VARIOUS POLITICAL MATTERS

The political campaign of 1896 was OPEN
ed in the west at Madison, Wis, yesterday
In the presence Of 5000 people Senator
John NJ. Thurston of Nebraska and CIar-
ence s. Darrow of Chicago for two and a
half hours presented the respective sides of
the currency question. Each talked for an
hour and a quarter. Senator Thurston said
in part:
My countrymen, there is a disturbance
In the political world over the question of
money. There have been disturbances in
the political world in years gone by over
other questions. We are meeting new
issue today, SO far as a presidential can
Vass is concerned, and yet / look the
forces over / find that arrayed upon one
side is the same old stalwart patriotism, is
the same security of accomplished efforts
which has stood upon the statute books of
the United States for the last thirty years,
Tor that wonderful measure of prosperity
and advancement which has come in all
its fullness and all it's wonder to the people
alone of the United States.
Il say to you today, in all sincerity and
candor, believing it to be legitimate ar
gument, and knowing that it is entirely
appropriate to say that If 1 had no other
guide to light me onward in the right path
of my political duty, it seems to me that
justice and honor to my country would be

and 1t is a solemn fact, that from the be-

SINGLE TAKERS IN JAIL.
Many Others Willing to Suffer for the
Right of Free Speech.


A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Dover. Del, says: Fifteen up-to-date
martyrs are in jail at Dover. They are ad-
vocates of the Henry George theory Of sin
gle tax. Their enthusiasm for the cause
has led them to speak from one end of Del
aware to the other. Recently the Dover
authorities have taken it into their heads
that this speaking was a violation Of an old
municipal ordinance which was unearthed
by some one opposed to the single-tax doc
trine. This ordinance is as follows:
'1t shall be the duty Of the president of
the council, the councilmen, the constable
the town constables to suppress all riotous,
turbulent, disorderly or noisy assemblages
or gatherings Of persons in the streets,
within the limits of said town, and for this
purpose 1t shall be the duty of any of the
said constables forthwith to arrest any

what the people want is right: it cannot be

The democratic national platform, adopt
cd at Chicago, as certified by the official
stenographer E. b. Dickinson, contains
clause In the money plank, which, accord
ing TO Senator Jones, chairman of the

"single-taxers cannot consistently with
their principles be opposed to woman
suffrage.
ANY one who compre hends and accepts
the fundamental doctrines of the single
tax philosophy must recognize the right
OF women to vote. And as matter OF fact
believe all single-taxers are woman
suffragists, or i'll apter phrase, equal
suffragists
when a single-taxer is asked if he be-
lieves in giving women the right to vote,
he says it is not question of right. He
recognizes the truth that every woman
who has attained her majority has as
much right to vote as he has. Let us stop
depriving her of the right.
"Hair-splitting distinctions between
natural and artificial rights are wholly un-
profitable and begging the question. She
is bound to obey the laws equally with
man; she is equally interested with him
in the welfare of society, which is insured
by good laws; and she is compelled 90 bear
equally with him the calamities and mise
ries that follow in the train of bad laws.
"The singIe-taxers of California take a
deep and earnest interest in the progress
of the movement in favor of the equal
suffrage amendment. and will, believe,
to man vote for it election day.
"All the Single-taXers of my acquaint-
ance are greatly delighted with the noble
stand taken by THE CALL on this ques-
tion."
The San Francisco call., 1896-05-07

Guided the morning session, contained a
mum Der of suggestions of great interest to
the diocese. The need of cathedral was
especially dwelt on. Bishop Nichols urged
some immediate steps being taken toward
securing one. "a cathedral organization
should interpret the best interplay of cleri-
cal and lay functions in our American
church life, and find right adjustment to
noble work fol Christ's poor and Christ 8
rich. A cathedral building should be
typical of the best architectural genius
and OF the conservation of outpoured
riches for its cost.
There. may be approaches to the
cathedral idea, especially from the side oi
its missionary agencies, and / would
recommend that the Bishop and standing
committee be designated as permanent
committee, 10 consider the matter of a
cathedral and report from time to time
anything bearing upon it, with power to
take any steps toward it that in their
Judgment NAV seem WISE" In the after.
noon this hint was acted upon, for, upon
motion of Rev. DIR. Foute, the matter of
taking steps toward securing a cathedral
at some future date was referred to the
Bishop and the standing committee for
future action.
Other matters touched upon in the
Bishops address were the need of a clergy
retreat and of an archdeacon for mission
ary work. tribute was paid to the gen.
erosity of the late George w. Gibbs, and
the suggestion was made that the question
of arranging division of the funded en-
dowments between this diocese and that
of Los Angeles be left for adjustment to
the special committee which had already
been acting.
The afternoon session opened with the
consideration OF the reports presented by
the committee to arrange for an equable
division of the trust funds of the two do
ceses of Los Angeles and California.
Before the reports were discussed Henry
E. Highton made a motion that the
division of the funds, between the two
dioceses, be referred to the finance COM
mittee, consisting of w. B. Hooper, D. NJ.

