PERFEcTING THE TELEPHoNE.-C. ID.
Vaughn, manager of Western Union
Telegraph Co.'s station in New York
says he has about completed an in.
vention whereby it will be possible to
send telephone message across the
ocean. He says that by it's use he has
been able to distinctly hear the ticking
of watch over 1900 miles of wire.
The invention is based upon an i'm
proved induction coil which will admit
of the use OF a much higher voltage
than is at present admissible.

ANOTHER WONDER - TRANSMISSION
OF LIGHT.-Dr. Frank NJ. Close, OF
San Francisco, has discovered a new
application OF the Roentgen ray,
whereby he expects to develop an ap-
paratus for the electrical transmission
of light whereby it will be possible TO
see long distances. The Doctor, in
speaking of his discovery says: "My
apparatus is simply soft-iron magnet
enclosed in box, connected by 10
feet OF wire with similar soft iron
magnet at the other end. A lighted
candle placed in front of the opening
in one box by means of those invisible
properties eXcites current of electric
ity, which is transmitted to the other
magnet and there converted into its
original form. By interposition of a
prism the light is produced. 1t seems
to me possible to develop this discov-
cry of mine into means of enabling
man to see great distances. In my
present apparatus only about 10 feet OF
wire is used, but the result would be
the same with 10 miles. By q per-
fected telectroscope, photographs may
some day be made in San Francisco Of
subject in Sacramento, or even far
Their away, aud the transmission of
photographs around the world in as
short time as cablegram is now sent
becomes possibility"

SOUTH Tacoma seems to have an
epidemic of missing women. In the
past two months four women have
been reported missing to the police
from that part OF town. The latest
case reported to- the police authorities
is that Of the wife of Mr.. Henderson,
foreman of the N. P. carshops, of
South Tacoma, who disappeared Mon
day. Mrs. Henderson was in poor

attempted to commit suicide some
time ago. Her friends fear she may
have made way with herself.

SILVER HAS WOW

From Our Regular Correspondent.

cago convention have all been
chosen, and even President
Cleveland now recognizes that
silver has won, and that a free
coinage plankin the platform
is as near a certainty as any
thing not yet actually accom-
plished can be. There isn't
half the kicking from the anti
silver democrats that might
have been naturally expected.
There is general disposition
to submit as gracefully as pos
sible to the old democratic idea
that a majority rules. But the
contest for the head of the
ticket is not over, as it seems
that the silver democrats will
he few votes Short Of the two
thirds necessary to nominate.
If that should turn out to be
the case there may be quite a
number Of ballots Before the
nomination is made. Should
the silver men have two-thirds
it is the opinion Of some well
Informed democrats that Gov.
Boies, Of Iowa, if his friends
can convince the convention
that he can carry his own state,
will stand an excellent chance
for getting the nomination.
The work of the convention
will practically begin this week
when leading representatives
of both silver and anti-silver
democrats will meet at Chi
cago for the purpose Of confer
ring with their respective asso-
ciates and agreeing as far as
may be possible upon pro
gramme for the convention.
While it is, of course, possible
that these gentlemen might
reach some sort of an agree
ment that would prevent a fight
in the convention, tits not con
sidered probable that they will.
1t seems impossible to avoid
that fight.

THE CHRISTMAS "OALL." "

The Christmas CALL will appear on
Christmas morning and will be one OF the
bright features of that happy holiday in
every home to which it comes. In every
respect it will be a genuine California pa
per, and will bear in its bright and inter
esting pages suggestions of the good cheer
which accords with the celebration of the
great festival.
The publication of the paper on Christ
mas day itself will make it more truly a
holiday paper than if it appeared this
morning. Moreover, the pressure of news,
advertising and stories requires us to issue
it separately from the Sunday number, in
order to do justice to ourselves, our read
ers and to the public.
1t goes without saying the number will
be equal to any newspaper publication of
the year. 1t will be a Christmas gift in
itself of no small merits or proportions.
Look out for It. Leave orders for it.
Every home in California ought to glad
den itself with copy OF the Christmas

can be gained for the cause of morality by
denunciations which contound these with
sheets utterly disreputable and wholly
vile. If the pulpit is to help on the COM
ing of the ideal newspaper it must dis
tinguish between the good and the evil
which exist, and support the one while
condemning the other.
Public sentiment is now well prepared
to cooperate with the church in the fight
against that vicious portion of the press
which seeks to degrade journalism to the
slums and spread the emanations of the
slums into every home. This fact is made
manifest by the war now being waged in
New York against the Journal of that city
and in San Francisco against the En-
GmiTer. The promoters of the movement
for an ideal newspaper will therefore have
powerful allies among all classes of decent
people If they direct their war rightly.
There must be no firing in the air. Let
the advocates of decent journalism brand
the vicious by name and hold them up to
the scorn and contempt of the virtue they
have Knocked at and the decency they
have outraged.

THE KANSAS cow AND KANSAS
HEN.
Emporia fKan.l Gazette.


