ALTGELD'S AMBITION.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-The chairman of
the Democratic state committee said
today that should Governor Altgeld fail
of reelection he will be the candidate
of the silver Democrats for United
States senator. Governor Altgeld will
certainly be a candidate for senator
should he not win In the coming battle"
said Mr.. Hinrichsen. THAT is to say,
of course, in case the legislature is
Democratic. Friends would never con-
sent to see ANYBODY else a candidate.

says: Tom Watson has given out an
anonymous letter purporting to come
from California. In part the letter
reads:
''If you had a particle Of manhood
about you. you would have resigned
long ago when you saw that you are
not wanted. One hundred of us have
sworn to put you off the ticket If you
do not go off of your own accord before
October Is. A word to the wise is suf-
ficient."
General opinion is that the letter is a
practical Joke.

A SONG OF SILVER CHEER
TO THE TINE OF AMERICA"


For home. sweet home. distress,
With mortgages oppressed,
For thee l pray,
And sing in accent clear
A song OF silver cheer
To sooth the freeman's ear,
His fears allay.
The hands of Greed withhold
All precious ore save gold
To measure wealth.
And, clutching it, grip all
The goods OF earth in thrall
While silver has to fall
BY legal stealth.
The price of what men raise
Is shriveled mp these days
About one-half,
Altho' what life sustains
Has value that remains
The same in equal grains,
In spite of chatf.
The silver unit was
The dollar Of the laws
Our fathers framed,
Till England. rising up
To bless her golden cup
From which lords only sup,
Her standard named.
Let patriots all join
To ask for silver coin
Free as OF old,
And of its uses tell
When il could buy and sell
And serve the people well,
Far more than gold.

THE GOTO REMEDY.
Supervisor Benjamin Will Get the
Money to Buy Medicine for
she Lepers.

Contributions for the fund to purchase
medicine for the lepers are being received
daily by Supervisor Benjamin, and there
is no doubt now that the amount neces-
sarY will soon be raised.
Last evening Mr.. Benjamin reported
that he had collected $3.50 and had been
promised other sums. In due time he
will take steps to communicate with some
competent firm or physician in Japan, so
that the genuine Goto remedy may be
procured.
Yesterday Supervisor Benjamin received
letter from D. c. Barber, superintendent
of the Los Angeles County Hospital. The
latter had seen in THE CALL an account of
the movement to pure hase the medicine
known as DR.. Goto's remedy, and there
fore wrote to the Supervisor asking the
price per ounce, and signifying that money
would be remitted to pay for quantity
sufficient for the two lepers in the Los
Angeles hospital, or as the superintendent
expressed it, ''our two lepers."
Supervisor Benjamin will prepare and
publish at the proper time full list of all
the contributors to the fund.

WORKERS FROM THE EAST
Three Ladies Who Will Toll for
the Good Samaritan Mis-
sion.
Miss Augusta Williams Finds Singu.
lar Absence of Slums in
This City.

Three ladies' from the East have Just es-
tablished themselves quietly on Essex
street, not far from the Mission OF the
Good Samaritan, with the intention of de-
voting their lives to working among the
poor of that parish.
The ladies are Miss Augusta II. Will
liams. late of Hartford, Conn.,, Miss Hollis
and Miss Woods. Miss Williams was
formerly parishloner of Bishop Nichols
in the East and she is stated to have come
to San Francisco with the intention of
taking up life work in connection with
the Episcopalian church. Both Miss Will
liams and the two ladies who are her fell
low -iaborers have had considerable expe-
rience in the kind of work ,hev have just
taken up here. and it is expected that they
will prove invaluable auxiliaries to the Rev.
w. /. Kip.
Last Sunday Bishop Nichols held a
special service at the oratory, defeating
the ladies to their work and asking for a
blessing on the fruits of their labor. Since
then they have devoted their time to max
ing acquaintance with the people Tho at
tend the mission, and have also struck out
on their own account to make new friends
among the dwcllers on Tar Flat. The
poorer and more squalid home the more
willing these workers are to enter it and
win the friendship and sympathy of its in
mates, for it is their intention to make
their home sort of headquarters for all.
especially Eplscopaliaus, who are in need
of sympathy or OF helping hand.
The first thin that has struck Miss
Williams in beginning her work in San
Francisco is the apparent absence of any
"slum' class, such as she has been used to
meeting il the East. At the Mission of
the Good Samaritan she has looked in
vain for any squalid worshipers, and so
far she has not met with any narrowing
cases OF poverty.
Although the work of Miss Williams and
her friends is only beginning with a
nucleus of three, it is intended to extend
the number of workers as time goes on.
Fairly in the autumn the ladies' will be
Joined by a chIrch-worker who is trained
nurse and VINO will donate her time gratis
10 attending to the wants OF those who are
too poor 10 secure proper attention in
time of sickness. Each worker is to have
her own sphere of usefulness, and it is
expected that the new departure will
greatly strengthen the hands of Rev. Mr..
KID in his work.