last evening at Union Square Hall before

upon Exploring the Atmosphere" he
illustrated his lecture with excellent
stereopticon views OF the different phases

stated that with q number of the Malay
kites flown in tandem an aluminium ther-
mograph weighing two pounds had been
kept at an elevation of 1000 feet for two
hours and it registered a much higher air
temperature than that at the g.ound.
On the subject of clouds he spoke in
turn of the fracto-nimbus thunder cloud /:

cooled below the freezing point and not
frozen. snowflake or ice-crystal falling into

Just as we see ice needles dart in all directions

turbed. We liken this monstrous cloud to a
huge gun loaded and quiet, but with trigger
SO del1cately set that a falling snowflake would
discharge it. From an electrical standpoint

MongOIfans Take the Places OF White

At meeting of the GLACIERS last evening
several grievances were laid before the
union by its members. One report was
that two large sash factories are employ
ing Cinnamon to do their glazing in pre-
fererce to white men. Another report
was that contractor employed China
man TO do the glazing work on a new
building. The unions delegates to the
Building Trades Council were instructed
to Law the matter before that body for in
vestigation and action. Efforts will be
made to unionize all the shops in the City.
Several new members were initiated.
At the meeting OF the local American
Railway Union last evening the following
officers were installed: President, G. w.

BOOT H-TUCKER'S KISSES.
They Were Laid on His Con-
valescent Wife's Lips
in Public.
Arrival on This Coast of the New
Commander of the American
Salvation Army.

Booth-Tucker, commander of the Ameri-
can forces of the Salvation Army, successor
to Ballington Booth, walked upon the
stage at Metropolitan Temple last night
shortly after 10 o'clock and kissed his wife,
whose illness had called him across the
continent. II was not as warm kiss
either as the audience expected and the
commander Immediately turned and
apologized, laughingly of course, saying
that he had been separated from her for
three weeks, which was awful; that he was
glad of the circumstances that had given
him an excuse for getting away from New
York and making the run out here to Join
her.
He then turned and said, Chow are you,
my darling2" and she smiled and nodded,
indicating that she was as we'll as she
looked to be. The audience applauded.
Then be turned and resumed, or rather
began a fifteen minute Salvation Army
address.
1t was not what the audience expected.
Metropolitan Temple was crowded and
the services for two hours had been in the
nature of a curtain raiser preliminary to
the arrival of the commander, who was ex-
pected not later than 80.
His train was tardy and the consul, his
wife, i'll, as she was compelled to speak
twice. Brigadier Keppel employed great
deal of time recovering shortage in the
collection; baby was dedicated to the
cause by the consul under the united flags
of the army and the United States in
very pretty ceremony; Major Lewis
made a most effective address; Major
Malan, the singer, followed-and the
audience all the time waiting for the COM
man6er to come and greet his sick wife.
And when be came he apologized for
kissing her-which he did not do with half
the fervor which the audience, trained to
blood and fire ideas, absolute sincerity and
disregard for appearances in the face of
any number of people, expected him to do.
Booth-Tucker, however, has winning,
smiling face of evident sincerity and earn
estness He is above so in appearance;
thin, gray-haired, but full of active vital
ity.
He came directly from the train and
came up on the stage, as he said, ''lust as /
am, without one plea" He made no refer
ence in his talk to the affairs of the army,
except to say that he had told the general
he wished some other had been made
commander here; but having been ordered
to this post he expected greater victories
than ever before. He had taken out nat
uralization papers and expected to be the
next best citizen of the United States to
the consul, who would be the best.
Tomorrow afternoon he will meet the
Auxiliary Army at o'clock; tomorrow
evening another and the last public meet
ing of the series will be held in Metropolitan
Temple and Friday morning he will meet
with the officers of the army-to the ex-
clusion of others-and talk of army af-
fairs.

Within the next few days the brewery

point where decisive action must be taken
by all parties interested The workmen
demand a recognition of their union. and
the trouble over this point has dragged
along over four years. Since Joseph
Walters has been in the position of secre-
tary he has worked hard to bring about an
amicable settlement with the boss brewers.
but so far without any perceptible results.
The matter has now gone into the hands
of the San Francisco Trades Council. and
yesterday the executive committee of that
body met with the executive COMMITTEES of
the union. A special committee of three
consisting of Thurman, Macarthur and
Walters, was appointed to visit every boss
brewer and learn from him his attitude
toward the union. Those who express
themselves favorable to the union will be
called upon to declare themselves, and
declaration of sentiment will be required
of those against. If the difficulty can be
settled all well and good, but if not the
committee will start the fight by declaring
boycott upon one of the breweries where
a workingman's boycott will do the most
harm.
