The San Francisco call., 1896-08-24
CALLED UPON M'KINLEY.

1t is no small undertaking for 1000 pao-
pie to charter train and go to a neigh
boring State to do honor to candidate
for public office, and when 1000 Penn
sylvanians journeyed to Canton, Ohio, to
assure Major Mckinley that the farmers
and wage-earners of the great industrial
State of Pennsylvania were his political
friends they must have felt that the
country was facing a crisis, and that it
was the duty of all patriotic people to
assure their leader in the great cause of
prosperity that they were raIlying to his
support.
These travellers from Pennsylvania to
Ohio were not moved by curiosity. 1t
cannot be said of them that they merely
wanted to see the man Mckinley. They
were moved by lofty and sincere patriot
ism, and they went to Canton for
no purpose other than 10 empha-
size their devotion to Americanism.
1t may be that there was a thread
of selfshness running through their
hearts and minds, but if the threads were
followed to their beginning it would be
found that the Pennsylvanians-farm
and wage-earners-felt that if Bryan were
elected the one would have to face open
competition with the pauper farm labor
of Europe and South America and the
other would have to face indefinite idle
ness. Such selfshness is to be COM
mended in every American citizen.
In reply to the delegation Major Nc
Kinley said, among other things, that
'the thought of the people this year Is di-
rected 10 the present condition of the
country and how best to improve it. This is
the thought of every mind and the prayer
of every soul. Nobody is satisfied with our
unfortunate business condition and the
great body of the people want and mean to
have change. What shall the change be d?
Shall it be the continuance of the present
Democratic party under another leader
ship-a leadership advocating all the pol
icies of the Democratic party which have
been injurious to the American people and
rejecting all which are good, wholesome
and patriotic and which have received the
approval of the people of the country
The wing of the Democratic party which
controlled the Chicago convention is just
as much in favor of free trade as the wing
of the Dem ocratic party in control of the
National administration"
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-24
THE sPoILs OF OFFICE.

It is very easy to understand why the
professional politician-the man who is
''i2 politics for revenue only"-is shout
ing for Bryan. The Chicago platform de-
nounces the civil service law as a scheme
to deprive workers of the spoils of office,
while the Republican party is pledged to
extend the civil service list wherever prac-
ticable. The Republican party placed the
civil service law on the statute book, and
it has had Cleveland's hearty support. The
necessity for making intellectual and moral
worth the essential qualification for ap-
pointment to government Office was never
questioned by either of the great parties
until the Democracy declared in its con-
vention at Chicago that the patronage of
the Government should be disposed of
with reference to the faithfuiness of work
ers for the party's success during the cam
paign.
Mr.. Bryan is firm believer in the spoiIs
system, and if he is elected campaign debts
will be paid in public Offices without refer
ence to the fitness of the appointee. 1t is
for this reason that Tammany and Tam
many's kind of political bosses in the large
cities are working for Bryan's election. 1t

ans character could be so carried away by
ambition to be President as 10 make mer-
chandise of the Presidents appointing
power, but his platform declares for the
reinstatement of the spoils system, and he
indorses the declaration.
Ii the Republican party cannot win
without STOPPING to such disgraceful
method to catch votes it certainly will
not win. The Republican party does not
believe that the operation of the ma
chinery of the Government should be
given into the hands OF toughs and bum
mers, nor will it entertain any proposal
for anything of the kind. All things
being equal, those who did the most to Sc.
cure the downfall of the Democracy will
be the first on the list for appointments
but unless the applicant is well qualified

TIE CAMPAIGN OPENED.

