A MODERN PHARISEE.

The Chronicle INDUCED yesterday morn
ing in lengthy, labored and disingenuous
attempt to explain away its disloyaltv to
the Republican party, and relieve itself
of deserved odium for the defeat of GER
tain of its local candidates and the dimin-
ution OF its majority upon the general
ticket throughout the State.
The very elaboration of the Chronicles
defense argues its necessity and justifies
the general opinion of Republicans that
but for its treason no candidate would
have been defeated, no majority dimin-
ished and no defense required
The public is entirely familiar with the
facts which place the Chronicle upon the
defensive in the matter ofits loyalty to the
Republican party and to its regu-
lar nominees. The threshing of old
straw by which it attempted to divert
the eye OF honest scorn was as needless
as it will be unavalling. When the Re-
publican State Central Committee de-
clared that the municipal ticket which ex-
listed by virtue of the Chronicles support
was Irregular and had no right or title to
party recognition; when the Registrar re-
fused to place such irregular ticket upon
file or give it position upon his official
ballot; when the Supreme Court of Cali
fornia approved and upheld the de-
clsion of the Registrar; when by virtue
OF these decisions by the supreme
appellate tribunals of the party and of the
State all past issues as to the regularity of
the party organizations were set at rest,
then, if not before then, the detection and
disloyaity of the Chronicle became a
political crime.
During the last thirty days of the cam
paign it devoted the main energies of its
editorial and local staff to sustaining
and encouraging the candidacy of a
struggling company of irregulars who
from the outset knew perfectly that they
had not the slightest chance of success.
Even to these the Chronicle, with habitual
unfaith, could not be true, for it basely
and inconsistently deserted Asa r. Wells
TO support William A. Deane, and thereby
contributed sufficiently 10 the latter's de-
feat. the effect Of such an element of
disioyalty and disorder in a campaign has
by the result been made only too plain,
and to this portion of the public indict.
ment the Chronicle has been too COM
pletely made conscious of its own guilt
ness to attempt defense.

FRUIT SHIPMENTS.
Over Thirty Million Pounds Sent East
From San Jose in
October.

The month of October was busy one in
the Santa Clara Valley orchards and fruit
packing Establishments, at least so say the
managers of the Southern Pacific freight
department General Freight Agent
Smurr announced yesterday that the total
overland shipments of fruit from San Jose
for the past month reached the extra
ordinary figure of 81 830, 900 pounds. This
included prunes, dried peaches, canned
fruits, ETC., and it is said to be the largest
shipm ent in the history of San Jose.
The general shipment of deciduous
fruits OF California to the East for October
was not up to the usual standard how.
ever. The total number of loaded cars
sent out was 1868. In 1895 it was 1897: in
1894 6357: in 1898. 5401. Under normal
conditions the figures would have been
otherwise. Owing to the disturbance aud
uncertainty attending the campaign East
ern buyers let their stocks run low and
bought only for urgent demands. 1t is be-
lleved that the present month will more
than make up the deficiency.

prosperity assured the people may now
prepare to enjoy the good things in store
for them, and especially tomorrow will

requirements of that kind.
1t will be found filed with good,
wholesome literature, with the best kind
of California flavor. The tens of thou

M'KINLEY's COUNSEL.

The telegram of President-elect McKin-
ley to Mr.. Hanna, published in The CALL
yesterday, carries with it an assurance of
prosperity to all the people of the Union.
II makes clear the fact that our coming
President has true understanding OF the
forces which bore him to the great victory
he has won and that he well comprehends
what the people expect OF him and hope
for from his administration.
Mr.. Mckinley very truly says: "The
victory is not to party or to a section,
but of and for the whole American
people," 1t has been a triumph of the
conservatism of the country, an unmis-
taxable evidence that business men and
workingmen are opposed to any further
experiments in legislation and desire a re-
turn to those safe principles of protection
and sound money under which we have
found prosperity in the past and return
to which is the safest way of establishing
our welfare in the future.
1t is pleasing to note that the victory
has been won not as that of one class of
people over another, nor as that of one
section OF the country over another 1t
has been victory for the whole people
and the whole Union. 1t has been a dem
onstration that every class of our citizens
and every portion of our great Republic is
sufficiently able to maintain justice and
business even amid the excitements of a
Presidential election, after the harassing
and disturbing condition of three wears of
hard times. AS Mr.. Mckinley says, the
people "haye indeed again consecrated
themselves to country and baptized the
cherished ordinances of free government
with new and holy patriotism"
Most important to US at this juncture is
the counsel given in the closing paragraph
OF the letter OF the President-elect: Let
us as Americans straightway devote our
selves to the upbuilding of America; to
the peace, honor and glory of our com.

THE FIRE UNDERWRITERS
Semi-Annual Meeting of Their
Pacific Coast Association
Yesterday.
No Longer a Compact to Maintain
Insurance Rates, but an Inoper.
ative Body.

The general managers of the Pacific
Coast fire insurance agencies in San Fran
cisco, although retaining their associa-
ton, have utterly failed in uniting on
standard for business guidance, such as
would MAINTAIN rates among their various
offices. They met yesterday at Battery
and California streets, they chatted over
business matters in a general way and
discussed the results of the election, but
such thing as a compact on insurance
rates was not mentioned.
This meeting was the semi-annual ses-
sion of the Board of Fire Underwriters of
the Pacific. 1t was we'll attended, as
in San Francisco were represented
Charles D. Haven. the president. occupied
the chair.
George Tyson of the German-American
Company, George w. Spencer of the
Elna, Henry K. Belden of the Hartford
and G. F. Mullins of the Commercial
Union were appointed mem bers of the
this committee retire at the semi-annual
meetings and three at the yearly ses-
sions.
The underwriters accepted the report
of their treasurer, George E. Butler,
about expenditures and receipts of the
last half-year, which were satisfactory to
the board.
"The Board of Underwriters" said one
of its m embers after the meeting. sis sim
ply an imperative association-just lives
along and holds us together without doing
anything for our mutual good. 1t could
not do anything, anyhow, it seems, be-
cause rates could never be held up while
some fellows would surely fight. 1t has
no effect whatever on rates or rules gov
erning the conduct of Offices. For that
reason we took no action with regard to
insurance rates. The board is rot COM
pact nowadays"

AN INSANE TURFMAN.
George Fosters Mind Unbalanced by
Financial Reverses in
Gambling.


George Foster, a young man well known
to all the habitues of the race track, was
yesterday committed to an insane asylum.
Foster for several years past has been
employed by John Humphreys, the local
bookmaker, and other blockmen who
have from time to time made books in the
interest of the Gunst confederacy. He
was particularly skillful ticket writer
and as such his services were always in
demand. During the poolroom days,
when Pauper alley was lined with betting
esta blishments. and later on, when Kings
ley's place was run in Oakland, Foster
became known to local bettors as the man
who chalked the names of the horses
upon the blackboard. He was a bright
young fellow and made many friends.
During the last year Fosters gambling
operations are said 10 have exceeded his
income and the strain of trying to pick
winners to have been too mucn for his
brain. At any rate couple OF weeks ago
he began acting queerly aad his friends
had him sent to the Home for the 1neDri-
ate, thinking his condition was the result
OF protracted spree. After being in the
home for a week, during which time he
grew steadily worse, he was pronounced
insane by the physician in charge. Judge
Sanderson signed the order committing
him to Agnews.
