NO EVASION.

From every portion of the East come re-
ports which make it clear that the busi-
ness men and the workingmen of the great
populous States of the Union intend to
settle the tariff question in this campaign
and to settle it on the side of complete
protection to American industry. They
will not permit any other issue TO defect
them from their determination to re-es-
tablish industry, to revive trade and pro-
vide work for the factories, profits for cap
ital, wages for workingmen, and peace.
plenty and prosperity in every home in
the land.
This determination on the part of the
people of the great States of the East is not
unwisely taken. We can well understand
it and sympathize with it in California.
The majority of the people of this State
are in favor of free silver coinage and many
of them are willing to venture upon it
| without waiting for international agree
ment. It is well understood, however, by
the intelligent workers and business men
of this State that the pressing need is
that of tariff revision in the direction of
work and wages. We can wait for the
| settlement of the money question, but
| capital cannot wait for profits, labor can
not wait for wages. the home cannot wait
for an income. We must restore prosper
ity at once.
The Democratic tariff brought upon the
country a financial panic and an indus
trial depression that closed mills, shops
and factories, threw thousands of men out
| of employment, destroyed the trade of
merchants and the markets of farmers and
carried distress in greater or less degree
into the home of every wageworker in the
country. After doing all this the Demo-
Gratis are still unsstisfied. They demand
an even further reduction of the tariff in
the direction of free trade. In fact they
could not stand still if they wish, for the
existing tariff does not yield a revenue
equal to the needs of the Government. 1t
must be altered in some way, and out Of
that condition of things comes the issue
whether we shall leave the reconstruction
Of the tariff to the free-traders or to the
friends of American industry and the
American home.
The Democratic party will attempt to
evade this issue which itself has raised.
1t will do all that its leaders can devise to
dodge the record of wreck and disaster it
has brought upon the industries of the
country. 1t will seek alliances with Popu-
lists in the rural districts or with Social
lists in the cities-eve1 with anarchists
in order to get votes to make up for those
it has lost among the business men and
workingmen of the country. The people,
however, cannot permit themselves to be
deceived by these evasions. The issues
are too great. The whole welfare of the
Republic is at stake. We must hold De-
mocracy to its record and make it answer.
We must postpone everything until it is
settled whether or not we are to have
American industry and American wages
to maintain the American home against
| the world.

such arrangements as Mr.. Blaine had for
himself in 1884. At ali way stations Mr..
Blaine would make three or five minute
talk from the car platform, and at the
principal towns he would leave the car and
occupy stand near by which had already
been erected. In some towns these stands
were the joint property of the two parties
and they were left standing until the cam
paign was over. General Logan soon
afterward adopted the same plan, and he
done" Ohio and West Virginia largely
from car platform.
BY having special train with dining
and sleeping cars an immense territory
can be covered in a day. Mr.. Blaine had
reception car attached to his train. and
at every station voters would crowd it full
and 60 with him to the next stopping
place. By this means the train was never
without fresh ''yelling crowd'' TO give
the proper send in as well as send out OF
every town. On the whole it is q good
way to conduct campaign if the people
are determined to see the man for whom
they intend to vote. In this connection
THE CALL would suggest to Mr.. Mckinley
that when he gets his train under way he
keep right on until he reaches San Fran

ALTGELDIsM PREVAILS.

