WOMAN SUFFRAGE.


Whatever may be the excitements III
this campaign arising ont of the tariff and
the money issues the Republicans of Cali
fornia must not be led by them to forget
or neglect the cause of woman's suffrage.
The Republican party of the State has
twice pledged itself to uphold the cause OF
womanhood. That double pledge it should
keep this year with the strictest fidelity,
and lend its aid in the campaign to the
noble women who are now so braveiy and
ably carrying on the struggle for the
rights of their sex.
1t is most appropriate that the party
which is now making campaign for
American industry and the welfare of the
American home should also make cam
paign for the women who keep the home.
No class OF people are more interested in
work and wages, in the promotion of pros
perity and in the maintenance OF the
American standard of living than are the
women of the country, on whom the bur-
dens of the home fall and by whose virtue,
thrift, economy and industry the home is
made the comfort of man and the train
ing-place of the youth of the Republic.
There are a thousand arguments why
women should be allowed to vote and not
one good reason against it. They are GER
tainly as much concerned in the welfare OF
the Republic as are men, and they are
equally fitted by intelligence to have a
voice in determining the policies which
the Government should pursue to promote
that welfare. Many of them are property
owners, and even of those who have none
in their own names many are interested in
the property of their husbands. 1t is as
Unfair to deprive them of a vote in electing
the officials who are to tax their property
as it would be to deprive men II the same
position of that right.
1t is useless, however, to enter upon
elaborate arguments of the question. 1t
has been argued enough during the last
twenty-five years. Every intelligent clti-
zen now understands the issue as well as
he will ever be able to understand it. The
only thing left TO do is to overcome the
inertia OF the community and arouse men
to the duty of voting as they think. The
only thing that stands in the way of the
adoption of a constitutional amendment
providing for woman's suffrage is falsely
called conservatism which makes men hes
itate to venture upon change of any kind.
The Republican party has always been
the party not merely of progressive ideas,
but OF progress in action. In many States
it has fought the battle of woman's rights
and widened the bounds of liberty for
them in every respect. The Republicans
of California cannot afford to lag behind
their party elsewhere. They have put the
cause of woman's suffrage on their BAN
ners, and should see to it that it is carried
to victory this fall.

BRYAN'S COMMON PEOPLE,"

The candidate of the alleged Democratic
party for President, w. ]. Bryan. has cut
loose from his moorngs to talk TO the
common people" as he puts it. Between
Chicago and Salem, H., he made several
speeches, or rather he delivered himself of
parts of the one old speech. At Cham-
paign fatcar had been placed on side
track and Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan were
escorted thither, where she was introduced
to the gathering as "Mr. Bryan's most
excellent wife" Then Mr.. Bryan told the
people that before the campaign is over
the discussion would turn on the question,
" Is this Nation great enough to Iegislate
Tor itself?" No doubt the people Won
dered how such sentiment as the question
implies could be made the subject for dis
cussion, fer the impression prevails pretty
generally that our Nation has been able to
do its own lGw.making for 12O years, and
that there does not appear to be any rea-
son why it should not continue to legis-
late for itself.
Then Mr.. Bryan told his hearers that
every economic question is a great moral
question, and that when it comes to be
settled it can only be done by the great
common people," He did not say which
classes of the country's population he
wishes to be understood as including in
his select class of common people," but
perhaps he will be more explicit later on,
when every one of the 100000 in this
country shall know exactly where he and
she belongs. He also informed his aud
fence that this is the greatest Nation on
earth. but it would be a reflection upon
the 1000 men, women and children of
Champaign who went out TO greet him to
say he informed them of something about
which they were in total ignorance before
he mounted the fatcar.
From the same hatcar Mr.. BRYAN flung
this deep mystery at his hearers: 1.-The
question; the people have tried to settle
the money question; but ii Will not be set
tied until the people have q chance to ex-
press their opinions" This is too deep for
the ordinary mortal to fathom. BY the
ordinary course of reasoning one would
come to the conclusion that if the politi-
clans have failed and the people have
failed to settle the money question it can
not be settled; but, on the other hand, he
says when the people have chance the
question will be settled in hurry. Per-
haps the aatcar had something to do with
tangling his thoughts; but, anyway, if
Mr.. Bryan's craftsmanship is to be meas
ured by such twaddle the more he travels
about and makes speeches the better it
will be for the country. The people would
then be forewamed, which is the same
thing as being forearmed.

GREAT NATIONAL UNION,
Federal Employees Throughout the
Country Will Come Together
for Protection.
Dave Supple Will Represent Local
Postal Clerks at the Forthcoming
Denver Convention.

