VICTORY IN SIGHT.

The success of the movement to bring
the Republican National Convention to
this City seems we'll nigh assured. 1t is
possible, of course, that conditions NAV
change before the National Committee
meets, but at present the outlook is dis
tinctly favorable to us. In fact no other
City seems to find sufficient support to be
considered a rival. Pittsburg hasn't suf
ficient hotel accommodations, Chicago has
few friends on the National Committee.
and hardly any other city seems to be con-
sidered as serious contestant for the
place.
The only obstacle that opposes our sue
cess, apparently, is Eastern ignorance of
the advantages we have to offer as a con-
yention city. This ignorance we must
overcome, and there is but little time to
do the work. 1t behooves every earnest
citizen, therefore, to be prompt in making
his contribution to the convention fund in
order that there may be no delay over
that part of the work. Promptness and
vigor are essential now. The management
of the contest is in the hands of COM
petent men, well deserving the fullest sup
port of the people, and they should receive
it from every man who has sufficient
ability to give any help at all. Now is the
time to impress the East with the way
that California does things, and to make
an impression we must strike at once.

THE ART EXHIBIT.

The Art Institute exhibit at the Hopkins
Gallery will rightly engage large part OF
the attention of ali artistic and cultured
people in the City from this time until the
closing night. In the natural order of our
growth and development these exhibits
should improve with the years, and it is
not too much to expect that the present
one will, in the opinion of competent
judges, De accounted at the close to have
been more successful as well as more
worthy of success than any that has pre-
ceded it.
Conspicuous in the exhibit will be works
by some OF the most noted of the old mas
ters and long famous in the world of art.
Along with them will be paintings by our
own young artists, full of the freshness
and earnest aspirations of youth. In both
of these classes of pictures right lovers of
art will find sources OF enjoyment. In the
one there will be the satisfaction of study
ing great accomplishments and in the
other the delight of seeing earnest efforts
directed to noble objects.
1t is to be hoped the number of those
who will visit the gallery sufficiently
often to profit by study of the pictures
will be larger than has attended ANY
other exhibit. AS the numbers of our
artists increase and the excellence Of their
work advances there should be an increas-
ing and advancing art culture among our
people generally. We have not great GAL
leries of masterpieces open to the public
all the year round through which con-
tinuous influence can be exerted upon our
culture, but from the occasional exhibi-
tions we have there is much to be gained
both of instruction and entertainment if
we choose to profit by them. Something OF
civic pride, moreover, should be asso-
ciated in the public mind with the Art
Institute, and all should do what they can
to make each successive exhibit more sue
cesSful than the last.

AN ORIGINAL REPUBLICAN.

To the Editor Of the San Francisco CaH-s1R:
In your issue of the 7th inst. appears an
article headed "He Organized the Party"
which is an account of an interview with q
Mr.. ]. c. Lewis of Pittsburg, Pa. Mr.. Lewis, no
doubt, was one of the organizers OF the Re-
publican party in Pennsylvania, but think
he was in error in stating that the first Repub-
hcan convention was held in Pittsburg in
1856, inasmuch as the party had already been
organized two years
| believe it is generally admitted and also
stated by no less authority than the late
vice-President Wilson, in his "reminiscences of
the party published some years ago in the
New York Independent, that the birthplace of
the Republican party as an organization is
Jackson, Mich, where its first convention was
held in 1854 and the first Republican State
ticket was nominated
Hon. Kinsley s. Bingham was elected that
TALL the first Republican Governor, since which
tlme Michigan has had but one chief ruler, I
beneve. not Republican, that one being
elected by fusion of Democrats and Green
hackers. Even then Republican Lieutenant
Go7ernor was elected, paraleling the result of
the election last fall in that State.
In view of the above facts Pittsburgs claim

A QUESTION OF OBsTINAOY.

Commenting upon the statements of GER
tain Republican leaders that the Repub-
lican majority in Congress would pass a
revenue bill providing for duties upon
wool and lumber and throw upon Cleve-
land the responsibility of rejecting it and
borrowing money to carry on the Govern
ment, the E1a,aiaer of yesterday said:
" 1t appears from these statements that
the Republican policy is TO do nothing
toward enabling the Government to pay
its way, if the revenues continue to fall be-
low the expenses, but to adopt as a delib.
crate policy what has hitherto been dis
tasteful makeshift-the practice OF bor-
rowing money in time OF peace. The Re-
publican politicians know that they can
not secure the consent of the President to
the imposition of protective duties, but
instead of patriotically agreeing to dis
agree on that disputed point, laying it
aside until they get President of their
own, and adopting such temporary meas
ures of relief as are not at issue between
the parties, they deliberately invite a dead
lock in order to throw the responsibility
for failure upon the Democratic Execu-
tive"
This complaint is amusing. The Erant-
iner has doubtless heard of the irate jury
man who denounced the eleven obstinate
men who would not agree with him, and
it seeks to rival his fame by denouncing
the whole people of the United States for
voting for protection instead of agreeing
with Cleveland. 1t would certainly be a
bad thing to have deadlock this winter
and another bond issue, but must every
body give way to Grover and the Eramiaers

