Major, if you don't punish that boy,
I will"
The words fell sternly from the lips
OF Mrs. Domo, who was ruefully sur
veying the wreck of her best reading
lamp.
Bob" said the major severely,
leone herei Maria, leave the room!''
Mrs. Domo went into the dining room
and shut the door to keep out the horrid
sounds.
"Whack, whack, whackl'' from the
major.
"Wowl Oh. wowi l won't do 1t

"Wback, whack, whackl Now, will

"No-ol No-o!" sobbed Bobby.

Mrs. Domo's ire by this time was
quite evaporated.
Again that dreadful slipper fell, and
again the air was rent with the yells Of
tortured innocence.
"Oh, major, stopl'
mot by a joyful. We're having a
splendid time in here. Whack, whack,
whack!'
Mrs. Domo could stand it no longer.
Stop it, you big brute!" she ex-
claimed, rushing into the apartment.
Then she grew madden than ever.
There, on his hands and knees, was the
major, galloping around OH the carpet,
while Bobby was larruping a slipper
and giving vent to terrified cries of woe.

Papers, and the DISPATCH,

The San Francisco call., 1896-06-19
FOR A MERCHANT MARINE.

One OF the most interesting planks of the
st. Louis platform, next to protection, of
course, is the one declaring for the restor-
alton of the merchant mar inc by direct or
indirect subsidy. 1t is hard to conceive
what the growth of Sa n Francisco would
be, commercially and n numerically, in the
next ten years under system of ocean
freight carriers sailing from and to the
Pacific Coasts metropolis. There is moth
ing that binders San Francisco becoming
the second center of commercial import
ance in this hemisphere but ample facili-
ties TO reach the countries bordering on
the Pacific Ocean. A well-supported mer-
chant marine would make this city one of
the chief ship-building centers of the con-
tinent, and moreover, it would remove the
present comparative isolation of California
and bring not only the State but the
whole American-coast country of the Pa
eifc in close touch with millions of foreign
people and thousands of foreign trade
centers.
But the Republican party is pledged to
accomplish all this for California, and
equally as much for the whole country,
and if for no other reason the people
should rise in their might and firmly seat
the chosen representatives of that party in
the Nations places of official trust. With
a strongly intrenched line of ocean craft
on the Pacific Ocean, and passageway
for them across Nicaragua, there is no
doubt at all that the population of Cali
fornia would be doubled in few years..
The Importance, therefore, to not only
Californians but to those who will make
this State their home, of giving opportu-
nifty TO put into practical operation the
theory of a Pacific Ocean merchant marine
is too apparent to enable any one to frame
an excuse for not giving the proposition
practical application.
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-19
NAMED THE WINNERS.

Merely to keep the record correct, THE
CALL reminds its readers that on the
morning of Thursday June IL, its special
correspondent predicted that when the
smoke cleared away from the convention
hall it would be found that William
Mckinley of Ohio had been nominated for
President and Garrett A. Hobart of New
Jersey for Vice President, and that the
platform would be based upon protection
to the Nations industries and the gold
standard for the redemption money Of the
Nations monetary system.
This matter is not referred to in the
way of self-gloriication, but simply to re-
mind the public, although everybody
knows it, that THE Calls facilities for
locating news and for securing it in ad-
vance of all contemporaries have no real
competitor. THE CALL is aware of
the fact that this is the last
and not the first end of the century, and
its appliances and methods for gathering in
and giving out current happenings, as
well as casting light upon coming events,
must necessarily be up to date. THE CALL
speaks for all, and its correspondents
know where to get the news, get 1t right
and get it early.
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-19
WHAT IT STANDS FOR.

The platform OF the National Repub.
l1can party provides for the betterment oi
the conditions OF existence of every citizen
OF the United States as contemplated in
that expression of the Declaration OF Inde-
pendence which claims for man the right
OF life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness. And since the greatest danger to
mans advancement from degree to degree
in possessing himself of those things
which are most conducive to the perma-
nency OF his right of life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness lies in the aggressive
ness of the would-be invader, the platform
anticipates the purpose of the intruder by
making protection against all such an
tagonism the warp and woof of the party S
declaration of principles.
No interest or need is overlooked. From
the obscure laborer working in the dark
ness OF the mine to the greatest aggrega-
ton of capital, the Republican party
encourages by guaranteeing the full
strength OF the Nations strong arm,
should it be needed in defense of the
promise of the Nations declaration of per-
sonal liberty. The name, the honor and
the welfare of the people, individually and
collectively, will be guarded at every pos
s1ble point of attack, while every one who
sows shall reap in peace the full of his
effort. National revenue adequate to
meet the expense of maintaining the Gov
ernment and to gradually pay off the
Nations debts will be provided, but in a
way that shall give the greatest possible
encouragement to the people to expand
their business enterprises.
Reciprocal trade relations will be estab-
lished with such nations as commo odIty
lnterchanges will be mutually advan-
tageous, and such substantial aid to
American ships will be given as shall en-
able them to gather under the stars and
stripes the country's ocean carrying trade.
That is to say, the commerce of the United
States shall no longer be dependent upon
foreign shipyards for water transportation
facilities to carry our goods and wares to
customers beyond the seas and fetch from
them such articles of merchandise as are
needed by US.
The railway systems Of the country
having grown to such proportions, the
Republican party will undertake the
supervision of their conduct to the extent
of revising transportation traffic tariffs
that the people may be protected against
the avarlciousness of corporate power.
The old soldier will be held in grateful
remembrance for protecting the Nation
against the vicious intent of reasonable
conspirators, and the old flag for which
they fought will hereafter be all the guar
antee of personal safety an American
citizen will want anywhere on earth. In
short, the platform of the Republican
party stands for the peace, the happiness
and the prosperity OF all the people.
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-19
THE BEST NEWS SERVICE.

