SANTA RosA's CARNIVAL.

The next OF the flower festivals held in
California this year will be the one at
Santa Rosa, which opens tomorrow and
closes Saturday night. The formal open
ing tomorrow evening will witness the
advent of the beautiful and gracious queen
whom the people have selected to WELD
the rose-scepter over them. The grand
parade will be on Friday, the games on
Saturday and frew orks Saturday evening.
Experience acquired in preceding years
has greatly enlarged the scope of the
present undertaking, and as this charm
ing valley of Sonoma wears its most
pleasing aspect at this time of the year the
strangers who witness the pageant and
observe the superb natural beauties of the
region, the refined elegance of its residents
and the exquisite taste with which they
conduct this imposing festival will see
California life in its most pleasing aspect.

Western Watchman.

w cSteEn WatCnman.
Several months after THE MORNING CALL
passed under the present management, and
when the announcement of the intended con-
struction of its splendid new building was
given to the public, the Watchman took occa-
sion to commend the broad and liberal gauge
upon which the new management was run
ming the paper, building it up and giving it q
prestige that it had never before attained We
feel that The CALL is still further broade ming
It's sphere and ground for public appreciation
In the course it is pursuing politically, for,
while it is openly Republican paper, it is
admitting in its department Letters From the
PEOPLE" articles treating of reform principles
from the Populist standpoint-strong, we'll
directed articles from that well-known Popu-
list writer and erstwhite editor, J. A. Johnson,
Esq.
The articles are not partisan, treating rather
OF principles, but those principles are the very
core OF the reform movement, and THE CALL
cannot be too highly commended for its
marked liberality in this direction, for while
1T expresses its own opinions editorially, it
gives the people who subscribe for and read
its columns for the news they contain chance
to express their opinion. The broader the
gauge of great metropolitan newspaper the
more people it is calculated to reach, and THE
CALL is certainly molding its course to reach a
very large proportion of the people. While the
conservative and Republican element will un-
doubtedly take pleasure in reading THE CALL s
editorial as well as news columns, the Watch
man urges it's Populist readers to make point
of reading the most excellent and instructive
letters from the pen of ]. a. Johnston. THE
CALL deserves the recogniti on of the people.

WHAT AN ADVERTISEMENT DID.

When the present writer announced the ar
rival OF a son and heir in the birth columns of
one of the dailies the other day he had no no.
ton that he possessed as many friends as he
certainly does. Congratulations poured in
from various well-known commercial houses
and these were accompaniment in many instances
by substantial presents. There were about
dozen different kinds of soap, nine samples of
various infant foods, three bottles of beef ex-
tracts, powder puff and seven boxes of violet
powder, four or five different kinds of night
lights, eight babies bottles, three elaborate
works on how to bring up young children,
specimens of linen and flannel for infant at
tire and advertisements innumerable of every
thing that baby could possible need. Besides
these there came proposals from dozen in
surance companies to insure the life of the
baby and the whole family on especially ad-
vantageous terms, prospeetuses from Ca1ifor-
MIA emigration society anxious to ship the baby
and the rest of the family to the land of peaches
and pumpkins at the lowest possible rates,
leaflets from private gentlemen who wanted to
lend any sum of money from f5 to ESQ, 900, on
no security whatever, together with advice,
sympathy and good wishes enough to last q
family hundred years.-London Fame.

TO ALL REPUBLICANS.

THE CALL has received communication
signed by the chairman and secretary OF
the Mahoney and Kelly combination in the
Fourth District, charging that gross frauds
were committed at the regular primaries
held in that district, and claiming that
the Kelly-Mahoney delegation is right
fully entitled to seats in the State Conven-
ton.
A copy of the communication was un-
doubteoly sent to the other papers of the
City. The object of the authors is plain
The State Executive Committee meets to-
day and the Keily-Mahoney combination
seeing its chances are desperate has re-
sorted to the publication of these charges in
the hope that they will have some effect
upon the committee and be instrumental
to some extent in determining its action.
THE CALL is not in the least surprised by
the attack nor by the form in which it
comes. When we undertook to maintain
the cause of pure politics and honest
primaries in this City we were well aware
that we would have to fight all those
whose interests lay in corruption and
fraud. We knew also beforehand what
that fight meant. That all forms of abuse,
Misrepresentation and deliberate lying
would be resorted to by the gangs, was
foreseen. In the interest of reputable
politics and Of the great mass of Repub-
iican voters we were willing to face that
fight. We meet it now without hesitation
and it shall be conducted to finish.
The charges made by the tools of Kelly
and Mahoney will be investigated by the
executive committee at its meeting to-day,
but the investigation will not stop with
those charges. 1t will include all the pro-
ceedings of the gang from the time Kelly
and Mahoney held their midnight meet
ing, and, by forged proxies, attempted to
get control of the party machinery, down
to the time when they held their farce
primaries and selected bogus delegation
to the State Convention. The results of
that investigation will be made public, and
the people can then judge for themselves
what action loyal Republicans should take
in the matter.
In conclusion, we have but one thing to
say. We have never made charges against
the men who compose the so-called Kelly
Mahoney delegation. We have admitted
that many of them are honest men who
have been deluded into false position.
We repeat as much now. We desire the
harmony of all good Republicans in the
general interests of the party and have no
fight against any man who is honest. Our
fight is against corruption and against all
who practice it.

ago as the result of differences of opinion

ago as the result of differences of opinion
concerning certain public affairs. 1t is
gratifying to learn not only that these
disagreements have been forgotten in a
united desire to make this festival an ex-
ceptionally brilliant affair, but also that
the effort will produce lasting effect in
solidifying popular endeavor to advance
the best interests of the city. This spirit
of cordial cooperation has gone so far as
TO cause groups OF merchants occupying
adjoining houses to employ their buildings
collectively in the development of a single
decorative design on an imposing scale.
The idea, SO far as we are informed, is
entirely new and will undoubtedly be
productive of splendid results. The i'm
portant consideration, apart from the
large decorative effects to be secured by
this plan instead of bewildering kaleido-
scope of individual and inharmohious
house decorations, is that festivals of this
kind bring the people into close relations
of sympathy and purpose and enable
them all the more effectively to work
intelligently for the good of the COM
munity.
Santa Rosa is specially fortunate in sew
eral ways. Its situation on the floor of
smiling valley backed on either side by
handsome mountains, gives rare oppor-
tunity for panoramic effects, and these su-
perior natural conditions are made perfect
by climate which in itself is perpetual
luxury. But of a value equally great is
the superior quality of its settlement.
Where to perfect natural conditions are
added social attractions of the highest