JUROR sMYTH,s CASE.
THE STOCKTON "MAII" LECTURES THE SAN
FRANCISCO "ExAsINER."
Stockton Mail


FRANCISCO "ExAMNER."
Stockton Mail.
The question whether Horace Smyth, a Dur
rant juror, visited Emmanuel Church alone
during the progress of the trial in search OF
evidence in the case has occupied the attention
OF the San Francisco newspapers the last two
or three days. The belief that he had done so
was based upon a statement alleged TO have
been made by the juror to an Examiner re-
porter. IT correctly reported Mr.. smyth ssic:
'I was out in the church myself and examined
into the matter to satisfy my mind" The mat
ter about which the conscience OF the juror
was to be informed was whether 1t was possible
for the prisoner to examine all the burners,
clean with card the tips, light and rel1ght
them, turn the button off and on, walk the
length of the church twice, walk across the
rafters, descend heavy ladder and remove IL
within three minutes, the time occupied by
George King in playing the piano Juror
could not have been done in so short a time,
and he did not, therefore, believe Durrants
testimony. AS there had been no evidence on
this point introduced until after the case for
the prosecution was closed. Juror Smyth'S
alleged statement that he had examined into
the matter himself out in the church to satisfy
his mind would imply that his visit and eX-
animation had occurred long after the official
visit TO the church of the twelve jurymen. The
admission, II true, was so extraordinary and or
such serious Importance to the people ana 10
the prisoner that on Monday last we called
attention in these columns to its significance;
full week after Juror Smyth's statement mad
been made public the San Francisco papers
woke up 10 the fact that it possibly embodied
one of the most sensational and momentous
developments in this celebrated case.
The Examiner on Saturday last made sem
sation out OF this six days old disclosure, put
without giving any credit to the Mail. The
CALL which has set an example of decency
and honorable dealing in newspaper methods
10 its City contemporaries, not only gave this
journal full credit in the premises, but in adj
dition showed that Juror Smyth had been
misrepresented and that he had never made
any statement of the character imputed to
him. Editor Shortridge followed the matter
up the following day by producing denial in
writing from Juror Smyth that he had ever
been in Emmanuel Church but once, and that
was when the jury was taken there with Judge
and counsel.
AS though to cover its retreat from very
disreputable position the Examiner not only
Yesterday published Juror Smyth's denial,
but also letter from lawyer to the effect
that were it true Smyth had gone, out to the
church on an independent hunt Tor evidence
his lndiscretion would be of no avail to Dur
rant in securing for him reversal OF the Yer-
dict of guilty.

PRAYERFuL CONSIDERATION.

To the Editor Of The San Francisco CaU-SIR: :
''The ladies-foImerly our superiors, now our

eWorthy of prayerful consideration
There's volume in these words. When q

lie benefits How few there are that consider
the re possibility of such privilege. Physi-

see the beauties in it. A woman must feel the
double responsibility OF voting herself and
teaching her children how. First she should
read Judges xiii: l9fYr
"And now therefore beware, I pray thee, and
drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not
any unclean thing"
Then while bestowing nutriment to the nurs-
ing babe she must keep herself informed on
the topics of the day. The children should be
sent to school, where they will not only learn
the three RS. but also the three ps-purity,
principle and politeness-to be taught the
true instincts of noble manhood and woman
hood. OF course we must take organization
into consideration and treat all accordingly.
woman can be just as treacnerons as a

your friend wants you 10 vote Tor certain
candidate. Then your honest convictions
must choose one who has been born and
brought up to be just, upright and not given
to deceit.
revolution is sudden change in anything,
as in governmental, or social, or other condl-
tions. The suffrage question is an evolution,
slow but sure growth from the necessity of
cleansing the world from corruption. This
is why 1t is worthy of prayerful consideration

has published what is intended to be JUS
tifcation of the Armenian atrocities,
namely the plotting and se6itious prac-
tices of these people and their refusal to
pay taxes.
1t will make very little difference in the
end whether the combined movement of
the powers will have for its ostensible OBJ
ject the protection of oppressed and har-
assed Christians or the protection OF hu-
man life against atrocious slaughter But
it would be unwise if religious bias should
be made the ground. The question of hui
manity would be sufficiently broad to
cover the case It would be better for CIV
iliZed Europe to adopt such policy as
would make it easy for the world to be-
ieve that Christian Europe would be as
ready to protect Moslems as Christians
from such persecution.
Such combined interference in Turkish
affairs has been practiced once before, and
it is pity that Turkey has forgotten the
fearful lesson it learned then. 1t all
means that Turkey is an anaehronism and
eyesore, and that sooner or later 1t must
fall and be dismembered. 1t is the one
nation closely in touch with the interests
of Europe that can never be a part of Eu-
rope. 1t is as distinct as China from the
civilized world, and 1t can never contribute
to the forces nor share the triumphs OF
civilization. There can be found nothing
in the comfy of nations or the hopes and
aims of civilization which would prevent
Europe from regarding Turkey as barrier
to the progress Of humanity and proper
object for determination.
Nothing short of that would reduce the
force of the menace which its presence
represents. It's subjugation and joint
protectorate of the nations would be only
temporary expedient. The time was,
and continued down to recent years at
that, when the Ottoman Empire served as
q buffer for the international hatreds of
Europe, but that time has passed. Like
China, it has stood still while the world
has gone forward, and but grudgingly
shares the commerce of the Christendom
which it despises. It's people are as exclu-
sive as til ose Of the Chinese Empire, and
centuries of experience have demonstrated
the impossibility of/bringing it in har-
mony with the concerns of mankind at
large. Europe can look upon the exclu-
siveness of China with amusement and
composure, but when shouldered by it so
intimately and contemptuously as it is in
the case of Turkey ii cannot bear It for
ever,
