The San Francisco call., 1895-12-03

DAVID NJ. FOLTZ, Special Agent.
THE CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
Get your eyes on the horse show and see
the biggest thing in town.
1t seems that the followers of blind
boss think the world can see nothing.
Cleveland's message will be long, but the
average citizen will find it easy to skip.
The Congressman who first gets on to
the funding bill with both feet will stand
high.
Democracy can never get the floor in
this City again until it ceases to be out of !
order.
As long as the Populists hold the bal
ance of power the Senate will be a teter-
board.
The poolroom is one of the things tha |
shouldn't be permitted to run and yet be |
made to go.
As matter of business the horse show |
is pretty strong convention to promote |
road improvem ent.
According to tradition the Garden of |
Eden was located in Armenia, but it is the !
devils own country now.
Tom Reed need not fret if ne cannot sat
isfy everybody. Even divine providence
has never succeeded in doing that.
The deficit and the gold exports are two |
horns OF one dilemma and Cleveland has
managed TO get himself stuck on both.
Just as soon as they get through with a |
political campaign in Boston they all begin
to talk of some kid of Andover heresy
they keep on tap.
The bicycle may not be a healthier
means of recreation than the fishing-boat,
but Tom Reed certainly feels better than
Grover Cleveland.
In the concert of European powers at
Constantinople it seems to be Kaiser Will !
liam who is welding the baton and max |
ing the band play low.
AS Kaiser William objects to redressing |
Turkey at this time on the ground that it |
would be inopportune, he is probably look
ing forward to Christmas.
The reports now coming from all de- |
partments of the administration are heavy |
enough, but they sound as if the tidal |
wave had wet the powder.
Tom Reeds speech seems to have been |
as satisfactory to Democrats as to Repub- |
icans, but anything that isn't kick salts |
ties Democracy in these days.
Schlatter the messiah seems to be !
nowhere, while Crowley the bandit seems
to be everywhere, and that is the way it is
with virtue and vice in this world.
1t Is now reported that Senator Hill |
rented big house in Washington because
he has habit of talking to himself and
doesn't wish people to overhear him.
As Arizona is to have National Guard
reorganization something like our own,
it seems that even in our troubles the
world looks to us as a model and not |
warning.
AS was expected Comptroller Eckels rec |
ommends the retirement of greenbacks, |
but the greenback is feature of Republi- |
can finance and it is the recommendation |
that will be retired.
The gavel presented to Speaker Reed |
bearing the inscription Protection and |
Bimetallism" you'd be a good one with !
which TO call the National Republican |
Convention to order.
The report of Secretary Herbert that our
navy is deficient in ships. men, guns and
docks is not bright picture for marine
view, but it is doubtless correct enough, as
most other people see it in the same light. |
1t is reported that Margaret Mather is to
get 100000 for allowing her husband 20 |
obtain a divorce without a contest, and |
considering the amount of stage advertis- |
ing she will lose by keeping quiet, the sum
is by no means excessive
Governor Altgeld declares the report that |
he refused to appear IN procession with |
United States troops at Atlanta to be an
unqualified falsehood, and certainly the
country will be glad to know that, however |
foolish some Governors are, none has been |
such fool as that.
Official reports show that the excess of |
imports over exports for the first ten |
months of this year was about $125, ,000, 900 |
greater than in the corresponding period |
last year, and this is another reason the |
people gave thanks that Democracy has
about reached the end OF its rope.
A recent publication by the State Depart |
nent on the "Highways of Commerce" |
estimates that at the beginning of 1893 !
tt ere were 4O6,34S miles of railway in the
world valued at $33 655, $40 900. In appor-
tianment by continents America stands !
fist, having at that time 218,S7l miles, or
1894 miles more than all the rest of the

Many influential papers in the East are
urging the ational com mlttees of both
parties to arrange for the Presidential con-
