of the water from his
mill by the Ward company of Logan.
The case was really a test case and
was hacked by the miller's associa-
tion Of northwest Kansas. The RICH.
Of about twenty-five miles was involv.
ed, the value Of which amounted to
about $4,000. The case was on trial
for week and attracted much atten'
tion throughout all northwestern
Kansas. The Ward Irrigation COM
pany will doubtless take the case tC
the supreme court. The Hansen mill
is located on the North Solomon
river at Logan.

URBAN TRANSPORTATION.

New York has just learned lesson in
the matter of street railway transportation
that has been as surprising TO it as it
should be instructive to the other cities of
the country. II IS that since the lumber
ing horsecars were changed into first.class
cable and electric roads the business of the
elevated roads has fallen off prodigiously
Thus the Manhattan elevated lines during
the year ending June 80 last lacked
l5,0oo,OOO of carrying as many passengers
as during the preceding year, while the
competing Third-avenue surface roads car
ried l3,6o0,0O0 more, and the Metropolitan
Traction 100000 more, and these two
surface roads carried nearly as many pas
sengers as the elevated lines. As result
shares In the elevated roads have tum bled,
and applicants for franchises for surface
roads are eagerly bidding against one
another for the privilege.

steam railway was both crudity and an

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
THE MONEY QUESTION.

OUTLINE OF A PLATFORM FOR A UNION OF
SILVER MEN
TO the Editor of the San Francisco CdlI-SIR:
AS a contribution toward the solution of the
money question 1 send you an outline of pro-
posed platform for q union of all the silver
forces OF the country.
l. The restoration of silver to free and un-
limited coinage at the old ratio of Is to L with
out reference to the action OF other nations.
2. The abolition of all existing bank currency
and the issuance of all paper money by the
government, under genuine National bank
ing system, such money to be based on the
same basis as that of Government bonds), and
to be q full legal tender for all debts, public
and private, and not to be redeemed in any
other money, the volume to be limited by law
as experience shall dictate, probably to $50
per capita.
3. Greenbaeks and all other forms of Govern
ment currency to be retired and replaced in
circulation by the new National money, the
hundred millions in gold now held as a reserve
Tor the redemption OF gTeenbacks to be there
upon applied in extinguishment of Govern
ment bonds.
4. Postal savings banks to be established for
the security OF the peoples savings, to provide
Tor loans and facilitate exchange.
B. Loans to be made by the Government di-
rect to the people on safe and sound securities
at tax not to exceed per cent per annum
tor any period of time up to twenty years.
6. All Populist Prohibition, Single Tax and
other reform measures of importance to be
submitted to a direct vote of the people
through the Initiative and Referendum, to the
end that this may become in fact as in theory
government of the people, by the people, for
the people, by direct legislation in National.
State and local affairs, as by this method of
lawmaking any issue of any party may be
enacted into law as soon as the people are pre-
pared for it.
Expressed in dozen words this Union plat
form would read as follows: For free coinage
of silver, q genuine National banking system
and direct legislation.
As some such platform is almost certain to
be adopted in the campaign of 1896 by the
Populists, Prohibitionists and the reform
forces in labor organizations, fee quite sure
that Republicans and Democrats viii be likely
to consider it of some Importance. will only
add tor those who have not paid close atten-
ton to this matter that such union of the re-
form forces can hardly fail to carry the coun-
try in the Presidential election next year.

" THE SUNDAY CALL"

