Last summer one of our grand children
was sick with severe bowel trouble
Our doctors remedies had failed, then
we tried Chamberlain Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, which gave very
speedy relief. We regard it as the best
medicine ever put on the market for
bowel complaints E. G. Gregory,
Frederickstown, Mo. This certainly is
the best medicine ever put on the mar
ket for dysentery, summer complaint,
collie and cholera infantum in children.
1t never fails TO give prompt relief when
used in reasonable time and the plain,
printed directions are followed. Many
mothers have expressed their sincere
gratitude for the cures it has effected.

HOLIDAY GIFTS.

There are many people in San Francisco
who have friends scattered about over the
Eastern States to whom they will wish to
send some token of remembrance at
Christmas time, especially if they knew
just what is the proper thing 20 send.
Would it not be good idea to send
them something. little or big as the
giver's purse and generosity may chance
to be, that is distinctively Californian ?
Some native product in which we excel
would be particularly appropriate to send
as gift from California, which is re-
garded as a wonderland by Eastern peo-
pie. The danger of duplication of gifts
would thus almost certainly be avoided,
and so even those to whom Santa Claus
had been exceedingly bountiful would
have novel pleasure in the remem-
brances sent from the Golden State.
Were this plan generally adopted it
would do double beneficency. Besid es
its uses in the world of pleasure, it would
have an influence in the world of industry
and commerce Nearly all things have
their small beginnings, and there is no es-
timating to what extent the samples of
California good things thus spread broad
cast might enlarge Eastern knowledge of
our productions and create an appetite
and demand for them.
To have such calculating object would
not be by any means selfish, because the
benefits conferred would preponderate for
the East. To teach the Eastern people
where to send for what they are so much
in need OF as California products is an OBJ
iect second in benevolent i'm portance only
to sending the gospel to the heather.
Just go down into the beautiful stores
of our City and look around you. There
are dainties both beautiful and luscious of
many kinds, put up in small packages
and sod for moderate prices. There are
glasses OF berries put up whole so that no
man need doubt their integrity. This
would mean much to the Eastern man
who has been fed on concoctions of glu-
cose and sulphuric acid purporting to be
preserves of fruit. Then there is nelange,
giving much in little, which would make
moderate express parcel
Small light boxes of select dried figs
and prunes look tempting here, and there
they would De irresistible. Novelties of
orange, olive and redwood, photographs
and paintings of our scenery would be
more valued in the East than here. Then
there is wine. The list is long, but all
choice. and cheap. Scatter the samples, so
the East may learn to order it's good
things from the land of delicious abun-
dance and artistic beauty.

GENERAL MILES, REPORT.

In his annual report to the Secretary of
War, General Miles devotes considerable
space to the consideration of the question
of coast defense. and repews forcibly. all
the recommendations on that subject made
In former reports. He points out that the
appliances of war have undergone so great
change within the last thirty years as to
make it imperative TO alter the entire char
acter OF our older Notifications and arma-
ments.
In his estimates of work required to be
done the general treats the Pacific Coast
well. He recommends for San Diego $780,
925, for San Francisco $902, $50, for the
mouth of the Columbia River $3.50, ,325 and
for Puget Sound $764, ,05O
In addition 10 these recommendations
for coast defenses the general also urges
the Importance of having on this side of
the Rocky Mountains a station suitable
for the accommodation of a regiment of
cavalry. He recommends furthermore an
increase OF the army. on the ground that
1t has not kept pace with the growth of the
country and the needs of the Government.
he suggests that the enlisted strength OF
the army shoIld be fixed at one soldier to
! every 1000 of the population as the mini
mum, and that the maximum strength
should be determined bv the Preside t
according to the necessity and require
! ments of the Nation.
Whatever may be thought of the gen.
erals recommendations in regard TO an
increase IN the strength of the army, there
is hardly likely to be any wide differences
OF opinion concerning what he says of the
| need OF coast defenses. While the total of
his estimate is large we can see by the
amounts proposed for the defense OF the
Pacific Coast that they are not excessive.
| His estimates will give US Notifications at
four points along the line of our coast,
and considering the cost of modern arma-
ments the sum which he suggests is GER
talnly economical.
The average citizen, busy with the affairs
OF his daily vocation, does not see the ne
cessity of military ornaments as the gen.
eral of the army sees it. In fact the mass
OF business men regard the probability OF
war as something so far and remote
that 1t is hardly worth while TO make
preparations for it on anything like an
extensive scale. The views of such men,
however, ought not to have much weight
against those of the general of the army
| 1t is his duty 10 study the protection OF
the Nation against any possible war. and
when in the fuifillment of that task ne
makes report concerning things needed
for our security, it would be a lack of
common-sense on our part if FIVE should
neglect to heed what he says or fail to
carry out his recommendations as far as
they accord with National economy.

