The CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
The people are resolved to take free
trade out of politics.
1t is tariff first, silver second and Repub.
licanism all the time.
This time it is sure thing-as goes st.
Louis, so goes the country.
1t is the transfer system and not the
people that will have to take check now.
This campaign may not settle the silver
question, but it will settle that Of the tar
iff.
Congress will adjourn and the refunding
scheme will be swept into the waste
basket.
Grover has thrown up his hands on the
money fight, but all the same he will bear
watching.
If the people of Lake City need help
those of San Francisco should be the first
to offer it.
Cleveland has doubtless begun to con-
sole himself with the hope the fishing
will be good.
Instead of saying darn it, the Demo
crat will say 'Dagget" hereafter when he
wants mild swear word.
In taking notice that we can have water
spouts the East will please remember that
we don't have them often.
Congress will adjourn Just in time to
give the st. Louis convention the undl-
vided attention Of the country.
The most severely crushed boom in the
country is that of John G. Carlisle Even
Bayard wouldn't trade chances with him.
There will be contests on many issues in
this campaign, but that of protection and
good wages Will determine the most votes
1t seems to be on the programme for the
Democratic Convention that McNab shall
appear in the role of the "Crushed Trage-
dian"
One advantage of the Republican con-
vention to st. Louis will be the lesson it
will give her in the proper way to treat
colored men.
The Kansas corn train prepared to carry
the Mckinley delegates to st. Louis was
struck by lightning. There may be an
omen in that.
Now that we have had a destructive
waterspout in our own State it is time for
US to show what we can do in the way of
mutual heIpfulness.
If the Mayor had looked about him he
would have seen an octopus of extrava-
gance in his administration that he should
have put his foot on.
The discovery of gold in the earth re-
moved during some street work in Fresno
is only another proof that there is money
in public Improvements.
About this time the statisticians of the
various prediction bureaus have begun to
go over the figures of one another with
Tnore care and lasS viCor
The thing that grinds Senator Morgan
is that an adjournment of Congress will
compel him to go home and leave Weyler
still prancing round in Cuba.
Leaving the City in darkness for two
weeks would at least throw light on the
way the money OF the community has
been wasted by this administration.
Even if the Spanish soldiers were with
drawn from Cuba they would have no
holiday. Between the anarchists and the
mobs there is work for them in Madrid.
Sutro' pledge OF economy that promised
to make tunnel through the extrava-
gance of our municipal government has
turned out to be a mere hole in the
ground.
Imagination presents no brighter pic
ture in our politics than that of Tom Reed
ruling the Senate, and if he would consent
to run for the Vice-Presidency he would
get unanimous vote.
The Chicago Record wishes a wind that
will clear up the difference between a cy-
clone, tornado and hurricane, and per-
haps it may get one that will clear up
Chicago along with the other things.
The rise in the wheat market at Chicago
may have been to some extent due to the
operations of speculators, but not wholly
so. 1t is clear that all prices are rising, or
at least have an upward tendency. This
is bull country on general principles, and
besides this is Republican year.
1t begins to look as if the only fight at
st. Louis would be the contest for second
place, and it is probable the same state of
affairs will continue through the cam
paign, the Republicans having a walkover
and the Democrats and Populists strug-