Full of good reading for all classes of
people, bright, breezy and interesting will
be The SUNDAY CALL of tomorrow. The
special features viii be of even more than
usual excellence and variety and in the
aggregate will form literary miscellany
well adapted to the entertainment of the
leisure hours of the day of rest.
An article sure to attract wide attention
and well worthy of general reading is
William Greer Harrison s reply to recent
attack upon him, in an article on The
Degeneracy of Ambrose Bierce." Joaquin
Miller answers the question, "What Is
This California Mirage?" by giving in
delightful essay a poetic analysis of the
illusions and apparitions of the desert,
while the inimitable Sam Davis mar
rates ga Startling Reminiscence OF Edwin
Booth.''
Persons of social tastes and interests
will find both entertainment and informa-
ton in Edward NJ. Greenway's explana-
ton, "Why Society Will Be Gay" and
literary people will find delight in W. G.
Morrows talk, Concerning Bohemians."
John E. Richards contributes an exquisite
little poem on Carmel Bay" Mary
Calkins Johnson describes "Merican
Boys Start IN Life" Rose O'Halloran
furnishes "a Brief Historical Review of
Astronomical Photography" and, under
the title "a Star in the West" charm
ing description is given of the home life of
Elizabeth K. Tompkins, author of "Her
Majesty" while the regular departments
of THE SUNDAY CALL, including book ye-
views, fashions for men and women, in
Childhood's Realm, Random Notes, etc.,
will be found as usual full of interest and
instruction.
The news features of THE CALL are espe-
cially noteworthy, inasmuch as THE CALL
is the only morning paper in San Fran
cisco that receives the United Press dis
patches, being the same service as that
employed by the great dailies of New
York City--the Sun, Herald, Tribune and
World. This gives The CALL unique value
as newspaper, for whatever other paper
may be taken one must always read THE
CALL to get all the news. THE CALL is for
sale wherever newspapers are sold, but
there Is always an extra demand for the
Sunday paper and to make sure of getting
1t orders should be LETT for it to-day.

ANOTHER BOULEVARD.

1t Is pleasing to read that the wide
awake residents of the Richmond district
are preparing to make First avenue, from
the Preside to the park, g handsome
boulevard. This is encouraging, especially
in view of the fact that nothing has been
said lately of the San Francisco and San
Jose boulevard, and that the Folsom-stree
enterprise has been temporarily stopped
by the lack OF municipal appropriation.
Meanwhile the extension of Van Ness
avenue is being steadily pushed toward its
foot at the channel; and although the paw
ing has been checked by a protest, the
work is bound to be completed in time.
The First-avenue proposition, when de-
cided upon finally, will be pushed through
promptly, as the property-owners in that
section are among the most progressive in
town. The plan under consideration con-
templates a bituminous pavement and a
row of trees lining either side of the street.
This improvement would be an important
link in series of splendid drives commu-
nicating with each other. Thus, Van Ness
avenue, some street running westward
from it to the Presidio, the fine drives of
the Presidio ITSELF First avenue and the
park would constitute one continuous
driveway of exceptional excellence. The
military authorities are doing more than
the City toward that accomplishment.
The suggestion of trees on First avenue
is alluring. San Francisco is deplorablv
deficient In this admirable adornment,
there being prevalent ill-informed idea
that trees obscure the sunlight, and are
hence Objectionable. Some trees do, and
they are the kind most used. Among them
is the eucalyptus, which for street use is
plague. Handsome deciduous trees
would be exceedingly valuable and would
not interfere with sunlight in the winter.
Besides being grateful adornment they
would have benefcent effect in reducing
the annoyance caused by the winds and
dust of summer. That is to say. their
dense summer foliage and their denuded
winter condition would accomplish ex-
actly the desired results in both seasons,
besides adding greatly to the charm of the
City.
observation-disclosures of Van Ness avenue
could be much increased by the planting
of the right kinds of deciduous trees along

outrage. Apart from its incalculable
damage to private property and the
public highways it involved the necessity
OF climbing stairs and of wide apart
stations. A vast improvement on them is
the underground road, and while this plan
works no public or private damage it still
has the disadvantage of stairs and the. dis
comfort of darkness. Surface roads,
properly managed, are the most convenient
and satisfactory, but they present so many
peculiar dangers that it is high duty of
municipalities and mechanical engineers
to make their improvement a special study.
Their present form, however great its i'm
provement on the omnibus and the horse
car, is anything but satisfactory, and is
long way from perfection.

THE GREAT CONVENTION.

