The CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
Christmas eve.
Don't crowd too much.
Congress has made home run.
The bargain must be attended to to-day.
Leave your orders for the Christmas
CALL.
Give your help to-day to cheer the
friendless tomorrow.
AS soon as one street gets itself lighted
another sets to work to beatlt.
Charity as well as friendship claims the
attention of the generous giver.
Leave the shops free this evening to
those who cannot trade in the daytime.
The holiday OF tomorrow will be a
blessed rest to the bargain-counter clerk.
Santa Claus has hitched his wagon TO
the star of empire and is coming West
rapidly.
What you do for charity to-day will add
to the pleasure of your enjoyment to-
morrow.
II Cleveland does not get the recogni-
ton of Cuba into his head pretty soon he
will get it in the neck.
Enjoy as much as you can to-day the
pleasure of anticipation. The realization
of tomorrow may have flies on it.
The San Joaquin gets the best Christ
mas git OF the year in opening of the
Valley road for passenger business.
There is no climate on earth so con-
genial to Christmas as ours and nowhere
else will the day afford such variety Of
pleasures.
1t is easy to make fun of the horse
show, but fun don't improve the bust
ness of the horse market, and the horse
show did.
"Sound 70 the core is the way the San
Franciscans celebrate Christmas" That
Is what Haweis said about US. Now lei us
live up to it.
The report of the Grand Jury tells US
we have many evils in the City and
County, and now will somebody tell US
how to get rid of them?
There is no longer monopoly of trans
portation in the San Joaquin and before
long there Will be no such monopoly in
any portion of the State.
One of the things which make this
Christmas brighter than those of the last
three years is the prospect that next
Christmas will be brighter still.
The Christmas CALL will be good New
Years present for your Eastern friends.
1t will give them fair picture of the State
and some idea of the glory thereof.
1t will soon be the ''San Francisco and
San Joaquin Valley Road, )" in fact as we'll
as name. We have reason therefore for a
little more Joy than usual at this season
The House has broken the record in the
performance of business before Christ
mas, but the Senate has kept intact the
old record of much talk and very little
work.
There is consolation in the weather for
everybody. Those who did their shop
ping before the rain yesterday had sun
shine-those who waited were in the
swim.
The Senators were so eager to get at the
funding bill they could not wait for the
bill to be reported before they began dis
cussing it. 1t is evident that lively fight
is in prospect.
The Salvation Army will carry Christ
mas cheer TO those who need it most, and
you will have better right to your own
cheer during the Cay if you help the Army
in its good work.
The speeches made before the Govern
ment Commission in favor of Santa Mon
lea may in courtesy be called arguments,
but it strains even warmhearted Christ
mas charity to do ii.
The Christmas CALL will contain forty
two pages. The home postage on it will
be three cents and the foreign postage
five cents. Don't forget this in mailing
copies to your friends.
The recommendation of Secretary Car
Isle that we should practice economy by
cutting down appropriations for public
improvements will not be received with
favor by the people. That sort of practice
would be the economy which tendeth to
poverty and the wisdom of the Nation re-
jects it.
If Congress should pass the resolution
recognizing the independence of Cuba and
Cleveland should ignore it there would be
