There is growing conviction that Hop
kins never designed his big housefor an
art gallery.
The winter resorts of the Southern States
will be boasting hereafter OF their excellent
sleigh-riding.
In the popular mind the capitalist who
refuses 10 subscribe to the competing road
Is useless attache.
California wishes to see the statesmen of
the country and the statesmen should GER
iainly see California.
us not only true that the country can
get.along without an income tax, but it is
equally true thatit cannot get along with it.
The controversy between the reformers
and the city officials has now reached
point where local investigation is impera-
tive.
Being in favor of protection to the tax
payers of the State, we are opposed to
legislative attaches who are there for
revenue only.
So long as city extension in San Fran
cisco takes the form of building competing
railroads every section of the State is will
ing TO come in.
Every body will agree with Senator Hans
hrough that the next Republican National
Convention could not be held in more de-
hghtful place than San Francisco.
"
Many of the attaches of the Legislature
who are at work now have been idle up to
this time, and have already received more
pay than their work viii be worth.
Impartial men will admit that if there is
sc much corruption in the city those who
have been: hunting it up should have
found some evidence to convict by this
time.
The surest way to attract the right kind
OF settlers is to carry out municipal i'm
provements that will make the city attrac-
tive to people who know what a city ought
to be.
The transcontinental journey so far from
being a disadvantage to San Francisco as
a National convention city, is an argument
in its favor that every statesman ought to
make.
Read our kilograms in regard to holding
the next Republican National Convention
in this city. Many of the leaders of the
party are already with Us and the rest are
looking our way.
1t is difficult even for a modest man to
read of the weather in the East without
feeling how much wiser he is than any
fool who would live there when he could
come to California.
Representative Burrows was correct in
saying thatif the Republican National Con-
vention were held in this city "the hospital
ity of Californians would make the dele
gates forget the Inconvenience of time and
distance
AS an Eastern exchange says the latest
thing in barber-shops is a musical-box
which the boss OF the establishment regu-
lates to suit the times, it appears that
shaving the public to the tune ''Sweet
Fiolets". must be very widespread fake.
The proposal to have the next Republi-
can National Convention meet in San Fran
cisco affords good opportunity for the
real leaders OF the party in every county
of the State to come forward and assist in
for the expected guests.
Since the genial Tom Reed says, eff
wonderful country, beautiful city,
generous welcome and boundless hospi-
tally could annihilate time and distance,
San Francisco would be without rival or
peer, it,should be our duty to show him
that they can do it and Will.

The CALL. We not only favor but urge
and demand the fullest investigation of
every alleged evil in the city. We desire
a scrutiny into local affairs as cold as
chilled steel, as penetrating as steam
drill, and we demand moreover that the
officials who are paid to do this work shall
be made to do it.
AS it is the aim Of THE CALL to give all
the news of the day and all matters of cur
rent interest in form condensed and &C.
curate, so that it can be read easily, we
regret that we are forced this morning to
publish more pages than are usual in our
Sunday edition. The pressure of adver-
Using coming in late has compelled the
extension. 1t is not due to any lack of
care in classifying the news and general
reading matter, and, despite the increase
of bulk, the patrons of THE CALL viii find
it as free from fakes and padding as ever.
1t is evident beyond all controversy that
some at any rate of the affairs of this city
need investigation and need it from the
people of San Francisco. Take the mid
night raid of the railway company on
Church street for example The City At
torney has rendered an opinion that the
company had no right to put its rails there
and yet the Street Superintendent permits
them to remain because he has received no
notification from the Supervisors. If an
ordinary man had obstructed the street
there would have been plenty of authority
10 haul him off; but when gross outrage is
committed by grasping corporation
every official waits for another official to do
something. This is one of the things that
would largely justify another indignation
Tssting.