1t is not because the advocates of the
free coinage of silver captured the Demo-
cratic National Convention yesterday
that m axes the political situation alarm
ing. but because of the personnel of the
new leaders. 1t should be easy enough
for the most politically blind man in Cali
fornia to see that Altgeldism dominates
the Democratic party OF the whole coun-
try.
Politically speaking it matters little
what the Democratic convention has done
or may do, for the people would not trust
its candidates in any event, but 1t does
matter q good deal when great political
party can be made machine OF to crush
the liberties of the people. Altgeld
Company boldly set up the standard of
anarchism for the rule and guide of the
Democratic party, and no matter who the
nominees for President and Vice-President
may be they cannot separate their person.
atty from the revolutionary purpose of
the anarchist who conferred the nomina-
tions upon them
The Democratic party will now stand
not only for unrestrained license in indi-
vidual conduct, but for absolute free trade
and wide-open immigration. Under the
leadership of such man as Altgeld the
party's recruiting ground would be the
alleys and illiterate quarters of foreign
cities, and the importation of foreign
cheap labor TO crowd out Repub blican
wage-earners would be necessary part of
his programme TO rebuild the Democratic
party on lines to his liking. The wonder
is that he could gather enough strength to
commit such an outrage upon party right
and party traditions. OF course all decent
Democrats will refuse to be bound by such
proceedings, but the disgrace of such q
scene as was witnessed yesterday will re.
main.
1t is to be hoped that there are none so
blind they cannot see that the free silver
coinage cry OF the convention is merely a
mask for the real purpose, which is free
trade in all kinds OF manufactured articles
as well as all kinds of raw material. Ait
geldism, which is now nymous with
Democracy, is the champion of the iu-
| come-tax theory of raising revenue to supA
port the Government and that, too, in the
face Of the fact that the United States Su-
preme Court has declared it to be uncon-
stitutional to tax the people that way.
But Altgeldism cares nothing for court de-
! cisions, nor for laws that are antagonistic
to his kind of Democracy, giving full ex-
preston to its meaning. 1t is better so.
however. A less open and defiant attitude
toward our institutions might have
failed to arouse the people to the danger to
their best good which lies in the folds of
! the work of the Chicago convention.

ART IN CHINESE EYES,

Thought Likely to Swell
Heads"
A. F. Mathews Appointed Chairman
Of the Faculty-An Earlier =
Fall Term.

The next term of the School Of Design of
the San Francisco Art Association will
open at the Mark Hopkins Institute
August 1. The opening is fifteen days
earlier this year than formerly so as to
give holiday vacation from December 1
to January l. Inquiries already made and
the applications filed indicate good en-
rollment of pupils for the term.
The trustees have decided to establish a
night class, and it is practically settled
that John Stanton will be assigned to the
duty of teaching the class.
No additions to the corps Of teachers are
announced. The staff of instructors will
remain about the same as it was during
the last term. The trustees determined
however, to make one of the teachers the
chief instructor, so Arthur +. Mathews
was appointed chairman of the faculty.
He will be held responsible for the man
agement of the school.
The board will expect him to maintain
discipline, holding him responsible for
any failure in this respect. He will have
general supervision of the classes and will
make such recommendations to the board.
through the school committee, as may be
deemed necessary to carry out the details
of instruction. The trustees during the
last term ascertained that the plan of
placing all the teachers on an equal foot
ing, so far as the exercise of governing
authority was concerned, did not work to
the satisfaction of the board.
Since the present administration went
into Office the mem bership of the associa-
tion has increased slightly. The mum Der
of new members elected has more than
offset the losses by resignation and re-
moval.
The number of visitors at the institute
last Friday the July free day, did not ex-
ceed 1900. 1t was observed that the num-
ber OF Chinese was about 200. Among the
Monaghan visitors were many women.
One Chinaman bought a catalogue. He
was highly delighted with the institute
and told Joe Mason, who sold him the
catalogue, that the house was good for the
head-"make it grow big.'

stationery and other printed matter for
the carnival. a number of these will be
utilized in the decorations, badges ana
rosettes to add variety to these features.
Samples of carnival buttons have been
submitted by local manufacturer. They
are very finely executed and will be treas
ured as mementos of the carnival, not
only from associa ton but from their own
intrinsic merit. Two qualities will prob
ably be put upon the market-one at %
cents and the other at lesser figure. The
sale of these buttons will form one source
of revenue for the carnival.

HOBART ACCEPTS.