The reports and speeches made Thurs
day evening at the meeting of the Union
League Club committee appointed to work
for San Francisco as the place for holding
the next Republican National Convention
were most encouraging. The main facts
developed were that a larger number of
members of the Republican National Com
mittee are in favor of San Francisco than
of any other city, and that the only objec-
tions are on the score of distance and ex-
pense and from Eastern newspapers. The
last objection should not be considered for
a moment. Yielding to this pressure
would bring the party no benefit and
ignoring it would bring no harm. THE
CALL has already shown that there are
ample telegraphic facilities, both for the
press and the delegates.
The cost of transportation could be re-
duced to q comfortable figure by the CO.
operation Of the railroad companies and
the people of the West. As the companies
have very great interest in the matter
they might in all reason make the desired
concessions. If they do not it would be
unwise and niggardly for the people to
withhold assistance.
The benefits both to the party and the
country from holding the convention here
would be manifold and valuable. They
have been fully discussed in these columns
and are known to the intelligent men of
the West. 1t is now question of insist
ing on them untiringly, of uniting all the
coast forces in the work without particu-
lar regard to party, and of raising money
for expenses. The Republicans in all the
region west of the Rocky Mountains may
be depended on to do their part, but the
question is far broader than that of party.
So far as this State and the West at
large are concerned this should not be re-
garded as matter of politics at ALL For
that reason the working forces of other
political parties could consistently unite
with the Republicans in this important
undertaking. But if it should be thought
by the Democrats, for instance, that the
holding of a Republican convention here
would strengthen that party in the West
they could consistently work with the
Republicans to that end on an understand
ing that the Republicans would assist
them in a fight to secure the Demo
cratic National Convention for San Fran
cisco. 1t would be wiser, broader and
more patriotic not to regard the political
phase OF the subject, or, if SO, to reflect
that the substantial benefits which the
West would receive would be greater than
the political benefits which the Republi-
cans may secure.

CROWDED THEATERs.

SAN FRANCISCO, October IA, 1895.
To the Editor of the San Francisco Catl-SIR:
1 attended performance at the Baldwin a
week ago, and had a seat in the gallery. The
house was crowded-that is, every seat was
occupied, and even the aisles held q goodly
number, so many, in fact that looking over
the sea of heads it seemed a solid mass with no
aisle visible. What the result would be in case
OF fire or simple stampede the Imagination
alone can depict
Again, at the Columbia, saw the same con-
dition of things az recent performance, the
passages leading to the front of the gallery
being completely blocked. What existed in
the other portions of the house I could not say
but 1t did not appear to be so badly blocked as
in the places referred to.
Why patrons of the gallery should not re-
celye the same protection as those in the
hlgher-priced seats puzzles me, and if there is
q law which prohibits placing chairs in the
aisles or otherwise blockading them during
performances, it should be put in effect. 1t is
hazardous piece of business to sit with the
gods but it should not be made more so by the
thoughtlessness of managers who crowd every
available inch of space, at the perils of hun
dreds of lives. HOMO.

G|BSON'S DRAWINGS.
Decorative Effect Of
Pen and Ink Sketches.

The original drawings of Gibson,
Sterner, Renouard and most of other
pen and ink artists are in immense
favor, but hard TO obtain.
The demands of this new fad must
be satisfied, and mum berless artists and
amateurs have been obliged to copy IL
lustrations of the masters or create
new cartoons.
For surprises, jokes and gifts, these
cartoons are very suitable and in ex-
cellent taste.
Prompt to realize the strength of the
new craze and its peculiar require
ments, we have sought everywhere,
here and IN Europe, the best, the latest
materials for framing these delightful
bits.
Mats of colors, passe-partouts of deli
cate tlnts were first secured-gray, ma
room, sage green and sepia, some forty
colors in all.
Moldings. which for shape, color
and finish have been declared cup to
date" by popular artists, have been
made specially or imported. Warm
mahogany. delicate maple, severe oak
are the best, they say, and we have
them all in great variety of shapes,
sizes, colors, to suit the most exacting.
A great collection of holdings has
been added to our already large stock
Green and gold, the latest fancy, is
well represented. In fact all that is
new, that is the latest in artistic franz
ing of pictures, is to be found here at
our usually popular prices.
