IN PERFECT ACCORD.
San Diego Union.


The outcome of the Sacramento convention
will have the effect to unite the Republicans OF
California. Lack OF harmony, it is true, has
never been characteristic of the party in this
State, but it is especially desirable, owing to
the vital importance OF the coming election,
that there should be perfect accord among
California Republicans. This result has been
attained by the convention.
There will always be honest differences
among the members of every party. But op-
posing views on matters OF policy need not be-
come dissensions and need not be so regarded
And now that the Sacramento convention is a
thing OF the past its outcome indicates that
whatever divergence of opinion there may
have been there was no dissension and will be
none. In spite OF some spirited passages the
general sentiment was one of Cancellation.
Upon one point only was there any substan-
tlal difference OF views, and this was on the
question of pledging the delegates TO st. Louis
While the sentiment tof q great majority of
members OF The convention was strongly in ia
vor OF instructing for Mckinley there were
some who believed that il would be wiser to
send untrammeled representatives. This was
the view taken by one or two delegations from
san francisco, but they were greatly in the
minority.
Yet their leader, Mr. spreckels, was chosen a
oelegate-at-large, and 1t is notable fact that
although the opinion which he was known to
entertain in regard to pledging was opposed to
that OF the majority, he received the largest
vote OF any OF the six candidates for ST. Louis.
IhlS was an 1ucident that spoke well for the
harmoniZing influences that were at work in
the convention, and it was very agreeably sup
plemented by Mr.. Spreckels' straightforward,
manly words expressing his acquiescence in
the will of the majority.
1t Is gratifying TO recall these incidents, es-
pecialIy In view of the acerbity which some
hotheaded partisans sought TO inject into the
controversy before the convention met The
outcome Is as pleasing to the entire party as it
Is disappointing TO the party's opponents, who
fancied they saw in those preliminary skir-
mishes on the question of instructions the en-
terlng wedge OF serious dissensions in the Re-
publican ranks.

SAVE SILVER.

The San Francisco CALL published cartoon
In Monday issue that will strike responsive
chord in the hearts OF many good Republicans

NEW RAYS.

Will men still say the light is good
When nothing lies from it concealed:
When, thrown on living flesh and blood,
II shows skeleton revealed?
We aye have loved the softened fays
Which will not let us see too much,
But wrap. as in a kindly haze,
The things that shrinR from human touch.
We hide our skeletons away
When they have played their living part,
And shut them from the light of day
Within the twilight OF the heart.
And all the wrongs that shock and shame
our tender feeling or our pride
The sullied honor, tarnished name
In dim forgetfulness we hide.
But now we dread lest some fierce beam
More strong than our resistance prove,
And make us look W here only seem
Unlovely relics of our love.
And yet, ii may be, we were wise
To welcome each new ray OF light
And face with frank, courageous eyes
What now we bury ont of sight
'Tis not, perchance, true self-control,
Nor any part OF charity,
To shut the windows OF the soul
'Gainst all we do not choose to see.
New light which shines on earth may tell
How brighter rays which shine above
Can touch the lowest depths of hell,
Yet touch with tender tints of love.

HONESTY AT The HELM.
Stockton Granhic.

Every honest Republican in the State of Cal
ifornia is rejoicing and congrstulating him
self, his party and the new brilliant leader,
John D. spreckels. Such o political victory
has not taken place in years, If it ever did, in
this State.
In the face Of perfect bulwark of obstruc-
uon, and in spite of the diabolical conniving
and low cunning of men who for years have
been stepped in political corruption, Mr..
Spreckels went calmly and methodically to
work, as business man, to weed out the men
who had SO long disgraced the State and the
Republican party by their nefarious practice S
along political lines
Many warm friends of Mr. Spreckels had
misg1vings as to the outcome. They were
fearful and afraid at times. but not so with the

The People OF San Francisco Asked to
Join in Making 1t a Success.
To the Editor Of the San Francisco Cdlt-SIR:
Your to-day's editorial, under the above cap
ton, inspires me, as general manager of the
California jubilee celebration at Monterey
from the 4th to 7th of July next, to ask from
you little space to deplore and deprecate any
action on the part of San Francisco that shall
in any way tend to diminish the luster of the
grand National event we shall then celebrate.
Shakespeare divides men into three classes,
"Some men are born great, some achieve great
ness and some have greatness thrust upon
them"
Monterey has had greatness thrust upon
herr in this case, and to enable her duly TO
sustain the State and the dignity of this great
nation we ask San Francisco to join heartily
with u.s. and make demonstration commen-
surate with the event.
In thus honoring our State we honor our
selves.
/ trust therefore, that the managers of the
metropolitan fete'' will time their fiesta so as
not TO conflict with the State celebration at
Monterey.
Relying on the cordial cooperation of THE
CALL and every other journal in the State,
am sir, yours frsternally.

The San Francisco CALL comes out fat-footed
for woman suffrage, and will fight on that line
TO a finish. We congratulate the women of
the State that they have secured such an able
champion. We also notice that the Examiner
is giving liberal room to the subject, and is at
least treating it fairly in its editorials. The
Berkeley Gazette is making a good fl ght for
the suffrage amendment in that locality, and
we congratulate ourselves in being placed in
such excellent company on this question
Give the women their half of the world. and
our word for it they will raise the politics OF
the country to a higher plane.

collar may be worn with high collar or with
only band at the neck. The cuffs look best
on rather short-puffed sleeves, busare pretty
also with the bishop sleeve.
Narrow insertions of lace or embroidery are
the usual trimming. This may be sewed on
top of goods, but is much prettier when let in
about half an inch from the edge. A narrow
edge of embroidery or lace to match is set on
the edge. Plain hemstitched sets in this shape
are very dainty and easy to make, as both
collar and cuff are cut square.

La Gazetta Musicale of Milan gives an ac-
count of some metallic tubes shown at the
Eucharistic Exhibition in that city. "These
tubes, constructed in England, are destined to
replace church bells. They have been brought
to high state of perfection, and are made of
all dimensions and all degrees of sorority. To
the excellence of their tone, which rivals that
OF the finest chimes, they join the advantage
OF occupying very limited space. II is easy
to see how well adapted they are to theatrical
use, for they are light to carry, can be placed
in the wings without being in any ones way,
and can even, if necessary, be placed on the
stage, where it is very easy to hide them.
Added to all these advantages, they are much
cheaper than bells so 1t is not difficult to pre-
dict that they will soon be adopted in all
theaters. may be added that in Puecini's
new opera, La Boheme,' they were used for
church bells with excellent results"
The reparation of the wrongs which the
town of Vienna did Mozart is now complete as
far as post-mortem reparation can ever be
complete. The inauguration of the Mozart
monument, at which the Emperor, the court
and all the principal authorities assisted, was
a splendid affair. The monument represents
Mozart in an upright attitude, clad in the pic
turesque costume of his period, resting MS
hand on his piano. The base is ornamented
with flowers and musical instruments IN re-
lief, and bears also a charming group OF chill
dren. Its simple inscription is Mozart
MDCCLVI-MDDXCI" Two reliefs sculptured
in the base represent Mozart as child seated
at his harpsichord and the last scene from
"Don Juan" sad feature of the inaugura-
ton was that the sculptor, Tilgner, who de-
| signed the monument, died just too soon TO be
present at its Inauguration.