THE END OF FUSION.

The trouble of the fusion managers has
not ended with the election. On the con-
trary, never was the fusion in so much
confusion as at this time. The discord
affects the whole scheme from highest to
lowest, and is to be noted not only in
National politics, but even in the local
politics of the approachinr spring eIec-
tions.
The declaration of L. G. Bateman, who
was the Populist candidate for Governor
in Maine. published in THE CALL of
Thursday, has been followed by another
letter from Watson to Chairman Butler,
published yesterday. Both of these make
it clear that the middle-of- the-road Popu-
lists will have nothing more to do with
Democracy. and reports from the cities in
California where spring elections are to be
held show that the local Democratic and
Populist managers are as antagonistic as
are their National leaders.
As Mr.. Bateman said: Bryan and his
issue are done for" That expresses the
whole situation in nutshell, and as there
Is no longer any fusion issue, there is no
longer any possibility OF fusion. To the
National leaders the difficulty is merely
one OF abstract politics, but to the local
leaders getting ready for spring election
1t is much more perplexing problem.
They are not able to dispose of it by
simply writing letters on the subject, and
it would seem that nothing remains for
them but complete abandonment of the
com bination formed last summer.
This result was not unexpected. In
fact, it was foreseen from the beginning
by political experts, and foretold over and
over again. The Popuiists will go back
to the middle of the road and resume their

THE PLEASURE OF APPREOIA-
TI0N.

The desire of appreciation and the feel
ing OF pleasure arising upon its honest
expression are among the most clearly de-
fined attributes of the human mind. 1t
matters not in what pursuit, trade or cell
ing person is engaged, he will be found
as a rule earnestly seeking for the appre-
ciatlon of somebody, and will respond in
an increase of effort when its presence is
made known.
THE CALL, under its present manage
ment, has devoted two years OF service TO
the people of California, with certain
definite objects in view. 1t has aimed to
be daily newspaper representing and re-
spending to the healthiest thought OF the
time. 1t has endeavored to carry into
effect methods of journalism which are
above reproach. 1t has honestly sought
to gain and 10 deserve the confidence OF
its readers and patrons, and by this means
alone to achieve success. 1t has had an
increasing consciousness that it possesses
this confidence and that the success it
aimed for was being achieved.
1t has been a pleasure indeed to find
that the effort of THE CALL in the direc-
ton of clean and honorable journalism is
bel ng met with proper and well-expressed
appreciation.
In Toa0n Talk one of the brightest and
best of our local weeklies, appeared last
week the article which THE CALL repro
duced upon its first page yesterday. The
following excerpt from that article con-
tains the very essence of THE CALL
policy:
The real test of merit in q newspaper is what
1t contains Upon this point THE CALL is safe
from the effect of idle rumors and adverse
criticism. 1t gives the news. 1t speaks boldly
and clearly upon the issues OF the day. 1t
treats discordant interests fairly. 1t black
mails nobody. 1t reflects the decency and
propriety OF daily journalism.
THE CALL is grateful for this clear and
unequivocal expression of appreciation on
the part of our weekly contemporary. 1t
reflects, we believe, the sentiments OF this
community and of every other into the
homes of which THE CALL Is going with
constant increases. The people OF
California may rest assured that
the past course of THE CALL
which has evoked such words of apprecia-
tion will be its future one, and that it Will
continue to represent with increasing
earnestness and force that element in our
society which believes in the decency and
honesty in journalism which is a
prerequisite to success in every other
department. OF thought and trade.

NEWS OF FOREIGN NAvIES.

