provided and the benefits Of it enjoyed without
further delay.
Fcurth-You question the right of the Board
OF Supervisors in unanimously empowering
the Merchants Association "to prepare and
finish directory and index to the offices and
departments in the new City Hall building in
accordance with specifications submitted the
cost Of said directory and index not to exceed
$125." Although we believe there is no queS-
ton as to the validity of the foregoing action
of the Board of Supervisors we are willing to
waive the legal point en- tirely if assurance is
given that an adequate directory will be pro-
yided by your honorable board without fur
ther delay.
|! Fifth-We are glad to know that you had
"ordered your architect to prepard directory
six months ago." but regret to hear that press
of other business prevented the execution of
this much-needed improvement. AS a few
days labor will suffice to furnish the entire
building with complete directory we hope
sufficient time will now be devoted to the
work, and we will cheerfully cooperate by
placing at your disposal without charge all
the plans and specifications already prepared
by this association.
parent to your honorable board that the efforts
Of this association to secure a directory in the
new City Hall are made with the sole motive
OF accom- plishing measure of practical benefit
to the public. There is no private interest at
stake nor any personal feeling whatever.
There is not the slightest disposition to tres

servant.
Composed of citizens and taxpayers of San
Francisco, united for the purpose of municipal
progress and improvement, the Merchants
Association feels perfectly justified in calling
attention to any improvement in the munich
pal government that promises to result in the
public good. This association we think, has a
right to expect that all officials in our mu-
nicipal government will meet its suggestions
in the same kindly spirit in which they. are
rendered Though there may be differences of
opinion as to certain measures, no ill-feeling
or bitterness need be engendered.
II correctly reported by the press the consid-
Grafton Of this little directory has given rise
to degree OF friction among the members of
your honorable board and a conflict of au-
thority between your board and the Board OF
Supervisors, that cannot fail to impair the
usefulness of our City government and lower
the dignity of this municipality. There has
not been the slightest intention on our part to
cause any such display of feeling, nor is there
the least occasion for it. Unfortunately it has
arisen, but we trust that the high regard for
the public welfare, so generally and justly
credited to your honorable board, will neither
permit its recurrence nor its interference In
making early provision for this little but
necessary directory. sincerely yours,
Merchants Association,

Secretary Freud said yesterday that he
hoped soon to see practically useful wall

THE BALANCE OF POWER"

The Peoples Party of North Caro-
lima have a power which they fiji mly
intend to WELD for the public good.
They intend to force and keep to the
front vital, living issues in so far as
that power can do so. They intend
that its force shall be effectively
hurled against dead issues and moss
backism. They intend that it shall
strike fatal blow to any party or
organization that may seek to OBJ
scure the vital issues of the day by
invoking the ghosts of the past as
scare crows. We believe we are in
a position to promise any party that
seeks to inject into the coming cam
paign the cry Of bloody shirt" OF
niger" or any other hoary, bogy
shadow, that it shall feel all the
force of the strongest rebuke that
can be administered by the Balance

THE CRY OF THE POLITICAL FAKIRs

THE CRY OF THE POLITICAL FAKIRs.
"Good State Government !" This
is q cry now heard from the fakirs

We would do this because national

fakir cry of "Good State Govern

would willingly sell out the justice

o.
WHY TINE POLITICIANS HAVE YLOr-
PED.
THE CAUCASIAN has frequently
called attention to the fact that when
the Farmers Alliance and the Peo-
plies Party began to push the fnan-
cial question to the front, and to
show the people that it was more
important to their welfare than
tariff or any other old party issue
which the politicians Of the Demo
cratic and Republican parties had
been fooling the people with for
years, that these same politicians
denounced the Alliancemen and |
Populists as silver cranks. In this
connection tho following extract
which Is clipped from the Washing
ton Posts account OF the Demo
cratic State convention of Virginia
is Of interest. 1t is as follows:
"Jim Stubs, as everybody calls
him in Gloucester, but James Ma
poleon Stubs, if his full name is
wanted, was another happy silver
man. Only two years ago he at
tempted to make free silver speech
in the Democratic State convention
which nominated Governor OFFER
rell, but he was howled down by the
convention. To-day the delegates
are hungering and thirsting for free
silver talk, and cheering Mr..
Stubs"
Now the question arises: Why
did the Democratic State convention
howl down Mr.. Stubs who wanted
to talk free silver two years agO9
Was not the financial question just
as important an issue then as it is
nowf In fact, has not the money
question been as important for the
last twenty years as it is to-dayP
The evil financial legislation that
commenced in 1873 and which has
been carried on aver since ia resnon-
sible for the hard times for low
prices, for debt, and poverty. The
Democratic leaders knew this two

"The action of the Kentucky Demo-

silver element will control it by a good
majority. Whether, under the clrcum-

clearly fOreseeu that, whatever its &C.

They will just as certainly decline

may offer the plea that they agree
