Alta meeting of Leland Stanford Camp
No: Q of the Army and Navy Republican
League last night Colonel ]. NJ. Litcbfeld
in neat speech presented the league with
a handsome American flag as a gift from

ter stripes is embroidered in silk the

Camp No. 2. Army and Navy Republican.

veterans and assured him that the boys
will do as well on next Tuesday with the
ballots as.they did thirtv-one years ago
with bullets.

round of applause.

dence and generosity were abused, al
though not to the extent of marring the
success of the company which he di-
rected.
In 1868 Herman Levison married Miss
Marcus sister of George Marcus, who is
now member of the firm. For many
years Mr.. Levison owned beautiful home
at the corner of Van Ness avenue ana
Bush street, which he sold to Johnny
Skae for $50, 900. There the jeweler, whose
income was large, entertained lavishly.
He also maintained house in Hamburg,
Germany, where his wife and three chill
dren now reside. His daughter, the eldest
child, is the wife of Mr.. Jason, promi-
nent banker of Hamburg. Two boys, one
aged 20 and the other Alive with their
mother in Hamburg, whe re Mrs. Levison
has resided much of the time since 1888.
In 1885 Mr.. Levison organized q pearl
fishing company. He anu his associates
obtained from the Mexican Government
an exclusive privilege or concession for
gathering pearls in the gulf of California.
Mr.. Levison invested $S5, 900 in the enter
prise, which did not prove as remunera-
tive as the company expected.
The firm of Levison Bros. was estab-
lished in 1861, aud its business operations
have since been very extensive and highly
profitab BILE. The estate of Herman Leyison
embraces the land and the building at 1874
Sutter street, occupied bv Nathan Dohr-
mann & Co. and Vanderslice. While the
rich jeweler made money rapidly he did
not hoard his wealth. He was fond of
good living and INDUCED the pleasures
which his wealth could afford He trav-
eled extensively, and wherever he tarried
for any length of time secured pleasant
apartments, and surrounded himself with
the comforts and Injuries of life.
The surviving members of the Califor-
MIA Jewelry Company are j. T. Bonestell.
William P. Morgan and Gustav Marcus.
Mr.. Levison was born in Germany fifty
seven years ago.

The Armorx Club.

The Armory Club, G. Eckert in the chair
and Jerome Bassity as secretary, were ad-
dressed last night by Candidates Sander
son, Cook, Low and Wetmore. Among
those indorsed by the club were: John
Hunt and Carroll Cook for Superior Court
Judges; Campbell, Low and Treadwell for
Police Court judges; Barry and Kerrigan
for Justices of the Peace; Treasurer, A C.
Widber; Auditor, William A. Deane;
Surveyor, S. S. Tilton; and Aigeltinger
and Lack man for Supervisors.

Mr.. Chandler agreed with his Assem- bly,
man and said: THE people of this dis
trict are to man in favor of protection
and better times. They know that from
the Republican party alone can this be
expected Hence we will get sweeping
majority and be elected"
From these various sources it can be
safely estimated that San Francisco will
be well represented in the Republican
lower house OF the Legislature next year
and that Republican United States
Senator will so to Washington for six
wears

PEKyrKsIONs OF HISTORY.

Harper's Weekly gives us pictorial re-
productions of some Of the decorative
panels for the new Congressional Ii
brary Building In Washington city, and
amongst them is one by Mr. Friedrich
Dielman, representative of history. 1t
IS a female figure, on either hand of
which stands a tablet engraved with the
names of eminent historians. Upon her
right, the tablet bears the names or
Herodotus. Thucydides, Polybius, Livy,
Tacitus, Baeda, Confines. Upon her left
the tablet bears the names of Hume,
Gibbon. Neibuhr, Guizot, Ranke, Ban
croft. Motley.
II looks like a libel upon history al
most TO construct a work of this sort
and leave from 1t the name of Macaulay.
Nor can we suppose that Mr.. Dielman
omitted Macaulay's name because. he
never heard of him. man who knew
of Ranke must have heard OF Macaulay's
writings. lie has omitted Macaulay's
name because he belongs TO the school
which affects TO dcride Macaulay as no
historian.
Now The Times wishes to say that In
its opinion Macaulay has done more to
promote the study of history than all
the modern writer's named by Mr.. DEL
man, put together.
When we say this we do not ignore the
defects of Macaulay's historical writ
ings. He is largely partisan and he
has colored many events to make them
suit his party's aims. But he has writ
ten history with poets inspiration He
has seen its philosophy and he has
brought that philosophy home 10 its read
ers in guise so facinating and attractive
that millions of men read Macaulays
historical writings who cannot be tempt
ed to look inside the bindings of any of
Dielman's other writer's. The very ge-
MUS of history is omitted when Mac
aulay's name is kept out OF collection
OF historians.
4 friend tells MS that I'm the new and
magnificent library building In Boston. a
historical panel representing war, bears
the names Of Grant, Sherman. Sheridan.
and Thomas. but neither Lee
nor Stonewall Jackson Is men
toned. What miserable eff
fort TO belittle the two great soldiers that
America has produced! Children who
never heard of the others will sing bal
lads that recite the deeds of Lee and
Jackson.

We answer that we are In no way con-

advocate honesty in elections as we ad-
vocate honesty in all other departments
of life for the sake OF honesty. and be-
cause honesty in elections is the founda-
ton OF a Democratic form Of government.

Tor Bryan. there were no Cleveland cleo
tors i'm 1892. The same is true of North
Dakota with 1900 votes for Bryan, and
On Nebraska and Oregon the Democrats
largely voted the Populist ticket. The
State of Kansas, which gave Bryan H.
90 votes. cast it's vote in 1892 for Weaver,
giving him 163, III votes Taking these fig
ures into the account, it would appear
that Mr.. Bryans gain was. in fact. only
about the half of 100000 and 1t was
ss7, 525 less than the combined Democratic
and Populist vote in 1872
But this does not take into considera-
lion the natural increase in the vote

bined vote of the Democrats. Republi-
cans and Populsts was n,1HSGO, and
I'm 1896 the combined vote Of the Demo
Gratis and Republicans (Which includes
the Populists) was 1881 sos. an increase
OF l,622. 705. The natural Democratic in

Of 500. 900. making a total of 6S56,562 Demo-

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE on BUSI-
NESS COMBINATIONS.

President Cleveland. in his message
sent to Congress last Monday. calls the
attention OF the national legislature very
pointedly to what he calls trusts and
other huge aggregations OF capital, the
object OF which is to secure the monopoly
OF some particular branch of trade. in
dustry. or commerce. and 20 stife whole
some competition"
He very justly says that "our people
take a deep interest in this subject"
He adds. with entire truth, that the
limits which the Constitution has imposed
upon the power of Congress to legislate.
make the field in which IL may enact
laws to touch this subject a very mar
row one. though the State legislatures he
tells us. are equal TO graphing with II
and securing to the people such relief as
they are entitled TO.
The Times well knows that II Is popular
10 assail and denounce all combinations
FOR mercantile or industrial purposes,
and. therefore. II our object was merely
10 run with the crowd" and adopt rather
than expose fallacies. we would advise

have been evolved from the pressure or
modern business interests. II not ncocs-
sites.
But there Is no one in this broad land
that we know OF who has eivca this
subject more earnest consideration than
The Times has given TO II. and while we

who feel that the trusts" have injured
the business out OF which they earn their
livelihood, yet. II the trust" Is one
which does not depend upon statute isw