Government employees throughout the
country are making preparations to form
National organization, TO be known as
the United States Civil Service Associa-
ton. The object of the proposed union is
to protect men holding Federal positions
under civil service, and to see to it that
they are not removed without cause.
Already many of the larger cities have
local associations, and If the plan as now
outlined is perfected the union promises
to be one of the strongest in America. 1t
IS proposed to hold a convention in New
York In September next. Delegates from
all parts of the col ntry will be present.
The local Federal employees met yester-
day to take such steps as were deemed
necessary to further the formation of the
association. 1t was decided to send five
representatives TO the convention, the
same to be selected later. The first civil
service association was formed in New
Orleans little over twelve months ago.
Other parts quickly followed the action of
that city, San Francisco falling into line
four months later. In the local union
are included all departments of the Gus
toms service, the mem ership now reach
ing about $50. In New York 1000 men
have Joined the association, and in other
parts OF the East there are unions varying
In mem bership from 200 to 500.
The proposed association will in no way
affect the National Order of Postoffice
Clerks. The annual convention of this
iast-named institution will be held in Den
yer during the month of September. The
exact date has not yet been selected. The
local clerks Will MAKE a strong fight to
have the next annual convention meet in
San Francisco. Many of the delegates
have already pledged their support to this
City. Dave Supple, superintendent of
Station d, has been selected to represent
the local union at Denver.

country may feel assured that when Mr..
Kinley is President there will be a volume
of money fully equal to all legitimate de-
mands. and that one dollar will be as
good as another, whether it be OF paper,
silver or gold. Five years ago we had
about the same volume of money as now,
but confidence prevailed and money was
always obtainable. Give years ago. says

day oats are being delivered at cents a

Is sEwALL A OoNsPIRAroR ?

Mr.. Arthur Sewall, the gentleman who
graces the tail end of the Democratic
ticket, is pronounced contradiction. The
platform upon which he is supposed to be
standing demands that "the power to
issue notes to circulate as money be taken
from the National banks and that all
paper money shall be issued directly by the
Treasury Department" Mr.. Sewall is a
National bank president, and as such he is
sworn to guard and protect the stock
holders, as well as the depositors. The
presumption is that he regards the Ma
tional system as about the right thing.
and that in issuing notes a bank no. only
puts its stockholders in the line of making
good profits, but materially benefits the
community in which it is located by in
creasing its volume of circulating medium.
1t is reasonable to suppose that the stock
holders of the National bank of which Mr..
Sewall is president had faith in his LOYALTY
10 them and believed he was q friend OF
the National bank system when he was
placed at the head of the concern. The
question is then, How is he going to ex-
cuse his acceptance of an Office on a plat
form that declares his bank to be a none
tary tyrant and should be wiped out?
As candidate for Vice-President, Mr..
Sewal advertises his bank as an institu.
ton that is at war with the principles OF
our Government, and constant threat
against the best interests of the people.
As president of the bank he Endorses the
National bank system and gives the lie to
the platform upon which he is running for
the high Office of e-President of the
United States. 1t would seem that Mr..
Sewall is either in a conspiracy against
the banks stockholders or against Bryan
and the new Democratic party outfit. II
is very clear that ne is secretly knitting
the one or the other. Prior to his NOM
ination Mr.. Sewall had the confidence OF
his party and OF the stockholders of his
bank. and no doubt deservedly so, but
what can be thought Of man who DELHI
erately assumes the role of an assassin ?
To be honest he should make haste to quit
the bank or quit the party.
Hitherto the National bank system of
the United States has been considered the
world over as the safest and best system
for issuing paper money that could be
devised by man. National bank notes are
secured by the bonds of the Nation, and
in turn the bonds are secured by the
moral sense, business integrity and wealth
OF the people. ALI this Mr.. SewalI affirms
as president of National bank, but as
candidate for Vice-President of the United
States he afirms that the National banks
are organized bands of robbers who live
and grow fat by plundering the public.
1t is important that Mr.. Sewall should ex-
plain himself. The people want to know
whether he is in conspiracy to break up
the country's banking system or to sell
out the Democratic party. In any event,
he owes it TO the stockholders of his bank
to tell them frankly whether or not he is
in q scheme to close the banks doors.

STATE BOARD OF TRADE.

Exposition.

VIII Exhibit at the Boston Pure-FoOd
Exposition.
The regular meeting of the California
State Board OF Trade was held yesterday
and Manager ]. A. Filcher reported that
the Santa Barbara Supervisors had de-
cided to send fine collection of the prod
ucts of the county.
After an informal discussion OF the sub
ject OF irrigation Mr.. Filcher suggested
that the Board of Trade send small ex-
hibit of CALIFORNIA; dried and preserved
fruits to the pure-food exposition winch
will DE held in Boston for six weeks or
two months beginning October 5. he
called attention to the fact that In this
State there is no concerted effort to intro
duce the excellent products OF orchard and
farm.
He said that man with patent con-
densed milk or the manufacturer OF q
special kind of oatmeal will do more ad-
vertising, and increase his business IN
consequence, than the whole State of Cali
fornia does with its unlimited resources.
The board decided to leave the entire
matter IN the hands of Mr.. Ficher for him
to see if the project is practical.