THE CALL scored still another triumph
over its contemporaries yesterday morn
ing, when its special train carried
its big convention edition into the
city of Santa Cruz seven hours in
advance of any other San Francisco
morning newspaper. The train shot
into San Jose just fifty-seven minutes
after the start and to THE CALLS host of
readers in the Garden City the magnif-
cent paper had been distributed before 5
o'clock in the morning. The run to Santa
Cruz in two hours and fifty-eight minutes
broke all previous records over the line by
a full half hour, and there was enthusiastic
delight among the thousands of visitors to
the seaside carnival when they awoke to
welcome THE CALL that conveyed to them
the latest and most complete and faithful
details of the st. Louis convention, as well
as the news of the world, at about the
same hour that the carriers in this City
were finishing their daily rounds.
But THE CALLS record breaking feats of
yesterday did not end there. Its special
bulletins from the National Convention
hall in the Missourian metropolis were
given to the people of San Francisco con-
blnuOuS1y al dQfduCS VI 6l1 TWAS, anu the
news of the nomination of William Nc
Kinley was posted in front of the business
Office of THE CALL on Market street three
minutes after the announcement was
made by Chairman Thurston in st. Louis.
When the mighty cheers arose from the
throng in front of THE CALL Office as the
result of the ballot for Presidential
nominee was laid before them on
the canvas, the City received its first
thunderous notification that the Ohio
statesman had been confirmed as the
standard bearer of the Republican party
IN the campaign of 1896. THE CALL bul-
letins were full, accurate and prompt. As
THE CALL was first with its special train
on the scene of the Venetian Fiesta, so it
was first all the day in its bulletin service.
Verify shall it be said, supported by uni
yersal evidence of popularity, that THE
CALL speaks for all.
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-19
THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

The ST. Louis platform reasserts the
Monroe doctrine with great emphasis.
The events growing out of the Venezuelan
affair have shown how impotent the
Democratic party is to handle international
questions, which, together with the arro-
CANT asgressiveness of England, induced
by the administrators apparent timidity,
made it necessary for the Republican
party to put its Interpretation of the doc
trine with so much clearness that Great
Britain will know exactly what to expect
when Mr.. Mckinley becomes the executive
head OF the nation.
1t is fundamental principle of this
Government that territorial extension OF
European nations upon this continent by
purchase or conquest would be an attack
upon the republican form of government
and that the United States could not have
its own safety Or the safety of any republic
in this hemisphere endangered by permit
ting monarchy to get foothold. Oh
course, the Republican platform does not
intend to be understood as meaning that
American provinces of foreign powers are
held unlawfuIly, but it does mean that
such possessions shall not be used as a
pretext to acquire more territory.
The sympathy of the Republican party
with Cuba as expressed in the platform is
participated in by every true lover of lib
erty. right and justice. The declaration
is not threat, but it insists that the
people OF Cuba have the right to feel that
they can rely implicitly upon the infiu-
ence of the United States with Spain to
deal justly and grant them such liberty as

Mckinley to be elected. it is equally true
that danger of defeat lies in the confidence
OF the people that he will be elected in any
event. II would require but very
few IN each voting district to conclude
that their votes were not needed, and stay
away from the polls, to turn what should
be brilliant victory into humiliating
defeat The most disgraceful and mex
cusable defeat is the defeat by default.
It's the duty of every voter, without
reference to past or present party affilia-
tion, who wants to see the several lines of
commerce and industry put upon sound
and stable basis and who wants to see the
wealth of the country expand on lines
which shall insure its distribution among
the people-each one receiving according
to the honest effort he has made-to place
himself in the ranks that are fighting to
broaden and deepen opportunities for re-
munerative employment in every field of
labor that is now open or may hereafter
be developed.
