The CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.

This week for Santa Rosa.
The last festival is always the best.
In the glory of her gay fiesta Santa
Rosa will be wholly roses.
Monopoly talks of refunding, but the
people demand foreclosure.
The California delegation should take
look at the National Convention before it
leaps.
1t IS only reasonable to expect that our
genial sun will show himself at some OF
the festivals.
Every man who assists in making San
Francisco a home market helps home in
dustries to revive.
1t begins to look as If we will have to
meet the funding bill at this session and
fight it to finish.
The hotel men will not carry away the
idea that California is in any very oppres
sive need of irrigation.
Ii the Populists help the Democrats out |!
OF the hole this year they will be in the |
hole themselves next year.
There will be many bolt in the Demo /
cratic convention, but not one of the kind |
that holds the party together.
There is a growing suspicion in the |
startled East that Tillman wishes to pitch |
fork himself into the Presidency.
The bicycle trade is said to be keeping |
up with the bicycle racers in breaking |
records, and the business is scorching.
The tariff plank in the Democratic plat
form this year will be planed down to the
most unobtrusive smoothness ever seen.
In Pennsylvania, where spring started |
IN with torrid weather, there has been al |
ready an outbreak OF forest fires to help it |
along.
Before this week closes the Republicans |
OF California will be virtually ready to |
make it unanimous for an unpledged dele |

We may now expect the Huntington |
rush to take place any day, and California |
interest in the proceedings of Congress |

cur before the passage of the immigration |
restriction bill.
Powers has introduced Huntington's |
scheme to the House, but perhaps the
mem bers will refuse to recognize it far
enough to take it up.
Many bill rushed through the House
has been made to go slow in the Senate,
and the refunding scheme will doubtless
prove to be one of them.
The California delegation has now a
great chance to distinguish itself in main
tanning the interests of the Government
and the rights OF the people against the |
monopoly.
Whoever is nominated at st. Louis will |
be the next President of the United |
States, and loyal Republicans will not
quarrel among themselves as to which |
favorite shall win.
1t is asserted by well-posted men in |
Washington that Cleveland believes he has |
made everything sale for gold bug plat. |
form at Chicago, and is now thinking |
about the candidate.
There are people who are urging it as |
serious proposition that Harrison made |
strong play for a reelection to the Presi- |

broke away from his son Russell.
There is movement among the Silver |
Democrats of the Mississippi Valley to |
make ticket of Boies and Bland, and if |

Il is reported that in recent hot spell |
in Australia honey was melted in the bee |
hives and smothered the bees, thus af- |
fording curious parallel to the industrial |
hot wave in this country that melted the |
free-trade tariff and smothered the Demo-
Gratis.
The Republican party has not only |
many strong men as candidates for the |
Presidency, but many strong measures for
them to advocate. Protection, bimetaI-
lism, reciprocity, internal improvements
and subsidies for American shipping
make in the aggregate as great policy as
any party ever undertook. In the mean.
time Democracy is up a tree, and dead
tree at that.