The portuguese Government recently in
vited bids for building 3600 ton CT user The
lowest tender came from Messrs Schiechau
OF Dantzig of $1,097 500, without arma-
ment; the Germanic Company OF Kiel offered
to build the cruiser for 81, ,112 500: the Naval
Armament Company of Barrows tender was
81 Il 80, 600, and that of Armstrong, Mitchell
&s Co. of Newcastle-on-Tyne SI.4l5.OOO
This latter included armements. The lowest
offer-$1 ,097 ,500-is very nearly that which
the Union Iron Works received for the Charles
ton. of about the same displacement.
France has now nearly twice as large a navy
as Italy, q fact which worries Signor Brin and
has caused him to frame a naval programme
10 cover ten years from 1897. He proposes to
build 20 vessels of different classes, 100 tor
pedo boats and 10 auxiliary vessels The
yearly sum TO be expended is set at So OOO-
OU0, or 100000, 900 for the ten-year period.
There is some difference OF opinion as to
whether in the present financial straits of
Italy the revenue can bear this increased bur
den.
The Catinat, second-class protected cruiser
of the French navy, built by con tract, is one
of the most formidable vessels of moderate
displacement yet built for any navy. She dis
places 5000 tons and is calculated to main ia N
speed of 10 knots with 5000 horsepower.
1t is the battery. however, which constitutes
the remarkable efficiency of this vessel, the
armament consisting. according to latest ad-
vices, of twenty-four 3.94-inch quick firing
guns. throwing shells OF 40 pounds weight
capable OF penetrating inches of iron at
$500 yards. AS the rapidity with which these
guns can be fred is Is rounds per min ute the
efficiency of the Catanat practically is that of

firing type, and must prove itself very for.

The war vessels in course of construction IN
Great Britain at the end of September were as
follows: For the British Government IN DOCK
yards 8, aggregating sO,S S35 tons; IN private
yards 80 of 104 455 tons. For foreign Govern
ments there were building in private yaros 20
war vessels, representing a total OF 90 4o
tons. This gives grand total OF 30 war yes

ments of 26S,030 tons.
An interesting trial W as recently made with
the Danish frigate Fyen TO ascertain the ac'
tual value, under certain conditions, OF auAif

hand, was scarcely perceptible when steam

THE MAGNETIC EFFECT.

Among the letters of congratulation
which President-elect Mckinley has re-
celved from all parts OF the country we
may be sure that none have pleased him
more than those which have come to him
from men of business and of industry.
These have brought him the best assur-
ance of the prosperity of his administers
tion by making it clear to him that his
election means the renewal of activity in
all lines of trade and the prosperity of all
the people.
Among letters of this kind one of the
most notable is that from Henry Clews,
who, among other things. says: ''The
magnetic effect of your election has al
ready advanced the price of securities
dealt in at the New York Stock Exchange
over $1OO, 900 600, and a CORES ponding
amount in the securities dealt in at the
different local markets throughout the
country"
Mr.. Clews called attention to the facts
that when he wrote spot cash wheat had
advanced both in Chicago and New York
since the election IA cents bushel, rates
oflnterest on call money had fallen from
10 to 4 per cent, and mercantile paper
which before the election was unstable
was then sought for at per cent per an
mum. This, as he points out, has resulted
in the employment of an increased amount
of labor, and he says: Machinery that
was heretofore idle by reason of the pro-
longed bad times is starting up again with
renewed vigor in all directions"
That these statements are not exagger-
ated is made evident by the news of open
ing mills and reviving industry in all
parts of the Union. We have not felt the
new impulse so acurely in California as in
some other States where there is a greater
manufacturing industry and where the
depression was more disastrous, but even
here there are not lacking abundant evil
dences that we are about to enter upon an
era of industrial activity which will be
widely different from the condition which
has prevailed during the past three years.
Among the notable signs of activity in
our State are the prospects for increased
railway construction. The Valley road
is preparing for large extensions, the
Southern Pacific is getting ready to COM
plete the coast line to Los Angeles. and
capital is coming forward to promote local
lines in various parts of the State. This
activity in railroad construction will stim-
ulate activity in other lines of industry,
and before long we shall see a large degree
of general prosperity.
Taking all these things into considera-
tion it will be seen that Mr.. Clews used
the right phase in speaking of 'the mag
netic effect" of McKinley's election. The
results have been hardly less than mag
netic in all parts Of the Union, and there
is every reason to believe that these effects
will ntinue to increase as wise legisla-
tion takes the place of Democratic blum
dering when the Mckinley administra-
ton becomes fact instead of forecast
