ALTGELD'S RED FLAG.

1t is to he hoped that Altgeld will fail of
his purpose to begin and conclude the
business of the Chicago convention in one
day by gagging his opponents. No poiiti-
cal party furnishes precedent for such
action. The people of this country abhor
the gag" and their contempt for those
who would use it is boundless. Political
and religious differences are laid aside
when an attempt is made to apply the
gag" and as one man the people rise in
protest against it. The gag is the weapon
of the coward and the assassin, and only
he who Is conspiring to deprive others of
their rights ever attempts 10 use it. The
right of free speech and a fair hearing is a
fundamental principle OF this Government,
and Americans everywhere are to-day cell
ebrating the one hundred and twentieth
anniversary OF the roofing and grounding
OF that right in the hearts OF the people.
and without reference to party affiliation
the demand comes that there shall be fair
play in the Chicago convention.
Governor Altgeld is the leader in the
move to gag all who are opposed to certain
party declarations, and his methods are
the methods of the anarchist. As Gov
ernor OF Illinois he may pardon the ene-
mics of law and order when they are con-
victed. That is matter between himself
and the people of his State, but when he
undertakes to gag representatives from
every State who are in Chicago at the
bidding of their constituents, he should
know that he is under the condemnation
of every liberty-loving man, woman and
child in all this broad land. Mr.. Altgeld
should know that the people Of the United
States are not ready to substitute anarch-
ism for republicanism; that they are not
ready to remove George Washington from
their hearts to make room for Herr Most,
and that they are not ready to furl the
stars and stripes and unfurl the red flag of
arson, murder and plumber.
1t is not now question of ''silver crank"
or "goldbug" supremacy in the Chicago
convention. so far as the general public is
concerned, but it is question OF right
and justice. The people have not forgotten
that the men for whom Altgeld opened the
doors of the penitentiary that they might
resume their warfare upon society repre-
sented in the Haymarket riots the same
principles OF government that Altgeld is

THE SUNDAY GALL.

The particular feature of tomorrow
issue OF THE CALL will be the thrilling and
fascinating story of the raising of the
stars and stripes at Monterey just fifty
years ago next Tuesday. In this latter
day the narrative of that critical event in
the history of California reads more like a
romance than the mere recital of histori-
cal data. Three of the men who were
present at that memorable event, and they
are among the very few living eye-wit-
nesses, tell the story in their own lam
guage. 1t is story full Of living, human
interest, and one that no person will care
to miss reading. The narrative has been
faithfully and handsomely illustrated.
Aside from this there will be the usual
and many new and novel features in THE
CALL tomorrow. 1t will be, as ever, dis
tinctively California newspaper, in fact
THE Sunday newspaper of the State.

M'LEAN's FEARS.

John X. Mclean, the Ohio Democ.
racy's fayorite son and whom it will
boom for the nomination at Chicago, ex-
presses fears that the goldbugs will buy
up enough silver delegates to give them
control of the convention. If Mr.. Nc
Leans fears are well founded most in
teresting state of affairs will be presented
Will the payments be made in "sound"
dollars or in "50-cent" dollars? Accord
ing to the views hitherto expressed by the
silyerites who will sell their votes silver
should have the largest possible field of
circulation and gold should not be re-
garded with SO much distinction as Wall
street has given to it. On the other hand
the goldbugs would not stoop to transact
business with silver. A middleman, it
would appear, would be needed to con-
vert the goldbugs yellow metal into white
metal before the transaction could be con-
summated. This gold-silver complication
comes at bad time for the good of peace
and harmony.
But is not Mr.. Mclean little rash in
announcing = or the equivalent of an
nouncing-that the silver delegates are for

WHITNEY's OPINION.

