The San Francisco call., 1896-03-11


WEDNESDAY MARCH H.. 1896
THE CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
The campaign waits on the State Com
mittee.
There are no signs of falling out in the
Republican ranks.
The Senate has taken a second thought
and Cuba must wait
In politics the Kentucky company is the
chinaman that must go.
1t begins to look as if there would be no
al oitrator between Cuba and Spain except
the yellow fever.
If Buckley doesn't have hand in the
Democratic pie it will be only because
there isn't any pie.
This is to be campaign for protection
to all the interests of the people as we'll as
for their industries.
King Hum berts troubles are by no
means over. The Kaiser has announced
an intention to visit him.
The sentiment in favor OF a meeting of
the State Committee may turn into hard
feeling if it is not gratihed.
In passing the Cuban resolutions Con-
gress may vet allow its resolve to pass also
and sympathy will end in oratory.
The Republican party may as well adopt
the bicycle as an emblem this year, as it
is surely going to break the record.
If Cleveland will not recognize war in
Cuba he might at least recognize the mas
sacre and do what he can to check it.
Until we get new tariff no possible re-
vival of trade can touch the revenues of
the Government and overcome the deficit.
Chicago is discussing an expedition to
the north pole and it will probably turn
out to be another movement for city ex-
tension.
1t is a pity that some Democratic leader
hasn't the nerve to stay in the Presiden-
tial ring long enough to knock out the
third-term idea.
For the sake of getting into Office Rud;ni
is willing to enter into war, and as con-
sequence he may have to get out of both
before long by crawling.
Republican harmony will bring victory,
the victory will bring protection and pro-
lection will bring prosperity, and that is
what we are working for.
The gold reserve is climbing up. but all
the same the drain is going on at the rate
Of about 100000 day and before long it
will be sliding down again.
When subjected to expert examination,
the British blue book on the Venezuelan
question may prove hardly more important
than a yellowback pamphlet.
There is growing belief that when the
Democratic State Committee meets, the
Junta will cease to strut in peacock
feathers and begin to croak like jackdaw.
The exposure of the tricks of the politi.
cal manipulators of the railroad has had
the good effect of putting all loyal Repub-
licans on guard, and the party camp is
safe.
II the members of the Republican State
they left a good deal of wood unsawed
where they laid down the saw at the last
meeting.
Anv change in the postal system that
will increase the cost of disseminating
books and magazines among the people
would be less like an improvement than a
relapse to barbarism.
AS the strikes have begun earlier than
usual this year there is reason to believe
they will be settled earlier and we won't
have so many to complicate the campaign
as we had in the last Presidential election.
Holcomb OF Nebraska is more pleased to
be mentioned for the Presidency than he
would be to receive the Populist nomina-
ton. The one is a pleasant vanity, but
the other would be only a vexation of
spirit.
Those Los Angeles fellows who are talk
ing Of Morgan and Allen as Presidential
ticket should stop TO consider what kind
Of race they could make with such a team
as an Alabama alligator and a Nebraska
gopher.
Ii seems We did the snappers OF the
BALDWIN Hotel meeting an injustice in
saying they forged one of the proxies used
in making q majority nj the committee.
They we're more enterprising than that.
They forged two.
Salisbury was too proud 10 recognize our
Venezuelan Commission by sending copy
OF the British blue book on the boundary
question, but ali the same he was discreet
enough 10 send three copies where the
commission can see them.
1t was right enough for the Senate to
ask the President for all tie information
he has about Cuba. but the chances are he
has nothing OF note that has not been al
ready published in the newspapers and
made known 10 all the world.
