TIE SUNDAY GALL"

The great political struggle, now hap
PLY drawing to close, naturally absorbs
much OF the popular interest at this par
ticular time, yet the average man or
woman relishes diversion, and 1t is gen.
ulne relief for them TO have chance of
turning aside for an hour on one day in
the week for the refreshing enjoyment of
literary repast such as that afforded by
the columns of TIE SUNDAY CALL.
Among the many attractions of to- NOR
rows issue only comparative few can be
enumerated here. thrilling story of an
adventure with a wild beast will make ex-
cellent reading for leisure time, while
those who prefer something of humorous
nature will be gratifed in the perusal of a
piece of local fiction based on very odd
contingency.
"A new poetess of Northern California
sings her first song to tbs glories of snow
crowned Shasta.
A charming letter from Cologne gives
some highly amusing travelling episodes

Then there is story of a hunt for rare

about seventy-tive degrees below zero.
AS to the news of the campaign, THE
CALL contains the very latest and mos t
reliable accounts from all parts of the
country. 1t furnishes careful estimates
of results from every quarter of the Union
and no better idea of how the mighty voice
of the great Republican party will speak
on Tuesday next can be formed than by a
study of The CALLS dispatches. Litera-
ture, science and the fashions have ably
edited departments and the children s
page is, as usual, full of delightful things
for the young kings and queens of the
household. Timely editorials and all the
local news presented in the best and
clearest manner complete to-morrow's
issue of California; s representative Sunday

do our best to render this one harmless.
The programme arranged for Mr.. Reed in
California was the work of the State Gen.
trail Committee. 1t did not provide for a
speech by Mr.. Reed in Sacramento. That
programme has not been changed except
in the minor point that Mr.. Reed will
speak in Oakland in the afternoon instead
of the evening OF Monday as was at first
proposed.
The story that he is to go to Sacramento
is false in every particular. Had it been
arranged for MIN to 60 there itwould have
been equally false in the Examiner to as
sert that his going was arranged by Mr..
Huntington.
From this example of the course fol-
lowed by the Examiner in the campaign
people can see how much reliance is to be
placed on any of its assertions. 1t has
raised cry of coercion where there is no
coercion. it has maligned the workingmen
of California and insulted their employers.
1t has endeavored to defame great states
man, it has affronted the dec ncy as well as
the hospitality of the State and it has shown
itself shameless. malicious and false in
every issue that has arisen. The lies pub
lished alb out Mr.. Reed will not affect him,
but 1t behooves the people of California to
rebuke them in the most emphatic man
ne-. Such journalism as this does not
materially affect politics, but it does re-
fleet discredit upon community that toll
crates it.

how much he has done to promote the
industry of the miner. In fact, every in

Mr.. Johnson well merited renomina-
ton from the Republicans in his district,
and equally merits the reelection which
he is sure to receive from the people. His
constituents know him too well to be
affected by the slanders of his opponents.
One OF the abiest orators in Congress, he
gives dignity and force to the California
delegation in that body, and all Califor-
mans are gratiied to know that he will
be returned this year by a majority which
Will refute the caIumnies of his assailants

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
President David Starr Jordan Supports
the Cause.

President David Starr Jordan Supports
the Cause.
On the occasion of Mrs. Chapman-Ca Catt's
lecture at Stanford University President
David Starr Jordan, in introducing her,
stated that he would take that opportunity OF
placing himself on record in regard to woman
suffrage, which he did in the following words:
Sir Henry Mayne has said that the great
movement for freedom which is eliminating
in our century is In its essence a movement
"from status to contract" II the old days
and with other races of men the individual
man retained through life the status in which
he was born. He was born lord or slave,
sailor or farmer, clerk or shoemaker, and this
he remained through life He was part of a
class and his fortunes rode or fell with the
fortunes of his caste.
The movement toward contract gives the in
dividual, in some degree, the making of his
own destiny. His class is determined not by
his birth but by his achievements or expert
ences. He may rise above the class of his
parents or he may as easily fall below il. If
we had perfect freedom the fate of the indi-
viduai would be exactly what the individual
would make IL. To this end we have seen the
repeal, one by one, of forms of class iegisla-
ton, whether intended to keep classes down
or to raise them up. All forms of legislative
paternalism or of coddiing come, in the long
run, to be oppressive to the individual.
The same tendencies apply to the status of
Al
tends TO give each woman the place she can
individually fill. Laws once framed to pro-
tect women serve to oppress them. The word
''male," which sets off certain number of
duties and privileges as rights of men, mar
rows and limits the rights of women. The
ballot is only one of the sex distinctions en-
phasized in law and custom 1t is not the
most important one. But it is important The
duties and limitations of sex are great and
important. They are defined well enough by
nature and need no emphasis from statute.
The word ''male" in law or constitution is an
anachronism, and it is coming to be felt as an
impertinence.
Let the individual woman become what she
may become. Let her be strong If she may
loving if she will, weak it she must. She is
none the more loving or lovable or devoted
none the better wife or wiser mother. because
from certain fields of cause or action she is ex-
cluded by statute The movement from status
to contract, the movement toward individual
freedom is not movement of manhood alone.
1t is movement of humanity, and whatsoever
makes stronger, freer women will tend 10
make stronger, freer men.
The following additional thirteen papers
have strongly indorsed the amendment during
the past week: Sacramento County Ledger,
Merced Sun, Point Arena Record, Campbell
Visitor, Eastland Press, San Bernardino Times
Index, Hanford Journal, San Diego Seaport