Mr.. Whitney thinks he sees something
III the troubles of the Democracy this wear
which remind him of the predicament il
got itself into in 1860. Whether he sees it
or not 1t is there, and. moreover if he will
examine the cause and the effect of his
party's stupidity in 1860 he will be able to
see that the people are getting ready to
again bury it for long term of years.
For twenty-four years the people KEEP. the
Democratic party in limbo. Then they
permitted it to elect one of its members
President, and eight years later the entire
affairs of the Government were given into
its hands. Mr.. w hitney knows very well
what the consequences were of that foolish
act of the people, and if he would lay aside
his partisan judgment and analyze the
situation with his practical, common busi-
ness sense, no doubt he would quickly
agree with the people that the business
interests of the country demand the ret
burial of his party for good and all.
1t is true, notwithstanding the incom-
potency OF the Cleveland administration.
that the Democracy counts some of the
best men in the country among its dis
ciples, and were they in charge of the
party's affairs a very different showing
would be made. Mr.. Whitney himself re-
CARDS the present tariff law as an mex
cusable party blunder. In fact, he op-
posed it on the ground that 1t left interests
at the mercy OF low-wage competition
which should have protection, and upon
other issues he has not been in harmony
with his party for some years. But there
are thousands of other Democrats who
are not in sympathy with the Altgeld-
Bland-Tillman kind of Democracy, and
after they have battled to the last in the
Chicago convention for the Democracy of
Jefferson and Jackson they will cast their
political associations with Republicans.
There would be nothing strange in that,
for the Republican party was founded by
Wings and Democrats, and there have been
many notable accessions from the ranks
OF the Democracy. Grant, Stanton, Sheri-
dan and Logan were Democrats until they
saw that the policy of the Republican
party was better suited to unfold and de-
velop the wealth sources of the country.
Mr.. Whitney will be quite welcome when
he concludes to come where he properly
belongs,

AT YERBA BUENA FIFTY-SEVEN
YEARS AGO.

The first celebration of the Fourth of July at
Yerby Buena was in 1889, the families of all
the prominent residents being invited to the
festivities which were under the management
of the Americans attached to the three or four
American vessels lying in the harbor.
The celebration was held at the residence of
Jacob P. Luse, situated at point which is now
on Dupont street, between Washington and
Clay. The invitations extended to the persons
living about the bay were very generally ae-
cepted.
Among the most notable persons present
were Don Joaquin Estudillo, with his beauti-
fal wife and lovely daughter; Don Ignacio Mar
tinez, with his four handsome daughters; Cap
tain William Richardson of Sausalito, his wife
and daughter, who was one of the bellies of the
country; Don Victor Castro and his amiable
wife; the Sub-Prefect Don Francisco G uerrero
and his pretty wife; Alcalde Don Francisco de
Raro, with his charming daughters.
Salutes were fred from the vessels at noon
of the 4th. A grand dinner took place durin 6
the evening, followed by ball which was
kept up till dawn of the next day.

THE NATIONS BIRTH.

Upon olympian heights in solemn state,
Three censors stood, whose eyes were all aglow,
And these were History and Time and Fate,
watching the nations On the plain below.
There flowed the stream of ages. and it ran
O'er silent sands with wrecks of empire strewn {:
Where ruin marked the handiwork of man,
And cities crumbled in the dust alone.
Upon the left mist hung in the air
"canst TELL" asked Time, "what rests beneath
the haze ?''
And History shook her head s'I do not dare
To solve the secrets OF creations days"
There rose the pyramids from out the plains
To tell OF Egypt's glory and decay;
Where the dumb Sphinx with eye Of cold disdain
raced forty centuries of Times delay.
And in the glare Of the remorseless sun
There bleached the bones OF long forgotten hosts,
On fields where hate and pride the conquest won,
10 make nations tyrannies their boast
Where the rude sword was master OF the law,
Holding its right in undisputed lease;
Where victors glutted with the spoils OF war,
Disdained to use the perfect gifts Of Peace.
Thus mighty kingdoms tottered to heir fall;
The work OF ages shattered in a day,
Because the blinded builders of the wall
Discarded marble to make room for clay.

And those who fell beneath its tattered folds,
F1re-scathed and battle-scarred, are with us now;
For with the flight of those unshackled souls
A touch immortal pressed the martyrs brow
Then ceased the clash of conflict, and the chain
That bound the limbs OF valor was undone;
Men reared to Liberty lasting fame,
And Peace looked down upon conquest won
Then the broad land knew plenty and contents
The swift loom hummed, the CHEEKY anvil rung;
In other ciimes the ear of Hope was bent
To catch the stirring strains which Freedom sung.
To-day a smile illumes the face Of Fate,
The pen of History records us free,
And Time looks on this glorified estate

While Peace shall live. and w ar no longer frown:

Placer Argus.

We are glad to notice that the San Francisco
CALL is not too metropolitan or cold-blooded
to run the Republican National candidates at
the head of its editorial page. There is quite
a class of journalism, especially in the larger
dom and iciness that has led to sidetracking
this frank old expression of political prefer
ence. The journals of this class like to be con.
sidered nominally Republican, or nomfnally
Democratic. We remember, just slightly, the
times and conditions of New York during the
so-ealled albany regency" While the Cros-
wells were conducting the Albany Argus and
Thurlow Weed was conducting the Albany
Journal their readers did not have to read a
column of editorials TO find out where they
were. At the heads of their columns were the
candidates of their choice, and their Demo-
cratic and Wing preferences were too plain to
require microscopic inyes tigation. Show your
