A GREAT OCCASION.

The great parade and the. splendid re-
ception to Hon. Thomas B. Reed, taken
together with the address of that states
man, will cause next Saturday to be
thenceforth noted as one of the great days
in the history of California. There is no
doubt that the passage of Mr.. Reed
| through the State will partake of the
nature of triumphal march and that the
reception which San Francisco will ac-
cord him will equal if it does not surpass
that with which General Grant was
honored upon his visit to our shores.
The meeting OF the merchants and Lead
ing citizens held On last Saturday and the
action there taken are certain assurance
of the entire success of the great parade
and of Mr.. Reeds reception. The COM
mittees there appointed, acting in har-
mony with the Republican State Central
Committee, the Union League and other
Republican clubs, are already setting in
motion the forces which insure success.
The Republicans of San Francisco, to-
gether with those who, although not
Republicans, are in sympathy with
their cause in this election, should CO.
operate heartily with those in whose
hands has been placed the duty of arrang-
ing the details of this great event.
Every industry, every enterprise and
every institution which favors the success
of the Republican party should make a
display of its favor in the great parade.
The workingmen of San Francisco
who are voting for return of pros
perity should march on next Saturday
as they intend to vote on the Tuesday
following, and by so doing put to shame
and silence the cry of coercion. Every
voter in San Francisco who can carry a
transparency or wave banner should be
in line. The experience of the great cities
of the country in the matter of parades
| should be repeated and even surpassed on
Saturday next.
Following the parade in the evening
Hon. Thomas B. Reed will speak. He
comes to US as worthy successor in our
favor to the man whose name California
has most delighted to honor. He comes
also heralded by his fame as an orator
ana logician. He will be here to fifty and
splendidly close the Republican cam
paign. He will probably remain with us
until after election day. Let US see to ii
that in her political action week from to-
morrow California will prove to her visit
ing statesman that she is worthy sister
to Maine in her devotion to the cause oi
the Republican party.

NEWS OF FOREIGN NAVIEs.

The use of pigeons for naval purposes has
been tried on large scale with success in the
Italian navy. Eighty birds were distributed
between the Stella and Savoia fiagships and
maneuvers.

The French battleship Saint-Louis, of IL ,275
tons, launched at L'Orient on September 8,
was begun during 1894. Navy building in
France, although much more expeditions now
than dozen years ago, is much slower than
in England and Germany. The Sa1nt-Louis
and two sister ships, Gaulois and Charlemagne,
will not be ready for trial for at least two
years.
protected cruiser, named Barrozo. built
for Brazil, was launched recently at Elswick.
She is of $3.50 tons displacement and carries a
battery OF six 6-inch fifty-caliber quick-firers;
ten 6-pounders; four 1-pounder Norden-
feldts; four Maxims and two field guns, be-
sides three torpedo tubes. Her speed, with
1ooo horsepower, Is estimated at twenty Knots
The Victorious, battleship, similar in all re-
spects to the Majestic class, of which seven
are now in course of constructor in the dock
yards, had her speed trials last month and
reached 1877 knots under forced draught
trial OF four hours, and 1892 knots during an
eight-hour run under natural draught. The
ship was begun May 90, 1894, and was thus
completed in less than twenty-seyen months.

AN EFFECTIVE ARGUMENT.
Boston Herald.

The Bryanite orators are doomed to failure
in their attempt to persuade an honest and in
telligert people that half dollar can be made
a whole dollar by legislation. Why. even the
Italian laborers who have come to this coun-
try for work know better than that. Word
comes from New York that large majority of
the Italians there will vote the Republican
ticket. They have been told that in the event
of Bryan's election the American dollar in
which they would be paid for their labor
would be worth only So cents in Italy, and as
they SEND much money home this argument
has naturally had much effect with them. 1t
is, indeed, a telling argument. and they will
do well to give IL conclusive weight at the
raolla .

SINGLE STANDARD CONFESSED

Professor Ross of Stanford University,
who is in favor of the free coinage of sill
yer, fatty coniesses that the attempt on
the part of this country alone TO have free
coinage would cause our gold to leave us
and silver to come in its stead. At Metro
politan Hall in San Francisco, Friday
evening, Professor, Ross said:

our gold-by making additions to our cur

The dominant note in Mr.. Bryan's
utterances and in the campaign waged
in his behalf is the note of hysteria.
Messrs. Bryan, A1tgeld, Tillman, Debs,
Coxey and the rest have not the power
to rival the deeds of Marat, Barrere
and Robespierre, but they are strik-
ingly like the leaders of the Terror of
France in mental and moral attitude,
plus an added touch of the grotesque
rising from the utter folly as we'll as
the base dishonesty of their trying to
play such role in such a country as
ours. For Mr.. Bryan we can feel the
contemptuous pity always felt for the
small man unexpectedly thrust into
a big place. He does not look well In a
lions skin, but that is chiefly the fault
of those who put the skin on him.

The Caesar and Illustrious, first-class battle
ships OF l4,90O tons. have been foated out OF
the docks in which they were built. The
Cesar, built at Portsmouth. was laid down
March %. last year. and foated September
last. The Illustrious was laid down at Chatham
March IL, 1895, and came out of her dock on
the 10th of last month. The fact that the
British yards are well provided with docks
enables shipbuilding OF that class to be carried
on expeditiously and economically, avoiding
the accidents liable to happen at the launch

Complaints from the engineers in the Brit
ish navy are similar to the grievances in our
own. At recent discussion before the Royal
United Service Institution Staff Engineer Ed
wards referred to the peculiar position of the
naval engineers, "who appear to be in the
service, but not of it, People outside the
navy had an idea that the naval engineer was
something like penny steamboat man or the
driver of locomotive. The remedy. he con-
tended, was to make the engineer officer an
executive officer in his own department and
have the style and title TO indicate his posi-
ton.
