NOT LIKE A BEANsTALK STORY

The Democratic State COMMITTEES is not
yet happy. The members of the commit
tee, led by young Mr.. Afford, the boy
manager of the boy orators cam paign in
California, are panied because the people
of California are not responding to the
appeal for campaign funds.
This want of slacrity in sending in
money is looked on as q lack of enthusi-
asm on the part of the people, for if the
people were really in earnest in their de-
sire to help along the election OF Mr..
Bryan, they would certainly put up
enough coin to keep the campaign COM
mittee's machinery in working order.
Undoubtedly these gentlemen of the
Democratic State Committee are right,
and their gloomy forebodings are well
founded. The people of the State are evil
IDENTIFY Indifferent to the pleadings of Mr..
Afford and his associates, nor has the eff

hcial enthusiasm proved to them suffi-
GENTLY satisfactory. By offering to dupli-
cate all the contributions of its subscrib-
ers the Examiner in about two weeks
time has realized but $2652 90 which
means that "the common people" to

exactly $1326 IS, which is not very good
financial showing for the alleged majority
predicted by the Democratic State Com
mittee.
In political affairs as well as in all other
matters it is an established fact that peo-
pie give as they vote and feel, and when
the people show such an absence of inter-
est in Mr.. Bryan's campaign it is clear
illustration of the truth that they are no
longer warm and strong in the faith.
The Republican State Committee, on
the contrary, is constantly in receipt of
support from the voters throughout the
State. They are enthusiastic for McKin-
ley and believe he will win.
This falling away in Democratic en-
thusiasm worries not only the Democratic
leaders but is extremely annoying to the
newspaper that started this popular"
subscription. 1t was at first expected that
this would be another case of "Jack and
the BeanstaIk," but so slow were the peo-
pie in coming forward that the campaign

Not Secure Pay From Faculty

Monday evening Governor Budd tele-
graphed to Sacramento requesting that
Levi Rackliffe, State Treasurer, and Lewis
III. Brown, Secretary of State, come imme-
diately to San francisco. Under the law
appropriating $250,000 to build for the
Affiliated Colleges these officers and the
Governor are bound to approve the ac-
cepted contracts for construction, More
over no changes or modification of plans
can be made without their assent. In re-
sponse to the Governors wire the Treas
urer and Secretary arrived in the City yes
terday morning and attended joint
meeting of the law and building COM
mittee of the Board OF Regents, which was
held prior to the regular session of the
board yesterday.
Complications growing out of the prom
ise OF DR.. Beverley Cole and the medical
faculty to pay the architect $I1,00 to
make good commissions waived in order
to bring the cost of the building within
the limit of S250,000 rendered immediate
action of some kind necessary. The Gov
ernor was convinced that some agreement
had been reached by which the contrac-
tors had consented to REIN burse the fac
ulty, and therefore manifested firm de-
termination to change the order of things

TO 81 90 and December to 81 46. A little

GENITAL.
The latest news from India yesterday
afternoon was very dishearl ening, and
there will be no '97 wheat to export as the
sowing is now at standstill. The con-
tinued drought has ruined the present
prospect of a crop beyond recovery. Aus.
tralia and Argentina are suffering and
Russia is light. The Pacific Coast alone
must supply the deficiency, consequently
the farmers of California, Oregon and
Washington who have held on to their
wheat are in clover. Even France, which
has always been able to supply her own
demand, may have to import, as there is
a probability that her fields will go short
also.
The chartered wheat feet here has o
registered tonnage of $4,000 tons against
$500 of this date last year. and disen-
gagged 29,600 tons against 1880 OF last
year. There are on the way to this port
252.900 tons.

said yesterday that the market was steady
and strong and while fuctuating had an
upward tendency. The continued call for
wheat from India, where no seed can be
sown on account of the absence of rain,
will keep prices up for the present at least.

In the meantime the Democrats are go-

there is really no dearth of Democratic

cisco and in different parts of the State

the humiliation of speaking under the
auspices of the silver league instead of
having their expenses ana the bills for