All ands agree that outside capital is not
available just now, and many good BUSINESS
people think 1t is undesirable But there are
ways out open. One of these ways is the Kan
sas eowpath. That will lead to glory quicker r
than the Legislature can lead the way. The
Kansas COW, if she is worked. will pay off the
National debt quicker than any Legislature.
Trainload after trainload of butter leaves
Newton every month for New York, where it
is shipped directly to London. That train
should leave every Kansas county between
Great Bend and the Missouri River. 1t would
distribu more money per capita in Kansas
than "the free and unlimited coinage OF silver
at the legal and constitutional ratio OF 16 TO
l." 1t would bring as much money into Lyon
County in year as the Santa Fe Railroad
shops bring If the farmers of this comm unity
would get the milk 10 market There is more
money in the Kansas COW than there is in
pearls and diamonds.
The Kansas hen can pay off the Kansas mort
gage easier than a tariff bill or a silver bill.
There Will be q tariff on eggs, and the Cana
dian hen will be in the hands OF receiver.
The Kansas hen eggs will be served on the
breakfast table of the Palmer House in Chi
cago and the Fifth Avenue In New York. The
Kansas hen will bring in more money than
the Kansas steer. The thing TO do is TO culti-
vate the hen.
Then when the hen and the COW are running
on full time. the thing to do is to get patch
in these things and good times are coming
are here. Men are going to work in all the
shops In the Central Middle States. These
men are going to eat canned corn and canned
"tomatuses' and cam ed beans. Let EN- eat
Kansas truck. 1t will pay.

CALIFORNIA IN THE CABINET.

That California deserves place in the
Cabinet of the next administration and OF
right ought to have it is the universal
opinion of the people of the Stare. There
has teen a general satisfaction In the
prospects that such a position would be
awarded to q Californian, and until re-
Gently there was no evidence of any out
break of personal antagonism or hostlll-
ties that would tend to prevent it.
1t is to be hoped such signs of personal
antagonism as have appeared do not repre-
sent a strong feeling in any quarter.
There is no reason why dissensions should
break out over the subject. We have had
abundant experience in the past to show
that Californians are always able to de-
feat one another IN their aspirations for
high offices in the councils OF the Nation.
1t is certain, therefore, We can defeat one
another again if we seek to do so. 1t re-
mains with ourselves TO decide whether
we shall follow the old cutthroat policy,
and prevent any Californian from finding
place in the Mckinley Cabinet, or
whether we shall unite and work together
to secure that position for some man who
will reflect credit upon the administration
and upon the State.
That the Republican party of California
contains many men well worthy OF the
high honor of a seat in the Cabinet is not
to be doubted. Among the men who
have been recommended there are several
who would ably serve the people and IL
lustrate the capacity of Californians for
dealing with great National issues and
problems. THE CALL has no special favor
ties among these. 1t does not assume to
dictate to the party nor claim the
right to name the men who are to have
the honors OF the great victory achieved
by the effective work of all Republicans
acting together in harmony throughout
the State. THE CALL has no council but
that of harmony. If Republicans of Cali
fornla cannot agree upon any one man for
Cabinet position let them recommend
three or four and leave it to President Nc
Kinley to choose from among Them.
Such men as Horace Davis, Judge de
Haven, Mr. Elwood Cooper, Judge Way
mire and others who might be named are
certainly men whom the Republicans of
California could well unite in recommend
ing for appointment to the Cabinet. Each
of them is a man who has been tried in
many important tasks, and in both public
and in private life has proven himself to
be capable, faithful and trustworthy.
Let US bear in mind the issue before US
is not to advance the interests of any par
ticular man, but to gain for California q
representative in the Cabinet. We
know from past experience what has been
the result of our local dissensions. Let Us
now mark the beginning of new era in
politics by overcoming these dissensions
and winning for California the recognition
which she deserves in the highest council
of the Nation.
The San Francisco call., 1896-12-20
THE IDEAL NEW SPAPER.

The movement recently started in New
York among ministers and religious
organizations proposing a boycott against
sensational Sunday newspapers and the
establishment of an ideal newspaper,
while perhaps somewhat visionary and
not directed with sufficient concentration
of aim to that evil in newspapers which
should be and can be cured, is exceedingly
well timed and will no doubt accomplish
much in the way of reform.
The principal error in this training OF
the guns of righteousness is that they are
pointed indiscriminately at all Sunday
newspapers The ammunition thus
directed will be wasted, for the Sunday
paper has come to stay. 1t is necessity
of modern civilization. Let vile papers be
opposed and also the portion of evil that
mingles in papers partially good, and the
war may be as Grant waged it instead of a
Quixotic tilt. We have reached stage OF
progress wherein the news is needed
''every day and Sunday, too" The
preacher who would be forceful and
timely must know when he enters his
pulpit what is the latest news.
The efforts of ministers and religious
organizations to cripple clean Sunday
papers, If effective, would but remove an
influence which may be made to accom-
plish great good, and by this removal
give redoubled opportunity for scandalous
sheets to corrupt society. Let the clean
paper be encouraged and the foul one
condemned if the preachers and the
public wish to do some practical good in
the world. Now is an opportune time to
get in this effective work, for the people
are nauseated with the vileness of the
new journalism" and the tendency to
push forward from every man and
woman who wishes prurient literature
kept out of their homes.
1t has been said the first issue of the
"ideal newspaper" would be published on
the morning of the millennium; and this
is, of course true in the sense that perfec-
ton is not attainable in state of exist
ence in which evil is ever present with
us. A Sunday paper, however, can have
It's pages full of matter that will entertain,
enlighten, encourage and make more
moral and happy thousands of people
who have little time to read except on
that day. 1t reaches many who will not
20 to church and who do not read books.
For these the newspaper can supply not
only the latest news, which they are
bound to read, but also the instruction
required by intelligent and refined readers
in the way of literary beauties, science,
art and exploration.
There are many most excellent Sunday
newspapers published in this country, as
every fair-minded man knows. Nothing
