TIE CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.

As for Irving NJ. Scott-he's all right.
To the Union Iron Works we point with
pride.
1t is time to be making ready for the
glorious Fourth.
The Oregon's record will stand supreme
until we build California.
Under the Junta Democratic harmony
seems to be tinkling cymbal and sound
ing brass.
1t is well understood now that patriotism
means protection and protection means
prosperity.
AS there is q Secretary of the Inferior in
the Cabinet why not Secretary of the
Pacific Coast?
Our streetcar system will be vanity so
long as the transfer nuisance remains
vexation OF spirit.
The stream of prosperity will never flow
easily in this country until we get rid of
the Democratic debris.
Wherever you hear sounds of enthusi
asm in thes' days you know that Republi-
cans are talking together.
After the st. Louis convention there are
going to be some prediction bureaus sold
cheap enough for firewood.
Now that we have the Oregon afloat per-
haps we can induce those Eastern fellows
to quit calling us mining camp.
TIE Prohibitionists have made their
platform bigger, but 1t is by no means GER
tain they will get more people on it.
We may now expect Eastern ship
builders to assert BELIEF that the Oregon's
course was measured by California yarn.
If the appropriation bill proves to be big
enough to provoke a Cleveland veto and
then override it the country will be
pleased.
If the Populists succeed in swallowing
anything as long as the Omaha platform
they might as we'll take a giraffe for
party emblem.
The only thing the people have to fear
in the proposal to renominate Cleveland
is that the old humbug may he too cum
ming to accept it.
The lack of late reference to the Nc
Kinley cabinet affords presumptive evil
dence that the Democratic Tyre broke a
string on the first strain.
If you wish to preach protection elo-
quently in this campaign begin to practice
it now by helping to make San Francisco
a market for home products.
1t is about as easy to get through the
eye OF an needle as to transfer at Market
and Powell streets, but the bosses ride in
carriages and they don't care.
The whole Nation may be proud of the
Oregon, but it should not be allowed to
forget that she was built by Pacific Coast
energy and Pacific Coast skill.
Secretary Morton was right in saving
much OF our fruit must seek foreign mar
ket, but all the same we must make the
tariff.
Many Democratic State conventions
have been held this spring, but none of
them have given Cleveland chance to
announce that he is not a candidate for
denomination.
The SUNDAY CALL of tomorrow will
furnish the best family reading that can
be had anywhere for the price, but to
make sure of getting it you must leave
orders to-day.
The proposed festival may or NAV not
occur, but the Fourth of July is sure to
come and we should arrange for celebra-
tion of it that will be worthy of the City
and the occasion.
Indiana Democrats might as we'll quit
shouting for Claude Matthews and save
their breath for somebody else. No man
named Claude will ever be elected Presi-
dent of the United States in these anti
dude days.
According to the way some people figure
the Republican candidates for President
and Vice President both will be nominated
before the st. Louis convention meets, in

There were 238 failures in the United
States for the week ending May 8, as
against 227 for the corresponding week OF
last year, being an increase of IL, while
in Canada. for the same periods. there was
q decrease of 10, but then the Canadians
are not operating under a Democratic
tariff.
According to Admiral Walker if we
should put every ship-building factory in
the country to working at full blast in the
construction of warships it would take the
United States seven years to get navy
equal TO that of Great Britain, and it
would seem time, therefore, for us to set
