rush and then the monopolists and their
friends will have long time in which to
carry it through the Senate. This will
give them advantage over resort to dila-
tory tactics, and the chances of its final
success will be in their favor.
1t should not be necessary to advance
further argument TO the people of Califor-
mia. They have had the subject under
consideration for several years. They are
familiar with every phase OF the question
on both sides. They know exactly what
the success of the bill would mean to all
the industries of the State. They are
aware that such a surrender on the part
OF the Government to powerful corpora
ton would produce widespread dissatis.
faction throughout the Union and that
the evil effects of it would be felt for years
to come. They should therefore be earn
est vigorous and aggressive in making the
fight against the bill at this time. Delay
in the expression of public opinion will be
disastrous. Let the people speak out.

A SAMPLE LIE.

The Examiner of yesterday, under the
management of Long Green Lawrence,
who in the absence of the boss faker
Hearst acts as manaeing liar for his dis
reputable paper in this City, asserted that
THE CALL is not business success, and
went on to elaborate the lie by the state
meut that it has been reduced in size and
its news reports curtaiIed. The falseness
of these assertions was made evident by
the appearance of THE CALL the same day
surprising the Examiner IN every respect.
Consider the contrast. The CALL OF
yesterday contained sixteen pages as did
the Examiner, but the pages OF The CALL,
by reason of their larger size and the
greater compactness of its news, was equal
to eighteen pages of the Examiner. 1t
was, therefore, the larger as well as the
better paper. The amount OF business
done by The CALL was shown by the fact
that it contained thirty-six columns OF adj
vertising, while the Examiner contained
but twenty-six. THE CALL, moreover,
was we'll filled with good, live news, while
the Examiner, as usual, was stuffed with
trash, spread out thinly so as to make
fiashy showing. Thus on every point, the
Examiner was proved to be liar by the
acts made evident in the appearance OF
the two papers.
This is not the first time that Long
Green Lawrence has shown himself I'M
fortunate in the occasion of his lying.
Only a few days ago be announced in the
Examiner that the airship story was
fake; that the citizens who claimed to
have seen the strange lights were either
drunk or imbeciles incapable OF dlstln-
gushing the difference between an electric
light and the lantern OF toy balloon. On
the very morning when the Examiner pu b.
lished this assertion THE CALL reproduced
from the New York Journal a picture OF
the airship and extracts from a dispatch
sent to the Journal from this City stating
the story to be true, and declaring that
the men who saw the lights were reputable
and reliable citizens. Thus was it made
evident that Long Green Lawrence had
swinded his employer, Mr.. Hearst, by
sending to his Journal faxed story from
the Examiner and then denouncing him in
the Examiner for publishing it.
These two self-exposed lies, so quickly
following one another. show TO what des-
perate straits Long Green Lawrence has
| been reduced in his efforts to please his
employer in New York, and at the same
time Withstand the growing indignation
in San Francisco against the foul tactics
of the decadent journalism which the
two worthless are engaged in exploiting.
| That THE CALL is not decaying is made
evident by every feature in it, from news
| to advertisements. That the Examiner is
decadent Is made evident by every feature
i n it from the foul slush of its news to the
! flu tile lying of its editorials.

THE FUNDING BILL.

According to ali reports from Washing
ton We have reached the crisis in the fight
against the scheme for funding the Pacific
railroads debt and confirming the cinch of
the Southern Pacific monopoly upon Cali
fornla for fifty years 10 come. 1t is GER
tain an effort will be made to rush the
iniquitous bill through this session of Con-
gress, and it will require most strenuous
efforts or our part to defeat it.
From the tone of Cleveland message to
Congress it appears he will approve the
funding bill if it should be passed. He
warns Congress that the Government can
not delay action after the 1st of January
unless Congress provides some measure of
settling the Indebtedness of the road.
This on lis face is a recommendation for
the speedy adoption of funding bill of
some kind We are therefore deprived of
any Reliance upon the President to defeat
the measure. If we are to save California
from the monopoly it must be done by
our own exertions.
1t is to be regretted that at this crisis
one of the Senators from this State. Mr.
White. is not in Washington fighting the
battle of the people. For reasons which
appear sufficient to himself he has pre-
ferred TO remain at home and leave the
contest to others. This detection instead
of discouraging the California delegation
in Congress should nerve them to new
efforts. The triumph for them will be all
the greater If they achieve success without
the aid of their Democratic colleague.
If the plans of the advocates of the bill
are carried through the m easure will be
brought up early in January, and but a
limited time will be allowed in the House
for discussing it. That means of course
that the battle for and against it must be
conducted between now and the holidays.
Ii before January we have not organized
resolute opposition to the measure, the
chances are it will pass the House with a

CURRENCY PROBLEMS.

The Republican Senatorial caucus has
unanimously adopted a resolution OF Sen
ator Wolcott calling for the appointment
of a committee of five Senators to devise
legislation for securing an early call on
the part of our Government for an inter-
national monetary conference. This is
the first step in the direction OF fulfilling
the Republican pledge for restoration of
The free coinage of silver by international
agreement, and the promptness with
which 1t has heen taken is an assurance
to the people that the pledge will be car
ried out In good faith and 10 the letter.
The calling of such conference by the
incoming Republican administration will
effectually put an end to the monetary
agitation which Mr.. Bryan seems deter
mined to carry on. 1t will assure the
people that the contest is not between the
single gold standard and bimetallism. as
the Bryanites have asserted, but between
international bimetallism and silver
NJ on ometallism on the part of this country.
When that fact is fully understood the
appeals of the agitators will be in vain,
and the people will turn from that issue
long before the next Presidential election
takes place.
In this connection it will be noted as
good omen that the House Committee on
Banking and Currency will make no at
tempt to secure legislation on those SUBJ
jects this winter. They will report no
measure to this Congress, but will await
the assem- bling of the next, which will be
under Republican control in both houses,
and moreover, will have the cooperation
of Republican administration. This
policy means of course that no attention
is to be paid to Mr. Cleveland's recommen-
dation, but that the whole monetary ques-
ton, including reform In the banking
system as we'll as the standard of value
will be solved in accordance with Repub-
lican principles.
1t is of course impossible to foresee what
will be the result of the proposed inter-
national conference. With the growth of
the public sentiment in favor of bimetal-
lism in England, France and Germany,
whach has been amply manifested since
the election of Mckinley, it seems fair,
however, to assume that good results may
be expected. Europe is now aware that
the people of the United States do not in
tend to undertake the experiment of free
silver coinage alone. The nations of that
continent are as much in need of a return
to bimetallism as we are, and they must
bear their share of the work.
Taken altogether, the outlook for sat
isfactory solution of ali our currency
problems is encouraging The manage
ment of them is at last in safe hands. We
are rid of the pungling Democratic Con-
gress and will soon be rid of a dogmatic
Democratic President. The right men are
in charge of the work of legislation and
the right results are therefore to be ex-
pected.

The favor which the proposition for tar if
commission is gaining among Republicans
shows that the time when the tariff will be
"taken out of politics" may be much nearer
than any body year or two ago supposed it to
be. The necessity for framing tariff bill
acceptable enough TO the country to have a
reasona BILE chance to stand for long time
with only minor changes is more obvious and
urgent now than it was dozen or score of
years ago. for the country has seen good deal
of the injurious effects of frequent tariff
tinkering in recent years. The necessity will

perts considerable strength with the people.