The formal opening of the Republican
campaign at the Auditorium Saturday
night was great success in point of num-
bers, enthusiasm and logical presentation
OF the issues. 1t is unfortunate that the
accommodations of the hall were not
equal to more than 25 per cent of the
crowd, but even though so many had no
opportunity to participate in firing the
first gun" the fact that there was slch
general outpouring of the rank and file
shows how deeply interested the people are
in the election of Major Mckinley, and in
the triumph of Republican principles in
the local as well as in the National strug-
gle for supremacy.
A striking feature of the gathering was
the great number of thoughtful business
men and wage-earners, nor could one help
being impressed with their earnestness and
Observation-Disclosures of the kind that
comes OF q full understanding and appre-
ciatlon OF the Importance of victory. The
speakers were quick to catch the spirit
which brought SO many thousand people
together, and their analysis of the eco
nom ic problems which now confront the
country was made in soberness and in ear
together" about the public concerns of the
people and the good of the material inter
ests of the country. There was plenty of
the enthusiasm of determination. and
every one left the hall deeply impressed
with the dangers that threaten home,
industry and commerce in the purpose of
the advocates of free trade, uns ound
money and social revolution.
While there is really no cause for alarm
the people are becoming alarmed at the
aggressiveness of Altgeldism, and the
sentiment is so widespread that it be-
hooves every lover of our institutions to
become an active participant in the work
of uprooting seeds of Sc ctionalism and saw
inc the country from the reign of an un-
learned and visionary experimentalist.
There would be cause for uneasiness at
the threats of the Bryanites to overturn
our system of government were the
country not assured by such gatherings of
the people as the one at the Auditorium
Saturday night that the people know what
Bryan's election would mean, and are re-
solved that no such departure from the
fundamental principles of the Government
shall be made.
When the interior towns and neighbor-
hoods read about the Auditorium meet
ing they should be stimulated to greater
activity than ever in the work of organ
izing Mckinley clubs. The Republicans
of San Francisco will set the pace, but
close, thorough and enthusiastic organ
iZations throughout the State arr
absolutely necessary to the kind of a
victory that would set at rest for wears to
come, at least, any doubt as to how Cali
fornia stands on the question of prosperity
and protection for America

wild hay consists of q sort of redtop which
grows in the bottoms, and of bluejoint which
grows on the hills.

conda to-day, and he told me that in that part
of Nevada stock were in fine shape. They have
put up lot OF hay, but mostly fer winter in-
surance, that is, as emergency against long
continued storms
"a great many steers have been shipped out
of the State recently, and as whole l think
the supply is decreasing. Cattle are worth
about cents pound there, or little under.
Alfalfa hay is worth about $4 ton in the
stack.
"Quite number of new ranches are being
opened in my neighborhood. The proprietors

boldt. They have laid out several new
canals lately"
Rev P. Wright AM wife and D. H. Wright OF
Portage La Prairie, Manitoba, are at the
Grand on their way home after spending three
months at San Diego, where the younger Mr.
Wright went in quest of health and whittier
he proposes TO return and locate.
Portage" said the large, robust, genial
looking clergyman who is pastor of q Presby-
terian church ct home, sis a town OF about
5000 inhabitants. 1t is fifty-six miles from
Winnipeg and is in the very heart OF great
wheat country. Last year about 10000, 600
bushels of grain were shipped out OF Manitoba.
The crop this year will not be SO large,
although it is by no means q poor yield-an
average, 1 think, of twenty bushels to the
acre. One thing can say definitely is that
there is not now in Canada any desire for
union with the United States. There was q
strong sentiment ten or fifteen years ago. but
it has given way to a general desire for closer
and more friendly com mercial relations only.
At Portage we have about 200 refuge Sioux
from the United States. We have gathered
their children into school and are educating
them. All the Indian schools in the Dominion
are maintained by the different churches, but
while good work is being done do not think
the system is generally so good as that main
tained by the Government of this country In
time Canada is sure TO come to Indian SCHOOLS
conducted by the Government"
On March when the younger Mr.. Wright
left his wheat ranch near Portage he says the
weather was delightful. The next day, how
ever, a severe blizzard struck the place. The
winters, he declares, are "corkers," with rh e
temperature 35 and 40 degrees below zero.
That is why he is now so loud in his praises
of the climate of San Diego, a place
which he predicts will some day be
a great sanitarium, its commerce de-
yeloped from the date of the first Japanese
steamship line and its surrounding country
made green and productive by the use of great
water supplies awaiting capital to convert
them into reservoirs for extensive irrigating
systems.

When farmer or any other business man
contemplates any new venture he gathers all
the facts and figures he can on the subject and
from these facts and figures he calculates.
The result OF the calculation decides the ques-
tion OF going into the venture or abandoning
1t. In politics, however men are too apt to
let the politicians make their calculations and
to accept them without scrutiny. That is what
the free-silver men are doing in the present