CHANGE OF REsTDENCE-J. H. H., City. If you
changed your residence prior TO thirty days(
before election and failed to get transfer
within twenty-seyen days before election you
have lost your rightto vote
How TO VorE-J. H. r., City. The instruc-
tions on the ballot, ''vote for ve,' or ''vote for
nine," or "vote for twelve" mean that the
elector shall not vote for more than that num-
Der in the subdivision over which the instrue-
/ ton appears. The eleetoI is privileged to vote
for one or more Supervisors, not exceeding
twelve, or ii he does not wish to he need not
vote for any, and for that matter he could vote
for only one candidate on the whole ticket
and his ballot would be legal, but man who
would do that would certainly be very in
different citizen. s.
THE ELECTORAL VoTE-G. E. K, City. The
vote fol Presidential electors from State are
counted the same as they are counted for any
other officer. II there are half dozen sets OF
Presidential electors in this State the nine
individuals receiving the highest number or
votes are declared elected, irrespective OF the
party head. Witness the election OF 1892 in
Calif3rnia... Eight Democrats were elected and
one Repu blican. In this election the votes for
electors will be counted for the individuals
and not for party. The votes cast for Demo-
cratic electors and for Populist electors will be
counted as whole to make up the popular
vote for Bryan, but not for electoral purposes.

voter can vote for as many electors OF one
party he desires and make up the balance
from the other electors, providing, in this
State, that he does not vote for more than nine
in the aggregate. The Registrar of Voters in
San Francisco has sent TO each voter slip on
which is printed in big letters: THE voter
must stamp the cross after each Presidential
elector he desires TO vote for"
ELECToRs-J. C. g., Stockton, Cal. The peo-
pie do not vote for President and Vice-Presi-
dent direct, because the constitution of the
United States provides that the President and
Vice-President sbaIs be elected follows:
Each state shall appoint in such manner as the
Legislature thereof may direct NUN Der of cleo
tors equal to the whole number OF Senators and
Representatives 20 which the State may be
titled in Congress-: but Senator Representa-
tive person holding office of trust profit
under the United States shall be appointed
elector.
Electors have been chosen in four different
ways-by joint ballot of the State Legislatures,
by concurrent vote of the two branches of
the Legislature, by a general vote and by
district vote In 1872 the general ticket
method was adopted in every State.

THE PARADE. TODAY.

The parade to-day signifies the uprising
of the American people for a return
to prosperity and the maintenance of
law. 1t is a denunciation of Cleveland
and a condemnation of Bryan. 1t is q
rebuke to free trade and a protest against
free silver. Itis not by any means local.
Similar parades to that in San Francisco
will be held in every city IN the Union,
and the vast majority of the American
people will either take part in themoor
will give them. approval by applause as
they march along the streets, decorated
with the National banner as emblems of
the National patriotism which animates
the movement.
In San Francisco the parade will be the
greatest political demonstration ever made
in this State. Labor and capital will
march together to express an equal deter
mination to redeem the country from past
disasters and to save it from the possible
folly of Organism. In the face of the en-
thusiasm which will be everywhere mani
fest. it will be foolish for the. Bryanites to
raise their silly cry of coercion. There
will not be man in the procession who
does not eyince. by every means of ex-
pressing human thought, that he is there
because he believes it is his patriotic duty
TO make this manifestation of his deter
mination to cast vote for the Republican
ticket.
A few days ago it was calculated that
the parade would contain $4,000 people.
The growing enthusiasm on the subject all
through the week gives reason for believ-
ing that the first estimate will fall below
the number who will take part in the
march. Very nearly every business and
every industry in San Francisco will be
represented, and nearly all the counties of
California will have delegations in the
line.
When we remember that parades of a
similar character will be held in every
great city of the Union. we shall be en-
abled to estimate to some extent the
nature of the great popular uprising which
has resulted from the attempt to cover
free trade with the Inask OF free silver.
The people have seen that behind Bryan
stand Altgeld, Tillman, Coxey, Debs and
every reckless mischief maker in the
country. They know he represents every
lawless element that exists in American
society. They know that he stands for
the repudiation of honest debts, the degra.
dation of American honor and the weak
ening of American law. They know that
he threatens more of what is dangerous
to the welfare of the Republic than any
candidate that ever dared aspire to the
Presidency. Knowing these things. they
will not be content with the. ordinary
course of defeating the candidate at the
polls, bat will give public manifestation
of their adherence of him and his party
by popular demonstrations so emphatic
in their nature that none can mistake
them.
1t is an outburst of loyalty. display of
patriotism that the people will see on the
streets to-day. Every man who can pos
sibly do so should take part in the parade.
Every man should carry with him the
banner of the Nation. 1t is an occasion
which appeals to the best sentiment
which animates the American people, and
none who are true to these sentiments
should hesitate to give this public and
popular expression to them.
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-31

The significance of the popular demon
stfation will not be misunderstood 1t
means the people wish American goods to
be made in American mills by American
labor, they wish American money to re-
main stable and honest, they wish Ameri-

they intend to crush out free-traders,
money-tinkers and lawless agitators by an
overwhelming vote at the polls.

NICARAGUA CANAL.
An Important Issue to California Ig
nored by PopocrGfs.

HOTe~ W = AOPOOTe'S'
To the Editor of The San francisco Cdll-SIR !:
The Republican platform declares that "The
Nicaragua canal should be built, owned and
operated by the United States.s' The Popo-
cratic platform is silent on the subject of this
great enterprise. Ought not this difference
alone, on & matter of such vital Importance to
California, be sufficient to determine how
every voter in this great State should cast
his ballot next Tuesday? The construction of
the Nicaragua canal is an issue in this cam
paign, and we must not permit it to be side
tracked.
Ca ifornia will never reach the full measure
of her prosperity until she enjoys direct COM
lnunieation with the markets of the Old
World.
