RESULT OF EDUCATION.

Those Democrats who would seek to con.
sole themselves with the reflection that the
National issues involved in Mondays cleo
tons were obscured by local contests can
not be blind to the offensive conduct of the
Cleveland administration IN it's alliance
with bond syndicate organized to do for
the Government what the administration
proved itself unable to do = provide
money for carrying on the Government
and preserve the country's credit by
maintaining the gold reserve in the treas
ury. Nor can they deceive themselves
into believing that this was not the direct
result of the tariff scheme thrust upon the
country by their President and his CLIQUE
OF capitalists.
The San Jose Mercury shows the edu-
eating effect of experience on voters in the
manufacturing centers which have gone
SO overwhelmingly Republican 1t says:
"While local issues entered into the con-
tests in nearly every State, it is evident
from the nature of the returns that the
leading National issues of the day exer-
cised an overwhelming influence on the
result, which is q direct rebuke to the ad-
ministration and to the Democratic party.
Manufacturing States like New Jersey
and Massach dsetts, for example, have had
all the experience that they desire with
Democratic tariff. Since 1892 the in.
dustries in those States have very mate
rally declined. In 1893 the manu-
factural output in Massachusetts, was
valued at 1852 93S, 022; in 1894 it had been
reduced to $496, 144, STA, falling off of $685.
1913, 44S. The decrease of wages from 1898
TO 1894 was s11, 1892, S52. There are volumes
of argument in those figures, and the
manufacturers and wage-earners of Massa-
chusetts have good reason to comprehend
their significance and to appreciate their
force.
at is evident that the Republican tidal
wave of last year has not yet subsidized
Nor will it, until it has swept every vestige
of Democratic power into oblivion. The

THE GERMAN FESTIVAL.

II it is too much to expect that there is
in this community sufficient enllg htenment
to lead our people to desire the erection of
artistic statues to Goethe and Schiller with
noother motive than to do Just honor to
two great men, the intrinsic charms of the
festival which our German citizens have
opened at the Mechanics Pavilion in order
to raise money for that purpose should be
ample to assure the end desired. Itswould
be less interesting TO know how many San
Franciscans have studied these masters of
German literature than it is to realize that
this festival will at least serve the purpose
of inducing the people to dig in these
mines of literary gold. 1t will not only
accomplish that, but for readers better in
formed the festival will give tangible force
to the wonderful pictures which the
gorgeous imaginations of these great liter
airy artists conceived.
The splendid creations of Goethe and
Schiller belong not to the Germans, but,
like Shakespeare's, to the world. 1t is
eminently proper, however, that the move
ment for their honoring here in San Fran
cisco should be led by Germans. To an
educated American the works of Goethe
and Schiller are as precious as to the most
loyal German in the country, but, unlike
the Germans, Americans cannot have that
close personal sympathy of a common
blood which Germans most cherish
The work of these two masters discovers
in its richest and finest form the loftier,
more mystical, more elusive, more pro-
found, suggestive and analytical peculiari-
ties Of the Teutonic mind. Goethe was to
literature what Wagner was to music, and
Schiller was the poetical counterpart of
the composer Beethoven. German litera-
ture, music and philosophy have strange
qualities that stir within the breast of an
Intelligent student of our composite race
profound emotions that likely proceed
from the thin strain of blood and tempera-
ment that allies US to the people of the
fatherland. 1t is nobler, however, to re-
gard these effects as an evidence of the
universally which pervades the power of
German creations.
Without knowledge of these wonderful
products ones education lacks an anchor
age in those deeper things which lie con-
cealed beneath the dross and sordidness
OF life, and which, when thus called into
exercise, give view of life which other
wise can be but rarely acquired. The
Goethe-Schiller festival. beautiful and far
removed from the commonplace though
1t is, and possessing exquisite charms in it's
externals, has q far deeper value in its
educating and refining aspect and is
prompted by conspicuously praiseworthy
motive.

EVERYTHING HELPS.

The news from the Eastern elections will
undoub tedly spur the Republicans of Cali
fornia and the coast generally to increased
activity in the matter of bringing the Re-
publican National Convention to San
Francisco. These elections indicate a
strong probability that the Republicans
will be victorious in the Presidential cleo
ton next year and hence that the party in
power will be in position to give this re-
gion the attention it deserves.
AT the same time the intelligent Demo-
Gratis of the West, though they may feel
discouraged by the Eastern news, have a
stronger reason than ever for working with
the Republicans to bring the convention to
California. 1t gives US pleasure to believe
that intelligent Democrats are Democrats
because they believe that the principles of
that party, if intelligently applied, are the
best for the conduct of National affairs
that they are Democrats because they are
patriots. This is no place for an argument
on the merits of their faith. 1t is sufficient
merely to believe that as they are patriots
first and partisans next they will give their
patriotism exercise in the interesting con-
tingencV which has now arisen.
As there is very strong likelihood
of Republican National victory next
year the Democrats of the West
have now fairly good idea of the direc-
ton in which they must turn for National
assistance and relief 1t is important
above all things else that the West should
be studied and understood by the powers
which may control the Government; if
these powers happen to be Republican, well
and good. To the Republican party should
our hopes be turned, and to them should
be given the opportunity to acquire the
greatly needed information.
Ii the Republican National Convention
should come to California and thereby be
made to understand the benefits which
would accrue not only to the West but to
the whole Nation from a reasonable he'll
toward the development of our resources
the party will be placed under an implied
obligation to extend the needed recogni-
ton. In sense this obligation would be
assumed by the mere fact OF selecting this
place for the convention. We know the
value of such an obligation and would be
justified in basing strong hopes upon it.
And this knowledge and these hopes are
common to all persons of all political be-
liefs.
Let the fight now proceed with all the
vlgor that so virile people as ours can
display. Those having the management
OF the affair may be depended on to do
their full duty, but that fact will make it

WHY THE CHILDREN DIE.

To the Editor of the San Francisco Call-SIR:
In your issue of last Tuesday Rev. DR.. Gregory
is reported to have said that ''in the Children's
West Oakland Home 90 per cent OF the chill
dren die from neglect At first glance this
looks horrible, and it is undoubtedly due to an
incomplete report that such damaging sem
tence found its way into print, for it is highly
improbable that DR.. Gregory uttered such an
accusation lit is nothing less than that with
out further explanation. Which is this: In
regard to infants, some are left at the door,
where they are found in the morning chilled
often starving and unable to recuperate. Manv
OF these poor waits are afflicted with the germs
OF various ineradicable diseases to which they
fall victims. Some even older children are
taken away from inhuman parents, neglected.
in-treated, debilitated or starved-some times
too late to save their nves-and of those infants
and children who die fully so per cent die in

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Albany .IOnrnaI.

Now that there is considerable talk as to the
place for holding the next Republican National
Convention, why should it not be held in some
one of the Southern cities? There are many
reasons why the Republicans should look to
the South for sentiment and strength.
1t is not necessary to keep the Republican
conventions in the North. The Democratic
parry, although depending on the South for its
heretofore undivided support, has never held
convention in the South-St. Louis excepted
1860, when the party was split asunder on the
question OF slavery. Let the Republican party
be the first to go South with it's convention.
We do not doubt but that it will be welcomed
in any Southern city.