In his reply TO the committee appointed
by the st. Louis convention TO notify him
of his nomination for Vice. President yes
terday, Mr.. G. A. Hobart left no room for
doubt as to his position with reference to
the leading economic issues of the day.
He said that after a careful study of the
operation of protection for thirty years in
great industrial State, he was persuaded
that the maintenance of proper schedule
of import duties is of paramount import
ance to producer and consumer. In his
opinion whatever is calculated to open and
keep open our workshops should be
adopted without hesitation, and, on the
other hand, whatever is calculated to dis
courage American enterprise should be
avoided at all times.
Mr.. Hobart pointed out how the present
tariff had enforced idleness upon so many
workingmen and how that class could not
be deprived of opportunity to earn money
without seriously iniuring every other
factor in the Nations material life. He
favors whatever degree of protection our
industries may need to prevent nurtful
competition from countries that produce
at less cost because of the low wages they
pay their workmen. He would have our
farmers find market at home for their
breadstuffs and provisions. and as far as
| possible make America independent of
other countries; but upon such articles as
We need to have and which it does not pay
us to manufacture or produce mis- plan
would be to exact such custom-house
| charges as would provide for the necessary
expenses of maintaining the Government.
1t is evident that Mr.. Hobart has very
clear understanding of what the United
States needs to make this country the
leading industrial and agricultural Ma
ton upon a basis that shall be per-
manent. In fact one could not read
his reply to the notification COM
mittee without being impressed that
the words were spoken by man who is
thoroughly conversant with the science OF
economics. as well as of the practical
operation of Transforming raw material
into merchantable goods and wares. Mr..
Hobart did not have National reputation
as q statesman when he was nominated,
but his views as expressed yesterday to
the notification committee stamp him as
being wise political economist who has
gained his knowledge of the needs of the
country from wide experience and close
and careful observation. The Republican
National Convention made no mistake
when it nominated G. A. Hobart for Vice.

HOW TO CAMPAIGN.

Prior to 1860 it was considered gross
violation of political etiquette for Presi-
Dental candidate to come in contact with
the people. He was supposed to go into
retirement and there await the decision OF
the people as handed down through the
ballot-box. The people were to blame for
such an absurd rule, for it was they who
''hedged about" their candidates with q
kind of an atmosphere which was too good
for common folk to breathe. Still it gave
an Importance and dignity to the Office
of President which is not recognized SO
much in these degenerate days, but which
might be to the general good of the
country. The ruler as well as the prospec-
tive ruler of nation of 10000. 600 is no
ordinary man in the light of what such
Tulership means.
But the people are growing democratic
and they are also becoming curious to see
their candidates for high public Office face
TO face and hear them talk. Stephen A.
Douglas was the first to DEFY an old
established rule, and it was he who intro
duced the campaign method of candi-
dates for President going about the coun-
try making five-minute speeches from the
rear of a railway-car. The next to do
that sort Of thing was Greeley, then Gar
field, then Blaine. and the last was Harri-
son, in 1888. The people were more
curious than interested when they turned
out to hear Douglas, but the fashion has
grown in favor 80 much that q campaign
does not seem TO be properly rounded up
If the chief of the Presidential ticket has
not participated in the work of the hust-
ings.
In view OF the many precedents and oi
the clamoring of the people to see and
hear him talk no doubt Mr.. Mckinley
will go about good deal during the sum-
mer and fall. He already has invitations
enough to keep him going for year, but
most of them mean whole days visit.
Should he conclude to make an extensive
tour. no doubt he would have very much

LOVE IN TOWN.

They had no partings in the wood,
No meetings in the lonely lane;
Beside the sea they never stood,
Nor watched the sunset after rain.
Their pathway was the busy street,
Their trysting place the office stair:
And yet know iov more complete
Did never visit mortal pair.
And why should rustic love alone
Be decked with all poetic art?
These dull, gray city walks have known
The beating OF q nations heart.
The weary workers come and go,
The secret Of each soul is dumb,
Yet still at times q radiant glow
Across their way-worn lives may come.
And these, my happy lovers, knew
Herd toll, small wage, and humble fare;
The skies they saw we're never blue,
But love made glad ness every W here.

Was sweet to her as robins song;
Her face that passed the open door
For him made sunshine all day long.

quently inquiries were instituted by the
Consul, but it was only on Monday that
Schurig was discovered. He then called at
